Amy points to their elopement CD and admits it's also one of her CDs, she then points to the picture CDs and admits to that too. She points to Ethan's wedding surprise CD and Grant and admits she has that too. She also admits to having a pictures of us book in her 'Ricky box' and also it's not on CD but she admits to the diary as well. "How is this possible," Amy asks, "it's like no time has passed and nothing has changed between us?" 


"Amy nothing has changed between us, how don't you see and feel that?" Ricky asks, slightly irritated. Amy not knowing how to respond says, "I do see and feel it, it's just odd with me being pregnant again. I mean we almost got married and I'm pregnant again, and here you are, and I'm not answering your questions of if you're the father, because I'm too scared too." Amy pauses to breathe. "Why are you scared to answer the question?" Ricky asks puzzled. "Ricky, nothing has changed between us, you want to move here, how do I know whatever answer I give that it won't instantly change everything, between us? Plus, I told you I want to give the baby up for adoption so if I told you that you are the father, you wouldn't let that happen you didn't with John." Amy explains crying. "Amy I already know if I'm the father. You told me about John and you're not telling me now, which means it's not my business. Which means Ben is the father and nothing between us has changed Amy, so clearly it won't. As far as John goes that was different, I knew we could find a way to afford to raise him, I'm not sure we could afford to raise another baby right now." Ricky tells Amy, sadly. *knock knock, on the door* Amy cleans up Ricky's stuff then goes to the door and opens it. 

"Oh, hey Ben." She invites him in. "Hang on Ben, I want to show Ricky something. Ricky follow me please." *walks into her room and asks Ricky to turn around.* She grabs a book full of sonogram pictures and her wedding planning book from her 'Ricky box' and puts them on her bed. "Ricky sit down and look at those books, please. Then come back out okay?" Amy kisses Ricky on the lips with a lot of passion then goes out to talk to Ben. "What's up Ben?" Amy asks. "Not much, I'm going back to California tomorrow so I thought you, Ricky and I could go out tonight to the pajama club. If you guys would like. How's the baby doing?" Ben replies. "The baby is good she likes when Ricky is around. She would be a daddy's girl, if we kept her that's for sure. Just like John is a daddy's boy. I don't know how John would have reacted if I brought him here with me instead of leaving him with Ricky. As far as the pajama club goes, I don't think we can. Ricky doesn't have 'pajamas' he wears boxers." Amy answers, as Ricky is coming out of her bedroom. "So does the baby like the French horn?" Ben asks. "Yeah, the baby likes, everything that makes me happy! Including the one song I play on the French horn." Amy answers. "Aww, the song." Ben laughs. "What song? We can go to the pajama club, if you want to Amy, it sounds fun and I remember when you went for your birthday your junior year, I bought pajamas, so we could go. I want to go." Ricky cuts into the conversation. "The Amy and Ricky song." Ben laughs, "Sorry, that was a joke." Ricky looks at Amy confused. "No, it wasn't Ben, it is the Amy and Ricky song." Amy looks at Ricky and notices his confused, teary face. "My solo from band camp, I refere to it as the Amy and Ricky song." Amy explains to Ricky. "You okay Ricky, you look like you've been  crying?" Ben asks Ricky. "Yeah, Ben I'm just happy. Coming out here was a great idea." Ricky replied.
