Right In Front Of Me...

Chapter 55

Their jaws dropped. They couldn't believe it. However, Q began to laugh.
"Liar! You have never mentioned about kids and I don't think you and Emily are expecting!" Q said followed by a laugh. But Murr and Joe were less convinced.
"I thought you'd say that, so I bought our scan photo with me" Sal said, pulling it out of his wallet. He placed it gently on the table and pointed to where the baby was
"That's my baby" he said with a smile.
"Wait- this is real?!" Q asked in complete shock.
"100% real" Sal replied. There was a brief moment of silence.
"Congratulations!!!!!" They all screamed.

Around 2 months later, I was sat happily at home binge watching some tv. I was now 5 months along, which only left 4 months until our baby was due. I haven't seen much of Sal recently. He kept sneaking off every five minutes, and disappeared for hours.
Today he had told me that he was going over Murr's place to do some punishment planning. I needed Sal to buy some things on the way home, but he wasn't answering his phone when I rang. Therefore, I decided to ring Murr.
"Hey Murr" I began.
"Hello Emily" he answered.
"Is Sal still there?" I asked.
"Where??" Murr replied confused.
"Over your house??" I asked.
"He was never over my house" Murr replied.
"Not even earlier????" I asked him.
"Nope! I haven't seen him in a few days" Murr answers me.
"Oh, okay" I replied then hung up.
A few minutes later Sal rushed through the door.
"Hey babe" he said to me.
"Oh hi" I replied bluntly. "Where were you?" I asked.
"I was... at Murr's" Sal stuttered.
"Funny that. I just rang him and he said he hasn't seen you for a few days" I said. Sal's face turned pale white. He scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"Did I say Murr? I meant Q" he lied.
"I'll ring Q now and ask him" I said as I picked up my phone.
"No no!" Sal said to me.
"Why are you lying to me Sal? Are you cheating on me??" I asked him.
