"You know what? Go rot in hell you bastard!"

"Not for a while sweetheart "

"Ughh I hate you! I mean seriously did you think I would be like 'yeah you know what fuck it let's have a baby! and we can raise it together and we can pretend to be a happy family' are you that selfish? "

"Stop being dramatic ok? It will grow up with what it needs. "

"And tell me exactly Michael what do you think "it" needs? " I said puting quotations on the 'it'

"Food, money, a place to sleeep I don't know I wasn't exactly planning to get married and have a kid besides that's what you're here for." he said in a bored tone

"For the last fucking time I didn't want this either. For god's sake! Can you stop blaming me I mean you still sleep around so I honestly don't know why you look at me like I killed your dog!"

"Don't bring Mr.peanut in this he has nothing to do with this."

"See you care more about this dog than any human being you have met and you just expect me to pop a baby out?"

"No I expect you to 'pop one out' because it was part of the deal."

After a week of John constantly asking me out on a date, we finally set a date to Saturday. Which was today.So here I was with Diana pulling up my hair in different directions while I was trying to do my makeup at the same time.

"Oh hell no! Diana what the hell I'm not a prostitute!"

"Come on you will look great! I am begging you wear this dress!"

"Dress?! I will wear a dress when you put one on my face! This scrap of red fabric is definitely not a dress."

"Yes it is, It is very sexy and age appropriate."

"Diana I am a pregnant married woman going on a date with a man that is not my husband this is so not appropriate!"

"Damn it Grace! Just wear the freaking dress!" I nodded scared.

After about an hour of trying to squeeze myself into the dress....

"Wow you look gorgeous Grace." He said taking in my outfit which consisted of a red dress, black heels, a black leather jacket and a small clutch. My black died hair was is soft curls, my lips were red, and my eyes were smokey.

"wow, you look amazing."

"Thank you John although I feel like a pregnant prostitute."

He chuckled "You never fail to amaze me Grace. Really, you are something else."

I took his outstretched hand. "Thank you kind sir, shall we go?" I said in a fake British accent.

"So Grace are you single or has a man claimed your heart? "

I stayed silence not knowing how to answer the question "You don't have to answer if it makes you uncomfortable Grace"

"It's not that it's just that I'm not ready to talk about all of that."

He reached across the table and grabbed my hand. "It's ok, I understand. And I know this may be sudden as I only met you a week ago but I would hate to loose this opportunity to tell you that I hope that one day you can see me as more than your friend."

I stayed silent again at loss with words. "It's ok Grace you don't have to say anything I understand. And believe me when I say that I will wait for you as long as you need even if it takes you decades."

"Thanks John."

"Don't worry about it.I know you may be tired so how about we head home so you can go to bed and I can finish some work."

"Ok, what do you work in? If you don't mind my nosiness" (real word?)

"I don't, I'm an architect and I have some experience as an interior designer. "

"Well that explains why your house looks like it was taken out of a magazine. "

He chuckled "Thanks. Are you ready? "

"Yeah let's go"

After that night we went on to several dates for months until one night he confessed his love for me but I told him I could only see him as a friend so we both agreed to stay friends.

"Were? On the glass table? Ok I will be there. Yes I know where you work.work. Ok next time wake up earlier. "

Ughh this morning I was woken up when my phone rang and John told me he forgot a contract on the table and Diana was already at work leaving me no option than to take him his papers. That child! Through these months I have learned that he forgets things easily. And guess who pays the price? Yup me! I was having one of the best slumbers since I turned five months.

I was taken out of my trance as a tall man bumped onto me making me drop all my papers.Great! Now I had to bend down to grab them.

Before I could, the man bent down and handed me the papers and left without a word.

Rude much?!Mmm he reminded me of someone but I couldn't place him as he had dark shades on that covered most of his face.

I made my way inside the building feeling someone watching me. I ignored it as John embraced me in a hug.

"Hey how are you feeling? Did I make you walk to much?Are you ok? Is Jelly bean tired?"

"Relax you're babbling Jelly bean and I are fine a little walking is good for us."

"Thank god!"

"I know it's not the time or place, but have you heard anything yet?" Apparently his mother called him a few months ago with the news that she saw his ex-girlfriend who was very pregnant. When his mother asked her who was the father she said it was John but begged her to stay quiet. John was mad he couldn't believe that she hid something important like that so he tried to track her down but so far he has hit a dead end.

"No not yet I'm worried my son or daughter will be born any second now and it kills me to know I'm not going to be there for his/her birth. "

"Hey it's ok I know you will find her sooner or later just don't loose hope. Now if you will excuse me I have to go home to take a nap."

"Oh well excuse me. You know at least you don't have to work."

"Ha ha! Very funny" That was true I worked at a boutique for two months but I decide to quit as I no longer needed the job and I didn't want to stress myself out so now Diana works there.

"I know I'm just hilarious, but seriously I think you should leave."

"You're such a meanie keep it up and you will have to find someone to make you dinner now bye Mr.I'm needed. " I told him sticking out my tongue

"Oh be quiet and leave already woman!"

"Ok ok I'm leaving. Bye!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A week later:

"I'm leaving Grace! Thanks for the breakfast! "

"Bye be safe! Have a good day! Do you have everything? "

"Yes Grace I do!" Said Diana as she closed the door.

As I was making my way to my room to take a shower the door bell rang. "Ughh what did you forget now Diana? I knew you forget some-"

The person at the door was definitely not Diana. The person at the door was someone who I didn't expect to see.

"Well I should be asking you that. Now tell me what did you forget to tell me Rosalie, or should I say Grace?" He said looking down at my swollen stomach.

"M-Mi-Michael? "
