I was walking to work, feeling down about my situation when Tony came up behind me. “How are you Chevey? Why you look so down? You know I miss you.” And he reached out and pulled me close to him and held me in his arms as I tried to hold the tears back, but was unsuccessful. He held me away from him as he felt wetness on his shirt. “Why are you crying? Did you miss me that much?” He chuckles. I shake my head no, as I try to find my voice- lost inside of the watermelon in my throat. “We’re pregnant.” I break down crying and my body slightly trembles, as Tony holds me in his strong arms. “What!” He pushes me back and looks into my eyes. “It will be okay. I’m here for you. Wow! Are you sure?” He felt excited to hear these words and anxious. I shook my head yes and I began to cry harder, as he pulled me close to him and held me tight, I tried to compose myself so that I could get to work but I felt terrible and my head hurt from all the crying I have been doing lately, I just want to sleep it away. “Come on, you’re calling off today, we have a lot to talk about.” He takes my hand and as we walk to his house, neither one of us said a word. I called off work and we went to Tony’s room and just laid in his bed holding each other with gentle touches and gestures of love for the rest of the day. There wasn’t too much left to say, we just had to absorb what reality we had come to know. A few months in I had to quit work due to spotting I was a high risk at losing the baby, by now I had come to liking the fact that I was about to be a mother. I had told Al over the phone what had happened and he did understand that I was lonely and laughed it off. “He always told me, that if he had a chance to get with you, he would. Guess it was my fault for taking you for granted and being an idiot by being in and out of jail. I am happy for you two and know that I will always love you. Who knows what’s in store. I may get out of here and win you back- I’d raise the baby just like it was mine.” I knew that he would too, if he had to. I began collecting unemployment and Tony and I moved into our own one bedroom apartment in Ambridge. Things were hard at first – with the bills and relationship issues and me being stuck at home with....More to come!!!! Have I got your attention yet????
