Jason thought about having one more drink then thought better of it. It would be unseemly to get drunk at his parents anniversary party. He let Bridget get close to him in the hopes that it would distract him from thoughts of Vicky but it wasn’t working. This was crazy. He was miserable. He needed to try and convince Vicky to give them another chance. Bridget was wrapped around him so tightly and doing everything in her power to arouse Jason. At the exact moment that Jason was getting ready to remove Bridget’s arms from around his neck he heard someone call his name. “Jason?” He turned around and all the color drained from his face. It was Vicky. Oh, God he couldn’t imagine how this looked. Vicky turned away and quickly walked back into main hall before Jason could move. He was shocked but he knew if he had any chance with her he had to get to her right away. Jason quickly removed Bridget’s arms and stepped away from her. “Bridget, I’m sorry. I love her.” And, then he took off to find the woman he loved.
Everything was such a blur. Vicky moved as fast as her legs could carry her without running. She made it to her room and leaned her back against the wall. The pain in her heart seemed unbearable. She needed to catch her breath. All her fears were confirmed. He was back together with Bridget. A few minutes later there was a knock on her door. Vicky quickly wiped away her tears she didn’t want anyone to know she was falling apart. She went to the door and there stood Jason. “May I come in?” Vicky’s pain stricken face was on full display, although, Vicky did her best to hide it. “Of course, it’s your parent’s home.”. Jason was so nervous he couldn’t imagine what she must be thinking. Well, actually he could “I didn’t’ know you were coming. Is Angel here too?”. Vicky smiled sadly, “Would that have made a difference. Of course, it wouldn’t have. Anyway, I didn’t know I was coming tonight either. It was rather sudden. And, yes, Angel is here. This was your mother’s idea. She hired a sitter for Angel for tonight. They’re in the other guest room if you’d like to see her?”. Jason couldn’t stop staring at her. She’d been in his dreams so much that he couldn’t believe she was here in person. He reached out and touched her face just to make sure this wasn’t one of them. “You’re beautiful” Vicky nervously touched the place on her face Jason’s hands had been “The clothes, the hair, and the makeup…again was the wizardry of your mom.” Jason repeated himself “you are so beautiful” as if he weren’t really talking to her. “I..I..didn’t know you were seeing someone. If I’d known I wouldn’t have come. I’m sorry if I…” Vicky’s voice faltered. Jason couldn’t believe she’d come back. He didn’t care about anything in this moment except kissing her. So, he did. He lifted her chin and just kissed her. This time this wasn’t a kiss of passion. It was a kiss of love. Vicky’s knees went weak. He held Vicky in his arms and rested his forehead on hers. “I’m not seeing anyone. Vicky, I’ve missed you so much. I haven’t been able to think straight since you left. I’ve been doing some really stupid things to distract me from thoughts of you up to and including Bridget. Nothing is going on between us. I know you may not believe this but I’d just made the decision to take the jet tonight and convince you to give us another try. I love you and only you. Whatever our issues we can overcome them. I will spend the rest of my life trying to convince you of that if you’ll give me another chance”. Vicky tearfully nibbled her bottom lip before declaring to Jason “I love you too”. Jason couldn’t believe he’d heard her correctly. Staring into her beautiful eyes he asked her to say it again. “I love you too Jason and I’m willing to fight for us”. This time he kissed her and it was full of need. He was in the process of trying to lay her down on the bed when Vicky stopped him. “We can’t….not here in your parent’s home”. Jason understood but was anxious because all he wanted to do was make love to her. He ran his hand through his hair. “Then let’s go. The sitter will be here till morning right?” Vicky nodded “Then, get your things and let’s go back to my place. We can pick her up in the morning”. Jason could hardly wait to leave. As Jason started to help Vicki gather her things he went over to the dresser and stopped in his tracks. He saw a box on the dresser and picked it up. “Vicky is this yours?” Vicky turned around and when she saw that he held the pregnancy kit in his hands her smile faltered “Yes, it’s mine”. “Do you think you’re pregnant?” Vicky walked over to him “I could be. I’m not sure. I’ve been having symptoms but I haven’t been brave enough
