The Not so Big Mistake

`Amy spent a few moments just breathing in her bedroom trying to figure out how everything went from being okay between Sid and her to there almost being a figurative blood bath. She was wondering how she could be so stupid, why would she ever think that things would ever be okay between her and Sid. She slowly slid down the wall she was leaning against and curled up against it. Wrapping her arms around herself to try and control her emotions but she really succeed in doing was making herself cry. She started rocking herself back and forth but it did nothing to comfort her. All of the crying was making her feel sick and tired. `Amy felt arms come around her and press her face into this persons neck and continued to cry. This person was rubbing her back in very soothing manner and he kept telling her over and over again that ‘everything was going to be okay’ and ‘don't worry’.

`Amy finally calmed down enough to where she wasn’t crying hysterically anymore rather there was just silent tears flowing. She wiped her eyes on whoever’s shirt she was already using as a tissue before looking up. It was Jordan. He gave her a sad smile and continued to rub her back, and she leaned comfortable into his chest.

A little while later when `Amy had fuller regained control of herself she asked, “Why are you still here, thought you guys would have left with him.” She said that last word venomously. His arms tightened around her before saying.

“None of us left,” he paused before saying, “well Sid left but everyone else stayed to finish the baby’s room.” He looked into her eyes trying to show her what he was having problems expressing. “None of us like that girl he’s with, and he was way out of line.”

`Amy looked at him and smiled “thank you for staying and for yelling at the dumb ass.” That was lame she’s going to have to come with another nickname for him. “Can you help me up I have to use the bathroom?”

“Yeah sure,” he smiled at her and helped her up and smiled up to him, though she had lean pretty far back to even see his face. That made her laugh, “hey, why are laughing.”

“We look so ridiculous you’re huge,” he continued.

He laughed, “yeah I know.”

“I didn’t mean it that way, your such an ass.”

“Mmhmm yeah, you know you want me,” he was smirking and she wanted to Gibb slap him.

“Yeah okay,” she said heading towards the bathroom.

`Amy came out of the bathroom and made her way over to Jordan who was looking at some of the pictures she had on her nightstand. She lightly tapped him on that shoulder, “hey can I see the baby’s room?’

“I mean it is your house, so I guess you can.”

“Don’t be stupid I was really asking if it was all set up.”

“Yeah it is all the guys put the finishing touches on it while we were in here.”

The made their way to the baby’s room and when she walked in, she was speechless. She leaned against Jordan and took in the room it was beautiful. She walked in and ran her hands over the newly put together room.

“It’s beautiful, thank you so much.” She made circles around the room and a happy bliss, at least for the moment.

“Did they Marc and Kris leave, I want to thank them.”

“Yeah I think they went downstairs, they wanted to give you time to relax.”
The walked out of the room and down the stairs and into the living room where Marc and Kris were hanging out, `Amy looked at her chair and saw Beth there. `Amy felt like she was going to cry again.

“Oh honey, what’s wrong?”

`Amy let everything that happened earlier spill out even showed everyone the marks on her arms that the bitch left. She started crying again and Jordan drew her into his arms, to comfort her. “Umm well I didn’t come down here to cry all over Jordan… again but to thank you guys for doing it for me and to invite you to dinner tonight and of course who ever your dating is more than welcome to come. To tell you the truth I would really appreciate it if you guys would stay for dinner, keep my mind off of everything that has happened.” She paused for a minute before saying, “wow that was extremely long winded huh.”

No one spoke for a minute. Kris gave her a cheeky smile, “hell I never turn down a free dinner.”

“I’ll call my girlfriend I’m sure she’d enjoy dinner and I already know you can cook so we’re all good,” Marc gave her gentle smile.

“Well I guess I’ll go to the market and get some food for us.”
“Do you think we should make skirt steak? I’m really craving it for some reason,” `Amy grinned at everyone when she said this. There was a unanimous agreement to the idea.

Beth left, there was a bit of an awkward silence before `Amy said, “well I have to grade papers and I think there might be a football game on today, you it being Sunday so lets but it on a relax for a bit.”

They all looked at her like she was crazy, but she just ignored them and got to work. They flipped on the tv and started watching the game while waiting for Beth to get back to the house.

Everyone looked up when Beth walked back into the room with a bunch of groceries.
“Hey guys, I’m back and some pulled in behind me so I’ guessing the gangs all here.”

Marc got up and walked towards the door to greet his girlfriend, `Amy saw how happy they were and got a little jealous. They walked back into the room holding hands and he pulled his girlfriend onto the chair he was sitting on. “`Amy this is my girlfriend Vero, Vero this is `Amy.”

“Hi it’s nice to meet you,” Vero said with what looked like a sincere smile.

“Nice to meet you to,” `Amy replied with a smile of her own.

“I hear you stole my fiancé to put a baby’s room together, may I see it,” she said with a gentle smile. She must have sensed the tension otherwise Marc told her everything that had happened earlier. Either way `Amy liked her, “Sure come on lets go”

They walked up the stairs to the baby’s room, “It’s beautiful.”

“Yeah it would be more beautiful if the baby’s father wasn’t acting like the biggest ass in history… oh wait I think he does have the biggest ass in history.”

Vero laughed, “that was a good one, I can tell we’ll be good friends.” She paused for a moment before saying “It was really shitty what the bitch did to you, and that Sid didn’t believe you. I just wanted you to know that I’m on you side.”

“Thanks.”

Beth called up to them, “Hey it’s dinner time get you lazy ass down here.”

“Yeah I think that was towards me and not you,” `Amy said with a smirk.

“Hey why don’t you chill the fuck out, your such a God damn pain in the ass.”

They walked down the stairs and met Beth there “Hey Beth this is Vero, Vero my best friend and partner in crime Beth.”

Vero was laughing at that last bit, “Nice to meet you.”

“Yeah same here,” Beth said grinning.

The rest of the night went by without drama, which `Amy was happy about that. “Thank all of you for coming by and for helping me with the baby’s room, well actually doing it all by yourself I did nothing.”

Beth called out “bye” from her bedroom she had a lot of grading to do so she went up the stairs quickly.

“Yeah it was no worries,” Kris told her with a happy smile. “By the way don’t be surprised if I come by for dinner sometime soon like tomorrow.”

Giving a throaty laugh `Amy said, “Well I’ll be waiting here and this time you bring the food and I’ll cook it or Beth,”

“Okay bye,” he leaned in and gave her a kiss before walking out the door.

“Please call me if you need anything, anything,” Jordan was trying to stress how much he wanted to help her. “I know you don’t know me buti can tell your overwhelmed and my mom would kill me if she thought I didn’t help a girl, woman who needed it. So please call me.”

“I will I promise. Oh and by the way I’ve decided to call you squatch like Sasquatch, because your freaking huge and yea I know the joke you can make, but I think it works for you. I put you in my phone as that.” `Amy was grinning by the end of that.

He gave her a crooked smile before saying; “I guess I have to give into you, okay I’ll see you tomorrow for dinner.” He leaned down and kissed her on the cheek and gave her a hug. “Bye.”

Both Vero and Marc gave `Amy hugs, “call us if you need anything, we’re always here to help.”

“Okay bye.”

They left and `Amy went up to Beth’s room to hang with her for a while. She was grading papers and watching NCIS, good combination.

“So the Jordan’s hot and he was all over you.”

“I’m pregnant with his captains kid, why would he like me,” she said a bit self-conscious of herself.

“Hey honey, he has the hots for you and if I were you I’d jump on it,” She said with a wicked grin.

“Okay on that note I’m going to bed,” `Amy got up to leave the room but not before saying, “really.”

“Yes really, go to bed I have work to do and your distracting.”

“Okay night Beth.” `Amy walked down the hall to her room and thought about what her friend said. Before falling into a fitful sleep.
