With a Cherry on top

Part 2

FLASHBACK

Dear Dan,

I hope everything is going okay where ever you are. I know you can't tell me. I've been spending a lot of time at my parents. I'm pregnant... A little over 3 months. You've been gone for 3...

With lots of love, your wife,

Cherry

END OF FLASHBACK

I hear my phone ringing in the other room. I carefully walk quickly over to my phone with Jonny in my arms.

"Hello?" I say.

Jonny cries louder.

"Hey it's Louis!" Louis says.

"Oh hey! How's your head?" I ask, trying to soothe Jonny.

"It's better. Harry won't let me do anything." He says.

I laugh.

Jonny gets quitter.

"Are you babysitting?" Louis asks.

"Um no." I say slowly.

"Sibling?" He asks.

"No he's mine." I say. Jonny has quit crying and is playing with my necklace.

Silence.

I hang up.

Louis's POV

"No he's mine." She says quietly.

She has a kid?! She probably has a boyfriend!! Shit!!

I hear the phone beep.

She hung up on me.

"Harry!" I shout.

"Yes?!" He shouts.

"I need Liz's number!" I yell.

"Why?" Harry asks from my door.

"Cherry has a kid." I say.

"How old?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"You didn't ask her?" Harry asks.

"No. She hung up because I didn't say anything." I say.

"Go and ask her!" He says.

"I don't know where she lives!" I say.

"Liz told me. I'll drive you." Harry says smiling.

Skip the car ride...

Knock, knock.

"Hey?" Cherry says opening the door.

"HI." Harry says.

"Um, come in." Cherry says.

I hear crying.

"Sorry, be right back." Cherry says.

"About 2 years old." Harry guesses.

Cherry comes back with a little boy. His eyes still red from crying.

"This is Jonny, he's almost 2 years old." Cherry says.

"He is so cute!" Harry says walking over.

"Louis?" Cherry says looking at me.

"Huh?" I say.

"You okay?" She asks.

I nod.

"Just a little confused." I say sitting on a couch.
