Jon was quiet and very absentminded since he left New Jersey. He went through his daily business with a steely perfection and hid from the world at night, drowning his sorrows.
It was almost a week and he couldn’t get himself to call her, he spoke to Richie and Jaden often, but not to her. He missed her so badly, he thought he might go out of his mind, jump on a plane and force her to admit that it was his baby, even if it wasn’t.
His eyes traveled across the silent, lonely room, thanking housecleaning for cleaning up after his ass. The bottles and take away boxes would have been ceiling high if they didn’t.
Looking at the now warm glass of wine in his hand, he snorted.
“Booze never brought you anything Bongiovi except a hangover and a strange girl in your bed.”
Downing the glass, he grabbed the phone.
It felt like ages before she answered.
“Hello?”
Her voice was sleepy. Well fuck Jon look at the time!
“Hello baby.”
Megan was awake in an instant the longing in his voice yanked her out of her sleepy state.
“Jon? Are you ok?”
“I miss you.” Only three words but they sent her pulses racing.
“Have you been drinking?”
“Just a little. Are you ok?” Please God let her day something about the baby!
“I’m fine..thank you.”
She’s not going to tell me! It’s not mine! He suddenly felt drained.
“It’s late. I guess I should let you go back to sleep.”
“You need to go to bed too.”
“In a minute….”
“Bye Jon.”
“Bye baby.” The phone clicked.
“I love you…” but she didn’t hear his inner most confession.
Lying in the darkness Megan stared at the blackness before her.
He called just to say..say what exactly? Maybe the wine was kicking in. She turned on her side and closed her eyes, visioning him before her. His indigo eyes hypnotized her, his sparkling white smile turning her stomach over, transferring scorching lava through her veins.
She fell asleep with him planted firmly in her mind.

Jon didn’t come home three weeks later. He called and announced that things didn’t work out as planned and that he might be away for a week longer.
No one received that well, especially Megan.
Jaden was missing his father, Megan was on edge and Richie, well Richie started to feel panicky. He had a very emotional pregnant lady on his hands and he didn’t know how to cheer her up anymore.

Dorothea stared silently at the doctor.
“Pregnant?”
How in the hell could that be? Just as the thought crossed her mind, she felt a jolt coursing through her veins.
“Robert!”
“Excuse me?” the doctor looked at her strangely.
“Oh. I’m sorry doctor. “
She stood up. She had things to take care of. How would she ever get rid of him now! She started it as an innocent fling and ended up in bed with him. After a few months of spoiling and wining and dining she found out the bastard was married with kids! She dumped him just there and then but a week or so later he rocked up at her door all charming and apologizing promising her that he would divorce his wife. She fell for it and they ended up in bed..again.
“He’ll never let this go if he knows!” she sighed out loud.
A lightbulb flickered .
Well, well this might just be my ticket to become Mrs. Bongiovi after all! Robert being blond with blue eyes , she might just convince him that it is his baby. Hope to God Carol never finds out, she might rip me to pieces!
“Hello, Carol. Dorothea. Could you meet me at the coffee shop in about half and hour’s time?”
Giving her enough time to run to the drugstore to get her prenatal vitamins, she snapped the phone shut.
“Let the games begin.” She flicked her dark hair over her shoulder, lifted her chin and walked briskly top the drugstore.
