“Jacqui is here” Nathan said

“I know I seen them” Amy replied

“You shouldn’t have played tonight” Nathan stated

“I know”

“Amy your not invisible, and your not as strong as your making out, if you need to cry then do it, I know you hate people seeing you upset but really you have every right to be” Nathan said

“Nate I cant take it anymore, I’m struggling big time and the one person who hurt me is the one person I want near me to tell me it’s going to be fine”

“That’s because you love her and she loves you and you know it, she didn’t do this to hurt you, She just didn’t think it all through, Mum and Mama too, they are kicking themselves big time for it”

“They shouldn’t have kept it from me, I would have been okay if they warned me, it was the shock of seeing her and then hearing all them knew” Amy explained

“I know…listen you need to take some time out from basketball, tell coach he will understand, have some you time” Nathan suggested as he got up, he pulled Amy up “Let’s go get something to eat I’m starving”

Amy smiled putting her arm around Nathan.

“Text Mum so she knows your with me, tell her I’ll drop you off later”

As much as she was angry with them, she wouldn’t ignore their concerns with Nathan.

“How about I tell them where you are?” Nathan smirked

Amy looked at him

“I haven’t said a word I promise you” Nathan smiled “But you can’t keep staying at a hotel”

2 hours later…

Amy dropped Nathan off, Tina was watching for them coming, She walked out the house over to Amy’s car.

“Can I talk to you for 2 minutes?” Tina asked

“I don’t want to talk to you right now” Amy said

“Please?” Tina asked

Amy looked from Nathan to Tina.

“I’m going to go for a shower, I love you Amy” Nathan said getting out the car

“Love you too buddy” Amy said as she watched Nathan walk in the house, She turned her attention back to Tina

“Jacqui didn’t want to keep this from you, we pretty much pressured her into it” Tina stated

“She’s a big girl she makes her own decisions” Amy stated

“Amy come on…she’s pregnant and we were all against telling you”

“Why?” Amy asked “Why was it so hard to tell me?”

“We were scared on how you would respond” Tina admitted

“Mum I’m not a little girl I’m 29 years old”

“I know, Amy all I can do is apologise, I understand your angry but please talk to you wife, She’s really worried about you and stressed, I promise you she was against us not telling you, but she was fighting a losing battle”

“She could have told me!” Amy stated

“Amy you know how easily manipulated Jacqui is, we talked her into believing it was for the best” Tina said

Amy sighed

“Go speak to her, let her explain” Tina stated

“I’m angry and I’m hurt” Amy said

“You have every right to be” Tina said “Just talk to her”

Amy thought for a second and then got out her car. She walked past Tina and over to her own house. She opened the door; Ashley was sitting on the sofa.

“Where’s Jacqui?” Amy asked

“Upstairs she wasn’t feeling good” Ashley said “I’m really sorry Amy we were idiots”

“Spencer is in the Ellendale Hotel, room 302, go explain to her” Amy said

“Thank you” Ashley said lifting her keys
