Elizabeth pushed the stroller and Micky walked along side. “Where is his father?” He asked.
“I don’t know.” She answered with a sigh. “He left when I was seven months pregnant. I haven’t seen him since.”
“He just left you alone.” Micky put his hand on her shoulder. “You must have been so scared.”
“I was terrified.” She looked down at Nathan who was sleeping peacefully. “So, I packed my things and moved in here with my sister.”
“I’m sorry this happened to you.” He gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze.
“Don’t be, I’m not.” She smiled. “I’m glad I have Nathan. I wouldn’t give him up for anything in the world, he’s the most important thing in my life.”
There was a long silence as they walked together down the sidewalk. “Look, Micky, its okay if you don’t want to see me anymore.” Elizabeth explained. “Most guys find out about Nathan and they run away screaming.”
Micky took her arm and turned her to face him. “I’m not like most guys, Beth. I don’t want to stop seeing you.” He cupped her face between his hands. “I want to get to know both of you.”
She covered his hands with her own. “We would like that.”
He smiled and then kissed her. It was gentle at first, then he deepened it and she melted against him.

“You have absolutely lost your mind.” Mike shook his head. “You can hardly take care of yourself much less a woman and her child.”
“That’s not true.” Micky defended. “I really like her, Mike and I want to see where this goes.”
“It’s going right to the altar, mate.” Davy laughed. “She’ll get her hooks into you and before you know it, you’ve got an instant family.”
“What? That’s crazy.” Micky threw up his arms. “Beth isn’t like that.”
“All women are like that.” Davy stretched. “That’s why I never keep them around long.”
“I think you’re both being unfair to Micky and his new girl.” Peter chimed in. “We haven’t even met this woman yet.” He patted Micky on the shoulder. “You do what you think is best, Mick.”
“Thanks, Pete.” Mick smiled at Peter and then glared back at Davy. “She’s coming over in a little while to meet all of you. Try to remember your manners.”
