Grace gazed into Ricky's beautiful brown eyes and opened her mouth to answer him.
"Honestly Ricky...I would love to marry you someday. I just don't think now is the best time. We're both undergrads in college so we have plenty of time. And we've only been dating for a few months."
"That's true. I wasn't asking you to marry me right now. Heh...I think I learned my lesson from trying to marry Amy. We are too young to get married. We should get to know each other better. It would be exciting if we get married when John's old enough to remember our wedding." Ricky said smiling.
"Yeah...That would be really exciting. I'm really happy that you do want to marry me Ricky. Just promise me one thing..." Grace said seriously.
"Of course I will. What is it?" Ricky asked concerned.
"Promise me that you will stay in love with me. I'm afraid that...Amy could still have feelings for you after losing some of her memory." Grace said sadly.
"I promise Grace. Amy will remember Ben again I'm sure. He really loves her." Ricky said as he hugged Grace.
"Thank you. You're probably right about Amy and Ben. We should get some sleep." Grace said as she let go of Ricky.
"You're welcome. How could I ever leave you? You're my angel, Grace. I love you." Ricky said happily as he held Grace's hand.
"Aww...I love you too Ricky." Grace smiled as she laid her head on Ricky's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Meanwhile in New York...
Ben was still at the hospital with Amy and John.
"You can go now if you want Ben. The doctor said I'll be able to leave tomorrow." Amy said as she yawned.
"I know but I want to stay with you. Our fall break starts tomorrow anyway." Ben smiled.
"Thank you Ben. What are the odds of us ending up back together? After everything that I put you through..." Amy said sadly.
"Don't apologize Amy. I'm happy we went through a lot together. It gave me hope that we could make it through anything." Ben said as he held her hand.
"Even though I kept pushing you away? I am so sorry for all the times that I was mean to you Ben. Even when we were just friends. I guess I never realized how much you loved me until now...You did do some crazy things..." Amy said sincerely.
"Yeah. I knew you and Ricky would never work out. He never loved you like I do. And I'm sorry for all the crazy things I did to try and get back with you..." Ben said sadly.
"I forgive you...I thought Ricky really loved me but I guess not...I think the craziest thing you did was steal my wedding bans. That really upset me." Amy said as she smiled.
"Heh...Yeah that was pretty stupid...I don't know what I was thinking...I just wanted to be married to you so badly." Ben said as he smiled seriously.
"Yeah, why is that? I never understood how you could have fallen in love with me, the teenage mother. You could have chosen someone so much better than me Ben. Your family has money, you're smart, funny, and very nice. You could have almost any girl you want." Amy said seriously.
"Now I could probably have almost any girl, but back when we first met...I don't think that would have been possible. We were both nervous and nerdy freshmen and I think we just clicked really well. We have a lot in common Amy...At first I wanted to date Grace but then when Alice pointed me out to you...I just couldn't take my eyes off of you. And when you told me that you were pregnant...It was scary but it didn't stop me from loving you. And you're perfect just the way you are. No other girl has made me as happy as you do." Ben explained sincerely while looking into Amy's eyes.
"Wow...I was not expecting you to say that...I'm glad I make you happy Ben...I just wish that you made me as happy as I made you..." Amy said as she started to slowly smiling.
"It's not too late for me to make you happy. I've been here all weekend for you. I really do love you Amy." Ben grinned and gave Amy a short kiss on the lips.
"Aaaah...I love you too Ben...And I think I do remember our first time...It was very nice." Amy grinned.
"Heh...Yes it was...I'm glad you remember. It was the best night of my life." Ben said happily.
"Yeah...It was one of the best nights of my life too." Amy blushed.
"Better than your first time with Ricky?" Ben laughed.
"Ha ha! That's so funny I forgot to laugh! I try to not remember my first time with Ricky." Amy rolled her eyes.
"I hope so. At least you have an amazing son from it though. John is a really great kid." Ben said seriously.
"He sure is. I love him so much. You should probably get him to bed. He's sleepy." Amy said as she looked at John sleeping on a chair.
"I will. Good night Amy. I'll pick you up tomorrow." Ben smiled as he stood up.
"Thanks Ben. I'll see you then." Amy said as she stretched her arms.
Ben picked up John and he smiled at Amy as he left the room.
Amy saw her phone on the table next to her and called Grace. It went to voice mail.
"Hello Grace. This is Amy...I just wanted to thank you for all those kind words that you said to me. I actually remember what you said...I hope you have a safe flight and call me when you get a chance. Bye." Amy hung up and then decided to call Adrian.
"Hey Amy. You're still awake?" Adrian said as she answered her phone.
"Yes I am. I was asleep for hours so I'm not that tired. I just wanted to thank you for coming to see me and I remember those kind words that you said to me while I was asleep." Amy said seriously.
"Oh...You're welcome Amy! I was happy to be there to support you. I'm glad your memory's coming back! Is Ben still there?" Adrian said happily.
"He just left. I'm so glad our fall break's tomorrow. Did you happen to get the assignments that I missed?" Amy asked.
"No I did not. I'm pretty sure Ben did. We don't have any classes together. I'm sure you'll be able to catch up fine next week. How much longer do you have to stay at the hospital?" Adrian asked concerned.
"You're probably right. I get to leave tomorrow. It's kind of depressing being in a hospital for a long time..." Amy said sadly.
"Tell me about it...I'm glad you're making a full recovery. You know...Grace was really upset that you weren't going to make it." Adrian said sincerely.
"Really? She prayed for me..." Amy said confused.
"Yes she did and so did Jack. But she ran outside crying and Ricky had to chase her down. She just was really emotional and was afraid of losing you since you are her step sister." Adrian explained.
"Yeah...I'm really thankful for you and Grace. I know you and me had a lot of hard times but...I'm glad you've become a nicer person Adrian." Amy said happily.
"Me too. It's kind of funny how both of us argued over Ricky and neither of us have him..." Adrian sighed.
"Heh...yeah but at least Grace is happy with him. She deserves it after all the crap she went through with Jack...They were constantly all over the place." Amy said seriously.
"I actually thought they would have stayed together. Jack really loved Grace but she didn't really love him. Just like Ricky not really loving you I guess." Adrian said sadly.
"Heh...Ricky did really love me but he was never in love with me...Even when he proposed to me, I knew deep down that he wanted to marry me just because of John... The truth is, if we did't have John, Ricky would have never been interested in marrying me...I would have just been another one of his one night stands if we didn't have a son together..." Amy said as she felt tears in her eyes.
"Hmm... We can't really know what could have been...I'm surprised at how insecure you still are." Adrian said seriously.
"Really? I don't have a sexy body like you or beautiful hair like Grace...I was one of the nerdiest girls back when I met Ricky and yet...he still chose to have sex with me... It's still hard for me to wrap my head around it sometimes... Especially since Ricky was so promiscuous back then...I'm glad he's changed though." Amy said as she wiped her eyes.
"Thanks for thinking I have a sexy body...You are beautiful in your own way Amy... I guess Ricky saw something in you that he didn't see in other girls. And Grace's hair is to die for but there's more to a relationship than the physical stuff. And I think you helped Ricky realize that. You only slept with him while you were with him and he only slept with you. I think that right there should help boost your confidence. You have what it takes to keep a guy in a relationship without having to be a certain way. You're very good at being yourself Amy and I admire you a lot for that...I know back when we first met I hated your guts, but over the years I've gained a lot of respect for you. I think both Grace and I were confused about who we were for so long which is partly why we slept with different guys. But you were comfortable enough in your own skin to only be with Ricky because you loved him. Very few people do that these days. I know you slept with Ben too but hopefully he'll be the only guy that you'll be with for the rest of your life. He really loves you more than anyone else." Adrian explained confidently while smiling.
"You're welcome Adrian...I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me. Thank you so much. I guess I do have what it takes to keep a guy in a long term relationship. I really hope you stay with Omar cause I know both of you really love each other a lot. I'm truly happy for both of you..." Amy said as she smiled slowly.
"I thought I owed you after hurting you for so long. I really hope you and Ben will work out this time. I'll see you later." Adrian said as she laid down in her bed.
"All right...Thanks for everything Adrian. Good night." Amy said happily.
"It was my pleasure. Good night Amy." Adrian hung up and put her phone on her lamp stand and cuddled next to Omar who was sleeping.
So there's the first chapter of My Angel Part 2! Let me know what you think! I thought it would be good to have some good conversations with Amy! She is going to be in this story more since she wasn't in the last one that much obviously. And I thought it would be good to do a cute little scene with Grace and Ricky. Thank you for reading! :)
