Once the shock had worn off, John began to realize his marriage was in deep shit. Having an affair is one thing, but becoming a father with another woman other then your wife, is something entirely different. This was something that couldn't be covered up with phony excuses and lies.
John spent the next few weeks trying to keep equal time between his home and the bedroom of the woman who was having his baby. It wasn't easy, and Ivy wasn't about to make it easy either.
"John, I want you to divorce her," said Ivy, as she and John sat in her living room.
"I can't do that, baby, she'll wipe me out and I'll have nothing," he answered.
"You'll have me, but I guess that doesn't mean shit to you," said Ivy, getting up from the sofa and walking towards the stairs.
"I didn't mean it like that, baby, where are you going? Ivy come back and let's finish talking about this," he said.
Ivy said nothing, she just turned and looked over her shoulder, giving John a seething glare.
John knew he had said the wrong thing and he got up and followed Ivy, hoping to make up for his stupid remark.
He came up behind Ivy and gently grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me, John," she hissed, "I don't wanna even fucking look at you right now."
"Well that's too fucking bad, Ivy, because I'm not leaving until you and I talk this out," he said, following her up the stairs and into her bedroom.
Ivy attempted to close the door on John's arm, but he was much too strong for her.
"Ivy!! Baby, c'mon, don't do this, please talk to me," he begged, taking a seat next to her on the bed.
"Forget it, John, the next words that come out of your mouth better be you are divorcing your wife, otherwise, this conversation is over," Ivy snapped, once again glaring at John.
John took a deep breath and looked down to the floor, "Baby, it's not that cut and dried, I can't just walk out on Melissa just because you want me to."
"I don't give a flying fuck about Melissa," she said sarcastically, "I'm having your fucking child, doesn't that count for anything?"
"Yes baby it does, but she's my wife, there's steps that have to be taken," he said, trying to calm her down.
"Then fucking take them, John, or I will tell her for you," said Ivy, getting up and standing in front of him.
John looked up into Ivy's eyes, he saw a look that he had never seen before, almost like she was possessed.
She stood before him and began slowly removing her clothes.
