History
Edit
Nineteen year old Ricky is the bad boy type who turned nice after having a son, John , with Amy Juergens. Ricky is the son of Bob and Nora Underwood. Both of his parents have been drug addicts and been in jail. Ricky got his father, Bob, sent to jail for mistreating him as a child. He was told by Bob that bad boys need their lessons, as an excuse to sexually abuse him. Ricky blamed his mother for not stopping Bob when he was younger.
Ricky went to school and told everything to his teachers about his abuse. After that, he was put into foster care and his foster parents got him into therapy. After being in several different foster homes he ended up in a stable home (Margaret and Shakur). The abuse had a profound affect on Rickys life, making him think that he couldn't be loved and that he didn't deserve love. Consequently, he slept around alot trying to find the love and control over his life that he had never had.
He had a one night stand with Amy Juergens at band camp. He found out about her pregnancy by hearing the rumors around school. At first he didn't want anything to do with Amy or the baby, and she had definite misgivings about going through with the pregnancy. All he really wanted was to sleep with Adrian and continue his life like usual. He went to Adrian's apartment, on a school day after having a small argument with his foster parents. He refused to go to school, but she went ahead because she had to turn in her English Lit paper but allowed him to stay. Ricky tries persuade her to stay, but Adrian says, "No, I'm not going to get marked down!" but then she relents and says she'll come back at lunch, after her English Lit class. Unexpectedly, Amy's father George Juergens stops by Adrian's house, recognizes Ricky and has a conversation with him. He states that Ricky will have nothing to do with the baby when it comes, or even see the baby. George also states that there is one thing that he is sure about, Ricky will be paying child support for the baby until he or she turns eighteen.
Ricky was offended by what Mr. Juergens said, and went to his therapist to talk about it. The therapy got Ricky thinking that he doesn't want to become like his father, who doesn't care for him. So after the session he went to Amy's house and told her that he would like to talk to her and her parents about what's best for the baby, and states that he wants to be involved. He does want to see his baby and take care of him or her. Ricky later decides that he wants to have a more serious relationship with Adrian and tells her he doesn't want her sleeping with other guys, he on the other hand wants to sleep with other girls while still being in a relationship with Adrian. They break up after Adrian cheats and has sex with Ben as a result of Ricky and Amy kissing. Both Adrian and Ben thought that Ricky and Amy had done much more than kissing. Meanwhile, Ricky is also dealing with the fact that Ashley has a crush on his and that he has a slight attraction to her in return. The attraction escalates until Ricky and Ashley kiss, but Ricky ends the kiss.
Ricky and Amy finally get the chance to start thinking about what they want their relationship to be in the episode "Up All Night" while in New York. Amy returns home early because she starts to question whether Ricky can maintain an exclusive relationship. Amy convinces Ricky to date her, stating that that is how it usually happens that people go on dates and fall in love. Ricky is unsure about the idea, but goes along with the plan. It the episode "Who do you Trust" Ricky is tested for STD's after Amy states that she is ready to have sex, but only after she sees his test results. Ricky and Amy continue to date, and Amy and John move into the apartment in the episode "When One Door Closes".
Ricky and Amy continue to have relationship issues that they resolve over time. Amy then tries to pusuade Ricky to propose to her but he does not want to get married at the moment. But at graduation, Ricky is named Valedictorian and he proposes to Amy during his speech in the season four mid-season finale "And Circumstance".
