I love you, Ray. I love you more than anything else in this world. So let's just do this, please, baby. Marry me.

Deacon was laying on the floor in front of the fire place with Rayna in his arms, a blanket covering both of them. He leaned down to kiss her forehead, and she sighed comfortably. "God, you're so beautiful. I can't wait for you to be my wife."

Rayna smiled and leaned back up, kissing Deacon's mouth. "I'm so happy." She pulled Deacon down and wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you so much." They connected their mouths again, and Deacon straddled Rayna and smiled into the kiss.

"Were you drunk last night when you asked me?"

Deacon looked at her, confused. "When I asked you what?"

Rayna's face fell. "Oh..." She moved her fingers down to the band on her left hand, and she slowly started to slide it off.

"Rayna, what happened, sweetie?" He walked forward and reached out to grab around her waist.

She shoved him away and backed up. "Get your hands off me! Were you drunk last night when you asked me?" Deacon didn't respond. He watched as the ring flew through the air and landed by his feet, and Rayna stormed away.

He bent down to grab the ring, yelling Rayna's name. "Ray! Ray-Rayna!" He ran after her and tried to stop her, but the door to their bedroom slammed in his face.

Rayna was sitting on the floor of the bathroom of her condo, breathing hard. "This can't be happening..." she thought to herself. "I can't be pregnant." She looked down at the test again, trying to change what the screen said. No suck luck. She was pregnant dead as a hammer.

She reached up to grab the phone off of the counter and took a deep breath before dialing the number.

It rang twice before the voice came through the other end. "Hello?"

"Tandy?" Rayna started crying. "Tandy, thank God."

"Rayna? Babe, what's going on? Are you alright?"

Rayna shook her head. "I need you to come over. Don't ask questions, just please come over."

"O-okay. I'll be there as soon as I can. Hang tight, okay?" Tandy hung up and Rayna pulled her knees to her chest, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Who's baby is it?" Tandy asked her sister.

Rayna sighed, shrugging. "I don't know...probably Deacon's. Teddy and I haven't together that long and we're always careful...I don't know, Tandy..."

Tandy gasped. "Have you told him yet? I mean...I know you two aren't on the best terms, but..." Rayna shook her head. "You haven't told him? Rayna..."

"I'm going to tell him, I am. I just need time to process it. I'm not even 30 yet...or married..." She took a shaky breath. "I'll tell him, though. He has the right to know..." Rayna looked down and took a deep breath, trying to calm down.

Tandy sighed. "When? When are you going over there?"

Rayna shrugged. "I don't know, but I don't want to go alone. I don't know what he's going to be like. Will you come with me?" She looked up at her sister, pleading. "Please, I have no one else to go with."

Her older sister sighed, nodding her head slowly. "Of course, sweetie. Of course I'll go with you. And you know what else? I'll help you through this, okay? It'll be alright."

"Okay," Rayna said, "thanks."

"Come here." Tandy said and opened her arms, pulling Rayna into a hug. "It's all going to be okay. I promise it'll work out."
