1.5 MONTHS LATER
Calleigh's belly wasn't showing yet, but her mood swings definitely were.
"God dammit, Ryan!" Ryan quickly ran down the stairs of their home and found Calleigh in the kitchen.
"What, what's wrong?" She just pointed to the sink. He looked and saw stacks and stacks of dishes, he knew where this was gonna go. "Shit." He whispered under his breath.
"This place needs to be spotless for tonight!" They were having the team over for dinner and to tell them they were expecting.
"Babe, i am so sorry, ill clean it right now." He rushed to the sink. Seven minuets later the dishes were cleaned and in the cabinets. "Okay, I'm done." He turned around ans saw Calleigh crying. "Babe? What's wrong?"
"Im sorry. I know i've been working you so hard and screaming at you all the time, im just, im so sorry, please don't hate me after this pregnancy."
He wrapped his arms around her. "Calleigh, baby, i could never hate you, and it's fine, I had to deal with all of this once before..." Hearing this Calleigh's eyes got wide.
"Ryan, what are you talking about."
"Oh my, god, I'm sorry, that wasn't supposed to come out..."
"Well it did, tell me, now."
"Cal, i don't wanna get into this right now, can't it wait until after dinner?"
"There isn't going to be a dinner unless you tell me."
"Okay. Sit down." They sat down on the couch. "Back when i was on patrol, i worked with this girl." Calleigh's eyes started to water, the sight was killing him. "One night, i asked her out to get a few drinks, we did and a few turned into a lot, we went back to my apartment, and a lot of feelings came out. She told me she loved me, and, i said it back to her..." Calleigh's head hung down now.
She looked up to him, "Did you mean it?" He looked into her eyes.
"Yes." Calleigh stood up wanting to leave, but he grabbed her wrist, "At the time i did, Calleigh. Would you just let me finish..."
"No, Ryan, i don't wanna hear how you knocked up some girl "you loved, at the time" and then "fell in love with me", and knocked me up, too!"
"Cal, it's not like that, just sit down and listen." His eyes made her sit back down.
"Yes, i loved her at the time, but not after what she did to me..."
FLASHBACK
"Hey, Ryan, can i talk to you for a second?"
"Sure, babe."
"OK, umm...well i don't really know how to say this, but, im pregnant." Ryan's heart stopped.
"Umm...OK. Are you sure it's..."
"Your's? Yes."
"Oh my, god, im gonna be a dad! I'm gonna be a dad! I love you!" He went to go hug her, but she had this icy glare on her face. "Babe, what's wrong?"
"Don't you dare call me babe, this is all your fault, i thought you wore a condom!"
"I did, i guess it didn't work, so, who cares were gonna be parents, why aren't you happy?"
"Ryan, that night was a mistake, im sorry, but i don't love you." His smile faltered at this.
All he sais was "Oh", and walked away.
9 MONTHS LATER
"Aww...he's so adorable, but looks nothing like his daddy." The nurse laughed looking at Ryan. He just laughed back.
"Hey, im gonna go to the bathroom." He went in to kiss her but she pulled back and gave him a funny look. "Whatever." And he whistled all the way to the bathroom. She used this time to fill out the baby's birth certificate.
Child's Name: Micheal Shillings
Mothers Name: Natalia Boa Vista
Father's Name: Steve Shillings
Now Ryan was back, she quickly set the paper down next to her. "My turn, can you hold him?"
"Yea." Ryan took the baby from her arms and she walked to the bathroom. "My son." Ryan said as he looked lovingly at "his son", and then he looked at the birth certificate.' What? Fathers Name: Steve Shillings? What the hell? Micheal Shillings? ' Ryan looked at the baby in his arm's. The nurse was right, he looked nothing like Ryan, but he did look like his former patrol partner: Mr. Shillings.
When Natalia got back all she found was her baby in the crib and a note saying: ' Do Not Ever Contact Me Again, I Want Nothing To Do With Either Of You.'
PRESENT
"Wow. Natalia, really?" Calleigh asked.
Ryan nodded, "Now you know why i never told you about it, im sorry, i was just so embarrassed."
"No, baby, im sorry. Come here." She hugged him. "I want this baby, Calleigh. I already lost one, i don't wanna loose another. Or another lover." He looked into her eyes.
She said, "You will always have both of us." She kissed him gently.
And then suddenly the door bell rang. Calleigh walked to the door, looked and saw who it was. She looked back at Ryan with pure rage in her eyes, he then knew it was Natalia at the door.
"Calleigh, calm down, don't do anything you'll regret." She nodded and opened the door.
Once everyone was there, they were all gathered around the table and almost done with there food. Ryan stood up, "Okay everyone, Calleigh and I have an announcement to make." And then Calleigh stood up. "Were pregnant." There were many ' oh my, gods', 'congrats' and 'our bullet girl is gonna be a mom'. But, there was one who was laughing, Natalia.
"Natalia, is there something funny?" Natalia was trying to stay calm.
"Yea. Ryan, you should check and make sure it's yours." And she burst out laughing. At that, Calleigh lost control and ran across the table...
