Chapter 14

It had only been a couple of hours since Ross and Rydel had been kicked out of their home. Ross and Ellington didn't know where Rydel went too because the last time they saw her was when they were pulling out of the drive way to leave, and she was on the phone to somebody so she must have found someone to stay with and pick her up. They don't know who though, all they can say is that they feel very sorry for that person who is going to have to put up with her for god knows how long.

Both Riker and Rocky had either texted or called Ross about an hour after their Dad had kicked him out. Nobody bothered with Rydel, at least not yet anyway. They were going to give her at least a day or so to cool off before they tried to talk to her because they still had R5 to worry about, and they had the strangest feeling that they wouldn't be able to continue the band because she'll quit. Of course they can still do the band without Rydel, keyboards not exactly important anyway, but the fans will start wondering why she quit, then rumours will start and knowing Rydel being in the mood she's in she'll gladly tell everybody why. And well, R5 will go downhill from there even more.

Ross and Ellington didn't go straight to Ellington's apartment after what happened, they decided to go somewhere for a bit to take Ross's mind off it because by the look on his face he looked like he was beating himself up about it. So they went down town for a little bit and got something to eat, even though Ross protested he wasn't hungry which meant Ellington had to force feed him because even if Ross wasn't hungry himself he still needed to eat every now and then for the baby.

Of course when Ellington was trying force feed him, nobody was paying attention to them, he had to have one arm across his chest which held Ross down on the seat and the other trying to put the food in his mouth, but when Ross felt the only way to get Ellington off was to bite him – which he did – almost everyone looked at them after Ellington screamed like a girl: "Ahh, you bitch!"

By the smile on Ross's face, he looked satisfied by himself.

He still has the marks on his finger. But you know, you care for the person who's carrying your baby and what happens? You get bitten.

After that they made their way back to the apartment. On the way back Ross got out of his five minutes of happiness and ended up looking all sad and depressed again, there wasn't exactly any point in trying to cheer him up because he's going to be like that for a long while after what happened today. But that wasn't going to stop Ell from trying too.

When they got back Ellington asked Ross where he wanted to sleep and he said he'd sleep on the couch, but then Ellington told him he can't sleep on the couch because it's uncomfortable and pregnant people shouldn't sleep on couch's, so he told Ross to sleep in his bed, but then Ross asked Ellington where he would sleep and he said the couch, which resulted in Ross asking him that he thought he said the couch was uncomfortable and after a little bit of arguing and snapping at each other about that they both came to the conclusion to just both sleep in Ellington's bed.

Ross would have slept in the spare room, but he doesn't have one. But he wasn't living here for long anyway, he had to find his own place to stay. He couldn't live here with Ellington forever, no matter how much he wanted too.

Right now the pair were both sat on the couch. Ross had his head laid in Ellington's lap staring up at the ceiling, Ellington looked down at Ross running his fingers through Ross's hair gently. He looked so sad. Ellington sighed "Cheer up Ross," Ellington said with a slightly frown "I hate seeing you like this..."

"Yeah, well, that's your own fault." Ross said, still staring at the ceiling. Ellington looked away from Ross frowning more at that. Ross sighed "I didn't mean that... it's just... hormones. I'd probably blame a kitten if there was one here."

Ellington laughed softly at Ross, and for the first time today Ross actually smiled a little bit looking up at Ellington "Yay! You smiled!" he said, being happy by that "now tell me, what are you thinking about?" he asked.

"Oh, you know. The usual. How my family hates me."

"Ross, they don't hate you—well... five out of six don't hate you," Ellington said, having to think about that for a moment.

"My Mom, Dad, Rydel... that's four out of six."

Ellington sighed heavily, now stroking Ross's cheek gently with his hand "Rydel, yes, she hates you, no doubt about it. But I reckon if you give her time she'll come round eventually and see how bad she acted. Whether if it's five years or so from now or tomorrow. Your Mom and Dad don't hate you though, that's where you're wrong."

"They kept this from me and didn't bother to tell me even when I could understand and my Dad threw me out... how is that not hate?"

"Ross, they didn't tell you because they were trying to protect you from worrying and panicking. Would it have been nice for them to have told you? Yes. And I'm sure they would have if you'd of gave them a little bit longer," Ellington said, trying to reassure him "I know that if I had a son and he was like you I'd try keep it from him to protect him until the day came where he was actually able to understand and be able to handle it."

Ross shrugged again, still looking up from Ell "Give it 4 months and we'll see."

Ellington nodded "Alright, yeah, we will. And the reason why your Dad threw you out..." Ellington trailed off, trying to think of a reason to try make Ross happier but nothing was coming to him. He shrugged "Rydel. She's still Daddy's little Princess no matter what she does, even after this he's still going to love her like he always has done so he's still going to go along with everything she says that comes from her mouth unless he knows differently. He had to do something to let her know he still loves her, and she said it's not fair if he only kicks her out as she isn't the main cause of this. So yeah... he's only trying to see it from both sides."

Ross sighed "I guess you're right..."

Ellington smiled in satisfaction "I know I am. Now," he said, bending down closer to Ross's face "stop beating yourself up about it."

He then pressed his lips softly against Ross's. Ross smiled a little when Ellington kissed him, he really did know how to comfort and make him happy. Now he's starting to wish that when he first found out he was pregnant he had told him, because back then he was in a state where all he wanted to do was kill himself over it and was really depressed to the point where he had the urge to cut himself. But when he went too, Rydel walked into the bathroom as he had the blade almost pressed against his wrist and she asked him what the hell he was doing before taking them away from him and hiding them before he could attempt it again.

Where did that Rydel go? He'd prefer it if that one came back.

Slowly they both pulled away from the kiss and smiled at each other. As Ross went to go say something, he felt a pain in his stomach and let out a small gasp. "Are you okay?" Ellington asked.

Ross nodded "Yeah. It was nothing, it was just—ow..." Ross quickly sat up, cradling his bump when he felt the pain again. This time it was sharper.

"Ross, what's wrong?" Ellington asked, panicking as he was in pain and holding onto the bump "is it the baby? What's wrong with it?"

Ross shook his head, trying to bare the pain until it finally went away and he sighed in relief "It was nothing... I think it was just a little bit of cramp, that's all... the nurse said I'd get that a lot."

Ellington raised his eye brows "Are you sure? Because I know what cramp feels like, it's not that painful and your face was screaming pain at me..." Ellington said, Ross nodded "Ross, you need to tell me if you feel like something's wrong and not hide it. Okay?" he asked, Ross nodded giving him a small smile "come here," Ellington said, opening up his arms and hugging him.

He let his hand fall from where he had it around Ross and down where he placed his hand on his bump "I know I'm getting really protective and annoying," Ellington said, making Ross look up at him "but... I just don't want either of you getting hurt by anything or anyone."

Ross smiled a little "I know the feeling," he said, placing his hand on top of Ell's "just... don't go overboard like Rocky and Riker."

Ellington scoffed "Ross, they're your brothers... they have a choice whether or not to be protective like that over you. You're carrying my baby, there's a big difference, I have to be that protective over you and if you think I'm not..." Ellington then grinned at him slightly, and let out a sigh patting his head "you've got another thing coming."

Ross sighed not bothering to add onto that, instead he just smiled and put his head in the crook of Ellington's head.

It was during the night, and both Ross and Ellington were fast asleep. That was until Ross woke up to the same sharp pain from earlier in his stomach. He looked at the time and saw it was 2 a.m. He sat up on the bed and began rubbing his stomach in the hope that the pain would go away like it did earlier, but it got to about 2:10 a.m. and all that seemed to be happening was that the pain was getting worse to the point where Ross was close to tears.

This wasn't right.

"Ellington," Ross said, through the pain and shaking him "wake up," he never answered "Ellington, wake up. Something's wrong."

Ellington groaned in his sleep and turned over, not waking up. Ross sighed as it didn't look like he was waking up. Slowly he threw the covers off him and got up out of the bed to go find his phone that was in the living room, because he stupidly left it in there instead of taking it to bed with him.

When he got into the living room he had to hold onto the wall as he thought he was going to collapse from the pain. He grabbed his phone from the table near the kitchen and leaned against the wall, dialling Riker's number. He let it ring a couple of times but there was no answer from him and he sighed. So he dialled Rocky's number next.

No answer.

"Oh, c'mon..." Ross said in desperation, being really close to crying. He couldn't take himself to the hospital.

Next he tried Laura and afterwards Ryland, and the same thing happened. No answer.

His last hope was Maia and he had to pray like hell she would answer because after that it was going to have to be Raini or Calum, and they had no clue about this. And if they didn't answer it would have to slowly progress onwards. He clicked the call button and started to hope she was going to answer.

Maia groaned, letting her eyes flutter open when she heard her phone vibrating on her bed side table. She sighed and stretched her arm over to it, looking to see who it was where she would click the reject button because what kind of fool would call her at this time during the night. As she went too, she saw Ross's number popping up which she thought was unusual. Why the hell would he be calling her?

She answered the phone, yawning "Ross?" Maia questioned.

"Maia," Ross said, relieved now with tears streaming down his face from the pain "Maia... you've gotta help me, something's wrong."

Maia started panicking and getting worried, sitting up in her bed quickly "Why? What do you mean something's wrong?" Maia asked.

Ross tried to speak but he couldn't from the pain "It's the baby."

"Oh Jesus Christ!" Maia jumped out of her bed, trying to find the nearest hoodie and pair of shoes she could find. There was no time for her to get changed properly "Why haven't you woken up Ellington?! Or called Rocky or Riker?!" She asked.

Ross took a deep breath "Ellington won't wake up and Riker and Rocky won't answer their phones. I tried Ryland and Laura too but they never answered—ow! Maia, please get here fast! There's a spare key under the mat outside the door."

"Alright, alright! Got it!" She said, running down the stairs and grabbing her car keys off the side "Oh, I'll stop off at your brothers house on the way there, and promise me... once I get there... Ellington will wake up," she grinned to herself evilly "give me like 15 minutes. Do you think you can hold on?" she asked.

Ross nodded "Yeah..." he said, sounding breathless.

"Alright good!" She said, jumping into her car "see you in a bit!" she hung up her phone and quickly threw it into her pocket. It looked like she was going to have to break the speed limit here, but it's like 2:15 a.m. and barely anybody will be around to get her into trouble.

Ross waited as Maia said. He waited for fifteen minutes and she wasn't here yet, and the pain had gotten to the point where Ross was pretty sure he was going to black out so he had to slide down the wall and sit on the floor. He could barely breathe it was that bad, he tried shouting Ellington a couple of times but nothing happened which was not helping his emotions.

He shut his eyes tightly, letting tears roll down his face, rubbing his bump when he heard very loud footsteps coming from outside down the hallway and voices too. He re-opened his eyes and looked over to the door where it was unlocked and Maia pushed it open, immediately running over to where Ross was sat on the floor followed with Rocky and Riker behind her who closed the door after her.

"Ross!" Maia said, kneeling down next to him "are you okay? Are you still in pain?" she asked, Ross nodded not being able to speak.

Riker knelt down on the other side of him, putting his hand on his shoulder whilst Rocky stood in front of him "Where's Ellington?" Riker asked "why didn't you wake him?"

Maia looked over to Riker "I told you on the way here! Ross tried to wake him! Did you try wake him again?" Maia asked, Ross nodded and she sighed.

Rocky rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen, they watched as he done so becoming immediately confused. But they heard the cupboard open, a tap run and then Rocky came out with a glass of water, walking towards Ellington's bedroom. "Wha—what are you doing?" Riker asked.

Rocky smirked "You'll see." he walked into the bedroom.

The three waited a couple of seconds before they heard Ellington shout and call Rocky an ass, along with something falling over, loud voices, someone being hit followed by another shout, and then footsteps coming towards the door.

The door swung open and Ellington came out, looking a little bit wet and the glass Rocky had in his hand was now empty, and he rushed over to Ross "Ross, are you alright? Why didn't you wake me?!" he asked, worried.

"I tried!" Ross roared. Shutting his eyes tightly again and whimpering in pain "It hurts so much."

"Is it coming?" Rocky asked, confused "if you're in that much pain then it must be on it's way... right?"

Maia shook her head "No! It can't be! It's waaaaaaaaay too early for a baby to be born! Six months, maybe, but not five! Something's seriously wrong if he's like this! Which makes me wonder what we are all doing sitting here and doing nothing but debate over it instead of getting help!" Maia said, starting to yell half way through the sentence.

Ellington wasted no time in quickly scooping Ross up off the floor bridal style "Well come on then! He's not exactly light any more!" Ellington said, through gritted teeth as he was only just managing to hold him.

Maia quickly got up off the floor and they all made their way to the door to get to the car outside as fast as they could.

*ducks from thrown objects* I have a feeling I'm gonna be doing that a lot throughout this story... a whole lot...
