A/N: I finally have the urge to write again!!! I'm hoping everything sounds alright, everything I've written for this and the rest of my stories (because I have a couple chapters of a new one to post) sounds a bit off.

After the game, which the Indians lost 12 to 3, Ryan, John, Matt, Sean, and Leigh drove the short distance to Rob's house. They walked in and were greeted by Rob and Julia, who immedialtely dragged Ryan upstairs. Ryan pulled her arm out of Julia's grasp and laughed. "Jules, what is the issue?"
"We need to go to the store." Julia had a slightly panicked look in her eyes.
"OK, why?"
"Umm...we just need to."
"Julia, what is going on?"
She chewed on her lower lip before answering Ryan. "I think I'm pregnant." Ryan just stared, until Julia got fed up. "Well, say something?"
"I don't know what to say. I guess you want to get a test?"
Julia nodded. "Yes, but you have to get one too. I don't want to do it alone." They walked down the stairs and stopped in the kitchen, each grabbing their coats.
"I don't need one, though." John came up behind her and kissed her neck.
"Need what babe?"
"Oh, um...a vacation. She thinks we need an all girl vacation."
Julia grabbed Ryan's arm again and started for the door. "Yeah, but right now we need a mini vacation to go to the store. We'll be back." They left a perplexed John in the kitchen. Ryan couldn't help but giggle.
"Yeah, 'cause going to the store is stressful."
Julia's look became serious. "This time it is."
**********
Ryan and Julia were able to sneak back in the house, each hiding a paper bag beneath their jacket. They dropped them in the upstairs bathroom and joined everyone else back in the living room. Ryan plopped down on John's lap and started talking to Leigh. "So, Leigh, tell me about yourself."
The girl giggled loudly, and Ryan fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Well, what would you like to know?"
'That voice is going to drive me insane,' she thought to herself. "Well, are you still in school?"
"Yeah, I'm a junior at BU. What about you?"
Ryan shook her head. "No, I graduated three years ago from Springfield College. What's your major?"
"Fashion Merchandising. What was yours?"
"Marketing, though my job isn't really in that field."
Leigh's nose crinkled. "Oh, that's right. You do something with wrestling, don't you?"
Ryan tried not to look offended. "Yes, and I love it."
Leigh flipped her hair and sighed. "Wrestling is just so...dirty."
Ryan tensed a bit before replying. "How can you be with someone who is so into it then."
"Well, I'm hoping he'll get over this little phase."
Ryan gave her an incredulous look. "How can you say that?" Julia looked over and saw that Ryan was about to go off on Leigh, so she walked over.
"Ry, can you come upstairs, please?" She got off of John's lap and shot Leigh another look before following Julia. They went upstairs and sat on the bed in Julia and Rob's bedroom. "I think I'm ready."
"I still can't believe you're making me do it."
"Well, it makes me feel better." Ryan sighed and grabbed the box from Julia's outstretched hand and walked into the bathroom.
"Whatever." Ryan came out a few minutes later. "Your turn." Julia went in, then came out a couple minutes later.
"OK, they're both on the counter."
"You did keep them separate, right?"
"Um, yeah, I think so. Mine is on the left. Besides, if one of them is positive, we'll know, right?"
"Right." The way Ryan said that caused her to receive a doubtful look from Julia. "What?"
"Nothing, nothing." The next ten minutes were silent as they waited. As soon as the clock switched numbers, both girls jumped up like a shot. "Ry, can you check?"
"Sure." She walked in the bathroom and grabbed a stick. "Well, it must be yours."
"It is, isn't it?"
Ryan smiled and nodded. "Yeah. It's positive." A smile slowly blossomed across Julia's face.
"Wow." She walked in the bathroom to grab some kleenex, but what she saw on the counter stopped her in her tracks. "Ry?"
"Yeah?" Julia picked up the other test and showed her.
"You picked up your test, not mine."
"What?" Ryan grabbed the stick from her and looked. "Oh, God. I'm pregnant."
**********
Ryan and Julia walked slowly back downstairs, both still in a bit of a daze. Ryan sat next to John and grabbed his hand. He looked at her quizically. "Are you okay?"
She nodded. "Sort of. Can we go talk?"
"Of course." He stood and pulled her up next to him. They walked into the kitchen and sat down at the table, but Ryan stood and started pacing a moment later. "Ryan, what's going on?"
She sighed and started wringing her hands. "OK, you know that I love you, right?"
"Yes, and I love you."
"We're meant for each other." A statement, not a question.
John smiled. "No doubt in my mind."
Ryan took a deep breath. "You want to have a family with me, right?" John stood and hugged her.
"Baby, of course I do. Where is this going?"
"Well, Julia pulled me upstairs because she thought she was pregnant. So we went to the store to get a test, and it was positive."
John nodded, thinking he understood. "And that got you wondering about us?"
"Sort of. See, Julia wanted me to take a test too." An unreadable look passed across his face.
"And?"
"I'm pregnant."
