Chapter 3
"Honey, let's not worry about that right now," Theresa said sweetly as she leaned in for a kiss. Ryan stopped her by putting his hand before her lips.
"No, enough with that!" Ryan replied angrily. "I demand to know what this is all about!" He pointed to the letter. Theresa stepped back.
"It was just a mistake sweetums. I meant to call Dr. James but-" Theresa was cut off.
"I know you're lying to me! You might as well tell me what's going on because I'm going to find out anyway!"
Theresa hesitated. "I-I-I-I just thought that if I got an abortion, life would be better for all of us. You could go back to Newport and I'll stay here. We can both finish school and have everything back to normal and to the way it was."
"We can do that, but the thought of....aborting a baby is so..it seems wrong," Ryan replied softly.
"Who's going to take care of the baby? We obviously can't 24/7 if we have this baby. We'll be too busy with school and everything if we want things to go back to normal," Theresa questioned.
"We could always put it up for adoption." Ryan suggested, sighing. He was begining to want this baby, but things with Theresa lately wasn't working too good. She always seemed to want everything from him. Mostly his love. Ryan didn't want to offer his love anymore. He wanted to offer his love to someone else.
"I guess," Theresa replied. "But I think it would be a good idea to get our mind off this, and do something else." Theresa got hold of his hand and pulled him towards the bedroom. "We could have a little fun." She got closer and closer to Ryan and put her lips to his. Ryan jerked back and put an end to Theresa's "fun."
"Theresa," Ryan started, pulling away and sitting on the bed. "I can't do this."
"Do what?" Theresa asked, acting confused.
Ryan searched for the right words to say. "I have Marissa back in Newport."
"Oh..." Theresa looked down. "So you're still going with her. But all we did..."
"I know. And I feel really bad. I can't keep going with you. I mean, I'll stay with you here to help with the baby, but we can't. We-we-we can't be a couple. We have to figure out what we're going to do with this baby."
"Okay." Theresa looked away, sad. "I understand." With that, she walked out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Ryan stayed behind and took a deep breath then sighed.
"It's going to be a very long day." Ryan thought.
back at the Cohen mansion...
Kirsten trailed up the stairs. On her way up, she met up with Seth.
"Seth," Kirsten said.
"Yes mumsy?" Seth replied.
"I need full details about this party at Summer's house if you want to go. And I mean FULL."
"Celebration," Seth corrected. "And yes mumsy, I'll get your 'full details' just as soon as I get more Captian Oats." Seth continued to walk down the stairs and quietly snuck into the laudry room, making sure that nobody was around. The coast was clear. He took out his cell phone and began to dial Summer's number. After 2 rings, she picked up.
"Cohen?" Summer asked.
"Yeah baby, it's me. Did you get all the stuff?"
"Yep, all set to go. But are you sure you know what you're doing?" Summer asked, uneasily.
"I'm sure. It'll only be a couple hours' drive. My mom and dad are going to let me go to this 'celebration' we made up after I make up some 'full' details. We'll leave Saturday, so be ready by then. I'll see you soon sweetums. Kisses."
"Mmmm, okay Sethy. See you soon." Summer giggled then made a smooching sound.
"Bye." Seth replied.
"Bye."
Ryan flopped down on the bed and closed his eyes. The day wasn't going so well for him. He could tell Theresa was upset. She barely said a word to him today. She left for work several hours earlier, while Ryan stayed home, flipping through job advertisements. He found several that he was interested in, such as, contstruction work, working at a resteraunt, and working as a cashier in a grocery store. He called each one of them up, but none of them were interested in Ryan's 'resume.' Ryan sighed deeply. He didn't know what to do anymore. He wanted to go back to Newport and live his life again, but he made a promise to himself to take care of this baby. Sometimes he wondered how things would be better if he never had sex with Theresa. He even had sex with Marissa once! It was all a mistake. He remembered all the things he learned back in middle school. Don't have sex until you're married and ready. Choose abstinence. Don't drink. Don't smoke. All that changed when his mom abandoned him and when he came to Newport. He made huge mistakes. Mistakes he couldn't take back. He wanted to call Marissa, Seth, and even Summer, to talk to them all. He wanted to visit Newport, or for them to visit him here in Chino. But school was still in session for them, and they would be busy. It was a gloomy, rainy Friday. Ryan was stuck at home with nothing to do. He'd call Seth as soon as school was done for him. He looked up at the clock. 1:45. His stomach started grumbling. He hadn't ate anything since yesterday's dinner. Ryan decided to go out and find a place to eat. He couldn't stand staying in this 'home' for too long; he needed a break.
"Dr. Schumer will be with you in just a second. Just sit tight," the nurse said. Marissa sat down on a cream colored chair. Marissa just told her mother, Julie, and stepdad, Caleb that she thought she was pregnant. Julie almost dropped dead on the floor, but instead decided to keep it cool and talked to Marissa in a nice manner. She even gave Marissa a hug to comfort her. This was a surprise to Marissa because she thought her mother would slap her right across her face. Caleb was a different story. He just stood there, stunned. Now that her parents knew the truth, Marissa didn't need Kirsten to aid her through the appointment. Marissa felt confident to drive herself. After several minutes of flipping through magazines and checking her voice mail, Dr. Schumer was ready to the anxious Marissa.
"Marissa Cooper?" Dr. Schumer stook her head out the door.
"Here!" Marissa stood up, grabbed her purse and followed her doctor. She was led to a quaint little room at the end of the hallway. She entered the room and was instructed to sit on the examining table.
"Why hello Marissa. How are you doing today?" Dr. Denise Schumer asked as she jotted some notes on her folder.
"I'm doing okay. Just nervous is all," Marissa replied softly.
"Oh that's alright honey. You'll be okay. Don't worry. Now, we got back your test results." Marissa sighed deeply, her heart pounding rapidly.
Dr. Schumer took a deep breath. "You aren't pregnant honey." Marissa let out a cheer of excitement, but little did she know, Dr. Schumer wasn't done speaking.
