A little Surprise
Chapter 3, Telling Marissa...
A/N: I have not updated in so long. I haven't been into writing much lately, I don't know why, but I have decided to keep up with my stories as best I can. I really respond well to reviews, but I don't NEED them to write, but some helpful criticism as how to make the story better, or just simply telling me what you think about it is always good for me.
Ryan and Seth headed back to the house. Ryan hadn't really said much the whole ride home, Seth kept rambling on, but Ryan didn't realltly pay attention. So much was going on in his mind. His SON with Theresa, that he never knew about it. His biggest concern was of course how Marissa was going to take it. He would like to think she would take it well, but he didn't know if it was going to turn out that way.
As they pulled into the driveway, they realized Marissa's car was gone. When they entered the house, both Marissa and Summer were gone. Most likely out shopping or something like that. Ryan wanted to call her, and tell her to come home right now, but he of course didn't. He didn't want to alarm her, and he knew telling her was going to be very hard. He just wanted more then anything for everything to be okay.
He should have expected something to come up like this. His life was going to perfect, of course something had to come and fuck everything up.
Seth spoke, "Man, I'm really sorry about all this, but I am sure Marissa will understand. You just need to explain everything."
"Seth, I can barley even handle this, and its my fault. I have no idea how she is going to be able to handle this. It's just such, bad timing."
"Yeah. Well you two will need a lot of time to talk, so how about I take Summer out to dinner, so you guys can be a lone for this."
"Thanks Seth."
Seth usually tried to make people feel better, but he knew his rambling and corny jokes weren't going to help Ryan, if anything they would just annoy him, so he decided to call Summer, sure enough, they had gone out shopping, and he asked her to go to dinner, she liked the sound of that, seeing as she was starved. He then got in the shower quickly, and got dressed. While he was getting dressed, Summer and Marissa both got home. Summer told Seth she was ready, which surprised him. Usually Summer need to change and do all that stuff. But hey, he wasn't complaining.
Marissa went in and kissed Ryan. He kissed her back, and thought to himself, "this is going to be really hard."
Once they parted, Ryan looked at her and said, "We need to talk."
Marissa seemed a little alarmed, scared, "Alright, about what."
"Sit down, we'll talk."
"Okay," She said, still having no idea what this could be about.
"This isn't easy for me to say at all. I never thought I would have to," He paused for a minute.
"Ryan...I swear if you're breaking up with me...you can't! I am having your baby..."
Ryan kissed her in the head, "Marissa, I'm not breaking up with you, just listen, please."
"Seth and I went to go get some coffee this morning. While there, we ran into Theresa. It has been years since I've talked to her, let a lone see her. She tried to rush right off, then she had this little boy with her, and he interrupted. So she had him go sit and eat his breakfast, while her and I sat down and talked. Seth had gone outside to take a phone call. This is important, do you remember when me and you broke up?"
"Yeah, like back junior year for a little bit, because of Oliver or something. It was for like a week or something..., look Ryan I am not getting it? So you ran into Theresa, what's the big deal? Is she coming over for dinner or something?"
Being reminded it had only been that short of a time, made it that much harder.
"Well while you and I were apart, even though it was a short amount of time, Theresa and I slept together, and that little boy she had with her, well he is mine."
Marissa felt totally shocked, "What and you're just telling me this now?"
"Marissa I didn't know until today, I hadn't talked to her since the end of junior year, she left, and that is why. I have no secretes from you. If I had known I would have told you, which is why I am telling you now, as soon as I, myself found out."
Marissa looked a little shocked, he went to grab her hand and she instead pulled away.
"I don't feel like talking about it right now Ryan, I'm gonna go take a nap, just leave me alone."
She walked away, and Ryan sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. He felt terrible, but what could he do? He supposed she just needed time.
Ryan just sat on the couch and tried to keep himself together, and give her the space she needed.
Meanwhile, Marissa buried herself under the covers and cried. She wasn't mad at Ryan, she was just upset in general. Just, they were apart for like a week, and she thought she had meant more to him then that. But then again, it wasn't like had just met Theresa, they had known each other, and probably both made a bad decision. Right now, she just didn't want to talk about, she needed some time.
A/N: I am all ready working on the next chapter. I know naturally, Marissa would be a little upset, which I am trying to show here a little bit, however if you remember last season, she wasn't that mad when he found out Ryan had gotten her pregnant, she wasn't really all that mad at him. Well I should have the next chapter up very soon. Probaly tomorrow. I know this is short, but it was just a start.
