The Fate of Life.

Theresa rushed into the hospital as panicked as her mother.

"I'm in labor." She shouted at the woman at the desk.

"Sign out these." She pushed a clipboard of papers into the pregnant woman's face.

"Mom." Theresa said hurried. "You fill these out and I'll go with her."

"Okay."

Theresa was brought into a hospital where she would be checked out.

"Ryan. Please."

"What?"

"Let me have one drink. Please."

"No." Ryan should his ground. Marissa was at the point of the no-drinking process where you desire a drink.

"Come on. One teensy tiny drink." Marissa held her hand up with her fingers inches apart.

"Marissa. Remember. No drinking or drugs."

"What if I go and leave and go to one of Holly's parties."

"Not likely since last week she was busted with Coke."

Marissa's face scrunched up.

"Oh."

"Yes."

Marissa scooted towards Ryan and give him a big kiss. In return, he rolled over her and cased her under him.

"I love this." She signed.

"Love what?"

"After begging for something to drink you still what to kiss me." Ryan only smiled.

They started making out.

"Hey Ryan you should. . . ." Sandy walked in.

"I really should learn to knock. Sorry Ryan. Marissa." He said embarrassed.

"Sandy." Ryan removed his hand from under her shirt and his face was red with embarrassment.

"I came here to tell you that Theresa's mother just called and Theresa's in the hospital. She's in labor They got there five minutes ago and she wanted to call you before she filled out the hospital forms."

"She's only 6 or 7 months along." Ryan got off of Marissa and off the bed and got his jacket.

"I'm coming too." Marissa said, getting up.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Ryan started to say.

"Ryan just let her." Sandy said.

"Fine. Can I take your car?"

"Of course."

"Let's go."
