Ch.5--- Finding Out ---
AN: Eddie never hit Theresa. He just left because Ryan came back to take care of the baby.
1 MONTH LATER
Ryan picked up the phone and dialed Seth's cell. It had been two months since he had talked to him and he really missed his brother. He had waited a month before trying to call and when he did he could never get a signal. Now after two rings he got the voicemail.
"H…ey…l..eave..a..mes…sage…at..Luk..es'"
It was very bad reception but he swore he just heard that he was at Luke's. That was in Portland. Well at least he wasn't in Tahiti. Just then he heard Theresa's car pull up and he walked to the door to meet her.
"Hey" he kissed her cheek "how was the thing at the doctors?"
Theresa looked at him, tears sitting in her eyes. "Come on let's go sit down"
Ryan followed her, fearing something was wrong with Theresa or the baby.
"What's wrong?" he asked worriedly.
"Ummm Ryan… I asked them to do a paternity test on the baby and…"
"But I thought that was harmful to the baby since its unborn" Ryan interrupted.
"Well it was only about 5 harmful so I took it"
"So you didn't bother to ask me?"
"Ryan it was my choice"
"Not entirely Theresa, because it's possibly me child too" Ryan yelled.
"No that's the thing, its not!" Theresa shouted back.
Everything went silent. Theresa realized what she'd said and stared wide-eyed at Ryan.
"What?" Ryan asked calmly.
"The baby isn't yours Ryan" Theresa said softly.
"It's Eddies…" Ryan said.
Theresa nodded slowly.
Ryan stormed past her and went to his room. He couldn't believe it. He had left everything behind and come here for nothing. He had lost Marissa, Summer, the Cohen's, and made Seth run away.
"When you first told me you were pregnant you said it was 90 sure it was mine."
"Well it's true it was more likely yours because of the time in my cycle, but… it was only 55 of yours"
"So you lied to me?" Ryan yelled.
"I'm sorry I…"
"You took me away from everything I'd ever loved and the one place I felt at home."
"Ryan I just wanted to be with you. I'd rather live and raise the baby with you. I thought we would just tell Eddie that it's yours and you can stay and we can be a family. You would be able to provide for us. I thought that's what you wanted too."
Ryan stared at her, speechless. How can any human be so selfish.
"Theresa how do you know I want that. I moved here so that if it was my baby I could do the right thing."
"You still can Ryan. Live here and we can be together."
"Theresa I don't want to live here. I don't want to live in Chino. I'm not ready for a baby. And I don't love you that way."
"Well then why'd you stick your dick in me? That's abandonment. If you hadn't we wouldn't be having this discussion"
"We are having this discussion because you said it was 90 mine!!" Ryan yelled "Theresa you disgust me" He took his duffle bag and started shoving clothes in it.
"Ryan where are you going?"
"Home"
"What about the baby?"
"That's yours and Eddies' problem now." And with that Ryan walked out of the house and headed for the bus stop. Once he got there he dug out his money and went to the ticket booth.
"Where to son?" the man asked.
"Portland"
AN: I'm on a roll with the typing so expect another shortly. Please R&R!
