Hahaha I'm a sucker for reviews…so thanks:p
Chapter 8—
'She's pregnant.'
Ryan looked up in to the ceiling then putting his head in his hands – his girlfriend was pregnant – his girlfriend WAS PREGNANT – his GIRLFRIEND WAS PREGNANT – HIS GIRLFRIEND WAS PREGNANT! – He was happy, Ryan Atwood was going to be a father: a daddy!
Until reality snapped back into Ryan.
'Oh my god! How's the baby?' Ryan asked concerned.
'I was wondering when you were going to ask that question.'
Now you say you're lonely
You cried the long night through
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Well…?'
'Nothing to worry about Mr Atwood – the part where Marissa was shot was absolutely no where near where the baby is, however if Marissa goes under any stress – Ryan, the baby's and Marissa's life could be put on danger; now is there anything or…anyone that could trigger stress.'
'Eh I'm not sure…but one for sure would be Trey – my…brother who…uh…shot Riss. But other than that no one would know where we are.'
'Why would no one know where you are – Ryan?'
'Because…Marissa and I we…uh…we ran away.'
'Why?'
He refused to answer the question Marissa wouldn't like it if he did – all the secrets that would be revealed.
She would hate it.
I cried a river over you
Now you say you're sorry
For being so untrue
Well, you can cry me a river
Cry me a river
'Well I have to say bad seed that well, it was good talking to you…but that does not change my opinion on your sister or Julie Cooper-Nichol.' Sophie laughed.
'Nobody could like Julie even if they tried.' Hailey laughed
'Well at least you are right on that one.'
'I heard your dad died.' Sophie smiled.
'Yes he did – thank god – why are you smiling?'
'Well nobody knows this but – one time 18 years ago: I had an affair with Caleb.'
'Oh my god.' Hailey laughed.
'Yeah I got pregnant as well…then Caleb told me to have the baby then he'd take it and give the baby to someone who actually wants it.'
'Wow.' Hailey laughed. 'Was it a boy or a girl?'
'Girl – called her Lindsay.'
'Hey Lindsay – my step sister – I've heard Kirsten mention her before.'
'Well she's not mine so she's not my problem – I have to say Hailey you're taking this really well.'
'Yeah well I learned loads of my dad's tricks so now I know what I'm in for so I got used to it and I don't have a problem with it anymore because: A problem of my dad's is NOT my problem.'
'Smart words – you were raised right – Julie Cooper-Nichol on the other hand – was not.'
'Too true.'
Cry me a river
I cried a river over you
You drove me,
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
---
'Ryan where are you from?' the doctor asked.
'Orange County.'
'That's a nice neighbourhood – but you didn't answer my question earlier why did you run away?'
'…I'm going…like I told you earlier…I'm not gonna!' Ryan got up and walked away.
'Ryan – Ryan please come back! Ryan!'
But he was gone.
I remember all that you said
Told me love was to plebeian
Told me you were through with me
Now you say you love me
Well, just to prove you do
Cry me a river
Cry me a river
I cried over you
'Hey Marissa how are you.' Ryan asked an unconscious Marissa. 'Come on baby wake up – wake up – please fucking god wake up! Wake up!
Ryan cried.
'All right – all right I'm awake; for gods sake Atwood it's not that emotional.' Marissa laughed.
'Oh my god Riss you're awake! I've got to get a doctor!'
'No Ryan not just now please – I have to tell you something.'
'Your pregnant.'
'How the hell-.' Marissa asked 'Hailey?'
'How does Hailey know?'
'I – I uh told her after I found out.' Marissa whispered.
'Well when DID you find out!'
'Ryan I only knew for half an hour! It's not breaking the law – and I wanted to tell Hailey because - because.'
'Because what Marissa!'
'Because she's a girl Ryan – I want to talk to a girl – I miss Summer and Taylor and Kirsten and hell – I miss my fucking mother! And when the hell have I missed her?'
'Marissa – I'm sorry I didn't know – if you want to go home.'
'No Ryan I don't want to go home just now – just give me some time – I'm happy here I love New York.' Marissa laughed.
'So were good?'
'Oh yeah definitely.'
Ryan leaned down to kiss Marissa on the forehead but got pulled into a more passionate kiss.
You drove me
Nearly drove me out of my head
While you never shed a tear
Remember?
--
Ryan awoke with 2 doctors and Hailey staring down at him.
He realised where he was.
He was lying in Marissa's bed with his arm around her waist.
Marissa still sleeping unaware of the world.
'Hey Ryan.' Hailey laughed.
'Hello Mr Atwood.' The doctors smiled.
'Yeah whatever – hi.' Ryan yawed
Marissa awakened.
She also yawned – she looked at Ryan's innocent face and then looked at the doctors.
'What's going on?' she asked
'Well Miss Cooper –we are her to give you your results.'
'Okay…'
The second doctor spoke. 'Well Marissa it seems that you are doing fine – your surgery went great but it seems that you have a badly sprained wrist – it seems that you were leaning on it quite a bit – and you also burst 2 blood vessels so that means that you might be tasting blood in your mouth for about 2 days – and apart from that nothing that won't heal in a few days.'
'And the baby?' Hailey asked.
'The baby is fine – we can't do anything just now because we are not trained to do check-up's but we can schedule an appointment for you just now.'
'Yes that would be great thanks.' Marissa smiled
The doctors walked out leaving Ryan, Marissa and Hailey alone.
'Okay you guys I'm sorry to ruin your moment…but I seen Sophie Cohen – you know: Sandy's mom.' Hailey said.
'You seen her?' Marissa asked.
'I talked to her – she lives in your building.'
'Hey – Hailey's drunk.' Ryan laughed.
'What again! That's like the second time this week!' Marissa laughed.
'Well I guess only time will tell.' Hailey sighed.
I remember all that you said
Told me love was too plebeian
Told me you were through with me...
And now you say you love me
Well, just to prove that you do...
Come on!
Come on!
Cry me a river...
Cry me a river...
I cried a river over you
I cried a river over you...
