When I got home I noticed a note on the countertop in the kitchen. It said "I have to stay after today. Sorry sweetie, I'll be late. I love you! Mom" "Great," I thought, "now I have to talk to Ryder and his family about the baby." I am not looking forward to telling Ryder about the fact that I am pregnant with his baby. I only have known him for a little over three months. I am also very scared to think what Ryder would do to me or if he would support me. Ding Dong "Marley, it's me, Ryder. Can you open the door?" Oh no, I'm not ready. I can't do this now! He exclaimed, "Marley, open the door." As I opened the door I noticed that there were more people that appeared at the door. I knew that those people were Ryder's parents. Now I had to tell them that I was pregnant with their son's child. I promised myself that I would do everything in my power to protect my child even if that meant that I have to face his/her father's parents. So, here it goes.
"Hey, Marley! I just got your text and here is me and my parents. Did you need to tell me something?" Ryder said cheerfully not knowing what he was going to say. I replied back "I have to tell all of you something. Please do not be mad at Ryder." Then his mother said with concern, "Why would I be mad at my son?" As I started to tear up replied, "I'm pregnant." Nobody spoke for the next ten minutes. Then Ryder asked me how far along I was. I told him "I'm three months along." After I told them, Ryder's parents gave him an offer which was either that he would leave me and the baby and forget the entire thing or he would stay with me and the baby but he would get kicked out of his house. I felt awful after he chose to stay with me and the baby because his parents didn't support him through this. My mom wasn't mad at me after she found out that I was pregnant. In fact, she has been extremely supportive of me through this. I don't think I could ever do this without her help. But now I have to be the strong one not only for my baby, but for Ryder.
"I'm so sorry I didn't tell you sooner Ryder. I didn't know what to say. I'm so sorry that …" I said. "Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault that you got pregnant. Actually if it wasn't for my 'boys' there wouldn't be a baby in you." "Ewwwww," I replied, "that's gross! Now you are going to make me throw up all over you. And believe me; it's not pretty to see." After I said that I could tell he was starting to cheer up.
"So," Ryder asked me, "should I get a job. You know what I probably should. I'll ask Finn if I can get a job at his stepdad's tire shop. When is your first doctor's appointment? Is the baby a boy or a girl?" "Whoa, whoa, whoa," I said, "easy there tiger. First of all, I don't know if the baby is a boy or girl yet. I won't know until the fifth month mark. Also, my appointment is tomorrow after glee practice, if you want to come." Ryder replied, "Of course I want to come, that is my child that you are carrying and I am going to support you through it all during and after the pregnancy. I love you Marley!" "I love you to Ryder!" I replied. I can't believe that he told me that he loves me! I am also very happy that he is going to be with me throughout the pregnancy. I am really happy but now I have to tell my mom that Ryder is going to have to live with us.
"Hi honey I'm home. Oh Ryder, I'm surprised to see you here." my mom said. Ryder replied "It's nice to see you too Mrs. Rose!" "Marley," my mom replied, "does he know?" "Yeah," I replied "his parents kicked him out and he needs a place to stay. Can he stay here?" My mom replied, "Sure but Ryder, you already got my baby pregnant so don't do anything stupid." "I promise Mrs. Rose." Ryder said half laughing.
Once I got really tired I went to bed when Ryder joined me. I was almost asleep when I heard a voice talking to me. After a few minutes I realized that Ryder was talking to the baby. He was actually singing "You're the One That I Want" from the schools production of Grease to the baby. I was excited that he wanted this baby because I want it too. Once I fell asleep I dreamt of the family the I am creating with Ryder.
