Hey sorry I left you guys hanging! My friend (you know who you are) has requested I post another chapter so BRAVO

Laura's POV

Me and Ross were snuggling on the couch while Rydel and Ellington were out at dinner with Kelly and her new boyfriend.

"Do you think the dinner is going okay?" I asked Ross.

He twirled a piece of my hair between his fingers as he thought, "Probably, I mean, c'mon, even if Kelly and her boyfriend are total jerks, Ry and Ell are too nice to start a fight, they are the most rational people I know,"

The garage door flung open. "I want to POUND her!" Rydel yelled angrily and walked up the stairs, Ellington following her, looking up happy

I looked up at Ross pointedly. "Yeah, sweetest people I've ever seen!" I said sarcastically and we climbed up the stairs after them.

"Guys?" Ross called into the hallway.

"We're in here," Rydel's soft voice called from her room. "Come in,"

We opened her door, to find her and Ellington sitting on her bed, Ellington's face in his hands, and Rydel rubbing his back.

"What the heck happened?" I asked sitting next to them.

They explained what had happened over the course of dinner.

"D-do you think it's yours?" Ross asked Ellington.

"I don't know, I mean, it could be Aaron's, she was seeing him behind my back for who knows how long," he said.

I sighed. "What are you going to do if it is yours?"

Rydel winced, and I knew she was wondering if Ellington would leave her.

Ellington must have known the same thing because he wrapped an arm around her. "I will never leave you Del, if it's mine or not," he reassured her.

She smiled sadly and cuddled into his shoulder. "You should probably text Kelly first thing tomorrow," I suggested.

Ellington nodded. "I'm willing to be a part of this baby's life, if she takes back what she said to me and Rydel!"

"What did she say?" Ross asked.

"Let's just say, dinner didn't go as nice as we planned it to go," Rydel said. "I'm sorry you have to go through on your birthday sweetie,"

A silence filled the room.

"Your birthday!" She exclaimed. "I'll be right back!" She ran out of the room and ran back in holding a pair of green drumsticks, and handed them to Ellington. "Happy Birthday!"

His sad glance turned into a huge smile as he ran his finger over the engraving in the wood. "Thank you so much babe! I'll always use these!"

She smiled wider. "Let's just forget about this Kelly thing for tonight, it's your birthday!"

He smiled and nodded and pulled her in for a sweet kiss, and me and Ross exchanged a knowing look and backed out of the room.

Ross and I ended up going back to my house and watching a movie, I kept staring at him. Ross's family doesn't know this, but Ross and I hadn't even kissed yet. I really wanted to, I mean millions of girls lust after him and I finally have him and I haven't been woman enough to even kiss him! I mean c'mon Laura! Make your move. I leaned over him and pressed my lips against his. He just sat there for a second before he realized what was happening and pushed me off of him. Wow, not surprising, he doesn't want to kiss you! My first kiss, a waste. I shrank down on the couch, embarrassed.

"Laura, no, I didn't mean it like that," He exclaimed. "I just didn't think you wanted to kiss me yet! I thought you wanted to take it slow!"

"I did, but , I just, I really love you Ross, and i just wanted to be able to do all the coupley things and i-"

He leaned in and kissed me.

"You talk to much Laura," He smiled. "I love you too, and I'm sorry I pushed you off. I love you Laura Marano,"

I smiled and pulled his face in for another kiss.

The next morning Rydel called,

"Hello?" I yawned into the phone.

"Kelly called."

"What did she say?"

"She apologized, and Ellington wants to help with the pregnancy,"

"Are you okay with that?" I asked.

"Ya know, surprisingly…I am." She told me, "Pregnancy makes you act crazy and I'm sure she wasn't thinking straight at dinner, I wanna help to."

"That's really nice of you Del," I said.

"Anything for Ellington," She said and I knew she was smiling.

Ross sat up and rubbed his eyes, "Who are you talking to?" he asked sleepily.

"Is that Ross?" Rydel asked. "Oh my gosh, he slept over! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!"

"Ugh! Yes, he did…but not like that!" I told her. Rydel giggled. "Goodbye Rydel,"

"Have fun you two!" She yelled really loud. "But not too much fun!"
