Chapter 1: The First Guy

Reaching as far as she could, she tried to drag down a big pink binder from the shelf.

"Here, dear, let me get that for you. No need to try more then necessary shorty!" came an amused voice from behind her and a pale hand reached above her head.

"Besides, the doctor said to not stress yourself out. Its not good for the baby remember? We both know you don't want anything to go wrong"

"Not like you really care Ryan! You were the one who suggested I get rid of it because your not ready to be a father!!! You cannot go around and blame everyone but yourself when you did have a part in making her or him !"

" Oh hun , you know I was shocked and upset when you told me the news! You know I'd do anything for you. At least you should….." Ryan turned away as if in grief but what Alexia didn't know was he had a huge smug look on his face. She did know he loved to guilt trip her however and this time she wasn't taking it!

" Anything?" she asked sweetly.

"Of course anything! Why what did you have in mind darling baby girl?"

O him and his damn nicknames that he has probably used on all of his girlfriends! Whatever am I going to do? This baby will need him and though he frustrates me I still love him!!….I think

Ryan stood there, waiting patiently, wondering what the hell was going through his sweethearts mind. He knew he'd hurt her that day she'd come walking up to him with the little stick in her hand crying. He'd lashed out. Told her get rid of it, he wasn't ready to be a father. As if he thought she was ready to be a mother! He knew how much she wanted a baby and to get married but they had just graduated for Christ sake! As soon as he'd suggested abortion he had received a very sound, hard, stinging slap across his face.

" I will never kill a child that has been conceived inside of me you asshole!!!!!!!!" she'd screeched raising her hand again. To stop her from hitting him again he suggested adoption, open adoption even. He'd forgotten she'd went through it herself though that was how he had met her. Slap! she'd hit him again for thinking he would have her put their child through what she'd been through. He wished he knew what she was thinking now and hoped it was good.

"Marry me."

"What?!?"

"I said marry me Ryan. Prove to me that you love me and will take care of me and more importantly our baby. If you can't or won't then get the hell out of here!"

"But Alexia…."

"I knew it….get out of my room!"

In a daze he walked out and didn't look back. He knew if he did she would be crying again and that was one thing he could not stand was her upset.

Where the hell did that come from? Marry her? Oh I would love to but her family will never allow it!

************************************************************************

Back in her room Alexia was doing just the opposite of what Ryan thought. Instead she was on the phone with one of her bestest friends from high school.

" He seriously said that to you? Omg! I am so going to kill him!!! Is he even still there?"

"Oh calm down Faith! And yes he probably still is"

"Omg! You know what? Get rid of him!"

"What? Why?"

"He's put you through to much pain as it is and now he won't marry you or accept his responsibility! It'll be better without him!"

"Alright but you know I still love him….I think. "

"I know you need me. I'll be there in 20 minutes."

"Thanks hun you know I love you!"

"I know…whatever would you do without me?"

"Die a very sad death…"

"Oh you are so over dramatic!!! See you in a few."
