Heyyyyyy! Everyone!

Thanks for the great reviews, hope you like this installment :P, and doesnt eveyrone hate septemebers? I know I do!

The playground was full of children, all 3 of them looked from the car and Ottilie had suddenly stopped talking, it also didn't help that there were a few photographers taking pictures of the car, Marissa instantly froze, worried that Ryan wouldn't let her take Ottilie in, she waited for him to complain, instead he just looked at her and shook her head before turning around to Ottilie.

"Are you ready baby?" He asked her, masking his disappointment, he could see Ottilie's bottom lip quiver and her eyebrows furrow, she reached over for her bag, looking for some comfort and stayed quiet.

"Come on Ottilie, you will have so much fun today, you get to do painting and drawing and look at the class rabbit and -" Ryan stopped speaking when he turned round and saw her chest rack with loud sobs. Marissa tried to turn around also and tried to help, although Ottilie did nothing but reach out for Ryan as she undid her seat belt. They both got out of the car, and Ryan moved the photographers away with his arm, and got his crying daughter out of the car while Marissa got her bag.

"MARISSA, MARISSA, THIS WAY PLEASE,"

"MARISSA A PICTURE WITH THE CHILD"

Both adults breathed a sigh of relief as they stepped behind the gates, and saw other parents, struggling to let go of their children as well. Marissa got out her own camera, and Ottilie looked kind of nervous as she posed for a photo at Ryan's leg, good job he got some earlier. Ottilie wiped the side of her face, and Ryan bent down to her level and dried her tears, this was new for Marissa, she hadn't seen him act so, un-Ryan like since Ottilie had been born, she remembers him walking around when Ottilie was crying and Marissa couldn't get her to stop, her therapist had said, that's when it had started, that's when she couldn't connect with the baby.

"Do I have to go in" Ottilie said hiccupping some tears as the other children started to form a line by the door, there was four other teachers, all smiling brightly but Ottilie wasn't buying it.

"Otty, you were so excited earlier, what happened?" Ryan asked her softly, she just put her small arms around her Dad's neck and gripped onto him with dear life.

"Ryan your being so harsh on her, she can be home schooled if she wants, come on sweetie, you can come with Mommy" Marissa stuck out her hand, angry at herself that she was forcing Ottilie to pick sides on this, making Ryan look like the bad guy.

"No Marissa" Ryan said with anger evident in his voice,

"Baby, you have to go into school" Ryan kissed her forehead. They noticed a lady about their age coming over to help the situation, Ryan smiled as she held out her hand to the adults.

"Hello, I am Mrs Ritchie, I will be your daughter's core teacher" She said politely, shaking both of their hands, Ryan smiled at Ottilie, hoping to ignite some hope.

"Hi, I'm Ryan Atwood, and this is Ottilie" Ryan said introducing his daughter, The teacher smiled down at her and then looked at Marissa expectantly.

"Hi, I'm--"

"Oh my god, Your Marissa Cooper!?" The teacher asked in awe, Marissa just nodded and stuck out her hand.

"I'm Ottilie's mother" Marissa said confidently, Ryan just rolling his eyes at her. The woman did a double take and then nodded slightly, obviously excited she had just got the scoop many magazines were willing to pay for.

"Come on Sweetie, The rest of the class is heading in now" Ryan said, trying to let loose some of her grip, more tears started to flow out of Ottilie's, she reluctantly let go of Ryan's hand and he bent down to kiss her once more. he pecked her cheek and after Marissa did the same, she collected her Chanel bag from to find some comfort, in the familiar accessory.

"We will both be here to be you up at 2:00, I promise, now be a good girl, I love you" Ryan said to her as she moved over to hug Marissa.

"Have the best day sweetie" Marissa said trying to cheer her up,

"Do, do, do you promise to be her afterwards?" Ottilie asked her sniffing, Marissa nodded yes whilst screaming mentally at herself, she was set to do an interview with E! News today and then the interview with US weekly and then the photo shoot with Ottilie, showing her new hand bag line and talking about her scandal, it was something she could not miss, yet she found it impossible to let her down, Ottilie nodded and she held the hand of the new lady and waved at them as she was being walked into class, crying all the way. Once all the children had gone in, and Ottilie was out of sight, Ryan moved away from Marissa and walked off without her.

"I wondered how long it was going to take you" Ryan said, as he moved towards the gate and the photographers started to take more pictures, Marissa hurried next to Ryan's side and immediately jumped in the front seat as the photographers shouted at Ryan as he walked to his side, when he slammed the door, Marissa then raised her voice as he started the car and tried not to run over and photographers

"What do you mean, I wondered how long it was going to take you" She argued back to him

"Well to break a promise, to my daughter" Ryan said smartly raising his eyebrows, while Marissa rolled her eyes

"OUR DAUGHTER RYAN, OURSSSS!! I GAVE BIRTH TO HER! YOU JUST HELPED" Marissa said getting angry at him and watching the LA scenery

"Marissa I hate to tell you , I have a girlfriend-"

"And don't you love to show it" Marissa said sarcastically but Ryan chose to ignore her and carry on

"Who is in touch with the celebrity culture, I know that you are working this afternoon, doing something for some news programme, she even watched them say it this morning on TV, how do you plan on being in two places at once, what are you superwoman" Ryan asked her as he continued to drive, there was a time where he and Marissa would be scared of confrontation, but now it seemed to be happening more and more.

"I have you know I will be there, I intend on taking Ottilie with me, I am going to take a break from shooting, it shouldn't take that long anyway, and then after I am taking her to MY photo shoot, its actually the first one since I have been public about her, and don't say you don't approve, because my lawyer said that he run it by you" She said putting her hands up in defence.

"So your just going to ask a television company to re-schedule?" Ryan asked disbelievingly, knowing that Marissa is trying to buy herself time, he watched her type furiously into her blackberry and then looked up to him smugly.

"Actually, My assistant is going to do it, so yes, I will be here to pick Ottilie up ,and yes she is coming to a photo shoot - at my house, happy are we?"

"I never agreed to her getting her pictures in the magazines Marissa, I don't really know how I feel about splashing my daughter around for the world to see, if you are going to be flashing her in the spot light, maybe we should have some rules," Ryan said as Marissa blinked several times, her vision become fuzzy and Ryan's voice become more distant, as Ryan looked over and he saw her eyes rolling back in his head, his old Marissa Cooper chivalry came out.

"Riss? Riss? MARISSA?!" Ryan pulled the car over just in time, Marissa quickly got out of the car in a hazy state and threw up on the side of the road, Ryan watched in confusion as she wretched and coughed, not really catching any attention of anyone in the back street. After a while Marissa walked back to the car and took deep breaths as she tried to calm herself down, Ryan just stood waiting for some answers. She shut her eyes and reached around in her bag for her water and some gum, the taste in her mouth making her want to be sick again.

"Ryan I need you to get me to the, the erm, the drug store" She said quietly shutting her eyes and rubbing her temples whilst leaning against the head rest as Ryan began to drive again.

"Marissa, I have an important job to get to, unlike some, people actually care if I don't turn up" Ryan said annoyed at her.

"Please Ryan, I need to get there and Jake has my car" Marissa said again, closing her eyes and taking deep breaths, as silent tears crept out.

"No Marissa, is it really that important, I have some important clients to get to, and If this is to get you some more I don't know, prescription drugs for some problem or whatever, it will have to --"

"RYAN! Please, I think I am, I might be," Marissa said stuttering and silent tears crept down her cheeks,

"What, making me late yes, that's exactly what your doing" Ryan didn't know why he was being like that, stubborn, he was never ever like that when they weren't together, but recently seeing Marissa wont go away and having to trust her so openly has made him put up those walls again, although sometimes he cant take his mind of her, and wishes they could both come to their senses.

"NO! RYAN, I THINK IM PREGNANT!!" She said her mood changing, and Ryan's jaw dropped as he stopped at a traffic light Marissa could tell he was thinking in his head, he turned towards a row of shops, neither of them saying a word to each other but both of them thinking the same thing,

There was a chance said 'Baby' was his.
