Thanks for the tres nice reviews :)
I'm still in shock that people like my writing, hope you like the new chapter!
Also, I think there should be more Ryan and Marissa stories in the world!
Marissa sighed as she changed the channel for what like the hundredth time, Ottilie was with Seth and Summer for the evening, Ryan was out getting Thai food, and all she had to do was wait. But the nervous and excitable fluttering that came whenever she was alone with Ryan, made her patience run thin, all she wanted was for him to come home. She sighed and looked at the clock it had only been about 15 minutes since Ryan left, and he told her he could be ¾'s of an hour.
She was never a patient girl. She looked at her phone, and noticed that she had missed some calls and noticed the date. It was Sunday night, and in two days, she would be opening the LA fashion show for Victoria's Secret, to kick-start LA fashion week. She knew tomorrow would be all make up tests, and last minute fittings, but she had agreed weeks ago she would do it, and she couldn't back out now. It would look even worse if she backed out now, as well as she wanted to start doing normal things with Ottilie, she wanted to wake her up, and make her packed lunch and take her to school, and then she kind of wanted to get some things from Jake's house, not wanting to wear Ryan's clothes for a 2nd day. She picked up her phone and dialled a familiar number, and awaited the dial tone.
"Hello"
"Um, hi Jake, its me" Marissa said nervously, now scared of him and his raging temper.
"What do you want?" He asked his ex fiancé grumpily.
"Well, I was wondering whether I could come and pack my things tomorrow" Marissa asked him, hoping he would say yes.
"So that's it then?"
"What's it?"
"You finally dumping me, to piss off with your baby daddy" Jake commented snidely.
"Jake, we didn't work together, surely you knew--"
"No Marissa, what I knew is that I had to put my face out there, you think I wanted to marry you, everyone knows you were damaged goods, I was only with you because-"
"Jake say what you want, but we both know that I wasn't happy in that relationship"
"I really don't care if you were happy, because I did what I needed to do to further my career, thing is, I just wished I had chosen someone who was at least a decent lay"
"Don't be at the house tomorrow morning"
"Don't be there when I get back" Jake countered
"Bye Jake"
" Marissa one more thing--" She paused waiting for him to continue,
"Your last child may of lived but I hope you have a miscarriage" Marissa let a tear fall and threw her phone against the wall, she buried her head in her hands, and waited in silence, awaiting Ryan to come home.
When Ryan his dark apartment, he squinted through the light.
"Marissa?" He spoke out as he searched round to find his girlfriend asleep on the side of the sofa, her head resting in her arms. He walked over and smiled to her sleeping form, he lightly grabbed the blanket and put it over her body, and moved a hair out of her face. She stirred at his movements and her eyelids fluttered opening,
"I must of fallen asleep" Marissa told him her voice scratchy with tiredness. Ryan shook his head, and she moved her feet so he could sit down with her, as if reading her mind, Ryan bought his arms around her body and pulled her towards him.
"What time is it?" Marissa asked Ryan whilst trying to conceal a yawn.
"Just gone half eight, are you still hungry" Marissa shook her head on Ryan's shoulder, and then immediately sat up her body gone rigid.
"Are you ok?" He asked her curiously, her nostrils flared and her face contorted as she got a whiff of the Thai take out Ryan had placed on the table opposite her, she opened her mouth but quickly shook her head and sprang off of the sofa and ran for the bathroom, leaving Ryan in confusion, he heard the bathroom door slam and Marissa gagging and retching in the toilets. He quickly followed her steps to the bathroom and knocked tentatively on the door.
"Marissa?" He tried to decipher any words over the loud sounds of Marissa being sick. He opened the door to see her draped over the toilet bowl, taking deep breaths. He moved to sit next to her, and held her hair as she once again throw up.
"Hey, come on, its alright" He tried to say encouraging things as he rubbed her back in smooth circles, he heard small whimpers and she reached up to a towel to dry her lips.
"Don't look at me Ryan," Marissa told him looking away from him, his brow furrowed in confusion, and she faced away from him.
"Marissa what's this about"
"I look so ugly about now," She told him sadly, he remembered when Marissa was pregnant with Ottilie how moody she would become straight after she got sick.
"Marissa, you couldn't look ugly if you tried and wished for it, you know how beautiful you are" Ryan told her sweetly,
"Shut up I look like ass!" She snapped and said taking more deep breaths, feeling herself about to be sick again.
"Summer! We nicely came over her for you to cook us breakfast but your going to bail and go back to bed! I'm offended" Seth feigned shock. Summer turned around on the stairs
"Coop morning sickness, I said I would hold her hair, you know where the eggs are baby!"
Summer began running up the stairs again and was followed by Ryan,
"It's alright Summer I'll go." Summer thanked him and went back downstairs to Seth while Ryan went in Marissa's bedroom.
"Riss? Are you in there?" He lightly tapped her adjoining bathroom door, He heard the toilet flushing and Marissa shuffling around.
"Ryan?" She opened the door and you could see the evident bump in her nightdress, he smiled when he saw her stomach, he had been really happy about everything so far, well almost.
"Don't look at me I look like vomit!" Ryan smiled at her as she turned around sheltering her face.
"You couldn't't look anything less"
"You always know what to say," she said as she went back into her wardrobe to pick out her clothes
"Marissa what's wrong you were fine a minute ago" Ryan questioned her, it was so odd, she usually loved Thai food, the mere smell of it never used to make her sick.
"Just leave me alone Ryan!!" After silence for a minute he started to piece things together in his mind, she was being sick, mood swings, and she was quite emotional, he had lived with pregnant Marissa before, he thought he knew the signs.
Telling himself not to panic, she told him to her face the other day that she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't lie to him, would she? His train of thought was interrupted by Marissa being sick again, he then resumed to taking her hair and rubbing her back. They sat in silence apart from the odd wretch from Marissa. A while later, Marissa decided she was finished and stood up to splash cold water on her face and washed her mouth out with mouth wash, Ryan awkwardly motioned that he would wait for her outside and she nodded her head in understanding.
Ryan sat down in quiet, he didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed, was she or wasn't she? why didn't she tell him, is it his, would she want to be around for this one, how long does she want to stay around for anyway? Marissa stepped out of the bathroom, and come to sit next to him.
"Are you alright?" Marissa asked him nervously, her mood how now swung in the opposite direction, and she was feeling happy once again.
"Yeah, how are you feeling?" Ryan asked her compassionately,
"I'm fine now, Sorry about all that"
"What do you think made you sick?" Ryan asked her suspiciously, Marissa looked back at him, wondering if it was the right time to tell the truth, also wondering what his reaction would be like.
"I'm not sure" Marissa lied, she shifted and looked down at the floor.
"Oh" Ryan said quietly, Marissa thought about the two of them, right here right now felt like a good enough time to tell him, there relationship was definitely new, but it wasn't like they hadn't been together before, and they both knew how much they meant to each other without saying it.
"Ryan, I have something to tell you" She said as she moved closer to him and he turned to face her.
"Look, I had no intention of this happening alright, and I just want you to know that it is completely your choice if you don't want anything to do with me" Ryan shook his head and held her hand, which gave Marissa a lot more confidence.
"Never, after everything we have been through Marissa, I never want to let you go again, nothing you could say can make me go away Marissa smiled at him.
"Hold that thought, I don't know how to say this at all, you think with us I would have had enough practise but" She smiled out a tear.
"I'm pregnant" She held her breath and waited for his reaction, after what felt like the longest time in her life, a huge grin broke out on Ryan's face
"Your pregnant?" He questioned her again, she nodded and smiled happily.
"We're having a baby" She cried as he held her close, whispering into her ear, this was definitely how she expected to tell him, with Ottilie it was a screaming match, but this time it was filled with love and happiness .
"I love you" Ryan told her in the silent room.
"Thank you" Marissa croaked out before turning to meet his lips. This time she knew things would be perfect.
