Chapter 18

When Rian was back in her room, and everyone seemed miles away, her emotions rose up as she fell to her knees and tears streamed down her face. She felt overwhelmed, she didn't know what she was going to do and the one person she wanted to talk to she couldn't for two reasons: Winter was angrier than Rian had ever seen her and even if Winter was willing to talk to her, she couldn't exactly tell her everything or any of it really. She was left on her own, well Emmett would help her too, but at the moment she didn't want him. He seemed more upset than she was at the moment and she felt it was her job to calm him down. No, she wanted a friend; someone who wasn't in his family, someone who hadn't gone through what she was going through at the moment.

Quickly, the tears drenched her shirt and she forced herself to get up and put on her nightgown. She crawled into her bed knowing sleep would not come easy for her that night. She would cry and worry over her situation all night.

Rian knew because the pregnancy would progress fast, she'd have to make up her mind on what to do soon. Luckily they had caught it early, extremely early; if it had been a regular pregnancy she would be at least a week before her missed period.

But the girl wasn't sure how Emmett felt on this, did he want her to have an abortion? Could she go through with it if he wanted it? Does she want it?

Then the other option was to try to have the baby, to keep Emmett's child. She wasn't sure she was ready for that, to care for a child. That is if she even survived. Bella had a hard, very hard pregnancy. Then Rian realized she wasn't afraid of pain, or death even. And she wasn't afraid of Emmett or anyone in his family any more.

Her dilemma was between if she could go through with an abortion or if she was ready to be a mother.

Rian sighed and jumped out of her bed, she was not going to bed any time soon. She turned on the lights before she pushed play on her playlist. Whatever song first turned on, she lost herself in the music and danced around her room. She was attempting to burn some of the energy she had going to worrying, she wasn't going to reach a decision without Emmett there anyway.

Thursday; Day 4

When Rian woke up the next morning, her hand was draped over her flat stomach and she knew she couldn't go through with an abortion. The only answer was to keep it. She hoped Emmett wouldn't be upset, she'd have to approach the subject delicately, and it probably won't hurt to have a plan. And just like that, she began to piece together a portion of a … decent plan. She'd have to see what Emmett thought about it.

In the meantime, Rian grabbed a pair of pants and a baggy t-shirt before sending Emmett a text saying to pick her up for school that day. 'We need to talk.'

'Are you okay? Is something wrong?' Emmett's reply was announced by Rian's newest favorite song, "I think I'm losing my mind now": Don't Let Me Down by The Chainsmokers featuring Daya.

'I'm fine. We just need to talk about what to do.'

'K. Be there in 15 minutes.'

Rian rolled her eyes, but when she looked at the clock that said it was less than an hour before school started she jumped up to hurry and eat her breakfast. Of course her siblings were all ready and eating their breakfast in the kitchen by the time she made it downstairs. "Morning sleepyhead." Bryan said as he pointed towards the stove which had two fried eggs ready for her. It wasn't often that Rian overslept, but when she did Bryan always had to point it out, seeing as he is usually the one to oversleep.

Rian quickly eat her eggs and downed a glass of orange juice. The girl handed the keys to Bryan saying that Emmett was going to pick her up again this morning before she walked outside with her backpack in hand.

As she waited for Emmett (which in reality was only a few minutes), she began to become more and more nervous as each minute past. It felt like an eternity had passed before she finally saw his Jeep pull into the driveway and she felt she might pass out from her nerves.

With a deep breath, the girl climbed into the grey-silver jeep wrangler. As soon as the door was closed and she had her seat belt buckled, Emmett drove away from the house. The car ride to school was, in reality, short; but because of the tension and quietness in the car, the ride felt as if it took an hour.

Finally, Rian let out a breath she hadn't realized she held as Emmett put the car in park in a corner, secluded spot of the school's parking lot. "I- I still don't know what to do. I'm not sure how I felt about an abortion, but I am scared I might lose you if you continue with this." Emmett finally spoke to Rian without actually looking at her.

"I can't…" Rian choked on her emotions, she was afraid they would show in the rest of the sentence.

Emmett's face seemed to fall, taking in her response. Rian thought he was disappointed in her decision to keep the baby, her tears spilled over. She gripped her hands together as her anger and her own disappointment boiled over the top as well. She snatched up her bag angrily and prepared to open the door. "I'm sorry that I can't just get rid of it as easily as you can. I'm keeping it." Then she was out of the car, only to be faced with an equally angry Emmett Cullen. He's impulsive use of his vampire sped only farther angered Rian and she wanted nothing more than to slap the angry glare right off his face. She knew better than to do that though, she'd only end up hurting herself.

"Wait," he reached out to grab her arm, his expression instantly changing, becoming softer. "I didn't think…I misunderstood you." He didn't realize until that moment just how he felt on the subject, but he knew how he wanted to keep the baby as well.

"I just don't want to lose you."

"I don't want to die either, I just can't. I can't get an abortion, I want to keep the baby, Em. I'll try everything to keep my heart beating so we have more time, but now that this…now that I am pregnant, I can't just erase it and pretend like it never happened."

"You better, I will chase you down and drag you back here if you die." Emmett gave his trademark goofy smile and Rian couldn't help but laugh. "Now we have another problem, we still have two weeks of school left and even if you make it through that, how are we going to get you away from your family?"

Rian smiled brightly at Emmett, "I have a crazy plan." Emmett didn't like the sound of that.

"You can explain it to us during lunch." Emmett said as he opened the jeep's door one more time and grabbed his bag and a dark travel coffee mug that had a thick dark red straw in it and handed the cup to Rian. When Rian just looked at it as if it had two heads; he explained, "Carlisle stole some donor blood from a hospital, just in case we decided to keep it."

"Wait, you weren't kidding about the drinking blood thing while being pregnant?" Rian made a disgusted face, sticking her tongue out childishly, but grabbed the glass anyway.
