Secrets

Chapter 4

Piper's POV

"Can you get my credit card from my purse?" Riley asked. I nodded. I was helping her with some paperwork in the office, as we waited for A troupe to arrive at rehearsal. So far only myself, Richelle, Noah, and Jake had arrived. I opened Riley's purse, pulling her wallet out and retrieving the card. Riley smiled a thank you, and I went to put the wallet away, but hesitated, seeing the white stick. I reached in her purse to grab it, and turned it over in my hands. A positive pregnancy test. Oh my god! Riley's pregnant!
"Why didn't you tell us?!" I squealed, gaining her attention, along with a confused look. Her eyes fell to the test in my hand, before she realized what I meant. I squealed again, before running out of the office, Riley calling my name. "Richelle! How dare you not tell me!" I said, pretending to be offended. Richelle and I were pretty much best friends, we told each other everything.
"What?" Richelle asked confused.
"Riley's pregnant!" I exclaimed. I could hear Riley's heels walking towards me quickly, but ignored that as I watched Richelle's facial expression change.
"Why didn't you tell me?" She asked, looking around me to Riley.
"You're what?!" A voice behind Riley questioned. I saw Riley's eyes widen, and only then realized she hadn't told anyone yet. Oops. "Ri you're pregnant!" Alfie said happily, running towards her and lifting her off the ground. He spun her around in his arms, before placing her back on her feet again. Then, he leaned in and kissed her hard for a minute, before pulling away again. "This is amazing!" He exclaimed, kneeling down to kiss her flat stomach.
"My office." Riley said to Alfie, walking past him.

Riley's POV

Alfie entered the office and I closed the door. "Riley, why didn't you tell me? This explains so much." Alfie said. "You must be almost 6 weeks, were you planning to go to the doctors yourself? Because I want to come." He rambled. I sighed. "No wonder you've been so tired lately, and I understand why you don't want to have sex now. This is incredible." He continued. He kept rambling on and on, and I got to the point where I thought my head would explode.
"Alfie!" I snapped, getting his focus on me. "You're giving me a migraine."
"Sorry." He replied sheepishly.
"Listen, we'll talk at home, but please, I have to get work done, and you're gonna be late." I told him. He nodded.
"Alright. Love you two." He smiled, walking out of the office. I exhaled, watching him leave. Now what?

Noah's POV

"I guess we should run through the lift again." I said once Riley and Alfie had entered the office. Richelle nodded, rolling her eyes, as Jake sat to watch. This duet with Richelle was going horribly. First of all, we've been working on this simple lift for a total of 8 hours now, and having no trust in each other is setting us behind, second, Jake refuses to let us practice unless he's watching, and Richelle won't say anything against it, and third, we have no chemistry. Why did I have to talk yesterday?
"5,6,7,8." Richelle counted before she ran towards me. I grabbed her waist and lifted her as she kicked her leg up, but she was too soon, or I was too slow. I got kicked in the face, stumbled back and dropped her, and she landed hard on the ground.
"Ritchie!" Jake yelled, running towards her.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." She told him. I'm not. I thought, holding my nose. From the corner of my eye, I could see Riley looking at us from her office, shaking her head disapprovingly. Great.
