Start from the beginning
                                    

"Annnnd?" he asked, telling her to go on.

"Well, she the only one who hasn't been honest today.", she said. "She told me last night back in November she slept with Asher Shield."

Ryan arm slipped from around her shoulders and he leaned furrowed, "What? She did what with that asshole? And she had nerve to call me a cheating bastard?"

Lillian didn't know what she could say. She just sat there, letting him steam off. His face was tight with anger and he was breathing heavily. After a few moment, he sat back down and grumbled under his voice.

"I can't believe she was so angry at us when she did the same thing." he said, glaring at the back of his seat.

Lillian didn't know what to do or say, so she sat there awkwardly.

He ran his hand down his face and sighed, looking tired again, "Today has been such a crazy day."

"Yeah, I know.", Lillian said.

"So it looks like you wont be the only one going to have an awkward day at school Monday.", he said, placing his hand over hers. "Three more months we only have to deal with."

"Then what about next year?", she asked.

He shrugged, "We wont care and I'm sure something more shocking well happen by then."

She wrapped her arm around his arm and leaned her head down on his shoulder.

A few moments he turned his head to look at her and he turned to face her, "Lillian, please keep the baby. I don't think I could live my life without knowing who and where my child is."

She couldn't look up at his eyes, so she looked away, "I don't know, Ryan, it's so hard being a teen parent. What happens when it's not like how you imagine and you get tired of-"

"I wont, have more faith in me.", he said. "I was going to tell you when I was going to take you out to eat tomorrow but I have a job interview at a restaurant. It isn't much, I'll just be the host but next year when I turn eighteen I could become a server or find a better job.".

"It isn't just about the money, Ryan. I don't think I can wake up three times a night because of the crying?", she asked. "And your social life is going to be dead and what about soccer?".

"I'll find a way to hang out with my friends sometimes and knowing my mom, she'll want to have it all the time since she loves babies. And soccer well, I can give it up.", he said.

"But Ryan, you love soccer.", she said.

"I know, but I want to be there for you both more.", he said. "Soccer is just a hobbie, something I can do easily in my backyard. It wasn't like I was going to go big for it. I'll be the cop like I said I would.".

"What about me, then?", she asked. "I want to go to college after high school.".

"By then he'll be almost be two and we can find a babysitter. You'll go to college and we'll be fine.", he said. "I know it's not going to be some fancy job but when he get older, you can study it all then. You can still become a doctor or lawyer one day, Lillian. It's not like your giving up your dream, just putting it on hold for a few years.".

"Easier said then done."

"I know but it's not like we're the only one ever in the world that can make it through.", he said. "And maybe we take turns having him or her each night.".

"I don't want that though.", she said. "And that mean buying two cribs and bunch of other stuff and I know my parents enough to know they wont let you stay at our house.", she said, depressed now cause even if they did keep it, how would they be a family then if they live in different house?

"Then you'll come over to mine.", he said. "We'll talk to your parents and they'll have to understand you'll need the father help. My room is big enough for you and the baby.".

"Like I said before, easier said then done.".

"We at least have to try and talk to them.", he said. "What if they say yes?".

"My eyes would pop out of my head from shock.", she said, chuckling and he joined. "But can we tell them later? I've dealt with so much surprises in for a while?".

"Deal, but we will before the time comes.", he said. "And is that a yes?".

Lillian hesitated, wonder if he's right. Many other teen mom had finished high school some way or another. Even if it's in a public school or Cyber schooled, she can do it. And she has baby sited many times before. She isn't comparing them both really since they're both completely different, but she feels it in her heart she can and she wants to keep it.

She smiled, "Yes, we're keeping it. It's official now.".

"And we're official now.", he said cheesingly before cupping his face and kissed her.
