Chapter twenty five

Start from the beginning
                                    

I decide against the eggs and go for a simple bagel instead before going over to Emily's house

"Hey, you're favourite babysitter has arrived" I grin, a fake one nonetheless, the last thing I need is for Emily to find I'm pregnant and get the whole 'why didn't you learn from my mistakes' speech - but it doesn't mean I'm not panicking and ready to cry any second

Over exaggeration? I think not

"Hey T" Emily grins "so Alex is picking me up at 2 and we should be back by 6"

I nod "that's alright, I might bring Oli out for awhile"

She nods and looks out the window "Alright Alex is here, I'll see you later and have fun"

"You too" 

I picked Oli up from his play pin "hey little man" I tap his nose and make him laugh "guess you're stuck with me for the day"

I put Oli down for his nap half an hour later so I decided to FaceTime Ryder because his location was at his place

"Yo" he says answering the FaceTime looking like he just woke up

"Yo" he says answering the FaceTime looking like he just woke up

"The girls just gone" he winks

"From your dreams maybe"

He laughs "whatever"

"You free today?" I ask and Ryder nods so I continue "can you meet me at 4"

"Yeah where?"

"Gracies" I gulp. Gracies is a cafe not far from here so me and Oli could walk

"Everything alright?" He asks obviously sensing my awkwardness

I nod with a smile smile "mhm"

"Alright see ya then"

"Bye" I say before hanging up

I didn't do much before we had to go meet Ryder. Once Oli got up I fed him and then he played with his toys but I couldn't help the feeling of nervousness that was running through me - Is this going to be my life? Am I actually going to have a baby?

No shit Sherlock, you're pregnant.

I put Oli into his pram and lock the front door on my way out. When we get to the cafe Ryder is sitting at one of the tables outside with two mugs on front of him

"Hey" I say as I sit down on front of him

"Hey" he says and the looks at Oli who is smiling up at him from his pram "hey little man"

"I got you a drink" he says directing his attention to the mug on front of me "coffee with a shot of tequila" he winks

"Thanks but you can have it" I say pushing it towards him

He gives me a confused look "Talia Ramsay not taking a chance for a drink?"

"I'm babysitting" I make up the excuse

"It's one shot you're not a light weight"

"It doesn't matter"

"No there's obviously more too i-"

"Ryder I'm pregnant" I snap without thinking and regret it straight away

His face drops "what?"

"Don't make me say it again"

"You're joking" he laughs probably hoping I'm joking "you don't look pregnant"

I shake my head "I'm not showing yet"

"But you're pregnant"

"Like five weeks pregnant"

He nods like he's finally accepted that I'm telling the truth "When did you find out?" He asks his voice quieter than usual. He avoided eye contact instead he just looked at his coffee

"Yesterday" I say in an almost whisper

He sighs "what are we gonna do?"

"I don't know" I softly say "but I have a doctors appointment tomorrow morning at 11 if you want to come"

He nods "Of course. I'll pick you up at 10:30 and drive"

"Thank you" I say and he gives me a confused look "for not running off like most people would have done"

He shakes his head "Neither of us planned this, we're both as hopeless as each other. I can't just blame you when I'm just as much to blame"

"On the other side, my mom is going to murder us"
