Ryders PoV
My alarm blaring wakes me up at 9 the next morning. I don't have to pick Tal up until half ten but I needed time by myself to let the news sink in.

I decided to go for a run since I had time to spare. "Trust you to get a girl pregnant" I mutter to myself "I mean if it's going to be anyone, Tal is best"

I shake my head, I talk to myself now? I don't think so. I know this isn't the norm and I'm probably supposed to be spiralling right now but there's nothing we can do to change it so why dwell over it

I showered when I got home and since the weather isn't too bad I decided on wearing some red Adidas sports shorts that almost reached my knee with the typical three white stripes and a tight white three-quarter length sleeve tshirt

I left my house a little bit earlier than I planned - I say my house because I recently moved out of my evil mothers house, so I didn't have to deal with her "my house, my rules" bullshit. It's a medium sized, two story house with an open space downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. It came furnished with the bare minimum but I didn't need a lot so I was happy with it

I stopped at Gracies on the way and picked up two coffees along with a blueberry and chocolate muffin

Healthy, I know

I pulled up outside Talia's house and text her I was outside. She walked out and locked the door behind her.

"Hey" She quietly says as she gets into the car

"Yo, how are you feeling?"

"Like shit"

"You look it too" I joke pulling out of her driveway

"Ryder!"

I laugh "what? Just because your pregnant doesn't mean you're going to be wrapped in bubble wrap around me"

She rolls her eyes playfully and after a few minutes speaks up again "What are we going to tell people?"

"We don't have to. Not if you don't want to"

"I'm going to have to leave my job. A baby bump in my uniform is a tell tale give away"

"I have a job" I say "and savings, we can do it" before adding as an after thought "that's if you want to keep it"

"Do you?" She turns to me

I sigh, giving her a quick glance "it's not going to be easy but it's our baby and I couldn't give it up"

"Me either" she smiles

Once we got to the hospital everything went pretty fast. Talia was lying on the bed her barely there bump on show - I say barely there what I really mean is no bump while I sit beside her

"Hey" a middle aged woman walks in holding a chart "I'm Dr. Greggs and I'll be continuing the rest of your pregnancy with you. It's Talia right?"  Talia nods "So it's your first pregnancy right?"
