Kyle spits out his water dramatically in Sam's face.

"Kyle!" Sam exclaims, angrily.

"Sorry babe." He says sheepishly but then replaced his playful expression with a serious one and an accusing look towards Ryder and I.

He gives us a disappointed dad look and shakes his head.

I look at him like he just told me he's pregnant.

"I'm sorry, I thought you guys were broken up?" Hannah chimes in.

"What is she doing here, again?" Kyle rolls his eyes obnoxiously.

"She's my friend, Kyle. She should know." I say, glaring at him. "We are still broken up but—uh, we were both drunk. We weren't really aware of the situation..." I trail off.

"Are you keeping it?" Landon, who has been quiet the whole time speaks up and I nod.

"What about your new girlfriend?" James raises an eyebrow at Ryder accusingly.

"She's not my girlfriend." Ryder rolls his eyes.

"Right." James scoffs obviously unsatisfied at the fact his ship is sinking.

"So, does mom and dad know?" Kyle asks.

"Uh...no?" I say.

"Does your mom and dad know?" He asks Ryder and he shook his head.

"So, we're just going to keep our baby a secret from the old people?" Kyle asks.

"Our baby?" I raise an eyebrow.

He scoffs. "Yes, our baby. Who else's baby is it if not ours?"

I laughed and shook my head.

"Just to make sure, even though I already know the answer—who's the godmother?" She gives me a threatening look.

I glance at Ryder and he just shrugs.

"You, of course. We decided that when we were 8." I smile and she grins in satisfaction.

"Good." She nods.

"Ryder!" I yelled from my room.

"Yes?" He rushes to the door. "Do you need anything? Is the baby okay? Are you okay?"

I gave him a weird look.

"Yeah, I just wanted to discus the parents problem." I say.

He walks in my room and sits on my desk chair in front of me laying on the bed.

"What about it?" He asks.

"When should we tell them?" I ask.

"Do you want to do it now?" He asks.

"Over the phone?" I frown.
