Chapter 5

*Talia's POV*

{FLASHBACK/ NIGHTMARE}

I looked down at my phone and smiled.

From: Connor

Hey, hurry up! I'm waiting.. Dinner is getting cold :) X

Just as I was about to reply I noticed a burly man start to walk my way. He slapped my iPhone out of my hand and backed me into an allyway.

****

I opened my eyes from that awful nightmare that I lived only 3 months ago and I've relived so many times in my head. I just let the tears fall. I tried to hold in the sobs, but one slipped. And because Connor is such a light sleeper, he heard. He put his arms around my waist and nuzzled his head into the back of my neck.

"Was it about...?" Connor trailed off. He didn't have to finish his sentence.

"Yes," I squeaked. I paused for a few minutes, "Tomorrow is Wednesday," I said reminding him.

"Actually, my dear, today is Wednesday," he corrected me pointing to the clock as it read 3:36am.

"What time does Rickle Pickle get in?"

"I think at 10:30ish. Do you want to come with me to pick him up?" Connor played with a lock of my brown wavy hair.

"Um, sure. Wait I can't. I have a doctors appointment." I frowned.

"I'm coming with you. What time?"

"Um, I think its at 10." I smiled. "Why do you want to go?"

"Because obviously this kid is going to need a father!" He said as if it were the most obvious thing ever.

"I think I get to find out if its a girl or a boy." (A/N I'm not a doctor so I don't know how far along you have to be able to find out the gender.)

"Then I have to go!!" He exclaimed.

"What about Ricky? I don't think we will be done in time," I sighed.

"He'll get a cab. He will understand," Conner smiled.

"Okay. Good night, Connabon!" I rolled over and kissed his cheek.

"Good night, Peaches," he snuggled up to me.

I was so happy that we were finally getting over this. We were healing. It was great.

{LATER}

*Connor's POV*

"Hurry up! We are going to be late!" I grumbled at Talia.

"Chill your tits, man. It's only 9:17. We've got plenty of time," she smiled and I noticed her eyes were beginning to consume life again.

"Well, I'm just super excited! I can't wait to find out if its a boy or a girl!!" I squealed like a little girl.

"Did you talk to Ricky and let him know what was going on?" She asked laughing at my excitement.

"Yes, he understood. I told him we would leave a key in the plant outside of our door," I smiled and opened the door for her, locking it behind us and tossing the key in the plant.

She covered the key up with soil and smiled, "Great. I can't wait to see him!!"

"Me neither," I laughed. "What are we going to tell him?"

"The truth," she replied bluntly, "he's one of our best friends. I can't and won't lie to him."

I smiled, "You're such an amazing person."

"I know," she leaned into my side and I put my arm around her.

*Talia's POV*

I walked out of the back of the little doctor's office hand in hand with Connor. He was smiling from ear to ear. Then I spotted Ricky in the lobby.

"RICKY!" I shouted out of excitement, "What are you doing here?"

"I couldn't wait to find out if I am going to have a niece or nephew!" He embraced me in a hug, then he hugged Connor. "So?" He raised a brow.

Connor and I looked at each other. "It's a boy!" We said in unison. All three of us probably looked like complete idiots jumping around in a circle.

As we exited the building, Ricky said, "So, names. I was thinking something like Ricky Jr."

I laughed. "I was thinking more like Colton or Chris," I looked at Connor for ideas.

"What about Mason?" He looked at me unsurely.

"That sounds perfect!!" I kissed him on the cheek and leaned into his perfect body. I tossed the car keys to Ricky. Connor and I got into the backseat. I rested my head on his chest as we rode along.

"Don't fall asleep on me, Missy. We have lots of catching up to do!" Ricky said looking at me through the rear view mirror.

"Wouldn't dream of it, Rickypoo," I laughed into Connor's chest.

"How about an early lunch?" Connor suggested looking down at me.

"Great, I'm starving," Ricky said in his ghetto girl accent. I'll I could do is laugh.
