Live Your Dream-----(COMPLETED)

Chapter 21

I woke up and saw Ross sleeping. He had this cute little smile on his face. I just stared at him. "Why are you watching me?" He asked. I jumped. His eyes were still closed. "How did you know?" I kissed his lips and his eyes shot open. I pulled away. "You know that feeling when you feel someone watching you?" I nodded.

"Ross, we have to tell your family." I sadly shook my head. "Why?" He asked. "Really Ross! I'm pregnant! Its eventually going to show." I practically screamed. Ross almost was in tears. I felt bad. "Riker told me yesterday that if I got you pregnant he would kill you. And the babies." He sadly cried. He rubbed my stomach. It felt good. It soothed the babies. "Amanda. One of them are kicking." He grabbed my hand and put it on my stomach. I felt one of the babies kick. I smiled. Ross began to cry tears of joy. I wiped a tear off his face. He smiled. I kissed him, leaving our hands on my stomach.

We climbed out of bed, got dressed and headed downstairs. I saw Riker give Ross a warning look. Ross grabbed my hand. I could tell he was nervous.

We ate Stormie's amazing pancakes. Then, Ross and I decided it was time to tell everyone. "We h-have s-something to say." Ross stammered. I saw sweat drip from his forehead. I wiped it off.

"We're having twins." It came out like water flowing in a river. The room became completely quiet. Riker broke the quiet. "I think I speak for all of us when I say, congratulations." He smiled.

I was shocked. Riker was actually supporting us? I looked at Ross who seemed as shocked as I was. His jaw hung open.

"Can I speak to you in private Amanda?" Riker asked me as he winked at Rydel and Emily. "Yeah."
I nervously got up and followed Riker outside. It was a bit chilly but I ignored it.

I was looking at Stormie's beautiful garden. Next thing I knew, I felt a horrible pain in my stomach. Riker punched my stomach as Emily and Rydel kicked my face and back. I laid in the solid concrete, cold and helpless.

After about 10 minutes of tortuous beating, they finally quit. I could see tears rolling down Rydel's face. "Delly, you hurt me. And my babies." I cried. "I'm so sorry." she just left me there. All alone. I was hoping someone would come outside soon.

I put my hand in my stomach. I didn't feel anything moving. Nothing. Not a thing. I thought that I could trust Rydel. I guess I was wrong.
