Dylan
"Ok guys, we're going to the doctor!" I hug my friends. "See y'all later!" Ryder and I get in Bri's car. Today we find out the gender of the baby, but Bri wants to do a gender reveal for us, so only she's gonna know and plan a little thing.
I'm scared for what she has planned.
"Ok sweetie, your baby is happy and healthy," the doctor tells me and I laugh with relief. "Would you like to know the gender?"
"Actually," Bri cuts in. "That's for me to know. Gender reveal thing I wanted to plan. Can you tell just me please?" The doctor writes something down discreetly and hands it to Bri.
Her eyes almost betray her.
"Have a wonderful day and I'll see you at the next appointment!"
We walk back to the car and I can tell there's a million ideas running through her head.
"So when will this thing be ready?" Ryder asks. He and I are both dying to know.
"By later today. I have everything already, I just need to set it up. You two can stay inside the house and discuss baby names!" She squeals.
We walk into the house and go to the room for the baby
"Tomorrow, we could start getting stuff for this room," I suggest and Ryder punches the air.
"Yes finally," he breathes and I laugh. We sit on the floor and I pull out my phone.
"I think it's funny that Brianna wants to surprise us with the gender because then we can surprise them with the name," I smile.
"We picked good ass names," Ryder thumps his chest proudly. "These are fire."
For a girl, we chose Kiara Rose Caldwell. I've always loved the name Kiara, and Ryder's mom's name is Rose. It worked out perfectly.
For a boy, we chose Nicolas Giovanni Caldwell. I wanted both names to have some element of Italian. Technically, my last name should be Sorelli. But I like the sound of Dylan Caldwell better.
"What is taking Bri so long?" I whine. "I want to know if I'm gonna have Kia or Nico!"
"Relax princess," Ryder laughs. "We'll know soon." We continue talking about how to decorate this room, since it's a big smaller than my room. I've decided I don't want to use a bottle, since...yeah the natural way.
Wow this is really weird to be thinking about.
Babies are stressful
Oh shit no no no.
You're 18. You had an abusive upbringing and abusive previous relationship. You don't have what it takes to care of a child
I can do this I have my family and I have Ryder
He doesn't want the baby
W-what
He's pretending! Are you blind?
"Baby," Ryder pulls me into him. "Why you crying?"
I shake my head. "I can't raise a kid. Am I insane? I'm 18, I don't have a real job, we're in a fucking gang, and-WOAH THAT WAS A BIG KICK!" I put a hand on my stomach.
"Baby, I'm gonna be here for you." He brushes my hair away from my face. "Do I want a family with you? Yes, of course. Was I expecting to start it at 18? No, not at all. But life happens. And I'm so happy that we're having a kid, my love." He kisses me.
"God," I laugh. "I'm a mess." He laughs and helps me stand up. Then Bri comes in the room.
"Dylan you good?" I nod. "Put these outfits on and come to the backyard." She throws white clothes at us and we quickly change. Then, with Ryder's hand in mine, we walk to the back.
"How the fuck?" I gasp. "Brianna Lawless, you are fucking magical." She guides us to stand somewhere and Maddy starts recording, as do all my brothers.
"Okay guys," Bri squeals. "Are you ready for the reveal?" Ryder and I nod excitedly and he wraps an arm around me. "3! 2! 1!" My dad yanks a cord.
2 gallons of pink paint get dumped on us. My jaw drops.
"WE'RE HAVING A BABY GIRL!" Ryder shouts. He picks me up and spins me around, laughing and we're both crying.
"K-Kiara Rose Caldwell," I laugh. "I can't wait to meet you babygirl." Ryder buried his face in my neck and I feel him kissing my neck over and over.
"Wait what's her name?" My mom asks and we turn to her.
"In 5 months," I grin. "You will meet Miss Kiara Rose Caldwell." We get bulldozed with hugs and loud shouts.
"Okay, loving the enthusiasm," Ryder pulls us away. "But can my pregnant girlfriend and I go clean the pink paint off of us?" Everyone immediately moves aside for us and we run upstairs into my bathroom.
"I knew it would be a girl," I smile at myself. "I knew it."
"Those seven suckers owe you, me, Bri, Danny, Dante, and Jake fifty bucks," Ryder smirks as he turns the hot water on. "Leave the shower on I'll shower after you princess."
He goes to leave and I grab his arm. "Stay," I smile at him. "I want you with me." He grins happily and takes his shirt/pants off. I laugh and take the dress off that Bri made me wear. Then we step into the shower and thank God my mom wanted to install two shower heads in all the bathrooms.
I start washing my hair and I start singing softly.
"The day we met. Frozen, I held my breath. Right from the start, I knew that I'd found a home for my heart. Beats fast. Colours and promises. How to be brave. How can I love when I'm afraid to fall? But watching you stand alone. All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow."
I finish rinsing my shampoo and grab my conditioner.
"One step closer," I look at Ryder when he sings with me. "I have died every day waiting for you. Darling don't be afraid, I have loved you for a thousand years. I'll love you for a thousand more."
He leans down so I can put face wash on him and his hands find my hips. I smack his left hand.
"No messing around Ry," I tell him. "The last time we did, I ended up having to carry your baby for nine months." He sighs and lets me wash the soap away. Then I rinse my hair out as he dries off and gets his pajamas.
"Here I got yours for you princess," he hands me mine and I laugh.
"Matching? Really?" I smirk. "You are so clingy my goodness."
"You are too!"
"I never said I wasn't! I know I am!"
"Good!"
"Good!"
"Can we do face masks please?"
I giggle and he sits on the counter. "I love that you do these with me Ry."
Kiara Rose Caldwell...
lowkey wish her last name was gonna be Harper but oh well
