Allie:
Six weeks:
(A/N: these next two chapters is going to have a lot of time jumps.)

I've been meaning to Ryke this for the last six weeks, but the death of Nico, ruined a lot of people. I mean a lot. Everyone on the ranch. Aspen, had to drag Ryder out of the week to make sure he would not always sulk. But slowly everyone is getting ready to move on.

But I'm already showing, and he deserves to know, he'll start knowing soon. But I shouldn't keep it a secret and telling them I'm gaining weight. Ryke walks in with a smile on his face telling me everything at the ranch went ok and I don't see the tear stains on his face. Meaning he hasn't cried today.

I smiled and he walked over to me, he laid down on the bed and Rosa and Nina went to their beds next to us. He kissed my lips. "I've got to tell you something. I wanted to wait a little while because of what happened." He nodded for me to tell him.

I let out a sigh as I went into the bathroom and I gestured for him to wait on the bed and he did as I walked into the bathroom. I brought out the box that I was hiding the surprise inside and headed back into the bedroom.

I gave him the box. I held my breath. "I don't know if we should tell anyone as they're still in a bad place. But like... I was going to keep it a secret for a little longer. But the little longer you'll find out on your own. But I want to be the reason and the one telling you, and not you who find out on your own." I was rambling.

He places the box on the bed and he pulled me onto the bed. "What are you nervous about Love?" He asks me in a whisper. So calming I could fall asleep to it. "Just open the box!" He laughs and he sits up.

"Just know whatever it is, I'll love it." Tears start to swell in my eyes. As he opened the box. I leaned against him hiding my face away from his. So, I couldn't see his reaction.

I feel him shaking and I look up at him, he's crying. I moved onto his lap and he held me there tight. "God, Allie. Don't feel bad on saying this to anyone." He held me so tight. It was a giant bear hug and I cried on his shoulder.

"How long?" He asks me and I let out a sigh. "I found out ten minutes before you texted me. I pretended to go work. And me and Evie went to find out." I told him, I admitted to him that I lied about where I was going.

"I'm sorry about that, but I was actually meant to be in, my rota says I was in that day but we asked Tucker and he asked Kayleigh and Jasper to take over for the shift." He nods.

"It's fine." He whispers. I felt a tear hit my shoulder and lifted up to see his face. "We're having a baby?!" He says as he spun us around with happiness. This is the first time I've seen him like this is six weeks. I wrap my arms around his neck and kissed his lips.

"We are."

I lay there on the bed, my stomach has grown a lot more, I lay there knowing I'm all alone for the couple of hours if something started to happen. Ryke always leaves his phone when he's on the ranch to make sure he doesn't loose it. Ryder is helping him out and he does the same.

Aspen and her children gone to her dads which is two hours away for two nights. Ryan and his girlfriend left for a week to Spain. And I'm all alone. I know Ryke is in the ranch somewhere and I would be able to find him if needed.

The door swings open and Ryke comes in and he jumps into bed as he saw how uncomfortable I was as our kid keeps kicking me for no reason. I closed my eyes as I leaned against him. "Not long now Allie. Only two more months." I nodded. Two months left of being pregnant. I don't want it to end but I also do so I can meet our little girl.

~~

Later that year I leaned against Ryke as the doctor brought our daughter over to us. I looked up at him to see the smile on his lips. Our daughter is in our arms. Wren Mallory Kingston.

Mallory, was Ryke's mother. I never knew the story behind his mother before he told me of what happened to her.

"'Mallory.' I remember my father said as my mother held his hand. She stared at me, Ryder, Ryle and Rylee and my father as she took her final breaths on the same bed that my father and his new girlfriend was sleeping in right now." Tears formed into his eyes as he told me the story as he watched his mother died when he was only fifteen."

"She took her final breaths, whispering 'I love you' to everyone in the room. God, it was the worst pain ever seeing your mother die right in front of you."

I held him tight the entire time he told me that story, it made it hard because of the bump, but I made it work. And I never let him go. I suggested it to be her first name. But he refused knowing it would hurt even more.  He agreed on having it as her middle name and it took us months to name her first name and we came up with Wren.

We heard a woman say her name was Wren and we loved it straight away so we had her name as Wren Mallory Kingston.

A loud cry escapes my lips as I held my daughter in my arms.  The nine months, have been the best and worse for the both of us. As I drove Ryke mad, but he loved every single part of it. And I loved it as I made him panic the entire nine months and the part of having a baby growing inside of me. I looked down at her to see she's exactly like Ryke. A mini version of him. "She looks so much like you." I told him and he smiles. "Would you like to hold her?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"I'm scared I'll drop her." I sat up properly placing the baby in his arms. "If you hold her properly and hold her head she won't drop." He smiles before holding her as I told him and he smiled looking down at her. A tear line formed in his eyes as he watched her. She started to cry in his arms and I laughed before he started to panic.

"Oh my fucking god I'm hurting her." I scowled at him for swearing in front of her and he just stares at her. "Just rock her back and forth." He does and she stopped crying and I laughed. Knowing he panicked for absolute no reason.

"She's perfect." He whispers and I smiled and nodded in agreement. "Thank you... thank you allie." Tears swell up in my eyes as I stare up at him. "If it wasn't for you, I would be probably sitting in jail. If I wasn't you I won't be starting for to have a family." I smiled as I looked up at him and he placed the baby back onto my chest as I watch him stand up and go into his pocket. What are you-

I stopped questioning as he started to get onto one knee. I slap my hand over my mouth. "Allie, you are the light in the room, the dream I've always wanted and the woman of my dreams. When I saw you on that field with the parade I know I had to take up on your offer to the house for a coffee to help me out with getting to know you more and to help Nina out.
So, would you make me the happiest man alive Allie and marry me?"

"Yes!" I screamed in Happiness and I wrapped an arm around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. "God! Yes! A thousand times yes'!" He smiles against my lips.

"I love you Ryke."
"I love you too Love."
