4Ever & a Day : The Next Generation of R5

Yet Another Secret

Ryssa

Tears streamed down my face as I sat on my bed with Liam. We both just sat there staring at the bathroom door, afraid to go look at what was inside on the counter. I had just left it there and walked away from it. We had been so careful. There had only been two times we hadn't used protection. The day in the shower before Riot's wedding and night of Liam's birthday in Paris.

Liam squeezed my hand and got up. I watched him walk into the bathroom. A few seconds later he walked out with the test in his hand and grim look on his face. He didn't have to tell me what it said. I already knew by the look on his face. He sat the test down on the night stand and sat beside me pulling me into his arms. I sobbed into his chest. My dad was going to be so disappointed in me and he was going to kill Liam.

"I am so dead. Riker's going to shoot me. Does he own a gun?" Liam asked.

"Not that I know of," I answered.

"I am so scared to tell him this," Liam confessed.

"Me too," I said.

"Can we keep it to ourselves?" Liam asked.

"Probably not for long. It had to have happened on your birthday," I thought out loud.

"I think we should get married. It might make it easier to tell Riker. And I was going to propose at Christmas anyway. I was going to ask him if I could and everything," Liam said as he pulled away and looked at me.

Was he serious? As I looked at him there was no question in my mind he was serious. I didn't know what to say. I always thought if he did propose it would be in a few years. We were so young and I never saw myself being someone's wife or mother for that matter at such a young age. I mean I love Liam with all my heart and I know we will always be together. But was telling my dad all of this so soon after Riot's announcement such a good idea?

"You mean like elope?" I asked.

"Yeah I can't tell him this without him knowing I'm taking care of you and our kid," Liam said. "I mean I'm on the payroll and you already stay at my place a lot. So why not move in?"

"Okay when?"

"Tomorrow," he answered.

"Okay we're really gonna do this?" I asked.

"Yep by tomorrow afternoon you'll be a Jonas," he said.

Montague (3 days later)

I was over at Riker's house for dinner and I was bored. I had asked if I could bring my new sidekick Tatianna with me. I had just gotten my first cell phone for my birthday and I was itching to use it for some spying. It was just there in the pocket of my jeans and I had to find some dirt.

Tatianna and I snuck off and went to Ryssa's room. I knew she wasn't home because she was out with Liam or at his apartment. Riker had mentioned how much time she had been spending over there to Ross. The room was neat and clean, too clean. She was hiding something. These teenagers were always hiding stuff from the adults. I guess though technically she wasn't really a teenager anymore.

"Monte, come in here," Tatianna said from the bathroom.

I went into the bathroom and saw what she was pointing at in the trash. There staring up at us was a pregnancy test, a positive pregnancy test. Ryssa was pregnant! This was too good not to be documented. I took out my cell phone and snapped a picture. Riker would be livid!

We came out of the bathroom and continued searching the room. I opened the drawer in the nightstand by her bed and went through it. There were some condoms, which she obviously wasn't using. A few pens, some paper and a book that looked like a journal. I picked up the journal and a piece of paper fell out of it onto the floor. I picked it up and stared at it.

This was too good to be true. It was a marriage license dated three days ago. I snapped a picture of it too with my phone. I loved this new phone. It meant I didn't need Chapin anymore but that's okay I didn't really like her anyway. She was kind of annoying. I did all the work and I just used her for her cell phone. I loved the fact I didn't need her now. Tatianna on the other hand was proving to be an excellent sidekick.

I carefully put everything back in the drawer the way I found it and shut it. My work here was done. We needed to get out of this room before we got caught in it by someone. We were about to leave when I heard Ryssa's voice as she was coming up the stairs. I panicked for a minute. I grabbed Tatianna's hand and we dove under the bed.

The bed creaked as she sat on it. Then I realized she wasn't alone as I saw someone else's feet. They were a man's feet so they had to belong to Liam. Oh please let them just be talking, I thought to myself. I didn't want to be stuck under this bed and hear anything else. Thankfully on the tour bus Chapin and I had just caught them making out, and we had found what Riker did.

"We have to tell them Liam," Ryssa said.

"I'm afraid of your dad. Can we just keep it to ourselves a little bit longer?" Liam asked.

"For how much longer? We won't be able to hide it too long," Ryssa spoke.

"I know I'm just not ready to share the news. Your parents won't snoop in your room will they?"

"No."

No but I will and I did!
