Lassoed With you (complete)

10

I had told Dad I was taking Rip with me into town. After getting his okay I went and told Rip to come with me and we headed into town to a clinic.

"what are we doing here?" he asked

" well you don't want kids with me yet you never wear protection and I haven't been on birth control so I'm gonna put myself on it" I say

he says nothing just climbed out of the truck with me. I signed myself in filled out all the forms and waited with Rip.

"do you hate me?" he asked

"no. just wished you'd came to me and not talked about our personal business or things that involve the two of us with the bunkhouse" I replied

When they called me back they doctor asked some questions.

"you've been going unprotected for a while now?" she asked

"yes ma'am" I say

"ok, I'm gonna run a pregnancy test before I start you on any birthcontrol" she says

I looked at Rip before I looked back and nodded my head.

she excued her self and walked out the door only for the nurse to come back and take some blood before she excued her self after saying roughly how long it's take.

"you ok?" I asked looking at Rip who went quiet when the whole pregnancy test was mentioned

he nodded his head not looking at me.

We left the clinic and Rip had stayed quiet. when I parked my truck he climbed out and walked off while I sat there not saying anything before I climbed out.

"you two okay?" dad asked

"no. i believe I just lost my husband" I tell him as I leaned back against my truck and cried soundlessly.

I felt arms wrap around me and I clung to dad.

"lets head in and talk" he says

I wiped my eyes while nodding. and walked beside him inside and into his office where I sat down and he shut the doors.

"what happened?' he asked

"I'm pregnant. I went to the clinic to get on birthcontrol since Rip doesn't use condoms and I never was on birthcontrol. and he doesn't want kid, that's what that whole disagreement we had was about before. and now that he is gonna be I don't think he'll want to stay with me" I say

"what was said after the news was shared?" dad asked

"nothing, he didn't say anything when the doctor mentioned a pregnancy test and when she gave the news he still didn't say anything" I replied

"You go to your clinic and just take it easy. I'm gonna go have a talk with Rip. & don't worry I wont beat his ass or let anyone do it" he says

I sighed and nodded my head before doing just that.

~~~Rip's pov~~~~

I stood there bossing the fuckers around trying not to think of what I just found out. but I knew i'd have to eventually.

"Rip you got a minute?"

I looked back and seen Mr.Dutton making his way over

"Yes sir...I mean John" I say

He motion me to follow him and I did after telling Llyod he was in charge till I got back. we walked in to the back part of the barn and he rested his arms on the railing.

"you know the very first time Evelyn told me she was pregnant I was scared shitless, speechless, I didn't know what to do or how handle the news. heck I didn't want a family with the shit my father put on me. yet watching my child grow in the woman I love and then seeing Lee being born and being able to hold him my perspective on family changed." he says

"sir..."

he held his hand up.

"Now I'm not trying to force you to change your mind but I want to ask you this. what did you honestly think would come out of unprotected sex?" he questions

"baby" I replied

he lifted up off the railign and looked at me.

"I've seen you with Tata and I know Kayley has too. you are like a pro with him" he says

"cause he's not mine" I tell him

"no but he's a Dutton like Kayley is." he says

"yes sir I know" I replied

"do you mind me asking why you don't want to be a father?" I asked

"the life I came from when you found me. I dont want to be like him" he says

"Rip I've known you for a very long time and I know you love my daughter more than anything in this world. hell you've shown countless times how protective of her you are, and how you wanna spend all your life with her. why let kids ruin that?" he says

"they'd not sir. I just fear I'd hurt them and not mean to" I tell him

"Rip when it comes to kids regardless of them being part Dutton or full. I know you would protect them the best you could and you'd save them if and when you could. now if you where anything like that man you killed you'd not be how you are. you'd not care about kids, you'd be abusevie to my daughter, you'd be violent and physically hurt her and other people. but you've never have and I know just as well as you know that you're better man than the one you killed" he says

"how can I make things right?" I asked knowing he's right.

"go talk to her, tell her what you just told me and then work it out. cause she thinks she just lost you due to her being pregnant and you not saying a single word" he says

I nodded my head and he motioned me to leave so I did to go look for my wife and make things right.
