XO POV

I was rifling through my clothes trying to find the right outfit to wear for tonight. Stacey came bouncing in and plopped down on my bed. "Hey any thing you need help with?" She asked me. 

I turned to her, "No just trying to find something to wear." I said, flipping through my hangers. "Well if it helps you should definitely wear something that shows off your chest, because your boobs look huge." She smirked. 

I looked down and noticed she was right, "Oh god, it's starting," I said part mocking, part actually scared. 

"They look good." She reassured. 

I just laughed, "Okay please help me find something to wear." I asked.

RONNY POV

I was supposed to be meeting Xo and her friends in an hour and I was just getting more and more nervous. Nico said he was gonna meet me there in case I needed help and I was grateful for him. I wanted to impress Xo so I decided to wear something nice and get my haircut. 

After a quick shower and getting dressed, I slowly made my way over to the club. 

XO POV

"Stop fidgeting with your dress, you look amazing." Stacey instructed me, making me put my hand down. 

"I'm sorry I just feel like I look weird, I'm just trying to adjust myself." I said self consciously. 

"Xo, you're hot and you look good." Ursula backed up. 

"Thanks guys, what would I do without you're reassurance." I said gratefully.

While we were driving to the club, I noticed Fiona was texting someone nonstop. "Texting anyone good Fi?" I asked curiously. 

"Nope, just texting a friend.. from work." She stammered awkwardly.

 I just smirked, "Okay, don't tell us then," I said slyly. 

We arrived at the club a few minutes later and got in fairly quickly. I headed to the bathroom for the tenth time today first and them soon headed out with the girls to the dance floor. The place was packed today and they were playing great music tonight. As I was dancing with the girls I felt someone tap my shoulder, and behind me was this gorgeous man. "Want to dance?" He asked, his voice low and slow. I looked at my friends to tell them and then took his hand. "I'm Val," He introduced with a smirk. 

"Xo." I exclaimed back, having to shout over the blaring music. Val was about 6 ft tall with long curly hair and thick stubble on his face. He wasn't exactly my normal type but all I wanted to do was dance with him. 

"You're a good dancer," He complimented, leaning into me. 

I smiled, "Thanks, you are too." I replied. 

"Let's crank it up a bit," He said, quickly grabbing my hips and pulling me closer. His left hand slowly made it's way over my butt and he rolled into me, grinding hard on me.

"Could you please move your hand off, I'm not into it." I asked politely. He just shushed me and leaned in closer, planting wet, sloppy kisses down my neck. "Val. Stop." I demanded a little bit firmer. 

"Just relax,' he murmured, 'You're so sexy, wanna go somewhere?" He asked. 

"No I want you to stop and get off me." I said angrily.

"C'mon you don't mean that," He said slowly. Suddenly we are ripped apart and I am sent flying on the floor. 

"She said no you dick!" Another voice screamed at Val. I looked up and saw Ronny, seething angry and looking ready to kill Val. 

"Back off you little shit, I don't see no claim stickers on her." Val replied, equally as angry. I was picked up by Stacey and she pulled me back as Val charged at Ronny. Luckily Ronny was on to Val's moves and moved out of the way just in time, taking the chance to clock him in the face. 

"Stop it!" I yelled but it was useless. 

Suddenly two large security guards stepped in, "Okay that's enough. Break it up you two." They yelled, each grabbing a guy by the collar of their shirts. 

I looked at Stacey, Ursula, and Fiona completely shocked about what had just happened. "What the hell was that? How did he know we were here? What?" I said completely stunned still. None of the girls said anything, but instead just looked down awkwardly. 

I looked at the three of them, and my eyes narrowed, "Did you guys know he was gonna be here?" I asked. 

"Yeah" They mumbled unanimously. 

"You need to talk to him," Stacey said, and the other two nodded in agreement. 

"So you went behind my back?" I stated angrily. 

"Xo don't be mad, we care about you and want to help you. Ronny deserves to be in on everything, he is the father, and he's desperate." Fiona pointed out. 

I sighed, "Fine, let's go see him." I gave in.

We headed outside and immediately I saw Ronny leaning against the wall outside. I took a deep breath and looked back at my friends reluctantly. They shook their head and gave me a push. 

Slowly I walked over to him, "Hey," I said quietly. 

"Hi," He replied back awkwardly. 

"I guess we should talk," I stated and he gave me a look. 

"I think we should."

----BREAK--------

We walked over to a cafe across the street and got a seat at a small booth. "Would you like anything to drink or eat?" He asked.

 "A water please. Thank you." I said. He quickly went up to the counter and came back with a water for me and a coffee for him. 

"So when did you find out?" He shot out as I took a sip of my water. 

"Forward," I said jokingly, but he just stared at me, "about two weeks ago." I answered. He nodded like he was calculating the time in his head. 

"Have you been to a doctor yet?" He asked. 

"Yep, just to confirm that I was actually pregnant, but I have my next appointment next week." I replied. 

"Wow." He breathed and I nodded awkwardly. 

"And keeping it?" He broke out, and my face darted up to his. "Of course, just because this wasn't planned doesn't mean that the baby's life gets to be erased." I said a bit defensively. 

He held his hands up, "I was just asking Xo. I just found out that you're pregnant and I just wanted an idea of where your mind was at." He replied. 

"I'm sorry,' I apologized, 'I didn't mean to snap at you." I said. 

"It's okay, I'll drive you home." He said. 

He escorted me to his car, opening the door open for me. I gave him my address and we sat in silence as he drove me home.

 Once we reached my apartment building I went to get out of the car when Ronny stopped me, "Xo, wait," He said and I turned to face him. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm all in." He said giving me a meaningful look. 

"Goodnight Ronny." I said softly. I turned and headed into my apartment.
