Music: So Contagious (covered by Jaime Preciado) <- ha, surprisingly relevant to this story.

*Ryan's POV*

          I think Ricky was massively pissed at me for ditching him last night with what he thought was a lame excuse. But how could i just casually have sex with someone who is carrying a child so precious to me. Like, sorry little unborn child, i hope i don't poke you inside there but it's what Ricky wanted. Okay, i know that was kind of gross and visual but it's the truth!

          Guilt pangs would stab me every once in a while as i tried to avoid Ricky, which was proving to be easier said than done. I know i'm going to look like the bad guy, i know i'm going to make Ricky upset, but it's for the best. It's because i love him that i have to let him down sometimes and it kills me just as much as it kills him.I just couldn't get too close to him because just something about him draws me in and tempts me every time. And as if the guilt eating me alive like it was a parasite wasn't bad enough, my head was pounding like i was hung over but ten times worse and i hadn't even drank in a couple of weeks. The pain was unbearable but i managed like i always did. It almost seemed like the pain was coming from the middle of my brain or somewhere on the sides in the middle, but i couldn't really tell. Sure, i've had numerous headaches before but the pain just seemed to gradually increase. But it soon faded to a light ache.

          Finally, Ricky came out of his hiding in our bedroom and slunk his way into the kitchen. His hair was messy, sticking out in every direction known to man, but he still made it cute with his smudged eye makeup and grumpy look on his face. I figured it was safe enough to approach him now because Josh was here and hopefully he wouldn't pull any funny business and stick his hand own my pants or something. Or at least that was my logic. 

          "Good morning, sleepy head." I smiled, drawing closer to him but he flinched away and glared at me before i could even give him a simple kiss on the forehead. Oh yeah, he was Pissed. "How are you feeling?" I decided to try again to get him to talk but i should have known better because there's no way he was going to give up his game so easily. 

           "Ohhh, the silent treatment." Balz butted in sarcastically. "Is he going to give in? Is he going to stand strong? what's it going to be, Riley?" He passed a fake microphone to Riley who stood on the couch narrating our every move. "What team are you on?" 

            "Team Ry-icky!" She mashed her words together and giggled.

            "Hey, you can't pick both sides, missy. That's cheating!" I played along, rushing over to Riley and picking her up and flinging her over my shoulder, swinging her around until her belly erupted with laughter. And then i got an idea. I walked over to Ricky, Riley still on my shoulder, and made Riley poke Ricky until he couldn't help but smile. I saw his mean demeanor crack when he grinned for a millisecond until he turned it back to a scowl. 

              "Oh yeah, we need milk," josh informed me just  before Ricky angrily walked away and threw the empty carton in the garbage.

            "I'll get the milk later, but for right now-" I put Riley down and she ran back to Josh. "I want Ricky" I said and swiftly picked up Ricky and threw him over my shoulder just like i had with Riley. He squealed then grunted, hitting my back with his small fists. "Nuh-uh, i'm not going to let you go so easily." I snickered, spinning him around too.

            "Let me go!" He whined, hitting my  back harder until i finally plopped him down on a couch where i pinned his arms to the fabric, my face above his.

            "Aww there's that beautiful voice that i missed so much." He fought me at first but then sighed and relaxed, stopping his failed thrashing. "I love you, snowflake." I smiled and caught him smiling too then placed a slow kiss on his lips before pulling away. "Okay, I'll go get the milk now."


*Ricky's POV*

             I was slightly less pissed than i was before but the anger and frustration still boiled in me. Josh was watching TV with Riley on his lap sleeping, obviously tired out from playing with Ryan. And it had gotten me curious as to why Ryan was taking a half an hour to get milk from a store that was literally no more than two miles away. Either i was being paranoid and controlling or something was wrong.

             Coincidentally, two minutes later my phone was buzzing in my pocket. Shuffling it out of my jeans i put it to my ear. "Hello?"

              "I have a situation, please come outside..." I heard Ryan's wary voice just as he hung up. He seemed out of breath and completely out of it mentally. Within seconds i was out the door and running down the stairs. And if you've ever seen a pregnant person hobbling down the stairs, you'll know that it's not the most graceful sight in the history of man kind.

               The air around me pricked my skin like tiny needles were floating in the wind. I regretted not bringing a jacket with me because the cold was biting me all over my body, but i sure as hell wasn't going to go back and get it now. 

             "Ryan!"I called out, seeing him sitting in the car with his door open. Not only was he not wearing a coat but he was sweating profusely and his nose was bleeding violently. I rushed over to him and stopped in my tracks so i didn't step in the blood infused puke melting through the snow at my feet. "What happened? oh my god."

               "It seems like i need a stronger cold medicine..." He tried to crack a rugged smile.
