My Ghost Boyfriend *COMPLETED*

#2

I wake up crying from a weird dream, I really don't remember it. I get up so I can take a shower, I open his door, his family is standing out in the hall. They have a sad look on their face, I know what they are sad about. "Court we're so sorry" I burst into tears and lean into the closest person by me, Riker. Everyone wraps around Riker and I, so we have family hug. "We got a call saying his funeral is at 2:30 you want to come?"Riker asks.
"Yeah" I whisper "It'll be the right thing to do.
"Of course it is"Riker whispers. I always do the right thing, that's one of the reasons Ross fell in love with me. We are engaged or at least we were.
"Courtney" Ryland whispers. I stop hugging Riker and go to Ryland and hug him. "I miss him so much" he whispers into my hair.
"I know I do too" I say trying to not burst into tears. "Riker what time is it? " I ask turning around to face an empty hallway. I go to the living room, pulling Ryland with me. "Riker?"
"Yeah?" He asks confused
"What time is it?" He looks at his watch.
"Ummm... 12:30"
"Thank you"
"No problem, but there is a clock in Ross's room."
"There is?"
"Yeah, there should be" Riker thinks  a minute "check the drawer in the nightstand."
"Okay thanks"
"No problem Court" I turn around to head back to Ross's room to look for his clock. I look in the drawer, not there, I look every where in his room. No where to be found. I sit on his bed and think if I we're him where would my clock be. I have no clue where it would be. I look at his picture of Ross and I on his nightstand. There is a section in it with numbers. Then I notice the buttons for a clock "of course" I whisper to myself I grab it, 12:35.
"Court did you find his clock?" Riker asks standing at his door.
"Yeah"
"Would you like to live with us, become family. I would mean you are and we're going to be part of the family. So, do you want to live here as a Lynch even though your not?"
"Yes. Yes I would. Even change my last name."
"Yeah we could go to the courthouse and change it to Lynch, if you want"
"Yes I would love to be a Lynch, still" I say smiling.
"You get ready and we go before we go to the funeral,"
"Yeah" I say trying to hide the sadness. Riker comes in and sits on the bed beside me.
"Court, you should really express how you feel. Not keep it locked up inside."
"Okay" I say bursting into tears. Riker pulls me into a side hug. I wrap my arms around his neck, "Thank you Riker"
"Your welcome Court"
"You've been positive when your family was being mean."
"What'd you mean?" Riker asks confused.
"You were there when Ross and i first met, when Ross asked me to marry him, when everybody else didn't want us together you were beside us the whole time. I'm truly grateful to call you family"
"Of course. What else is family for"
"True. You can't tell nobody what I'm about to tell you"
"Okay. On my honor it's our secret."
"Good. Riker... I'm pregnant"
"What!" Riker says pulling away "No way. Did Ross know?"
I shake my head "No, I just found out yesterday afternoon before I got the telegram. I was planning to tell him when he came to get me for our date."
"Aww that's right you guys had a date last night"
"Yeah"
"Aww, I'm so sorry. I'll leave you to get dressed."
"Okay and thank you Riker"
"No trouble" I smile and nod. Riker gets up and leaves me to get dressed. I where my black skinny jeans, with a black tank top, Ross's black sweatshirt he wore at home only, it smells like him. I put on his chains, bracelets, necklaces, I put on my original high top Converse and met Riker in the living room.
"Hey Courtney" Savannah says, rulers girlfriend.
"Hey Savannah" I whisper.
"I'm so sorry about Ro-" she looks at Riker he shakes his head in disapproval to saying his name "him"
"Thank you" I say trying to stay strong, for Ross. "It's just so hard so please don't say his name please"
"Can do" Riker and savanna say "ready to go?" Riker asks. I nod yes and we leave to go to the courthouse. "Ready to be somewhat a Lynch?@
"Yes I am"
"Two questions. One, Do you want his room, just make it you?"
"Yes please"
"Of course. Second, Do you like Savannah?"
"Of course I do" I say in defense "why?"
"She thinks you don't like her"
"She's my best friend so is Laura and Delly" I say looking out the car side door.
"I was just wondering"
"Okay"'I say leaving the questions in the past. Input my headphones in my ears and turn on my music. The closest courthouse is in Beverly Hills. The Lynch's live in Northridge so we have to drive half an hour to get there ad back before the funeral. "Riker?"
"Yeah?"
"In your house can we leave at anytime?"
"Yeah all you have to say is I'm heading out" Riker explains.
"Okay I was just-"
"Court it's completely fine"
"Okay" I say putting my one bud back in my ear. We arrive at the courthouse just a couple seconds later. So, I turn off my music and leave it in the car. I get out with Riker and go into the courthouse. There is a lady at the front desk.
"May I help you?"
"Yes we would like to see the judge" Riker  answers.
"Okay go right back to the last door on the right"
"Thank you" Riker says. Riker and I walk to the room she said "Hello?" The door is open so we just walk in.
"Hello!" Judge says "how may I help you two?"
"Well Courtney here wants to change her last name"
"You to together?"
"No!" Riker and I at together.
"Then why?"
"Well she was engaged to my  brother and well he got into a car crash yesterday and didn't make it and at This very moment she is carrying his child. So, could you-"
"Please" I say.
" I'm sorry. I would love to but I can't. The only way to change your last name is to get married or divorced."
"So your saying I can't change my last name until I'm married!" I ask
"That is correct"
"What about the baby ?" Riker questions.
"The child will have the fathers last name"
"Okay. What if we adopted her?" Riker asks.
"At her age?"
"Yes at her age" Riker exclaims "my family adopt her?"
"That could work and I could edit the file saying you married that Lynch boy"
"Would you do that for me?" I ask
"Of course"
"Thank you!"
"Just sign these couple papers and you'll be a Lynch."
I sign the papers, Riker and I head home "Congratulations. You're a Lynch!"
"Yeah, I am" I say smiling. "The funerals in an hour... Perfect timing."
"Yeah it is" Riker says pulling out of the courthouse parking "Funeral?"
"Funeral" I say nervously. I put my headphones in but dorm listen to ANY music. We slowly drive to town to get to hi- Ross's funeral.
