RILEY'S POV

My heart pounds fiercely against my ribs and my face blooms red with nerves as I wait for James in my office. The studio was a complete ghost town due to the fact it was after hours in the studio, Laura was at Lily's and Chelsea was at Abi's while I had completed up some work.

"Hey Babe," I smile as my husband casually walks into the studio.

"What up, Riles? After all these years, I still make you flustered." He kisses my forehead.

"James, there's something I've been meaning to tell you." James sits down, waiting patiently. "I'm-I'm pregnant." I stutter nervously. James' eyes grow dark with fury.

"You've been cheating on me?!" His voice cracks as he stares at me with disgust and disbelief.

"No, James-" I cut myself off with a strangled cry as James shoves the chair away, knocking my desk and smashing a photo. He storms out. "James!" I yell out to him crying. I run into Studio A and grab my phone before sitting down on the ground. Hot tears drip down my face as I feel my blood pumping in my ears, my face burning feverishly. I click my sister's contact.

"Hello?" My sister's calm voice comes through the phone.

"SNS." I hear Emily gasp. I hadn't used it since I went into labour.

"Where are you?" I shakily hold the phone and bit my lip, keeping myself from screaming.

"Studio A." I manage to choke as I let out another gut wrenching sob. "Emily, please hurry." I try and wipe my tears as my sister hushes me.

"I'll be there as soon as I can, stay strong Riley." I hang up and let out a furious and broken scream as I continue to cry my heart out.

EMILY'S POV

I hang up and quickly call Chelsea's daughter, Charlotte, knowing Hunter needed to talk to James.

"Hey Em." Charlotte picks up brightly.

"Listen, Jiley's having a bit of a situation and I need you to look after the kids so Hunter and I can sort it out." I hear Charlotte straighten up.

"I'll be there in two." I hang up and turn to Hunter.

"What's wrong, Em?" I smile weakly.

"SNS, Riley's pregnant and James doesn't know it's his." Hunter frowns at me.

"How could he not know it's his?" I explain quickly.

"They were drunk, James doesn't remember. Talk to him for me please." My husband smiles.

"Of course." I hear a car pull up in the driveway.

"There's Charlotte. Do you know where James would be?" I ask, heading towards the door.

"I have an idea. I love you, good luck." Hunter calls as I open the front door, letting Charlotte in.

"Love you too, good luck," I yell back before shutting the door and rushing towards my car. I quickly hop in and drive to the studio. I grab the spare key out of my bag and open the door, taking in my surroundings. I could hear Riley's panicked sniffles from a mile away. I run down the hall and pull my sister into a hug.
