Ryan's POV

Where is he?! Jesus Christ, he hasn't been in school for a week. I'm starting to freak out. What if something happened to the baby? I'm- "Here's your damn proof." Brendon says, slamming a piece of paper onto my desk. His stomach had grown in the slightest bit. A barely there bump making it's existence known. Anyone else wouldn't notice... but anyone else isn't looking.

"Brendon, where the hell have you been?"

"Went to the doctors, took some test, cried about it for week." He says sarcastically.

"Don't bitch at me. I'm not the pregnant one." Brendon narrows his eyes at me.

"I'm just going to ignore that." Brendon pushes his sunglasses to the top of his head. He has dark circles lining his eyes. He looks awful. "Anyway, just look at the paper work."

My eyes skim over the sheet of paper. He's pregnant, but we already knew that. The contributing father is... George Ryan Ross III. He was right. I can't say anything. I cursed at my own child. I spit at the boy who carrying it. Oh god, I'm a terrible person. "Brendon, I'm sorry. I-"

"Save it. I don't need your sympathy. I get enough from Dallon."

"Your boyfriend?"

"No, he's my brother actually. He just acted like he was my boyfriend to piss you off."

"Oh."

"Anyway, I don't expect you to help. I won't tell anyone it's yours. I just thought you should know. I don't want to ruin your rep or anything."

"You're showing a little." I say quietly. I honestly haven't been able to take my eyes off his stomach this whole time.

"Ah... what?

"Your stomach. It's already starting to show." He pulls down the tight grey tee shirt as far as it will go. "It's kind of amazing."

"Don't lie Ryan... I'm already self conscious enough as it is."

"But I'm not lying. There's a baby in there. That's incredible." I cautiously put a hand on Brendon's stomach. As expected, he jerks away from me. "I'm sor-"

"No, I just... I have to set down." He starts towards his desk, but as he goes he says, "The first sonogram is next Wednesday. If you want to go, keep your schedule open."

Right. Defiantly.

I pull into the driveway and notice my black Dodge Charger setting in its old spot. How did he manage to get that here?

I get inside of my three story house and call for my mom. "Mom! I need to talk to you about something." After seeing Brendon's car and driving by his house, I know there's no way he could afford medical bills. Especially if his parents don't know.

"I'm in the kitchen honey."

"Mom, what would you do if Audrey got pregnant?" Audrey is my twin sister. Not that we even look alike anymore. Not after she dyed her hair hot pink and got her septum pierced.

"I don't really know... I'd be upset, but if still support her." She paused to put a sheet if cookies into the oven. "Why are you asking?" I shrug.

"Just cause."

"Oh god. Please tell me you didn't get Keltie pregnant."

"No! No... not Keltie."

"Phew... that's a relief." She untie her apron and hangs it on a cabinet door.

"But ah... do you know Brendon Urie?"

"Oh yes! His brother stopped by earlier to drop off your car. He's a nice boy."

"Well I um... God... I cheated on Keltie, mom..." Mom covers her mouth with her hand, but I keep going. "It was with that boy, Brendon... and I um... I got him pregnant."

"Oh my..." She uses the counter behind her to keep her balance. "That's a rare thing to come across, isn't it?" I nod slowly. I didn't think it would happen either. "Well... how far along is he?"

"About a month and a half I guess." And then it happens. I break. Tears spill over my eyes and mom hurries to me, wrapping her arms around me. "I'm gonna lose my senior year mom! I have to be there! What am I going to do?!"

"Shh... It's okay. Everything is going to be okay."

"Mom, I'm so scared. I can't even imagine how Brendon is feeling. I feel so bad about all this. I probably ruined his life mom! I spat at his feet! All because I couldn't handle the fact that I got a boy pregnant."

"He'll be fine honey... you just have to support him."

"He's not going to e able to afford hospital bills... we have to help him."

"Of course we will. Of course we will." We pull apart and mom wipes the tears from my cheeks with her sleave.

"He's showing a little." I say, smiling through my tears. "I already love the baby... so so much."

"That's what it's like being a parent. You feel a bond with your baby that you never thought you could. I think you should invite Brendon over for dinner, so we can talk about this."

"Okay... the first sonogram is Wednesday. Maybe he can come over after."

"That'd be fine." She kisses my temple and pulls me back into her arms.
