Chapter 9

 * 5 months later*

Your POV:

It's been 5 months since I found out I was pregnant. I told Ethan about the baby, and he has been super supportive. I feel bad, because I still wish the baby was Grayson's, but all signs point to it being Ethan's. Grayson hardly ever speaks to me, he only talks to me if he has too. My parent's figured out about me being pregnant a couple of months ago and were completely furious, but in time they became supportive. Ethan's parents have been supportive as well, they're not happy about the situation, but their making the best of it. Ever since I told Grayson I was pregnant he has gone in a downward spiral. He goes to party's and comes home wasted almost every night, at least that's what Ethan tells me.  And when he's not partying he stays in his room all the time. I feel horrible for doing this to Grayson. We were on good terms and I thought things might work out for us, before I found out I was pregnant. But, I can't change what happened. I just wish I could be happy, I feel horrible. Every time  I look at Ethan, I wish he was Grayson. It's hard to be mad about the situation though, the baby is helpless. And although, I have never seen the baby. I feel a connection with it and I love it. Today, I'm going to figure out what I'm having. It's my 6 month checkup, I have to admit that I'm a little excited to find out if it's a boy or girl. I got out of my bed and walked downstairs and got in my car. I drove to the Dolan household so Ethan and I could go to the appointment. I got to the house and knocked on the door. Grayson answered it. "Hey." I said with a smile. He didn't say anything, he just let me in. "Um, is Ethan here?" I asked. "Nope." he replied. "Well where is he?" I asked. "Not here." Grayson replied sitting down on the couch. I sat next to him. "Look, I know you like hate me, and that's cool. But, you've been nothing but a jerk to me these past few months. Would it kill you to be just the tiniest bit nice?" I asked. He turned and looked at me, "Your pregnant with my brother's baby." he said. I saw his eyes were yellow and he looked tired, he must have been out partying last night. "I can't change what happened Grayson, and I wish everyday that this was your baby. Ethan is an amazing person, and yes I love him. But, not like I love you." I replied. "Do you not remember what I told you? I don't want anything to do with you or that baby." he said pointing to my stomach. "I still care about you, I still love you. Can we please just be friends?" I asked. Grayson looked me in the eyes, "We will never be friends and I will never love you ever again." he said. Tears started falling down my eyes. "You know what Grayson, I can't help what happened okay? I can't go back in time and just change everything. If I could I would, but I can't. I have sat in my room for 6 months wishing things have gone differently, wishing that you would talk to me. And what have you been doing huh? Going out getting drunk, sleeping with strangers. I made a mistake Grayson, and you did too. I loved you, and I cared about you, and no matter what you say I still do." I said getting up from the couch and going outside. I saw Ethan pull up, I wiped my tears away. I walked down and got in the car. "Hey sorry I'm late, I went to the store and lost track of time." he said. "It's okay." I said with a smile. Ethan put his hand on mine and we drove to the doctor's office.

*skip car ride*

"It's going to be a little cold now." the nurse said, putting the blue gel on me. I nodded my head in response. Ethan sat next to me holding my hand the whole time. I smiled over at him, Ethan was a really great guy, and I did love him. I loved him a lot, but not like Grayson. "Would you like to find out the sex?" the nurse asked smiling. I looked over at Ethan and we nodded. "You're having a girl." she said handing us the sonogram picture. "Congratulations." she said as I sat up. "A girl!" Ethan said with a smile. We walked out of the doctor's office and got in the car. "A girl!" Ethan said again all happily. I smiled. "Ethan, I wanted to apologize." I said. "For what?" he asked confused. "For being, well I don't know. I guess for not being happy all the time, I know I can be kind of rude about this situation. But, I wanted you to know I love you, and are daughter." I said with a smile. "I love you too." he said with a smile and rubbed my stomach. We pulled out of the doctor's office and began driving away. "So, what should we call her?" Ethan asked holding my hand. "I don't know, I like the name Riley." I said with a smile. Ethan glance over at me. "I like that too. Riley." Ethan said giggling. We stopped at a red light and Ethan looked over at me. "Riley." Ethan said. Then everything went black.
