When Two Worlds Collide

Chapter 28

**Carter's POV**

It's been about 24 hours since I found out about the new...development. I just don't know how to break the news to Ryan. We haven't been married for even a month yet, and we didn't plan on having kids till about a year into our marrige. I guess this is what we get for being so careless.

"So, it's Friday night do you wanna go to the bar and get a drink with A.J." Ryan asked

"I'm really tired, but you can go if you want"

"Naw, not without you" Ryan said kissing my forehead

"So, what are you gonna do tonight?"

Ryan shrugged "what are you gonna do?"

"I have some paper work to do"

"I'll let you do your paperwork, and I think I will go get a drink with A.J."

"Ok, have fun babe I love you"

"I love you too"

I grabbed my laptop to work on paper work, but I ended up calling my mom

"Hey sweetie! I thought you'd be with your husband tonight!" She said when she answered

"I had work to do so he went out with a friend for a little bit"

"Well, what's going on?"

"I have some news. I haven't told Ryan yet"

"What is it?"

"I'm, um, pregnant?" The first time I said those words and they're as bitter as poison

"Carter, you sound as if that's a question or something that could happen. Are you really pregnant?"

I sighed "yes, but this wasn't planned,  mom"

"Then you and Ryan should have been responsible. Carter, a baby is a beautiful thing you should be thankful"

"I know. I am thankful, but I'm worried about Ryan's reaction"

"Don't be. You two will be amazing parents. Just tell him the truth"

"Ok, I better go. I do have paperwork"

"Ok, bye babe"

"Bye mom"

I hung up and went to my closet. I pulled out a small box and wrapped it up. I set it on the bed and waited until Ryan got home.

2:35 am

I woke up to an empty bed and looked at the time. Seeing how late it was I called Ryan, but he didn't answer. I went downstairs. The house was empty and Ryan's car was still gone. I called A.J. but he didn't answer either. It's unlike Ryan to not come home or to not call me. I hate to call Jamie or Ricky this late, but I don't know what else to do. I finally picked up the phone and called Jamie

"Hello?" She sounded awake, surprisingly

"Hey, have y'all heard from Ryan?? I'm sorry to call so late but he left about 6 and he hasn't made it back home and he isn't answering his phone"

"Hm, rick and I have been sitting here watching movies all night and he hasn't came by or called Ricky"

"Ok, thanks Jamie"

"Call me if you need anything. I'll have Ricky call Ryan right now"

"I really appreciate you Jamie"

Whatever's going on I hope Ryan's ok....
