1 week later...

it was message after message, and call after call. i thought a break would be good for us. ross can have some time to process everything, and i can have some time handling everything.

i haven't told anyone yet, but i was planning on telling kassidy first. i know i should tell sav, or rydel. but i also need help on what to do, behalf of ross. besides, she's the only other person who knows him as much as i do, maybe even better.

ross was coming back to california in about two weeks, and it's been so weird not speaking to him, but i want him to know how serious this actually is. i'm having the baby, and he needs to accept that or i'm leaving.

i read his messages every night before i go to bed, as i waited for kassidy to come over. i reach for my phone and see four recent texts from him.

from : ross💛
please answer me.
you don't know how
worried i am about
you.

from : ross💛
it's been a week, laura.
i've suffered enough,
believe me.

from : ross💛
laura, please answer.
i want to talk about this.

from : ross💛
laura. i know you want
space but i can't give you
that right now. please just
answer.

i felt bad, i wanted to answer, but i couldn't let him off the hook this easy.

to : ross💛
i'm okay

that was the first message i've sent to him since i've left puerto rico. my phone buzzes immediately and it's him.

from : ross💛
oh thank god, you answered!
you're okay?! is our baby okay?!
how is everything?

i pour violet some water, and sigh setting my phone aside. stormie offered to take care of violet while i left for three days, and it seems like violet's still adjusting to the apartment because she was so used to stormie's. i bent down and pet her tiny stomach, "good girl, violet."

when there's a knock on the door, violet barks softly. i calm her down before opening it up to kassidy. "hey, kass. come in."

she greets me in a hug, and wiggles her eyebrows. "you said this was urgent, is everything alright?"

i take a breath in and out, hoping she'd react better than ross did. "i'm pregnant."

kassidy's serious facial expression changed quickly, a wide smile takes place upon her lips as she squeals. "oh my god, are you serious laura? don't mess with me. i love babies!"

i chuckle at her excitement. "i'm not messing with you, i'm actually pregnant."

she pulls me in for another hug and jumps up and down. she frowns when she notices i'm not as excited. "what's the matter?"

"ross wasn't too happy about it, and we got into a fight when i left puerto rico, so i told him i wanted to take a break." i explain, feeling emotional.

kassidy frowns, rubbing my back softly. "aweh laura. i'm sure every unexpected dad would have ross' reaction."

i shrug. "i don't know, kassidy. i really wanted him to be supportive and understanding, i didn't think he'd be so angry. i've been feeling so stressed out."

kassidy sighs, "i'm sure he just needed time. ross wants kids, laura. trust me, and he's going to be a great dad. i think it was all just a shock, but once he really thinks about it. he'll understand. that's the thing with ross, he needs time when he's angry or upset."

i flash her a crooked smile, "thank you, kassidy. it means a lot, and please don't go tell anyone else. you're the first person i told."

kassidy grins. "well boy, don't i feel special."

i chuckle, offering her a drink. she asks for water.

"so how far along are you?" she asks, petting violet.

"i'm not sure. i have my first appointment this week so i'll find out." i explain, passing her a bottle of water.

kassidy frowns. "you're going to the baby's first ultrasound without ross?"

i shrug. "he couldn't of came either way, besides. i don't think he cares too much."

"that would definitely hurt, ross." kassidy tells me. "trust me, he'd want to be there."

i shake my head, not believing her.
"i'll tell him what happens."
