Our Hourglass (Sequel to Perfectly Photogenic)

Chapter 20

Brianne's POV

The next day at work, Emilee kept to herself and didn't say a word to me or Matt.

"I'll be back, ladies, I'm headed to a session. Hopefully the tension in the air between you two will clear up." Matt said, grabbing his equipment. He walked out the door and Emilee let out a sigh.

"I can't do it, Brianne. When me and Vinny went home last night, I almost told him, but then I freaked out. I don't know how Vinny's going to take this news?"

"Knowing him, he'll probably faint. Emilee, the only way you'll find out his reaction is if you tell him, and you have to tell him."

"What do I even say?"

"Just be calm and say you need to discuss something with him, it'll be okay." I smiled.

"Okay." Emilee sighed, nodding her head. "I'll think about it on the drive to my photo shoot." She smiled, gathering her things.

***************

The work day was now over and I was currently in bed with Ryan, watching TV. I turned my head and smiled at him. "I love you."

"I love you too." Ryan smiled back. "How was work by the way?"

"Okay." I replied, putting my focus back on the TV.

"Emilee okay?"

"She's fine, why wouldn't she?"

"I know she's pregnant, Brianne."

I slowly turned my head and stared at him. "What?"

"Don't play dumb, Emilee told you she's pregnant."

"You were spying on us!" I yelled, sitting up.

"I was not."

"Then what was it, Ryan?"

"I just overhead stuff, that's all."

I rolled my eyes at him. "Sure."

"You weren't even going to tell me, were you?" I ignored his question and looked over at the wall. "Why hide it? I would've found out anyway when I'd be taking Vinny to the hospital for having a damn stroke!"

"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want you getting upset."

"Why would I be upset?"

"Because you know how hard we've been trying for a baby. I didn't want you being jealous of Vinny and Emilee."

"Oh come on." Ryan whined, rolling his eyes. "You think I'd be jealous? Jealous at my own friends? Yeah, try again. Sounds like you're the one who's jealous."

I gasped, glaring at him. "You shut up!" I raised my voice, pointing at him. "That is not true, besides Emilee probably isn't going to keep the baby."

"Does Vinny know this?"

"Well.." I trailed. Ryan reached over to his bedside table and picked up his phone. "What are you doing?!"

"Calling Vinny."

"No!" I shrieked, climbing on top of Ryan, trying to take his phone away. "You don't have a say in this!"

"He has a right...to..know." Ryan struggled, tapping Vinny's contact. I grabbed his arm and twisted it, causing him to drop his phone. "Oww!" Ryan screamed, pushing me to the floor.

I picked up his phone and tried getting out of the bedroom by crawling, but Ryan grabbed me by my legs and pulled me back in. "Give my phone back."

"Payback sucks, doesn't it?"

Ryan picked me up by the waist, my grip on his phone still tight. "Fine then."

Ryan walked over to our bed, sitting us down and laid me out across his lap. I felt Ryan's hand come in contact with my ass, hard. I gasped and turned my head, looking up at him. "That hurt?" He smirked.

I huffed and rested my elbow on his knee, resting my chin in my hand. "I will give you the phone back, but you can't call Vinny. This is between him and Emilee, she has to tell him." I handed Ryan his phone and stood up, rubbing my ass. "Was that really necessary?"

"Got you to listen, didn't I?" He smirked.

"I don't like you right now."

"That's right, you don't like me, you love me." Ryan smiled, pecking my cheek.

"Such a dork." I rolled my eyes.

"You married me."

"I know." I said, laying back on the bed. "And I wouldn't want it any other way." I smiled.
