CHAPTER TWELVE: CAUGHT?

Author's: 😭❤️OUR PRINCESS IS 21❤️😭

Ellington's POV:

Rydel is finally all healed up from the Jake incident but she still has a large scar on her waist, and even though she's still the most beautiful girl in the world, it makes her feel self conscious, I will never forgive Jake for that. Plus the police still have no lead on finding him and if they don't soon, then I will...

But on less serious terms, Ross and Maia invited the family (me included duh) to dinner tonight. Rydel said they have something to tell us, but she won't say what...

Rydel's POV:

I'm getting ready for dinner tonight. Maia and Ross and finally gonna tell the rest of the family about baby. I think it's about time too, because Maia is starting to show.

I slip on one of my favourite red nasty gal dresses, and curl my hair, and start to do my makeup in the mirror when I hear a knock at my door.

"Come in," I answer, not bothering to look and see who it is.

"You don't need all that you know..." the voice says.

I turn around to see Ellington leaning against the wall and looking at me matter-of-fact-ly. I scoff at him and turn around but he comes up behind me and snakes his arms around my waist, kissing my cheek lightly.

I turn to face him and his arms remain around my waist. He leans in for a kiss, but I put my hands on his chest, push him back a little, and giggle at his confused expression.

I smirk evilly at him, and for a second he smirks back, but looking into his eyes soon melts my expression and I can't help but just stare and smile.

I finally give in and am about to lean in until I hear someone shout,

"RYDELLINGTON!"

I quickly shove Ell away and he drops his grip on my waist, as we turn to see none other than my little brother Rocky, gawking at us from my doorway.

Ellington's POV:

Suddenly Rocky bursts out laughing and drops to the floor,

"How much are you gonna pay me to keep this one a secret?!" he manages out.

Rydel suddenly steps forward defensively and glares down on him,

"I won't need to pay you anything, because there's nothing going on!" she growls. "We're. Just. Friends."

"Haha yea keep telling yourself that," Rocky finishes, standing up and walking down the stairs. "Oh and mom says hurry up..."

I turn to Rydel and giggle a little but she's bright red, and she's biting her lip, looking unsure.

"What's wrong?" I ask, stepping closer to her and placing a hand on her shoulder.

"It's nothing, it's just- ugh I mean that was only Rocky thank god! But what if Riker had walked in?!" she says frantically. "I'm just saying I-"

"Hey," I interrupt. "I get it, we can dial it down a little when there's family around, it's fine. Remember, this is our little secret."

She smiles that beautiful smile when I say the last part. Then she steps forward a little and punches me in the arm lightly.

"What was that for?" I ask, trying to look hurt but failing because Delly's too cute.

"You're still my best friend and I can mess with you if I want to!" she laughs, as she runs out of the room and I follow.

Maia's POV:

I stand in front of my long mirror, and stare intently at the lump on my stomach. It's not all huge like you'd usually picture when you think "pregnant", but it's definitely there, and to be honest, it's not so bad.

It's relieving to at least know the baby is growing properly. Or I think it is that is, my mum says she was bigger than I am when she was this far along with me or Charlie. But I'm not too worried, and Ross and I are going to the appointment tomorrow so I guess we'll find out...

I decide to stop worrying and get ready for dinner tonight.....oh wait, that's another thing to worry about....

I pluck a loose-er black dress with a high waistline from my closet in an attempt to conceal the small bump, since I don't want anyone to guess before we tell them. Then I make my way over to my vanity and quickly straighten my hair, and am about to do my makeup when I decide to reach for the tub of Nutella instead.

Why do I have Nutella on my vanity you ask? Two words...

Pregnancy Cravings.

It's terrible, I'm constantly craving the most random foods, even things I would usually never eat!? Like the other day, I woke up at 3 am and had a need for cereal. And this morning I ate like an entire bag of spicy Doritos, a snack I'm usually not into. Gosh what is going on with me?....

After a spoonful of the heavenly chocolate substance, I do my makeup, and text Ross that I'll be on my way soon.
