Lip's POV:

After I told Skylar to leave, Ian comes barging in
"You're a fucking idiot"
"What do you mean?"
"Why'd you yell at Skylar? She did nothing but love you, Lip. Were you too blind to notice"
"I noticed. And I'm scared. I'm not ready to be a father"
"You were ready when Karen said she was pregnant, and the baby wasn't even fucking yours" Ian spits out
"What are you her fucking keeper?"
"No I'm her best friend. You're a fucking idiot, Lip" he says
"We've already established that"
"You need to either talk to her and fix things, or just be there for the baby. You know it's yours. You're the only one she's slept with." Ian says
"Can I process this? Ya know it's really shocking to hear that the girl you cheated on is fucking pregnant with your child and you had to fuck it up" I say
"If you weren't my brother I'd kill you"
"You and what army?"
"There isn't one. And there'd only be two hits, me hitting you and you hitting the floor"
Just then, I tackle him onto the floor.
"Lip I don't want to get into this with you man."
"Why not?"
"Cause I'll kill you"
He grabs me by my shirt collar
"Fucking talk to her" he says and walks out.

Skylar's POV:
I can't stop crying. I don't know if it's the obsessive amount of hormones flowing through me or because Lip yelled at me. Probably a mixture of both.
I hear a knock at my door
"Hey Ian" I say, opening it
"I got you your favorites. Vanilla bean ice cream, blueberry waffles, syrup, beef jerky, and peanut butter" He says, placing a bag onto my bed
"Thank you." I say, hugging him
"I um... have another doctor appointment in three weeks. If Lip doesn't come around will you go with me?"
"Of course."
"I hope he'll come around"
"I'm positive he will"
"Why do you say that?"
"We kinda got into it" he admits
"Over me?"
"Yeah. He tackled me."
"He's a jerk"
"I know"
Just then, I hear another knock.
"Come in" I say
Fiona walks through the door
"I um.. I know you don't want to see Lip but I'm hosting a party today and I was wanting you to go but I totally understand if you can't or don't want to"
"I'd love to" I say, smiling
"Just because Lip and I aren't on good terms doesn't mean I can't be around you guys. You're the only family I got"
"How's that going by the way? Have they bothered you?" Fiona asks
"Well they some how found out where I live. So they've been sending me letters but I just have Kev read them and tell me the just of it" I say
"Well the party is 8:30. You don't have to dress up but if I were you I'd make Lip eat his heart out"
"I was already planning on it" I say, laughing
"When's your next appointment?"
"I have my one month in three weeks, then it's just every 3 months from there on out" I say
"I know I'm not the dad but I really want a boy" Ian says
"I do too" I say
"I want a girl. Me and Debs are out numbered over there" Fiona says, laughing
"Well I already know what I'd name a boy. Declan Phillip Gallagher"
"You're gonna name it after that piece of shit" Ian says, rather loud. My windows open, and so is Lips. So I'm sure he heard it
"He's the father. Even if he doesn't want to be. He's the dad. There's no way in hell I'm giving my baby the last name of the people who left me behind. The baby won't even know them. Won't even know Monica. But sadly it'll know Frank"
"I understand" they both say
"It was gonna be Declan Ian Gallagher But.. ya know too many N's"
They both laugh
"Oh and I guess I have a nine year old sister?" I say
"Was she at the funeral?"
"Nope"
"What's her name?" Ian asks
"Mackenzie. I don't know if I want to see her. I mean.. they chose to be good parents to her and shitty ones to me" I say
"Liam might know her. I mean they're the same age. I'll ask him" Fiona says

Around 8, I decide to get ready. I want to look good since most of my clothes will stop fitting me soon.
I put on a white tank top with a black skirt, and a grey sweater jacket and my black combat boots

I do some light makeup and put my hair into a French braid"Hey V are you going to the party?""Hell yes! The Gallagher's know how to fuckin party" she says"Are you going" Kev asks"Uh

"Hell yes! The Gallagher's know how to fuckin party" she says
"Are you going" Kev asks
"Uh.. yeah I am"
"If Lip says anything to hurt you I'll-"
"I know you'll kick his sorry ass. It's ok Kev. I'm sure he won't"
We all head over there and hear loud music being played.
"Hey Gallagher's!" I yell over the music, earning everyone's attention
"SKY YOU CAME!" Ian says, obviously already drunk
"Yeah I did!" I say back
"Where's Lip?" V asks
"Upstairs. Been there all day" Debs says
"Should I go talk to-"
Everyone says yes, so I make my way up to our old room
I lightly knock
"Listen if it's any of my sibling I don't want to hear it. I know I fucked up, okay? So leave me alone"
"Lip it's me"
I hear him put his hand on the doorknob but then remove it
"Why are you here"
"We need to talk about this and if you won't open the door we can talk about it like this" I say, sliding down the door
"I just don't know what to do" Lip says
"You can either be with me or not. If not, I'll move. Get out of your hair. You have your whole life ahead of you. You don't need me and a baby ruining it."
He opens the door and I fall back onto the cold wood.
"You wouldn't be ruining it, Sky." He admits
"So you want me to stay"
"Only if we can try again" he says, looking down at me
"Take it slow. Until the baby comes"
"I can do that" he says
"Me too" I say, smiling
"Ya know I love you, right?"
"Yeah I know. I love you too"
