Time passed and Charlie got her definite scan done. Nothing had happened to the child, thank god. Charlie went home that evening.

Although they knew the baby was okay, Charlie and Ryan were terrified for two months straight. They knew they shouldn't have been, but they were. Charlie wasn't too phased about the whole going into the hospital thing. She was worried about Ricky.

She didn't want him to get beat up in prison or anything. She still loved him, even though he went over the line.

One morning, two months before Charlie's due date came around, she began panicking. She was sat upstairs, looking over all the pictures from her scans.

Out of no where, she began panicking. She looked around to find her tablets that help ease pain. There was a shooting pain across her stomach.

"RYAN!!!" She screamed for her boyfriend, who was downstairs. She heard a bang and someone ran up the stairs, and into the room.

Ryan seen that she was panicking and moved the baby scans, sitting on the bed beside her , and taking her hands in his. "It's okay babe, calm down. Deep breaths, I know it hurts." He said soothingly. Charlie squeezed his hand's. "W-We can't let R-Ricky near her.." Charlie gasped. "Charles, Ricky isn't going to come near her, okay? I won't let him, I promise. There is no way that he is gonna come near her. Never ever." Ryan promised, as he pulled Charlie onto his lap.

"We should stop worrying, babe. I know it's only two months away, but, Ricky is the other side of town, in a jail cell that's locked up. The only people who go in and out to him are your mom and dad and they only go solely based on the fact that he is their son. Look, if you want to, after the baby is born and you're feeling up to it, we'll ask my mom or someone to babysit her, and we'll go talk to him, okay? You don't have to, but, I can tell you miss him." Ryan said, hugging her tightly with one arm and placing his free hand on Charlie's stomach.

He felt a small kick press up against the palm of his hand, he smiled. Charlie winced.

"I assume you felt that too?" She asked. Ryan giggled. "I sure did, love. By the way, should we call the other two over and ask about them being the god parents? I know we're not raising the child catholic of anything but we agreed that it'd be good for someone to be there if anything should happen." Ryan said. Charlie nodded. "Yeah, sure! I'll call her if you'll call him." She said. Ryan nodded. "Totally. Let's go so."

Charlie got up, and walked down the stairs, and into the kitchen, and out the back door. She dialed her friend's number. She picked up instantly.

"Hey Charles, is everything okay?" They said.
"Hi! Yeah, everything's good. But, uh.. could you come over? I need to tell you something." Charlie replied.
"Yeah, of course! I'll be over soon." They said and hung up.

When Charlie walked back into the kitchen, Ryan was stood there. "What did he say?" She asked. "He'll be over soon. What about her?" "She'll be here in a bit."

There was a knock at the door. "It can't be them already, can it?" Ryan asked. Charlie shook her head. "No way!" She said, and walked over to the door, opening. "SURPRISE MOTHER FUCKER!!" Someone yelled. "HEYYY CHARLES!" Another voice sounded.
"HOLA AMIGO!"

"ASPEN, JAYDEN, NOAH!!" Charlie yelled, and hugged them people who were at the door. Ryan walked out to Charlie, and the people called Aspen, Jayden and Noah.

"Ryan! How's it goin' man?" Aspen said and they done that weird guy hug. "Hey dude. Everything's good, hows everyone?" He replied, and the two fell into conversation, leaving Charlie, Jayden and Noah to talk amongst themselves.

"Dude How haven't you killed Ricky yet?" Aspen asked. Ryan sighed. "Trust me, if I ever get my hand's on that kid, I'll be the one in jail, never mind him."

"I call dibs on being your celly."

Ryan laughed.

"So.. are you excited to see the baby properly?"
"Fuck yeah I am! I mean, who wouldn't be?"
"That's true, dude. Congrats again by the way."
"Thanks, Asp. It mean's a lot."
"How much longer?"
"Ah.. two months. But they are dragging so much."
"I get that. I was the same with my brother."
"Yeah, it's fucking tedious."
"Was there any damage done? To the baby??"
"No, thank god. The doctor was shocked."
"Oh? Why so?"
"Charlie fell that awkwardly the kid could've died."
"Whoa..."

Aspen, Jayden and Noah stayed for an hour and a half. Then, Ryan and Charlie sat on the couch, together. They hadn't done that in a while and it was nice to do it again.

Charlie rested her head on Ryan's chest. She wrapped her arms around him and closed her eyes, listening to his soft heart beat. Although it seemed weird, it calmed her down. Ryan awed quietly, and took a picture of the top of Charlie's head on his chest, but at an angle where her baby bump was visible.

He posted the picture to his instagram, captioned:

Two months until we meet our babygirl. Thank you all for the amount of love and support that you've sent, I don't think that I have ever known a more supportive fanbase, thank you guy's. By the way; to anyone who believes the baby is a boy, they are a girl. Again; thank you guy's for the support, and for all of you that have been asking: Charlie isn't in too much pain, she's okay. We will post pictures when our baby is born, but until then, we will keep you guys updated. Thank you, Creatures <3

Charlie shifted as her phone buzzed from Ryan tagging her in the post. "It's okay, Charles. It's just me, okay?" Ryan said, softly. Charlie nodded, and sat up, rolling her eyes.

As if on cue, there was a knock at the door. "It's open!" Charlie called. Both Ryan and Charlie knew who it was. The door opened and two people walked in.

"Hey, sorry we're late. We stopped for ice cream!"

"It's okay, Ky." Charlie giggled and hugged her friend. Ryan got up and done another weird man hug with Vinny. When they all sat down, Vinny and Kylie looked scared. "I'm not sacked, am I?" Vinny asked, scared. Ryan laughed. "God, no" he replied.

Kylie looked at Charlie. "What's up?"

Ryan looked at Charlie, and nodded.

"Well, we wanna ask you something. We aren't raisisng our baby Christian, but there is one 'christian' tradition that we would like to keep on. We've known you two longer than we've known the others.. only by a bit, but.. we were wondering if you guy's would be the babies god parent's?"

Vinny's jaw dropped, and Kylies eyes filled with tears. "TraP DeMoN iS GONNA HAVE A GODDAUGHTER." Vinny cried.

Kylie just cried.

"I assume, you're both saying yes so?" Ryan giggled, and the two nodded and high five'd each other. The four did a group hug. "Thank you, guy's." Vinny smiled.

"Thank you." Ryan said.

"and now we wait.." Charlie sighed.
