sophia

it's been at least over two hours now. everyone was singing 'happy birthday' to alyssa including myself as i held the birthday cake for her to blow while everyone crowded around me on the dance floor and flashlights beaming in my eyes from their devices. i smiled and everyone cheered as she blew the candles out. she took the cakes in her hands then i went around to her side and hugged her kissing her on the cheek.

"happy birthday wife" i smile. she laughs at my comment. we pose for a few more photos taken by others.

"thanks bitch" she says. i take the cake from her and place it on the set up table with the desserts. i feel the sudden urge to go pee and if i don't, i will probably piss myself and break my back soon but i need to let my boyfriend know. i end up caving my way through the drunken crowd as i protect my belly with my arms. i find ryland talking to charlotte d'alessio, kaia gerber, presley gerber and zack bia.

"hey" i smile standing next to ryland. they all smile. "i haven't seen you guys yet" i speak to kaia and charlotte as we hug.

"i know, i was trying to find you but there's so many people and then we saw you when we were singing to lyss" charlotte tells me. they both lock their gaze on my belly.

"oh my god. when are you due?!" kaia exclaims rubbing my belly.

"he or she is due in september. september fifth is the date" i answer. they both gape probably at the fact that i don't know my baby's gender yet.

"you don't know the gender yet?!" charlotte exclaims. i laugh shaking my head. i don't even think i've invited them yet.

"no, my baby shower next week. you should come. i'll text you guys the address. and of course presley and charlotte too" i say. charlotte lawrence is their best friend who is a singer.

"yeah, for sure. i can't wait. any name ideas?" kaia smirks. oh i have a very long list. i'm so excited.

"i have a few in mind" i smile.

"aw, i'm so happy for you" kaia smiles hugging me. i smile, hugging back. she really is a sweetheart. i met her like last year through madison.

"thank you hun, i'm gonna go to the bathroom. i'll be back" i say. she nods.

"did you need me to come?" kaia asks. i nod turning to ryland and place my hand on his shoulder.

"i'm going to the bathroom, i need to pee" i say. he nods putting his beverage on the round table and intertwined our hands.

"i'll take you" he says shouting over the music. i shake my head. he gets very protective for me and my child around this environment.

"it's okay. kaia and charlotte are taking me. i'll be fine. the bathroom is very open with a lot of people anyway" i say. what i meant was that the bathrooms weren't in dimly lit hallways with no one in them, clubs would always have those type of bathrooms and i'd be scared to go in there even with ryland but this venue had very nice bathrooms.

"are you sure?" he asks searching for my eyes. i nod and peck him on the lips. the girls and i make our way to the bathroom. kaia and charlotte nicely stood on each side of me making sure no one would bump into my baby.

we got to the bathrooms and there was thankfully no line as most girls were just fixing their makeup and hair or taking photos. after i was done, i said hi to a few girls while kaia and charlotte were taking photos so i joined.

"ready?" kaia asks me. i nod as they held the door open for me. i kept my hands on my belly as we walked out of the bathroom area but we were interrupted.

"sophia?" an all too familiar voice spoke. i stopped dead in my tracks. fuck. he's here in front of me. please tell me i'm dreaming.

i felt kaia and charlotte stop next to me, i could tell they felt awkward too. i looked up and looked him dead in the eye. it's like we were in our own little bubble having an intense staring contest.

my heart was going to fly out of my chest, i felt my breathing quicken, my hands shake and my forehead sweat. fuck.

"soph?" kaia spoke. "do you need me to get ryland for you? water?" she asks. i silently shake my head and swallow a lump that's been forming in my throat. i look at both of them.

"no, it's fine. i'll catch up with you both later" i say. they nod and walk off. the music was still loud and vibrating the walls. shawn looked around impatiently biting his tongue.

"oh um, wow...congratulations" he stutters referring to my baby. our baby. i pull a fake smile and clear my throat. fuck. his eyes were glued to my stomach as he stared in disbelief and an emotion i couldn't really describe.

tell him sophia, fucking tell him. blurt it out.

no, i can't. this isn't the right place to say it. i can't say it now. wrong timing. "thank you" he locked his eyes somewhere else. my eyes followed his gaze, a door to the staff room. what the hell is he thinking?

"can we talk? somewhere quiet?" he asks unsure. i open my mouth to speak but close them.

"i'm sorry, ryland's probably looking for–"

"please?"

a/n; do you think sophia will go and talk to him?

& most importantly will she tell him the truth?
