1 week later....

"Just let it all out. God got you." Queen latifah rubbed Ryan's arm.

"I'm sorry, Miss Carlotta, but I don't believe in God." Ryan Cried. Ryan chest tightened up, she couldn't breathe. "And... I lied... to Derek. I didn't have a miscarriage. I had an abortion. The doctor said he wasn't ever gonna walk again, so I didn't want to put any more pressure on him. So, I had to make a choice, but it was the right choice for me. And I know you don't understand, but..."

"No, I understand. I know what it's like to be alone and afraid. When I got pregnant with Cotton, I knew I couldn't raise a child, and I was about to do the same thing that you did."

"So why didn't you? God?"

"Sort of. You can't have an abortion in jail."

"If I tell Derek... He'll leave me. I know it." Ryan was thinking of Keith the whole time.

"You have to tell him. Before this thing breaks you. I know you don't believe in Him, but He believes in you." Those words were hitting Ryan hard, she wants to tell Keith but is scared of the outcome.

"You don't give up, do you?" Ryan calmed down as she stayed in character.

"Hell no."

"CUT!!" The director yelled and ran around the room. "And that's a rap people!" He stood on the chair and started clapping.

Everyone clapped and Ryan sat there whiping her face. Queen Latifah clapped and hugged Ryan. "Nice working with you kid, your gonna go places bigger than modeling and this right here."

"What do you mean?" Ryan asked Queen Latifah.

"That voice?" She nodded. "Your voice Ryan.. That alone is gonna take you so far."

"Thank you." Ryan smiled big. "That means alot to me."

"Congrats." Quincy clapped walking to us. Ryan was shocked he's here.

"Congrats to you too." Ryan smiled.

"You could've told me about the baby tho'." Quincy nudged her shoulder.

"Huh?" Ryan face dropped.

"It was my kid too." Quincy chuckled and walked away. "See you at the premiere Ryan."

"See ya." She said lowly and walked into her dressing room.

"Surprise!!"

Ryan flinched a bit and held her chest. She saw Keith, Walter, Monica and Ro' standing there with their arms open & huge smiles.
Ryan noticed the decorations and the confetti still falling to the floor.

"Wow.. thanks?" Ryan laughed a bit. She still needed to calm her nerves from crying, she's still shaking a bit.

"Congratulations on the wrap up of season 1." Walter walked over handing her a huge cupcake with a candle inside of it.

Ryan was shocked her mom was even in the same room as she was. She hasn't talked to her in forever. She glanced at everyone in the room and blew out the candle.

Keith hugged Ryan "congrats baby." He kissed her forehead.

Ryan broke down crying. "Im sorry." She cried into Keith's chest.

The room got silent. "What happened? Whats wrong?" Walter asked.

Ro' rubbed Ryan's back. "Babe ? What's wrong?" Keith asked her. Ryan wouldn't remove her face from Keith's chest.

"Come here. Give us a minute." Ro' pulled Ryan into a hug and Walt, Monica & Keith left out the room. Ryan cried to her mom. "Look at me." Ro' told her.
