Jo's POV
Three weeks later
Honolulu, HI

"You okay honey?" Ryan asks and I nod as I wait for the pregnancy test result.

"No matter what it is, I'm gonna be here Jo." Ryan whispers as I pace the bathroom.

Finally three minutes are up and I grab the test and see that it's negative.

"I'm not pregnant." I say and he nods as he hugs me. For some reason, I start to cry.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Ryan asks and I shrug.

"I guess I thought I was because my period is late as hell and then I get a negative." I say and he smiles as he takes me to the bed and holds me.

"Do you want to try again?" He asks and I look at him.

"Do you?" I ask  and he chuckles.

"I wouldn't mind trying again, but I want to be sure that you want this." He says and I smile as I nod.

"I would love to try again next month." I say and he smiles as he kisses me gently.

We both head out to the Honolulu Beach and see them setting up the stage for tonight.

I decide I want ice cream and head to the ice cream stand nearby and get both Ryan and I one.

As we eat our ice cream, we cuddle a little bit before we see Dad and Avril coming over to us.

I notice that Avril seems uncomfortable with the relationship between Ryan and I and try to move away from Ryan, only for him to hold me closer.

"I do not care if she's uncomfortable. Her opinion doesn't matter to me." Ryan mumbles as we eat our ice cream.

Soon it's time for Ryan to head to the hotel to get ready for the show and I get to the stage to get Dad's guitars in tune.

As I'm tuning his custom Dark Horse guitar, I hear someone clear their throat behind me and turn to see Avril there.

"Oh hey Av. Can I help you with something?" I ask as I glare at the POS in my hands.

"How can you think it's okay to date someone your fathers age openly?" She asks and I groan.

"Avril, age is just a number as long as the younger is legal and consenting." I say and she rolls her eyes.

"I overheard you guys earlier talking about trying for a baby. When is this supposed to happen?" She asks and I sigh as I put the POS down and look at her.

"Two things to start off: one, you're not my mother. Don't act like it. Two, I'm 20. I'll be 21 next April. I'm old enough to do what I want with my life." I say and she walks off as I pick POS back up and try to tune it.

As the concert goes on, I feel cramps and groan as I realize my period has begun and go to the nearest bathroom and sigh as I put new panties on and change into sweats.

I text Dad that I'm heading back to the hotel for the night due to my cycle and head back.

I clean myself up and take a couple Midol before going to sleep.

I awaken to Ryan coming in and he sees the heating pad on my abdomen and he sighs as he pulls me into a hug and rubs my belly gently as he holds me for the night.
