Another long day for Lillian, she walked out of the school building and she was eyed by her classmates. She lowered her head as she brushed her hair back behind one of her ears as she walked over to Ryan car.

"Dirty shank.", she heard Britney voice and she paused, turning her head around to see a grinning Britney. "Nice of you and Ryan to break Jeanette hearts, real low.".

Lillian was about to mention how Jeanette wasn't innocent, but where would that lead to? Her being known as a pregnant shank and a lair. No one would believe her over popular Jeanette. She turned her head back around and made her way over to the car, feeling a little low.

She should be excited though, Brad should be home when she gets there! It was his birthday Friday and she was excited to see him. She hasn't seen him since Christmas and at the time, they both didn't she was pregnant and everything was. . .normal. Aside from her guilt of sleeping with Ryan but she managed to forget about it while he was there.

When Lillian got to the car, she opened the passenger door and got in. Ryan put his phone down, "How was it?".

"Like yesterday.", she said. "Oh but I spent one time in the bathroom with only three minutes worth of crying."

He took her hand, "It'll get better."

"What a nice lie." she said and he was about to say something, but she shook her head, "No, Ryan. Lets just face the fact, it wont get better. But I'll learn to get over it. They're just bored with their lives and looking for someone to pick on. I just want to get home so I can see my brother and get over with telling him the news."

"Okay." he said, starting the car.

"Can you drop by Turkey Hill first, my mom asked me to pick up some ice cream on the way home." she said.

"Yeah, sure."

He pulled out of the school parking lot and drove away from the parking lot. She ran her finger threw her hair and sighed, wishing these days would be so depressing at school. If it's this bad, it'll only get worse if Jeanette comes back cause she can't miss three days worth of school without a doctor notes and Lillian doubts she's sick.

After a few moments, Ryan pulled into the parking lot of Turkey Hills and Lillian started to unbuckle her seat beat until Ryan stopped her and she looked up at him confused, "I'll go in.", he said and she shrugged, reaching into her bag and give him the five dollars, telling him to get anything that chocolate kind.

She started changing the radio channels, looking for some music to listen to when heard Ryan phone go off pretty loudly and she jumped, grabbing it so she could stop the Rap song. When she went to press ignore, she saw who it was from

Jeanette.

She didn't even have to press read to see it said, 'Be over in an hour and half'

Lillian chest sunk into her stomach and she suddenly felt sick. What is this?, she questioned and she clicked read to see what they were talking about, but his sent box was empty was empty. Is he still seeing her? Did he lie to her--to both of them? Or does she knows and they're laughing at her after dropped her off ever since Saturday? She wanted to cry at how easily and quickly everything that seems okay with them would be ruined with just a text message but Ryan came out the store and she quickly put the phone down, blinking and fighting back the tears she so want to let go.

He got back in and placed the bag that had the ice cream on her lap. She lowered her head as he drove out of the parking lot and brought her hand up to her eyes, wiping away a tear that escaped. Fight it, Lil, she demanded herself.

Of course he'll still want her; she pretty, popular, amazing, and not pregnant. Her eyes stung with me more tears and trying so much harder to hold them back.

Maybe the realization caught up with him, knowing how much of a mistake being with her and this baby is. He's probably only wants to stick around for the baby, thinking he's doing a good deed. Who wouldn't want to be with Jeanette Mitchell anyways?

When Ryan finally pulled up to her house, he parked the car with a grin on his face to kiss her, but she moved from him. He looked confused, "What's wrong?", he asked, leaning back away from her and that's when the tears came out.

"I don't know, how about you ask Jeanette about it?"she asked.

He looked away confused before turning back to her, "What?", he asked. "I don't know what your talking about."

She grabbed his phone and that it at his lap. As he went to his text messages, Lillian was grabbing her bag and the plastic bag. When she unlocked the door and opened it, Ryan said something, "Wait, Lil, it's not-" but she shut the door on before he could finish and started to her house when his door opened and slammed closed.

"Leave me alone, Ryan!", she told, more tears coming out.

She felt his hand grabbed her arm and turn her around, "Wait, it's not what it looks like."

"Your lying, Ryan!", she said. "What is she coming over for then--no, I don't even what to know why.", she hissed as she turned, but he turned her back around again and she had to place her hand on her belly since all that movement was kind of uncomfortable.

"Just let me speak!", he said. "She isn't coming over for what you think. She's just coming over to give me back my stuff she said she doesn't want and I'll give her back her stuff. It's just that, I promise. She'll be in and out.".

"I don't care, Ryan!", she said. "You should know Jean as well as I do. That's just her plan! She wants to get near you, find a way to sneak back to you and you two will be back together.", she said, snatching her arm out of his grasp and she turned around.

He groaned, "Lil, wait! I love you-" he said, grabbing her again but the front door of her house opened and her brother stepped out. He ran over to her, grabbing his sister protectively.

"What the hell going on?", he asked, looking back and forth to her and Ryan before he just settled on Ryan. "Who the hell are you?".

Ryan stuff his hands in his pocket, "Lillian's boyfriend.".

"Ex-boyfriend!" she hissed and he looked hurt.

Brad turned to look at her confused, "I didn't know you had a boyfriend, Lil. . .", he trailed off when his eyes lowered to her stomach that was kind of pressed against his waist and the baby moved a little. "Uuuuhhh, I mean, um. . ."

Her eyes watered up again as more tears came out, "I'm sorry, Brad. Wasn't my plan to tell you like this.", she said, stepping back and ran into her house, throwing her and the plastic bag down on the floor near the steps. She ran up the stairs and into her room.

Now it's all Ryan fault for ruining how she was going to tell him! Ryan will get back together with Jean and she'll be a single mom. And how could he lie to her when he said he loved her? Does he want to play with her mind that much!?

She pressed the side of her face deeper into the pillow, crying.

She heard Brad and Ryan arguing outside until Brad demanded Ryan to leave or else. Ryan didn't say anything, before saying 'fine' and leaving. She cried harder when he drove away.

A few moments passed when her door was knocked on, but he didn't wait for her to respond when her doors opened. She leaned her head up and wiped her eyes as she looked at Brad at her doors. They both didn't say anything, but he watched her belly.

"Do you hate me?" she asked.

He looked back up at her and sighed, "Of course not, Lil.", he said, walking over to sit next to her. "Okay, just to be sure; I know you can't just have gain that much weight in three months. So just answer me a yes or no. Are you pregnant?".

"Yes."

He closed his eyes and made a painful look, "And that guy--Ryan, he's the father?"

"Yes."

He opened his eyes, "How'd this happen?", he asked, placing his hand on her bump. "I mean, I know how it happened but how'd it happen to you?"

"Cause I'm stupid.", she said. "And a failure."

He nodded to her surprised, "Failure,
no, but stupid, a little. I mean, I always thought you would be the kind of girl to wait until. . . I don't know, until you were thirty to have a kids cause you talked about having a nice job by becoming a lawyer."

"I'm sorry if I ruined your vacation by this.", she said. "It just happened and we were safe but you know, it doesn't always work."

"I didn't even know you had a boyfriend? How long were you with him?", he asked and she bit her lower lip.

"I wasn't.", she said and he looked at her surprised.

"Lillian!"

"Wait!", she begged, sighing as she sat up and took off her sweater cause it was pretty warm in her house. She ran a hand threw her hair, "Look, it was a mistake. I got drunk one night with Jeanette and Ryan. Well, he was her boyfriend at the time."

"Lillian Monroe!" he yelled.

"I didn't know why I did it!", she said. "But it was that stupid heat of the moment! Yes, I got pregnant on my first time, everyone makes mistakes!" she said, getting up from her bed cause she was getting angry.

"One you'll have to live with for the next eighteen years!", he said. "You're just a kid yourself!"

"I know, Brad!", she said. "I didn't plan this or anything and we were safe. You think I wanted to get pregnant?"

He placed his hands on his face and ran them down his face, sighing, "Okay, I know you wouldn't try. Your smart and not stupid like that. I'm just. . .surprised. I mean, my baby sister pregnant! All I wanted to do was grab dad shot gun and shot that boy."

She crossed her arms and sat down next to him, "I'm sorry Brad, for yelling.".

"How far along are you?", he asked.

"Twenty two weeks.", she said.

"And you guys have kept this from me all this time until now?" he asked.

"Well, mom and dad found out when I was three and half months. I wanted to tell you myself in person, so don't blame them.", she said.

"Are you keeping it?", he asked.

"Yes.", she said.

"You know that's going to be hard right, Lil?", he asked.

"I know it's going to be hard.", she said. "But I think I'm strong enough to do it.'

"And what about him?", he asked, referring to Ryan. "And why were you to fighting?"

"He said he wants to and he even has a job interview Thursday. He wanted to be a family but while he was in the store getting ice cream for tonight, he got a text. From Jeanette, telling him she'll be over in an hour.", she said, wanting to cry, but she felt numb.

"What?", he asked, sounding angry. "That asshole, I kill him for you!"

She wanted to chuckled, but it just sounded humorless since it was, "Then I have no father for my child. He tried to say it was only for them to give each other stuff back but I know Jeanette. She's going to try to get back together with him and leave me and our baby.", she said, placing her hand on her bump and rubbed it.

"Do you love him?", he asked and tears finally stung in her eyes and she couldn't hold them

Her head dropped as she closed her eyes as tears came out. After a few second, she nodded and looked at him, "Yeah, I do. I love him but we never told it to each other. He tried just now but how am I suppose to believe him? Everything turning to complete crap. Everybody hates me at school and now I'll have to watch Ryan and Jeanette together again.".

Brad wrapped his arm around her shoulder, "You don't know that, Lil. Maybe Ryan wont give in and he really just want to be with you.", he said.

She shook her head, "I don't know but I guess I will tomorrow. I have never felt so hurt in my life."

"It's called a breakup.", he said. "But don't worry Lil, you still got me.".

"Do you still love me?", she asked.

He chuckled, "Of course I do! How could you ask me that? I'll love you even more if you name it after me if it's a boy.".

She chuckled and hit his arm, "Sorry, but there can only be one Bradley in this family."

He chuckled, "Okay, okay. I'll name my son Bradley if it's a boy.", he said and she looked at him confused.

"What?", she asked, smiling.

He smiled at her, "Yeah, Ashley two months. Which is why I wanted to come home so badly and she is downstairs in the kitchen with mom but I suppose my little sister beat us by having the first grandchild. Don't tell mom and dad, we haven't told them yet."

Ashley was Brads girlfriend of four years and Lillian was excited for them! She brought her hands up to her month before hugging him, "I'm so happy for you, Brad! Congratulation!".

He put a hand on her arm, "I guess congrates to you to is in order.", he said. He took his arm away from her and got up, "Come on, we can't be crying over guys while I'm here cause then I'll be tempted to kill someone. Mom is cooking dinner and I don't want my sister being alone and sad when we should be with her family.".

She smiled at her brother and got up, hugging him, "Thank you, Brad.".

He patted her back, "Welcome, Lil. Now do you know if it's a boy or girl?".

"No, not yet. Two weeks though.", she said, patting her belly.

"Lets just hope Cassandra wont be the next to end up pregnant.", he said.

"She's only twelve."

"Yeah and soon she'll be sixteen in four years. Those years will go by fast.", he said as they walked out of her room. He sighed, "The things that happen when I'm not home.".

They went down stairs and went into the kitchen where her mom gave her a worried look, but before she could say anything, Lillian raised her hand, "Everything fine right now. Don't want to talk about right now though.".

"Okay.", she said.

"Lillian Chelsea Monroe!", Ashley said in surprise. "Are you carrying a bun in the oven?", she asked, then her hand came up to her month. "Oh, sorry! I mean, not to sound mean or anything. I'm not calling you fat or anything-"

"It's okay, Ashley.", Lillian said. "Yes, I am having a baby.".

"Oh wow, what a surprise!", she said.

"Indeed it is.", she said, smiling at her suspiciously before glancing at her stomach before up at her and her cheeks blushed up.

While Lillian was setting up plates on the table, her phone in her back pocket vibrated and she grabbed it, seeing it was from Ryan. Curious got the better of her and she pressed answer,' You have to believe me, nothing will ever happen between Jeanette and me. I don't want her, but you and my child. Hope you'll forgive me for not telling you, just didn't want to worry you. I love you. Sorry I haven't told you before, I was just trying to find the right time to say it.'

Lillian sighed, not wanting to think about Ryan while her brother home until Sunday. She placed the plate down and sat down when the baby decided to kick a little hard this time. Does he really love me, she asked herself and deep down, she hoped he did and she can say it back to him soon.
