You never realize how much you have till you lose it. Well in my case, You never realize how much you have until you get it. I couldn't bring myself to go down stairs and see everyone. Now what would Mark and Stormie think of me, Did they hate me for causing this? were they upset with Ross? As much as I wanted to stay up in this small room, I needed to go down there and talk with them. I don't know what will happen, but I can hope for the best. I sucked in a sharp breath before opening the door and quietly making my way down stairs.
"I can't believe I was so stupid. Guys what am I supposed to do? I don't want to kill a baby, and I know Sky feels the same way. I'm not fit to be a father! I can't believe I let this happen." Ross' whimpers filled my ears. I made it to the middle step and looked ahead of me. Ross sat on the couch with his knees pulled up to his chest and hands covering his face. Rydel, Rocky, Riker, Ryland and Ellington sat around him trying to comfort him. "I ruined her! Guys I ruined her, I let her down and now... now I don't know what to do." He gasped for air, his head shot up as he looked at them with wide, red eyes. "What if she hates me!?" more tears poured down his cheeks, he dropped his head back into his hands and cried more. I bit my lip and walked down the steps. Everyone looked up at me besides Ross who didn't even realize I was there. I gave them a small smile and walked up to Ross, I gently set my hand onto his shoulder and the other stroked his hair.
"I could never hate you Ross." My voice was quiet. He looked up at me in realization of who was trying to comfort him. "Don't blame yourself for this. it's on both of our shoulders, I will always love you Ross. No matter what." I told him, he gave me a weak smile before pushing himself up and pulling me into a warm, loving hug.
"I'm sorry baby. I love you with all my heart." he murmured.
"Don't be sorry. I love you too." I pulled away from him and gently pressed my lips to his. This kiss didn't last long, before Mark walked into the room. I pulled away from Ross and looked at him, his eyes met mine before looking down at my stomach. Stormie walked in behind him and did the same.
"good morning." I nearly whispered.
"have you decided what you two are going to do?" Mark spoke sternly.
"what do you mean?" I asked.
"are you getting an abortion?" Marks eyes were cold against mine. I know he is pissed. I hated the idea, or even the word itself. Abortion was no option, it was killing another being. even if it was my last option I'd never even consider it.
"no." I said before anyone could speak.
"Skylar you have to go to college, your too young to be a mother. you two arn't ready." Mark grumbled.
"I decided I'm not going to college, I decided before I found out about this." I know I'm speaking to Ross' parents, but if they think I am going to kill my own child they thought wrong.
"you're not ready to be a mother. you are far from ready. your young, naive, and selfish for deciding this on your own." Mark yelled at me.
"Dad shut u-" Ross began but I soon cut him off.
"Maybe I am selfish for deciding this. But I'm not going to kill my own child, this is not your choice. weather you like it or not I will not have an abortion." I raised my voice slightly. Everyone was taken back by my outburst.
"fine. then Ross.' Mark paused and looked at him. 'is no longer allowed to be with you." Everyone's jaw dropped including Stormie's.
"Fuck no. I'm the father of this baby, and I love Skylar. You will not tell me what I will and will not do!" Ross yelled at him.
"and I'm your father. so yes I will. Skylar go get your stuff." he told me. I nodded and turned around.
"gladly." I mumbled as I stormed upstairs. I quickly shoved all my clothes into a bag, dumped my make up inside, took all of my accessories. then stopped to look in the mirror. Was I really letting this happen? The bedroom door opened and Ross ran to me.
"I'm not letting him split us up again." he gulped while wrapping his arms tightly around me.
"he's not going to let me stay. Or let you leave. It's okay Ross, maybe he'll see how breaking us up won't help us. Just give it some time." I sighed.
"what no. I can't do that. I won't do that. I need you, and you need me. the baby needs me. Skylar please." Ross got down on his knees and held my hands. "please don't do this. I'm begging you." seeing him like this brought tears to my eyes. I nodded and covered my mouth with my hand as I began sobbing once again. Ross wrapped his arms around me and tightly pulled me into his chest. As I continued to sob into his chest I heard the door open, I glanced over to see Mark standing there.
"I know Mark. I just can't." I squeaked and buried my face into Ross' chest. His grip tightened around me.
"Dad please. Don't do this to us. Don't you remember what happened last time. If it didn't work before It won't work now. it will only hurt us. Please Dad, I need her more than anything. She needs me, and weather you like it or not so does our baby. I can't live without her." Ross sniffled and moved his face into the crook of my neck. he placed a small kiss and sobbed along with me. "I need you." Ross croaked.
Another pair of arms wrapped around us, making Ross and I look up. It was Mark.
"you're right. I'm sorry. You two do need each other, I was to pissed off to see it. I truly am sorry." I smiled and let out a joyful cry.
"thank you!" Ross and I both said and hugged him tightly.
After Ross and I had calmed down all of us sat on the couch to watch a movie. I don't think anyone really watched it, we all mostly talked.
"so Skylar." Riker smiled at me.
"yeah?" I chuckled. Ross and I were laying together on the largest couch. I was on the outside, Ross had one arm under me, gripping my waist tight. and the other laid on my stomach.
"what do you think you will name it?" He asked.
"yeah like if its a girl!?" Delly giggled.
"or a boy." Ross added.
"oh... I don't know. I haven't put much thought into it. Plus it's both parent's decsion." I smirked elbowing Ross gently in the ribs. He grinned and kissed my cheek.
"so your positive you want this?" Mark asked again.
"honestly..." I sighed and looked at Ross. His smile dropped as he looked away. Maybe... just maybe this will be my key to happiness... "yes." Ross looked back up at me with a small smile. "I can admit I didn't at first. But now yes. I'm positive." Ross pulled me closer to him and pressed our lips together making all of his family aw.
"wow it's getting late. All of you off to bed now. Remember we have to get up for the show tomorrow." Stormie chuckled.
"show?" I wondered.
"oh yeah, were going on good morning America tomorrow morning." Rocky informed me.
"oh nice." I smiled and got up with Ross. We walked into what we now called our room and locked the door, even though we wern't planning on doing anything. Ever since Rocky walked in we've been locking it. I walked over to the dresser and pulled out a pair of jogging pants.
"no." Ross whispered in my ear as he snatched them away from me.
"why not?" I giggled as his left arm wrapped around me.
"because, just wear this." he said moving away from me and pulling his shirt over his head. I nodded and took his shirt. He walked over to the bed, stripped down to just his boxers and climbed under the sheets. I pulled off my pants, and slid my shirt over my head then slipped into Ross'. I turned around to find Ross watching me with a smirk playing across his lips. I laughed while shaking my head at him and climbing in bed. He shut off the bed side light and moved closer to me. "I love watching you undress. it's so... sexy." He smiled against my neck.
"oh shush it babe." I giggled and kissed his cheek. I rested my head on his chest and listened to the soothing beats of his heart.
"it only beats for you." Ross whispered, I looked up at him with a smile and pecked his lips. "I love you so much baby."
"I love you too Ross." I said while resting my head against his chest again. After a moment of silence Ross spoke again.
"if its a girl... what do you want to name it?" he calmly asked. I looked up at him resting my hand against my cheek.
"I don't know... I've always loved the name Kennedy." I shrugged.
"Kennedy it is." Ross giggled. "what about a middle name?" I thought for a moment.
"I don't know yet."
"how about Nicole?" Ross smirked. I nodded and pecked his lips.
"I like it. but what if it's a boy?" I wondered.
"what kind of boys names do you like?"
"I don't know. Colton maybe." Ross' eyes lit up.
"I love that name! you pick the middle one." I grinned and nodded.
"how about Shor."
"I love it babe!"
"Kennedy Nicole Lynch for a girl, Colton Shor Lynch for a boy. Sounds perfect." I gleamed.
"your so perfect baby." Ross told me. I shook my head.
"not even close babe. let's go to bed." I said laying back down against his chest.
"you are to me, and you will always be. I love you so much Skylar. goodnight baby girl." He whispered as he gently moved his hand up the shirt and onto my stomach.
