"You sure about this?" Ryder asks me while looking down at his phone

I nod "I mean the idiots mightn't even understand the posts but at least we tried" I joke

I look down at our phones once more. Ryder and I decided the easiest way to tell people about the baby was just to post on our socials. We decided instead of directly posting a picture of me and the bump we'd use pictures we took of us when we were babysitting Oliver yesterday

I was posting a picture of Ryder and Oli while he posted one of me and Oli both of us using the caption 'not long before we have one of our own #almost5months'

"Ready?" He asks

I nod "as I'll ever be" I press the post button on the top right corner before putting my phone down on the window. Ryder does the same and we go back to painting. We decided on painting the nursery a light grey because neither of us wanted to know the gender of the baby.

"How's Sean?" I ask after a few minutes

"He's good, Molly seems to be keeping him pretty happy lately"

"Oh yeah, you never told me what you knew last week" I turn towards him

"I met Molly the first day Sean went into hospital, I told him to wake up because his nurse was his type" he smirks "I was right as always"

Realisation dawns on me "that's why he said you got your type pregnant, he heard you"

Ryder nods "hence how he knew you were pregnant"

After a few seconds I yawn and Ryder crosses his arms "go get some rest Tal, I'll finish up in here"

I shake my head "I need to go meet Emily and mom at five"

"Even the more reason for you to get some sleep" he says "I'll wake you up in an hour then"

"Hey sweetie" mom says as I walk over to the table she's sitting at with Emily in a local cafe

"Hey" I say sitting down

"Nice tracksuit" Emily admires

"Thanks it's actually Ryders" I say "who knew his stretchy clothes would come in handy". Ryder let me wear one of his tracksuits because I forgot to bring spare maternity clothes for after painting. I also quickly straightened my hair and put on a light layer of makeup before I left.

"How's everything with you both getting on anyway?" Emily asks

"All I know is she's been spending a lot of time at his lately" mom excitedly tells her

The waitress walks over to us and we order before I turn back towards them "it's going fine, we're really good friends and we've just been busy doing up the nursery for when the baby comes"

"So are you planning on moving in there?" Mom asks

"I don't know" I shrug "we haven't planned that far"

"I seen your Instagram post how did that go down?" Emily asks

"Nobody's really sais anything thank god" Just then I get a message. I pick it up and my face drops "never mind"

I'm sure you already know, that's unless you're living under a rock that our number one 'fuckgirl' Talia Ramsay has finally admitted that she is in fact pregnant with our favourite Ryders baby

Well that's if she can prove it's his baby - you'd want to check that Ryder.

Or maybe she'd not pregnant and it's all the weight she's put on recently.

Whatever it is at least we know Ryders only friends with her because of the 'baby'. We personally can't wait to see her all by herself when the truth finally comes out

Xx

I roll my eyes but grin when I get a text from Ryder

Whoever runs that account needs to go back to grade school maths pretty sure we were friends before 5 months ago🤔

I type a reply

Can't believe your still talking to me now that the truth is out🤭

Ryder replies after a few seconds

You must have me wrapped around your middle finger🥵 I have to go to work, tell your fam I said hi

I type a quick reply before turning back to mom and Emily "Ryder says hi"

"Should've guessed that's who you were texting" mom grins

______________

School the next day went as expected - everyone stared but thankfully the cares I gave were non-existent

Ryder and I decided to go visit Sean together after school. When we get there, Mollys already there but instead of wearing her uniform she's in normal clothes. Sean was sitting in his wheelchair messing around while Molly lounged on his bed

"You too look very comfy" I grin walking in as Ryder closes the door behind us

Molly gasps straight away "you're pregnant"

Everyone apart from Molly starts laughing "you didn't notice?" Sean asks her

"I'm a rehab nurse not a midwife" she exclaims then turns back to me "congratulations"

"Thank you" I smile

"So have you guys done your wheelchair race?" Ryder asks

Sean nods with a smirk on his face

"When are you guys going for food?" I grin

"Friday" Molly tries but fails to hide her smile

"I told her I was a quick learner" Sean adds smirking

"You wanna go to the vending machine?" Ryder asks Sean "show me your skills"

Sean nods

I turn towards Molly once they've left "you totally left"

She shrugs a cheeky grin on her face "it was the most professional way to ask him out"

"I like your thinking" I grin "so how is everything health wise for him?"

"He still has a long way to go before he can walk again, but with his eagerness it wouldn't surprise me if he walks quicker than expected" She sits up on the bed "if you don't mind me asking, is Ryder your baby's dad? I mean Seans talked about you both so much but he seemed to forget the pregnancy part"

"Yeah he is, it wasn't planned and we're way better off as friends. I'm pretty sure this is the longest we've went without having a huge argument and ignoring each other for weeks"

Molly nods "Well I know so much about you let me introduce myself properly" she puts her hand out and I take it "I'm Molly Greene, I went to school when I was really young so I'm now a 19 year old nurse. I'm from Washington but I moved here last year because of this job opportunity and I'd really like if we could be friends"

I grin "I'd like that too"

"Well you two look like you've just had a heart to heart" Ryder says after walking back into the room

"You didn't get anything?"

"We we're thinking get take out instead"

"We'll go get it" Molly ans I say at the same time
