Andy's POV

I sat next to Reya, who slumped into the chair beside me, and we all passed around the small white boxes of Vietnamese food.


"Ok, take whatever you kids want. I got Sweet and Sour chicken, General Sow, some peanut butter chicken kabobs, beef sticks, brown fried rice, and some steamed dumplings. Dig in!" mom said.

I took a little bit of everything since Reya loves Vietnamese food. It was absolutely amazing. We all laughed while Mom and Dad were telling us the story of how they met when they were younger and some of the wild experiences they had early in their marriage, relationship, and the crazy times raising me. Reya almost spit out her food in laughter when dad told us the time he was taking care of me on his own for the first time as a baby and I spit up on his back. He didn't know then to have a towel on his shoulder. Apparently he called mom while freaking out. Mom was just beginning to tell us the story about how I scared her one afternoon after making some videos with my old friend Chance and I was dressed like the demon barber. Reyas phone began to ring, and her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as she looked at the screen. "Um...I'm sorry guys, I've gotta take this. Excuse me." She jumped up and went to the living room.

"No idea what that's about," I said as I stabbed a dumpling and put it in my mouth.

"It's about four in LA isn't it?" mom asked.

"Yeah," I mumbled through my stuffed mouth. "Probably John or someone talking about her music soon. She's had a bunch of really amazing ideas lately. She's barely been able to sleep with the excitement. Her backs been bothering lately so she stayed up to write some new stuff that she emailed John this morning."

"Hmmm," my dad said as he stood. "I'm gonna go use the bathroom."

My mom and I joked about my dads age affecting his bladder. I really missed being around my mom, her laughter was wonderful and shed always been such a free spirit. My dad came back furious looking.

"I told you Andy! She's pregnant! I just overheard her on the phone telling someone that she was gonna go get tests because you were too stupid to be protected! I knew you lied!" he fumed.

"Chris! Sit down a moment," Mom said gently, "Now what?"

I looked over to see Reya stepping in the room teary eyed, eyes locked on her keyboard. She glanced up, and froze in the doorway.


Reyas POV
My phone starting ringing, it was Siren. I saw I had three missed texts from her. I apologized and excused myself to the living room. I could hear sobbing on the other end.

"Siren? Are you OK?"

"I-I...I can't believe...and he...and I...and uahhhh," she cried on the other end.
"Did he cheat on you?!" I asked.

"Nooo...well...and I told him...and-and.."

"Siren, calm down. I can't understand you. Take a deep breath."
"It's...it's...positive," she sobbed.

"What is positive?"

"Me...The test."

It hit me. Siren was talking about a pregnancy test. Siren was going to be a mother...and she didn't seem too happy about that. "Oh my...Siren...are you OK?" I could only hear her sniffling. "Siren. I'm here. Does Ash know?" She whimpered in reply. "I'm taking that as a no. Sweetie, you need to tell him. You're already engaged. It's not a huge deal. You're just starting your family...early. And I'll be here for you through everything with you if he's too chicken. You're going to be a wonderful mother."

"How...," she snuffed. "How can I tell him?"

"Did anything happen...were you off your birth control? Did you not use...ya know." Silence. I sighed and she did too.

"Ok where are you?"

"My parents house. Ash went to his parents house so I did too and it was just this one time we didn't be safe."

"Yeah, he didn't use a condom. I'll buy some more tests to be sure. I'll be there soon OK? We need to know for sure, because the last thing we need is for us to be all worked up. It'll only stress him out. Look we are engaged, so I guarantee he won't freak out. But I'll talk with Andy and see how he feels about it before we make any crazy decisions ok?"

"OK. Thank you," she cried.

I hung up and returned to the room, holding back tears. I was nearing an anxiety attack. I was texting Siren to tell her i loved her and she would be fine. I was surprised to find a bunch of wide judging eyes from everyone in the room. My muscles tensed and I felt my stomach flip.

Andy looked at me, "Babe what's going on?"

"Yeah, Reya. Why doesn't you tell us the news?" Chris egged on.
I had no idea what he was talking about.

"It all adds up now. She's been tired. Her backs been hurting. Shes been awake at night. Andy you didn't even think to be smart!" he continued. "I can't believe this! Shes pregnant!"

My eyes teared up as the anxiety attack began to set in. I felt my lip begin to quiver and my body begin to shake. Andy jumped up from his seat, the legs scraping the floor as he pulled me into his grasp.

"Whoa, easy Reya. It's OK. Don't do this," he said.

I tried all I could to relax, but this was a severe attack. My knees began to buckle and Andy knew exactly what to do. He helped me to the floor and rested me on my side while holding my hands in his. I closed my eyes and he continued to talk to me until my shaking stopped a few moments later. My breathing settled and Andy helped me get back up and brought me to the table. I wiped my eyes, "I'm not pregnant. My best friend might be." I looked to Andy. "Ashley wasn't being protected with Siren and she thinks she is pregnant." I looked to his parents. "I assure you, Andy and I are safe. I hope you don't think that I'm an easy girl. Andy and I've been together for a few years and weve only...been together like that a handful of times. And even when we have we are always protected. Andy's been my only partner and I don't want kids, anytime soon at least."

Amy gave Chris an accusatory glare, "Chris...what do you have to say."

He mumbled a sorry and walked into the other room. Andy sighed and went after him.

I put my hands in my hair and put my head down on the table. Amy placed a tender hand on my back. "How about we have a girls day tomorrow? We can get our nails done, I want to get my hair recolored, and we can get a coffee or go shopping?"

I looked up and gave her a smile, "I'd love that." I stood up and gave her a hug. "I'm gonna go to bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, sweetie," she said, turning back to the kitchen.

I walked up the stairs and sat on the end of Andy's bed. I looked around, then the thought struck me...Andy and I hadn't used a condom earlier. Oh fuck. I mentally hit myself on the head. I shook my head and walked over to my suitcase and sat beside it next to the bed. I dug around for my pill bag. I pulled out a small tablet that was in an individual wrapper. It was Plan B. I looked down at my stomach, realizing I was no where near ready to be a mother. I popped out the tablet and swallowed it. I was glad I decided to get that, in case a condom ever broke or in this case, we got so caught up it wasn't even thought of. I didn't really want to be on birth control. But I did have to protect myself too. I heard footsteps on the stairs and Andy entered the room, closing the door behind him. He sat on the bed looked down at me beside my suitcase. "Andy, that conversation got me thinking...we forgot something earlier." He looked confused. I sighed and pulled out a condom from the same case and held it up.

Andy's face blanked. "Oh fuck."

I held up the small wrapper, "I already took it, but we have to be more careful, OK?" I tossed it back into the suitcase and laid on the bed, Andy laying back so we were laying face to face on his pillows.

"So, Siren and Ash?"

"Yeah," I exhaled. "She's really torn up and scared. She hasn't told Ash and she's freaking out."

"I think he'll be scared at first and then be excited. He's always wanted his own family, believe it or not."

"Do you?" I questioned, innocently looking in his eyes.

He smiled at me, kissing my lips once and snaking his arms around me. "Of course I do. I love when Kellin and Matty bring their kids around. They seem so complete and happy. But, I know this isn't the right time for us. Not now, but one day," he said, putting one cool hand under my shirt and on the center of my stomach, "One day, we will have a little rock star or punk princess in there."

My face turned up in a smile, matching his. The thought of Andy running around on his gazelle legs in the back yard of our house with a little boy who looked just like him, with my green eyes, and him holding a little girl, with piercing blue eyes who was cowering into his side, but he held her hand and made her wave to me, where I was on the back porch. My life would be perfection. Andy made it that way.
