Change of plans

Two weeks later was moving day. I got up and six throwing up, ate breakfast, then threw that up, and quickly threw on some clothes. Ryan was coming to my house first in his truck to get my things. He arrived at seven and him and his brother Chris loaded my things in his truck. Since I was pregnant and couldn't do heavy lifting, I supervised.

I said goodbye to my dad and we drove to the new house. Mr. Sutton and Ryan's other brother Stephen were there with some of Ryan's stuff. Mrs. Sutton was inside vacuuming. I started helping her tiddy up while the boys brought some boxes in. At about 11 o'clock, Ryan and Stephen went back to their house to get the rest of Ryan's things. Mr. Sutton and Chris went to their storage unit to get some furniture for Ryan and I. Mrs. Sutton and I finished cleaning and went to Subway to get lunch for all of us at 11:30.

We all took a break as soon as Mrs. Sutton and I got home and ate lunch. Ryan and I discussed where some of the funiture would go, Stephen and Chris kept trying to push each other into the pool, and Mr. and Mrs. Sutton chit chatted at out outside table.

The rest of the day went by quick and before Ryan and I knew it, we were all moved in. His family left at nine o'clock t night and Ryan and I laid on the couch. At ten, we realized we didn't have any food. We decided to go grocery shopping.

I drove us the Safeway in my car. We stocked up on as much as we could and used Ryan's money to pay for everything. We filled my car up with gas and then made it home by eleven.

We finally crashed on our new king size bed at eleve thirty and fell asleep in each other's arms.

The next morning, I woke up vomitting, like usual. Ryan was already up but still heard me from downstairs.

"You OK?" He asked, rushing into our bathroom.

"Yeah." I muttered, whipping my mouth. I walked into our room and laid down.

Ryan kissed my forehead. "Do you want me to make you breakfast?"

"No, thanks. I'm good right now." I replied.

My phone buzzed on the dresser. I grabbed it and stared at the screen. "Crap... It's Gabby. I haven't talked to her in ages!" I said to myself.

Ryan let out a small laugh. "W-what?"

"Nothing." I laughed too. "It's Gabby. I feel bad, I haven't talked to her in a long time.

"Well, read the message!" He exclaimed.

I clicked 'read' on my phone and read aloud. "I know your busy so call me when you have time." I looked up. "I'll call her now. Go, Ryan."

Ryan nodded and walked out of the room.

The phone rang twice and then Gabby answered. "Hey, bitch! You finally called me!"

I laughed a little. "Hey... What's up?"

"I miss you, that's all." Gabby answered me. "You hang out with Ryan 24/7 now so I never see you. What have you been up to?"

I swallowed nervously. "Um... well..."

"Your not pregnant, are you?" Gabby joked. "Just kidding, that would never happen. You too much of a good girl." She laughed again. "Wouldn't that be hilarious, though! I wonder what Ryan would do? Dump you probably. He's not man enough to raise a kid." She paused and listened for me to say something. "Evelyn? Are you there?"

"Actually..." I said madly. "I am pregnant. No joke." I let out a sigh. "And Ryan is a man. We moved in together. He's nice and says he's going to be here for me and our baby."

Gabby was dead silent.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, Gabby." I continued. "I'm just scared about... everything."

"You can't be that scared." She shot back at me. "You moved in with him, for god's sake!"

My heart sank a little bit. Was this really Gabby?

She was quiet.

"What's going on with you?" I asked. "Your being all bitchy and weird right now."

Gabby snorted. "Excuse me for stating my opinion, but that's how I feel."

"Gabby..." I whispered into the phone. "What are you saying? I'm supposed to be your best friend."

"If you were really my best friend, then you would have told me sooner." She yelled at me. "Have a nice life with your little boyfriend and baby!"

She hung up on me.

I sat there for a moment in awe. I almost thought she would call back saying just kidding and that was all an act and she didn't mean it. But Gabby didn't. She was serious. That hurt. Tears formed in my eyes but I didn't want to cry. I wiped them away quickly.

I heard Ryan's footsteps and then he knocked on the door. "Evelyn?" He called.

"Y-yeah?" I replied. "C-coming, Ry!"

Ryan walked in and saw the tears. "What happened?"

"She's just a bitch." I said looking down. "Forget her. I'm OK. After all, I have you."

He smiled. "What'd she say?"

I shrugged. "Stuff... I don't want to talk about it..."

"OK, OK." Ryan kissed my cheek. "Let's eat."

I followed Ryan downstairs.
