My Bad Boy's Gang novel Chapter 35

"I'm------" Leah said then mumbling the last part, so I couldn't here.

"What"? I asked.

She looked up at me and sighed "I'm pregnant".

My eyes widened and jaw dropped "WHAT"?!

She nodded slightly "Yeah...".

"PREGNANT"?! I exclaimed and was in a state of shock.

"Rain...you have to promise me that you won't tell Ryker! Or any of the guys" She pleaded.

"I-I...Who's the dad"? I asked.

Leah doesn't have a boyfriend..so it must have happened from a one night stand.

"Do you remember last week when we all got back from the club and I was hammered"? She asked and I nodded slowly "Yeah..drunk is an understatement".

"Well I ended up spending the night in Craig's room, and one thing just kinda of led to another..." She trailed off.

My eyes widened and jaw dropped "Craig?! Craig is the Baby Daddy"?!

She sighed and looked off to the side "I hate that word, 'Baby Daddy'."

"I can't believe this" I muttered and ran a hand through my hair, and grabbed my skateboard out of the back of Liz's trunk "I'll see you guys later".

"Rain! Rain! Rain"! They yelled my name but I ignored it and skated down the road.

I can't keep this secret from Ryker..he's going to kill me once he finds out because he's going to know that I knew..

My mind flooded with thoughts, and I swerved through traffic of cars as I went through the city.

* * * * * * * * * *

I took a deep breath as I stared at the doors of my house, and stood on the top step as my hand clasped around the doorknob.

I opened it and it creaked open, and it was dead silent. It was odd, because the house use to always be filled with sounds. I stepped inside and a chill went up my spine.

"Dad"? I asked in a yell to see if he was home.

No answer.

I walked out back, and saw the pool opened up and I went to slip my converses off when a door slid open. I whirled around to see my dad.

"Are you trespassing"!? He yelled and I tensed up "No, I live here too.."

He clenched his jaw, and grabbed a trash bag that was sitting on the ground and walked up to me "Well if you live here, then you can take the trash out".

I swallowed hard and stared at him for a moment, then taking the trash bag and walking over to the gate and walking over to throw the trash away.

I kept glancing up from my textbook and at my dad who was chopping up some vegetables. I was at the island counter doing some homework, and my dad was making dinner.

We were both dead silent, and he hasn't said anything.

Something's not right..

"So...Rowan called.." My dad trailed off as he broke the silence. My eyes widened and my heart stopped as I dropped my pencil and head snapped up to him.

Rowan is my mom.

"What"!? I exclaimed and, he nodded as he continued to chop up a tomato "She wanted to talk to you, and I said you weren't home".

Tears pricked my eyes, and I looked down and pursed my lips.

She wants to talk to me...

"Well, can I have her number"!? I asked, and he looked up at me and gave me a warning look "I'll only give it to you, if you don't say anything about why you ran away or whats been going on".

I nodded "Okay! Okay! I promise". He nodded his head towards the fridge "It's taped up". I got up and went to the fridge then grabbing the paper with her number on it. I quickly took my phone out and dialed Ryker's number, since I know it by heart.

"Hey, can you pick me up"? I asked since my truck was still at the warehouse.

I got a text from Ryker saying he's here, and I quickly grabbed my bag and ran out of the house and down the driveway and opened the passenger seat, and slammed the door shut.

"What the hell are you doing here"?! Ryker yelled, as anger filled his voice. "Ryk, my mom called"! I said excitedly.

His eyes widened "Oh my God! Rain, that's great"! He gave me a quick kiss, and I grinned "I know, she called and said she wanted to talk to me. My dad gave me her number".

"That's great princess, but I'm still not going to ignore the fact on why you were here..with your dad..alone" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"Nervous"? Will asked and I nodded slightly and bit my lip. My mom said she would Skype me in 1 more minute, and I've only sent her a text.

"It'll be fine..She's your mom" Peter smiled. "Yeah.. mom's are the best, I don't know what I'd do without mine" Neil laughed.

I saw Leah shift uncomfortably in her seat, and I turned my attention back to my laptop which was set on the coffee table. Ryker walked in and sat down on the couch next to me and handed me a water bottle.

"Thank you" I mumbled and unscrewed the cap then taking a sip. My laptop then started to ring as I saw my mom's name appear, and I spit my water out.

"Aww, Rain! Goddamn it" Ryker muttered and sent me a glare as I got water all over his shirt. "Sorry" I gave him apologetic smile. He rolled his eyes and pulled his t-shirt over his head and threw it to the side.

I hit the accept call button and it opened up to my mom. Tears immediately pricked my eyes and I put a hand over my mouth from shock, and she smiled "Hey, sweetie".

Everyone watched me and smiled. Ryker rubbed circles on my back, and I bit my lip and managed to get out "Hey, mom".

"My gosh, you've grown so much" She chuckled, and I nodded slightly "Yeah, I have" and laughed. Ryker looked at me and sent me a smile.

I saw she had tears in her eyes, and Vince called out "Ok! Now tell us all Rain's embarrassing childhood stories"! and he came behind the couch to look into the laptop screen.

My mom gave a small smile "Well look who's made some friends". They all stood up and got in the frame of the screen.

"This is Craig, Leah, Neil, Liz, Peter, Will, Vince, and Ryker" I introduced, and she stared at Ryker for a moment "You're my daughter's boyfriend, aren't you"?

Ryker leaned forward so he was closer to the laptop "Yes mam, I am". She nodded "I knew you would be, I could tell by the way you just looked at her".

My cheeks flushed red, and I looked at Ryker and he tensed up and became stiff.

Ryker Anderson

"You can tell Rain really loves her mom" Peter said as he took a bite of the apple he had in his hand, and I nodded then cracking open a beer "Yeah, she does".

"Does she know about your parents"? Craig asked curiously, and I snapped my heads towards him and made sure Rain wasn't listening to us as she was out in the living room; still talking to her mom.

"No! And she's not going to! I told her they were in a car accident, and that's all she needs to know" I warned "And I swear to God if you tell her-".

"It's not good to base your relationship off lies, Ryker!" Liz accused me, and I rolled my eyes "Yeah well..I really don't need her worrying about me".

"So you're not going to tell her that your parents are somewhere out in North Carolina, and that they had to give you, Leah, Reece, Faith, and Melanie up because they couldn't afford to have kids, and that you've been through abusive foster cares, and that's where Faith and Melanie are"? Vince questioned.

"Exactly. I just don't need Rain to worry, and that's what she's going to do. Rain's the type of girl to worry about other people before herself" I stated.

My parents live in North Carolina now, and so does the rest of my family and when I was 8 my parent's had to get rid of Leah who was 14, Reece who was 7, and Faith who was 3 at the time, and we were all split up when we got to foster homes. Then a couple years later Melanie was born, and my parents had to get rid of her too, and I luckily got her to be in the same foster home I was in; since she was just a baby. I haven't talked to my parents in years....but now my mom and dad are divorced, and they don't really talk anymore. I refuse to see them, because they put me through absolute hell, and they never tried get us back.

"You so Love her" Peter teased, and I rolled my eyes then taking a sip of my beer "I do not love her".
