Thanks to those who read Love Lies and reviewed. This is sort of the sequel, I don't really consider it that myself as it wasn't planned but it would fit in the same continuety. Until I decide to write something else on the same lines I guess.


Dealing with it


Kim sat and looked at the small white piece of plastic in her hands. The shock was too much for her as she broke down and cried and cried. She wanted to let the tears fall until she felt no more would come but they seemed to last forever. How could this happen to her? Now, especially now. Things were already bad, Kim didn't need this.

As if her general situation couldn't be worse, Kim also had to contend with her own mood swings. Mood swings which had taken a hold for a while now. She didn't know how long she had been pregnant but it had been long enough to affect her attitude and judgment. If only she hadn't lost control, then she wouldn't be in this mess. Though even without the mood swings Kim could never keep a level head. Pregnancy had only made her temper worse.

Two years ago Kim had been happy, she thought it couldn't end. She and Ron had started dating, she was doing well in college and saw a bright future for the both of them. So how could it all have went so wrong? Ron was no longer dating her, he wasn't even her friend and it looked as though he was now dating Yori. Being pregnant with his child couldn't be any worse.

Kim was now at College and living so far away from her parents, she didn't feel she could mention this to them. She wanted their support and comfort but was too ashamed to face them. If she at least had Ron, then things wouldn't be so bad but she wasn't just going to be a mother but a single mother. The press and her enemies would just love that, pregnant and without a father to support her baby. Kim Possible, white trash.

It wasn't the possible media circus that was bothering her. Kim didn't pay that much attention to what either her enemies or her peers said, she had learned that lesson already. There would be enough made of them having a baby if they were together but having to deal with the situation herself was too much.

Even though, Kim still had to think of how she would handle the media. She couldn't hide the pregnancy forever, she was going to have to tell someone. She thought that when she felt she had to deal with it then the first person she would tell would be her mother. Her mother always knew how to take care of her. Though Kim couldn't help but feel if things were the way she wanted them that she would be telling someone else first. Then what about the press? Could she really let them know who the father was. Then Ron would have to deal with the media circus. Kim didn't know what to think about that considering her mixed bag of feelings towards him.

Kim felt hurt and betrayed. When she had needed her best friend the most he had deserted her for a petite Japanese girl who always played the nice girl. Kim couldn't help but feel Yori knew what she was doing when she stole Ron away from her. No one could be that nice. Everyone had their bad side.

Kim knew she herself could be bad. For all the good she did Kim could be foolish and make mistakes. She had shown Ron this side of herself often enough, more often recently. She knew now that it had been more than the breakdown of their relationship. Kim had been extra moody this last month or so. She had always used Ron as a focus point of her anger, this caused many arguments before but before the break up she had been a lot worse.

Looking back, Kim knew she was wrong for that. The fact that her mood could have been influenced by her pregnancy wasn't a good excuse. She had blown her top at Ron before, just not like that.

Things weren't helped by Ron's concern for her health when she became sick. Kim had suffered morning sickness but neither were had known the cause at the time. In retrospect it was obvious why, but hindsight can't change what happened. Ron had insisted that she take time off from the missions and seen a doctor but Kim had insisted she was fine. She was too stubborn to listen when told her sickness was slowing her down and that her judgment was impaired, though Kim realised just how impaired it was now. If she had been thinking straight then she would have seen sense and talked to Ron, not give him verbal abuse like she had before they broke up.

The fragile teen hero stood up slowly and threw the pregnancy test she held into the the trash can. She stood there for a second, unsure of what to do next. Kim couldn't even think if she should sit back down, go shower or make something to eat let alone what she should do in regards to her immediate future.

Kim remembered how her parents had reacted at the news they had broken up. Her father had reacted rather laid back, it was clear he was disappointed as he liked Ron but Kim figured he would be happy if his little daughter wasn't dating anyone, ever. Her mother however had been far more disapproving. She had even argued with her about it and Mrs. Dr. Possible had pointed out Kim's previous treatment of Ron.

Even though she was afraid her mother might be able to place her recent behaviour on mood swings, Kim knew she hadn't spent enough time with her mother since moving out for her to reliably come to that conclusion. Bearing that in mind Kim knew that the inevitable conversation about her being pregnant was on the cards with her parents.

Kim wished her friend Monique was here but she had gone to a college in another state. Monique was always good for comfort and without her as well the teen redhead felt she was all alone.
