Disclaimer: I don't own this as usual.
A/N: Sorry if my typing sounds a little flat. I've had a busy day. On top of being an athlete, I'm also Miss Congeniality Calhoun Falls Charter School 2010, so I had to ride in the Christmas parade today. Not to mention helping my boss fix up the Lights n' Scents n' Things float to advertize the store where I work which has also been taking up my time. And I had to represent the Chamber of Commerce, who decided not to have a float this year, but still wanted representation. *rolls eyes at Chamber of Commerce* Anyway, so my computer was kinda sick, but now it's better, so yay! Enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Four
Kelly was cleaning up around her store, getting ready to close up for the day. She was so tired, but she knew she had to get everything done or she'd have more work to do in the morning. Too much work in the morning was simply not an option for her now that she was 14 weeks pregnant; she would have to drop what she was doing to throw up every ten minutes, which was really annoying, but it was a small price to pay for the child growing inside of her.
Elliot skated in just like he always did at the end of the day. "Kelly, I have something very important to tell you!" He exclaimed.
"Can you tell me while you hang those sledge hammers up on the wall?" Asked Kelly. Since her near-miscarriage, she'd become very protective over her baby. Working in a hardware store, everything seemed to be a threat, especially sledge hammers. She wasn't taking any chances.
"Sure, you look like you need to sit down." Said Elliot.
"I'm just tired and I'm not going to put my child in danger with those sledge hammers, they're heavy." Said Kelly.
"So you'd rather put your brother in danger, gee thanks, I feel loved." Said Elliot, hanging the hammers on the wall.
"So what were you going to tell me?" Asked Kelly.
"Dad's in town, that's why those people were in an uproar, somehow they heard about it." Said Elliot.
Kelly absentmindedly lay her hand on the small but noticable bump in her abdomen. "Are you sure?" She asked.
"What's wrong, are you having contractions again?" Asked Elliot, hoping she wasn't.
"No, I'm fine, how do you know Daddy's in town; I mean, that would have been on the news wouldn't it?" Asked Kelly.
"He's staying with Missy, Mom too, Missy says they heard about you being pregnant and they wanted to see you before they have to leave town again." Said Elliot.
"But isn't it dangerous for them to be here; what if someone tries to hurt them?" Asked Kelly.
"Kelly, it's dangerous for us to be here now that those people know who we are, especially in your condition." Said Elliot.
"Let's not talk about those people, I want to hear about Mom and Dad; how did they get here without causing a big commotion?" Asked Kelly.
"Pregnant women are bossy; and calm down, I don't want anything to happen to my niece or nephew." Said Elliot.
"I said I'm fine, Elliot." Said Kelly.
"Listen, do you want to see Mom and Dad or not?" Asked Elliot.
"Of course I do, I've missed them since they left us here and I want Manny to meet them; I get the feeling he's a little afraid since we told him." Said Kelly.
"Are you sure you want to put him in danger like that; you know what happened to the last man who got you pregnant." Said Elliot.
"Elliot, I'm a grown woman now, back then I was only a child; Dad had every right to be upset about that, but I don't see why he would be upset now, Manny and I are getting married." Said Kelly.
"Well, I'm sure he'll have something to say about it." Said Elliot.
"I'd rather he said something about it than did something about it." Said Kelly.
Elliot nodded in agreement with a sober expression on his face.
A/N: Sorry for the short chapter, but I couldn't just leave ya'll hanging! I may be mean, but I'm not that mean! LOL! So review if you want, or don't, I don't care, I just like to write fanfiction.
