Last Time on King of the Camp
(Jack's POV)
"I'll get it." Eddie says. He opens the door a crack. "Jack, someone's here for you."
Eddie closes the door and I walk over and open it. I step outside into the cool, summer night. I close the door behind me.
She starts talking. "I'm pregnant."
Still Jack's POV
"No. No. You can't be pregnant." I say.
"Look at me. I'm obviously pregnant." She says and starts crying.
I hug her.
"Is it mine?" I ask.
"I'm pretty sure." She says.
"But we didn't…" I start but she cuts me off.
"At the party, Jack." She says.
We stand in silence for a minute.
"What are we going to do?" I ask.
"I don't know. I can't do this. I'm only 17." She says.
"Well I'm only 17 too!" I yell.
"Well I'm carrying this baby!" She yells.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it. I'm just shocked." I say.
"I thought you deserved to know. I couldn't keep hiding it from you." She says.
"Thanks. I should get back inside before the guys come looking for me." I say.
"Yeah. I should get going too. I'll see you tomorrow." She says.
I hug her and kiss her on the forehead. Then I head back to the cabin and open the door. All of the guys are by the window and I know they've been watching.
"Who was that?" Milton asks.
"Donna. Donna Tobin." I say.
"Is she…" Eddie starts talking.
"Pregnant?" I say.
"Yeah." Eddie says.
"Yes. She's pregnant." I say.
I sit down on one of the bunks. I put my head in my hands.
"Is it yours?" Milton asks.
I run my fingers through my hair and I look at the three of them.
"I have no idea." I say.
"What do you mean you 'have no idea'? Did you sleep with her or not?" Jerry says.
"I don't think I did. I think I slept with Kim." I say.
"But Donna is pregnant…" Eddie says.
"She probably wants me to be the dad. She's just trying to convince me that it's mine. It's probably some other guy's but she would rather have me be the baby's father." I say.
"So you think she's lying?" Milton asks.
"She just wants to convince everyone that it's mine. It's not." I say.
"Are you sure?" Eddie says.
"I slept with Kim. Not Donna." I say.
"Jack! You have to at least consider it being your kid!" Jerry yells at me.
"It's not my kid. I'm going to bed. We're done talking about it." I say.
"Wait! What about Kim?" Eddie asks.
"No one tells her. I'll talk to her about it." I say.
"You better tell her soon. You don't want her to hear it from someone else." Jerry says.
"Don't tell her." I say.
"I won't. I'm just saying. If she overhears it from someone else, it won't be pretty." Jerry says.
"I'll talk to her. It's not my kid. She'll understand." I say.
"You'll have to tell her that you lied to her about breaking the promise." Jerry says.
"Well I didn't break the promise if I slept with her." I say.
"Whatever. I'm going to sleep." Jerry says. "You better get some beauty sleep. It's going to be a long day tomorrow, Daddy."
"I'm not a dad. It's not my baby." I say.
"Keep telling yourself that…" Jerry says.
Kim's POV
After breakfast we have 30 minutes of free time. I find Jack.
"Hey beautiful. Do you want to go for a walk?" Jack asks after he gives me a kiss.
"I would love that." I say.
Jack grabs my hand and we start walking along the shore of the lake.
"Did you see who showed up to camp last night?" I ask Jack.
"No. Who?" Jack asks.
"Donna Tobin. And you'll never guess this. She's pregnant." I say.
Jack chuckles. "Donna Tobin is pregnant?"
"That's what I said! I mean, who would want to get her pregnant?!" I say.
"They must have been blind." Jack says.
"And deaf. She sounds like a mouse." I say.
Jack laughs. "I love you."
"I love you too."
A voice comes on the intercom and tells us it's time for morning activity.
"I'll see you at canoeing." I say.
"I can't wait." Jack says and kisses me.
Jerry's POV
I have Advanced Karate for my morning activity. So does Jack.
The instructor has us go for our warm up run. We have to go up the hill, through parts of the woods, around the dining hall, and back to the karate building.
We start running and I catch up to Jack and run with him.
"So… Did you tell Kim?" I ask.
"About Donna? No way." Jack says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I don't think I was the one who got her pregnant. I'm pretty sure I slept with Kim." Jack says.
"Is that what you told Kim? That you lied to her, possibly got another girl pregnant, and there's a small chance you two slept together?" I ask him.
Jack stops running and so do I.
"Why do you care? Why do you care what I tell Kim?!" Jack yells at me.
Everyone has passed us and we're the only ones left by the dining hall.
"I care about Kim. Obviously you don't or else you would tell Kim what's going on!" I yell at him.
"I can tell Kim whatever I want. I'll tell her when I figure it all out." Jack says.
I push him up against the building.
"You want to figure it all out?" I spit in his face. "Here's what happened. I slept with Kim! You slept with Donna. I saw you. I even have pictures if you want proof." I say.
"You slept with Kim?!" Jack yells at me. He pushes me back so he's not pushed up against the wall.
"Yeah. I did. And what are you going to do about it?!" I yell at him.
The instructor sees us at the top of the hill. "Brewer! Martinez! Get down here!"
Jack gets up in my face. "You want to know what I'm going to do about it?"
Jack raises his face and punches me in the face.
"Brewer! Office! Now!" The instructor yells as he walks up the hill.
Jack turns around and walks to the office, leaving me alone on the hill.
"I hope you're a better father than you are a boyfriend!" I yell at him as he walks away.
Jack's POV
I'm sitting in the office waiting for someone to come yell at me. The door opens and Rudy walks in.
"What happened?" Rudy asks.
"I punched Jerry." I say.
"I heard that already. What were you and Jerry arguing about? Kim?" Rudy asks.
"Kind of. Aren't you supposed to be yelling at me?" I ask.
"I'm not here to yell at you. Just to talk." Rudy says.
"He slept with her. Jerry knows how important Kim is to me! How can he just turn around and stab me in the back like that? And how can she just break our promise?" I say.
"Well it sounds like you broke the promise too." Rudy says.
"You heard about that?"
"I talked to Jerry before I came here. He told me."
"I can't do this. I'm 17. I can't be a dad." I say.
"Well you're going to be." Rudy says.
"What am I supposed to tell Kim? Or my foster parents?" I say.
"Here's a suggestion. The truth." Rudy says.
"That's easy for you to say. You aren't telling your girlfriend that you got another girl pregnant." I say.
I see an old practice dummy in the corner. I go over to it and punch it the stomach.
I sit down in on off the chairs and put my head in my hands. Rudy is sitting on the desk in front of me.
"What am I going to do?" I ask.
"You're going to talk to Donna. You're going to let her make all the decisions about this baby. You're going to support her and her decisions. If she keeps this baby, you're going to pay for it for the next 18 years. You're also going to tell Kim, your parents, and everyone else the truth. You are going to be a good dad whether Donna keeps the baby or not. You're smart Jack and you're a good kid. You're going to be fine. You're going to have to grow up. The most important thing is that you're going to love that kid, no matter what."
I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Don't worry… KICK isn't over yet!
