Kirsten Cohen stood in the kitchen and started to prepare some vegetables for dinner. Everyone was out. Kaitlin was at school. Seth worked in the comic store. Summer and Julie did some shopping. Ryan had dinner with Taylor and Sandy was at work. So she was alone, as usual. It is 4pm so the other should be home soon, Kirsten thought when she glanced at her watch.
Kirsten was busy with washing the carottes when she heard the door being opened and closed soundly. When she heard that someone got finally home she wanted to yell hello and find out who it was but when she heard how the door was closed, she knew it had to be Kaitlin.
Kirsten was about to greet her when she heard footsteps running up the stairs. A few moments later another door was closed soundly. "Nice" Kirsten whispered to herself.
She continued preparing the food but when nobody got home and Kaitlin was still up in her room she decided to go up and at least greet Kaitlin and ask her how school went, because Kirsten never had a real relationship with the little rebell and decided she could start changing that fact.
She made her way up the stairs and felt for the first time that it got slightly difficulter because of the pregnancy, but instead of be annoyed, she just smiled when she reached the top of the stairs and rubbed her slightly showing belly.
Kirsten reached Kaitlin's room and was about to knock when she heard silent crying. She could've slapped herself for it, of course there had to be something wrong. Of course Kaitlin wasn't the most polite child or teenager in the world but she definitely would've said hello before going upstairs.
Kirsten slightly knocked and softly asked "Kaitlin, can i come in, sweetie?".
The crying suddenly stopped and she heard a quiet "uh huh".
When Kirsten entered and saw Kaitlin sitting on her bed, legs crossed she made her way over to her and sat down next to her. Kirsten could tell that Kailtin tried to whipe her cheeks dry but she could still see the dry tears across her beautiful face.
"Hi" Kirsten started not knowing if Kaitlin even wanted to talk to her.
"Hey" she answered and with that Kirsten knew something was wrong. Kaitlin never said just "Hey" there was always an unspoken and "totally awesome" comment she had to make.
"How was school" Kirsten asked looking at her while she was looking down on her pillow.
"Amazing as usual" she answered sarcasticly and laughed ironicly.
"Yea i thought so. Harbour isn't as fun as your parents tell you before you go to school, we parents are just good liars" Kirsten said trying to lighten the mood but instead she got a surprised look from Kaitlin "you went to harbour?".
"Uh huh, with your dad, i thought you knew" Kirsten said smiling.
"Right" Kaitlin said shortly and looked back down. Jimmy was a great idea to make her feel better, Kirsten, you idiot, Kirsten told herself.
"You...you wanna tell me what's wrong?" she asked the teenage girl.
"Uhm what do you mean I..." Kaitlin started but Kirsten interrupted "Don't make the effort, sweetie, i was once your age. If you don't want to talk about it i understand and i don't want to disturb you any longer if you want to be alone" Kirsten said, rubbing her back softly before standing up (with help of her hands) and making her way over to the door.
Kaitlin stayed silent when fresh tears prickled in her eyes "Kirsten" she called quietly before the older women left her room.
Kirsten was surprised to hear her voice and turned around "Yes sweetie".
"You know...had you ever..." Kaitlin started but stopped herself "not important". Kirsten hid her giggle, Kaitlin and young Kirsten had a lot in common. She made her way back over to the bed and sat next to Kaitlin once again, lifting her chin with a finger so the young girl would look into her eyes. When their gazes met, Kirsten whispered "What, what did i ever..?".
Kaitlin smiled grateful when Kirsten handed her a tissue and slowly began "had you ever...guy-problems".
Kirsten laughed "ohh you don't wanna know".
Kaitlin returned her smile with a slight giggle and said "with my dad, too?".
The pregant women thought about it for a second and then answered "of course".
Kaitlin sighed and tried to continue "In school we have these music-dudes and they are like the most boring people in the world" she explained which caused Kirsten to giggle "ohh yea i remember them well".
The teenager giggled again through her tearstrained face and answered "right. So..i always make fun of them you know they are just totally funny with their stupid hats and stuff..." she continued and got a nodd from Kirsten in response. "Well I never liked them and never really talked to them cuz you know...they are outsiders and who wants to be an outsider?" Kaitlin said shaking her head. "But...some day..I...needed help with..a presentation about a book which was about a dog who was really spoiled but then..." she started but Kirsten interrupted "Kaitlin" and laughed softly. Kailtin smiled and rolled her eyes "right back to the subject. I needed...help and ...these music dudes are.. smarter than you'd think and one of them helped me by not helping me. He said i was...smart enough to it myself and ... he was right".
"Of course you are honey. Go on" Kirsten said flashing her a proud smile, somewhat proud that she built up her confidence.
"His name..." Kaitlin started and Kirsten interrupted once again with a "Ohh...guy-issue...".
Kaitlin nodded carefully and built up enough courage to say the next part "His name's Will...and I" but then stopped herself again, another tear escaping her eyes.
"You fell in love with him?" Kirsten continued for her.
Kaitlin made a disgusted face and said "God no, not 'in love'...".
"You have or had a crush on him?" Kirsten changed her sentence.
"Oh my god, nothing against you, you look hot for your age but please...don't say 'crush'" Kaitlin said and Kirsten laughed again.
"Okay but i was right, wasn't I?" Kirsten said, her tone returning to seriousness.
Kaitlin nodded and a few more tears rolled down her beautiful cheeks. Kirsten finally pulled her into a hug and Kaitlin cried freely. Kirsten was shocked that the girl didn't pull away but was somehow glad she could be there for her.
"What happened" Kirsten whispered into her long hair.
"Nothing" Kaitlin replied.
"And that's your problem?" Kirsten asked trying to make sense of what Kaitlin had said.
"No...yes" she started still in Kirsten's arms "i mean he is...a music-dude, a freak, an outsider, i can't...date him" she admitted eventually.
"If you promise you won't tell anyone i'm gonna tell you something" Kirsten said rubbing Kaitlins back. The girl nodded and Kirsten said "Well...when i went to college i was probably the most famous student of all because of my father. I was always the perfect Kirsten Nichol and of course, i treated everyone exactly that way. I felt better than anyone because at home, everyone told me i was better. I never had a problem, neither financial nor with guys. I did a lot of parties and had a lot of fun with anyone that crossed my path" she explained which caused Kaitlin to pull back and looked at her wide-eyed. "Not like you think, but i just had fun and nobody really mattered to me. But then some day... i met this poor, dark haired jew with that cute smile" she said and Kaitlin rolled her eyes "Sandy". Kirsten nodded and continued "He was everything me and my family wasn't. He came from that part of the world that was probably the most different from my old surroundings. He was poor and smart. I was rich and could fail as much exams as i wanted, teacher always liked me or let me say my father. Not that i wasn't smart enough to do it myself but you know what i mean. But i fell for him the first time i saw him but i kept telling myself that he was too different from me" Kirsten said and saw Kaitlin agree "Yea. I think...even if gave me and him..a chance...we are too different".
"You are right. It's always hard if you have less in common and always different opinions but look at me and Sandy. We are still together and i never thought in a million years that i'd even get to be his girlfriend some day. And now im his wife, pregant with our THIRD child" she said smiling.
"Too much information and Oh my god you are totally whipped" Kaitlin said rolling her eyes but smiled eventually.
Kirsten giggled "All i want to say is... that give it a chance, you can start slow, see what happens, you are so young, sweetie, you have your whole life having to make serious choices, but not now, not with fifteen, Kaitlin, you are young, you need to make experiences, have fun" she said whiping her cheeks with her hands dry.
"So you tell me to have sex with him so i can see if i like him?".
Kirsten's eyes widened in shock "WHAT? NO I ... I ... I didn't mean it that..." she started but Kaitlin suddenly burst out laughing "i was kidding".
The older women sighed relieved and giggled along.
"Thanks Kiki" Kaitlin said eventually "but sorry that i have to tell you, i still think you are like the most married women in the world".
Kirsten laughed "don't worry sweetie, i'm used to it".
Kaitlin leaned a little closer to Kirsten to whisper into her ear "dont tell anyone but for an old momma who embarresses her children, you are pretty cool, Seth, Ryan and all the other results of your sexlife are pretty lucky to have you".
"Im gonna ignore the sex-comment, but thanks" Kirsten said smiling and kissed her cheek.
"How about we go back downstairs, there's waiting a meal that wants to me cooked, if you want you can come with me and we can talk" Kirsten suggested and Kaitlin agreed and they both went down where Kirsten continued with preparing the food and Kaitlin sat down on a kitchen stool and started doing her homework while they both talked about everything and anything.
Kaitlen knew that Julie had really improved in the mother-thing but she had to admit that she was slightly jealous of Seth because Kirsten was really amazing so much cooler that she ever thought possible.
At 6:30pm the front door opened for another time that day and it was Sandy, walking in in a soaking coat.
When he entered the kitchen he saw Kaitlin doing her homework and Kirsten standing in front of the stove "Hey you two" he said and both girls turned around.
"Hi" said Kaitlin and looked back down. Kirsten smiled and made her way over to him "Hey honey, how was work?" she said taking the wet coat off of his shoulders.
"Uhh good but the weather was a bitch to drive in today" he said motioning to his wet coat".
When Kirsten had put the coat away to let it dry, she made her way over to him and gave him a long and enjoyable kiss, while he rubbed her belly until Kaitlin interruped "totally whipped".
Sandy and Kirsten broke apart and smiled and Sandy said "i heard that before".
Kirsten gave Sandy one last peck on the lips before turning back around and getting some plates out of the cupboard.
"How was the little one today?" Sandy asked, talking about their unborn child.
"Uhmmm she was good" Kirsten said and Sandy's eyes widened "she?".
"uhhh or he" she quickly said and Kaitlin looked at them "is it a girl?".
"Noo uhh we..we dont know" Kirsten explained. "but baby why did you call it -she-?" Sandy asked rubbing her belly from behind.
"Because it sounds like THE BABY was a thing..." she said putting her hand over Sandy's.
"Yea but why didn't you call it -he- then" Sandy asked and Kirsten turned around. "Because i don't think our daughter wouldn't like to be called "he" said Kirsten and smiled widely.
"So what it is a girl?" Sandy asked smiling. "Yea they told me after the hospital-check-up , you know after the earthquake" Kirsten said and Sandy hugged her happyly "Oh my god, we are having a baby-girl".
"Finally i'm not the baby anymore" Kaitlin spoke up and smiled.
Kirsten was about to say "yea you'll have a baby-brother soon" but she stopped herself the last second knowing Julie hadn't talked to her yet.
"Yea" she answered instead and smiled at Sandy who kissed her nose.
When the others arrived home one by one (except for Ryan cause he was still out with Taylor) they sat down and had a delicious meal, talking about everyone's day and that they'd love a weekend-get-away together.
Everyone enjoyed the evening with nice music and a great talk and they eventually went to bed, everyone dreaming about the nice vacation they talked about.
Sandy wrapped an arm around his sleeping wife and rubbed her belly. He couldn't have been happier. He always wanted a daughter and he bet that she was just going to be as beautiful as her mother. Kirsten told him that she spent most of the evening with Kaitlin and that they both had a good time and talked a lot and he bet that Kirsten was going to be the best mother their daughter could ever hope for. Sandy kissed her neck one last time before closing his own eyes and whispering "I love you,Kirsten" into the hair of the back of her neck before falling asleep himself. The last thing he heard that day was a sleepy whisper answering "I love you, too, Sandy".
PLEASE PUSH THE BUTTON!!! lol
