Chapter 7
A/N: sorry for the delay, but unfortunately I still didn't make my mind about what's going to happen with the story and there is a slight chance that it might be heading toward the first choice: jessi would lose the baby because all the ideas and thought sin my mind are leading me there. But I have been trying to come up with something that might stop that from happening, so I can't promise you anything. I'll try my best to avoid that. Anyway, this is a very long author note and I hate long ones so all is left to say that this isn't a long chapter but I promise to make the next one longer. Thanks for abs07 for editing the chapter .
The phone call had ended, yet he was still holding his cell next to his ear. With a loose jaw and wide eyes, Kyle tried to adjust to the shocking news. His frozen trance distracted him from breathing. His panic spell lasted for seconds before Nicole knocked on the door and soon after, she entered the room.
"Good morning Kyle! Breakfast is rea…" She stopped talking as her eyes laid on him, noticing his status...
"Oh sorry I didn't know you were on the phone. I'll…" Kyle was pulled back to reality with the sound of her voice. He blinked twice before he answered her.
"No…I'm not …I was just …" he looked at the phone for a couple of seconds; realizing finally that the phone call had ended. "… Talking to Foss." He uttered.
She instantly noticed his nervosity. She slowly moved closer to him.
"Kyle is everything ok?"
"No..." he replied without thinking "I mean yes…" He took a quick breath and with an attempt to sound honest he said, "Yes! Nicole everythi…" as he started he realized that he couldn't lie to her again. He already promised himself to never do that to his family - at least not anymore. They already knew his secrets; there was no need to hide things from them at this point. He got up from his chair and went over to her. She simply observed his actions as she waited for him to explain. He closed the door and sighed in confusion when he stood in front of her, preparing himself to reveal his newly discovered information. He was afraid of her reaction; afraid that she would be disappointed in him. And just the thought of that cut into him. Furthermore, it wasn't going to be only her, but his entire family who would face the new situation. "Family"...that word. He was going to start his own family. His heart rate sped up from the thought of that. He was going to have a baby. He slipped back into a numb stunned state, and forgot Nicole's presence as she waited for his explanation.
"Kyle, what's wrong? What did Foss say?" His eyes met hers and he could see the concern gleaming from her orbs. As he played his conversation with Foss in his head again, he made his decision...
"Jessi is pregnant" he was surprised that he was able to say it so clearly.
"What?" Nicole gasped. She slowly exhaled, and knew somehow, that there was more to come. His grimace gave that away. Looking to her, hoping that she would guess the next statement on her own,
Kyle saw her glassy eyed; waiting and petrified. He hesitantly whispered, "I'm the father …" He waited for her to say something; anything to react to the news, but there was nothing. Nothing but her now watery widened eyes looking back at him. The tone of her voice was lowered.
"Are you sure? I mean when did you …." She was living the "frog caught in my throat" expression in that moment. She was shocked at the idea of Kyle and Jessi being sexually active and looking around for something to sit on. She quickly sat on the edge of the bathtub, still gazing at him.
The way she looked at him, a look mixed with shock and astonishment were like a jab straight to the heart for him; and he couldn't bear it. As much as Kyle wanted to justify the situation, he couldn't. Even he didn't know what to say that could make her understand.
"Nicole, it was…" he moved closer to her until he was less than two feet away.
"When did it start? How could you not tell me?" That's seemed like the logical questions at the time and she demanded with anger, but Nicole managed to keep a tame tone.
"I have just found out ab-" he started.
"I can't believe this!" She didn't give him the chance to finish.
"It was one time and I didn't think-" He began but was cut off when Josh entered the room.
"What are you guys doing? I'm hungry and everyone else is waiting for you." He growled.
A moment of awkward silence passed, and Kyle was looking at Nicole who before standing up cleared her throat and with a smile she answered "We'll be right there!"
Josh appeared satisfied with her statement and exited the room mumbled "Just hurry up, I'm starving!"
Kyle and Mrs. Trager's eyes met again and he could see disappointment and disbelief in them. He had never seen her like that before; not at that level of anger. As she opened the door she noticed that Kyle was still standing in the same position.
"Kyle, are you coming?" He was quiet for a moment before he replied "Actually…" he sighed. "They're in Seattle - Jessi and Foss, they came back last night. I have to go Nicole. I need …" He hoped that she would understand what he had to do next.
"Okay Kyle, you can go…but we'll talk later." He was slightly happy with her approval. The last thing he needed was to be worried about what his family would think of him; especially Nicole. He was going to meet Jessi and he didn't know what was going to happen then, what they were going to say, and most importantly he didn't know how he was going to face her; and that scared him the most. They left the room quietly. Kyle prepared himself to leave the house when Josh called out:
"Hey bro, where are you going?"
Before Kyle could answer his brother his mother beat him to it."Kyle needs to take care of something." She gave him a nod as a sign for him to continue on his way. When Kyle exited gently closing the door behind him, Josh asked in confusion.
"Who's going to drive us to school now?"
Minutes passed after Kyle's departure; Nicole was lost in her own thoughts when Stephan picked up on the fact that his wife hadn't touched her food yet.
"Is something wrong?" He asked with concern.
"Uh, what?" Pulled out of her daze by her husband's words, Nicole realized that her family had noticed her quiet demeanor.
"You're not eating. What's wrong?" She looked at Stephen for a while, before she said "We need to talk."
The closer he got to the house that Foss pointed out earlier, the more nervous he became. He calculated the distance needed for him to reach the place -'Only two more miles and I'll be there.' He thought. 'Everything is going to be ok …' he sighed 'It has to be.' He hoped.
The minute he parked his car, he remembered someone... Amanda. What was he going to tell her? How would she react to the news? 'Would she forgive me?' And just like that he lost the use of his legs. Why didn't he think about her earlier? What was he going to do? He couldn't move not even an inch. He started breathing heavily and with his eyes fixed on the house, he tried to think of something, anything that might help him but he couldn't. That's when he realized something ;he shouldn't have been thinking of Amanda at that moment , sure she was important to him but he had something more important that he needed to solve and imaging how his girlfriend would react to the news of him cheating on her wasn't very helpful for him at that time. so he pushed the thought of Amanda to the back of his mind . He made his way toward the house. He quickly picked up Jessi's heartbeat and the closer he got to the warehouse, the stronger and faster her heart rate got. He knew that she could sense him, and that he was near. He stopped in front of the door. He didn't have to knock because she was the one who opened the door for him. He was surprised when he saw her, when he met her beautiful smile and happy eyes.
"What should we do now?" The woman asked.
"We need to get her on our side again. That is the only way that we could grantee that everything would go just like we planned." He explained.
"How are you planning on doing that Mr. Taylor, she doesn't exactly trust us?"
"I'll take of that Miss Hollander. He was so confident that it got the woman a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. "I know exactly how to get her on our side again." The man smirked.
They quickly entered the room and Nicole closed the door behind them. Stephen was surprised by his wife's actions but he just waited for her to explain whatever was happening and what could have caused his wife to act like that for him. She didn't hesitate a second and she just let it out:
"Jessi is pregnant and Kyle is the father."
"What?" Her husband yelled.
"Hi! She nervously cleared her throat. "You're early." The smile hadn't yet left her lips. He hesitated. "Good morning Jessi!" He was very confused by her state. He didn't expect that kind of welcoming. They got inside to find Foss sitting on the couch. He was clearly waiting for Kyle's arrival.
"Good morning, Kyle." He stood up, looking at both of them. "I'll leave you two to talk."
Confused by his comment, Jessi asked "About what?" Kyle was surprised by her question; because earlier on the phone Foss had told him that he needed to discuss the issue with Jessi. The latter was feeling like a fool as she noticed Foss and Kyle share glances. Since Kyle arrived, she could sense his discomfort and nervousness, and that's when she realized what was happening. With a look of betrayal in her eyes she whimpered out her next words. "You told him?" he didn't answer her but instead he left the room leaving them both alone.
A/N: I hope you liked it.
