Chapter 9 Surprise!

It had been almost a month since Kelly and Brenda had found out their exciting news. Brandon had gone back to New York for the time being but was planning to job hunt and move back to Beverly Hills as soon as possible. Brenda and Dylan had been shacking up at Kelly's beach apartment which Brenda was enjoying but Dylan was getting annoyed having no privacy. Also living with Kelly wasn't something he ever wanted to do again but having Brenda around was helping a little bit. Dylan and Brenda had decided to move out of the hotel, it was getting expensive and Dylan was running around doing his thing and Brenda hated being in that suite all alone. Kelly and Brenda's bodies and attitudes were changing and the girls felt a closeness and bond, and it helped they were both going through it at the same time. They were both about 3 ½ months and the fun stuff was just beginning. Now it was becoming apparent and it wasn't a secret anymore they were expecting. Both girls had decided to wait to tell the rest of the gang until after the 1st trimester ended just in case something went wrong. But now it seemed both were in the clear and doing great.

Kelly got up slowly moving into the kitchen. She looked and saw Brenda and Dylan acting playful with each other and kissing on and off on the couch. She noticed Brenda was smiling, feeling good, hadn't had any morning sickness and to top it off she was wearing short cut off jean shorts and a tight tank top. Kelly thought to herself how the hell is she so skinny still? Kelly looked down at herself and she only could fit in sweat pants, she threw up at least 4 times a day and felt like total crap.

"You're up and ready early." Kelly said while rolling her eyes and making her way to the refrigerator,

"Yeah Dylan and I are going to go down the beach and have a picnic." Brenda said smiling and moving in closer to Dylan.

"Brenda, what the hell? How are you still wearing your clothes, are you eating?"

"Is she eating? Are you serious? I never seen this girl put down so much food." Dylan said laughing out loud.

"Shut up" she smiled and hit him on the gut. "I don't know Kel, don't worry I am sure it will hit soon. I am just small I guess."

Kelly gave Brenda a look of complete jealousy and went and flopped down in a chair. Dylan smirked recognizing the jealous look he had come to know so well when it came to Brenda.

"How are you feeling Kel?" He tried sounding sympathetic

"I feel terrible, I am getting totally fat, I can't fit in my clothes and I throw up all the time." Kelly said pouting.

"Aww kel, it will go away soon." Brenda said

Dylan leaned in and whispered into Brenda's ear, "I think you look beautiful." Dylan kissed her under her ear. Brenda turned to look at him and he slowly moved in for a slow and passionate kiss.

"Oh my god, what is with you two? You can't keep your hands off each other" Kelly said disgusted. "I am having flashbacks to high school days."

"HA I don't know I am always in the mood now days." Brenda said while looking at Dylan, biting her lip and whispering something into his ear.

Dylan turns red and looks at Kelly, "Did I freak out about Bren being pregnant cause at this rate I may keep her bare foot and pregnant forever."

Kelly let out a chuckle because even though she was queasy they were pretty cute.

Kelly groaned as she got off the chair, "I need to puke" she said sadly and ran to the bathroom.

"Poor Kelly" Brenda said

"So where were we? Lets go I need to show you something in the bedroom."

"Show me something huh." Brenda got up slowly and so did Dylan, they started kissing and walking, Brenda was walking backwards as Dylan was guiding her so she wouldn't hit anything. Just as they came to the hallway Kelly swung open the door running literally into them on their way to the bedroom.

"OH MY GOD, geez." Kelly said going around them. "I am calling Brandon."

Brenda and Dylan smiled but didn't stop kissing even after running into Kelly. They went into their bedroom and closed the door.

Kelly went over to the phone and dialed Brandon's cell.

"Walsh"

"Hey baby, I miss you, come home."

"What's wrong Kel, how are you feeling?"

"Awful, I am fat, cranky, throwing up every minute and I miss you." She said in a baby voice and she started crying for no reason.

"Awww baby, I am sorry, I will be there soon enough."

"AND to top it off, your sister, is skinny, horny and looking gorgeous. It seems every minute those two are doing it and she is still fitting into her clothes." She said in a baby voice again.

"Well, hun you know Brenda and Dylan, it isn't really that different than normal."

"I know but maybe because they are living here, and I see them every second and I am sure it doesn't help that I am sleeping alone." She emphasized alone

"I know, I am trying to get home soon, I will call you in a little bit, so lie down and relax. Ok?"

"Okay fine."

"Oh and Kelly"

"Yeah"

"I bet you look beautiful and I can't wait to see your new curves."

"Yeah right, you'll see, its scary Brandon so scary, except my boobs, that's kind of nice."

"That does sound nice, Brandon said smiling "I can't wait, I will call you back, I love you."

"I love you too." Kelly smiled for the first time in a while. He did make her feel a little better. She hung up the phone and held it close to her. She had hoped he would move back soon. Kelly's Brandon trance was short lived when she heard Brenda and Dylan in the bedroom. "Ewwww" she said making a grossed out face.

Kelly decided to go for a walk. Brandon needed to come back and fast before she moved out of her own house.

Dylan looked at Brenda and out of breath smiled at her. "Wow, when did you learn how to do that?" he laughed.

"I have no idea." Brenda said giggling as she cuddled up to him.

"So much for the picnic."

Dylan kissed her on her forehead and got out of bed to get dressed.

"Where are you going?" Brenda said sitting up

"I got to do something, I have an appointment."

Brenda looked down, "And you don't want to be more specific?"

"Nope I got to go I am late. I will see you tonight." Dylan said hurrying out of the bedroom.

Brenda got up and threw on some lounge pants and her tank top again and went out into the living room. She clicked on the TV and sat there thinking why Dylan was running off so much.

Kelly slowly opened the back door sticking her heard in, "Everyone decent." noticing Brenda on the couch.

"What's wrong Bren"?"

"Have you noticed anything weird with Dylan?"

"Umm no… just that you guys are disgusting lately."

Brenda gave Kelly a "get over it look" and said, "No things couldn't be better with him, but he keeps running out and won't tell me where he is going. Do you think Dylan is seeing someone else?"

"Honestly Brenda, no I don't and when would he have to energy to be with someone else, I mean I have barely seen you guys out of your bedroom in weeks."

"True" laughed Brenda "but there is something up."

Kelly shrugged and looked at Brenda, "Are you hungry? I am craving a mega burger and you need one." Looking her up and down then sticking her tongue out at her.

"I actually am starving, let's get dressed and go get one."

Later that night the phone rang, Kelly jumped up, "I'll get it!"

"Good cause I wasn't planning on getting up anyway", Brenda joked

"Hello?"

"Hey beautiful."

"Brandon!"

"How are you feeling? Any better?"

"Well now I am perfect."

"Well I actually have some good news, I got a call shortly after our conversation earlier and it looks like I got an interview with someone from the LA times. But I won't be back for a few more weeks at least."

"Brandon, that's great news, congratulations. But a few more weeks?"

"I am not sure exactly but I will let you know as soon as I know.

"Ok, thanks for calling me, that's good news. Even though I wish you were coming sooner."

Brandon just gave her sympathy, he knew she was hormonal and lonely and he understood, "I know baby, I will let you know soon."

"Ok fine, bye." As she hung up she looked at Brenda pouting her lip.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he got an interview with the LA times and that he may be out here soon, in a few weeks."

"That's great Kel!"

"Yeah it is, but a few weeks, I was hoping he would be home sooner."

"Kelly it will be here before you know it."

"I know." Kelly said sadly "Where's Dylan?"

Brenda looked at her watch, "I don't know, see I told you."

"Brenda come on." Just as Kelly said it, Dylan came through the back door with a big smile on his face.

"Where have you been?" Brenda said annoyed.

Without taking his eyes off Brenda, "Kelly can I talk to Brenda alone for a second?"

"Sure" Kelly said shrugging; Kelly got up and went into her bedroom.

Dylan took Brenda's hand and pulled her to her feet from the couch. He took out a little black box and got on one of his knees, Brenda gasped.

"Brenda, I love you and I am so excited we are having this baby. I want to do everything right, by you and our baby. I have loved you since I first saw you back when we were younger. I have done things I am not proud of and I can never tell you how sorry I am enough. You have forgiven me and changed me. You gave me a family when I didn't have one, you believed in me when no one else did. I think we are soul mates and no one ever can come between us anymore. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you, Brenda Walsh, Will you marry me?" Dylan said looking up at her and opening the box.

Brenda stood there crying her eyes out and staring at Dylan, she didn't even look in the box.

"Oh my god Dylan, are you sure you want to do this?"

"I have never been more sure about anything in my whole life."

"YES, of course I will marry you."

Dylan got up and Brenda jumped in his arms. They were both crying and kissing. Dylan leaned his forehead against Brenda's.

"I love you Bren."

"I love you too."

"So this has been what you have been up to?"

"No actually this is" he reaches in the back of his pocket and takes out another box.

"What is this?" she says taking it from him.

"Open it."

Brenda opens the box and finds a key.

"A key? What for?"

"Remember that Big white house we saw, the one with the awesome bathtub you fell in love with, well…..It's ours, I bought it."

"Are you serious? Oh my god, Dylan. This is too much."

"Did you love it?"

"Well yeah, but still, it was so big."

"Well we are going to need the room", he said rubbing her belly. "Besides this apartment is getting a bit cramped."

Brenda threw her arms around him and squeezed the tightest she has ever squeezed him.

"Thank you, you are…I am at a loss for words right now."

"I know I know, I did good right?"

"Good Dylan, that's an understatement."

The two found themselves in a heavy lip lock this time it seemed to go on for several minutes.

Kelly walked out, "Oh my god, are you serious?"

Dylan and Brenda unlocked lips and she cuddled into Dylan's chest, almost jumping up and down.

"Kelly look!" She ran over to her flashing her left hand.

Kelly grabbed Brenda's hand, "Wow it's beautiful."

Dylan had gotten Brenda an antique solitaire diamond ring. It wasn't a lot of flash but just enough. It was so Brenda it was probably better than her picking it out herself.

"Congratulations" she said hugging Brenda.

"And we bought a house, so you won't have to put up with us anymore."

Dylan came up behind Brenda putting his arms around her tummy.

Kelly smiled at both of them, but could only feel jealousy. She realized how all along she had questioned Dylan's personality and if he would stick by Brenda after hearing the news she was pregnant. She also thought she never second guessed Brandon, after all he was the Boy Scout and Dylan was not. So why had Brandon been gone for over a month and here Dylan was excited about the baby, engaged and a homeowner. Kelly felt her smile begin to fade.

"Is everything ok Kel?"

"Yeah Brenda, I am fine, I just miss your brother, that's all."

All of a sudden there was a knock on the door. Kelly walked over to the door.

"Who is it?" she called out

"Flowers for Kelly Taylor."

"Flowers?" Kelly slowly opened the door and gasped.
