Chapter 10

For the next two months Kyle and Kenny had an off and on "relationship". In Kyle's mind, he and Kenny were a couple, but in Kenny's mind, Kyle was just an easy fuck. Deep down, Kyle knew that Kenny only wanted sex, but if it meant that he could be closer to him, then he was willing to put his dignity on the line to be with this man. "So tomorrow I have my six month check up." Kyle tells Kenny on the phone.

"Uh huh…" Kenny responds.

"You're going to come right? You went last month and I really appreciated it."

"So what time is the appointment?"

"It's at 3."

"I'll meet you there."

"Kenny, it's after school. Why can't we just ride together?"

"I have something to do after school."

"We get out at two, will you make it there on time?"

"I can do what I have to do and be there on time."

"What do you have to do Kenny?"

"We've been through this before Kyle, when we're together, we're together. When we're not, we're not. Don't fucking question me."

"Kenny don't be like that. I love you."

"Stop Kyle, just stop! You're only saying that because I got you pregnant and that was an accident! We did not mean to do this now or even together so stop with the I love you!"

Kyle is hurt by this. "Kenny…I do love you."

"Sure you do Kyle. Look, we're only having a baby, we don't have to pretend like we're going to be a big happy family. We both had separate lives before your situation and we'll continue to have them, we'll just have a baby to take care of in the process. Grow the fuck up and get out of this fucking fantasy world!"

Kyle's eyes began to water. "This isn't my situation, it's OUR situation. I didn't make this baby by myself. Yes, I really do love you Kenny and I would like to be with you. I would feel the same way even if we didn't have a child on the way. But since we DO have a baby on the way, we need to make this work!" Kyle's voice gets a little shaky in the end.

"I'm not going to talk to you when you're like this, so I'll just see you at the doctors tomorrow."

"But Kenny-" But before Kyle can finish, Kenny hangs up. Kyle immediately calls Bebe.

"What's up girl?" Bebe answers.

Kyle bursts into tears. "Kenny and I had another fight. He doesn't love me Bebe!"

"Oh sweetie…I'm sure you already knew that." Bebe was trying to find something comforting to say, but failed miserably.

"I thought he did. He doesn't think I really love and that I'm living in a fantasy world."

"Just forget about him Ky." Bebe tells him gently. "Think of your baby that you're going to be holding in your arms in a few months."

"I just want us to be a family…a family with the man I love."

"I understand Kyle, but Kenny doesn't want the same thing. You have to accept that."

Kyle cries harder. "I don't want to accept it. I love Kenny and I know in time he'll love me too!"

"Okay, you sound really crazy right now. You can't make Kenny love you. I'm sorry, but you can't."

Kyle sniffs. "What can I do Bebe?"

"First of all, you've got to stop hooking up with him. You need to be in control of the situation, you can't do that if you keep running back and having sex with him every time he's "nice" to you."

"I know, I know. I'm sleepy, I'm going to go to bed."

"Okay, you need your rest anyway. I'll see you at school tomorrow."

"Bye." He hangs up and buries his head in his hands and cries. Ike walks in and sits on Kyle's bed and puts his arm around him.

"What's wrong Ky?"

Kyle looks at Ike. "It's Kenny…"

Ike immediately looks angry. "What the fuck did he do now?"

"He doesn't want me and he thinks I'm only saying I love him because I'm pregnant. It's not true, I would love him anyway."

Ike rolls his eyes. "I'm sick of you letting that asshole hurt you! I told you, you need to concentrate on this baby. Fuck that mother fucker! If he doesn't want to have anything to do with you and the baby, then fuck it let him do his thing. You don't need him!'

"I love him Ike, I really truly love him!"

"I know you do, but he doesn't feel the same way and you're torturing yourself over this."

"I can't help it. I just want to be with him." He continues sobbing.

"It's not about what you want right now. Hell, it's not even about what Kenny wants." He rubs Kyle's belly. "This is who it's about, it's about the little girl inside of you. You need to get over Kenny and concentrate on the baby."

Kyle slowly nods. "You're right…"

Ike smiles. "Now you get some rest. You and baby girl need it."

"Thanks Ike."

"You're welcome. Goodnight."

The next day at school, Kenny has Kyle cornered by his locker. "Why the FUCK did your brother call me last night?"

Kyle looks at the angry look on Kenny's face. "I-I don't know. I didn't know he did."

Kenny slams his hand on the locker right above Kyle's head causing Kyle to flinch. "YES YOU FUCKING DID!" Kenny screams. "He said he's tired of me making you cry all the time. I never fucking make you cry, your delusional ass does it to yourself!"

"Kenny…you do say some hurtful things sometimes and it does make me cry. But I'm pregnant and hormonal so I really can't help it."

Kenny slams his hand on the locker again and Kyle jumps. "You're still not answering my question. Why did your brother call me?"

"I don't know Kenny…" A tear falls from his eye.

Kenny forcefully grabs Kyle by the collar and pulls him closer to him. "That's the shit I'm talking about! Stop that fucking crying! What the fuck is your problem?"

Kyle cries even harder. "Why are you acting this? Why are you being so mean to me? Kenny, I love you…"

Kenny's face turns red and he puts his hands around Kyle's neck and begins choking him. "I told you to stop SAYING THAT! You don't love me and I don't love you! Get that through your thick fucking HEAD!"

"HEY! Let her go!" Kenny releases his grip and turns around and sees Stan standing behind him. Kenny rolls his eyes.

"Do you mind? This is a private conversation, Marsh!"

"Really? I couldn't tell with all the yelling and screaming you were doing."

"This has nothing to do with you. This is between me and baby mama, so go find your girlfriend and leave us the hell alone."

"Baby mama huh?" Stan looks at Kyle, then at Kenny. "Well she looks terrified, I don't think I trust you alone with her. I think I should kick your ass again."

Kenny laughs. "You caught me off guard last time, you won't be so lucky a second time. Now like I said, leave us be."

"Kenny, maybe Stan can-" Kyle starts to say.

"Kenny slams his hand on the locker again causing Kyle to flinch and scream. "BITCH, SHUT UP! This is between YOU and ME!" He glares at Kyle and Kyle's lip begins to quiver. "What did I tell you about that?" Kenny continues glaring and Kyle runs off. Kenny tries to run after him, but Stan stops him. "Get the hell off of me!"

"Look…" Stan says calmly. "Just let her go, don't chase after her."

"Why shouldn't I?"

"Because dude, I know we're both use to Kyle being a guy, but he's not anymore. He's a girl now. You can't put your hands him like you would if he was still a guy. He's not a 5'10 dude anymore. He's a lot smaller and physically weaker than you now. You're what like 6 foot something?

"6'3."

"Exactly, and obviously you're still growing. But Kyle is now a 5 foot two maybe three girl. You look intimidating to her. You could also go to jail for hitting her not only because she's a girl, but because she's pregnant."

Kenny nods. "You're right." He takes a deep breath. "I just got so mad about her brother calling me cussing me out last night. He's being the "overprotective" brother and he's tired of me hurting his sister. He told me I need to man up and take care of my responsibility. In case he hasn't noticed, I've been there for Kyle the last few months. I know in the beginning I wasn't, but I am now...in more ways than one. I don't even know why I'm telling you all of this, it's none of your damn business anyway." He walks away.

Stan heads out to find Kyle. He finds Kyle standing outside of the girl's locker room talking to Henrietta. "He needs his ass kicked. He knows he shouldn't put his hands on a girl!" Henrietta tells Kyle.

"He didn't mean it…" Kyle sniffles and wipes his eyes.

"How can you say that? Kenny knew exactly what he was doing! Don't excuse his behavior!"

"I agree with Henrietta…" Stan steps in. They both look at him. Stan looks at Henrietta. "Can I have a moment alone with her?"

Henrietta shrugs. "I'll talk to you later Kyle." She leaves.

"Are you okay?" Stan asks him.

"I will be." Kyle whispers.

Stan examines Kyle's neck. "Your neck is red."

"I know…"

"He shouldn't get away with this!"

"It's okay Stan…really…" Kyle cries quietly and begins shaking.

"No it's not okay! Look at you! You're shaking!"

"Because I'm scared Stan! I don't know what he's going to do next…"

"Stay away from him Kyle. I know you're going to have a child with him, but for your safety, you need to keep your distance."

"We're going to a doctor's appointment together later…well I guess he might not come now."

Stan puts his arms around Kyle. "I'll go with you…"

Kyle looks up at Stan. "You will?" Stan nods. "But, what about Wendy?"

"It's not about Wendy right now. I just want you to be safe and have someone in your corner. You're my best friend…I'm here for you."

Kyle gives a small smile. "Thanks Stan, that really means a lot…"
