Kai's reaction!
Still confident from her talk from Tyson the day before, Kayla was just about to pick up the phone and call Kai when it rang.
"Kay, I have something really amazing to tell you!" Kai's voice said excitedly down the phone, "Are you free now?"
Kayla bit her lip, suddenly nervous, then said quietly, "Yes. Kai, I've got something to tell you too."
"Well that's cool, how about I swing by and pick you up?"
"No!" she said quickly, "I mean, no, I'll meet you at the park in half an hour?"
"Ok, sure, see you there. Love you!"
Kayla hung up without replying and dragged herself carefully out of bed and over to her wardrobe. She pulled open the door, grabbing a pair of baggy jeans and a black hoodie after discarding half her wardrobe onto a messy pile on the floor. She threw them on and glanced in the mirror. She grimaced at what she saw. She looked tired and exhausted beyond belief. With a scowl she tied her hair up into a ponytail and went to the bathroom to wash her face. When she came back she grabbed her bag and phone and left her room, making her way down to where Tyson was.
"hey Ty?" she asked, pushing open the door.
Tyson and Max looked over from where they were playing on the play station, "Yuh?" Tyson replied, pausing the game.
"I'm going out, I wont be long." she said, "Hey maxie." she greeted, smiling tiredly.
"Hey Kayla!" he said, then he turned round, "Hey are you alright Kayla? You look pretty damn tired."
"I'm fine, Maxie," Kayla grinned, "I'll see you guys in a while."
Tyson winked at her encouragingly and they turned back to their game.
Kayla shut the door and suddenly felt extremely nervous. It was now or never. She decided.
Kai meanwhile was waiting anxiously in the park for Kayla to arrive. He was holding two coffees, and was sat on a bench, looking at the entrance. A few minutes passed and then he spotted Kayla. He jumped up and almost ran over to her.
"Kay!" he said and hugged her, somewhat awkwardly because of the drinks. They broke apart, "here you are, coffee, white, two sugars and chocolate topping." he announced and handed her a cup, "What's wrong?" he asked when she didn't respond.
"I don't like coffee Kai. It makes me sick." she said, not looking at him.
"Since when?" he laughed, "You love this stuff, remember?" he tried to pass her the drink again but she pushed it away.
"I said I don't like it Kai." she snapped.
"Right, sorry Kay." Kai said somewhat deflated and confused and he binned the drinks.
"You said you had something to tell me?" she asked, still not looking directly at him.
Kai's enthusiasm returned, "Kayla, I got a call this morning, from my grandfather's attorney. It turns out that after he died, his whole legacy was left to me, and it means I can go back and actually start getting somewhere in my life. It's amazing! I cant wait to start work," Kai exclaimed rapidly and excitedly, then his tone grew softer and he held her hands, "but it means I have to go to Russia. Soon. If I don't return in the next two weeks, I don't get it. And I have to live there permanently for five years. But I've got it all sorted, you can come with me and we can live in our own place. Just you and me… and we can have a room for Tala too obviously…" he laughed, "Then, later on, when all the paperwork's sorted and everything's running smoothly we could get married and have a family. But later on, much later, when we can both handle it…"
Kayla stood listening to all this, feeling excited and happy for Kai, but at the same time, she felt her heart sinking with every word he spoke about houses, jobs, futures. When he finally stopped and asked, "Well, what do you think?" Kayla couldn't look at him.
"Kai… I… I have to stay here. I have my grandfather to think about… my own future… college, in England…" she said haltingly.
"We can sort all that out, you could go to college in Russia, and we can visit Mr Dickinson all the time…" Kai said, dismissing her excuses with a wave of his hand.
"But, Kai! You can't expect me to give up my life in England to live with you. I have a year left yet, I want to finish, then go on to my other… my other plans…" she said, trying not to cry as she thought of what her "other plans" would now include.
Kai frowned and pulled her closer to him, "Kit, why are you fighting this? We love each other don't we? It's just the next step… are you frightened?"
"no." she said, then paused, "yes."
He hugged her, laughing, "You silly girl, there's nothing to be frightened, as long as we're together right?" then he noticed that she was crying quietly, "Kay? What's wrong?" he asked, concerned. Kayla didn't answer, just hugged him tighter. "Has someone hurt you? Who was it? It's alright, I'm here now… who was it?" Kai asked, holding her tight.
Kayla shook her head and pushed him away from her, "You're suffocating me, Kai!"
Kai looked on in utter confusion, and went to move closer but she backed away again, shaking her head. "Kay! What is it?"
"I…" she started, looking away. Then she took a deep breath and looked him in the eye, "Kai, I'm pregnant."
Kai's eyes widened and his mouth dropped open in shock, "You're … what?"
"pregnant." she repeated, looking at him, worried about his reaction.
Kai sank down onto a nearby bench, head in hands, suddenly feeling foolish for gushing on about their future… He didn't even want a kid, not yet… he wasn't ready for it… it was all too soon…
"You're sure?" he croaked, his throat suddenly dry.
Kayla nodded, biting her lip, "Kai… are you … alright?"
Kai looked up at her and smiled, "Of course I am, it was just a shock after all!" he laughed and hugged her, spinning her around, "What are we going to do? I mean, about your grandfather?" his face paled, "Christ, he's gonna kill me! And Tyson! Oh god, what have I done?" he suddenly sobered, "There's so much happening, I can't possibly… It's too soon. What about adoption? Have you thought of all the options? We can't have a kid yet…"
Kayla looked at him, horrified as he ranted, just wanting to break down and cry. She was so sure she could rely on Kai, but here he was basically telling her he didn't want a kid yet. When he said about it being too early she snapped, "Well we don't have a bloody choice! No I am not putting my child up for adoption! It's not going to wait a few years until you're ready!" she yelled.
Kai sighed, "I didn't mean it like that. Look," he put his hands on her shoulders, and kept his devastation from his face, putting on a small smile instead, "I'm going to be here for everything…"
"But, what about Russia?" she asked.
Kai swallowed and sighed, "I'll sort it. We'll stay here and raise this kid together…"
They embraced for what felt a long time until Kai's phone rang and he read the text, before sighing, "I've got to go, but I'll call you this evening. Alright?" he kissed her and left the park.
Kayla sat down on the bench and cried. She was there for what felt like hours until a hand on her shoulder made her look up. Tyson stood there, looking concerned.
"Kayla? What's wrong? What happened?" he asked, sitting beside her and putting his arm around her, "did you tell him?"
Kayla nodded through tears, "He didn't want to. He doesn't want to be a father, has his own dreams to follow." she muttered between sobs.
Tyson hugged her close, "Oh Kay, I'm so sorry. I really thought-"
"No! Tyson he said he'd do it, but he can't I can't ask him to give up his life for some stupid mistake!" she said angrily.
Tyson said nothing, but held her close until she was all cried out. Then said, "Maybe he wants to."
Kayla laughed bitterly, "He wants to go to Russia and undo what his grandfather did."
Tyson was thoughtful for a few minutes, "Now are you definitely sure the test said positive? That's the first little thing to sort out."
Kayla nodded, then said, "I guess I could always take another one."
Tyson nodded encouragingly, "Good. You do that, then you can be sure."
Kayla smiled at him, and feeling suddenly happier made her way to the nearest chemist.
