She's Trouble

Chapter 11 – Awkward Conversations

To say this was awkward was an understatement. This was beyond awkward for the two people who stood in front of each other. You could literally cut the tension in the air with a knife. Kayla grabbed onto her son's hand tighter as she eyed the man before her. She couldn't believe that he was here! She expected him to be halfway out at sea with… it was then it dawned on here. Andy had hoped that this would happen. He hoped that they would make-up and she would tell him everything but he was oh so wrong. She couldn't wait to get her hands on Andy Hillstrand's neck.

Jonathan stood shocked as he took in the woman before him. He couldn't believe how grown up she looked in front of him. She hadn't changed one bit. He then noticed that she was holding the hand of a little boy. He was prayed that the little boy before him wasn't hers but something deep down in him told him that it was. His eyes quickly fell to her left hand in panic. He breathed a sigh of relief as he noticed no ring. He wasn't quite sure how he was supposed to start this conversation, either way it was going to be awkward.

"You were visiting Phil weren't you?" Those words escaped his lips before he even had time to process it. It was a whisper of words that he knew she could hear.

Jonathan watched as Kayla's head bobbed up and down in a sad slow motion. He then noticed that the kid's expression changed from once happiness to now sadness. Phil had obviously been in the kid's life and Jonathan wasn't quite sure how to take this news let alone the fact that he has finally just seen her after almost seven years now. The love of his life stood before him and he couldn't think of a single word to say her.

Kayla carefully watched Jonathan take in everything. She had no idea what to say to the man before her. Oh, I'm sorry I left you and by the way this is your kid. Yeah, that sounded so great! Sarcasm. That was the one thing she knew in a situation like this. She was out of her element, way out of it especially with this man. She hadn't expected to see him so soon. She knew there was going to be a time that they saw each other again but she was hoping that it was when one of them was married or at least when Cameron was in college. Then again that sounded ridiculous.

"Look Jonathan I have to go Cameron's getting antsy and I should be going. It was nice seeing you again." She said waving a small wave and turning around from Jonathan before he could say anything.

"Wait!" Kayla sighed and turned around as she heard Jonathan jog to catch up to her and Cameron.

"Can we at least talk some time? I wanna know how the years have been. Just a simple beer that's it I promise." Jonathan said rushing through his sentence.

Kayla stood there for a second switching her balance form foot to foot wondering what she should do.

"Go with him mommy!" Cameron said tugging on his mom's hand to snap her out of her thoughts. "Uncle Andy always talks about how you need to start looking for someone and I would like a daddy." Cameron whispered the last part but she heard it anyway and it broke her heart but she saw behind that. She saw that her son's eye twinkled with mischief showing that he really was a Hillstrand and one with a plan that she wasn't quite sure if she wanted to know the details of.

Kayla had no idea that her son wanted a dad so bad but only if he knew that the man before him was actually his father. She wasn't ready to bring Jonathan into her son's life just yet. She didn't know if he still went out parting or if he was still sleeping around with the groupies but one drink couldn't hurt could it?

"Fine, one drink." She said firmly nodding. Jonathan's lips broke out into a grin as he handed her a slip of paper that she quickly threw it in her purse.

"Bye Jonathan." She said firmly nodding again. Jonathan only smiled and nodded looking rather excited for the "just one beer" date, if you could even call it that.

As Kayla and Cameron walked down the cross walk Kayla whispered to Cameron "What did you just get me in to Mr.?"

Cameron grinned up at his mom "I didn't get you into anything momma. You did it all yourself."

Kayla glared at the ground in front of her as she thought over her son's intelligent words. She didn't know if she should start worrying now or later in his life about his behavior. She shook her head and decided the later.

"Andy taught you to say that didn't he?" She asked looking over at Cameron with a raised eyebrow. He only grinned and looked anywhere but at her confirming her answer. Kayla laughed as she thought of all ways to kill the other Hillstrand that was currently out at sea.

Andy Hillstrand was in a shit load of trouble and he didn't even know it.

A/N: So i'm terribly sorry this is short but i wanted to get this out before i go on vacation... again! I'll be gone for a week with no internet! ):

At least i'll have tv to watch the last episode of Deadliest Catch! Who else is going to cry beside me ? Haha.

Anyway, i hope this left you hanging! (:
