Cody's POV

I watched her from across the room. Everything about the blonde was perfect. From how her hair fell to the way her eyes glistened when she smiled. Even to her laugh. She was everything a man could want in a woman. Or should I say she is everything I want in a woman. But there was no other woman like Kelly Blank. She was the one for me. But there was just one tiny problem. She was pregnant. With another mans baby. But the baby's father wasn't just some random guy. No, it was my brothers child. He died a few days ago in a traggic accident.

I knew how hard it was for me to deal with this, but I couldn't even imagine how tough it was Kelly. To know that her child would never know it's father. My neice or nephew. It didn't sit well with me.

"Kelly can we talk alone." I said when I walked up to the greiving blonde.

"Sure." she said letting me take her to somewhere private.

Thankfully there was only a few people left here. Mostly close friends and family.

"Cody are you okay?" she asked once we was in her room.

"Yeah, I'm as good as can be expected." I told her. "How are you doing?" I asked her.

"There are good minutes. Then there are some non-good minutes." she said looking down.

"How far along are you?" I asked.

I was now the only person in my family that knew about the baby. Well besides my brother, the babies family. They hadn't been able to tell eithers family before Tyler's accident.

"I'm only 10 weeks." she said looking at me. "Oh God, the family doesn't even know yet." she added before almost breaking down and started crying.

"Hey." I said wrapping my arms around her. "It's gonna be okay." I told her.

"I don't know if I can do this alone Cody." she cried into my shirt. "Why did this have to happen." she added.

I didn't know what to say to either part of that. I've known Kelly my whole life. Our parents were best friends. She had been dating my brother a few years. She didn't know this but he was about to propose to her.

"You wont have to do this Kel." I told her. "You have your friends and family along with me and mine." I added.

"I know that silly." she said laughing a bit. "But I meant taking care of the baby. Tyler wanted one so bad and now he isn't here to see him or her grow up." she added.

I knew exactly how bad he wanted a child. Everyone in our family how bad also. But no one knew that him and Kelly were succesful at making one. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't jealous that my brother got the one girl I always wanted, but I was happy that he was happy. And glad that he could make her happy. Tyler took care of her like how a man should take care of his woman. I knew she was in good hands which made everything better.

"I know this might be a bit strange to hear Kelly, but I want to be there for you and the baby." I said looking into her eyes.

"I don't understand." she said looking up at me. "You along with everyone else will be there." she added.

I had to admit that her sudden confusment was abit cute. She didn't understand exactly what I meant.

"No Kelly not like that." I told her. "I want to be a father to this baby." I said putting my hand over her still slim figure.

"Cody." she said sounding shocked. "I don't know if thats a good idea." she said looking down to where my hand was against her abdomen.

"Why not Kelly?" I asked her. "All I am askign is to be a father to my brother's child. When he or she is old enough we can tell them the truth." I assured her.

"I don't know Cody." she said moving my hand and walking to look out the window. "It's not that I don't like the idea because I do. It's just when I tell everyone that I am pregnant they will know it's Tyler." she added.

"That's fine with me." I told her. "I know how hard it is on a kid to grow up not knowing it's father. I don't want that for the baby." I told her.

"So you think lying to my child for most of it's like will be okay." she said to me.

"I know it may sound crazy but everyone will understand why we did it." I told her. "Exspecially your paretns and my mother." I added.

She looked at me and it kiled me inside to see the pain etched on her face. I knew the idea was crazy but it was something that I wanted to do. Not because I would be close to Kelly, but I could do the right thing by my brother and his child.

"Kelly, there is something I need to tell you about Tyler and the day he died." i said looking at her.

She looked at me like I had soemthing to do with it. Which I didn't. But Tyler had said something to me. Something that he made promise.

"Before the accident he was over at my house and we was talking about the baby." I started to tell her. "He made me promise that if something happend to him, I would take care of you and the baby." I added.

I knew I caught off guard with what I had just told her. But I need her to hear what Tyler had said to me. I had thought it was weird that he would tell me at the time. Then his accident happened and it made me wonder if he knew he was going to die.

"So." she said to me. "You can be there for me and my baby whenever you want to but that don't mean you have be it's father." she added.

"I know that Kelly, but don't you think you owe it to Tyler and your child to let me take of you two. The way Tyler would want me to." I said walking close to her and wrapping her in my arms. "I know this is a hard time on you right now and I'm saying that I know how you feel because I don't. But all I am asking is for a chace. A chance to raise my brothers child they way he or she should be." I added.

I hoped she would understand and agree to this. I would be happy because I would have Kelly in my life more. And the life of her child. I was also the baby's father since Tyler and myself was idential twins. We had the same DNA. She knew that, so it wouldn't be like we would be totally liying to the child. I would be the father, only because me and my brother had the same DNA.

"Can I think about this Cody?" she asked looking up at me.

"Sure." I said shaking my head at her. "I don't to rush you Kelly. I hope you know I only want whats best for the baby." I told her.

"I know." she said to with a smile. "And I thank you." she said giving me a soft kiss on her cheeck.

"No need to thank me Kelz." I said to her. "I know Tyler would do the same if the role was reversed." I told her.

"I'll cal you tomorrow night with the answer okay." she said with a smile. Turned around and walked away.

I watched as she did. She was beyond anyone I had ever met in my entire life. She was the sole reason me and all of y other girlfriends never worked. I would always compare them to her and how perfect she was. I knew she wans't the perfect person in the world. Who was? But her personatlity was perfect. She was the nicest person I had ever known. And I know for sure that other people would say the exact same thing. I knew some people might think that it would be weird for me to give up my single life to help what would have been my future sister-in-law take care of my brother's child. But Tyler had asked me and I know that I was in his shoes and I asked him for the same exact thing, he would have done the same. I just hoped that she would say yes and give me the chance.

Kelly's POV

I have been thinking about what Cody said to me. It was something that I had ever imagined he would do. I knew him and Tyler had been closed but for Cody to be willing give up being single take care of his brothers child. I knew that Cody was also wanting to do it because he was also the father of the baby. Since he was Tyler's twin and they had the same exact thing. I hadn't even known that it was possible until Tyler had told me. I knew he would know, he was a doctor. But it was still weird.

He made me promise to take care of you and the baby if something happened to me.

I wondered why Tyler had said that to Cody the same exact day he died. Since Cody had told me about Tyler asked him, I often wondered if he knew that he would be dying that day.

Then after everyone left the house, Tyler's lawyer had came to the house. He told me that Tyler had written me a letter and wanted me to read it only if something happened to him. I still had the letter in my hands. I had already opened the envelop and took the letter out. I just hadn't unfolded it yet to read it. I was scared to do so. Afraid of what it mght say. But I knew I had to. Tyler must have wanted me to know something that he hadn't been able to say to my face or been to afraid to tell me in person.

Dear Kelly, Please know that if you are reading this, then I am dead. And it wasn't by any choice either. There are somethings you should know. Somethings that I was to scared to. It has to do with you, Cody, and the baby. Please know that I never wanted to hurt you. I have also been hiding a dark secret. Something no one knew. Besides me. I know I should have told you to your face but I didn't want to face the reality of it all. So here it goes: The first thing is that, a few years ago, when I had gotten sick and was taken to the doctors, it wasn't the flu. It was cancer. I didn't want you to know because I knew that you would quit your dream job to take care of me and I couldn't let you do that. The second thing is that, because I was taking kemo and radiation, I wasn't able to have kids. I had tricked Cody into going to a sperm bank with me. It is acually because of him that you are pregnant. I know that because we are twins, we have the same DNA. But you needed to know that. I know that you probably hate me for lying to you, but like I said, I had been to afraid of telling you. The last thing you need to read in this letter is that I want you and Cody to raise this baby. As if you always knew that he was the father. Cody would be the best father to the child, better than I ever could. Cody has no clue about me using his sperm, so please don't blame him. No one about anything except me and my doctors. I had told them not to tell anyone and they couldn't. When you are done reading this, please do not throw away. Let my brother read this. He needs to know the truth just as much you do. I know that when someone asks about this situation that you and Cody will know what to say. The only thing that I ask of you, and I know this may be asking to much, is that you tell the baby about me. His of Her Uncle Tyler. Let them know that I loved them and that I wish that I could see them. Love Tyler.

None of this was making any sense. Why would he lie to me like that. And not just me. But everyone else. Including his own brother.

I couldn't believe that Tyler had done that. To me, Cody, and his family. Then everything started sinking in. It was because of Cody that I would have be having a baby. Now I knew why Tyler had made Cody promise to take care of the baby and me.

I looked at the clock on the mantle. Cody should be coming should be coming over in a few minutes. I thought about what his reaction would be when he read the letter. I still couldn't believe that Tyler had used Cody the way he did and not tell anyone. I wondered what he would of done had ne not died that day and never told us. I understood why he did it, I really did. But it still hurt.

I heard a car door slam shut and I walked to the front door. I smiled when I saw Cody making his way to the front. I opened it before he could knock. I greeted him a smile as I looked at. He was just so damn handsome. From his jet-black hair to his baby blue eyes.

"You said you had something for me?" he asked me.

"Yeah." I was barely able to say. Handing him the letter from Tyler. "You might want to sit down when you read this." I told him.

And he did. I sat next to him. Watching his features as he read the letter. I couldn't tell what he was thinking which annoyed me. But I knew he would probably feel the same way I did. Hurt. That his brother didn't tell him about the cancer. Mad because he didn't tell Cody that he used his sperm to get me pregnant. I just hoped that Cody would be able to understand not be mad at Tyler. Even though he had evry right to be.

"How could he do this us?" Cody said looking at me.

"I don't know." I said looking at him. "I don't even know what to think about any of this." I told him.

"I am so sorry Kelly." he said putting his arm around me and pulling me into his side. To hug me. It felt good to be right here. In his arms. I felt safe and at home. Something that I haven't been to feel in a while.

"You dont need to Cody." I said looking at him. "It's me that should be sorry." I told him.

"Why?" he asked looking confused. "You just foud out like I did." he told me.

"I know that, but I shoul dhave known something was up but I didn't." I said looking down at my hands which on my lap.

"Don't do this to yourself Kelly." he said kissing the top of my head. "The only we have to worry about right now is the baby." he said to me.

"I thought about your question and now that I read what Tyler wrote I think that we should raise the baby together." I said to him with a smile.

I felt this warm and fuzzy feling in my heart when he smiled back at me. I was shocked when he leaed in and kissed me. It was just a sweet and innocent kiss. But it felt good. And right.

"Kelly, I am so sorry." he said after pulling away. "I never should have kissed you." he added.

"Don't be." I told him. "I liked it." I added. "So what are you going to do now that you know the baby is acually yours?" I asked him.

"I will take care of you and the baby." he said giving me another kiss. "You and the baby are never going to have to worry about going without something." he said to me.

I was both happy and still sad. I missed Tyler. I would always miss him. He was my first everything. But he was gone now. He wanted me let Cody take of us. Even though Cody's only responsiblity was the baby. I had money, from my job and from when my grandparents passed. But this was something Cody wanted to do. Not just for me. But for the baby. The same baby, that until just a few minutes ago, father had passed.
