Chpt 59 - Baby Shower - Part 1

Brandon is in the basement going through boxes.

"Man...I hope it's here somewhere," said Brandon looking frustrated looking for something.

He grabs one box and slams it on top of another box causing a pile of dust in the air. Brandon is taken away by the dust and starts to cough. He tries to wave away the dust.

"Brandon?" asked Kelly from another room.

"In...here," replied Brandon barely able to reply.

Kelly steps into the room.

"Hey, what are you doing?" asked Kelly.

"I'm trying to find the silverware. Silver said they were down here," replied Brandon.

"Honey, forget about it. We're just going to use plastic," replied Kelly.

"It's ok. Don't worry, I'll find them...You don't have to pretend," said Brandon.

"Gee...you do know me well," smiled Kelly.

"It's either that or Silver telling me that you'll freak out if our best friends have to eat from cheap plastic silverware," joked Brandon smiling.

Kelly smiles and proceeds to slowly walk down the steps. Brandon notices.

"Kel, what are you doing?" asked Brandon.

"I'm coming down to help you," replied Kelly.

"No, it's ok. I'll find it," said Brandon.

"Ok...but if we both look, we can find them faster," said Kelly still walking down the steps.

"It's not good for you to be down here, especially since you're pregnant," said Brandon.

"Yes, mother," joked Kelly who makes it to the end of the stairs.

Brandon smirks at Kelly's comment.

"You see? I'm still ok," said Kelly.

"Great," said Brandon.

Brandon starts to move to another box but Kelly tugs on his shirt to pull him back towards her.

Kelly smiles and they kiss.

Brandon starts to pull away and Kelly pulls him back staying with the kiss.

Brandon smiles. They break.

"Mmm...that was nice," said Brandon.

"Yeah. You want to?" asked Kelly smiling.

"You know I want to...but it's probably not a good idea," replied Brandon.

"Why not?" asked Kelly.

"Well...for one thing, Silver and Sammy are here," replied Brandon.

"They're actually at the store. They won't be back for at least 30 minutes," replied Kelly.

"Ok...but you know what the doctor said," said Brandon.

"Yes, she said be careful," said Kelly.

"Yeah, that's what I'm worry about," said Brandon.

"Brandon, don't worry. You're not going to hurt me," said Kelly.

"I'm also worry about the baby," said Brandon.

"Our baby will be fine," said Kelly.

"You know I need your lovin," smiled Kelly.

"Cmon...let's go to the bedroom," added Kelly.

Brandon smiles a little and leans in for a kiss.

Kelly smiles and they kiss. Things get heavy and Kelly starts to move her hand into Brandon's pants.

Kelly feels something and smiles.

"I see someone else is excited too," said Kelly.

Brandon slips his hand under Kelly's shirt and rubs Kelly's back. He finds Kelly's brastrap. Kelly leans her stomach closer to Brandon.

Still kissing, Brandon has a frustrated look trying to unhook Kelly's bra. He takes his hand out and breaks the kiss.

"What's wrong?" asked Kelly surprised.

"I'm sorry Kel; but this doesn't feel right," replied Brandon.

"What? You were doing fine. What's wrong?" asked Kelly.

"I dunno. I couldn't unhook your bra," replied Brandon acting nervous.

He steps away from her.

"Is that the problem?" asked Kelly.

Kelly quickly slips her hand under her shirt and removes her bra. She takes the bra out of her shirt and throws it at Brandon.

"There. Mission accomplished. You happy now?" asked Kelly looking disappointed.

Brandon looks at Kelly with a sad look.

"Kel, I'm sorry. I just can't," said Brandon.

"Brandon...what's wrong? You're scaring me here," asked Kelly.

"I just keep thinking that we'll hurt the baby," replied Brandon.

"Brandon; not only did the doctor told us it's ok but we've done it before and the baby was fine," said Kelly.

"I know but that was before you started showing," said Brandon.

"Are you saying that you don't want me anymore?" asked Kelly.

Brandon holds the bra up to his nose.

"No, I still want you," said Brandon.

"Then have me...I'm all yours," said Kelly going to Brandon.

She hugs Brandon. Brandon hugs Kelly.

"I'm sorry," said Brandon.

"I miss you," said Kelly.

"Me too," said Brandon.

Silver and Sammy are walking back to the house. They are carrying a few bags.

"Aunt Silver?" asked Sammy.

"Yes, Sammy?" asked Silver.

"Do we have to go back so soon?" asked Sammy.

"Why? What's the problem?" asked Silver.

"Don't tell mom but I don't want to go to a baby shower," replied Sammy.

"Sammy, do you even know what a baby shower even is?" asked Silver smiling at him.

"Well, kinda...," replied Sammy looking confused.

"Ok, what is it?" asked Silver.

"It's...it's...it's a party for girls and women. All that talk about are clothes, makeup, and mom being pregnant," replied Sammy who looks happy to let loose his rant.

"Very good. How do you know all this?" asked Silver.

"Brian told me," replied Sammy.

"I see. Do you want to hear something interesting?" asked Silver.

"What?" asked Sammy.

"It doesn't seem very fun to me too," replied Silver.

"Really? I thought you're into those kind of stuff," said Sammy.

"Nope. My kind of party doesn't involve talking about contractions," said Silver.

"Eh...what's a contraction?" asked Sammy.

Silver starts to regret what she just old Sammy.

"It's when a woman gets a stomachache," said Silver lying.

"Oh. So mom's still making you go too, huh?" asked Sammy.

Silver stops walking. Sammy then stops too. They look at each other.

"I'm going because it's important to your mom," said Silver.

"Oh," said Sammy sounding guilty for not wanting to go.

"I guess you're right...is it too late to change my answer?" asked Sammy.

Silver smiles.

"No, it's not too late. And it's ok for not wanting to go," replied Silver.

"Really...you're not going to tell mom, are you?" asked Sammy.

"No...it's ok. I think you're pretty terrific for being there for your mom," replied Silver.

"Thanks...besides...we have to go...we live there," said Sammy.

Silver laughs.

"You're a smart kid, Sammy," said Silver.

They continue walking.

Some time pasts by and we see them walking towards the house.

"I did not," said Sammy.

"Sammy, you were scared. Admit it," said Silver.

"No, I wasn't." said Sammy frustrated.

Silver stops walking when she saw someone. We see that it's Andrea standing in front of the house. Andrea doesn't see Silver.

"Ms. Zuckerman?" asked Silver.

Andrea looks up and sees Silver and Sammy.

"Hi...hi guys," said Andrea sort of nervous.

"Did you just get here?" asked Silver.

"Yeah...just got here," replied Andrea still looking nervous.

"Is nobody home?" asked Silver wondering why Andrea is just standing in front of the house.

"No; I...I haven't gone up yet. I was just about to," replied Andrea.

"Ok; come on up," said Silver.

"Well...maybe I should come back later. It looks like I'm too early," said Andrea.

"Don't worry about it. I'm sure Brandon and Kelly wouldn't mind," said Silver.

"Well...ok," smiled Andrea.

They all walk up to the door. Silver pulls out her key and opened the door.

They all walk in.

Andrea looks around and smiles.

"Have a seat," said Sammy who quickly dusts off a seat on the couch for Andrea.

"Thanks," said Andrea who goes and sits down.

"Brandon...Kelly...we're back," said Silver.

"Andrea's here," added Silver.

Brandon and Kelly walk into the room.

"Andrea!" said Kelly who goes and hugs her.

"Hey guys," said Andrea, who gets up.

"Wow, you look so great," smiled Andrea hugs Kelly.

"Yeah, but maybe not too attractive to someone," joked glaring at Brandon.

Brandon smirks.

"Don't listen to her. She's just in one of her moods," said Brandon.

Brandon goes and hugs and kisses Andrea on the cheek.

"Hey Chief," said Brandon.

"Hey Brandon," said Andrea.

"Sorry we don't have everything ready yet," said Kelly looking sort of embarrassed.

"Oh, it's ok. I know I'm a little early," said Andrea.

"Can I help you guys with anything?" asked Andrea.

"No, it's ok. Thanks but it's not much; we can handle it," replied Kelly.

"Can I get you anything to drink?" asked Brandon.

"No, it's ok...I'm fine," said Andrea.

"You know what? I can go and come back in a few hours when you're ready," added Andrea.

"No, don't be silly. Have a seat. We can start catching up right now...c'mon," said Kelly.

Kelly and Andrea go and take a seat on the couch.

"I'll get you ladies something to drink," said Brandon walking to the kitchen.

"Thanks Brandon," said Andrea.

"Did you bring any new pictures of Hannah?" asked Kelly.

"Glad you asked...Yes, I did," said Andrea taking out her phone to show Kelly.

A little while later, we see Kelly and Andrea leaving the house.

"You sure this is ok?" asked Andrea.

"Yeah, we won't be long. Besides, we've been setting up for the party all morning. I need to get outta there," replied Kelly.

The scene flashes to them walking in the park.

"I'm glad you're in such a good mood," said Andrea.

"Well sort of; and you?" asked Kelly.

"What about me?" asked Andrea.

"What's going on with you? You look so happy and glowing," replied Kelly.

"I'm so not glowing…not like you at least," said Andrea.

"C'mon, I know you. The last time we saw you, you seemed a little down on the dumps," said Kelly.

"I didn't know I was that obvious," said Andrea.

"I observe. I notice things," said Kelly.

Andrea smiles at Kelly.

They both stop walking. They sit at a bench.

"So who's the guy?" asked Kelly.

"Remember Jordan Bonner?" asked replied Andrea.

"Jordan?" asked Kelly with a surprised look.

"Yeah," replied Andrea.

"So how did you crazy kids hooked up?" asked Kelly.

"From Yale," replied Andrea.

"You guys were dating in Yale?" asked Kelly.

"No….we've only been casually seeing each other for about a year," replied Andrea.

"A year? How casual can you get?" asked Kelly.

"Don't make fun of our relationship, Kel. This is the first time in a long time that I'm actually happy," replied Andrea.

"I'm not making fun of you. I'm happy for you," said Kelly.

Andrea smiles at Kelly. They hug.

"So why isn't he coming to the party?" asked Kelly.

"He's gotta work. He says hi though," replied Andrea.

"Wow; you and Jordan Bonner again after all these years. That's great," smiled Kelly.

"So, why are you so happy?" asked Andrea.

"I guess I have got a few reasons to be happy. A good family. A new baby on the way. A good job," replied Kelly.

"Those are good reasons," said Andrea.

"So, what's the problem?" asked Andrea.

Kelly gives Andrea a look.

"There's no problem," replied Kelly.

Andrea gives Kelly a look.

"Ok; maybe one small tiny problem. It's Brandon," said Kelly.

"What about Brandon?" asked Andrea.

"Well, it's really nothing," replied Kelly not sure if she should tell Andrea.

"Cmon Kel; I can see it's bothering you...what is it?" asked Andrea.

"He's just been so over protective of me lately," replied Kelly.

"How so?" asked Andrea.

"He's keeping tabs on where I go, what I'm doing, and how long I'm outside for, replied Kelly.

"He's just caring for you," replied Andrea.

"I know he is. He's too good at this that it's driving me crazy," said Kelly.

Andrea and Kelly look at each other and started to laugh.

"He's also having trouble with…you know," replied Kelly.

"Well…he's probably…tired," replied Andrea.

"I don't know about that. He said he's afraid of hurting the baby," said Kelly.

"What did the doctor say?" asked Andrea.

"Doctor Long said it's ok; just be careful," replied Kelly.

"So what's he afraid of?" asked Andrea.

"I don't know. Every time we get in the mood, he stops and said he's afraid of hurting the baby," replied Kelly.

"Good ol' Brandon – always putting someone's health before his," said Andrea.

"I'm not sure what he's doing is good for my health, if you know what I mean," joked Kelly.

They both laugh.

"He was fine at first. But it's just that when I started showing, he's been backing off," said Kelly.

"Maybe you just gotta tell him to give you what you need," said Andrea.

"Well, Brandon can be pretty stubborn," said Kelly.

"I know he can be. If it helps, I'm sure he's missing you like crazy," said Andrea.

"Thanks. That can be really reassuring," joked Kelly.

Some time passes and we see Kelly and Andrea getting into the door.

Brandon hears them and comes to the living room.

"Hey, I thought you guys were only going to be gone for a few minutes," said Brandon.

"We were but when we got the park, we talked and lost track of time," said Kelly.

"You know the doctor said you shouldn't be outside of the house for too long," said Brandon.

"Dr. Long also said that I need to go outside to relieve some stress. Thanks for Andrea…she did just that," said Kelly giving Brandon a stern look.

"Ok. You win," smiled Brandon.

Brandon turns and walks away.

"You handled him well there," said Andrea.

"That was an easy one. He'll be back," said Kelly.

They both laughed.

Some time goes by and we see a few local guests have arrived including Ryan, Harry, and Debbie. Silver is hanging out with Annie. Brandon and Sammy are walking around serving food to the guests.

"Thanks for helping me out, Sammy," said Brandon.

"No problem, dad. I'm getting paid, right?" asked Sammy.

Brandon gives Sammy a look.

"Just kidding," smiled Sammy.

We hear the doorbell ring. Silver goes and opens the door. We see Steve, Janet, and Madeline. They greet each other.

"Steve, Janet, and Maddy are here," said Silver.

Brandon and Kelly go over to greet them. They said hi to each other.

Kelly hugs each of them one by one. She leans down to hug Madeline.

"Maddy, you're getting so big," said Kelly.

"So are you," said Madeline smiling.

"Maddy! That's not nice," said Janet scolded Madeline.

"It's ok. You're right. I look like a cow," laughed Kelly.

"Well, I think you look beautiful," smiled Steve.

"Thanks Steve," said Kelly giving a hug to Steve again.

"I'm sorry Aunt Kelly. I think you look beautiful," said Madeline looking a little ashamed.

Kelly leans down.

"It's ok, Maddy. I'm not offended. Unlike your parents, I appreciate your honesty," joked Kelly.

Madeline smiles.

"Oh, you are so cute," said Kelly smiling.

They hug again.

"Kel, this is for you," said Janet handing Kelly a wrapped gift.

"Oh you guys didn't have to get us anything," said Kelly.

"Well, it depends. What you get us?" asked Brandon trying to be funny.

Kelly playfully hits Brandon.

"Thanks for coming, guys. Food's there...there…and everywhere all around," said Brandon.

Steve and Brandon walk off.

"We actually bought you something else. But somehow we left it in the store. We're very sorry," said Janet.

"Janet, don't be silly. It's ok. You didn't need to bring anything. We're just glad you're here," said Kelly giving Janet a hug.

Janet looks relieved.

"So, you ready for another one?" asked Janet.

"Ready or not, she's coming out," replied Kelly.

Janet chuckles.

"That's the spirit," said Janet.

Brandon follows Steve to the food area. Steve grabs a plate and starts to fill a plate.

"You guys got everything ready?" asked Steve.

"Yeah. We got everything in a bag, notified everyone, and we're good to go when it's time," replied Brandon.

"That's great, Bran," said Steve.

"Hey Steve, remember when you told me about how Janet didn't want to have sex when she was pregnant?" asked Brandon.

"Oh yeah; those were dark days. I remember crying myself to sleep wondering if my little buddy will ever get any ever again," replied Steve.

"And did you?" asked Brandon.

"Yes, I have. I get to visit the Promise Land again!" replied Steve in a very funny and dramatic fashion.

"Cute," smirked Brandon.

"Why, is Kelly resisting?" asked Steve still filling up his plate.

"No, I am," replied Brandon.

Steve stops and looks at Brandon.

"Wait…what?" asked Steve.

"Well, you know about the Kelly's miscarriage. I'm just worried if we do anything, it'll happen again," replied Brandon.

Steve puts his plate down and goes over to Brandon. He puts his arm around Brandon.

"Brandon, that's a noble thing to do…but you are a stupid stupid man for turning down sex," said Steve.

Janet and Madeline walk over to Steve.

"How's it going, guys?" asked Janet.

"Just fine. Brandon and I were just catching up," replied Steve.

"Dad, can I have some soda?" asked Madeline.

"Sure Maddy. In fact, I'm gonna get some too. I love soda," replied Steve.

Steve pours Madeline a cup of soda.

"In fact, I'm sure Kelly would love some too. Isn't that right, Brandon," snickered Steve to Brandon.

Brandon gives Steve a look.

Steve pours a cup to Brandon.

"Here, Brandon. Here's a cup. Can you go and give it to Kelly?" asked Steve moving his eyebrows up and down.

Brandon politely takes the cup and gives Steve a mean stare.

"Steve, what are you talking about?" asked Janet confused.

"Maddy honey; why don't you go and find Sammy. I know he would love to see you," said Brandon.

"Ok," said Madeline.

She walks away.

"Steve here was just having a laugh at my expense," said Brandon.

"Care to fill me in?" asked Janet.

"Mind if you fill me in too?" asked Andrea who joins them.

"Sure; the more the merrier," replied Brandon.

"Hello Andrea!" said Steve and Janet.

"Hi Steve. Hi Janet," said Andrea.

They all hug.

"Andrea and Janet, it's nothing. Kelly and I are working it out…and we'll do that without Steve's help," said Brandon.

"Huh? Are you guys having problems?" asked Janet.

"No Janet, we're fine," said Brandon.

"Oh, is it because you can't give any to Kelly?" asked Andrea making funny noises.

"Oh…," giggled Janet.

"She told you?" asked Brandon.

"Brandon, it's not a big deal. Kelly just mentioned it. It's a common thing for guys to react this way," replied Andrea.

"Not for a straight guy," joked Steve.

Everyone except for Brandon laughs.

"Ok, I'm walking away from you guys now," said Brandon walking away.

Everyone have another laugh after watching Brandon walk away.

Brandon walks to the kitchen and sees Kelly.

"Hi," said Brandon.

"Hey," said Kelly.

"Just the person I was looking for. Can you take these to the table?" asked Kelly.

"Sure. Did you tell Andrea about us?" asked Brandon.

"About us what?" asked Kelly confused.

"Us…about you know," replied Brandon.

"Huh?" asked Kelly who looks confused and a little frustrated.

"Sex," replied Brandon with a serious look on his face.

"So what?" asked Kelly.

"Now everyone knows," replied Brandon.

"And who do you have to blame for that?" asked Kelly with a funny look.

"It's not funny. You know how I feel," said Brandon, who is not amused.

"Brandon, I'm sorry. But can we talk about this later?" asked Kelly.

"Yeah," replied Brandon starting to walk away.

"Hey, take these with you," said Kelly pointing to the plates of food that Brandon forgot to take with him.

Brandon comes back and takes the plates of food with him.

Kelly notices Brandon's angry mood.

We hear the doorbell ring. Kelly goes and opened the door. She smiles when she sees Jim and Cindy.

"Jim; Cindy….good to see you," said Kelly.

"Oh thanks for inviting us," said Cindy who leans in for a hug.

"Congratulations; you look beautiful," said Jim who leans in and gives Kelly a quick kiss on the cheek.

Jim and Cindy walk in.

"Thanks," said Kelly rubbing her belly.

"And thanks again for staying here for helping us out after the birth," added Kelly.

"Not a problem. We are here for you," said Cindy.

"Brandon's here somewhere. He's been so busy with school and his classes," said Kelly.

Brandon walks up behind Kelly.

"Someone mentioned my name?" asked Brandon.

"Yes, your lovely parents are here," replied Kelly acting graciously.

"Oh, I think I remember these people," joked Brandon.

Brandon kisses Cindy on the cheek and hugs Jim.

"We'll try not to be too much in the way," said Jim.

"No, you guys are always welcome here," said Kelly.

"In fact, what can I do for you now?" asked Cindy.

"Oh no; everything is taken care of. This is a party. You guys just enjoy yourselves," replied Kelly.

"Yeah, cmon mom and dad; I'll fix you both a plate," said Brandon.

"Oh you guys go ahead; I just wanted to talk to Kelly for a moment," said Cindy.

"Ok," said Brandon.

"Let's go," said Jim.

Brandon and Jim walks away to the food area.

"So, what do you want to talk about, Cindy?" asked Kelly.

"I know Brandon is very busy now with his new job. Does he have time to help you out?" replied Cindy.

"Yeah, he does. But I'm fine in taking care of myself," said Kelly.

"Oh Kelly, you can tell me the truth. Jim and I don't have to go back. We can stay here starting today," said Cindy taking Kelly's hand.

"Oh, that's very sweet but we're fine at the moment. Everyone's being taken care of," smiled Kelly.

"You sure?" asked Cindy.

"Yeah, we'll be fine," said Kelly.

"Well, let me know if you change your mind," said Cindy.

"I will…now c'mon; let's get you a plate," said Kelly.

"Ok," said Cindy.

Brandon and Jim are sitting at the table. Jim is eating and Brandon is having a drink.

"How's the food?" asked Brandon.

"It's good," replied Jim.

"Hey, thanks again for coming back and helping out after the baby is born," said Brandon.

"Oh no problem; your mother was wondering if we should just stay here instead of leaving and coming back," said Jim.

"Mmmm…it would save you guys a trip…plus I'm worried about Kelly who thinks that she can still do everything even though she's pregnant," said Brandon.

"So you want us to keep an eye out on her?" asked Jim.

"Well….sort of…but not like spy on her every move. I'm just not always around so it'll be nice for someone to be here just in case she needs help with something," replied Brandon.

"Ok then; should I tell your mom that were staying?" asked Jim.

"I'll run it by Kel but yea, I don't' see why not," replied Brandon.

Kelly and Cindy join Brandon and Jim at the table.

"Hey, mind if we join you guys?" asked Cindy.

"No, not at all," replied Jim.

"So what were you guys talking about?" asked Kelly as they take a seat.

"Oh nothing…except how generous my parents are," replied Brandon.

"You guys sure are," said Kelly smiling.

"In fact, they were thinking about just staying here and start helping out now…isn't that great, Kel?" asked Brandon.

"Yeah, except, we don't want to inconvenience them," replied Kelly with a stern look on her face.

"It's not an inconvenience. In fact, it'll save them a trip back home and a trip back here," said Brandon.

"That's true; but they don't have their stuff with them," argued Kelly.

"Well, we're very low key…we'll manage…we'll just buy whatever we need," said Jim.

Cindy nudges Jim's leg; hinting him not to involve himself in this argument.

Kelly and Brandon give mean stares to one another. Jim and Cindy notice.

"Umm…why don't you two just discuss this among yourselves and just let us know what you decide. And whatever you choose, it's fine with us," smiled Cindy. Jim and Cindy start to get up from the table.

"No; it's fine. You guys can stay. We really could use your help," said Kelly with a tiring look.

"You sure?" asked Cindy.

"Yeah…we're happy to have you here," replied Kelly.

Cindy looks at Brandon.

"Sure…why don't you two talk it over first. Take your time…we'll be here all day….c'mon Jim," said Cindy.

"No, you guys stay...we'll talk in private," said Brandon.

"Fine," said Kelly.

"Jim and Cindy, please excuse us. You both have a great time," said Brandon.

"Thanks…and I'm sorry for any problems," said Cindy.

"No problem; there was just a miscommunication on our part," said Brandon.

"We'll let you know," said Kelly.

Brandon and Kelly walk away.

Jim and Cindy look at each other with a concerning look.

Brandon and Kelly walk into their bedroom and close the door.

"I can't believe you told them they can stay now without checking with me first," said Kelly.

"I didn't say that. I said they offered and I told Jim that I was going to check with you," said Brandon.

"Oh, it's up to me to be the bad guy?" asked Kelly.

"What bad guy?" asked Brandon confused.

"Brandon, it's just not a good time for them to be here now. We're not ready," replied Kelly.

"They can just stay in the guest room like they did during our honeymoon," argued Brandon.

"The place is a mess. We have stuff everywhere," said Kelly.

"What do you think this is? Some kind of bed and breakfast? They're Jim and Cindy. They're ok with this," said Brandon.

"Brandon, there'll just be too much people in this house. It's already crazy enough as it is. I just want some peace and quiet," said Kelly looking really stressed out.

"You didn't let me know," said Brandon.

Kelly gives Brandon a mean stare.

"I'm sorry; I'll just tell them that they'll just need to come back when we are ready," said Brandon.

"No, because if we say no now, it'll just make it look like I don't want them here," said Kelly.

Brandon looks down and doesn't respond to Kelly.

"That's what you think, do you?" asked Kelly.

"No Kel, what's not what I think. But I was wondering why is Kelly being so difficult with me lately," replied Brandon.

"I could say the same about you," said Kelly.

"Man, I'm hoping that it's the baby hormones talking," said Brandon who looks really frustrated.

Kelly has a very sad look on her face.
