He put the petal do the metal and I saw Bonnie running after us, Josh looked into the review mirror.
"Who the hell…" He looked through it. "Is that trailer trash?"
"Bonnie." We looked at her, the speed limit was 10 but we were going way beyond that. We got home and saw Brian running around the house, with Julie? Josh looked at me… he didn't see her.
"Tell you what Kim, let me go spend time with my family for a day or two and I'll see you soon." He kissed me goodbye.
"Well well well, she's here he can't be far." I set my purse down on the table and walked into the kitchen and saw Ron.
"Ron? What are you doing here?" I walked to the refrigerator and pulled out a soda and opened it.
"Stopping by." He answered.
"Really?" I lifted a brow. "Why don't we go for a walk or something?"
"We could walk to Bueno Nacho!"
I was surprised that was still running.
"I got a double stroller, why don't you put your kid in the back seat of one and Brian can be in it to, even though they're much to big for it."
We dragged and fit the kids into it, and headed out the door. It was getting late. I wanted to start some conversation.
"I talked to Bonnie today." I didn't speak loud, I really didn't want him to hear that but I also did.
"You did?" He stopped for a while, I didn't notice I just kept walking. Then I stopped.
"Come on Ron, and yes I did." He ran towards me.
"What'd you guys talk about?"
"Well I asked her why she left you or whatever, and she said she was with Brick but he left her not to long ago and she needs to take better care of her kids. I'm glad you kept Julie because she wouldn't be a good mother. She isn't a good mother." I wanted to make him feel better.
"Yeah, the day Julie was born she told me to come into the room, she grabbed my collar and said 'I don't want that brat, you take it and name it and house it' she didn't even know its gender or anything."
"That's pretty sad," I shook my head. "I guess she just never was thought well or anything."
"She'd probably hurt the kid anyway, I'm just glad I took her in." Ron looked down and Julie who was sleeping in the cart.
"Josh got upset about me talking to you. He thinks that I'll stop hanging out with him and everything. He's gone, though. With his family and friends again." I picked Brian up out of his seat, I could tell he was getting hyper and needed to run around.
"Lets stop by the elementary school playground, they could run around for a while then we can go eat." I set Brian down on the seesaw. Ron set Julie on it, too. She was so tiny and short compared to Brian. He was the normal height for a 4 year old but she was so small and short.
"She's so tiny." I whispered.
"Yeah."
After a few hours it got real dark out. We started walking back after eating.
"It was nice talking to you again," I waved. "Keep the stroller." I walked inside and dragged Brian in, for some reason he didn't want to go.
Soon before I knew it I was back in Middleton for 4 months. I was getting together with Ron to tell him some shocking news. Brian recently had his 5th birthday and he was in school.
I sat down with Ron at lunch, and Josh. I had some news to tell them. I took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant." I said. Ron spit his drink out and Josh looked at me and smiled.
"How many months?"
"Barely." I was excited, I loved Brian and Brian loved other children so this would be great for him.
Josh and me walked out, we went to tell my family. Soon after that dilemma I had to go shopping for clothes again. I went out alone, maybe I'd call Ron on my cell phone and talk to him. He came into the store.
"Kim!" He walked over. "What are you going to name your kid if it's a boy or a girl?"
"Halley if it's a girl…Drew if it's a boy." I rubbed my tummy. "I think it's a girl. So the name is going to be Halley."
"So did you name Julie?" I asked.
"Nope. My mom did."
"Your mom?" I asked.
"I wanted to name her Rufus."
I couldn't help but laugh; "Rufus? I can't forget him." We both laughed and he looked a little sad. "Sorry Ron."
"Well he would have died anyway, right? I'm glad he died early."
"Yeah, but it's still sad." I remembered when I left Middleton.
"When I left Middleton I wasn't thinking of people's feelings. I hurt many people. Who knows where I would be if I stayed here. I hope I'd be with Josh. I love him more than anything." I leaned over the dummy.
"Yeah I wonder where I would be to, and Bonnie."
"I better visit Bonnie again." I told Ron and he shuddered. "I wonder if she took my advice. Besides I need to know if I can get in touch with other people like Liz or whoever."
"They all probably moved. The reunion is next year, though. They may be there."
"That'll be scary, Ron. Seeing everyone again." I turned around to see someone I thought I'd never see again.
"Kim? Ron? You guys are married?"
"Eww. No. I'm married to Josh Mankey. Ron and I just hang out together." I looked at her. "So how are you, Tara?"
"I'm fine, engaged in fact. I just came here to pick up some shoes. I got them so I'm going. Bye Ron. Bye Kim." She was gone in a flash. Her hair was cut real short and she dyed it brown. My hair now just fell past my shoulders.
"Everyone's changed. Look at her she's even gained some pounds."
"Yeah. Everyone changed. I don't see people that much anymore and if I do they just smile and wave or just smile. Mostly they'll just walk on by."
"Yeah, people these days."
"Do you ever wonder what happened to Shego?"
"Yes. All the time." I looked down. "It'd be nice to have a villain run in, wouldn't it? I'm sure they're all to old for it now and Shego doesn't want to take it on. She probably has a family of her own now.
After I got home I turned on the news and I watched it for a while, shutting it off and going to the door. I was hoping it'd be someone from my past life but there they were….
"Who the hell…" He looked through it. "Is that trailer trash?"
"Bonnie." We looked at her, the speed limit was 10 but we were going way beyond that. We got home and saw Brian running around the house, with Julie? Josh looked at me… he didn't see her.
