THE NEXT DAY...

~*Kay*~

Kay was upstairs reading her book, Gone with the Wind. It reminded her of her own life with Miguel. She was Scarlett O'hara, Miguel was Ashley (a guy) and Charity was Melanie. Come to think of it, Fox was starting to be Rhett Butler, the person that Scarlett was using to get Ashley.

Kay chuckled to herself. Oh, how everything reminds you of what your going through when things happen. Hmm.. Just then she heard the doorbell ring. She raced down the steps.. Was it Fox maybe? She had given him her phone number, and he knew where she lived by escorting her home.

She ran to the door and opened it eagerly to see Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald.

"Hey Kay." he smiled at her. "Can I come in."

Kay glared at him. Then she slammed the door in his face.

She was about to go upstairs when she heard some more knocking and yelling.

"COME ON KAY! OPEN UP! PLEEEEEEASE!"

Kay rolled her eyes and opened the large door. Without hestitating, Miguel came in so she wouldn't decide to close the door in his face again.

"What do YOU want?" Kay asked, her arms crossed over her chest. This was her new method of getting Miguel. Make him want her by being distant.

"To talk to you." he said softly. He was about to touch her face but suddenly Kay turned around and stalked into the livingroom and took a seat.

"Fine." she said giving him a look. "Talk."

He gulped. What was wrong with this girl? He was trying to be nice like Charity suggested but she wasn't making this easier, to say the least.

"I'm sorry for being so distant at the wedding." he explained. "I was really distressed because of Charity and didn't pay attention to your feelings. I apologize."

Kay nodded, unsatisfied. "Go on." she watched impatiently.

Miguel swallowed hard, then went on. "I'm sorry for interfering with you and Fox. You should be able to choose who you want to spend time with and I cannot do anything about it. Okay?"

She nodded with a smile.

"Thats better."

He smiled too. Something about Kay's smile--and her laugh now that he thought about it, made him want to smile and laugh too. Very infectious.

"So... no offence or anything but what do you see in this Fox dude?"

"I dont know." Kay shrugged. "He's cute, he's nice, he actually cares about talking to me."

"More like wanting to get you into bed." Miguel muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Kay asked, her eyebrows raised.

"Nothing." he answered quickly. "Are you guys going out?" Kay saw flashes of jealousy in his eyes.

"No Miguel." Kay sighed, amazed at his protectiveness. "Not yet--but we might. I'm not sure."

"Kay, listen to me. Don't get mad but, I really don't think you should go out with this guy. He's so not good for you."

"I can choose who I want to see, Miguel. And I don't know what will happen. We'll see." she said coolly, looking him in the eye.

He sighed, running his hands through his hair. "Fine Kay. Ruin your life. But don't say I didn't warn you."

Kay rolled her eyes. "Advice noted." she added sarcastically.

"Listen.." Miguel said sadly. "Kay, I want to be friends. Please try to be. For me?" Kay nodded.

"I'll try." she said softly, letting her guard down for a moment.

He smiled at her a warm smile, then leaned in to hug her.

They sat their hugging for a while, a joyous grin on Kay's face. Oh how wonderful it felt to be embracing Miguel. They fit so perfectly together. 'Just wait Miguel' Kay though to herself. 'Someday soon you'll be mine. And I know just how to do it.'



~*Charity*~



Charity darted up in bed, breathing heavily. Sweat was dripping down her face. What had just happened? She had a frightening nightmare where Kay killed Miguel then tried to kill her. There was no way that she was giving Miguel to Kay now without a fight! After all, he was her soulmate and she couldn't live without him. Kay wouldn't make Miguel happy! Only she could! Charity quickly got up in bed, pulling a pink satin night-coat over her pajamas.

What had been wrong with her before? Why was she giving up so easily? Because of one stupid little dream?! She was a fighter. Maybe she didnt look like it, after all her disposition was kind and sweet, but if you crossed her, oh boy, were you in for a beating.

Charity glared at a picture of the four women; Kay, her, Jessica and Grace. Evil Kay.

Trying to manipulate her into giving away Miguel! Well she wouldnt stand for it.

All the pain she was going through. All the hurt. It was because of Kay. Kay made her life miserable. Now Charity was going to pay her back. She would steal Miguel back.. after all, he was rightfully hers. She would set Kay up with someone new; someone to take her mind off of Miguel. But who..? She had heard Jessica discussing Kay coming home with Fox Crane. Jessica was such a damn gossip. But she loved Charity, that was plain to see. She thought that Miguel and Charity belonged together, along with everyone else in the world.

"Because we do. Belong together." Charity muttered under her breath. No one could ever love Miguel like she did. She would make sure Fox noticed Kay. Then Miguel would be all hers.

Just as Charity begun snickering evily, she heard a high pitch laugh coming from downstairs.

Kay.... That slutty tinkling giggle could be heard everywhere. She frowned in disgust. But who was she with...Better not be.. then a deep throaty chuckle was heard. MIGUEL. Oh NO! Miguel was taking her advice and spending time with Kay. Damn him. DAMN HER. WAIT A SECOND! She was the one who told him to spend time with Kay! DAMN HERSELF!!! UGHHHH. Charity wailed and started pounding on her blankets hard. Her thin blonde hair, a mess. She banged her head against the wall. Nooooooo not Miguel. She couldnt let Kay steal Miguel again. NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT.

Charity scowled at the picture of Kay, as she got up. YOUR NOT WINNING THIS WAR BENNETT.

She looked in the mirror. God...erm, I mean Gosh...heh heh..she was a MESS!

She ran a brush through her golden locks and smiled. Cute as ever. Yeah baby, she smacked her ass-I mean bum. She was lookin FIIIINE. Fine enough to make out with Miguel and make him forget that Kaybitch, downstairs was ever born. Kaybitch. She smiled evily to herself. That was the perfect name for the dumb brunette. After all, blondes DID have more fun. She snickered as she ran down the stairs.

"Miguel!" she exclaimed happily. She lost her focus for a moment and glared at Kay.. ohhh that slutty tramp was awful close to her man. SHE BETTER WATCH OUT! FOR THE WRATH OF CHARITY!!!! (Damn that didnt sound good, too sweet for her new bad-ass..umm..butt.. self. She made a mental note to change it some day) She regained her focus and smiled again. She had to seem like the sweet innocent happy Charity she once was. The one that Miguel, sweet sweet handsome sexy, fine, hot, damn lookin good...ohhk enough... She had to FOCUS.

FOOOOCCCCUUUSSSS.

The one that Miguel knew and loved.

"Charity!" Miguel stood up quickly, shocked by her sudden happiness.

Charity noticed a evil glare come from Kay. Ah well. The girl would get her dues soon.

"Miguel!" Charity hugged him. "I was sooo awfully scared. I had a terribly scary dream.. gosh Miguel, it was scary!!"

"Its okay Charity." Miguel held her tight. "Your alright now. Everything will be fine."

"Miguel. I realized that your the only man for me. Im sorry for not believing or forgiving you before. I do now. Miguel, I'll take you back if you still want me. I love you soo much, hunnie-bear, too much to ever ever EVER let you go."

Miguel's face lightened up. "I was hoping you finally would come into reason...sorry Kay. I have to spend quality time with my baby." He lifted Charity up into his arms, and she squealed. She kissed his cheek and he carried her up the stairs. Charity looked back to Kay and noticed her glaring. She quickly stuck her tonque out at Kay as she continued up the stairs giggling.

~*Kay*~



Oh that little BRAT! She had won this round, but she wouldn't win the war. Kay had his baby, and thats all that mattered. bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha! Charity would pay! Miguel would leave her for Kay, how you ask? She knew just the way!! Charity would be an old maid.....FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!

She picked up the phone. "Hello? Yes? Hi..you recognized my voice? Can we get together for a bit? Yeah..yeah..tonight if you can...I couldnt wait to see you...(laughs) yeah. yeah. Okay! See you in an hour! Bye!"

Just then she heard someone run down the stairs. She saw Charity.

Charity came up to Kay, the same sweet smile on her face, but her eyes told a different story. They were glowing, mean and hateful.

"Whats up Charity?" Kay asked suspiciously, as she stood up.

"Oh, hello my dear cousin." Charity smiled largly. "Now, I need to talk to you about something Kay, sweetie. Please, sit." She sat on the couch. Kay stood, not falling for Charity's tricks. She was too smart for that. "SIT." Charity growled as she pulled Kay to the couch.

An adorable smile reeappeared on her face. "Now, my dear cousin. Miguel thinks we should have a talk. We both know that you have a little..how shall I say this..? 'Infactuation' for my boyfriend. But I am here to comfort you. Its alright to move on with your life, which is what I reccomend. He loves me, I love him and we are going to be happy. Nothing you can do will change that..understand?" Kay narrowed her eyes. Oh she understood alright.

"But Charity." Kay smiled innocently. "Im carrying his child, right here, remember? Aunt Charity? He will forever have a connection to me." Charity scowled.

"Thats not going to work again Kay. I've learned you need to fight for what you want. You may be pregnant with his baby, but soon I will be too. I will sleep with Miguel tonight, we will make love so wonderful that he will be going 'Kay who?' Not that he wasnt doing that before. "

"You keep telling yourself that." Kay smirked.

Charity grabbed her, violently.

"Listen, hun. My wonderful Cousin. Miguel loves me. Not you. Get it through your thick skull. You cant stop me from sleeping with Miguel. If you so much as try to do so, or stop him then I swear I will make your life miserable. I've taken enough of your crap."

"Oh, is that a threat?" Charity nodded. "Oh Im so scared. Little miss muffett just threatened the spider. Oh Im soooo incredibly frightened. In the words of, well, you, Gosh its scary Miguel!"

"Shut up." Charity growled as she stood up. "And I'm warning you Kay Bennett. Leave us alone or I can assure you, that your baby wont live to see it's first day."

Charity smiled as she began walking up the stairs. "I'll give Miguel a kiss for you, Kay sweetie." She then continued walking, leaving Kay, extremely mad.

How DARE she! What happened to the sweet naive Charity? Somehow she must've snapped. Putting on a good act for Miguel though. And if she made love to Miguel...? Kay would just have to stop that. Fox would be here anytime soon. That would make Miguel jealous, he would never leave Kay and Fox alone together in the house, he would never make love to Charity.

Kay smirked, and leaned back, her arms crossed over her chest. Charity, this is WAR.



~*Fox*~



Fox parked his silver jeep in front of the red Bennett house. He was here to see Kay, the cute brunette from The Book Cafe. They had became friends, after she had lost the ice queen act, of course. After blowing off Lopez- Fitzgerald, they went to the beach and hung out for a little while. He liked Kay. She was different then most people here, she wasn't shallow or full of herself. She was completely real, not trying to make an act like most people here. Everyone was so damn nice and annoying here. So completely unreal. Kay, like him, told it like it was. He talked to her and she told him about her problems with the jerk Miguel, and her family. She told him about her mom being a total bitch. Fox could relate completely. He slammed the door of the jeep and walked to the front door. He couldnt believe it when Kay had phoned him, well, it was obvious she LIKED him. But, to call him after just seeing him that day? She must have something up her sleeve.. He rang the doorbell. After a minute or so, the door opened.

"Hey Fox!" said Kay, wearing a smile on her face.

"Hey Kay Bennett." Fox smiled slyly. She leaned over and gave him a hug.

"How are you?" she asked, as she led him in.

"Good, good. You?"

"Fine. Miguel payed me a visit tonight." she sighed as she sat on the couch.

Fox rolled his eyes and sat next to her.

"Honestly Kay, that guys a jerk. What did he do?"

"He apologized for being mean today, and for not treating me and the baby well." Kay explained. "We were having a good time....until..." her eyes went into mad slits.

"Until what?" Fox asked.

"SHE came down. And made up with him, the little brat."

"She?" he asked confused.

"Charity, the little slutty angel." Kay growled.

"Ohhhhh."

"Yeah. Oh. She took him upstairs then came back to talk to me."

"What did she say?"

"She threatened me. Told me she hated me for what I did, and that she wouldnt be a fool anymore. She said that this was payback time. She said that she would make love to Miguel tonight, and get pregnant from him. And if I stopped her, my baby wouldn't see its first day." Kay gulped back tears.

"Dont be scared of that power hungry dork." Fox scoffed, pulling Kay into a hug. "Everything will be okay. I'll help you in any way you need. What do you want?"

"Fox, can I ask you for a really big favour?"

He nodded. "Sure, ask away."

"Can you pretend to be my boyfriend to get Miguel jealous?"



~*Kay*~



"Let me get this straight--" Fox started. "You want me, to pretend to be YOUR boyfriend, to make Miguel jealous. That would help you against Charity..HOW?!"

"Miguel will get jealous and dump Charity. She cant blame me for his jealousy. Please please PLEASE Fox? Your my only hope!!!"

"Alright." Fox sighed, leaning back. "Im a sucker for pretty girls." he grinned.

"Thank you!" Kay threw her arms around Fox. She knew she could count on him.

"No problem hun." he laughed. "So you never told me, why are you so hung up on this guy?" Kay thought for a moment.

"I dont know." she admitted. "Hes sweet, hes handsome..hes funny...he's my best friend in the world. The only one who ever understands- - or understood me, anyway."

"When did you start liking him?" Fox asked.

"Oh, I dont know.." Kay started. A dreamy smile appeared on her face. "Oh wait, I do. I was nine. It was my birthday"



~*FLASHBACK*~



"Happy Birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear KaaaaaAAAAAYYY! Happy Birthday tooooooo yoooooouUUUUUUU!" The children sang off note.

Little Kay sat at the end of the table, a smile on her rosey cheeks. Her bright blue eyes were shining with joy, and she was wiggling impatiently in her seat. She was wearing a pink flowered dress and her dark brown hair, in curls.

"Okay." her younger looking daddy smiled from across the table. "Blow out the candles, princess."

Kay took a deep breath in and blew out the candles, leaving two.

"Ooooh!" a seven year old Jessica smiled, her cheeks chubby. "Kay has..one...two...TWO! Boyfriends!!!"

"Oooh." the kids said in chorus.

"I'm one of her boyfriends." Sam smiled. He came over and took his daughter in his arms. She smiled and kissed his cheek.

"I love you daddy."

"I love YOU sugar. Your nine now, how do you feel?"

"BIG!" Kay grinned.

"I know who the second boyfriend is!" claimed little Simone as Kay got set down.

"Who?" whispered Kay curiously.

"Miguel. He loves you Kay. He wants to marry you." Simone whispered.

"Shut up dumb-bumb. He's my friend, not boyfriend." Kay exclaimed.

"Are you sure?" Simone asked, with a smile.

Kay sat there curiously for a bit while the other kids ran outside and began a game of tag.

"Kay. Are you ok?" asked a little Miguel. His face was younger, but still handsome, with big smiling brown eyes and a cute button nose.

"Ya Miguel. I'm fine." Kay smiled up at him.

"Are you coming to the party?" asked Miguel, as he sat beside her.

"Not right now." Kay replied. "Miguel, you can go if you want. I dont want to make you sad."

"No its ok. I want to stay with you."

"Why?" she asked. "Dont you wanna play with Reese, Jessica, Simone and the others?"

"I'd rather be with you. Your my bestest friend Kay."

Kay looked over at her loyal friend. "Your my bestest friend too, Miggs."

She gave him a tight hug.

"I'll always be your bestest friend." Miguel stated, a small smile on his face. "Forever."

"Me too, Miguel. I will always love you."

"I love you too." he said shyly.

Kay leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek, he let her.

"Arent you gonna scream and say you got cooties now Miggs? Thats what you did when Julie gave you a kiss."

"You are a girl, but you dont have cooties. Your special." he smiled at her. She smiled back. "Neither do you. Do you wanna give me a kiss?"

"Ok." he smiled. He leaned over and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and quickly went back to sitting, shyly, looking down. "I feel funny." he said after a few seconds.

"Me too." Kay looked down. "Its weird. Im supposed to have two boyfriends but I only have one, Daddy."

"I'll be your boyfriend Kay." Miguel smiled proudly.

"Really? Thank you Miguel!!" Kay squealed.

"Lets go back to the party Katy." he used his nickname for her.

"Ok." he offered his hand and she took it. The small pair went outside.

"Ooooh." Reese exclaimed. "Kay and Miguel are holding hands! Theyre getting married."

"KAY AND MIGUEL! SITTING IN A TREE! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!!!"

"Are not!!" Kay angrily screamed.

"FIRST COMES LOVE THEN COMES MARRIAGE THEN COMES MIGUEL WITH A BABY CARRIAGE!!"

"Shut up!" Miguel yelled. "I dont even like her." Miguel shrugged away from her grasp.

"Me neither! Eww! Eww! I have COOTIES NOW!" Kay exclaimed.

The kids went back to their normal tag.

"Its our secret Katy." Miguel smiled, as he whispered. She nodded shyly.

"Aww you two look so cute!" exclaimed uncle hank. "Let me take a picure of you." They put their arms around each other and grinned.

"Our secret Katy." Miguel whispered as they walked to join the others.

She nodded. "Our secret Miggs."

~*END OF FLASHBACK*~

"Thats so cute!" Fox exclaimed laughing. "You two have quite a history, huh?" Kay nodded.

"And then Charity came and stole him away. I hate that little bitch."

"Well how are we going to stop him?" asked Fox.

"Lets go 'accidently' in." she smirked.

"Alright." they walked upstairs to hear music. Soft music, that was obviously to mute the love making noises.

"I hope were not too late." Kay whispered, worriedly.

She took a deep breath in and opened her parent's room's door.
