Chapter 9
The Sky is falling!
No one spoke for a few moments as they stared at Eve. Had she said that she had good news and bad news? No one ever wanted to hear a doctor say that, especially not to someone who was pregnant.
"What is wrong with Kay and the baby?" Miguel asked alarmed, as he jumped up to hug Kay. If anything happened to her or the baby he would never be able to forgive himself. Not after the way that he had treated her over the past three years.
"Calm down Miguel," Eve insisted. "Let me explain what is happening before you get so upset."
Miguel looked embarrased as he sat back down in his chair. Ok, maybe he was jumping to conclusions.
"OK, we're ready Eve," Sam assured her. But he was about like Miguel was, at the point of jumping out of his seat. If something was wrong with Kay, and if Grace didn't support him or Kay, he was going to divorce her. He loved Grace, but didn't understand how that she could be so cold to her own flesh and blood.
"Ok, the good news is that the baby is healthy!" Dr. Russell said, with a smile. "But...as far as Kay, well she is pretty much healthy but she also has a rare condition."
Sam's heart jumped into his throat. A rare condition? Beside him, Miguel looked as if he might pass out. Kay just rocked back and forth on her heels calmly. She already knew what was wrong with her. But she couldn't help smiling to herself seeing Miguel all concerned over her. Maybe he would be hers after all, thanks to her miracle baby.
"A rare condition?" Sam said finally. "she isn't dying is she?"
Eve smiled. "No Sam, she isn't dying. Kay is anemic, which is common. She will have a lot LESS energy and will sleep for hours. Don't bother her if at all possible, during this time because she needs her rest. But now on to the rare condition. Kay is RH negative. In laymans terms that means that because she is A- in blood type that her white blood cells and body will try to destroy the baby as if it was a virus. But the good thing is that if she has a shot within her 28th week, we can stop that from happening."
Sam now looked as if he was going to pass out. There didn't sound like there was anything good mixed in that. His poor daughter would have trouble having children for the rest of her life. Surely Grace would have sympathy for her now. If not, no matter how much it hurt, he was going to ask her for a divorce and take Kay and Jessica {if Jess wanted to go} with him to another house to live.
"What can I do to help?" Miguel asked, concered. Maybe he didn't plan on having a baby with Kay,but he was and he didn't want anything to happen to his unborn child. He also wanted to Kay to be ok. It was time to grow up and start acting like a man. And he needed to sort out his feelings for Kay. After what Charity had said, he wondered why he had ever loved her. Now he knew for sure that he never wanted to be back with the cold hearted blonde. But Kay was another story he was still confused.
"What you can do is make sure Kay shows up for every appointment and takes her prenatal. Don't let her over do it. She is more frail than most pregnant women. And make sure she eats well and gets enough sleep. You can help with too Sam."
Kay bit back a smile. Miguel really was being noble about all of this. Maybe he really did care about her, even though he sometimes didn't act like he did. "When is my next appointment, Dr. Russell?"
Eve turned to smile at Kay. It was such a shame that she was pregnant at such a young age. And by someone whose heart was else where. But then again, Eve had always thought that Kay and Miguel belonged together. Secretly she still did, but she would never admit it. Grace Bennett was her best friend and she would never say something to get her started on the fate and love kick. But even she had to admit that Grace was acting evem more weird than usual. "Come back in two weeks on the 31st, at 10:00 am.
"I will, thank you." Kay said.
"Kay, can we talk?" Miguel asked pulling her to the side.
"Sure. About what?"
"Us, and our baby." Miguel said. As he looked in Kays cobalt blue eyes he had a desire to kiss her, but managed to resist.
'He said us and our baby!" Kay though estaically. "Ok. But do you really want to talk here?"
Miguel looked around. No, he didn't want total strangers to know what was going on in his life. "No, of course not. Let's go to mama's house."
He wouldn't admit it to Kay, but he had only suggested his house to avoid Charity. Well, and maybe because he knew that they would be alone. 'what am i thinking?' he pondered, 'I only want to talk to her' but deep in his heart he knew that wasn't true. His feelings for Kay were finally surfacing.
"Ok sure." Kay said evenly.
"Sorry to interrupt," Sam said from behind them. "But I need to speak with my daughter privately please."
Kay gulped. 'Daddy,please don't tell me you're against me now to' she thought as she watched Miguel walk away.
"What's up Daddy?"
Sam sighed. This wasn't going to be easy. "Look sweetie, I know that things have been stressful between you and your mom. Because of that, I have come to a decision."
'Oh no, here it goes. He's going to kick me out.' "What kind of decision?" she asked, dreadfully.
"Look, I am going to tell your Mom what Dr. Russell said," Sam said, "and if she doesn't want to help us then I am going to get a legal seperation for her. I love your mom, and I know you do too, even though she has hurt you. But I can't live with her if she doesn't support her own child."
Kay was thrilled but she worked extra hard to look concerned. She hated her mother now for all that she had done to her, but she didn't want her dad to know. If she played this right, then maybe Sam would divorce her mom and then Grace would know what it was like to lose the man she loved. And hopefully her dad would marry Ivy. Most people hated her, but Kay understood where she was coming from.
Sam was Ivy's first love. Then she got pregnant by Sam, but she didn't know until that it was too late. Sam and she were over. Then that bitch Grace stole him away from her. So yes, she and Kay were very alike indeed. Besides, Ivy was nice to her. Other than her father no one else had been.
Meanwhile at the Bennett house....
Sam came home to find his house smelling like a gourmet restaraunt. SO Grace and Charity had been cooking again. It had been a long time since they had cooked. First they were busy with the wedding plans and then attacking Kay. But no more. Even if it meant losing his wife, Sam would protect his daughter.
"Grace, I'm home. Where are you?"
"I'm right here, " She stated, coming from kitchen. She wiped her hands on a dishtowel and smiled. "I am glad you are home."
Sam just looked at her for a moment. "We need to have a serious talk."
Grace paled instantly. She didn't like this at all. Charity had a premoniton earlier of Sam marrying Ivy. Now he had came home wanting a serious talk. "OK, what about?"
"Kay."
Grace looked furious at the mention of her daughters name. Sam noticed it right off and it pissed him off too. How dare a mother hate her child so much.
"Why do we have to talk about her?" Grace asked "I thought we could have some alone time."
Sam glared at her. "I don't want alone time. I want to discuss my daughters doctor visit!"
Grace sighed. She had no choice but to find out what was going on with Kay. For all she cared {and hoped} Kay was dying or would die giving birth. After all, she did love Charity more. Even more than Jessica.
Sam began explaining what was wrong with Kay, and didn't notice Charity creeping into the room.
'Oh honey, trust me, if I can help it at all, Kay will miss than shot' Charity thought, trying not to laugh. Then she headed up the stairs. Could this get any better?
"So," Sam concluded, "Heres the thing, you either help me with Kay or...."
"I would never help that bitch!" Grace spat angerily. "That...that...girl ruined Charity and Miguel's life, not to mention her own. Why would I want to help her?"
Sam was beginnng to see his wife in a new light. "Because she is your daughter."
"So what," Grace ranted, "She's evil Sam. Why can't you see that?"
Sam gritted his teeth. "No Grace you are evil. how can you not love your own flesh and blood? I want a legal seperation. I am going to file for it just as soon as I speak to Jessica. Kay and I are moving out and I want to know if Jess wants to go to."
Grace was so shocked she couldn't speak. She never imagined Sam leaving her. Not after the whole situation with David. Now what was she going to do?
"Damn you Kay, I WILL make you pay for this!" she spat as she headed back to the kitchen.
A/N : As far the pregnancy deal, it is a true disorder and I thought it would spice things up. Tell me do u want Sam and Ivy together too?
In the next Chapter
Sam talks to Jessica, Kay and Miguel talk, and then he kisses her. What will that lead to??? plus a few more surprises.
