Authors note: Thank to all of you for reviewing this story. There will most likely be a couple more chapters to this and then it will be complete. I want to focus on some more stories I had in mind.
Chapter 15
Several months later
The New Bennett House
It is was early in the morning, around 8:00 am when Kay woke up. She wasn't feeling great, and her due date was near. Yawning, she went down stairs to have a light breakfast. To her surprise she saw her father sitting with Ivy on the couch. Jessica was already awake and chatting with them.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Kay asked, sitting down in an empty chair.
Sam smiled at her. "We have an announcement to make..." He was interrupted by the ringing of the doorbell. "That must be Miguel."
An announcement? Miguel at her house at 8 in the morning? What was going on? Shaking her head as if to clear it she went to answer the door. It was indeed Miguel.
"Good morning beautiful," He chirped, handing Kay a dozen roses. "How are you feeling?"
Ka laughed. How could he think she was beautiful, when she was nine months pregnant, her hair uncombed, and with no make up on. "Not good, " she admitted. "Probably as bad as I look."
Miguel gave her a kiss and stepped inside. "No, Kay you look wonderful."
Kay blushed, and remembered the rough road she had to get this far.
~Flashback~
Charity had been unbearable after Grace was placed in jail. She had thrown herself at Miguel every chance she got. Luckily, his love for Kay had been strong enough for him to reject her gently even when his patience had run out.
Unfortunately things had only gotten worse when Grace had gotten out of jail. The judge refused her request to see Jessica and Kay. So Grace was determined to take it out on Kay. She followed her oldest daughter every where she went, yelling at her, getting her nerves a wreck. AS a result Kay had been hospitalized more than once due to it.
The evil duo even went as far as to almost make Kay miss the shot that would protect her unborn child. Grace had started fighting with Kay while Charity messed with her car. They reasoned if the car wouldn't start, Kay couldn't meet Dr. Russell.
As luck would have it though, her father was on patrol and drove by and seen Grace fighting with Kay and separated them. He took her to the doctor and came back to for her car. Unfortunately the car was gone. It had "rolled" down an embankment. The report said that the brakes weren't on. Sam and Kay knew that wasn't true. She would never leave her car in drive but they weren't going to argue. All they wanted was for Grace and Charity to leave them alone.
In the end they had to get restraining orders against them, but the duo had followed them to a tee up until the present time. Miguel chose to the same thing with Charity and for the last month things have been fine.
~End Flashback~
So now here they were, Kay engaged to Miguel, Jessica getting serious with Nick and Ivy and Sam had an announcement.
Miguel took a seat next to Kay and waited to see what the announcement was/
Sam and Ivy stood up.
"Girls, I know things have been hard on all of us over the past year. But I thank God that our lives are in order now. Kay is finally happy, and so are you Jessica. Now I am as well...."
Ivy grinned. "I, too, am happy. I love both of you dearly, and I will always be here for you. I still love your father. Maybe even more so than before. That is why that we have decided to get married."
The house erupted in noise. Everyone was congratulating the happy couple, and having a good time. Things were finally going right again in Harmony!
Just then there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it," Jessica volunteered. She was hoping it was Nick, even though she had come to know that he was not a morning person.
At the same time Kay was hugging Ivy. "I am so happy for you Ivy, and you too dad." She was saying. "Ivy, thank you for being here for me during this pregnancy. You were my rock and..." She broke off with a cry of pain.
"Are you ok?" Miguel panicked. Then he saw a liquid dripping in the floor. "You're...water..Broke." He muttered then passed out.
"Oh great," Kay said through her pain. "If that made him pass out I am so screwed in the delivery room." Another pain washed over her.
"Ivy help me get her to the squad car. " Sam demanded. "Hurry!"
The couple helped support Kay to the door. Then stopped cold. Jessica just stood there speechless. It was Charity and Grace. What could they possibly want?
Authors note: sorry so short, I am must trying to think of a good way to end this. Should grace and Charity apologize to Kay and Sam? Should they be friends again even if that is all they could be? Or should they be there to start trouble? I won't write the next chapter till I get 2 reviews so I know how to proceed.
