Chapter 6

"Is there something you want to tell me Miguel?" Eve said turning to the young man in front of her

He shook his head and all the strain he was suddenly under started to show. She gave him a few moments to compose himself "I don't know how to"

"How to what?" She debated trying to comfort him, but he didn't look like he wanted anyone near him at this point.

"How to say this, how to think this." he started to pace as he couldn't finish his sentence.

So she said the words for him, "Is Kay pregnant Miguel?"

He stopped, he froze, the words had been said, and there was no chance in running from them now, ignoring the possibility that she.that they. "She might be" is all he said

"And it's yours?" she knew that fear in his eyes, their age, their wrongness for each other, the surprise this was, and the disbelief that it brought.

He just nodded "I don't know how to stop this wedding."

He stood looking out the window, his back facing Eve, she walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder "Are you sure you want to? Kay.."

"I don't think Kay realizes, or even if she does she doesn't want me too." He turned to face her "She changed, can you see that? Can you see how she changed? All I see when I look at her now is Kay, my Kay, my best friend and everything that's ever meant. I can't see anything that's happened these past few years, all of that's been erased from her eyes, her soul. She's so beautiful to look at again, there's this radiance from deep within her, this peace. She wants what's best for me and she thinks that's Charity."

"So you think she's keeping this from you to keep you with Charity?" Eve struggled to comprehend that, it was a well known fact that Kay had wanted Miguel for herself, but now come to think of it, she had looked different, so much younger..

He paused for a second "No, no I think I'd be able to see that. I don't see any lies or deception when she's talking to me. I don't think she knows." Then suddenly he groaned and fell into a chair cupping his face with his hands in an almost prayer "She's so young Dr. Russell, Kay's just got her life back. How can this be happening?"

"Miguel, we don't know anything for sure. We'll take her to the hospital now, we'll find out."

He looked up "The wedding?"

"Don't worry I'll take care of it."
