Part 2
"Knock, knock" I said walking through the door of Morgan's cozy two story house twenty minutes later. "It's about time" she grumbled, walking out to meet me, "You're late" I looked at my watch, "Only by ten minutes" I replied smiling at her, "You'll never guess who I ran into at Starbucks" Morgan shrugged, a hand absentmindedly laying on her stomach; she was in her 7th month of pregnancy and starting to get big.
I took off my coat and draped it over the edge of her couch, "Hunter Niall" I told her. Morgan's mouth dropped open in surprise, "Hunter?" she sputtered, "As in…Hunter?" I laughed at the expression on her face, "Yes, Hunter, as in Hunter. He's a doctor now" I told her approvingly, "He seems to be doing quite well for himself, we talked for a while and I gave him my number"
Morgan shook her head, "Mary K." she said, in that almost reproachful, mothering way she'd adopted since she'd had children. "What?" I exclaimed, "And my name's Kate" "Your name's Mary K. and don't start dating him to just be more rebellious." I rolled my eyes and asked, "Do you honestly believe I just do things to annoy the hell out of you?" Morgan stayed silent, giving me a look that said, 'sometimes I do'
I threw my hands up in exasperation, "Right, I'm the bad daughter now, I forgot that you were sainted at marriage and I had to take over for you" I snapped sarcastically, cuttingly. I knew I'd hurt her, but at the moment I didn't really care. She could feel what she wanted; I just wished she wouldn't judge me so harshly.
Why do you want to be the bad daughter? I looked up, "I don't" I snapped. Morgan looked confused, "Don't what?" she asked. I rolled my eyes exasperatedly, "I don't want to be the bad daughter" I replied, "You just said that I did"
Morgan's eyes grew very wide and she paled considerably. "Morgan?" I asked uncertainly, worried for her, "What's wrong? Look, I'm sorry, for what I said." I apologized; holding her arm to steady her.
She shook her head, looking at me with concerned brown eyes, "It's not that" she said, "Katie, I didn't say that, about you being a bad daughter, I thought it"
