Chapter 11 *********

At Kay's Dad's house

Kay was asleep but was woken up by a restless little girl next to her. Kay opened her eyes and leaned on her elbow to look at a smiling Maria.

"You woke me up."

"I sorry."

"Thats ok. I need to get up today anyway. Guess what?"

"What?"

"You and I are going to go skating today with a friend of mommy's!" Maria smile turned into a wide grin. "So, lets go downstairs, momma will make us some breakfast and then we will go get ready."

"Let go!" Maria got jumped off the bed and tried to run as fast as her little legs would carry her but Kay catched up with her.

"Hold on there. Don't run so fast."

Kay carried Maria downstairs and saw that her Dad was in the kitchen making some breakfast.

"Hey sweetie. I figured you would be hungry so I made some waffles, bacon, eggs, cinnamon rolls, and toast. There is orange juice, milk, or coffee to drink."

"Wow, Dad. You didn't have to make that much."

"Well, I missed making you breakfast."

"Well, thanks. I know Maria has a big appetite. When she was a baby. Gosh. She ate anything." said Kay laughing

"Well, sit down and eat."

"Oh by the way, Brian invited Maria and I to go skating today. He will be here at eleven. We have to get ready right after breakfast."

"You two are getting quit close. I mean you just met the man."

"I know but he different then any other guys I have dated."

"Whatever you say. I am your father I am surposed to worry about you."

"Yeah, Yeah. Where is Ivy anyway?"

"Ivy likes to get up no earlier then ten thirty. Other wise she will be cranky."

"Oh. Well, Maria we need to eat. Brian is going to be here in an hour."

Kay ate as much as she could which really wasn't much because she was trying to get Maria to eat and not play with her food. Then it was time to get ready. Kay gave Maria a bath and dressed her. Sam watched Maria while Kay got ready. Kay took a shower and got dressed in jeans, a tight thick stripped sweater and topped the outfit off with a matching hat and scarf. She went downstairs and it was about five to eleven. She saw Maria on the floor looking for her grandfather who was behind the chair. Kay couldn't help but laugh. Sam sat up when he heard Kay.

"I foun you!" said Maria giggling and pointing.

"Well, Maria, Brian is going to be here any minute. Your not going to turn shy now are you?"

"No, I be good."

"Well, good."

Soon there as a knock at the door and Kay answered it to Brian standing there.

"Come in."

"I have to get Maria and I's coat."

Brian stepped it. Kay got their coats and they left. Kay was about to step off the porch when she remembered something.

"I don't have a car seat for her."

"Oh, well, I figured that since you came here on a plane. So, I borrowed one from my sister. She has a three year old also and she just bought a new one."

"Well, you just thought of everything." Kay smiled and put Maria in the car seat in the back. They drove to their destination in mostly silence. When they got there, Brian let them off near the entrance area and went to park the car. Kay and Maria went to the skating rental area. Brian catched up with them and they were putting on their skates.

"Well, you think you remember how to skate?"

"Well, you could maybe help me along a little bit." Kay looked over at Brian and smiled.

After they put on their skates, they helped Maria put on her skates. Then they were all ready to go out on the ice. Maira was between Brian and Kay holding each hand. They were skating for awhile when Kay saw Reese and Jessica. She was not so nervous about seeing them because well she didn't get along with them anyway. But then she saw David, Grace, John, Charity, Simone, and Miguel. They didn't see her because their backs were to them. Kay was kind of distracted because the next thing she knew Maria, Her, and Brian fell on the ice. Maria just fell on her butt but Brian fell right on top of Kay and they both started laughing really not even realizing it. Kay then looked up and Brian just kissed her. They were kissing for awhile till they realized that Maria was there. They both looked up and saw Maria just sitting there with a big smile on her face. They both just jumped up and dusted themselves off.

"I'm sorry about that. I mean..." said Brian

"Don't be sorry." Kay smiled at Brian.

They were skating for a little while longer when Maria started to complain she was cold. They went to return their skates. Kay looked around but didn't see the group anymore.

"So, Kay. Can I take you out for some coffee and hot chocolate for Maria?"

"Sure, lets go."

Kay, Maria, and Brian decided to go to the Coffee House. (I am not sure if that is the name of the coffee place.) They drove to the Coffee house in complete silence. Kay wanted to talk about the kiss but she couldn't do it with Maria there. That girl picks up everything I say. They got to the coffee house and rushed inside from the cold. When she got in there carrying Maria she saw the group sitting at the table near the door and they saw her too. All of their mouths dropped. Kay just stood there until Brian broke her trance.

"Kay, are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Lets go order."

"Ok."

They walked over to the counter and gave their orders.

"I'll have a capachino and blue berry muffin." said Brian

"I'll just have a capachino and for this little one hot chocolate with wip cream and chocolate sprinkles."

They got their coffee and other stuff and took the only seats that were left. Right behind the group. Kay was kind of nervous. Afraid that anyone of them would make a scene about her being back in town. Brian and Kay talked about silly things and started laughing when they saw wip cream all over Maria's face. She started giggling too. Kay wipped of the wip cream. Then walked in Ivy and Sam. They walked over to their table.

"Hello, Kay. Brian nice to see you again."

"Nice to see you to Mr. Bennett."

"Kay I was thinking of taking Maria shopping with me when Sam gets dropped off at the station. Could I?"

"Sure Ivy."

"Maria you wanna go shopping with your grandma?" Grace heard this from the table and got tears in her eyes.

"Grandma!" Maria reached up to Ivy arms and Ivy took Maria.

"How did you guys know we would be here?"

"Well, we went to see if you were still skating but we didn't see you so we assumed that you came here."

"Oh."

"Well, I am going to drop off Sam and take her shopping. You have the key your Dad gave you?" Kay nodded. "Ok, well, I don't know when I will be back so or you so. I will see you later. Say bye to mommy." Kay kissed Maria goodbye and Sam, Ivy and Maria left. Brian and Kay were left alone. Now, is the time to talk about the kiss.

"Brian about the kiss..."

"Look, I'm sorry about..."

"No, I liked it."

"So, did I."

"Whats that all about being sorry?"

"I thought you didn't want the kiss to ever happen."

"Well, I did."

Kay and Brian talked for a little while. Then Brian beeper went off. He checked it and said he had to leave. He would be happy to drive Kay home but she wanted to stay and walk around. Kind of like remembering your child hood thing. After much arguing on that she should stay out of the cold, Brian realized he already lost. He kissed her on the cheek and told her not to stay out in the cold to long but she said she was a big girl and not to worry. Kay was left alone. She realized the whole group was still behind her. She was about to leave when they all walked up and sworned around her.

Next chapter***************In the next chapter Kay argues with Charity and her mother mostly. Miguel wants to see Maria but Kay doesn't want him to because she doesn't know him that well. Miguel says something that upsets Kay and she slaps him. Miguel says he is sueing for custody.
