Chapter 16 *********

At the park...

Miguel invited Maria and Kay to the park to spend sometime together. They were on a picnic. Maria was playing on the swings and Miguel and Kay were sitting on a blanket talking.

"I just can't get over how much Maria looks like you."

"I know, my friend Lauren always says the same thing."

"What made you come back to Harmony?"

"Well, my father had this guy follow me and find out where I was. I called him and told him I would visit." She looked at Maria. "Maria honey be careful. I always wanted to talk to you about some stuff."

"What stuff?"

"Look, there is stuff you don't know about me. I always tried to break up you and Charity."

"I know, you left your diary behind and Jessica found it. She read it to everyone. That's why Charity and Grace kind of are mad."

"What about you?"

"I have gotten over it. I've seen that you have changed. You have been a good mother to Maria."

"I have tried my best."

"Look, I am sorry for not being there for you four years ago when you were in your first months of pregnancy."

"Its, ok. I used you. Its not your fault."

"Yes, it is. In some ways. No matter how Maria was conceived I should have been there for you. But I was so wrapped up in my romance with Charity, I just wasn't there for you and I should have."

"Its ok Miguel. Anyway, how are you and Charity doing these days?"

"Truthfully, not so good. We were for a while, after you left but then it started to go downhill. All I could think about was you and the baby. Wondering if you guys were all right and if you were being provided for. Charity said I needed to stop worrying and focus on us but I couldn't. But I guess I don't have to worry anymore. I mean you a designer, wow."

"I know I was only a waitress for one day and this lady saw my designs and ask me to work for her. It was one of those things. Fate as your sister calls it."

Miguel and Kay laugh. Kay looks over and sees Maria walking back over.

"Hey sweetie you tired?"

"Yeah." Said Maria rubbing her eyes.

"Well, come and lie down next to me."

Maria curled up next to her mother and fell asleep. Miguel and Kay just talked for a couple of hours about old times. Then Kay said she better get Maria home. Miguel drove Kay and Maria back. When Kay walked in the door of her dad's home she started to think. I can't do this to myself again. I can't be falling for Miguel. I got over him. She took Maria up to bed and she fell asleep herself.

Meanwhile in Miguels car....

Miguel couldn't stop thinking about Kay and how much she had changed. I can't be falling for Kay. I love Charity. But Kay, she has changed and she is the mother of my child.

Next Day....

Kay was sitting at the kitchen table with Maria eating a sandwich. Ivy and Sam were out. Kay was about to clean the dishes when the doorbell rang. She put the dishes down and went to answer it. She opened the door to find Brian.

"Brian, come in."

"What are you up to?"

"I was just about to do some dishes."

Kay walked back into the kitchen and Brian followed. Brian sat down next to Maria and played a little with her. Kay smiled at Brian and how well Maria took to him. She finished the dishes. By the time they were in the living room Ivy was walking through the door.

"Hey Kay, I just wanted to know if I could take Maria with me. Sam is going to be working late and I want to do a little bit for shopping with her and spoil her before you go back to L.A."

"All right. Just bring her back." Kay said with a laugh and Ivy left. Kay went back into the kitchen to clean up. When she was done, she went into the livingroom to see Brian sitting on the couch. She sat next to him and as soon as she did, he pulled her into a kiss. She accepted but then she felt his hands all over her.

"Brian stop."

"Come on Kay." He said as he started to unbuttoned her shirt.

"I said stop. This isn't my house, plus we haven't even known each other that long."

"Kay, I know you want this." He this roughly pushed her to lie down on the couch and started to rip her blouse. Kay kicked him in his...he then groaned and fell on the floor. Kay quickly got up and ran for the phone.

"Bitch!" He recovered quickly and started towards her.

"Get away from me. I will call the police and don't forget that my father is Chief of Police."

"I will let you got for now but you haven't heard the last of me Kay Bennett."

Brian left and Kay sat on the couch and cried. Every guy she likes or even gets a little close to, hurts her in some way or another.
