"What is it Jesse? What has happened to Will?" asked Irene in a panic.
"There's been a car accident. Will was in the car with Gypsy and Lily when it crashed. The hospital tried to catch you at the school but you'd already left so they phoned me," replied Jesse.
"I've got to get to the hospital now. Jesse can you take me, my car is in the shop. Sorry Kit we'll talk later. What hospital is he in?" Irene asked.
"Yabbie Creek. If we leave now we can get there in about 30 minutes," replied Jesse.
As Irene left the house Kit got up and left by the other door. She had a phone call to make and she couldn't do that with Tasha around.
Kit walked along the beach on the way to the phone outside the Surf Club thinking to herself.
I have to tell him. It's the right thing to do. Then maybe this will ruin his life. He's just starting in his new life. He's moved away and got his feet on the ground. He's making plenty of money now, he doesn't need this now. But Irene is right. He has to know. That's it Kit. No more thinking about it. Just phone and tell him. What about the fact that you lied to Irene and told her that you couldn't contact him. I'll think about that later. I can't deal with everything at the moment. I don't think Irene will mind. She has other things to worry about. I think that she'll be more concerned with who he his. It will be a shock for everyone not just Irene. I think Tash will be happy about it. She loves children. She'll be great if I ever need a babysitter. I've seen the way she is with V.J.
Kit arrived at the phone. She stepped into the booth and started to dial. The phone rang about 4 times and Kit was beginning to wonder if anyone was home when she heard his voice.
"Hi. It's Kit. I just phone to see how you were. I have something to tell you. Well two things actually and neither of them are good news.
"I'm fine Kit. What is it that you want to tell me?" asked the voice on the other end of the phone line.
"Well the first is that I thought that you should know that Will was in a car accident today. Gypsy and Lily were in the car as well. I'm now sure how they are. Irene has just gone to see them."
"I hope they are OK. I hope Irene is all right. What hospital are they in?"
"Yabbie Creek. The other thing is that, I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm pregnant. You're the father. It happened just before you left. Remember that night."
"Yeah. I remember Kit how could I forget. It was the best night of my life. I'm coming home. I'll be there as soon as I can. Don't tell anyone though."
"How can I. How will I explain it. I have only told Irene and Tash about the pregnancy. I haven't even told my Mum or Scott. I think that Scott would probably kill me if he found out."
"Well if you wait until I get there we can tell them together. It might not be as bad then."
"Are you saying that you want this baby?"
"Of course I want this baby, Kit. What did you think that I was going to do? Tell you to get rid of it?"
"Well I thought, what with your new life and all, you wouldn't want me and a baby dragging you down."
"You could always come and live here after the baby is born. We wouldn't have to change much about our lives. Look Kit, I've got to go and make arrangements. I'll see you when I get there."
"I'll be at the hospital with Irene. See you soon. Bye," replied Kit.
"Bye."
They both ended the call at the same time. Kit left the phone booth and went to get the bus to take her to the hospital.
AT THE HOSPITAL
A FEW HOURS LATER
Irene was sitting in the waiting room with Gypsy, Lily and Kit. When Kit arrived Will was just coming round. He was hurt but it was nothing that wouldn't heel in a few months.
Irene had discovered that the young family were on their way to Summer Bay to visit her now that Nick had left. Irene was glad that Will and Gypsy got all their problems sorted out.
When Kit spoke to Irene she told her that she had told the father about the baby and that he was coming to the hospital to see her but that she didn't want to say who it was. Irene was glad that Kit had got the courage to tell him. She was just thinking about who the father could be when she heard the waiting room doors open. Irene turned to see who was entering.
"What are you doing here?" Irene asked almost shouting at this surprise visitor.
"I had to come Irene. Kit phoned and told me," replied the visitor.
"But....but that means that.....,"
"Yes Irene. You're going to be a grandmother," replied Nick.
I hope that this satisfies your curiosity QueenVix. There will be more. I hope. Maybe a few weeks as I am starting college next week. Thanks for your reviews.
Any other readers please let me know what you think. Sorry if Kit's thoughts seem to be babbling but I just wanted to protray how confused she was feeling about all this.
