Still not mine...
Chapter 11: Confrontation
"I want to put him in jail." she said sternly, as three familiar people walked into the room.
"Mom! Dad! Pim! What are you doing here?" he asked, now rather concerned that they'd drag him back to 2122.
"What are WE doing here? What are YOU doing here?" his father boomed.
"Keely was in trouble. I wasn't just going to let her die." he said, making a note of the fact that they still hadn't realized that he was in the hospital with her for a reason. "I'm not going back with you. I belong here. Not in 2122. My family is here." he said, holding keely close.
"Phil, what are you talking about? And why is Keely in the hospital?' " Pim asked finally realizing that Keely was there.
"If you guys really loved me you wouldn't make me choose between you and Keely. But, if you insist, I pick Keely. And Keely is here because Tanner attacked her and then beat her because he realized that she was pregnant." Phil explained, leaving out the gruesome details.
"Pregnant?" Lloyd growled, furious at his son's irresponsibility.
"Yeah, dad. As in 'carrying my child' pregnant," Phil repeated, ignoring the shocked looked on all three of his family members faces. "I'm not going back! I'm staying here with Keely and our baby. This last month has been hell for me. I was completely miserable. And neither of you seemed to care. This is my home, this is where I belong." he tried to make them understand.
"Yeah, dad. I wanna stay here, too." Pim agreed, sitting on the edge of Keely's rather crowded bed.
"Fine, I give up. You three stay here.I'll head back to get some stuff. I'll be back in a few days." Lloyd accepted the situation, realiziing if he didn't he'd lose his son. he turned to leave and left Keely, Phil, Pim and Barbara alone.
"Hey, Phil, can I talk to you a minute out in the hall?" his mother asked him. He nodded, and reluctantly left Keely alone in the room, talking with Pim. "What really happened to Keely?" she asked once in the hallway.
"Tanner, that guy she dated, abdcted her, took her back t his house, and raped her. I found her in a heap on his bedroom floor. She has a broken wrist, some fractured ribs, and has tons of bruises and three big gashes on her back. And we don't even know if the baby is okay yet." he explained, and finally released his own tears. leaning on his mother's shoulder and crying. After a moment he calmed down and headed back in to stay with Keely.
Not long after that did Dr.Thompson arrive. "Ah, you're awake. The police will be by tomorrow to ask you some questions. Has your stomach been hurting you since you woke up?" the doctor questioned, Keely shook her head 'no'. "That's good, it means your baby is probably okay, but I'll need to do an ultrasound to make sure, okay?" Phil and Keely both nodded.
Once the equipment was set up, Dr. Thompson started the exam and pointed out different parts of their barely developed child. "Good news, your baby checks out completely fine, which is rather surprising die to the amout of trauma you sustained within the last two months. Try not to end up here agin or it might not get so lucky." the doctor explained giving the child a clean bill of health.
