Chapter 14: Surprises (Part 1)

Two months had passed since Keely's release from the hospital. In that time her nightmares subsided, and she could sleep peacefully through the night as long as she was in Phil's arms. Their sophomore year was over and summer had just begun. No one had seemed to notice Keely's change in wardrobe or attitude...sometimes.

But, today, none of that mattered. Today was Keely's sixteenth birthday, the day of Mandy Teslow's return, and the day that they could find out the sex of their baby. Pim, Barbara, Lloyd and Keely's mother were helping Phil with a surprise party. He would go with her to the doctor's and upon their return, everyone would jump out and yell 'Surprise!'

"I can't wait until we find out, then we can paint... not that it will take much effort with your handy gadgets. And we can start picking out names and clothes and things like that!" she beamed, happily from the passenger seat of Phil's new car. This was one of Keely's good days, for the last few weeks they would get into the occasional arguement, but half-way through the fight one of them realized how incredibly stupid whatever it was they were disagreeing about was, and that it was simply a result of Keely's raging hormones, leading to a peaceful apology.

For the rest of their drive to the local hospital, they talked about how different their lives would be and about the things the needed to do before their child's birth. Once they arrived at the hospital they signed in and took a seat in the waiting room. "So, Keel, what do you want for your birthday?" Phil asked, holding her hand in his.

"I don't know. I feel like I already have the best presents in the world," she said, leaning her head against his shoulder.

"And what might that be?" he asked.

"You and this baby. When I found out, I thought I would be scared, because I was alone. But, once you were back in my life, it all feels so right," Keely explained as the doctor called them back.

Several minutes later, many people in the waiting room were jolted back to earth when a loud, girlish svream sounded from down the hall. "YES! IT"S A GIRL!" Keely screamed, causing Phil to cover his ears and attempt to calm Keely down at the same time. A smile spread across his face as he watched the screen from the ultrasound, showing his growing child's heartbeat and ever-active movements.
