Chapter 16: An Unexplected Arrival
Keely was now in her seventh month of pregnancy. She and Phil were at the mall looking for last minute things they had forgotten about, as well as buying Keely some more maternity clothes. They had been shopping for a while when they decided to stop and get lunch. Olive Garden was the closet, most uncrowded place, and the smells coming from the resturaunt were drawing Keely's attention, so they chose to eat there.
Aftre being seated and ordering their food they proceeded to do one of the things they had been doing a lot recently. Trying to pick a name. "How about Robin? Jamie? Leigh?" Phil listed, as their drinks arrived.
"I kind of like Leigh. How about Raileigh. My fathers name was Riley, and Raileigh would be like the female version of it. What do you think?" Keely suggested.
He smiled at her. "Okay, Raileigh it is. Now, on to middle names..." he agreed. "How about Alexandria, for the middle name?"
"Ugh...no. Her initials would be R-A-T. Keep thinking there," she teased.
"Alright, How about Morgan?" Phil suggested, as the food they ordered arrived.
"Yeah, I like that. Raileigh Morgan Diffy. At least we can cross one thing off of our list of things-to-do, she grinned as they ate their meal.
It was then that Phil noticed a man sitting three tables away from them. He was staring right at Keely. And, after several minutes of this, Phil started to get suspicious. Luckily, by now they were done eating and ready to leave. Phil left the money on the table for their server and quickly left with Keely in tow.
"What's the hurry, Phil?" she asked, wondering why they had to leave when they had planned to be there for at least another hour.
"That guy was staring at you the entire time we were eating," he explained, gesturing to the man, who had apparently followed them out of the resturaunt.
"Phil. We are in a mall, at least a hundred people are around us at any one time. No idiot would be stupid enough to approach..." she was proven quite wrong when the man did indeed approach them.
"Can we help you?" Phil asked attempting to be polite.
"Are you Keely Teslow?" the man asked, ignoring Phil.
Keely nodded, "How do you know my name? What do you want?" she asked, moving behind Phil.
Phil wrapped his arm around Keely's shoulder, giving her some comfort in this situation. "Get your hands off my daughter!" the man yelled, and pushed Phil out of the way. This action also aused Keely to fall, but Phil regained his balance in time to catch her, before she hit the ground.
"What are you doing! You idiot! If you haven't noticed that she's pregnant yet, you are completely blind!" Phil yelled, wrapping his arms around Keely once again, this time concerned for her and the baby's safety.
"Are you really my father?" Keely asked.
"Yes. Yes, Keely I am, and I missed you and your mom so much," he said.
"Prove it," Phil said, still unsure of the man. "If you are really her father why didn't you just ask us, rather than stalk us?"
"Who the hell are you? And, I'll humor you, I wasn't sure if it was my Keely. I would have looked kind of stupid if I had walked up to you and you hadn't been Keely wouldn't I?" he explained.
"Okay, one question, that only three people could possibly know the answer to. How did you get me to sleep when I was little?" Keely asked. SHe, Phil, and her father were the only ones who knew that. Not even he own mother knew.
"Lullaby, Lullaby Baby-o. And, I'll ask again, Who are you?" he answered and then gestured to Phil.
"Dad, this is Phil Diffy, he's my fiance, and the father of your grandaughter," Keely introduced them, placing her hands on her large stomach. "Phil, this is Riley, my father."
"Nice to meet you, sir," Phil said, and held out his hand, reluctantly, the man shook it back. "Ugh, Keel, we can go back home and you two can talk in private," he suggested, shifting the three bags he was carrying.
"Great idea Phil! Let's go!" Keely said as they went outside.
So, what did you think...review please, I'll hopefully pst more tomorrow.
