Miguel slammed the door shut as he walked through his mama's home. He felt the rage boil through his blood. Everything that was his had just been taken away, his daughter, and even Kay. He didn't know why it really matter that Kay was taken. He had come to Harmony still wanting to be with Charity, but the moment that he saw Kay with Fox, it made his blood boil. She had always been his Kay, his best friend.
When she was chasing after him, he thought he wanted Charity, and hoped that she would find someone like he had. Now that she had it, he wished that she hadn't moved on. He couldn't believe he had realized it once it was too late.
When he came into the kitchen, he saw Theresa in there. He wanted to know why, why had they all lied to him. He deserved the truth; he deserved to know why everyone had kept it from him.
Miguel glanced at the kitchen door that began to ajar. She couldn't believe her eyes, was she dreaming? "Miguel."
He didn't seem as happy to see her; he didn't share the same joy anymore as he had when he first arrived. "Don't Miguel me. Why did you guys do it?" he spurted out.
She starred back at him, not understanding what he was talking about. Why was he so angry with her? This was the first time they had seen each other in years. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on Theresa, don't play dumb with me. Did you all think that I would eventually find out?" you could hear the hurt in the back of his throat.
"Again, what are you talking about?" Then it hit her, he had been to Kay's place, well her and Fox's now. She hoped that he hadn't seen his daughter yet, because that bombshell would hurt his dearly. "Okay I finally get where you're going, and I'm sorry. At the time we thought that it was for the best."
"Your sorry…sorry doesn't cut it. You know I show up at Kay's new place unaware of anything. To find Fox answer the doors, but to make matters worse watch my flesh and blood call him daddy, when that's my role. I'm her father, not him!"
"You may be that, but you haven't been around in years Miguel. A little girl doesn't understand that you're really gone, because she was too young at the time."
"Well you and the family could have told her about me. She should have known. So how long has he been in the picture, to make her think that he's her father?"
"Since the tsunami, that's when they became friends, turning into something more. He was always around her; he grew to lover her. Out of nowhere one day, she said it. At the time she was too young to understand, how could we really tell her."
"Why doesn't someone tell her now, she's 5yrs old now."
"Kay doesn't know how to do it, I mean he's been apart of her life for almost 4yrs now. Tell me," she said as anger grew in her voice, "how do you tell a little girl that the one that has been by her side for so long, and taken care of her isn't her father? Cause please I like to know." Yeah he was her brother, but he really hated the thought that he had abandoned his daughter. She could never do that to her children, even when people told her to.
"I don't know, but it's not fair, she's my daughter. I should be the one she calls dad, the one that she looks up to."
She knew she promised her mother to keep her mouth shut but she couldn't any longer. He had it coming to him for the last 4yrs. "Fair, what do you know about that word. I mean do you think it was fair to take off on your daughter when she needed you, just to go after a love. Do you not think family is more important? You missed all her firsts, her first word, her first step. And do you not think that Kay may have needed some support here. Like when Maria went back into the hospital with pneumonia, your little girl almost died. But of course no one could contact you because you were always heading off somewhere with some new lead to where Charity was."
Miguel stood there, astonished by what his sister was saying to him. "What right do you have to judge me, you never seem to listen when it came to Ethan. If I recall you got pregnant with his child when he was with Gwen. So I can say your actions aren't always the best ones, I mean you couldn't have really thought what all this might do to your son."
"Excuse me, if you don't remember Ethan and Gwen had my child at the time. I was only trying to get him back by giving them a child. I thought it would actually be her child."
"Whatever you want to call it, I will not hear you bash me about my parenting skills. I realize now that I don't love Charity, that Kay's the one that I love. And I'm going to make sure that our child has the family she deserves, with both of her parents."
"So you're going to ruin Kay's happiness for you own."
"She still loves me, I know it."
"Why can't you just let her be happy? Fox loves her with all he has, and she feels the same, so just let them be happy."
"Not when I love her, and don't even think about stopping me because you did the same thing for love."
"And after all things I pulled to break them apart I still lost Ethan, and almost my daughter. If it hadn't been for her getting sick before they left, we would have never found out that she was Fox's child. Don't have this happen to you either, just leave things alone."
Miguel just stormed out of the house; he wasn't going to listen to Theresa. Kay should have been his in the first place. If Charity hadn't arrived in Harmony then they would have been together already. However, she did, and clouded his head from what he really wanted. Kay and he were made for each other; they knew just about everything that there was to know about her. As kids, they had been inseparable, doing everything together. There was no reason that they couldn't have that again. He just needed to make her realize what she loved about him.
