Chapter 8
Sam and Ivy were sitting in the kitchen around noon and talking about having another kid.
"Oh Sam, come on! It will be great, another baby to hold and love." Ivy smiled.
"It would be great, but all of our kids are grown up and so are we!" Sam joked.
"Sam Bennett?" Ivy joked, "Are you implying that I'm old?" she said kissing him lightly on the lips.
"Hey, what are you two doing?" Kay strolled in the kitchen.
"Oh me and your father were just talking about having another baby!"
"You can't!" Kay gasped.
"Why is that?" Sam asked confused looking at Ivy then at Kay.
Kay slowly shut the refridgerator door and just smiled, "You are too old." she cracked a joke and began to giggle.
Jessica walked in, "Yeah anyways, I love being the baby of the family!" she said sitting on Sam's lap.
Kay just looked on and thought to herself, 'Yeah well when this baby arrives, sorry lil sis, you won't be the baby anymore.'
"Yeah, besides, I don't think I could handle having to change all those diapers and waking up in the middle of the night." Ivy joked.
"Ivy, is it really that hard taking care of a baby?" she asked concerned.
"Well, at your age, it would be, well you don't have to worry about that, you aren't pregnant." She joked which caused Kay to go numb. She had to talk to Miguel.
"Oh you know what, I forgot I have to go to MIguel's and pick up Charity." Kay said leaving as fast as she could.
"Dad you promised me that you would take me out to the Book Cafe to get the new addition of Teen!" Jessica smiled sweetly.
"I guess I did." Sam joked, "We'll see you later Ivy."
"Ok, you two have fun, dinner will be done when you get back!" She hollered through the kitchen door
Ivy was dancing around in an apron and her chef's hat singing the lyrics to 'Just The Way You Are'.
"I can't believe I'm actually going to try to cook!" Ivy chuckled to herself.
The phone rang which caused her to jump.
"Whoo, wonder who that can be." She said walking towards the phone.
"Hello... No this isn't Kay... Can I take a message?... Uh huh, Harmony Health Clinic called... Ok, thank you."
Ivy hung up the phone and stood there for a while, "I wonder why they would be calling and asking for Kay."
Just then, she remembered that the Harmony Health Clinic was a place for teens dealing with serious issues such as drug addiction, pregnancies, and rape.
"Kay can't be doing drugs, can she?" Ivy said to herself. "Oh well, I'll have to talk to her tonight.
Kay walked into the Lopez-Fitzgerald house. Nobody was home, but she heard voices upstairs in Miguel's room. She walked in and saw Miguel and Charity kissing and flirting on his bed.
Peeking her head through the door she said, "Charity, it's time to go."
"Oh yeah, be there in a minute, I forgot something dowstairs, I'll be back in a while." she said leaving.
As soon as she left, Kay slammed the door, "So Miguel, you have a child on the way and you are flirting with Charity? Hmm... something doesn't clique her, aren't you concerned about your child?" she whispered mad.
"Concerned? Of course, but how can I be when you keep on pushing me away?" he shot back.
"I am not pushing you away! All you want to do is tell Charity so you can move on and make more kissy faces with her! You know what? If you care, I had a check-up today and our child is doing fine!" She shot back.
"That's good." Miguel said relieved.
"Ok, now you can go back to making kissy faces with her!"
Just then, Charity entered, "Is something wrong you guys? Are you two hiding something from me?" she asked concerned looking at them.
"No." They both quickly said in unison.
