Chapter 9
After picking Charity up, Kay walked through the door and went into the kitchen. A distinct smell caught her attention.
"Ivy what is going on?" She screeched as she saw Ivy running around the kitchen while the turkey she was trying to cook was burnt.
"I tried cooking, Kay" she joked.
Kay stood there for a while, but laughed and smiled, "Here let me help you."
"Thanks honey."
They were cleaning out the oven and everything else in the kitchen. It was a mess.
"Kay, will you pick that up for me?" Ivy asked as she droped the pan while she caught the turkey.
"Sure." Kay reached down and the reached for her stomach and screamed, "Ouch!"
"Is something wrong Kay?" She asked concerned.
Kay lied, "No I'm fine. I probably just pulled a muscle or something."
"Are you sure? Because the Harmony Health Clinic called and asked for you."
The color in Kay's face fluched out, "When was this?"
"Today. Would you mind telling me what is going on?" Ivy asked concerned and worried.
"Nothing." Kay lied a couple of times when Ivy asked her questions.
After about five minutes of talking, Kay broke down in tears.
"What's wrong honey?" Ivy asked stroking her hair and hugging her.
"If I tell you, you can't say anything."
"I won't, I promise." She said looking at her.
"I'm..." Kay was just about to tell her, but Sam and Jessica came running in laughing.
"Nevermind." Kay said looking upset.
"If you want to talk about it, tell me." Ivy smiled.
"Thanks a lot, Ivy."
"What went on here?" Sam joked as he looked around the kitchen. "Let me guess Ivy, you tried to cook."
"Shut up Sam!" She joked back. "Hey Jess, run upstairs and ask Laura and Charity what they want on their pizza, we are ordering in." She smiled.
Jessica ran upstairs leaving Kay, Sam, and Ivy alone.
Sam noticed the tear stains on Kay's cheeks and got concerned, "Kay, were you crying?"
"Yeah, but I'm fine." She smiled looking at Ivy.
Laura came running downstairs, "Any messages for me?" She asked checking the caller ID.
"Harmony Health Clinic?" She looked at Ivy, then at Kay.
"Is someone pregnant or doing drugs here?" She joked.
"No. Laura, please." Ivy looked at her daughter.
Sam and Ivy excused themselves and went to get the pizza.
Laura walked over to the sink and looked out the window, "So either you are on drugs or pregnant."
"What?" Kay snapped, "What the hell are you talking about?" She lied again.
"I mean, Charity, sweet and innocent, Jessica, doesn't even probably know about sex or drugs, but there is you Kay, constantly having these mood swings. So tell me, what's it going to be, Kay, are you on drugs or pregnant?" She looked at her.
"Laura, don't take this the wrong way, but you are a bitch without a life." With that, Kay left the room leaving Laura satisfied. She figured out another piece of the puzzle.
Kay decided she was going to skip having pizza that night. She figured it would make her more fat for when the baby was due. Right now, the most important thing was that she had to take Miguel to her check-up that night. She rang his door bell and the door opened.
"Hello Kay." Pilar greeted.
"Hi Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald." She smiled knowing that this was the grandmother of her child.
"Is Miguel here?"
"Mijo, Miguel, Kay is here!" She hollered up.
Miguel ran down the stairs, but paused when he saw Kay there. Pilar left Kay looked at Miguel and hinted that she would be outside.
One he got out there, he asked, "What do you want? Oh, let me guess you want to come her to tell me that now I can't have visitation rights with my own child."
"Miguel!" Kay sanpped, "Come on, I decided that since we are both equally responsible for this that we should get along, for the child's sake. Please."
Miguel was really upset now for acting like a jerk, "Kay I'm sorry, I should be paying more attention to you and this little thing in your stomach." he said rubbing her stomach and she smiled.
"It's ok. Hey, now the real reason I'm here is that I have an appointment at the Harmony Health Clinic in five minutes, I thought maybe you would want to come, but it's ok if you don't."
"I really want to come." Miguel smiled. "I really do."
"Ok great, let's go."
Miguel ran in and told Pilar that he and Kay had to go to the Book Cafe.
Once they got there, they didn't know what to say to each other. There were a bunch of little babies crying and little toddlers running around. Miguel just looked at Kay and smiled.
"Kay Bennett, the doctor will see you now." The recetionist said.
"Ok, you ready?" She looked at Miguel.
"Yeah." He said looking down.
"Kay, even though you are only two months pregnant, I can tell you two the sex of your baby." Dr. Earl suggested.
Kay looked at Miguel and he nodded yes. "Sure, Dr. tell us."
"You two proud parents are having a..."
