Chapter 10
"A girl!" Dr. Earl smiled. "You two are proud parents of a baby girl! Now remember Kay, you have an appoingtment next week." She just nodded and Dr. Earl turned and left them alone.
Kay was in shock and tears slowly escaped her proud eyes, "Miguel..." She said wiping tears away from his eyes too, "We are going to have a girl!"
Miguel immediatley hugged Kay. All his thoughts about Charity vanished. He was so caught up in the moment that he kissed Kay. Niether of them knew that they were kissing until she broke away.
"That's another strike against your relationship with Charity." She said just looking at him. Miguel just stood there looking at the ground.
"I know." He tried changing the subject, "Did you pick any names?"
"Actually, not at the moment, but if you want to next time we can. It's gettign late and I should go home. Thank god it's summer and we don't have school." She joked. "Come on, let me give you a ride home."
"No. I'll walk."
"Miguel?" Kay let out a small laugh. "Are you crazy? It's dark out.
"Really Kay. I insist. i'll see you tomorrow when I come over to see Charity."
"Right. See ya. I still can't believe it, a baby girl!" She smiled again before leaving.
Miguel just smiled. After Kay left, he was unsure of what to do. He loved Charity, there was no questioning that. But somehow, he felt connected to Kay. They shared a bond, their unborn daughter. Even if there wasn't a child on the way, he would still feel this way.
As Miguel walked through the park that night a sound played from someone's house on the radio that made him think:
You're cynical and beautiful
You always make a scene
You're monochrome and delirious
You're nothing that you seem
I'm drowning in your vanity
You're dirty and you're sweet
You know you're everything to me.
Oh, everything you are
Falls from the sky like a star
Everything you are
Whatever you are
Miguel just looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star. He made a wish that everything would be ok. He also thought about how he and Kay sat here when they were little at night and played under the moonlight. That song reminded him of her. Miguel came to the conclusion, he was in love with Kay.
Kay walked through the Bennett house that night and she was once in her life happy. She wasn't going to let anyone, including Laura ruin her mood. She walked in really fast, but stopped when she saw Reese and Jessica on the couch eating ice cream and smiling at each other and laughing at the movie that they were watching. 'How cute they look' She thought.
Reese immediatley broke away from Jessica when he saw Kay.
"Reese, can I talk to you alone in the kitchen?" She asked
Reese was a nervous wreck and she could tell, but she was going to be nice and break it to him that their relationship was off.
Pulling up his glasses, he nervously spttied out, "Kay, it's not what you think. I mean Jess and me were just watching a movie and then I offered to get some ice cream out of the fridge..."
Kay interrupted laughing, "Reese." She said putting her arms on his shoulders, "It's ok. Actually, I wanted to maybe see if we could start seeing other people, but still be friends... is that ok with you?"
Reese smiled, "Sure it is. Just so we can be friends? Deal?"
"Deal. Maybe the girl of your dreams is right in the next room." She smiled imlying that it was Jessica.
"Maybe. I better get back to her, the girl of my dreams."
Reese started to run in the living room and fell because he was so excited. Kay just rolled her eyes and laughed. Things were getting better...
