Chapter 11

Kay woke up that morning to find that the family was going to the local amusement park. It was a carnival, but it had big rides and that meant she couldn't ride them. She was scared.

"As soon as I get there, I want to ride that Python!" Jessica smiled at everyone in the car. "Kay you know how we love that ride how it goes upside down and all around!"

Kay just smiled. She was again sitting beside Miguel who was sitting next to Charity and on her left was Laura. Reese was sitting up at the front with Jessica, Ivy, and Sam. It was very crowded and Kay was claustraphobic. 'Why was she stuck in between them? Oh this was going to be a good quality family trip' She thought.

As soon as they got there, Sam handed out money to the teens while he and Ivy walked around enjoying each other's presence.

When Reese, Jessica, Laura, Miguel, and Charity ran in line for the Python, Kay noticed a big sign that read:

Persons with heart problems and expecting mothers should not ride this ride

She was doomed now. What was she gonna say. The Python was her and Jessica's favorite ride.

"Come on Kay!" She said grabbing her sister's hand and pulling her in line.

She immediatley jerked back, "No Jess!" She yelled

Everyone just stared. Miguel just put his head down. He saw the sign.

"Look, ha, you guys just go and have a good time." She nodded uncertain.

Laura looked up at the sign and then at Kay, "Well, who am I going to ride with?"

"What? It doesn't say you have to have two people in a seat!" Kay snapped. "Look just go. I'll wait for you guys out here."

"Alright." Everyone said.

Laura watched Kay walk outside and sit on a bench. She just rolled her eyes and mumbled, 'whatever' and got on the ride. Something was up and again Kay was acting strange. Laura was really determined to find out her secret.

After about two hours of walking around the amusement park, Kay didn't ride anything, the teens decided that if she got something to eat she would feel better. When they got to the stand that sold all the fries and goodies, Jessica got cotton candy for everyone.

Kay just smiled, "No thanks Jess. I'm fine"

Jessica was really suspicious now, "Kay cotton candy is your favorite, what's up? You won't even ride the Python."

She pulled Kay aside while everyone was talking to eachother.

"Kay what's wrong?" Jessica asked. Laura just looked on and glared.

"Nothing, Jessica. Honestly."

Jessica knew when Kay was lying. She couldn't even look at her. That was Kay's give away. Kay knew Jessica suspected something and she knew how her little sister was. She didn't give up until she knew everything.

"Kay, come on, I'm your sister, unlike Laura." She slightly joked. "Wait a minute, Kay Bennett, you didn't have a heart attack?" She joked again remembering the sign.

She knew Jessica was catching on and just laughed, "No Jessica, I din't have a heart attack."

"Then...Oh my God." She spitted out in shock, "Kay are you pregnant?"

"Shh!" Kay hissed putting her finger to her mouth and looked around to see if anyone has heard that.

Jessica just covered her mouth, "I know that you and Reese never liked eachother, but you could have at least told me that you two were having sex..."

"No Jess!" she hollered above a whisper. "It's not Reese."

"Then who is it? Oh my God..." She repeated over and over again, "Miguel? What about Charity!" She started to cry a little. "Kay how could you? I know you wanted Miguel, but you didn't have to do that..."

"No it wasn't like that, he agreed to it too! We don't even know how it happened." Kay defended herself.

"Look, alright, does anyone else know?"

"Just Miguel, me, and now you."

"Well, how far along are you?"

Kay looked down at the ground, "Three and a half months."

"Kay you have to tell someone, I mean, when are you guys planning on telling Charity?"

"I don't know. It's a girl though. You are going to have a niece." Kay smiled trying to change the subject.

"Awww...I'm so happy. But I just wish it wasn't like this you know?" She frowned.

"Ya me too."

After about ten more minutes of talking, they returned to the crowd. They found Sam and Ivy and left.

Late that night, Jessica and Charity were chasing each other around the house in their pajamas with silly string in a can. Kay just sat around and watched. Someone else knew her secret. Not just anyone, he little sister who was very close to Charity. Why did Kay tell the truth?

Laura walked into the living room and sat next to Kay on the couch who was watching Charity and Jessica run around in their pajamas chasing eachother from the living room back to the kitchen laughing.

Laura stuck her nose up in the air, "Well, it's a shame that you don't have fun."

"Shut up and leave me alone." Kay snapped moving to the chair.

Laura just moved over to the couch so she was closer to Kay just to make her mad, "Why didn't you ride anything or eat anything at the park today, Kay?"

Before Kay could answer, Jessica and Charity ran in the living room spraying Kay with silly string.

Kay sat up and laughed, "Oh that's it!" She grabbed Charity's can and ran after Jessica spraying her and laughing.

Charity sat on the couch next to Laura picking off the string laughing, "Oh boy. So how are you Laura? You haven't said anything since we got home."

Laura just stared at her, "Charity, did you ever think about Kay and Miguel?"

"Yeah, they're my close friends and Miguel is my boyfriend. Of course I think of them." She laughed a little.

"No, I mean, couple wise?" She raised an eyebrow.

"No of course not, Miguel loves me."

Laura got up and grinned, "Well, I'll let you ponder on that thought, meanwhile I'm going to bed if two brats don't keep me up."

Charity just stared at the floor. She never thought of Kay and Miguel together. No, he wouldn't love Kay, he loved her. Who was Charity trying to convince, Laura or herself? She was definatley right.

"Good night." Laura said sarcastically and left.
