Chapter 15
The next day was a very wierd day. Tabitha volunteered to watch the teens while Sam and Ivy went out for the night. Nobody was looking forward to spending the night with the 'old lady'. They all decided that they were going to try to make her go nuts as a joke.
Charity ran into the living room where everybody was sitting in Tabitha's house, "Alright..." She said happily, "Who wants to order pizza?"
Everyone agreed.
Charity flipped through the phone book, "What do you guys want on them?"
Laura blurted out, "Whatever is good for Kay!"
Kay just rolled her eyes and huffed, "I'm not hungry, ask Reese, Jessica, and Miguel what they want."
They all agreed on getting two larges and one medium with cheese and half pepperoni since Jessica was a vegetarian.
"Kay, why aren't you hungry? We do this every weekend! You are usually the one who tries to eat a whole pizza." Charity winked at her cousin.
While Charity went to order, Kay hinted to Miguel for him to go talk to her in the corner.
Everyone but Reese just acted like nothing happened.
Kay pulled Miguel closer to the corner, "Miguel, we have to tell Charity tonight. I can't keep this up any longer!"
Miguel just huffed, "Kay, can't we wait another week?"
"Week? Miguel, I don't think I can wait another minute. I gained fifteen pounds, I hope Charity doesn't get suspicious, the only thing that's keeping me in shape is being Fat Laura's personal slave, God I hate her." Kay stamped her foot on the ground... "Look at her, she's just aiting for that pizza to come!" She joked.
Miguel just laughed, "Yeah she is really stuck up. I can't believe she is making you be her personal slave."
Kay looked away from Laura, "Well, believe it! She makes me sick!"
"Clam down Kay, this can't be good for the baby."
"Yeah, you're right, what are we going to say to Charity? We have to tell her tonight, I can't keep this secret any longer."
Miguel ran his fingers through his hair and breathed heavy, "We are just going to have to tell her what happened and hopefully she will understand."
"Hopefully! Miguel, she is never going to want to talk to us again!" Kay snapped.
"I know, but we have to do this tonight."
Kay and Miguel's coversation was broken when Charity walked through the corner, "Pizza should be ready in 10 minutes, Jess do you and Reese want to go get it?"
"Sure." Jessica smiled.
After about 10 minutes of joking, Jessica and Reese decided to leave to go get the pizzas.
As they walked through the park to the Pizza Palace, Jessica pulled Reese aside, "Reese, there is something I need to tell you."
"Sure Jessica, what is it?"
"Alright, I've been keeping this secret, I guess it's better if I just say it... Kay is pregnant!"
Reese just pushed his glasses up, "Kay? When was this?"
"I, I don't know, but she is almost siz months away. And it's Miguel's baby." She sighed.
"Miguel? Miguel loves Charity."
"I know he does. But..." Jessica sighed, "I don't know. What am I going to do, Reese?"
Reese put his arm around her, "It's okay, don't worry about it, I'm here."
Reese bent down and gave Jessica a really quick peck on the lips. It was her first kiss. Her heart beated faster than the speed of light and her smile was brighter than the sun.
Reese was so happy and caught up in the moment, he didn't know what to say, "Um, the... Um, pizza's."
Jessica just nodded her head, "Right, the pizzas."
The two of them ran and cam back to Tabitha's in less than 15 minutes.
Tabitha walked through the door, "Hey dears, that was fast, here are some napkins and plates."
"Thanks Tabitha." Charity smiled, "See you guys this is what I'll always remember, us six, sitting here at Tabithat's, eating a pizza on Saturday night."
Laura just gave Charity the 'okay...' look. "So Charity, did you have one of your crazy visions again?" She said trying to change the 'dumb' subject.
"No Laura, and I'm glad." She smiled trying to be nice.
Laura just sat back in Tabitha's lounge chair, "Ha."
Kay turned around and gave Laura the nastiest look. But instead of fighting back, Laura asked sweetly, "Kay, would you please hand me another piece of pizza and when I'm done, please take my plate in the kitchen."
Kay just glared.
Everyone but Miguel gave her the 'what the heck?' kind of look.
Tabitha suggested that they just relax and watch a movie until Sam and Ivy return.
While Tabitha was doing the dishes and cleaning up, they all spread out blankets and pillows on the floor and watched 'I Still Know What You Did Last Summer.'
Charity and Miguel were cuddling as were Jessica and Reese. Kay just sat there by Laura who kept on laughing during the movie which made everyone mad, but hell, they were used to it.
Charity turned to Miguel, "I'm so glad we are close and have nothing to worry about."
"Shhhhh!" Laura snapped.
Miguel just rolled his eyes at Laura, "Charity, don't worry." He lied through his teeth. This was probably the last time that they would be this close, if not ever. He didn't want to break the news to her, but the longer they waited, the harder it would be on Charity.
After the movie was done, Sam and Ivy rushed in the door, "Sorry we are late, but we had a good time and how often do we go out?" Ivy smiled.
Jessica rose to her feet and hugged her, "It's okay, Mom."
Sam interrupted the whole 'mother-daughter moment', "Me and Ivy have some news, she isn't pregnant, but that doesn't mean we are going to stop trying."
Everyone just smiled except Kay and Laura.
"Oh no, Miguel! Something wrong is going to happen tonight, if what Kay said was true about the premonition at the Book Cafe, about me crying about Ivy not being pregnant then what was Kay actually telling me?"
Charity started to form tears in her eyes and Laura just grinned, "Charity, don't worry, nothing or nobody is lying and nothing is wrong."
Kay and Miguel exchanged looks once again and knew that they were going to tell her once they got home.
