Chapter 16

When everyone got into the house that night, Miguel spoke up, "Do you think that me and Kay could talk to you guys in like, say, 10 minutes?"

Everyone nodded and decided that it was probably a surprise for Charity since it was her birthday next week.

Charity walked over and hugged Miguel, "You guys don't have to play dumb with me, I know you are planning a surprise for my birthday, but I'll act surprised." She winked, leaving.

Kay clunched her fist and closed her eyes, "She thinks we are doing something for her for her birthday, this is going to be harder than I thought..."

"I forgot her birthday!" Miguel interrupted.

"Miguel? You forgot about her birthday!"

He just sighed, "I've been too caught up in this whole situation."

Kay was mad and nervous, he emotions took over her, "Yeah, well, what are we going to say? 'Oh, Happy Birthday! Charity, we had sex and now I'm pregnant'? And you know, Miguel, we could just say 'Happy Birthday' at the end to add the finishing touches!"

Miguel and Kay were confused. This was the hardest thing that they were going to have to do.

Kay just stared out, "Why did this have to happen to me?"

"We both did it Kay, not just you. Come on, I don't want Charity to be mad at me. So, the sooner we tell her, the better."

Kay turned around to face him, "Is all you're thinking about is getting Charity back? What about your daughter?"

Miguel just ran his hands through his hair like he always did when the situation was bad, "Of course not, but I just don't want to hurt Charity."

"Of course, me either."

"Should we tell them all to come in?"

Kay grabbed Miguel's arm, "This is the right thing to do."

He hugged her, "I know, but do you think it would be better if we just told everyone and then told Charity after?"

"Yeah." She sighed, "She is going to take it hard."

"I know. I'm going to get everyone but Charity." He said leaving.

Kay just stood there. Her worst nightmare was coming true.

Was her family going to abandon her or were they going to stick by her?

She turned around to see them all coming in.

Immediately, she put on her 'happy face', "Hey guys, just have a seat on the couch."

Miguel came into the kitchen, "Charity, we'll talk to you next."

She just smiled bright and teased, "Miguel, you don't have to play dumb with me. I know that you are asking everyone what they would think of the surprise you and Kay planned for my party."

Miguel just leaned in and kissed her. It was probably if not their last kiss ever. "I just want you to remember that no matter what happens, I love you."

Charity just stared at him confused, "I love you, too." She laughed and he left.

In the living room, Sam and Ivy sat on the couch and Jessica sat on Sam's lap while Laura sat on the love seat by herself.

Miguel and Kay just stood in front of everyone. They all looked at them.

It clicked to Laura that they were going to tell the truth now, "So what is it Kay?" She snapped.

Kay just glanced at her and turned her head, "Me and Miguel have something very important to tell you guys."

Ivy just smiled, "What is it?"

Kay and Miguel exchanged looks and he spoke up, "Kay and me... We..."

"Just say it Miguel, we made love and now I'm pregnant." She blurted out figuring that it was the best way to say it.

Sam and Ivy's mouths just fell open and they looked at the ground.

Finally, after about a minute of silence, Sam spoke up, "How long has this been going on for?"

"Six months." Kay sighed.

Sam looked at Kay, "Six months."

"I'm sorry daddy!" She started to cry. "Jessica and Laura knew. I had to tell Jess and Laura overheard."

Ivy looked at them, "Can you two go upstairs and get ready for bed, you can come back down later."

They agreed, but when Laura walked behind Jessica, she looked at Kay and pointed and laughed, but nobody saw it.

Ivy spoke up, "Are you okay? Is everything okay with your baby?"

"Yeah, it's a girl." She said hopefully trying to cheer them up.

Sam just smiled, "Well, we are going to be here if you guys need anything. We are happy, but we didn't expect this especially since you are with Charity." Hinting towards Miguel. "Me and Ivy are going to go talk about this in private and as for you two I think you should tell Charity as soon as possible."

"We are." Kay started to cry and Sam got up and gave her a hug and whispered, "I love you."

Miguel turned to her, "Well, two done, one more to go and then it's my family."

"Your family. This is going to be hard Miguel. You have to promise me that you aren't going to leave me in this mess by myself."

"I promise." He smiled. "I'm going to go get Charity."

Charity and Miguel walked through the doors hand in hand and he motioned for her to sit on the chair while he and Kay sat on the couch.

"So what did you guys plan for my 'surprise party'?" She smiled.

Miguel just interrupted before they could lead her on again, "Charity we didn't plan you a surprise party, but there is something we have to tell you."

"Okay." She said confused, "What is it guys? You know you can tell me anything."

Kay spoke up, "Charity, me and Miguel, six months ago... Made love and now I'm pregnant." Miguel just nodded so she would know that Kay wasn't lying and it wasn't a joke.

Charity just pulled her hand away from theirs, she knew that they weren't lying and sat there in shock...
