Chapter 13: Honeymoon Ruined

Kira woke up in Connor's arms and smiled as she snuggled closed to him. Being in his arms felt so great and she couldn't wait to be spending time like this for the rest of her life. Sure they were still in high school, but high school was ending soon, which means they could actually start being a family. She looked over to see Connor still fast asleep. She got out of his embrace and got into the shower.

After she got out of the shower, she pulled her guitar out of it's case and sat on the balcony of their honeymoon suite. They were able to stay in a very nice hotel thanks to Kimberly. She was going to have to personally thank them for all they did for her and Connor. They let her keep Christopher, they let her and Connor be together, and Kimberly gave her a house for them to live in. Kira strummed the strings of her guitar and smiled as she felt Connor's arms go around her waist. "Good morning, Mrs. McKnight," he greeted.

"Good morning, Mr. McKnight," she greeted back.

He placed a kiss on her neck and pulled her into his lap. "Making up another song?" He asked.

"You know as well as I do that my life is revolved around music," she replied.

"Well, now we have the responsibilities of being a husband, a wife, and parents to our baby boy," he murmured.

"Connor, what about our dreams?" She asked.

Connor sighed, he wanted his soccer dream just as bad as she wanted her singing dream. However, they had to take care of their precious son. "We'll work something out when Christopher gets older. Maybe we could work as teachers or something," he replied.

"You a teacher? That's hard to picture," she teased.

"Well, I could be a soccer coach," he suggested.

"That sounds more in your area. Maybe I could have a job in guitar lessons."

"Sounds good, but for now, we have to worry about passing school."

Kira nodded and she leaned against Connor. She was thinking about her precious baby boy that she wanted at home with her. She couldn't wait to hold that baby in her arms again. She loved the feeling of holding her son. She held onto his hand with a sigh. "Connor, do you think my parents will ever come back into our lives?" She asked. Connor held her to him as he thought about it. Kira's parents never kept in contact with them ever since Kira got pregnant with Christopher. They just like cut themselves out of the picture making it look like Kira had only Kimberly.

"One day, Kira, one day they'll come back into our lives," he replied.

"And will we be ready for them to come back?" She asked.

"I don't think we'll ever be ready."

He laced her fingers with his and their wedding rings touched. Connor pulled some of her hair back and kissed her neck. Kira sighed as she leaned into his touch. The night they spent together when Christopher was conceived came back into her mind. Thinking of when they made love the first time. She was the one who said that she was ready to take that next step and they did. Yet again, they were living to what people at school and at Kira's house as consequences. They all called Christopher a mistake. Connor and Kira calledChristopher a gift. Kira then pushed everything out of her mind and she pulled Connor into a kiss.

That evening, Connor and Kira were lying in bed enjoying their time together. They were holding on each other's hands as they relaxed. They never felt this relaxed for a long time, ever since she got pregnant they felt like they were being watched every second of the day. Just then, the moment was ruined when the phone rang. "Christopher, Connor, Christopher," she murmured. Connor grabbed the phone.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Connor, it's Kimberly," the caller informed.

"Kim, what's wrong?" He asked.

"Kira's parents were here."

Connor shot up from bed. "What?" He asked.

"They had brought families to look at Christopher," she replied.

"Nothing was signed right?" He asked.

"No, you didn't give them permission on paper, nothing can happen to Christopher yet. But I suggest you come home and protect your baby," Kimberly replied.

"We're on our way."

Connor hung up and looked at Kira. "Your parents are trying to get someone to adopt our son," he informed. He didn't have to say anymore, Kira was already getting dressed. He threw his clothes on, packed their bags, and then they checked out of the motel.

Connor and Kira ran towards the hospital worried. Kimberly was by the nursery door when they came running down the hall. "Are they here? Is my baby still in there?" Kira asked.

"He's still in there. Your parents are having child services look at him," she replied.

Connor and Kira burst into the room. "MOM, DAD!" She shouted. She ran in front of the incubator that held her son. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" Kira demanded.

"Cleaning out your trash," Greg informed.

Kira looked at he child services people in tears. "I don't want to give up my baby, whatever they told you was a lie. Please believe me. I don't want to give up my baby," she insisted. Connor placed his hand on his Kira's shoulder and glared at Greg and Irene.

"I should have you two arrested," he snarled.

"For what? For trying to clear our daughter's path?" Irene asked.

"No, for harassing us. We told you once, we told you twice, and we'll tell you again. Christopher is our son and we're gong to raise him together. Mr. and Mrs. Connor McKnight," Connor informed.

Irene's eyes widened when she saw the wedding ring on Kira's finger. "You married that bastard," she whispered.

"We are sorry, Mr. and Mrs. McKnight, we had no idea," the people informed.

"It's okay, it's not the first time my parents tried to get rid of my son without my permission," Kira informed.

Child services left and then Connor and Kira glared at her parents. "Kimberly, could you escort my parents out of here?" She asked.

"Gladly," Kimberly replied.

She led the Fords out of the room and Kira was able to hold her son. "It's okay sweetie, mommy's here," she whispered.

"Daddy's here too, buddy," Connor put in.

Kira sat down with her son in her arms with tears in her eyes. "They are never going to give up, Connor, they are never going to give up," she whispered. He placed his hands on her shoulders to calm her down and kissed the side of her head.

"I'll help you protect our son, Kira, he'll never leave our sight," he assured her.
