The Afters

Chapter 11

The Next Day

"Daddy?"

"Yes Hol?"

"Where's mommy?"

"Mommy had to go someplace, she'll be back soon."

"Where'd she had to go daddy?"

"She went to see her friend…. someplace."

"Aunt Monique?"

"No Holly."

Little Holly sat on the sofa looking out the large window, waiting for her mothers return. Ron was sitting on the floor with a bunch of papers about the popularity of Nacos and Chimburritos. He typed information on his laptop, Holly starred at him with curious eyes.

"Whatcha doing daddy?" she hopped down and curled up next to him.

"You want to watch?" he asked her. Holly bobbed her head up and down. "Alright, but don't touch anything, understand?"

"Yes daddy."

"I'm looking to see how much people love Bueno Nacho food."

"Oh."

"You know Holly. I invented the Naco."

"You did?"

"Yep. Look."

He opened up the Internet and brought up Bueno Nachos site.

"Okay, food. While critics say our food is good, everyone agrees that the Nacho (right) is the tastiest yet. Created by Mr. Ronald Stoppable who is now President of Bueno Nacho."

"Wow daddy, you must be rich."

"Well, only some money goes for leisure for you mommy and I. Most of it is put away in a bank, either for safe keeping, or your future."

"Oh." She cuddled into her father's chest, "I want a puppy."

"Oh Hol." He chuckled and kissed her on her head.

Kim silently opened the door and walked inside. She took off her sweater in silence and did not look at her family. Ron, with his secret bond with Kim, knew something was wrong. Holly also sensed the bad vibes and walked up to Kim.

"Mommy?" she cooed while wrapping her arms around her leg.

Kim looked down at her and smiled. "Hey Holly." She whispered. Looking back up she saw Ron, leaning back on the floor. He looked at her and smiled. She just starred in silence.

"Say Holly." He instructed, "Why don't you take Rufus and go play in your room?"

"Okay!" she smiled running over to pick up the sleeping Rufus. "Bye Mommy! Bye Daddy!" she ran out of the room. Neither of the remaining two said a word for a few moments. Kim began to sit down on the sofa, when Ron started the conversation,

"Hey Kp." He smiled.

"Hi Ron." Her voice was shaky.

"SOOO." He climbed up next to her. "What did the doctor say?"

She looked at him with sorrowful eyes. Tears began to drop down onto her lap.

"Kim?"

She leaned into his chest, feeling the beating of his heart. She inhaled sharply and cried even harder.

"I was pregnant." She cried silently.

"Kim! Why are you crying, that's wonderful! We're going to have another baby!"

"NO RON!" She cried even harder. She became short of breath and clenched his shirt.

He frowned at her, "Kimbo? Why isn't it good?"

She sniffed after calming down. She slowly got up and started shaking. "Ron." She gulped, "I was pregnant."

"Huh?"

"We." She paused. "We lost the baby."

It took Ron a moment to understand. He also began to cry, but held her close to him in embracement. "Oh Kim."

She sniffed again. "I don't understand it. One moment, on the ultra-sound, you see this little thing, feeling all happy and warm inside. But, the next moment its, it's gone. The baby, the feeling. Everything, just gone."

"Kim." Ron hugged her tighter. "It's okay. It will be okay. I'm here for you."

Her eyes sparkled at him.

"Both of my shoulders are here for you babe." He smiled sweetly while kissing her on her head.

She snuggled deep into his body, "You never change do you Ron?"

"I may be your husband, but I'm your best friend too." He grinned, "Come on. I'll make your favorite."

"Dinner, or dessert?"

"Both."

I know I know. Why did I make that happen? Well, I wanted Kim and Ron to experience tragic loss in their lives. And what's one of the worst things people can lose? A child. But don't worry, next chapter will be much happier. I promise.
