"Lose sight of the ground in the throw around"

Keely was sitting with her feet dangling the pool at the Country Club. She kicked the water, and looked over at Via who was sitting beside her.

"I can't believe school's starting soon," she said.

"I know…we've all come a long way this summer. Especially you and Phil." Via said.

"We have. Um…V…there's something I need to tell you…" Keely whispered looking back at the water.

"What is it Keely? It sounds serious."

Keely kicked her feet, she was dressed comfortably in stretch Capri's to accommodate her growing tummy and a blue tunic that was a least three sizes too big for her. It wasn't exactly swimming attire.

"V…I'm pregnant." Keely revealed.

"WHAT!"

"Yeah I am…" Keely pulled up the hem of her shirt showing off her slightly rounded belly.

"Wow…you and Phil… and you didn't tell me?" Via asked.

"Yeah, sorry."

"How far along are you?"

"About sixteen weeks, which is like four months." Keely said.

"Wow…" Via said, "Can I?" she asked reaching out to feel Keely's stomach.

"Can you feel her?" Keely asked.

"Yeah…" Via said, "Wow…who else knows…"

"Just me and Phil and his mom and you." Keely said.

"So this is top secret?"

"Yes. I don't want the whole town to know until it's full blown obvious." Keely said.

"Gotcha." Via said, "So what about school?"

"What about it?"

"You're pregnant Keely, how are you going to finish the year?" Via asked.

"I'll finish and I will graduate on time." Keely said, "I'm gonna have to miss like what two months…three tops. It's our senior year. And if you think a little bun in the oven is gonna stop me think again."

Via laughed, and turned her head as Phil and Owen walked out with some drinks.

"Aww…I think congratulations are in order." Via said.

"For what?" Phil asked.

"I think you know…Daddy O!" Via giggled and Keely covered her face.

Phil blushed, "Yeah…"

"Okay what are you guys talking about?" Owen asked.

"Me and Keely are gonna have a baby. Well, she's gonna do most of the work." Phil said.

"So…you guys did it… and you knocked her up?" Owen asked, his jaw nearly touching the ground.

"Yes…" Phil said.

"Now…Owen you have to keep quiet about this. There are only a privileged few who know about her." Keely said, she couldn't call her baby girl an it.

"I can keep a secret…" Owen said.

Keely shot him a glare, "Remember the last time I asked you to keep a secret. You told the whole school!"

"Yeah, how I supposed to know that microphone was on it's not like it has a red-light on it or something." Owen said.

"It does…" Via rolled her eyes.

"So what do the proud parents want to do on the eve before our senior year?" Owen asked.

"Why don't we do what we always do?" Phil said.

Owen smirked before pushing Phil into the pool. They both came up splashing and swam over to where the girls were sitting. Phil was right in front of Keely with a mischievous smirk on his face.

"Don't even think about pulling me into that water Phillip Diffy. I just curled my hair." Keely said.

Phil smiled sweetly and slid his hands up her bare calves and up to her knees, "Come on Keel…live a little."

"I have been living a little. Hence the little baby, here. I'm good…" Keely said.

"Come on just jump in with me. We can play…" Phil said.

"Phil…" Keely said.

"You already know I'm gonna pull you in the water." Phil smirked.

"Fine. But I'm gonna have icky hair all week, and that's a fact." Keely said allowing him to pull her into the water.

Reflexively she wrapped her legs around his waist and held her breath as they went under water. They came to the surface and Phil spun her around as she gazed in his eyes.

"You'd better be glad I love you or else you'd be in big trouble mister." Keely said.

"That's not why I'm glad you love me." Phil said.

A squeak from Via as Owen chased her around the pool, caused Keely to break the intense gaze Phil had her locked in.

"You are not going to throw me in! Owen I mean it…" Via struggled in vain as Owen launched her into the pool.

"You wanna know why I'm glad you love me?" Phil asked guiding them over to the more shallow water.

"How come?" she asked biting her lower lip.

"Because I don't think I can live without your love."

"Phil...when you say things like that it scares me." Keely said.

"Are you afraid you're gonna lose me or of the sheer depth of what we feel for each other?"

"Both."

"I'm not going anywhere. We shouldn't be afraid of what we feel, we should embrace it." He said.

She couldn't break the gaze this time. It was like he was staring into her very soul, she trembled she'd never felt anything like that before. It was like she was spiraling into infinity all over again, falling endlessly, helplessly and even more hopelessly in love with him.

"Are you cold?" he asked leading her over to the step ladder in the pool.

"No…I'm fine…"She said.

"I shouldn't have made you get in the water; it must be kind of on the frigid side." Phil said.

Keely laughed, she loved it when he was making a big old fuss over her for nothing.

"Phil…it's like two hundred degrees, I shivered because you made me fall even more in love with you."

He kissed her, "Are you sure? I could get you a towel or a blanket? Whatever."

"No…you're very sweet but it won't be necessary. You got me out in the water. Now what?"

"We play…" he said leaning in and kissing her.

She squeezed her legs tighter around his waist; he ran a hand up her back she deepened the kiss and he moaned.

"Whoa ho, ho!" Owen shouted causing them to break the kiss.

"You two are heating up the water. No wonder she's got a bun in the oven…" Owen said.

"Shut up Owen…" Keely and Phil both said at the same time.

They played all night and then the cleaned up their messes and finished cleaning the fairgrounds they were done by midnight.

"Well, I think I'm gonna head home." Owen said getting up from the tallest hill on the fairgrounds.

"What? You sleepy?" Via feigned shock.

"Yeah. Unlike the three of you I have an eight o'clock class tomorrow." Owen said.

"I should take off too…" Via said.

"Hmmm…" Keely said lifting her head off Phil's chest, "That sounds like a plausible excuse so the two of you can spend some time alone."

Both Via and Owen blushed, much to Phil's surprise.

"Say it isn't so…" Phil said.

"I'm afraid it is sweetie." Keely kissed him on the cheek.

"Go…have fun." Phil managed as his girlfriend went to work kissing his neck.

Phil rolled Keely over onto the grass so she was on top of him, and looked into her eyes.

"Baby...you don't know what that does to me…" Phil whispered.

"I think I know…"

"I think Owen and Via have a good idea about getting out of here. When wet clothes dry on you…it's not fun." Keely said.

"Yeah…it does suck. Maybe we should go change."

Phil stood up and reached out a hand to his girlfriend to help her up, "C'mon."

He pulled her to her feet effortlessly, "I'd like to see you do that when I really turn into a whale."

"Keely trust me, you're not gonna turn into a whale."

"Phil…you don't need to humor me…I'm already a beached whale…" she said.

"Whatever, you're beautiful. And I'm sure you'll look even better once that little one decides to really make her presence known." Phil said.

"You are just too good to be true."

"Does it scare you?"

"Yes…" she admitted, "Stop looking at me like that." She said stomping ahead of him back toward the Country Club.

"Looking at you like what?" He asked; easily fell into step with her.

"You know how, with your eyes all dark and penetrating…" Keely blushed.

"I've got dark penetrating eyes…and I am looking at you…" he still didn't know what she was talking about.

"Looking at me like I'm naked or something…" she said.

It was his turn to blush.

"Not like naked, naked…like you can see my soul kind of naked."

"I can…see your soul I mean."

"Yeah…" she said, "Phil…it scares me that you are the most amazing guy I'll ever meet and the only man I could see myself being with…and whenever things get really good between us you always find out you're gonna leave…I just have this feeling that you could just walk away and leave me…"

"I'm not going anywhere, I could never walk away from you…from us… from our family...besides my mom forbade my father from working on the time machine." Phil said.

"She wants to stay?" Keely asked.

"No…she's tired of him pretending like he's fixing it and going Virtual Goggling." Phil smirked.

Keely laughed.

"No, that was a joke…she doesn't want to leave either, she knows I can't." Phil said.

She pulled him into a hug, "I love you…"

"I love you too Keel," he said returning the embrace.

"I am so glad you're not gonna be leaving me anytime soon."

"I'm not leaving you ever…" he mumbled into her wet hair.

"Promise?"

"I promise."

He took her hand and led her back through the front gate and locked it once they were out of it. He'd gotten permission to have a few friends poolside to help him clean up the Last Blast Festival on the fairgrounds, and maybe do some after hours swimming.

"I need you to keep your calendar open. Next Sunday night is gonna be a special night for us." He said, walking around to the passenger side door and opening it for her.

"What pray tell?" she asked once he'd gotten in on the driver's side.

"You'll just have to wait and see." He smirked, cranking up the car.

"No fair…" she whined.

He smiled; he had finally found the perfect engagement ring for her. He'd wanted to get something gaudy and expensive to let her know she was totally worth it. But he'd saw a ring at an estate sale in Tuscany when they'd skyaked over there on a whim.

It was a beautiful diamond solitaire on a white gold band, with little diamonds surrounding the solitaire. He'd gotten it for roughly 200 dollars. He used his Wizard to appraise it and discovered that it was worth at least four times what the poor Tuscan widow had sold it for.

"We have to have lunch with our parents next Sunday. My mom wants to get know your family better because I've been spending so much time with you guys." Keely said.

"Maybe it'll be a good time to tell them about our daughter." Phil said he liked thinking of the baby as their daughter; even know he knew he hadn't even made love to Keely yet.

Keely smiled she seemed to like it too, "I love you so much Phil…I like thinking of her as our daughter too."

"As far as I'm concerned she is."

"You really are too good to be true."

"But I am true." He said.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you…" Keely said.

"You didn't have to do anything…loving you is the reason I'm alive," Phil said, "I know that I'm not big on an the spiritual but I know there's a reason we got stuck in this century…and it's you…" he said.

"We were meant to be…you've shown me that..." Keely said...tears shining in her eyes.

"School starts tomorrow…she quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah… and I can safely say it'll be an interesting year…" he said.

"Got that right…"

Phil smiled, this year was just the beginning of their life together.
