Surprises Ch. 9

Kris drove for what seemed like a while, but in all truth she was just a few miles from the Ranch. She checked in and settled down in her new home away from home. Then she picked up her phone and decided to call her brother to check on Kensley.

"Hello?" questioned a tiny voice on the other end.

"Hey sweetie how are you?" Kris asked her daughter.

"MAMA! I miss you." Kensley told her mom.

"I know you do sweetie, but Mama has to take care of some business. You remember me telling you all about your Daddy?" she asked the 2 year old.

"Yeah, you said he lived on a ranch with lots of horses." Said the 2 year old followed by lots incomprehensible baby talk. Although Kris made out a few "ponies", "unicorns", and "big chickens". Kris had to laugh at the fact that big chicken described her to a tee right about now.

"Where is your Uncle?" Kris asked her daughter trying to find someone who could give her real words instead of a lot of baby gibberish.

"He here." Kensley said giving her uncle the phone.

"Hey Kris." her brother said getting the phone, "Had any luck with those two knuckle heads yet?"

"Well…I told them but they didn't take it so well. Neither did Matt's mom or step-dad. Tod, his brother, is the only one who is supportive of me. I am at a hotel right now cause I couldn't stand living in the same house with Matt and his family knowing what I did."

"Yeah I guess your right, but if you need me to take anyone out you just let me know." Her brother said with a laugh. "Really Kris if you need anything or just need to see me or Kensley I will bring her out there."

"Really? Cause I could really deal with seeing a happy face or two besides Tod's. SO you are going to bring Kensley?" She asked hopefully knowing full well that her brother would do anything for his little sister.

"Yes we will leave tomorrow and come on out there. I am just a couple of hours a way so we will get there in no time. Just tell me how to get there and I will be there with her tomorrow." He said.

After the long conversation with her brother and Kensley, Kris was completely wiped out. Yet, she couldn't sleep knowing everyone she had hurt today and the tiny bit of excitement she felt at having Kensley come out there tomorrow. How would she take Kensley to see her dad? What would Junior say? What would Jean, Pablo, Matt, and Tod do at seeing their next of kin? But, most of all she thought about Kensley and how she would react to all of this.
