Sorry this didn't come sooner. For some reason wouldn't allow me to upload.
Kim's apartment phone rang, it was near twelve midnight. Who could be calling at this time of night?
"Hold on, Hold on!" Kim said out loud to herself as she dragged herself out of bed to answer the phone. Picking up the phone with eyes still unfocused she greeted the caller warily. Geez, who's calling at this time?
"Hello... Kim? KP, you there?" The voice from the other end responded. It was Ron.
"Ron..." was all Kim could manage. She didn't know what to say. Kim was still heartbroken, her pregnancy playing with her hormones, missing him, jealous of Yori and angry with him all at once. "What do you want?" She ventured, not trying to sound too confrontational.
"I-I wanted to talk... to you."
There was more silence from both parties. Ron was waiting on an answer and Kim was still unsure of how to go on. Should I tell him I'm pregnant? Or should I just see what he wants, Kim wondered to herself. "Does Yori know you're calling here?"
"No. I don't want her to know. I need to talk to you, not like this. I need to see your face Kim." Ron started rambling not sure of what to say himself. "Kim, I miss you".
"Do you know what time it is?" she replied, immediately regretting her tone. Kim wasn't too sure if she really wanted to meet up with Ron. Two things were going through her mind. One, that Ron just wanted to be friends and not get back together and two, if he did want to come back to her then how would she deal with that.
"Sorry KP, I'm still on Japan time. I got back yesterday, just trying to get readjusted. I know I should have waited, but..." he tried to explain.
"Where are you staying?" Kim interrupted his stuttering excuse.
"Oh, uh with the 'rents. Just for just now." he said.
Ron listened for a reply from Kim, which he doubted was coming. "Kim?" he asked.
"Yeah, still here." There was a small pause again in the conversation before Kim spoke up again. "Ron, can you come over now?" she asked.
It was now Ron's turn to let the conversation grind to a halt momentarily. "Y-yeah, sure KP. I'll be over to your apartment ASAP." he informed her. When Ron had finished saying that he hung up his phone and dashed over to Kim's without even waking Rufus to let him know where he would be.
A bit later, when Ron had finally managed to get to Kim's apartment and she let him in, the two were sitting in Kim's modest front room in an awkward silence.
"KP, we need to talk" he ventured.
Kim just looked at Ron with sarcasm etched on her features and her arms crossed over her chest. "We need to talk! Isn't that what you're supposed to say to someone 'when' you break up with them and not 'after'?"
"That's not what I meant-" Ron tried to explain.
"-Then what did you mean?" Kim cut in, her anger was beginning to become the dominant emotion. Though heaven knew there were so many vying for supremacy. Ron knew this side of her very well.
"Kim, I know I hurt you but I don't want a fight." he pleaded.
"Hurt me? You have no idea, do you?" Kim whined. There was more actual hurt than anger etched on her features.
"Don't act as though you were the only one in the relationship. I was there too, there was a reason I left." Ron snapped back. Immediately though he had regretted getting into the argument.
"And what about Yori, huh? Did she 'comfort' you? Save you from the big bad Kim Possible?" responded Kim.
"I didn't want to get like this with you. I just wanted to apologise, for everything." Ron pleaded.
"Well, we're going to have to discuss it Ron. You did leave me for her." came a stern reply.
"No, I didn't! I mean... she was there for me, but I didn't actually go out with her. She did comfort me, just not like your saying." he said.
"I bet she wanted it." Kim spat the sentence just at the thought of the female ninja. To her this was the reason why she was never comfortable with Yori being Ron's friend.
"Yeah, Kim. She did, but I didn't want to jump into another relationship. I needed time to myself." Ron admitted. This seemed to have some effect on Kim. She was no longer a ball fury ready to bounce off of Ron. She thought back to how she had treated him and thought about how she would have reacted had someone even tried to treat her like that.
"KP?" Ron seemed to ask as though prompting her from her thoughts.
"I know Ron." Kim responded.
"Know what?"Ron asked, puzzled.
"I know you needed time to yourself. I know I treated you bad Ron." Kim admitted.
"It wasn't always like that, just recently. It got to me.Sorry." Ron said looking crestfallen.
"No, it was. It wasn't always that bad, but it was there." Kim replied thinking of the reason why it was that bad. I can't tell him, not now, not yet at least. "You were always the closest to me, and that always meant you were in the firing line because I couldn't control my temper." she explained.
"I know you're not perfect Kim. I act like I don't, but I do know it. We have our problems Kim and I know that dumping you and skipping town was horrible as well. That's why I'm here." Ron stalled in mid flow of his speech as he left his chair and sat on the sofa alongside Kim. He then put an arm around her before he went on. "What I'm saying is, I'd like to get back together. I don't mean just carry on as though it never happened, I want to y'know... talk about it, get it worked out." he said soothingly.
Kim sighed to herself. She leaned into Ron for comfort, resting her head in his shoulder. Knowing what you wanted didn't mean knowing what to do. Unwittingly she began stroking her stomach lightly, this didn't go unnoticed by Ron but he wasn't going to mention it just yet.
"Ron, I don't want to go through all this just right now. I'm exhausted and I don't want to snap at you, not again." she said sullenly.
"Do you want me to leave?" he asked.
"No, I don't. Stay with me." she answered, Kim was in another world. All the thoughts were catching up on her and she couldn't concentrate. "but you take the sofa tonight." she quickly added. It wasn't just her thoughts that were catching her up, the day was too. Kim kept drifting away, nearly falling asleep in Ron's arms, in his embrace. So much of her wanted to fall asleep, just for tonight at least or maybe forever. Strengthening her resolve she got up and made her way to her own bed.
Still working out the general idea. I know where I want to go with this and what I want to include. It may be a little bit longer until the update.
