A/N-Hey guys! I'm glad so many seem to like this story..I was hoping you would, but I wasn't sure.

Here is the new chapter, I hope you like it…

CHAPTER 2: Unexpected Suprises

"Tomorrow, be at the track by eight. Fredrick Marcello is wanting you to ride his colt, Bonjour Madame. And your first race is at ten," Kerry said.

"You think Arion's got a shot tomorrow?" Kris asked thinking about the grey colt she was racing with the next day.

"Let's hope so. Pierre is a good trainer, but he doesn't have very good horses. You're the only rider who likes to ride for the guy, and he is desperate for some wins."

"I would be too. I'm glad I signed on with him though, these past eight weeks have been crazy riding for so many people. It's nice to have one person always there," she told him. Reminds me of Raintree. She was leaning against her red car as Kerry spoke to her. Kris hadn't felt good all day and wanted to get out of the cold and get to her apartment and sleep. Europe really has a way of taking it's toll on people, that's for sure.

"Well, I think you have a good shot with Aeton. And then your also racing Rosaleen, Cario, and Aaren. So in five races, I'm sure you can win one or two of them."

"I won't be happy unless I win all. But with the way I've been feeling these past few days, I'll be surprised if I get out of the bed tomorrow."

"You haven't been to the doctor yet?" he asked concerned.

"No, when am I suppose to go, Kerry? You have me riding from sun up to sun down everyday," Kris snapped. She turned and got into her car. "I'll see you tomorrow," she put the car into drive and pulled off, "unfortunately," she added.

Back at Raintree..

"Have you talked to Kris?" Matt asked out of the blue.

"Not in a few weeks. She's been really busy and when she does return my calls she is so tired. So I just told her to call me when she has time," Junior told him. He missed Kris, a lot. Her being so far away really took it's toll on him. He had to keep busy just to keep from thinking about her too much.

"Mom talked to her the othe day, she's been really sick lately. Kerry has her riding all the time. She siad something about having five races and training every weekend. I don't see why she is doing it," Matt sighed. He missed his best friend. He felt bad for Junior.

"Yeah, well I got to get. I'll talk to you later man," Junior said walking out of the house. He didn't like talking about Kris, or thinking about her. It hurt to much to let her go, but knew it was the right thing.

The next morning…in Europe. Uh oh!

Kris woke up with an awful feeling in her stomach. She opened her eyes and a sharp pain went through her head. A large wave of nausea flooded over her body. She quickly got up, despite the pain in her body, and made her way to the bathroom and hurled. She felt so bad. She stood up slowly and wiped her face with cold water. She opened to mirror to get some medicing out when she saw it, a box of tampons. She didn't think about it at first but then it hit her. She was late, way late!

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!" she screamed! She couldn't believe this. Could she be pregnant? Well, yeah. I could be pregnant. That night before I left was something fierce. It's possible, very possible that something went wrong that night. We didn't use protection. Oh my God! I can't believe I'm pregnant. What am I going to tell Kerry. What about Junior? Oh god! Poor Junior. He can't know. I can't..I can't have this baby. I can't do it. I have to call Kerry and let him know I can't ride for a while! Oh shit!

Kris picked up her phone. Kerry answered on the third ring.

"Hey Kris, is everything alright?" he asked. Kris never called him.

"No Kerry! I can't ride today. I need you to cancel for me! I think I know what's wrong with me," she said quickly. The sooner I get this over with, the better.

"What do you mean, Kris. You have to ride today!"

"Kerry, I'm pregnant," she snapped.

"Oh,well, um.." he was at a loss for words.

"Just cancel the races. I'm going to get this taken care of and I'll be able to ride again in no time." Kris quickly hung up the phone. She looked over at the clock. It was only 6 a.m. She still had a few more hours of sleep before it would be a good time to go to the doctor's office.

What am I going to do?

"Hi, I'm Kristine Furiilo, I need to see with a doctor, please," she said to the lady at the front desk.

"Sure thing. Have you ever been here before?" the French lady said in a heavy accent.

"No," Kris simply replied.

"Take these papers and fill them out and bring them back," she said handing Kris and clipboard with a stack of papers. Kris smiled at the lady and went and sat down in a blue chair in the corner. She began filling out the paper work. She was the only person here, which was a good thing. Less embarrasing.

Kris returned the paper's and went to sit back down when a couple walked in with a little girl. The man went to go sign in as the mother and child went to sit down. The little girl was babbling up a storm. Kris couldn't take her eyes off of the child.

"Junior, I'm going to have a baby," she looked into his beautiful brown eyes.

"I love you," he said softly hugging her tight against his chest.

Kris snapped out of her daydream when they called her name. She stood up and followed the nurse into an exam room.

"The doctor will be in with you shortly," she said polietly before leaving the room handing Kris a paper thin gown. Kris quickly changed into it and sat on the exam table. The doctor was there in less than five minutes.

"Bonjour Kristine!" he said cheerfully walking into the room.

"You can call me Kris," she said politely.

"Okay, Kris, well I'm Dr. Pierre Marsh. What can I do for you today?" he asked.

"Well, um, " she didn't know how to say it, "I think I'm pregnant."

"Oh, well have you taken a test?" he asked.

"No. But I've been really sick the past couple of weeks and today I realized I was really late, so I kinda put two and two together," she stated.

"Well, lay back and I will run an ultrasound to confirm it," he said. Kris nodded and laid back. She couldn't believe this was happening.

The doctor put some cold blue gel on her stomach and faced a t.v. looking screen around. He got the wand and ran it over her stomach. Kris looked at the screen, there was something pulsing. She could tell already, it was true.

"Well, Kris, it seems you are right. You have a healthy baby in there."

"I can't have a baby," she spat out.

"You want to," he stuttered, "abort it? Kris, you should think very carefully about this. That is a piece of you and someone else insidde of you. Is there any diseases that could possibly harm this baby that you or the father have?"

"No, we are both healthy. But, you see, I'm a jockey. I'm from the States originally. I just came here to load up my resumé."

"Kris, is aborting the baby what you really want?" he asked.

Kris thought back to the little girl in the lobby and her daydream of Junior and her caring for a child together. She knew that neither Junior, or herself, were ready for a child, but someone had given her one anyways.

"No, it's not what I want," Kris sighed.

"I didn't think it was. Who is the lucky Daddy?" he asked.

"My boyfriend, he is still back home. I don't think I should tell him though," she sighed. This was going to be confusing.

"Well, if it's any help, I think you are doing the right thing, Dr. Marsh said.

"Well, I guess I need to find a doctor for this kid," she sighed looking down at her stomach.

"There is a great doctor, Dr. Andrea Lovelady. She is a partner of mine and I think you will like her. She is here if you would like to meet her."

"Um, yea sure." Kris said. She watched as Dr. Marsh walked out of the room. She looked back down at her stomach. It was still covered in blue slime, but she didn't care. She felt something swell in her heart.

Okay, so here is the plan. I can't tell Junior. I'll just stay here until after this thing is born and then go back home, and hope they don't all hate me. I can't go back pregnant. I just can't.

A small lady with long brown hair stepped into the room.

"Hello Kris. I'm Dr. Lovelady, or Dr. Love. Dr. Marsh told me about you," she said walking up to shake Kris's hand. "Let's take a look at your baby," she smiled.

Kris looked at her new doctor. She was young, no older than thiry, but older than twenty-five. She had long hair and big green eyes. She was about Kris's size and had light skin.

"Alright, you are about 8 weeks along. Your baby is very healthy, you can hear it's heart beating," she said with a smile on her face. Kris could hear the steady beating from the ultrasoud machine.

"Good," Kris smiled.

"Your due date is around August the thrid week in August, I'm going to say the seventeenth. But don't be paranoid if that day comes and the baby isn't ready yet. That's just an estimated time. I'm going to write you a prescription for some pre-natal vitamins and get you scheduled for an appointment next month. Do you have any questions?"

Kris could tell she was originally from the Us by her accent. "Can I ride?"

"No, I'm sorry. Not racing. You ride at a walk, but you probably won't feel like even doing that in a few months. Your already about two months along so pretty soon you are going to start showing and are going to be really tired and not want to do anything, especially ride," Dr. Love told her.

"Okay, well no more questions," Kris said as the doctor wiped her flat stomach free of the slime.

"Okay. Here is your prescription and I have you scheduled for February 2nd for next appointment. I nurse is going to come and do some blood work, then you can leave" Dr. Love said handing her a stack of papers. "There is some more information in those papers I gave you. If you have any questions, please, don't hesistate to call me," she smiled sweetly.

"Thank you," Kris said before Dr. Love walked out of the room.

After the blood work, Sse got into her car and pulled out her phone. She had some missed calls from Kerry she dialed his number and waited on him to answer.

"Hey Kris! How did the doctor's appointment go. Did you get rid of the baby?" he asked as soon as he answered.

"No Kerry. I didn't. I want to have this baby. I'm not riding anymore, you can find another jockey. But I am staying in Europe, until the baby is born, and then I'm going back home. I'm going to get a job somewhere to pay for the apartment. So please, just stay away from me," she ended the call and made her way to the pharmacy.

3 weeks later…

Kris decided to move to a cheaper apartment, mainly becasuse the job she had gotten at a fancy French restaurant didn't pay enough for rent. But she liked her new place, it wasn't cheap, but it didn't cost a lot to live in either. Her job paid well, more than most. She was more excited everyday about being a mom, much to her surprise.

Kris woke up one morning with the sun shining brightly on her eyes. She looked at the picture of Junior on her night stand and smiled. Her hand instantly went to her stomach. Her eyes bulged as she felt a small bump. She jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom. She lifted her t-shirt and exposed her belly. She turned for a side view and sure enough, there was a small bump there.

"Hi baby, are you finally ready for Mommy to see that you are there?" she said in a baby voice. Today, she was going shopping for new maternity clothes. Lidia, a lady she worked with was going with her. She was meeting her at the mall in a little over an hour. Kris got in the shower and got ready for the day ahead of her.

"Are you more excited now that you finally have your baby bump? Lidia asked her at lunch that afternoon.

"Yes, I thought I would dread the gaining weight part since I've always been trying to keep my weight down, but I'm pretty excited about it."

"Well, just weight until you get to thirty weeks, you are going to wish you were that small again," she laughed. Lidia was thiry-one, she already had three kids. Her oldest was Lynn, she is nine. Then there is Patrick, seven, and the youngest, Kyra is three. "Do you want a boy or a girl? You'll be able to find out soon."

"I really don't care, honestly. This pregnancy was such a surprise that I haven't really given it a thought," Kris said sipping on her ice water.

"What about a nursery theme?" Lidia asked, "I have my old stuff still if you want a theme that I had."

"What did you have?" Kris asked her.

"Well, with Lynn the theme was bunnies. Patrick was baseball, and Kyra was Tinker-Belle," she laughed, Kris laughed also.

"I probably won't do a decked out nursery. I'm leaving a few months after the baby is born anyways, and there really is no point. I'll probably just do a color theme."

"What about names?" Lidia asked. She loves to ask questions doesn't she?

"Well, if it's a boy I'm not naming it after Junior! But, like I've said before, I haven't though about names. And I think I'm going to wait until it's born to decided. I don't want to pick a name and call it that while I'm pregnant and it come out and not fit the name I pick," she said.

"I understand. I did that with all three of my kids, named them on the spot. They came out and I knew that's what their name was going to be."

Kris laid in bed that night thinking deaply about everything.

I really should tell Junior. It's not fair for him to not know, I mean, it is his baby. But then he will want me to come home. And I don't want to do that, though it really isn't a bad idea. I'm just going to wait until I go home, and he will find out then. God, I love him. But this isn what's best for him. I can't ruin his life with this. It's my responsibility. Junior doesn't have to be involved.

"I'm sorry you're mom is so screwed up, Baby. But once we get back to California, you will meet your daddy, and I'm sure he will love you. I know I do," she smiled rubbing her small abdomen.

"But no matter what, even is Daddy doesn't want to have anything to do with you, or me, I will still be here. And we will be a family. That's a promise."

A/N-Sooooo, I know this chapter wasn't the best. But I wanted to get the point our really quickly. The rest of the pregnancy won't fly by, you'll get every aspect of it My dedicated readers now I love detail!!!
