Disclaimer: There is a Gilmore Girls reference... sorta. You probably wouldn't realize it unless you watch the show, but it is in there. So Amy P... please don't sue me. Hey, that rhymes! Anyways, on with the story.
Tony felt his heart drop a little bit more with each passing second. His mind was running wild with possibilities. His heart completely sank when he realized what Kate was talking about and it drowned in the pit of his stomach when he realized it was Kate's fault.
"How could you do this Kate? Are you that heartless?" Tony found himself yelling at her. He was so angry.
Kate's eyes welled up with tears as Tony's words stung her. This wasn't what she had expected. It seemed like Tony was blaming her for the health and condition of their baby. Putting it literally, if he hadn't wrecked the car, none of them would be this beat up... including their child! "No Kate. Don't blame Tony. That's not right," she told herself.
"First you hide the pregnancy from me for a month and now you just want to ruin it all? What the hell is wrong with you?"
Then again... "You wrecked the car, not me!" she screamed back as she stormed out of the bathroom and into her room.
"Oh so you can't take the blame? Not old enough to handle your own responsibilities so you just lay it all off on the guy. Right?" He followed her.
"How is this my fault?"
"You're the one getting an abortion and you want to know how this is your fault?"
"An abortion?" Kate asked shocked. "I can't believe you would think that."
"Your not?"
"No... the doctor just..."
"Just what?"
"God Tony. I can't believe you think I would do that." Kate's voice cracked as she ignored his question. "You don't know me at all do you?" She paused, gathering her thoughts. "We can't do this."
"What?" Tony said, dropping wondering about whatever the doctor had told her.
"If you really think that I am that heartless of a person then... we don't belong together."
Tony's heart had already dropped sunk and drowned. Now it was shattering, breaking. "Katie!" What was she saying? "Are you saying that..."
"Yes," she interrupted, tears steadily rolling down her face.
"But I was just jumping to conclusions. It seemed like the only logical explanation. It's just your hormones Katie... you don't really want this."
"I do. And I understand, but for you to immediately assume that instead of another possibility like the baby just isn't strong enough... I am still in shock. I mean look at us, we don't know each other at all," Kate cried.
"Baby, of course we do." Tony stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Kate. Thankfully, she didn't resist or pull away. He rested his chin in her hair and she snuggled deeper into his chest. "Even if we don't, we have the rest of our lives to spend together. The rest of our lives to find out every pet peeve and every sweet spot." He smiled slightly, stepped back from her and looked straight into her brown eyes. "Marry me."
"What?"
"Marry me Caitlin Todd. Please? I will be the happiest man, in the world."
"Have you lost it? You don't ask a woman to marry you to stop a fight."
"But it's what I want. It's what we want. Isn't it?" Tony asked, hurt and surprised.
"It doesn't matter what you want. When you proposed to someone, there... there's supposed to be a thousand orange lilies and you're supposed to get down on one knee with a ring or without... and music is supposed to be playing in the background and there is supposed to be a waterfall. I am not sure what the waterfall is for, but you need it. You can't just ask because a relationship is over or ending," Kate explained.
"A waterfall?" Tony questioned, trying to lighten the mood.
He went to grab her hand, but she pulled away. "You should just go." He went to say something, but she stopped him. "Just go Tony. Please?"
Chapter Title- I titled this chapter 'Heartbreak' because obviously, Tony's heart is breaking for many different reasons. As is Kate's because Tony thought thatand because she feels she has to do this... has to end it. I thought it was kinda obvious.
Now please review guys cause you know you love me!
