Chapter Nine-Kimberly's Story
"It all started one day, when I fell off of the balance beam. I didn't have a spotter, because I was there alone. Your dad was going to meet me there, and I figured that nothing would go wrong if I started without him. But I was wrong. I slipped and fell, and I was brought to the hospital.
"My mother and Tommy met me there. After doing some tests, the doctors found out that I was pregnant. That was when the trouble started. MY mother was furious. She had been planning on paying for everything, but she refused when she found out I was going to have a baby. You see, she didn't exactly like your father very much, and we weren't exactly married at the time either. We were only engaged. But my mother got livid, and refused to pay for anything. She said that if I didn't leave your father, she would deny that I ever existed.
"But I loved your father. I wouldn't leave him. So my mother left. I never saw her again until today. She did contact me once though. It was very early in the morning, after Billy and Trini's wedding. She called and started talking like nothing had ever happened between us. But I got angry at her and told her to leave me alone, and to never come near me again. I thought that she got the message, but apparently I was wrong. I have no use for a mother who doesn't want me because of the man I love. And I would rather have my husband than my pathetic excuse for a mother. I'm sorry you had to find out about her like that Ann. I was going to tell you about her one day, but I didn't know how to, or if you would accept the way I had reacted to the situation."
"It's ok mom." Ann reassured Kimberly. "I always wondered why you never told us anything about her, and I do accept the choice you made. I think I would have done the same thing. But I know I won't have to, because you would never do that to me."
"You're right, I wouldn't. And thank you for understanding. It means a lot to me that you trust my judgement."
"No problem mom." Ann said. "I should be going though mom. I left Jason, uh…alone in the living room. And I know you heard that crash earlier, whatever that was."
"OK honey. You just make sure he didn't break anything."
"Sure mom." And with that, Ann ran out of the kitchen and into the living room.
Kimberly smiled at her daughter's receding footsteps. She knew that she hadn't told Ann the exact truth, but it was close enough. Tommy and Kimberly had agreed that their children didn't need to know about their mother being in the hospital, unless Ann or David remembered something about it. And as far as they knew, the twin's remembered nothing of their early childhood. Which was a good thing, because of all of the things that had happened within two days of Kimberly coming home.
But unfortunately for Tommy and Kimberly, their twin's remembered everything. Absolutely everything, from the hospital visits to their stay in Scarlette's prison.
