Chapter 22: Make Up

Three days went by and the two of them were miserable and it drove the others absolutely crazy. All they did was mope around Trent's house. If one saw the other, they'd go the other way.

Kira was sitting in her room strumming the strings on her guitar as she thought about what Conner said to her. Tears pressed against her eyes. "How could I be so stupid?" She muttered. She set her guitar down and she placed a hand on her stomach. "Your daddy hates me now," she whispered. Tears fell down her face as she laid down on her bed and pulled her pillow close to her. "How can I tell him now?" She muttered.

Conner was in the soccer field kicking soccer balls into the net. "Conner," Trent called. Conner kicked too hard and nearly hit Trent in the head. "Hey! You did that on purpose," he snapped.

"Sorry," he muttered.

"What the hell has gotten into you?" Trent asked.

"Excuse me?"

"Kira's sorry for believing Krista."

Conner shook his head. "I'm not taking her back, Trent," he answered. Trent grabbed onto Conner's arm.

"Conner, Kira needs you," he told him.

"Kira did fine without me when I was evil. Hey, maybe you should just go back to her."

Before Conner could react, Trent punched him in the face. "Son of a bitch," Conner snapped. He held his jaw and looked at Trent. "What the hell was that for?" He asked.

"Knocking some sense into you. Conner, Kira needs you. She doesn't need anybody else on this team, she needs you. You've been holding her together," Trent answered.

"She doesn't need me."

"Yes she does! Come back to the house and see."

Conner just stood there wiping the blood from his lip. "You go back, Trent and I'll just stay here," he answered. Trent let out a sigh.

"Fine, I give up," he snapped.

Trent turned and walked away.

(Trent's House)

Kitty was with Kira now. Kira had her head in Kitty's lap and was crying. "Kira, everything's going to be okay," she assured her. Kira shook her head.

"How can everything be okay?" Kira asked.

"If Conner doesn't come back, then Trent and I we can help you."

Kira sighed and let out a small sob. "It won't be the same. I was stupid, Kitty, so damn stupid. I did this to myself," she muttered. Kitty was silent. "I don't know what to do. I can't have a baby now," she added.

"What are you saying, Kira?" She asked.

Kira placed a hand on her stomach. "I can't have a baby now," she replied.

"Kira you're not seriously thinking about…." Kitty trailed off.

Kira closed her eyes. "I can't raise a baby without Conner," she answered. Kitty shook her head and had Kira face her.

"Kira, you and I have been against that for years. You'll go against your own beliefs?" She asked.

Kira lowered her head. "Every life is precious, Kira, you know that," Kitty pointed out. Kira sighed and pushed her hair out of her face.

"I don't know what to do," Kira murmured.

They looked up when there was a knock on the door. "Who is it?" Kira asked. The door opened and Conner peeked in.

"Kira…can I talk to you?" He asked.

"I don't think that's such a good…" Kira cut Kitty off.

"Kitty, it's okay," Kira answered.

Kitty got up and she went to leave the room when she stopped in front of Conner. "If you leave this room and she's crying again I'll kill you," she hissed. Then she left the room. Conner sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

"What do you want, Conner?" She asked.

Kira wiped the remaining tears from her face. Conner sighed and saw down on the bed. "Look, I've had a long time to think about this," he stated. Kira remained quiet. "I just want to know why you believed Krista over me?" He asked. Kira bit her lip.

"I don't now," she replied.

Conner sighed and she looked at him. "But Conner, I'm so sorry for what I thought and for what I did," she apologized. Tears pressed against her eyes. "I need you here with me, Conner," she added. She lowered her head.

"Kira…you never had to depend on me before," he pointed out.

"Things are different now."

"What do you mean?"

Kira took his hand and placed it on her stomach. "I'm pregnant," she replied. Conner's eyes widened in shock.

"Pregnant?" He asked.

Kira nodded. Before she could react, Conner hugged her tight. "I can't believe it," he murmured. Kira hugged him back.

"So you want to keep the baby?" She asked.

Conner pulled back. "Of course I want to keep the baby," he replied. Kira felt a lump rise in her throat.

"Thank God," she sobbed.

Conner hugged her again. "I'm here. I'm always here," he murmured.
