"Phil, don't be angry, that's the last thing I want!" Keely pleaded and grabbed a toothbrush. She ran it around in her mouth for a minute and gurgled with Listerine rinse.
"Just tell me what it is, I won't be angry!" Phil said pulling his wife into his chest.
"I'm, I, I might be pregnant, again." She said so softly that Phil almost missed it.
Phil pushed Keely gently away from him and looked into her eyes. "Are you serious?" He asked extremely surprised. "Do you not know for sure?"
"Of course I'm serious. I couldn't joke about this stuff." She playfully smacked his chest. "And no I'm not sure; I'm two weeks late and I think I started having morning sickness today."
"Oh, so that's what that was." He said pointing to the toilet.
"Yeah, but it could also have been anxiety." She frowned. "This could possibly be a bad thing right now Phil!" She whined and sat on the floor. "Like you said this morning, I just started going back to work full time and I want to have a relationship with my son."
Phil watched as Keely threw her head into her arms. He sat down next to her and rubbed her back until she looked up. "We'll just play it by ear, okay Keel?"
She nodded. "But let's not tell anyone until we're sure, okay?"
"We'll do whatever you want to do. Let's just take it easy for now." Phil kissed Keely's forehead and smiled. She pulled away to look at him.
"Phil, I want to get to know my son." She said seriously. "I need to."
Phil thought for a moment. "Why don't we invite him to Page and Madison's birthday on Friday night?"
"Do you think that's right? You don't think bringing him here and putting him in front of a family he might not ever get to know is fair. I abandoned that poor child and I don't want to show him what's he's been missing out on Phil. I want to go and visit him, alone. You weren't there for long enough to understand my elocution. I put him up for adoption long before you came back and long before he even arrived to the world. It's my fault he never had a chance at a real life. And Phil, it's your fault he went from foster home to foster home." Phil looked at her with wide eyes and she continued. "Because you're stubborn, and god knows he got that from you."
He smiled. "Why don't you call the agency and ask for a number where you can reach him. Why don't you talk it out with him and figure out what he wants to do?"
She shrugged. "Let's just go back out there and face the world for right now?" Phil stood and helped Keely from the ground. She opened the door and her ears were filled with more sorrow.
"I'd throw something at you if I wasn't holding my daughters baby!" Mandy Teslow screamed from the living room. "Why don't you just leave our family alone?"
Keely turned towards Phil who held her tightly. "Can we play by mouth, because my ears are listing and I have a lot to say?"
Phil kissed her head and let her out of his grasp. Jack Teslow turned on his heals and stared at his daughter. "Oh, so this is the boy you let replace me!" He said hurt.
"No, this is Phil, my husband the guy you let replace you." Mandy turned around and stopped glaring at her ex and looked sincerely at her daughter.
"Here, take your baby back." Keely whipped her wet eyes and held Page on her hip. She turned towards Jack. "You need to leave." She said sternly.
"Why should I leave? I need to talk to my daughter." He crossed his arms. "She needs to understand that I've changed."
"You haven't changed. You're just pretending. You probably need money and you know the only person who has it is you're daughter." Mandy bitched.
Keely's mouth dropped and tears fell from her eyes onto Page's bear skin and bathing suit. "Are you serious?"
Mandy put a hand on Keely's shoulder. "Don't be upset. He tried to make peace with me about four years ago, and right when I was about to let you see him, he asked for a loan."
Keely handed Page to Phil who stood there motionless. "Get out." She said quietly.
"But Keel…"
She broke off. "I said get out." She yelled. He backed away toward the hallway.
"Okay, but I'm coming back." He said before closing the door behind him. Mandy locked it and turned back towards Keely.
"I'm so sorry!" She spoke gently. "I'm going to go back out side. You come out when you're ready." She half smiled and left through the back slider.
Keely and Phil stood silently for a moment. "I-I uh don't know what to say."
Phil held Page in front of her face. "Don't say anything." He kissed her forehead. "Let's just go outside."
She groaned. "Things cannot get anymore complicated right now." She said holding Page safely on her hip as Phil held open the slider door for her. She walked down the stairs to the pool area when arguing voices filled her ears.
"It's nothing against you. I just don't want to loose my best friend." Via said facing Hillary.
"Look, I'm sorry I'm Page and Madison's nanny, but I'm not going to stop for the sake of your friendship." Via handed Christopher over to Owen.
"I'm not asking you to stop doing anything, just why do you have to be around even when you're not working?" She asked angrily.
"I work here. I make money to pay my rent by watching Keely's children while she and Phil are at work. I'm here today because I didn't have anything else to do so I asked if I could come over and hang out." Mandy moved closer to Keely, Page and Phil.
"I'm sick and tired of calling over here to talk to Keely and having you answer the phone." Via confessed.
"Would you like me to ask Keely to quit her job so she can answer the phone when you call?" Hillary said harshly.
"Don't you have any other friends you could hang out with when you're not working?" Via crossed her arms. Both girls hadn't noticed that Keely and Phil were standing right behind them.
"You can't answer a question with a question!" Hillary said with a snobby tone. "Besides I just moved her from Connecticut to be closer with my sister who works with Keely. I don't really have any friends yet."
"I'm sorry that I'm coming across a little bit jealous but…"
Hillary interrupted. "You should be!"
"Shut the fuck up!" Keely screamed making Page cry. Keely kissed the baby and bounced her in her arms. Via and Hillary looked shocked. "I'm gunna go call my son." She walked angrily up the stairs leaving Hillary standing there pondering. "she has a fucking son?"
"She's going to what!?" Mandy asked blankly, thinking she miss read what her daughter had just said.
"You heard her correctly." Phil said half smiling. He walked up the stairs after her and soon everyone else was following. Mandy took Madison from Hillary.
"Don't worry, I've known Via forever." She looked behind her at Via and Owen gathering Christopher's things. "She'll get over it. She's a good kid."
"Alright, if you say so." She said right when Phil ran outside.
"I uh, need to talk to you." His said pulling Mandy aside, but smiled at Hillary. "Just what Keely said is going to happen, is going to happen, but everyone needs to leave and after all the drama that's happened to everyone today, can you help?"
Mandy shrugged. "Only if I can stay."
Phil bit his lip. "Alright, I guess so."
Mandy smiled like she won and turned towards everyone. "Alright guys time to go home. Keely will call you all and explain later." She said with her peppy voice.
"Hey, I could have done that." Phil said.
"Then why didn't you?" Phil shrugged and turned towards his guests.
"It's really complicated right now and I'll have Keely explain everything. Hillary we'll see you tomorrow and Via, Keely will call you tonight. Just hang tight and I really got to go." Via, Owen and Hillary all gave him the same blank look.
"Alright, then I guess we'll be going?" Via said unsurely, making her way back down the stairs with Owen behind her. She turned around to make sure that Hilary wasn't staying, but refrained from saying anything when she saw her fallowing close behind.
Phil gave a guilty dash inside with Mandy on his TRACKS.
Keely already had the phone in hand and was looking through Pickford Yellow pages. "I can't believe I am doing this!" She said nervously. The phone rang.
And rang.
"Hi, can you connect me to Parker Teslow's foster family?"
"What's your relation?" A lady asked.
"I'm his mother."
"Then he'll be very happy to hear from you. Hold on one moment." Keely looked into Phil's eyes.
"Are you sure this is how you want it done?" Phil asked.
"Now's as good a time as any and it's only three in the afternoon." She said looking at her watch. She looked at Phil. "You'll stay with me right?"
"Of course, and your mom will be here too." Phil grabbed the playpen and put Madison and Page inside. He sat down next to the two women and held his wife's hand. She heard the receiving ring and her life began to rewind slowly in order.

SURPRISE! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. I solved all my problems.
Flashback to June 2006.
"You're here; does that mean you're not leaving?" Keely asked standing behind the reporter's desk to look at her boyfriend.
"No, I'm still going. I just didn't want to leave with out saying goodbye for real." He said standing closer to her while pressing the pepper shaker into her back softly.
"Well, good…" Phil pulled her into their first kiss. Flames of electricity were imaginated by everyone watching this seen over the television set. The kiss was long and passionate and when they pulled away, Keely was speechless. "I uh, woah."
"Well I gotta go, my uh mom and dad are waiting back at the time machine." They paused and stared at the camera. He covered up his almost life threatening mistake by giving a lame excuse.
"So I guess this is it." He said after an awkward silence.
Keely pulled him into a fierce hug. "In the future, will you wait for me?" She whispered so only he could hear.
He smiled. "I would, but you would be really, really old!" He joked. She glared at him and he smiled his famous smile. "Kidding."
She lightly grabbed his arm. "See yah salt."
"See ya Pepper."
After the couple parted and Phil turned down the hall, Keely felt a sense of relief rush into her body. She was happy because she finally got the kiss she envisioned in her dreams, but it took until she walked in the hallway to make her so upset she had to run home and collapse onto her bed. Her mother gently knocked on the door.
"Sweetie, what happened?" She sat down on the side of her bed and rubbed her daughters back.
"Phil's gone mom and he's not coming back!" She cried. Mandy stepped away and gave her daughter the space she needed to recover.
After closing the door she quietly mumbled. "He's coming back, don't you worry."
Close to three hours later Mandy Teslow was reading on the couch in her living room when the door bell rang. She shut her copy of "The Member of the Wedding" and prayed that Keely hadn't woken up from her nap. She approached the door and carefully opened it.
Phil Diffy with all his glory stood there.
"Phil!" She threw her arms around him. "Did you come back for her?" She asked wearily.
He shook his head. "We uh, we forgot some boxes in the basement."
"Oh, well, please don't crush her heart more than you already have Phil!" She warned. "She's sleeping, but I don't think she would mind if you went up to see her."
"Alright, but I can assure you that I'm just as hurt as she is." Phil said upset.
Mandy smiled at him. "I know that, but she's not the one leaving Phil, you are."
Phil sighed and dashed up the stairs towards Keely's room. He pushed open the door and closed it silently behind him. He got down on his knees and put his face in front of Keely's sleeping one. He pressed his lips roughly against hers and waiting for her eyes to open. "Phil!" She said in disbelief. She threw her body against his and sobbed into his shoulder. The long yellow coat she was wearing this morning pulled against his face.
"Yeah Keel," He kissed her forehead.
"You're really here, for me?" She asked.
He sighed. "Kind of Keel, we forgot Curtis."
"Oh, so you're just here to say goodbye again." She pushed Phil away from her angrily.
"I'm sorry Keely, but we're not leaving until tomorrow morning, so I can spend the whole night with you." He smiled and she groaned.
"I don't know if I can take much more of this Phil." She went on. "My heart is breaking and this emotional roller coaster I'm on is going full speed. I can't take you leaving again. It's killing me!"
He sat on the bed next to her and kissed her cheek. "Come on." He pulled her to her feet and started pulling her towards the door.
"Where are we going?" She asked, not fighting him.
"It's a surprise." He said pulling her down the stairs. He had his hand on the door when Mandy came up behind him and grabbed his shoulder.
"Where are you two going?"
"Mom, I'm going with Phil. I'll be back tomorrow morning." Keely held onto Phil's hand tightly.
"Well, alright."
"Mom, I need you to trust me." She said calmly.
Mandy smiled. "I do, you two go out and enjoy each others company."
Phil yanked Keely out the door and into the side yard. He threw something out of his pocket and soon the Skyak had transformed in front of them. "Phil, the Skyak?"
He smiled. "I thought we could go to the Alps, like we were going to on your birthday?"
"Phil, but it's like 20 degrees in the Alps!" She gasped.
"I'll keep you warm." He said with a naughty look. She put a hand over her mouth and hopped on the back of the Skyak leaving Phil enough room to get on the front.
They were off into the night.
Phil realized how sexual frustrated he was becoming with Keely's chest pushing into his back with every breath she took when he accidentally lost control of the Skyak for a second. He laughed and Keely noticed the affect she was having on him. She put her hand on his upper thigh and Phil had to take a deep breath to recover.
Many things happened that night.
Some of which they'd never regret.
They eventually ended up spending the night at a hotel and lodge up in the mountains. Phil kept her more than warm.
Three weeks later Keely was still tucked away in confinement. She barely left the room. Her mother agreed to let her stay home school for the last few weeks of the school year. Next year she would go on to her senior year alone.
Her bed had become her own personal living area. She slept most of the time and her tutor came by everyday at eleven. He gave her the work and watched her as she took tests. She put all of her effort into her studying.
Her journalist carrier was a thing of the past. She was clueless to her future. She always thought that Phil would be a part of her life. Now she was just confused,
She rolled over and looked at the clock.
4:30pm.
The salt shaker was placed next to the clock and she felt tears well up in her eyes. A knock on the door brought her face up. Her mother looked at her with an upsetting look.
"Keely, not again." She sat on the bed and kissed the top of her daughter's head. "You need to get over this. Everything's going to be okay only if you're wiling to let it be okay."
"Mom, but it can't be okay because Phil's not here."
Mandy shook her head. There was nothing she could do for her. "Hunny, I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?" She handed her daughter a list. "Mark it down. I'll be right back."
She left the room and Keely glanced at the list.
Milk.
Eggs.
Tampons.
Keely's heart stopped.
"Mom!" Keely shot off the bed and ran to the hallway. Her mother stopped short.
"Do you want to come?"
Keely shook her head. "No, mom! I'm… I'm late."
"Late for what? I didn't know you were one to have plans lately."
Keely bit her lip. "No, I'm LATE." She moved her hands slowly.
Mandy's mouth dropped. "Have you, you know, with, uh, Phil?"
Keely's face turned red. "Uh, Yeah."
"How late are you?"
Keely thought for a moment. The last time she had her period had been a week before Phil left. "Two weeks."
"Wow!" Mandy leaned against the wall.
"I'll go get you one of those tests while I'm out. You, you just sit."
XxxX
Positive Test.
XxxX
Close to seven months later Keely had gotten over the embarrassment of going to school everyday with a hundred pound beach ball strapped to her stomach. Everyone had pretty much gotten over talking about it.
She was about ¼ of the way through her senior year. She had given in and started working towards her carrier in journalism.
November the 4th had started like every other.
Wake up, Puke, shower, breakfast, school.
She walked into the broadcasting lab, hormones ragging because the dip shit driving the car in front of her this morning was driving five miles and hour.
"Hey Keel," Her best friend Via bound up to her. "Bad morning?"
"For me!" She exasperated. "Okay, where are my papers?" Via handed her a stack. She had an abnormally large grin on her face.
"There's good news in there today!" Via beamed.
Keely shrugged and sat down in the chair behind the desk. She watched Via run out of the room. She looked back at Owen, one of her best friends, and camera man. He began to count down and she smiled.
Five.
Four.
Three.
Two.
One.
"Hi this is Keely Teslow, I'm Keely Teslow." She smiled and looked down at the announcements.
"The astronauts are playing the Handsome Town trolls today. Good luck astronauts."
"The food services are collecting cans for homeless families starting next Monday so bring in cans."
"Mr. Welled is looking for new members to join the Science team."
"Keely, look up." Keely blinked and looked away from the paper and the camera. She first looked at Via who was giving her a grin. Keely glared at her until her eyes fell on an old face.
"Phil!" She whispered under her breath. She looked back at the camera. "The End." Owen turned of the camera and Keely stayed in her seat. He eyes fell on Phil again.
"I'm not leaving you." He said taking slow steps toward her. Owen, Via and the rest of the Crew left the broadcasting room.
She put a hand up to her mouth and closed her eyes. Tears fell and she placed a hand on her abnormally large stomach. "You don't know." She whispered.
Phil took her chin and tipped in up. "What don't I know?"
She stood up and winced when Phil's hand pulled away. "He's yours, well, not really. I signed him up for adoption when I didn't know what to do because I was alone and I can't take care of him by myself and my mom offered to help, but I didn't want her to have to."
Phil put a hand over her mouth. "I'm sorry. I love you and I'm NEVER leaving."
"Uh hello… if there's no one there then I'm hanging up."
Keely blinked. "What, no I'm here. Um, can I please talk to Parker?"
"This is him… Who is this?"
