Jackson's POV:
I looked over at Kim with total disbelief. She had, changed. She sure didn't seem like the Kim I knew. In high school, Kim was the rebel. She was a year older than me because she had to repeat her sophmore year after being suspended for half the year because she was caught having sex in the principals office on a Saturday night after breaking into the school. But, that was just kinda her. She never listened no matter what you told her. She smoked and was often out on Friday nights getting drunk at some party. My dad hated her. Miley said if I stayed with her I would become a drug dealer and then she got pregnant...
"JACKSON!" I heard Miley call from downstairs.
"WHAT?" I yelled back not bothering to look up from my homework that sat in front of me.
"KIM'S HERE!" I heard Miley yell back. I threw my pencil down on the desk and got up. I was surprised Kim didn't just come up to my room like she normally does. But, I walked downstairs to see Miley laying on the couch watching TV, with Kim no where in sight.
"I thought you said Kim was here," I said grouchily.
"She's outside," Miley said as she stuffed a handful of chips into her mouth.
"Why?" I asked as I walked over to the door. I didn't give Miley a chance to answer that question because in a matter of seconds I was outside seeing a very anxious looking Kim pacing the front porch.
"What's up?" I asked her. She held a cigarette in one hand and a starbucks coffee in the other.
"Dammit Jackson, Dammit, Dammit Dammit!" She said loudly, not looking at me as she still paced the porch.
"What?" I asked her confused.
"Do you remember Brett's party?" she asked me referring to a party we had gone to a little over a month ago.
"Uh, ya, kinda, why?" I said.
"Well you remember we had sex?" Kim said, I was a bit surprised she said that, I mean. I knew we had but... why bring it up now, I mean we had messed around before that.
"Ya..." I said, my eyebrows raised, wondering where she was taking this.
"You didn't use protection did you?" She said as she finally stopped pacing to look at me.
"No, wait, I thought you said you were on that birth control stuff," I said, now a bit worried.
"Not then," She said angrily as she moved closer to me.
"Jackson, my fucking period is late," she said. I felt myself go light headed for a second. No, it couldn't be possible, I mean there's no way in the world she could be... you know.
And that night was the night I learned that I was going to be a father. Kim and I talked for hours about what we wanted to do. Abortion did cross out minds, but Kim stayed pretty loyal to her beliefs. We discussed adoption but we had finally come to the decision that we would keep the baby and then maybe, possibly, get married once we graduated. But then, all those plans came crashing down when she told three weeks later, that she had gotten an abortion.
My dad did eventually find out, but that was after this whole ordeal was over with. About a week later I learned from one of Kim's friends that Kim had dropped out of school. And I had never see her since. That was until today, and then here she stood in front of me. And this sure as hell wasn't the same Kim that I knew.
"I thought it might have been you," She said as I smile crossed her lips.
"Ya..." I said awkwardly.
"How have you been?" she asked. God, her voice had even changed.
"Fine," I shrugged.
"Oh, good," Kim said. I could tell how awkward this must have been for her as well.
"Hi Mr. Stewart," She said as she peered around me to my dad.
"Hello, Kim," my dad said in a mono-toned voice. Obviously, not to happy to see her. An awkward silence fell over us before Kim glanced down at her watch and broke the quiet.
"You know, I have a little bit of time before I need to get back to work if you want to grab a table and talk a bit," she said looking up at me.
"You work here?" I asked.
"Ya, front desk in the walk-in clinic, tons of fun" she said sarcastically. I gave her a smile and then nodded.
"Sure, that sounds good," I told her.
"Okay, great," She said before we walked off. Once she had gotten her food, we settled into a small table near the front of the cafeteria.
"Of all the places in the world to run into each other we had to meet in the cafeteria of a Hospital," she said as she poured some dressing on top of the salad she was eating.
"Ya, who would've thought," I said. She let out a slight laugh before taking a bite of her salad.
"So why are you here? Everything alright with Miley?" she asked. God, two years ago she despised Miley, now she's acting all concerned about her? I thought it would be nearly impossible for anyone like her to change this drastically in the matter of two years.
"Oh yea, Miley's fine my..." I was about to say my girlfriend but I stopped myself. Lily wasn't my girlfriend. What was she to me anyways? The love of my life? I sighed and kept on talking
"Miley's friend is pregnant and we thought she may have been going into pre-mature labor," I said simply.
"Oh. Is she okay?" she asked. I nodded.
"Ya, just cramping or something like that," I said.
"Oh, well, that's good." She said.
"Ya..." I said as my mind drifted off. I still couldn't believe she was sitting in front of me. I mean the girl I could have sworn I would marry is here right as I'm falling in love with another girl, this is great. Just Perfect.
"So..." she said after a moment of silence had fallen over us yet again.
"God, you sure have changed," I said awkwardly and then suddenly regretting it. She laughed and then looked down.
"Ya... I get that from a lot of people, believe it or not there's actually tons of people from high school that I've run into here," she said.
"Like who?" I asked, finally we had gotten a conversation going.
"Like..." she paused for a second and chewed her bottom lip as if she was thinking.
"Oh I know, just last week Nate Sheldon wondered in here after he ripped his nose ring out," She said laughing.
"Nate Sheldon? You mean the guy who always wore the bow ties?" I asked her.
"Ya... that's the one," she said laughing and nodding.
"Holy crap," I said as I leaned back in my chair.
"Yea, he said I looked shorter," she said smiling. So I wasn't the only one who thought she looked shorter? Okay, good, now I don't feel so insane.
"I told him it's probably the weight I put on from the pregnancy..." her voice trailed off as the smile suddenly faded off her face. The Pregnancy? Had she gotten pregnant sine I had seen her last.
"What?" I asked her as I leaned forward in my chair.
"No... nothing I'm just," she stuttered as she reached for her tray and began to stand up.
"You know I should probably be getting back to work..." she said worriedly as she began to head to the trash cans to throw away the rest of her salad.
"Wait," She froze when I said that and then turned to look at me.
"Kim, what pregnancy?" I asked her. She looked from me, to the floor and then back up at me again. She took a deep breath and then slowly walked back over to the table where she set her tray down and started fumbling around in her purse. I stayed silent as I watched her. She finally pulled out a small picture with her and a little baby boy sitting in the front yard holding what appeared to be a stuffed toy dog. I glanced up at her and then back down at the picture. I noticed a few tears that were beginning to emerge out of the corner of her eyes.
"Who's the baby you're holding?" I asked, I didn't quite understand what was going on, although, I probably should.
"His names Trayton," She said as took in another long breath of air.
"He's cute," I said as I began to hand the picture back to Kim. But she shook her head and then looked away from me and down at the table in front of her.
"Jackson..." She said as she chewed on her bottom lip nervously. "Trayton is your son,"
A/N: Yes, I know many of you saw it coming. lol. But anyways... I hope the flashback wasn't too weird I kinda wanted to give you a taste of what kind of person Kim had been before the baby. So, I hope you enjoyed and the next chapter should (hopefully) be up in the next few days.
Thank you guys for all the great reviews. I'm really hoping to hit the big 100 with this chapter, so please review and tell me what you think!
