Authors Note: Okay seriously trying to write this chapter was one of the hardest things I have had to do... not because the content was hard to write, but because I was stading in front of my work computer writing it while watching my managers Nick and Ryan try and decorate the Christmas tree... it is soooooo funny!!!! They honestly have no decorating skills what-so-ever...

The Beach Apartment October 31, 1998

Kelly was sitting at the counter in the kitchen writting another letter that she probably wouldn't send to Brandon... she seemed to be writting a lot of those and one of these days she would get around to sending them but today wasn't that day. David was cleaning out the fridge while Donna was preparing the candy bowls for the trick or treaters that would be coming by later. She was also sorting out the decorations they would be setting up at the After Dark in a few hours. Things were going great... Kelly had finally gotten pass the morning sickness stage... that had really been all day sickness... but that was all over now, and everything had seemed to fall into place. Kelly was lost in thought when Donna spoke up...

"Hey Kel, can you pass me the bag of candy sitting right there?" Donna asked. "Kel?" she asked again.

"Oh... Sorry... here you go!" Kelly said handing the bag over.

"Writting another letter, sis?" David asked walking over to the counter holding a container of something that had taken on a life of its own in the back of the fridge.

"Yeah... Eww... What the Hell is that!?!" Kelly was staring at the container in his hand.

"I think it may have been either spagetti or lasagna at one point!" David offered.

"Hey Donna, when did we make lasagna?" Kelly asked because she couldn't remember.

"Three weeks ago, I think, why?... Oh my God what is that? Its green and has some sort of fuzz on it..." She said looking through the container at it.

"That would be the lasagna you made three weeks ago... doesn't it look yummy!" Kelly teased as she had a look of peer disgust plastered all over her face.

"Throw that out David... It smells like something died..." She continued as David opened the container and then just desided to throw the whole container in the trash.

"So what are you two doing tonight?" Kelly asked as she closed her notebook.

"Just hanging out at the After Dark... you should really come with us!" Donna said getting the airfreshner out from under the sink and spraying the room.

"Then who would pass out candy to the trick-or-treaters?" Kelly replied not really wanting to go anywhere.

"We can just put the candy on the deck with a note like we did last year..." She really wanted Kelly to come with them.

"Oh Donna if she doesn't want to come she doesn't have too..." David said as he smiled at Kelly.

"Thanks... I just don't feel like going out tonight..." Kelly replied playing with the cover of her notebook.

Truth be told she just didn't want to be around Steve right now... he had been nothing but a pest lately... always concerned about her and the baby. It was beginning to drive her up the wall, but she couldn't get him to stop. The rest of the gang was also getting on her nerves... especially the constant need to touch her stomach... yes, there was a round bump there, but did everyone she met have to rub it? David was watching Kelly and her face said it all...

"Donna I think we should just tell everyone she dosen't feel well." David began.

"Okay, you sure you'll be okay here... because I can stay if you want me to..." Donna said wanting to change her friend's mind.

"I'll be fine... I can always call if I need anything... I have the number on speed dial..." Kelly said trying to convice Donna that she wasn't a baby and could take care of herself.

Donna just nodded as David finished cleaning out the fridge and began to organize the decorations that they would be taking over to the After Dark in about an hour. Donna decided to leave Kelly alone and soon was helping David carry them out to his car. Kelly opened her notebook and began another letter...

"Dear Brandon, I can't take this much longer... Donna thinks I am going to break! I swear... she is always asking if I am going to be okay and it is driving me up the wall. David is great! He always knows what to say and can tell when I need to be alone... and you're buddy Steve, seems to have a problem with touching my stomach! I'm sorry if I sound like I am complaining but I can't help it... it's how I feel right now, and you were always telling me that you want to know how I feel so I am telling you. Please come home, and stop the crazy people I call my friends!" Man I sound like I need to be instatutionalized! Kelly thought to herself as she reread the letter to herself as David and Donna walked back in for the last load.

"Okay we are off to decorate the club!" David said as they grabbed the last of the decorations.

"Have fun!" Kelly called from the kitchen.

Kelly waited until she heard the front door shut before she went into the living room to lay on the couch for awhile. After the morning she had just had she deserved it. However, a few minutes after she sat down she fell asleep and she began to dream about how her life had changed over the years.

Within minutes she was five years old and sitting on her father's lap as he read her Sleeping Beauty, her favorite. It was one of the rare times in her childhood that she saw her father and she loved it. He was even changing his voice as he read each charater. She was laughing as she looked up into his eyes... he hugged her tighter then as if he would never let her go.

Then the scene chaged and she was ten... her father was gone and her mother was drawing a hop scotch board on the driveway with some white chalk. Kelly was smiling and happily waiting to play the game with her. It was one of the happiest days of her life because her mother was there and not working like she had been so many other days that year... that day was special... she had taken it off just to spend time with Kelly.

The scene changed again to when she was twelve and it was Christmas morning... she remembered that day well. The night before she had left a note for Santa (otherwise known as her uncle) to bring her father home for Christmas. That morning as she walked down the steps she realized that her father wasn't there... her mother wasn't even home... there were no gifts under the tree and no food in the fridge... just a note saying 'Went to Vegas be home tomorrow...' Kelly closed the fridge and grabbed the phone and called Donna... the only one she knew she could count on to invite her over.

She was now seventeen and standing in the middle of the hallway staring at none other than Brandon Walsh... her best friend's twin brother. A girlish smile plastered all over her face... she would have followed him to his next class if her biology teacher hadn't blocked her... telling her to get to class.

It was her College Graduation and she was standing on that stage looking out into the crowd and watching for the one person that made her heart skip a beat whenever she saw him. He was nowhere to be seen... until she was handed her diploma and then as she saw him running up the aisle a small smile crept across her lips as she walked off the stage.

Then it was the day Brandon asked her to marry him... the second time. She accepted happily and hugged him as everyone else just walked past them. At that moment they were the only people in the world and they couldn't be happier... that soon changed as she found herself standing in front of the church holding his hand as they told family and friends that they would not be getting married that day.

It was then that the doorbell rang and Kelly nearly fell off the couch... who could that be? she asked herself as she went to answer the door. Of course she remembered what day it was and as she opened the door she smiled as she saw a few of the neighbor girls dressed up as a witch, a princess, and a ghost.

"Trick-or-treat!" They all but yelled in unison.

"Wow, don't you three look great..." Kelly said as she passed out a handful of candy to each of them.

"Thank you..." The princess said as they went on their way.

"You're welcome..." Kelly said quietly as she placed her hand on her belly and smiled as the baby kicked.
