Peter and Kelly sat outside the studios in their car. Nervous. This was it. They were about to tell everyone that they committed adultery, broke up shortly before ruining a wedding and now lived together. Peter reached over and clasped Kelly's hand when he heard her draw a sharp breath.
"Baby, it will be fine." He said.
"Yeah? Then why do you sound like you are trying to convince yourself as much as me?"
"You're right. It'll be horrible, they will all hate us and we shall have to flee the country" he joked.
Kelly just laughed. He always brought humour to a tense situation. It was one of the countless things she loved about him.
"Seriously though." He turned to face her, "As long as we have each other, what other people think doesn't matter. Those people in there are some of our closest friends and okay, they maybe won't agree with what we did, but if they, like Melinda see the love and happiness that exists between us, they will share that happiness with us."
Kelly squeezed his hand tighter and smiled at him convinced. "I know" she whispered before her lips pressed against his lovingly. Their kiss was soft and sensual, filled with companionship and comfort.
"Come on, it's now or never. Let's get it over with."
"AH! Kel! Let me see your..." a look of pure confusion spread over Rachel's soft features as she looked at Kelly's hand, "ring" she finished.
Kelly pulled her left hand from Rachel's grasp and covered her bare ring finger with her other hand.
"Where is it?" Rachel asked confused.
Kelly looked helplessly at Peter, who of course offered a smile of reassurance.
"Okay is everyone here?" Peter asked above the noise.
"Hey I'm the one that's supposed to say that!" Josh complained.
"Well you can say it after. Please is everyone here, something important needs to be discussed."
"Yeah everyone's here Peter." Melinda offered her support.
The cast and crew all sat down in various places looking as Kelly and Peter stood before them.
"Okay" Peter said suddenly nervous again. "So we are talking to you about this just now, before the tabloids or whatever get hold of it, and you find out anyway."
"What? What is it?" An impatient Rachel asked.
"I didn't marry David." Kelly had a new found confidence, these were her friends, if she couldn't tell them she couldn't tell anybody and Peter was right, regardless of the outcome, as long as they had each other everything would be okay.
"What? Why?" It was Ben who spoke this time.
"Because he was a jerk." Melinda said under her voice.
"I...ummm...wasn't happy and I fell in love with somebody else." She answered honestly.
"WHO?" Rachel's face was a picture of amazement.
Kelly looked across watching as Peter started towards her. On his approach he wrapped his arms around her and simply answered "me".
They stood there nervously. Peter stroking her back. What was everyone thinking? The silence was unbearable mixed with the range of expressions. Shock, surprise, confusion, motionless, Josh's however seemed to hold hope and relief. The only person sitting there casually was Melinda.
"You knew!" Rachel blurted out when she took in Melinda's expression.
"Of course, I was at the wedding." She said as if it was a daft question.
"Wait. There was a wedding? Adam asked still portraying his confusion.
"Yeah Peter crashed it." Melinda said a little more excitedly.
Gasps of shock echoed through the air convincing Kelly that this wasn't going smoothly. She lifted a hand and buried her head into it.
"It's okay" she heard Peter whisper in her ear.
"Peter's married!" Ben stated bluntly.
"Not any more" Peter spoke quietly. "Well it's not finalised, but I left Paula."
"Okay guys" Josh calmed all the commotion. "You two" he motioned to Kelly and Peter, "sit. We need to hear the whole story."
"All of it?" Kelly asked as Peter pulled her gently down by his side.
"Yes. Start with the first time you two...first...you know"
"But why?" Kelly still protested.
"Because the press is a very devious creature and if we hear the truth from your own mouths just now, we can make peace with it and ignore the papers, and we will know what to believe. Know the truth."
"Alright." Kelly sighed looking to Peter for support as he nodded his head gently and prompted her to start.
"Remember the day I told you that David was coming to town to see me?" She began, waiting for nods of confirmation before continuing. "Well as you know he didn't show, and I came in here and you guys had a party set up for us, well I put a brave face on and lied to you. His jet was fine; he just didn't want to come." She looked down showing her hurt from the past.
"Why?" Rachel asked.
"It doesn't matter" She answered softly, "please just let me get this story out then you can ask questions. It's hard enough."
Peter took her hand in his, running his thumb over the back of it soothingly.
"Okay so anyway" she let out a breath. "Peter noticed I was upset and I told him how I was feeling and we talked it out, not that that's really relevant apart from it made us closer."
Rachel was about to interrupt again but she stopped herself.
"Anyway, when I got home David was there. He was all dressed up and I stupidly thought he was here to see me and take me out. He wasn't. He just needed a babysitter Well as the night progressed I was becoming more and more frustrated and upset because I couldn't get the baby to stop crying, so i called Peter thinking he had experience with kids and he was easy to talk to."
Kelly stopped there knowing they could all read the pain in her eyes and the hurt in her voice. She searched Peter's eyes with her own, silently begging him to continue for her.
"When i got to Kelly's she was upset and needed comfort. We finally for the baby to stop crying and we chatted, again making us closer. When the baby went to bed Kelly was crying and we ended up kissing then one thing led to another..."
He stopped there and smiling at Kelly as she smiled at the memory, before he leaned over and placed a kiss on her cheek.
"So we, i guess, had an affair for a while, then I went to Canada under David's command." She continued "while I there he surprised me saying her had a date for the wedding and it was really close. I panicked and I remember being scared because I knew I had actually fallen in love with Peter, I had loved him for a long time."
"I had completely fallen for Kelly too and it broke my heart when she phoned and told me. Anyways Kelly got back and we had a huge argument because I was too scared and stupid to leave my family and admit what I really truly wanted. We broke up and I guess tried to carry on life as normal."
Everyone sat listening contently. It was a bizarre atmosphere and hard to read the expressions on their faces. Peter couldn't tell if that was a positive or negative sign. Nevertheless he continued.
"By the time I realised how stupid i had been it was too late and I nearly lost her forever. I flew to Canada after her and stopped the wedding. That's pretty much it."
Everyone still sat silently processing this mass of information. Melinda hadn't even heard the whole story before.
"Wait. How did you stop the wedding?" Adam asked intrigued.
"Umm...well..." he looked embarrassed.
"He burst through the doors asking if he was too late, then claimed his love for me on front of everyone, including David." Kelly giggled as she stroked his cheek affectionately. "My hero" she whispered so only he heard.
Peter smiled sweetly at her words.
"David went totally mental!" Melinda jumped in getting looked at by everyone. "What? This is the part of the story that I know!" she defended. Everyone laughed. "So anyway, David was yelling and calling Kelly names, insulting her, it was revolting, but Prince Peter jumped in and defended her, he actually almost punched David until he cowered away." Melinda paused to catch a breath.
"God, what a jerk!" Rachel shouted.
"That's what I said."
"Well you can't blame him for being mad." Kelly said. "I did cheat on him."
"And I hope you don't feel bad about it Kel." Melinda said "he said it himself on front of the whole church, he was just using you, all he cared about was how he looked work wise and now he didn't have someone to baby-sit his son."
"He said that?" Ben said alarmed.
"Not in those exact words." Kelly answered shyly.
"Look Kel. Stop beating yourself up about it. Nobody blames you. Or Peter" she quickly added when his face changed. "My point is the outcome is all that matters and you two are so in love and so happy. So we are happy for you."
"Really!"
"YES!" everyone almost said together.
"Group hug!" Rachel requested as she motioned for everyone to come together.
Laughing they all crawled together and hugged. When they pulled apart everyone watched as Peter kissed Kelly softly, his bigger lips covering hers as they shared relief.
"I hope you guys aren't gonna be having PDAs every two seconds now." Adam joked.
"Wow the Seth is really coming out in you" they laughed.
-
2 weeks later...
"I can't believe Josh actually went with giving us time off" Kelly smiled as her and Peter strolled through central park hand in hand.
"I know. It was very nice of him. It will be good though, you know to get away while the press publish stories about us." He kissed her head as they walked.
"Yeah 'cause they don't have newspapers in New York" she replied sarcastically.
Peter stopped them walking, and turned her to face him.
"We are gonna be fine. Everyone that it matters to knows the real story. Stop worrying."
Kelly smiled at him as she stepped forward to receive a cuddle.
"I love you" she whispered.
"I love you too baby."
They looked into each other's eyes for a moment, enjoying the atmosphere, the change in scenery. Peter leaned forward taking her lips in his. His tongue massaged her bottom lip until she gave him entrance. The kiss was slow and delicate, but immensely passionate. It was almost as if they should have a sign pointing at them saying "the perfect couple."
When they broke apart they weren't that surprised to see four cameras sticking out of a nearby bush, with eight eyes behind them. Paparazzi.
"Come on. You wanna go for dinner?" He asked her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.
"Actually I was thinking we could order in."
"Really?" He said in a sexy tone.
Kelly knew he had immediately picked up on what she meant so she decided to wind him up a little.
"Yeah because if we don't the photographers will just follow us all night." She tried not to laugh as she said it.
"What! That's your reason?"
"Well yeah. What other reason is there?"
Peter was silent for a moment, shocked that she wasn't picking up on what he meant. He turned round to look at her and speak when he saw her almost doubled over in laughter.
"Oh that was so not funny!" he said in disbelief.
"It kinda was. The look on your face was priceless."
"I'm gonna get you for that."
"No you're not."
"Yes I am." He insisted.
"Well..." she said as she stopped walking and took a step on front of him. You'll have to..." she took another step away from him, "...catch me first." She said as she turned and fled over a really large patch of grass.
"OH I'm so gonna get you!" he shouted after her as he began to run after her.
Kelly squealed playfully when he eventually caught her. Peter grabbed her and tackled her playfully as they both landed on the soft green texture. Peter rolled on top of Kelly and pressed his lips firmly onto hers. Not pulling away until passers-by whistled jokingly at them. Peter just giggled as he pulled them both into a sitting position.
"You know baby you are surprisingly fast."
"Really" she raised her eyebrows. "You think?"
"Yeah"
"It's not all I'm fast at" she tempted.
Peter's eyebrows shot up as he looked at her mischievously.
"Well, maybe you can demonstrate this great pace, in the empty bed, in the empty apartment that's waiting for us."
"Maybe I will." She giggled as he helped her to her feet and they made their way back to the footpath.
Peter pinned Kelly against the wall of the hall as he kissed her desperately. His hands wondering up and down her sides after they removed her jacket. He was already bare chested, like Kelly said, she had good pace at a few things. She ran her hands over his muscled chest as she moaned into his mouth. Peter's hands found the bottom of her top and waited until she lifted her arms and allowed him to lift it up over her head. He did this task deliberately slowly so he could savour the sight of her lace clad breasts. Their lips met hungrily again as their tongues meshed together. Peter smiled as Kelly tangled her fingers through his hair, it meant he was getting to her, making her aroused. Kelly could feel herself wet already, she wanted him so bad, and by the feel of his groin colliding with hers he wanted her too.
"Peter, bedroom" she managed to breathe out
He obliged, however kept kissing her. As their tongues twisted together he began to walk backwards along the corridor taking her with him. They almost fell as they stumbled over the slight step at the door, Peter's hands continued to wander round her body until finally he managed to lay her on the bed. He undid her jeans and threw them away before he removed his own and climbed slowly on top of her. Their groins clashed through the light fabric of their underwear as the kissed again. Peter slipped his tongue into her mouth as he began to softly stroke her tongue with his, Kelly moaned out as she lost her fingers in his mop of black hair. It felt so good. He began to move above her, his hips rotating as his bulge pleasured her in a new way. Kelly moaned out loud as he aroused her more, lifting her hips so she could fell him as much as possible. Moving her hands up and down his back she felt his muscles tense around her fingers as he released a raspy breath.
Peter's hand found her breast as he undid her bra and moved his mouth down to kiss them, mouth giving one equal pleasure to his hand on the other. Kelly's back arched into him as she wrapped her legs around his middle pulling him down further, longing to feel him. Kelly was going crazy with each rub he gave her as she completely lost control of her breathing. Peter found her lips again while her hands tackled his boxers until she finally freed him. Her fingers took hold of him as she made him moan the best way she knew how. As he back arched once more when his fingers trailed further down her, her bare chest against his was too much for him to handle. Moving her hand away from him he removed her panties before opening her legs and getting her ready for him. He plunged into her allowing a trapped moan to escape them both. He was about to start moving within her until she stopped him.
"Wait" she spoke breathlessly, "I can't prove my pace to you if I'm on the bottom." She said with a hit of mischief in her eyes.
Laughing as she flipped them over Peter allowed her to take control. She began to move above him quickening her pace with every thrust. His hips assisted her as he watched her rosy cheeks and her eyes fluttering closed. She was so beautiful. It didn't long until they came together, simultaneously screaming their lover's name. Kelly collapsed on top of him. Her head on his chest listening to the strong beat of his heart.
"You know, I think I'm beginning like New York" she giggled as he kissed her head.
All dinner plans forgotten they crawled into bed together cuddling close until they fell asleep soundly. Both could get use to this. Everything they had gone through good and bad, of this was the outcome of their life neither was complaining. Peter and Kelly had eventually found what they had always been searching for...true love.
Kelly was the first of them to waken the next morning, with a quick sprint to the bathroom she found herself kneeling on front of the toilet throwing up. She didn't understand, it wasn't like she had eaten dinner last night to make her sick. She had felt nauseas and weak not to mention shattered for the past good few weeks. Kelly began to fear that she had mistaken it for nothing when it was actually something. Feeling ill at the wedding, even before that, in the hotel when she had been sick when Melinda was there, a few mornings in the past couple weeks and now this morning. She fixed herself a glass of water as she stared out of the kitchen window onto the busy street. Thoughts mixed and tumbled around her head as she searched for the answer, the only logical one she could think of was...pregnant.
No. She couldn't be. Could she? She was on the pill, although she did go through a period of time where she didn't take it. But still then it's not one hundred percent effective. She buried her head in her hands as she sighed heavily. What if she was and didn't know about it? No you can't be her head kept telling her. In truth Kelly never had the intention of becoming a mum. Oh God! No kel, don't jump to conclusions, nothing is positive, take a test and then you will know...yes that's it...a test..."
"Morning baby" she jumped out of her thought train as Peter greeted her with his arms around her waist.
She smiled slightly at him as she tilted her head and allowed him a kiss, which he gladly accepted. Should she tell him? No. It would be best to find out if you are...you know...preg...oh God...before you tell him anything. Only problem was how was she supposed to get a test and take it without him knowing?
"Wanna do some sightseeing today?" he asked her breaking the silence.
"Umm, sure, what did you have in mind?"
"How about walk to the empire state building, lunch, some shopping?"
He got no response.
"Kelly?"
"Uh? What? Oh right, yeah sounds great. Let me go get ready." And with that she walked away.
They sat at lunch having just toured some of the sights of New York. Kelly was amazed the places they visited were beautiful. Peter sat opposite her, their hands clasped over the table as he watched her. She looked so good, the wind blowing her hair into her face slightly but she refused to separate her hands from his to move it. He smiled at her as their eyes met.
"You okay?" he asked after a moment. "You're very quiet."
Kelly smiled at his sweetness, "yeah I'm good, just tired you know, a wonderfully handsome and loving man tired me out last night." She giggled.
Peter giggled with her for a moment. "Well he's the luckiest and happiest man in the world to have you."
Kelly squeezed his hands as he spoke before leaning right over the table to give him a long kiss. They really did have the perfect relationship. When they left lunch they strolled along the park just chatting and laughing as they made their way to the shops. They sat on the grass for a while watching the world go by, this really was a relaxing holiday.
"I'm really glad you suggested this" Kelly smiled as she leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know me too. I'm having the best time ever."
Kelly's mind drifted back to the thoughts she had had that morning as she watched a couple walking through the park with their baby. What if she was pregnant, what would she do? Would she even manage to be a mum? She had too many thoughts invading her head that she didn't notice Peter sneak off and hide from her. When she snapped back to reality she stood up and searched around for him, it wasn't until he peeked round from behind the tree that she saw him. Sneaking up behind him she stood with her hands on her hips displaying and un amused look as she exposed him.
"I supposed you think it's funny to sneak of and hide from me." She said trying to keep the grin from her face.
Peter turned around to face her now realising he was found. A cheeky smile crept along his face as he lifted her up and spun her around in a circle causing her to let out a delighted giggle as she hugged her flying body tight to his. When he stopped spinning her around she smiled and ran her hands through his hair before their lips met for a few short, light kisses before passion overtook them.
"How about we leave shopping and go back to the apartment?" Peter said suggestively as he kissed her lips a few more times and placed her feet back on the ground.
Kelly pondered it for a moment. "Okay. But you have to promise to take me shopping tomorrow"
"Deal." He said as he took her hand and led her out the park just like he had the day before.
They were almost back at the apartment when something caught Kelly's eye, a pharmacy. Making her excuses she told him to go on and she would join him in a minute. Checking to make sure nobody was around or no men with cameras were about to jump out on her she quickly got what she needed and went back to join Peter.
Barely making it in the bedroom door before he grabbed her and started kissing Kelly pushed her thoughts out of her mind, blocking them for the next hour or so. They stripped each other quickly before making love twice over, in two same, but different ways. As she lay wrapped up in his arms afterwards he placed light kisses on her head and in the silence her thoughts came back and began to haunt her once more.
A baby would ruin this, she thought to herself, would restrict and limit us. I don't want things to change she told herself, they are perfect the way they are right now. But then again, maybe it would strengthen us, we would be a family. I could make a good mother. Oh snap out of it Kelly!!! Her conscience scolded her, you don't even know if you are.
Glancing up at a sleeping Peter she quietly slipped out of his grasp as she retrieved her bag and locked the bathroom door behind her. She slowly pulled out the test as she sat herself down on the toilet reading the box.
"A cross means it's positive, a line means negative." She whispered as she read.
It took her almost ten minutes to muster up enough courage to open it up. After taking the test she sat on the floor waiting for the result, her stomach churning and her head spinning. Her mind all over the place.
Cross, positive, line negative, she thought, or was it the other way around? Was the line positive and the cross negative, like cross meaning no or was it a cross like a plus sign that would mean positive. Oh God, what was it? Scrambling for the box she read it again. Cross is positive, line is negative. God it was so confusing.
"Two minutes must be up" she said almost frustrated as she lifted the test off the side of the sink.
Sinking back to the floor she inhaled a deep breath letting it out slowly before turning it over to look at the result. She sat there the answer she had been searching for staring her in the face as she let out a gasp.
What did that one mean again?
