Chapter 8 - Decisions

Kim's POV - 5 Months Pregnant - Monday

I decided not to know the sex of the baby and wait till the birth, and the weirdest thing happened a couple weeks ago, Lindsay apologised to me, I mean, after what she said I thought she was never gonna forgive let alone say sorry herself. Anyway, today is the day I start looking for someone to adopt the baby, The adoption agency my doctor put me in touch with gave me files of different people looking to adopt and I get to chose a few who I want to interview and see if I would be okay with them adopting the baby.

"So, what do you think?" Alicia asked me as I looked at some files.

"I like this couple, there called Everly & Malcolm Jakovlevs, there 28, been married for 5 years, and cant have any children of there own, they've been looking to adopt for the pass 4 years." I read and she nodded. "Hey Alicia, Can I speak to you about something?" I asked her cautiously.

"Um sure, yeah." She said sitting down next to me on the sofa and putting her drink on the coffee table. "Whats up?" She asked concerned.

"I was wondering whether or not to show these to Jack, so he can have a say in where his baby ends up, I mentioned it to dad and he said absolutely not, but I'm just wondering what you think?" I asked her and she sighed.

"Honestly I think you should go ith your gut, if your guts telling you to let Jack have a say, then let him." She said and I nodded.

Jack's POV

I was at home watching tv when the doorbell rang.

"Anybody gonna get that?" I exclaimed and no one answered, I walked over and opened the door and was surprised to see Kim stood there with folders in her hands.

"Um hi." She said a bit nervous.

"Hey, um, come in." I said and stepped aside for her to enter, she did and cautiously looked around, "Its just me, Shaun, Lorna, Amelia & Buster, not adults here." I said and she nodded visibly relieved, "So, have a seat." I said and she sat on the sofa trying to get comfortable with the obvious baby bump. "So, Whats up?" I asked her ot really knowing what to say.

"I started looking for people to adopt the baby, and I figured that you might want to, you know, help, so I narrowed down some on the list to these 4 families." She said putting the 4 folders on the coffee table. "I understand if you dont want to-" She started.

"No no no, I do." I sai cutting her of and she nodded.

"Well thats all I came here for." She said standing, "So-" She started cutting herself of and putting a hand on her stomach.

"You okay?" I asked and she winced, "Okay come on sit down." I said helping her sit down. "I'm gonna call an ambulance." I said panicking but she grabbed my hand an I kneeled infront of her.

"It fine you loon, It's just the baby started moving a few days ago and he or she seems to like kicking me in the ribs." She said sighing.

"Dare devil, like their parents then." I said and she chuckled whilst rolling her eyes and I smiled.

"Oh." She said shocked and moved my hand to her stomach, I looked at her confused for a moment until I felt movement under my hand and I raised an eyebrow. "Did you feel that?" She asked me.

"They just kicked, the baby kicked didn't they?" I asked and she nodded. "Has that happened before?" I asked and she shook her head.

"Nope, never happened before." She said and looked me in the eyes smiling and I smiled and reached up and put a piece of escaped hair behind her ear and she smiled more.

"Hi." A voice said behind me and I moved my hand and turned my head to see Buster stood there smiling,

"Bust, come here." I said and he walked over shyly and I grabbed his hand and put it on Kim's stomach and the baby kicked again and he giggled making me and Kim both laugh and I stood up and helped Kim up then picked up Buster he snuggled his head into my neck and Kim smiled.

"Anyway, just bring the folders back over when your done and tell me what you think, I might just go ahead and meet them all and see who I like best." She said and I nodded opening the front door for her.

"Bye bye Kimmy." Buster said waving his hand whilst smiling and she smiled and waved.

"Bye Buster." She said and walked out.

"I like her." Buster said looking up at me and I smiled.

Kim's POV

I walked into the cafe and up to the till here Gabriella was working whilst talking to Phoebe.

"Hi, can I get a um, wow this is hard, I miss coffee." I said and she chuckled. "You know what just give me a tango in a bottle and a chocolate chip muffin." I said taking money out of my pocket and she handed me the stuff.

"On the house." She said and I smiled thankfully putting the money away when the baby kicked me again in the ribs, and hard.

"Ow really?" I said looking at my stomach.

"Whats wrong?" Phoebe asked.

"Apparently the baby likes making its Mama feel pain because it keeps kicking me in the ribs and hard." I said sighing and she nodded.

"Oh I know its the worst, with Jack he used to kick me in the ribs all the time, expecially at night it seemed he knew when I was fast asleep and just kicked me in the ribs to annoy me." She said and I saw Gabriella frown a little but ignored it.

"Yeah, he/she normally only kicked me in the ribs but before it started kicking me on my stomach, if you get what I mean." I said getting myself confused and she nodded chuckling. "Anyway, I'll see you later." I said and turned around just as Lindsay walked in with a few girls from school, yes she may have apologised but she's still being mean to me.

"Oh look girls, its the 14yr old pregnant slut." Lindsay said to me and I sighed. "Wow seriously Kim, your already getting fat as you sure you want to eat that muffin, I mean you already look like an elephant." She said and the girls laughed. "Whats the matter, nothing to say?" She asked me cockily.

"Leave me alone Lindsay." I stated.

"If only you hadnt slept with the first guy who paid any intress in you." She stated glaring.

"Yeah, alright." Charity, Lindsay's distant cousin said standing up, also Debbie's mother. "Thats enough Linds." She stated.

"Whatever, come on girls, I'm sure there's somewhere else we can find to hang out, safer that way an all, atleast you know she wont be around to try it on with your boyfriends." Lindsay said and walked out with her friends and I sighed.

"You alright?" Charity asked me.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied and tried to discreetly wipe away a tear but failed. "Stupid hormornes." I chuckled, "All over the place." I stated and she smiled at me sympathetically. "I've gotta go." I said and walked home.

Jack's POV

I went to the dojo to clear my head for a bit, and on my way back I saw Lindsay.

"Hey," She said and I rolled my eyes. "Look I'm sorry about how I've been acting, you were right, you weren't even with me when you slept with Kim, I cant blame you at all, she's the one that slept with her best friends ex boyfriend, you didnt do nothing wrong." She said and I looked at her.

"Neither did Kim, we were both single." I said and she nodded.

"Listen, Jack, I really want us to try and work this house, I love you and we shouldnt let something like this come between us." She said sincerely.

"Lindsay, It's been 3 months," I stated and she nodded,

"Exactly, and I've missed you like mad, and I know that you've missed me." She said and I sighed, "And with Kim giving this baby up for adoption, after its over and done with, everything will be back to normal, I'm not gonna forgive her & I dont need her as a friend, but there's still a chance for us." She said and I sighed.

"I'll think about it." I said and started walking to my house not noticing the smirk on her face.

Hope you liked it!
