Chapter 15 - Maybe Baby!
As Kate walked out of the bathroom stall ... there sat Kelly near the sink.
Kelly: You look like hell.
Kate: Thanks. What do you want?
Kelly: Look I am sorry about how everything went down the last time we were together. I think we both said things we didn't mean.
Kate: Kelly don't you think that maybe there was some truth to what you said. I can tell that you and Randy don't like each other. Why? He's an amazing guy and I am going to marry him.
Kelly: I know that you love each other and Randy seems like a great guy.. but ... but .. .
Kate: But what Kelly?
Kelly: I just have a bad feeling about this whole thing. I just don't want to see my best friend get hurt ok. I just know in my heart that he isn't right for you.
Kelly and Kate stared at each other for a moment.
Kate: Kelly be honest is it because he blames you for my accident?
Kelly: That's part of it. He still blames me for it... it was an accident. I hope you know that I would never want my best friend hurt. It killed me when I thought that we lost you. You're my best friend. But the other part of all of this is ... is how he looks at you.
Kate: Kelly what do you mean how he looks at me? I don't know what the means.
Kelly: He looks at you like he owns you, like you belong to him. I am just so scared that you are going to lose who you really are if you marry him.
Kate: Are you done?
Kelly gave her friend a half-smile and nodded.
Kate: I appreciate your concern but I am a big girl. Randy and I love each other so much and if by chance he does break my heart ... don't you think I want to run to my best friend so she can tell me I told you so.
Kelly smiled.
Kate: You are my best friend and we tell each other everything we are supposed to be planning my wedding together like we've always talked about. Please say that you will be my maid of honor.
Kelly: You still want me to be your MOH?
Kate: Yeah.
Kelly: Of course I will. Now clearly you've had too much to drink if you puking in the bathroom. Kate have a taught you nothing?
Kate laughed: Actually I haven't drank anything tonight.
Kelly: Really? WOW weird.
They laughed and hug each other.
Over the next several days Kelly and Kate were together all the time they were helping with the party. Kate went to work for a few days but was still feeling crappy. Randy was concerned but it annoyed Kate that he always asked about her so he chose to just back off for now.
Friday Morning - Kate was supposed to meet Kelly to work on some wedding planning and make sure everything was ready for tomorrow night. But Kate was still in bed. When Kelly and Georgie ran in and bounced on the bed.
Kate: I HATE YOU BOTH! Get off my bed.
Georgie: Somebody's grumpy again.
Kelly: Yeah she is... now get up bitch we have to work to remember.
Kate: I just don't feel well right now. We'll do it later.
Kelly laughed: Some one is being a total bridezilla right now. Georgie will you go down and get Katie here some hot tea that will make her feel better.
Georgie smiled: Yeah I can do that.
As Georgie left the room Kelly pulled back the blankets and looked down and her best friend looking a little sea sick in the bed.
Kelly: Time to be completely honest with me.
Kate: What do you want? Kelly ... I am not in the mood for whatever game you want to play.
Kelly: Are you pregnant?
Kate's eyes popped open as she shot straight up in bed.
Kate: What the hell did you just ask me?
A little louder she said: ARE ... YOU ... PREGNANT?
Kate: SSHH. Some one could hear you. No.. I am not... at least I don't think I am. I can't be right? Not yet?
Kelly: Are you late?
Kate thought a moment: Maybe... but I've traveled so much that I am honestly horrible at keeping track of that.
Kelly: Well there is only one way to find out.
Kelly got off the bed and grabbed her coat.
Kate: Where are you going?
Kelly laughed: To the drug store... you are gonna pee on a stick for me.
Kate flipped Kelly off.
Kate: I hate you so much right now.
Kelly: Hey I am not the one who may be knocked up.
Kate laid back in the bed and tossed the covers over her head as Kelly left.
Kate's POV: I can't be pregnant right. Not yet. I mean Randy and I have never talked about having kids. Heck we haven't really been together all that long. This is all happening way to fast. We're engage going to be married in a few months. Now I could possible be pregnant. What the hell am I gonna do. What will Randy say... how will I tell?
Kate drifted back off to sleep. Until Kelly came back in to the room about a 1/2 hour later.
Kelly: Get up! Moment of truth.
Kate slowly sat up and watched as her best friend dumped out the entire two bags of stuff she got at the store all over the bed.
Kate: What the hell is all of this?
Kelly: Well I bought two different kinds of test to make sure and then well I got some water because you need to pee. I was hungry so I got some snacks.
Kate rolled her eyes: Beef jerky and kit kat bars?
Kelly: Yeah and of course a few magazines to pass the time.
Then Kelly held up the WWE magazine that had Legacy on the cover.
Kate: Your such a bitch you know that.
Kelly: I love you too now drink this wather and go take this test.
Kelly handed Kate the bottle of water and the first box.
Kate slowly got out of bed, at this point she wished she had her own bathroom. Kate zipped across the hall and read the directions.
45 Minutes later: Kate sat on the edge of her bed almost in tears, Kelly by her side as they looked down at all four test.
Kate: Kelly what am I going to do?
Kelly: Tell Randy that you're clearly pregnant. I mean all four of these little bastards say the same thing... look we have two that read the word clearly and the other two have two-lines... your pregnant Kate.
Kate couldn't help but laugh at her friend: Your enjoying this aren't you?
Kelly: Like I told you pay backs are a bitch.
Kate: I was never this mean to you when you went thru this in high school.
Kelly: I know but it's more fun on the other side.
They both laughed.
Kate: I need to tell him don't I?
Kelly laughed: You don't have too ... I mean he may just think you get really fat.
