"Trying to relax when Ron can't decide whether to be a dad or not. This is one hell of a task." Kim thought to herself, sinking her body into the hot, bubbly water. But left her mouth and aboe over the water.
Kim tried hard to relax but struggled. She has a baby on the way and the father wasn't sure what he was going to do. It was surely a confusing and nerve wracking time for Kim.
"If he is going to be the father... Will we have to be a propper family? Live together and everything?" Kim thought again. "Do I even like him in that way?"
Kim sighed loudly and tilted her head back, looking up at the ceiling.
Her brothers were still down stairs watching Tv and had been all day. Her father was in the labdoing something to do with his job like usual. They were going to have to find out soon.
Kim sighed and carefully climbed out of the bath. She grabbed her towel and dried herself, then moisterised her skin. She used one that smelt liek strawberries and redused the chance of getting wrinkles. Then she grabbed her clothes she had left out and put them on. But they didn't fit right. They were way too tight. That's when she realised that she needed maternity clothes and figured that why her clothes hadn't been fitting. She emptied the bath, her clothes pulling on her skin tightly. Then she headed out and walked downstairs.
"Mom!" Kim shouted, walking downstairs.
"Yes?" her mother replied, walking into the hall no longer wearing her apron which suggested she had finished dinner.
"My clothes don't fit." Kim sighed.
"Oh yes! You need maternity clothes!" her mother shouted with joy.
Her father just so happened to walk in on the mension of maternity clothes.
"Who's getting maternity clothes?" he asked.
"Oh shit..." Kim mumbled.
"Errrrm, honey. Kim is pregnant." her mother broke the ice.
"Pregnant?" he yelled, looking at Kim with shock.
"Yes, she went out ages ago to a night club. The one where we yelled at eachother and you cleaned up the broken tea cup and she got drunk. A boy also got drunk and the two ended up sleeping with eachother and she obviously got pregnant. After weeks, the morning sickness kicked in and we both pressumed it was a bug going round. then she gained weight which we pressumed was with partying too much and eating too much junk food. She felt aweful today so I ran some tests to see if there was anything majorly wrong with her. That's when we found out she was pregnant." her mother explained.
"This is happening so quickly." Her father said.
"Your telling me!" Kim chuckled.
"Who's the father?" he asked.
"A boy named Ron. We didn't know eachother at all, but we left eachother our numbers when we were drunk and I contacted him. We have talked for ages and now we are like best friends. I talked about the whole sitch not long ago today. He said he needed time to think about being a good father which I got upset about. But we'll sort it out soon," Kim explained, sitting down on the stairs because al lthe baby weight was making her tired and aching.
"Okay then. Do you know how many weeks gone you are?" he asked.
"Weeks? Months more like. Dad, i'm six months gone." Kim chuckled.
"Woah! That many already? And your not showing that bad, it just looks like you've put on a little weight." he replied.
"I know. That's how I didn't know at first. I assumed it was weight gain and an illness." Kim mumbled.
Kim's mobile was ringing but she ahd left it on the kitchen side, so he rmother walked and piked it up.
"Hello?" her mother said.
"Hey, this is Ron." Ron replied.
"Okay, Ron. Let me put Kim on." she replied.
She walked over to Kim and held out the phone.
"Who is it?" Kim asked.
"Ron," her mother replied.
"I don't want to talk to him." Kim said, looking away from the phone.
"Kim!" Ron's voice was just able to be heard without being put on speaker.
"One second Ron, i'll put you on speaker." Kim's mother told Ron.
She pressed the speaker button and Ron began to speak.
"Look Kim. I'm sorry for what I did. All this information is new to me and I wasn't sure how to handle it. I mean I can't look after goldfish without them dieing within a few days. I just don't want to dissapoint our child and you."
"Your not going to be alone, Ron. I'm here, my fmailies here and i'm sure family will support us."
"I know that now, this is why i've come to say that I will look after our baby and nothing is going to stop me. I want ot be there for my child, be a good dad and see my child grow up. There isn't anythign else that i'd rather be doing, Kim. That's the truth and i'm so sorry for earlier."
Kim was tearing up and evetually started crying tears of joy.
"O-okay, Ron. I forgive you, we had better start ahnging out and getting used to eachother more." Kim chuckled.
"Great! I can't wait to hang out with you. I'll text you later, gotta go to work now." Ron replied before hanging up.
"Thank God!" Kim burst out shouting.
"He seems decent, Kim. Told you that he was just worried and confused." Kim's mother said.
"Yes. Yes, he does." Kim replied with a smile.
