Chim - Double Walker

Chapter 24

Okay, just a heads up, this chapter might be extremely confusing at times and terribly written because I found it so hard to write without making it too obvious about who the real Kimberley is.
But as always, thank you all so much for reading anyways 😘 xx

Chapter 24

Authors POV

They are in a stare off with each other as Cheryl slowly edges away from them, backing herself against the kitchen counters.

'What are you doing here this time?!' 'Why can't you get a life and leave me alone?!'

They shout over each other before joining in unison.

'Get out of my house!'

A short silence falls before they both turn to Cheryl.

'chez it's me' they both speak again, each looking desperate to convince her.

Cheryl looks at them both in fear and terror, horrified at the situation she is in. They both have roughly the same sized bump and body shape, and they are both wearing clothes that Kimberley owns.

The woman who Cheryl met in the kitchen is wearing grey maternity joggers and a white vest top that highlights her pregnancy curves, a black cardigan over it, hiding her curves a little more. The woman who was in the bathroom is wearing black leggings and a baggy t-shirt that stops mid-thigh. Every item of clothing, Cheryl has seen Kimberley wear during her pregnancy.

How can she know which one is her Kimberley? Which one is the wife she has loved for years? Which one is carrying her son?

That's it! she thinks, smiling proudly in her thoughts. My Kimberley is in labour.

At that moment, the woman to her left, the one who had been in the toilet, hunches over, clutching her stomach in pain and groans.

Sighing with relief, Cheryl steps towards her, taking her hand and letting her take support against her as the contraction comes to an end.

'No, chez it's me' the other woman steps forwards, only to be stopped.

'No!' Cheryl snaps, 'You stay away from her, you stay away from me, and you stay away from our family!'

'But-'

'Cheryl, I need to get to the hospital'

Cheryl's attention is back on "Kimberley" as she begins to walk her towards the door. Before they move too far away, however, the other woman groans and holds onto the counter for support.

'Are you kidding me?!' "Kimberley" snaps.

'Right, so are you in labour too?' Cheryl asks, pointing at Kimberley 2.

'Well you should know chez, you were sat on the couch with me at the time!' she snarls through the contraction and, hearing this, Cheryls eyes widen.

'So are you Kimberley?' she asks, getting worked up.

'Yes!' 'No!' they both shout different answers again, contradicting one another.

'Would you stop it!' Cheryl cries, her tears flooding over her eyelashes, 'Which ever one is Amanda just stop it!'

She looks for a reaction, expecting a wicked grin from Amanda, but she is being more careful this time. Seeing no sign or hint of which of the women may be Amanda, Cheryl crumbles.

'This is horrible!' she whimpers, trying to gain control of her emotions again, wiping her tears with the back of her hand, 'How can you do this to someone? To a family?'
