A Baby For Kydd

•••

Cobain walked in, he smiled when he saw Kydd's face.
He walked up to her and kissed her lips.
" Hey beautiful. "
She looked down at her shoes.
" Hey baby girl what's up? "
She looked at him just as tears filled her eyes.
" Hey.. Shhh.. Come here baby. "
He pulled her into his arms. He held her close.
She sniffed.
" Cobain.."
She cried a little more.
" Cobain.. I'm.."
He rubbed her back.
" Shhh.. Baby girl I'm here. "
She pulled away a bit. She looked at him. Thought to herself. I know you're here I hope you stay.
" Cobain, I'm.. We.. I'm.. Cobain,.. Cobain we're going to have a baby. "
As the words left her mouth so did the color of Cobain's face.
He was pale. And it looked like he saw a ghost.

He walked away and started muttering to himself in Spanish. Kydd didn't even knew he could speak Spanish.

" Cobain? "
He held up a hand.
Let out a slight scream.
" Fuuuuuuuuuuck! Shit! "
Put his hands on his face.
" Are you sure? "
He asked. As he looked up at her.
" I took 5 pregnancy test and yesterday I went to the doctor. I'm 6 weeks, Cobain."
He put his hands back on his face. Said something more in Spanish.
He looked up at her.
" Get rid of it! I can't be a dad! I'm only seventeen Kydd! "
She put a protective arm over her stomach.
" I WILL NOT GET RID OF MY BABY COBAIN! OUR BABY! "
Her face grew hot.
" How could you suggest something like that!? "

He took a step back.
" Im sorry, I just I can't be a dad Kydd."
" Well get use to the idea. Because in 8 months our baby will be here. "

He looked at her again.
" I need some air. "
He ran for the door leaving Kydd alone.

He didn't come back. Nor did he text her back.
She sat in the restroom crying during homeroom.
He told her to get rid of it. Her baby wasn't an IT!!
She sobbed hard.

By the time gym came she had cried so much her eyes were puffy and red.
She changed quickly and quietly. Trying not to show her sadness. She stepped out of the locker room. She didn't bother looking around for Cobain.

" Kydd.. "
He pulled her hand.
" Freaked out okay. "
He was already changed into his gym clothes.
He pulled her close.
" I'm so sorry."
He lifted her head.
" You told me to get rid of it.. You called our baby an it.."
He looked down and sighed.
" God! I know and I'm so sorry. I was scared, I am scared Kydd. I left I drove off, I drove around crying... Crying because I know I left you hurt and alone.. But also because I'm not sure what to do. "
Kydd squeezed his hand.
" I'm scared too. "
He kissed her head.
He pulled out a tiny box.
And handed it to her.
She took the tiny box and opened it. Inside was a small bracelet, big enough to fit a baby's wrist. It was silver with a silver onesie with the words BABY carved into it.
" I figured the baby would need this little bling bling. "
She hugged him tight and kissed his lips.
" Did you know our baby's heart is beating 100 to 160 times a minute? And he's the size of a lentil? I didn't know what a lentil was so I googled it. It's like a little bean. And it's used for soup...Our baby is a bean Kydd.."
She laughed and kissed his lips.
" Are you giving him a nickname? "
He looked at her.
" Him? How do you know it's a boy? "
She smiled "..because since I have found out about him I fell in love with him. Just like I did his daddy."
He pulled her close and kissed her cheek.

As gym started Kydd wondered if it was safe to do anything.
She figured it would be okay today would be the last day of gym for her.
As they lined up for a game of dodge ball Kydd thought to about telling the gym teacher she was sick.
The whistle blew.
Kydd stayed in the back behind Cobain.
If she could make it through gym. The new classes would start and she wouldn't have to go though this and put the baby thought anything physical. Except maybe slightly jogs from her bed to the fridge.

Kydd looked up long enough to see the anger in Taylor's face.
Before she had a time to react the ball hit her hard in the middle of her stomach.

Kydd let out a small yelp and dropped to the floor.

Cobain ran to her side.
" Is he okay? "
Kydd didn't know and she was afraid to know.
Cobain picked her up in his arms.
" Move! Move! "
He shouted to the group of people that gathered around them.
He ran with Kydd in his arms..
