A Pain Never Forgotten (NCIS) - Part Two

Chapter One

Kelly was still sat on her bathroom floor against the wall hugging her knees to her chest and holding her face. She felt awful shouting at McGee but she just wanted him to leave. She knew that he was only trying to be a good friend but she was still in utter shock, she never told McGee who the potential dad was, she didn’t know how he would react. There was a chance she could be pregnant, after a one night stand with someone that her dad worked with. Sure enough they were close after that night and had kissed a couple of times but since England and after he found out what her real purpose was for getting transferred to NCIS things had cooled off. The team had forgiven her and fully understood Kelly’s actions but she and Tony had just never carried things on.  

Kelly had felt like she had been crying for hours and her head was throbbing. She pulled herself up and stumbled a little all the crying had made her feel a dizzy. She walked out of the bathroom and into the kitchen the smashed glass was still shattered all over the floor, she swept it up and then went straight to bed. She didn’t even bother to get changed out of her clothes she got herself tucked up in her quilt, her phone was on her dressing table and it was buzzing constantly she knew it was just McGee trying to text and call her, it hurt to ignore him but she just couldn’t face talking to him.

Kelly struggled to open her eyes they were still swollen and sore, she could feel the sun peaking through her blinds warming her pale skin. She climbed out of the bed and stumbled over to her dresser she sat on the big comfy bench and looked at her self in the mirror, her face was red and blotchy and mascara stained her rosy cheeks her hair was stuck up in every direction. I need a shower she thought.

She let the warm water run over her face it was soothing, she reached up for her shea butter shower gel and started rubbing it all over her she reached down to her stomach and stopped, everything hit her all over again. Someone could be living in there, it would grow huge, my body would change, my life would change! Could I do it? The thoughts rushed through her head clouding her mind but she had to clear it, she had to sort her own life out before she could consider looking after someone else’s.

After getting dressed into a pair of black leggings and a big khaki loosely knitted jumper she returned to her living room and lounged on her sofa she started to scan her apartment, her mind racing again could I raise a child here? It’s big enough but not exactly kid friendly. Her phone was buzzing once again she reached over and saw that it was her dad this time she had to pick it up, she couldn’t hide forever.

"Hello"

"Hi, are you okay? You're late for work!"

"Oh sorry, I feel sick, I can't come in today"

I just heard him grunt and then sigh "okay, well call me next time, McGee can cover your workload for today"

"Sorry Dad, love you"

"Love you too, feel better"

Kelly fell back onto the sofa, what was she going to do? She knew that she couldn’t stay ‘ill’ forever. She placed her hand on her stomach, she never wanted this, especially not with Tony. How could she be so stupid? She knew that Tony wasn’t the family guy and showed no signs of settling down, with his ever growing list of women.

Her phone would not give up ringing and she couldn’t ignore McGee for much longer he must have called like 50 times already.

"Hello"

"Hi, I was worried about you. I didn't want to leave you alone when you were like that"

"You're a good friend McGee, but I need you not to tell anyone"

"I won't it's not my place, you can trust me"

"Thanks, but I guess I need to be sure! Can you bring me a test when you're on your lunch? I don’t feel like leaving my apartment today, and I want someone here when I take it"

"Yeah, Of course, we're not that busy so I should be able to get out"

"Thanks Tim, see you soon"

She knew it wouldn't be long till McGee got here it was already 11, but the waiting was killing her.  Kelly had just assumed that she was pregnant because she was always so regular and she hadn’t had a period in 2 months.
