Responsibility

Temper's POV

A baby! Are you kidding me? He got her pregnant. Feeling my blood pressure rise I begin to space out. I wasn't mad at Kelly. I was upset at the situation. Hell life even. I wanted to start a family with Kelly and now that opportunity is somewhat gone.

"A baby." Kelly mumbled  to herself. I slowly looked at her. "So you really didn't know?" I said questioning her. Her head snapped in my direction. "No." She said lowly. "I'm pregnant" Kelly said confused still. I sat down on the seat next to her trying to make sense of this all. "I can't be. We used protection." She frowned her eyebrows. "That's not a hundred percent baby proof Kelly. It could have broken or something like that."  I said looking at the floor. She threw her hands over her face. "Ugh god."  Kelly started to cry. "Kelly please don't." I said closing my eyes. "I am sitting in a hospital bed because of my abusive boyfriend. Now I have to find out that I am pregnant." She said sitting back. Her eyes widened. Her heart monitor beeped loudly. "Oh my god. Lance!" She said running her fingers through her hair. "Is he okay? I have to see him." Kelly tried to get up. I nudged her back down slightly. "No no no your staying in bed." I demanded. "I need to know if he's okay or at least alive" "He is recovering in the ICU from head trauma. She relaxed her body a bit. "The police have advised that you don't have any contact with him." "Well he's the father of my child. I think he deserves to know." She said a little on edge. "I don't think he cares to know." I spoke honestly. Kelly's face saddened.

I wasn't trying to hinder Kelly from her perfect family. She's right. Any child in this situation does deserve to know about thier father. He as well at least somewhat deserves a chance to know that he has a baby on the way. But he has to care first.

"I'm sorry Kelly." I said turning towards her. "Your right. He probably doesn't even care. Maybe I can tell him further along the road." Her heart broken tone made me feel bad. "What ya gunna do?" I asked sympathetically. "I can't bring a child into this. My life is hectic. I don't even know if I wa-" I cut her off. "No no no. Hell no." I said standing to my feet. "I understand this not what you wanted or wanted at the moment. But you layed down with him Kelly and you knew the risk. You are not having an abortion." I read her mind quickly. "T it's my body." She said harshly. "I'm not letting you do that Kelly. You will regret it." I said truthfully.

That was her child. Her flesh and blood. How could she want to kill it? I mean it was her body and ultimately her decision. I've seen what that could do to a person later on.

I can't raise a child alone." She said lowly. "You don't have to. I can help." I said with a grin. "Oh no. This isn't your problem." Kelly fiddled with her fingers. "Kelly, no matter what happens to us. We will always have that bond. No favor is to big." I put my hands in my pocket. Kelly smiled touching her stomach. "And stop thinking about it like a problem. You have a kid now. This is blessing." I touched her stomach.

The door suddenly opened. Ms.Doris came in. "Oh my god you're awake. Baby are you Okay?" She asked rushing over to Kelly. "I will be." She said letting out a breath. "That's good baby." She pushed Kelly's hair behind her ear. "Oh I knew that boy was off." Kelly just looked down at her hands. She looked over at me for a second. "Well honey you know I have to go back to work in a few." She gave her mother a slight grin. "You going to be okay?" Kelly's mother asked. "Yeah I'll be fine. She adjusted her sheets. Kelly grabbed my hand. "Ok love you." "Love you too Mama." Kelly said as her mother kissed her cheek. "Temper baby can I talk to you outside?" Ms.Doris said as she walked out from the door. I followed doing as asked. I closed the door behind me quietly.

"Ma'am?" I said respectfully. Ms.Doris was like my second mother. "I know that Kelly may be a handful. But stick with her." I nodded my head. "She really likes you whether she admits it or not." I stepped back. "You know?" I uttered embarrassed once again. "Of course I know. Anyone would be blind to not see you two have a connection." She said grabbing my arm. "I see the way you look at her." She leaned in whispering a bit. "She doesn't want me though." I said with sorrow. "If you know that first thing about women is that when we say we don't we do. For that most part." She giggled. I laughed as well. That was somewhat true with Kelly. Every time she said she wasn't mad she is mad. "Give her time to come around. After this she will." I pulled Ms.Doris in for a hug. She was such a beautiful and loving spirit. "Love you mom." I said letting her go. "Take care of my baby." She pinched my cheek. I smiled thinking about Kelly. She waved as she disappeared into the chaos of the hospital hallways.

I smiled going back into the room. Kelly sat in bed looking at the TV. "What you watching?" I asked suspiciously. "Uuhm golden girls." She said focusing on the TV. "Stop ease dropping." I sat on the edge of her bed. She smiled knowing she was caught. "I wasn't ease dropping." Lier. "Yeah you were. And you know you can't lie to me." I said slapping her foot. Kelly smiled butting her lip.

"Carter its not that I don't want you." She blurted randomly. "It that I don't know who I am. I don't want to hurt you in the process." Kelly exclaimed. Smiling I shook my head. "Kelly at this point there is nothing you can say or do that would hurt me." She just looked down into her lap. "You'll never know till you try." I told her seriously. "I know your right I just-" I cut her off quickly. "Stop thinking about us and do it. Because yes Kelly I love you but my heart will not wait forever." I said standing to my feet. Silence brushed over the room.

I did love Kelly but I couldn't wait forever. She was so worried about what could go wrong instead of thinking about what could go right. More importantly Kelly didn't have time to stress with this baby. She had more important things too worry about then her sexuality.

"I want us Temper." I looked at her surprised. "You said what?" "I want us. And I want you to be in my child's life as more then a friend to me." She muttered. I went and sat next to her. "Are you sure Kelly? I love you but I can't get my heart broken again." Grabbing her hand I held it tightly. "I'm listening to you T. I'm not thinking I'm doing." She looked me into my eyes. "Because I-uh I love you too." I became overwhelmed with emotion. Those are words Kelly had never said to me before. "I thought you would never say it." I grabbed her pulling her into a deep kiss. Her hands slightly touched mine as I held in into the kiss. She pushed away separating us.

"I think this is bad timing but I uh I don't have any clothes, shoes, or place to stay." Looking at her I just smiled. I pecked her lips once more. "You know I got you." Kelly grinned looking into my eyes. "Plus the doctor said you can go home tomorrow." I stood to my feet. "I don't have any clothes." She ran her hands over the hospital gown. "I got that covered. Brought you a bag, its in my trunk. You have plenty of stuff over my place." I laughed a bit.

Kelly and my encounter's have left our belongings in each other possession. A shirt here a pare of underwear there. At the end of the day we would usually have an entire outfit over.

My apple ringtone snapped my out of my laughter. I pulled the phone out of my pocket. Chris's name lit the screen. The call ended as I got a text. *The Girls Here Are For Casting* "Yeah I gotta get going." I said slowly. "Okay. What time you coming tomorrow?" She asked with a little disappointment. "As early as I can." I put my phone back in my pocket. I kissed her forehead. "I'll be here I promise."
