Kentucky's Best

Chapter 23

It was 3 days later before Harry, Rose and Stephanie caught a flight back to Kentucky, Rose wouldn't leave until Anne promised to be there for the babies birth. Now that they were finally on their way back home, Rose couldn't wait to see everyone there, plus she missed her animals so much, especially Waikiki.
About 10 minutes before landing, Harry reaches over and gently wakes Rose up. "Babe, wake up, we'll be landing soon." Harry whispers.

Rose turns her head and looks at Harry. "How soon?" She asks.

"About 10 minutes or so, why?" Harry asks.

"I have to pee again." Rose grins.

Harry smiles. "If we hurry you have time." He says as he stands to help her up. Once Rose was on her feet Harry walks behind her with his hands on her hips to help keep her steady. He has done that every time she had to get up, not wanting her to lose her balance and hurting herself or the baby. When Rose was done they make their way back to their seats just as the "buckle your seat belt" sign pops on.
After departing the plane Rose picks Steph up so Harry can get the bags and lead the way to where he left his truck. Once there he threw the bags in the back, took Steph from Rose and buckled her into the back seat, then helped Rose into the passenger seat. Harry then got in himself and headed for home.
............

Harry walks into the house in a really bad mood, one of the new guys he and Marty had hired to take care of the animals they have at the clinic wasn't doing his job properly, even after being told several time how to do it. Looking around, Harry sees the livingroom is a mess, there are clothes on the sofa, Steph's toys are still all over the floor and food left on plates on the coffee table. Rose never leaves the house in a mess like this. Pissed, Harry stomps up the stairs looking for Rose and his daughter. Slamming the bedroom door open, what meets his eyes shocks him.
Rose is on her knees holding her stomach with one hand, his crying daughter with her other arm while it looks like she trying to breath through a contraction.

Rose hears the bedroom door slam open and a pissed off Harry standing there but right now she doesn't have time to deal with his bullshit when she's hurting like hell, and has Steph crying all over her. Hell she already knows the house is a mess, but what does Harry want from her? She's nine months pregnant, he works all day and expects her to keep the house clean, supper cooked and ready when he gets home and his daughter taken care of, and they weren't even married.

"Rose." Harry says.

"Fuck off." Rose snaps at Harry for the first time ever. "If all you're going to do is bitch, go the fuck away." Rose cries. "I'm to tired to hear it. All I've done sence I've come home from England is cook, clean and care for Stephanie, not that I mind that part, I love her." Rose snaps. "All you do is go to work, come home, take a shower, eat, then go to bed. Harry I do every fucking thing else and I work to, plus take care of my animals. Did You even realize I was working until last week while doing everything else too. Hell no, as long as you had a clean house and a hot meal to come home to that's all that matters to you. Well you know what, fuck you, I'm so done, I didn't sign up for this. You want someone to cook and clean for you hire a fucking maid. I QUIT." Rose screams, then doubles over when another contraction hit her.

Harry runs to Rose's side. "Babe come on. Let me take you to the hospital." Harry says reaching for her.

"No!" Rose says, slapping Harry's hands away from her. "Don't fucking touch me, I've already called your mom." Rose cries as Anne and Gemma run through the bedroom door. Rose looks up at the woman she's come to love. "Get him out of here, please I don't want him here."

"Rose, no." Harry cries as Gemma grabs his arm.

"Harry come on." Gemma says.

"No!" Harry yells, jerking his arm from his sister's grip. "She's having my son, she can't kick me out. I'll take him from her I swear I will." He threatens.

Rose's head pops up at that. Suddenly she jumps to her feet and runs at Harry. "Get out." Rose screams as she slaps, and hits him wherever she could. "You will never take my son, in fact you will never see him. Fuck off, Harry, I hate you." Rose falls to her knees crying.

Harry froze when the first slap hit his face, then the tears started flowing when he heard Rose screaming she hated him, just as he was leaving the room he heard her whisper. "He's not taking my baby from me, mom, he can't."
Harry then realized what he said, he didn't mean it, she had to know he didn't. Walking down the stairs, Harry sits on the sofa and starts thinking about what Rose said, about the way he's been acting and he realizes she's right. He just assumed she had quit working a month ago when they talked about it. And when it came to all the other stuff, as much as he hates to admit it, even to himself, Rose is right about about all that too, he did expect her to keep the house clean, his meal done and his daughter cared for, even in her condition. Hell he's such an ass, he even promised he wouldn't do this.
Looking up Harry sees Louis looking at him. "Why isn't the ambulance here yet?" He asks.

Louis shakes his head. "I can't believe you. Harry, she's not going to the hospital, damn man we all sat in this very room over a month ago talking about this. It was the day your mom got back here. Rose said then she wanted to do a home birth since your mom is a midwife. Good Lord man you agreed to it." Louis snaps at Harry. "What the fuck is wrong with you are you fucking cheating on her?" Louis asks him.

"What? No." Harry snaps.

"Then what is going on with you? She can't remind you of you wife, Gem showed me a picture of her, they look nothing alike. And I did shoot her twin if you will remember, and from what I've been told they sure as fuck don't act the same." Louis yells.

"I'm so afraid I'm going to lose her, I guess I'd rather it happen now than later when I'm in so deep it will literally kill me." Harry says around the knot in his throat.

"Well, fuck man." Louis says with tears in his eyes.

Harry was about to say more when his mom screams. "Oh God, Rose please breath."
