McKensie and Lara II :)
Luke hugged her back, resting his chin ontop of her head. He was glad that they were alright again. "It's ok." he said softly. "I can only imagine what pregnancy hormones must be like to deal with, so don't apologize. I just wish I could help more." he said honestly, running his fingers through her hair. "Are you sure that this adoption is what you want? Don't just do this for me Kenna. I won't let you do anything just for me." he said seriously. He wanted her to be happy, not for her to sacrifice for him. Laila found herself lying tucked up against him, and she didn't complain at all. After being able to fall asleep for the first time ever in his arms, she felt safe there now, and had no complaints about being held. She felt a little better as he started to reassure her about the kid, but her worries only really washed away at his last comment, because her fear was replaced almost immediately with awkward happiness. She blushed bright red and hid her face against his shirt, shaking her head. "But you wanted this kid so badly." She whispered. "I'd hate to keep you from it." She said, talking mostly to keep the attention away from how flustered she was all of a sudden.
Kenna nodded and smiled "I still get to be part of her life, that's all I really wanted. Chris just made it more confusing and harder, he apologized and supports this decision...Elise is a great mom and I can't wait till she's born this lucky girl has two mom's who love her." She nuzzled him "I love you..."Chris shook his head "hush now, time to sleep and you aren't keeping me from anything. I'll have a kid eventually and it will be a happy occasion not a stressful one. It wasn't fair for me at all, I caused this...I made it right."
Luke nodded in understanding, smiling finally. He was so glad that everything was working out alright. He kissed her cheek gently. "We should get you back to bed. You need your rest before the tyke comes." he said, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "We can come back and visit Chris and Laila again tomorrow after lunch if you wish." he offered. Laila finally relaxed, convinced that this was what he wanted and that he was not secretly mad at her or anything. She smiled, opening one eye to look across him at Krissy who was still sleeping. "You lucky man." she whispered. "You get to go to bed with two girls in your arms." She shifted until she was comfortable, and then settled in his arms, closing her eyes. "I'll stay until they kick me out." She whispered.
Kenna smiled up at him and leaned into his arms "I have the most amazing and caring boy in the world..." She whispered nuzzling him "I didn't get to tell you how much I enjoyed...well you know." She blushed but smiled.Chris kissed her head "I won't let them kick you out...you need some sleep and so does Squish..." He smiled at his sister "she sure is pretty isn't she? I'm going to have to sharpen a big stick when the boys come."
Luke lead her out to the parking lot and helped her into the car. He chuckled softly, his eyes shining. "I'm glad you enjoyed it." He said honestly, starting up the car. "I was worried I wouldn't compare to Razor." He joked, half in jest, and half serious. He pulled out of the hospital parking lot and started off down the road. Laila nodded a little, pulling the blanket up higher around them all. "She is a spirited little thing." She agreed. "I'm sure she can keep the boys under control herself." she laughed softly. "You two are two peas in a pod, you know that? Most likely she'll have all the boys wrapped around her little finger."
Kenna slapped him lightly giggling "your the one I love and it's not a comparison unless you want to compare me with every girl you've been with." She smiled at him shaking her head.Chris chuckled and smiled "yeah, like you and your brother I assume he seems like a really nice guy. Very protective of you...he's getting married you say? Do you like her?"
Luke chuckled, shaking his head. "Ok ok I get the point. No comparisons." He promised, pulling up at his house. He turned the car off and got out. "You know I really haven't been with that many girls..." He said, smiling at her as he unlocked his house again. Laila smiled rather wistfully. "Yeah. It was always he and I growing up." She said honestly. "He's super sweet, really. He'll warm up to you." She promised. "He is getting married. He's proposing this weekend." She said honestly. "I like the girl well enough... but I don't like the fact that it's another girl... you know? I know I have no right to be jealous, and I really shouldn't be. I just... I worry."
Kenna smiled and got into the house with him "you've had three girlfriends since I've known you and tons of dates until this year..." She reminded "don't be modest your a stud muffin who I adore!"Chris played with her hair "don't think of it as losing a brother, but gaining a sister. It's hard, I know but he's trying to make it work with you obviously, would you rather he elope and keep you out of his married life?"
Luke rolled his eyes, but he was smiling as he shut the door again and scooped her into his arms. He stole a kiss as he carried her back to his bedroom. "That might be a bit of an overstatement..." He said, laying her down gently. "I'm no stud." He tucked the blankets up around her and sat beside her on the bed. "Are you comfortable?"Laila sighed softly, nodding. She knew she needed to change her perspective on this, she just hated the thought of having to share Andrew. He would have another person to share his secrets with now, and he would probably be too busy to take very many calls anymore. Laila tried not to think about that, and just focus on the positive, like Chris had said. "I know. I'm happy that he's including me." she agreed, leaving it at that. Because that was really the only thing she was happy about him getting married.
Kenna smiled "as comfortable as I can with an extra ten pounds in me who bounces on my bladder like a trampoline...I can't wait till this little girl moves out!" She smiled at him "are you happy with Elise?"Chris sighed tiredly "I'm still so tired...baby can we talk tomorrow?"
Luke laughed softly, shaking his head. He couldn't imagine what carrying around a child would be like, and he was glad that it was the females that did that job. "I am happy with Elise." he said honestly. "She seems very sweet and enthusiastic." he squeezed her hand. Laila nodded, feeling badly to have bothered him with her troubles. "Of course." She whispered, tucking up against him again where she closed her eyes, staying still an quiet so that he could sleep. He had been in a car accident after all, and she knew he needed his rest.
Kenna nodded her agreement, "she'll be a perfect mom...and I still get to see her on her birthdays and holdays..." She squeezed his hand gently and sighed rubbing her stomach "I hope Chris gets better.."Chris held her close and pecked her forehead "I love you angel...everything will work out for the best..." He promised and nuzzled her before falling asleep his body exhausted.
Luke nodded in agreement, happy that she was happy with the soon to be mother. "It really is a good situation." He agreed. "The little girl is going to be so pampered." He said, chuckling. Then he sobered again. "Yeah. Looks like the accident was pretty bad. He's lucky to be able to heal after that kind of damage."Laila smiled lightly, nodding. She closed her eyes, waiting for Chris to fall asleep before she climbed out of his arms again. She walked out of the hospital room and wandered down the hallways, getting lost in her own thoughts. So much was going on right now, it was hard to sleep. She knew she was thankful that Chris survived that crash, but she was still worried about him. She was worried about him actually being happy about this whole kid thing. And she was worried about Andrew's wedding. Sighing softly, Laila wandered to the hospital kitchens, peaking inside. "Do you have any extra water bottles?" She asked a nearby nurse on night shift.
Kenna sighed "there i go sucking the happiness out of everything...why am i such a freak? We were happy and i ruin it by talking about Chris...baby i swear im not this emotional wreck!"The nurse nodded and gave her a water bottle "are you ok sugar?" She asked worriedly obviously the girl was a wreck. She grabbed her a pack of cookies "spill, boyfriend issues?"
Luke smiled lightly, kissing her gently. "It's sweet of you to be worried." He said, brushing her hair back. "You're not a freak, you're pregnant, and I understand that." he whispered, his smile gentle. Laila took the bottle thankfully, unscrewing it open. "Thank you." she said, downing a gulp. She smiled weakly, leaning back against the counter. "You could say that I guess. We both love eachother still, it's just a lot of stress right now." She said honestly. "He's got a kid on the way that's not mine that has been causing a lot of angst. I'm friends with the mother." she took another gulp of water and accepted the cookies. "Yeah... just a lot of stress."
Kenna smiled and kissed him gently "I've got to sleep love...I only have a couple of weeks before the due date and the most terrifying night of my life exposed to many doctors."Carla blinked and laughed softly "dang girl! You could be in a soap opera! So what are you doing here? Is the friend having the baby? Or did the boyfriend get punched out by your friend's boyfriend."
Luke nodded his agreement, tucking the blankets up around her. "You got that right." He said, kissing her forehead. "You'll do just fine, and I promise I'll be there, ok?" He whispered, switching out the light on the nightstand. "Goodnight."Laila smiled weakly. "Neither actually." she shrugged. "Baby isn't on the way yet, but my boyfriend got in an accident last night with the rain and all." She shook her head. "And that just makes things more complicated..." She sighed.
The next morning Kenna got up and got ready for the lunch date, she grabbed the forms and sighed "Luke are you ready yet? We are going to be late!"The nurse sighed "oh dear, why can't you just release what isn't yours? Take care of your boy and don't worry about things that don't involve you."
Luke was scrambling around, trying to get his jacket on and fix his hair. "Coming." He said, grabbing his keys. "Are you ready?" He asked, meaning was she ok with all of this. Was she ready to go through with it? He opened the door and stepped out.Laila sighed, not knowing why she couldn't stop worrying. She worried about everyone's problems, because well... She cared. "I know... I really should. I just find myself worrying about my friends and family's problems even when I'm not trying to." She said honestly, not quite sure why she was spilling to this nurse, but it felt good to talk.
Kenna took a deep breath and nodded "yeah I am, I feel good about this and little girl will know I still love her deeply." She explained getting into his car and blasting the air conditioning it was extra hot today for some reason.The nurse nodded "worrying is rehearsing in your mind everything that could go wrong. What is the reality? It seems your boyfriend is alive the baby gets a nice home and no one is upset or stressed...only you are hon because your still living the past."
Luke nodded, as he agreed with her, and he was glad that she was happy with this. That was all that mattered to him, that she was happy. "I'm glad you've finally come to a decision you're happy about." He said honestly, not commenting on how high she turned on the ac, as it was very hot. Especially for the fall. Weather was crazy this season.Laila sighed softly. Why did she worry? She certainly didn't want to... "I know.... I know. You're right! But I...." She huffed. "No. I'm not making excuses. I'll try my best not to worry." She resolved. "I think it's just my personality to worry." She admitted, tossing the now empty water bottle.
Kenna smiled and got out when they arrived, she recognized the young couple from the photos "are you Elise and Ryan?" She asked hopefully, oh my gosh they were like perfect models!The nurse smiled and handed her another cookie "good now, off to bed so you can wake up to a brand new day."
Elise beamed when she saw Kenna, and she practically ran up and embraced her, her smile huge. "I am! And you must be Kenna." She said, glancing back at her husband. "This is Ryan." She introduced. Luke smiled and held out his hand for him to shake. "I'm Luke. A pleasure to meet you."Laila nodded, thanking her for the cookie. She returned to their room to find Chris still fast asleep with Krissy in his arms. She didn't want to wake either of them, so she curled up in a hospital chair and fell asleep.
Kenna smiled and hugged her back shaking her husband's hand and letting Luke pull out her chair for her. "Here's all the paperwork and I brought ultrasound pictures so you can see your baby, it's a little girl and she's really active!" She smiled loving the look on Elise's face she made the right decision "I'm thinking about getting induced maybe next week..."
Emily's eyes lit up at the mention of pictures, as she was more than thrilled to see her baby. Well. Soon to be baby. "Thank you so much!" She said, sitting down beside her husband and across the table from Kenna and Luke. She peered at the paper work, eager to get started and sign for the child. "Next week?" She repeated. "That came quickly." She said. " call us when the baby comes?" She asked hopefully.Laila woke early in the morning, as she never slept long. She stretched her stiff limbs from sleeping in a chair all night long. Getting up, she had a drink of water and smiled at Chris's form before leaving to go the washroom. When she was cleaned up, she returned to their room again.
Kenna smiled and nodded "I would actually love it if you were in the waiting room...and Elise, would you be in the delivery room? I want you to hold your baby first." She explained and smiled gently "your the mom, baby wants to meet you." She squeezed Luke's hand trying not to get emotional.Chris was just waking up trying to nudge Krissy awake "hey beautiful..." He pecked her cheek "did you sleep ok? Did I snore? I don't even remember the nurse coming in for vitals or medicine check.
Emily nearly teared up and she squeezed her husbands hand, thrilled. "I would love that." She said seriously. She looked at Kennas stomach with a sort of longing, and smiled again. "You don't know how good you've been to us by doing this." She said, so happy. Luke wrapped his arm around Kenna, giving her shoulders a squeeze. She was doing amazing and he was so proud.
Krissy mumbled something about going back to sleep and then slowly her eyes opened. "I slept just fine on my nice pillow." She patted his arm. "Are you feeling better?" She asked, worried about how he was doing. She glanced around, wondering where Laila had gotten to.
Kenna smiled though tears were coming "I'm so grateful to find such perfect parents...I do still want to know her though, my biggest worry is having her think I don't love her because I do so much!" She laid Emily's hand on her stomach to let her feel the movements.Chris nodded and sighed looking around, where was that girl of his? He smiled when she walked through the door "there's my beautiful girl...I was worried you left." He said honestky
Emily nodded enthusiastically "of course!" She said, folding her hands on the table as she leaned closer. "You're welcome to come to her birthdays and visit whenever you wish." She said, smiling brightly. Her eyes lit up when she felt the child and she gently moved her hands on Kennas stomach. "That is so lovely..." She whispered. "Isn't it amazing?"Laila smiled at Chris when she walked in the door, glad to see him up. "Good morning." She said, both hands occupied with trying her hair up in a knot. She left it in a short pony tail and walked over to him, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Left " she asked, puzzled. "I left to the washroom." She shrugged. "But f you were worried about me leaving permanently, there really was no need." She smiled gently at him.
Kenna smiled and nodded "yeah, I think it's the most miraculous feeling...except when you want to sleep she loves to kick my ribs and bounce on my bladder." She laughed and took a sip of water "I can't wait to drink coffee again...and chocolate!l"Ryan chuckled "Em couldn't handle not eating or sleeping."
Chris kissed her gently and smiled playing with her hair "you doing alright? I'm sorry about last night I was so drugged up."
Emily laughed then, sitting back as the waiter came over and took their orders, filling everyone's glasses with water. Emily blushed at her husband's comment and she shook her head, laughing. "No... I could not." She agreed.Luke chuckled. "Well... I'm not sure how well Kenna does with it either." he said, sending a teasing smile over at Kenna. He pecked her cheek, glad to see her happy.
Laila leaned her head back against the headboard behind them, thinking as he spoke. "Don't apologize." She said seriously. "As you said, you were on heavy pain meds, and weren't really awake." She said, smiling a little at him. "It's alright. Last night was just a little stressful with you being in the hospital and all." She said honestly, raking a hand over her bangs.
Kenna giggled and nudged him lovingly "I almost died because of cookies I haven't had sweets after that." She promised and sipped more water "so have you set up a nursery?"Chris caught her hand and kissed down her palm "I really wish it didn't happen. Really, I hate stressing you out. I want to take you on a romantic date, I have a lake house...after I get out of here and the baby is out...I'm taking you...just us."
Emily beamed, feeling much better about that. "We do have a nursery actually." She said, smiling a little sadly. They had had a nursery for a very very long time. "Would you like to see pictures of it?" she offered. "It's got a nice wood crib that my husband built." she said, smiling at him. Laila closed her eyes, smiling a little as he kissed her hand. A real date? That sounded both lovely and intimidating. It meant opening up, getting to know eachother better. Laila was nervous and anticipating it at the same time. "I'd love that." she said, laying her head on his shoulder.
Kenna nodded eagerly, she caught the sadness but knew not to mention it. They were now going to get the baby they were trying so hard to get. Ryan shook his head "she makes it sound like I made it from scrap I just put it together sanded and painted it." He pecked Emily's cheek "it's been a long time."Chris nyzzled her and pecked her forehead, he glanced at Krissy just watching them "I'm signing you up for school next week, no more lounging on the couch watching junk TV."
Emily smiled, squeezing his hand under the table. Of anything, she was most thankful for his support.Luke smiled, liking the dynamic these people had together. "Still a lot of work I assume." He commented.
Emily nodded. "It was, but it looks beautiful and the nursery will look so much better with a baby girl to live in it." She said, beaming.
Krissy grumbled something about liking tv and Laila laughed. "You're fighting a losing battle there Krissy, school will be good for you." She said gently. Krissy shot a glare at her and Laila smiled lightly, shaking her head. That girl was a little fireball.
Kenna smiled and nodded looking through the pictures on the phone and feeling nothing but excitement for this great couple "I'm glad she gets such a beautiful room." She said honestly thinking about the less then ideal accommodations she would have if staying with Criss or her.Chris chuckled "you need to learn and make new friends, you'll feel better I promise. School isn't like it was back home, no barb wire or security screeners it's safe and you'll have fun I promise."
Emily smiled brightly eyes lighting up at the compliment of their work. "Nothing but the best." She promised ."we want her to be safe and happy, but not spoiled."The waiter came then and set down their sandwiches, before filling the water again and leaving.
Krissy sighed softly in resignation and nodded, still not liking the idea. "Fine." She whispered. "But if it's not nice I'm coming back again." She said seriously.
Laila grinned. "Schools nice Krissy I promise." That reminded her of all she would have to catch up on come Monday. She missed a lot
Kenna smiled eating her sandwich and taking deep breaths as she felt those cramps again. She rubbed them away and smiled at Emily "you can spoil her a little, all little girls should feel like princesses." She smiled at Ryan "are you hoping she's going to be daddy's girl " Ryan chuckled and nodded "actually yes."Chris braided her tangled hair and rubbed her back "you can't go back to being a couch potato you have too much to offer the world Kriss...Laila and I will be here to be your biggest support alright?"
Emily laughed softly. "She'll love her dad." She said, kissing her husband. "And don't worry. We wont have issues with under spoiling her..." she shook her head, smiling. She took a bite of her sandwich. "Are you feeling ok Kenna?" she asked gently, she had heard that the last couple weeks of pregnancy were hard ones. Krissy nodded a little, hugging him. "Ok." She said softly. She snuggled against him, trying to fall asleep again.
Laila smiled lightly, finding Krissy so cute. She must be crazy to have a sister though, such a little ball of fire. She reached over and squeezed Chris's hand.
Kenna nodded and took deep breaths "just cramping the doctor says its normal, sometimes little girl likes to press her feet up into my rib age...she's pretty flexible."Chris smiled and squeezed Laila's hand softly "convince the doctor im ready to go home Laila, I'm tired of being in a horn with a catheter in my you-know-what."
Emily's eyes widened a little in surprise. "Wow, that sounds a little crazy. I don't know how you are able to do that!" She said seriously, amazed at how much this girl had to go through for the child. Luke smiled, squeezing her shoulders. "She's a strong woman." He said, taking another bite of his sandwich. He was ravenous, as he always was, and the sandwich was really good.
Laila laughed softly, shaking her head in embarrassment, as his bringing up that body part naturally brought the thought into her mind, one she was still quite shy of. "Ok tough guy, I'll go talk to the doctors." She promised, standing up and leaving the room to talk to a doctor in the hall. He sent a nurse in to check on Chris, and she nodded to him. "You're ready to go." she said gently, helping him out of the IV.
Kenna smiled and shrugged "it's really not a big deal, it's just a little pain...except Oh my *bleep*" she swore holding her stomach "that wasn't the baby...I can't...Luke...we need to go to the hospital now!" She panicked and gripped onto his wrist tighy.Chris sighed in relief as everything came out though the nurse revealed himself right in front of Laila and his sister so he turned bright crimson and cleared his throat "let's go...I need pants quickly."
Luke paled, as did Emily. But she just sat there watching in fear as Luke jumped up and helped Kenna up from her chair and to the car. "What hurts Kenna?" He asked frantically, starting up the car in a mad dash to the hospital.Laila wasn't expecting the nurse to uncover him. So for a moment, she just stared, shocked, and then she turned around quickly, blushing fiercely. "I'm sorry." She mumbled, covering Krissys eyes. The nurse got his pants for him so he could leave the hospital. Laila stayed turned around so he could change.
Ryan quickly got Emily to the car to follow them to the hospital.Kenna tried to do breathing through her nose and gripped his hand "Oh my gosh I peed my pants I think...could this lunch date go any worse?"
Chris cleared his throat shaking his head trying to find humor in the situation "Well you were going to be introduced eventually..." he teased and got up feeling shaky as he grabbed the crutches "let's go mon cheri."
Luke broke a couple laws getting to the hospital and he pulled her out of the car, carrying her into the hospital. "It's ok Kenna." He promised. "You're going into labour." He said gently. He let a nurse get them into a room quickly, and lay her down on the bed there.Laila blushed even more fiercely, but she smiled lightly at his humour, turning when he was changed and up. He looked a little unsteady so she lay a hand on his shoulder, trying to help support him. "Oh I was... Was i?" She teased back. "Let's get you home."
Kenna shook her head "the baby is too early, my doctor isn't even in town...please Luke, call my mom and Laila..." She turned to the nurse "this is a mistake I have an appointment to be induced next week!"Chris smiled and kissed her cheek and had her help him "I think this is a true bonding moment. I love you pretty girl...and your phone is going off."
The nurse smiled gently at her. "It is completely normal to come a week or two early, darling. Don't worry. Your baby is just eager to be out!" She assured, getting Kenna set up for the delivery. Luke nodded, immediately getting on the phone.
Laila smiled lightly, cheeks still rosy from the earlier happening, and now from his words. It was a soft happy glow though, as she picked up her phone and answered it. The happy glow turned into a big smile as Luke came on the other line. "That's wonderful!" She exclaimed. "I'm getting Chris home right now, but I'd love to come see her when the baby arrives?" she asked hopefully. Luke passed on the message to Kenna, holding his hand over the receiver as he waited for her answer.
Kenna shut her knees together shaking her head "don't touch me! Luke get off the damn phone and tell Laila she's dead to me if she doesn't come!" She screamed and moaned rolling into a ball on her side "can't we make it stop..I'm not ready!"Chris heard Kenna and snickered "she's not a sweet little angel right now...you better go, I'll get another ride for me and Krissy. She is scary."
Chris shook his head and held her "shhh baby..I chose it because it's best for everyone, it's not fair for me to expect that much of you...when I have a kid I want it to be a joint effort, I hope it's yours..." He whispered kissing under her ear.
