I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went. I was bound to the things I did, and after what was said, tie up these loose ends - The Coldest Heart by The Classic Crime
How fucking stupid was she?
Very stupid. She was walking down the street of a town she knew little to nothing about, pregnant to the fullest, and her feet were hurting! She wanted to go curl under a tree with a bag of chips and just stay there. Never be bothered again.
Kicking a pebble, she crossed her arms over her large stomach, ignoring the stares people where giving her as she walked by them. This was a small town that everyone probably knew everyone in. She was a stranger in a town devoted to keeping everything old-school. She said old-school, b/c she had yet to se a Wal-Mart or Starbucks coffee shop.
She continued walking until she heard the sound of children. Looking up, she found a small playground where parents and children could be seen running around. Parents sat on benches, talking, or where running around and laughing with ther child. Kia smiled softly, as she walked towards the park slowly, smiling as a pair of boys ran past her and to the playground.
Standing behind a bench, she sighed with a soft, sad, smile as she continued to watch the kids run around with their parents. Soon she would be just like them. She'd be chasing some small boy or girl around. She'd be a mother. A very young mother if you asked her.
Sighing, she rubbed her stomach, smiling as she felt the little thing kick. "You got something on your mind, sweetheart?" Kia jumped, snapping her head to the left to find an older, but attractive, woman. Kia gave the woman a lopsided smile, shaking her head.
"No... Just a little tired and stressed." She lied, not knowing this woman enough to explain her problems to her. The woma raised a brow at her, before sauntering over to the bench to take a seat. She patted down at the spot beside her. Kia stared at the spot before taking a seat. She was really to tired to question the hospitality at this point, or ask why this woman was bothering her.
"So? How old are ya?" Kia turned to the woman, her brow raised. "You seem awfully young to be playing mom so soon." Kia felt her lips pull into a thin line. She didn't like this woman. She'd only just meet her, and she was about ready to slap her. "Not that it's any of your damn business, but I think I'm old enough to decide whether or not I'm ready for fucking parenthood, thank-you!"
the woma raised a brow at her, before giving a cool, snake like, smile, as she pulled a pair of shades from her hair, before slipping them on. "Hm! Got a mouth on you, eh?" Kia's face flushed red, as she flipped her hair back behind her, and turned forward. "Actually, not really," Kia mummbled. "Im just... Its been a shitty day and my hormones are going insane! And I could really use some vanilla ice-cream with nacho-cheese!"
The woman chuckled. "God. I do not miss those cravings. I once sent my husband out to get sardines and peanut-butter. John you to love telling that story." Kia couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. "Sardines?" The older woman nodded.
"Wow. Your husband must have some patience." At this, Kia watched the woman's lower lip twitch to a frown, before a small smile appeared over it. "Yeah... He did." Kia felt a wave of sadness wash over her, along with understanding. "Ah... I'm sorry."
The older woman gave her a look of contemplation, as if searching for her sorrow, before nodding and smiling. "No need to be sorry, sweetheart. It was a oing time ago. And I'm married to a man I love as much as I did John."
Kia smiled, and was about to inquire the name of her husband, when the roar of a motorcycle cut her off. She heard the older woman give a sigh. "Ah damn." Kia and the woman turned as the motorcycle rider came to a screeching halt on the other side of the playground, before jumping off his bike and running towards them.
"Dammit, lass! You go runnin' off like that and givin' us all a heart attack!" Kia sighed, as Chibs came to a halt in front of her, bending over and taking a breather by clasping his knees. She smiled down at him past her large stomach, as he shook his head, before standing to his full height. He looked ready to say something, when he stopped and turned to the woman she'd been talking to. "Gemma? What are ya doin here?"
Kia's heart skipped a beat and her shoulders slouched, as her head whipped to the older woman, who had her arms crossed over her chest, and her weight shifted to one side. Gemma?! She'd... She'd been talking to Gemma this whole fucking time?! The wife of the man whose child was now squirming inside her!
Oh she wanted to throw up. This was not her day! How could this happen?! All she'd wanted to do was come to Charming to talk to Sasha and Ella, her two closes friends from Charming, and announce that she wanted to put them on her list of contacts for her unborn child if something happened to her!
Instead she'd passed out, ran into her babies daddy, and had just conversed with her babies daddy's wife! How fucking TV drama was this day?! All she could do now was stare at the woman, as Chibs placed his hands on his head, and shook it, while muttering something in what sounded like Gaelic?
"Do I even wanna know what the hell is going on here?" Gemma sighed in agitation, as her eyes shifted between Kia and Chibs, who was rubbing his neck and avoiding eye contact with Gemma and Kia. As he shifted back and forth, Kia sudden;y understood why he was so twitchy.
"Chibs," Kia sighed, getting the older males attention as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Deep breath, OK? You ain't the father. I promise." The older males eyes widened for a second, before he let out a low, whistle of a sigh, rubbing away the sweat that had been forming on his neck and forehead. Kia chuckled, shaking her head.
"Father?' Gemma cut in, causing Kia to cringe slightly. Turning to face the older woman, Kia gave her a lopsided smile. "Yeah... I'm afraid I've got bad news for you and your club." Gemma's head pulled back, and her body stiffened as Kia clutched her stomach. Shit!" Gemma groaned. Kia rubbed her stomach softly, feeling the baby kick, as Gemma pulled a cigarette out of her purse.
After finding her lighter, the older woman lit her cigarette, and took a long, hard, drag, as she straightened herself up, and grabbed Kia by her upper arm and began to drag her to a nice looking, black, vehicle. "Clubhouse, sweetheart. Now." Chibs followed them with his gaze, before running to his bike, his cellphone wipping out as he pressed down on a button, most likely speed dialing the club.
The biker queen was pissed, and some heads were going to roll. And Kia had a feeling that it would be her head after the older woman ripped it off with her perfectly manicured nails.
God her life was soo not going her way right now!
