Joslin:  “You really needed to talk to her.”

MK:  “You don’t even like her, why would you insist we speak?”

Joslin:  “You needed to talk face to face about the baby ok MK, there’s no getting around that.”

MK froze in her tracks.

MK:  “Talk face to face about what?!”

Joslin went silent

Joslin:  “Oh shit.  She hasn’t told you yet?”

MK:  “She’s not pregnant Jo”

Joslin:  “I went to the Dr. with her.  She’s carrying”

MK felt sick all of a sudden.  During one of MK and Jennifer’s brief reconciliations Jennifer felt that a baby would bring them closer together.  But the pregnancy never took, or so MK thought, so she took off.

Joslin:  “I hate for you to find out this way sis but its better that you know.”

MK was stunned she used up all her energy.

MK:  “II gotta go”

MK just hung up the phone before her sister could say goodbye.

MK got up and went to the bathroom where Jennifer was showering.  She went into the hall bathroom and pulled the door back.  She made Jennifer scream with fear.

Jennifer:  “Kay you scared the hell out of me!  What’s wrong with you?”

MK stood there and stared at Jennifer looking at her belly.  Jennifer thought for a second maybe MK wanted to relive some of their sexual days but when MK reached out and touched Jennifer’s stomach she knew different.

Jennifer:  “Joslin?”

MK just shook her head yes.  She was still unable to speak.  MK wanted nothing more then to start a family of her own that she could love and create as normal of an atmosphere as possible.  Jennifer pulled MK into the shower and just held her.  MK began to cry.  She didn’t even know why she was crying.  She just felt so guilty for leaving and running for all these months.

When they got out the shower MK and Jennifer spoke.  Jennifer said she didn’t think the insemination took either but after a few weeks she realized it had but MK had left already and didn’t know how to reach her.  That’s when she turned to her sister.  MK wasn’t so mad at Joslin anymore.  MK sat and rubbed Jennifers belly.  She wouldn’t allow her to get up for anything.  She had noticed Jenn had put on a few but she just figured it was due to woman reasons.  Around 8 that night came another knock on the door. 

MK:  This door man is really slippin.

MK opened the door and froze.

MK:  “B.  Hey.  What are you doing here?”

Bette:  “I wanted to say sorry for earlier.  I was being a jerk on the phone.”

Jennifer came around the corner when she heard Bette’s voice.  She just had on the large shirt MK was wearing when she got there.  Both women’s hair was still wet.  Bette looked at Jennifer then at MK.
