Love Ain’t Simple||

Kylie looked to Dan, watching him leave the classroom. She then carefully got up. She wanted to know what was going on with Emily. She slowly waddled out of the room. "Dan, let me come with you." She said without thinking. She moved over to him, a hand still on her belly.

---

Craig was worried, especially when Mr. Raditch left.

@ Steve Rogers;

Daniel looked oner to Kylie, “why? I didn’t realize you were friends with Emily, she doesn’t talk to many people except for Manning who somehow managed to date her.” Daniel didn’t deny Kylie though as he walked to his office typing away looking through emergency contacts, “she only has her father listed as an emergency contact and he’s out of town..” he dialed his friend’s number. “Paul? It’s Daniel.. yeah. Your daughter just stormed out of the school.. oh. Are you okay? You’re not hurt are you? Well, that explains why she was so upset. Okay. I’ll come see you when I can over the weekend,” after he hung up. Daniel looked st Kylie, “her father was in a car accident he’s fine..”

Emily rushes to get to her father but it was going to be a drive knowing she’d have to take a break.l every few hours.

Kylie looked to him, "Oh gosh." She said softly. "I'm glad he's okay." She said as she pulled out her phone to text Emily. 'Hey girl. I just wanted to see if you were okay. Mr. Raditch told me about your dad. If you need anything, please let me know.' She then leaned against Dan's desk, rubbing her belly once again. "I just text Emily, telling him I am here if she needed anything." She breathed deeply in then out.

@ Steve Rogers;

Daniel looked over at Kylie and nodded, she was so thoughtful and sweet, He looked at her, “are you going to be all right?” He asked Kylie as she breathed in and out. Daniel was always so concerned for them both.!”I suppose we should head back to class.”

---

Emily looked at her messages, thinking that news travelled fast she huffed.’”thanks.” She sent a text back and sighed texting Craig. “Sorry I snapped at you my dad is in the hospital and I’m stressed out I didn’t want him to be alone.. you guys do the shower without me.”

@ Lil Miss Writer

Kylie nodded as she carefully got off the desk. She walked a little closer to him and kissed him quickly. "I need to do that. You look stressed." She noted as she pulled back. She wasn't going to bring up what Sean told her, because she was to the point where she didn't care. "We should head back to class." She agreed as she walked out of his office. She kept a hand on the lower part of her belly, rubbing it.

---

Craig looked down at his phone, seeing that he had received a text message from Emily. He read over, going a little widen eyed. "Oh shoot." He mumbled to himself. "It's okay babe. I am sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do?" He text back. He then looked to his classmates and friends, thinking that he wasn't going to go to shower and instead go be with Emily.

@ Steve Rogers;

Daniel kisses Kylie and smiled “adults stay stressed that’s why I have so much gray hair” he laughed. Daniel followed the young blonde and thought about surprising her with a crib in the spare bedroom they hadn’t have time to shop but he was going to build her one.

---

Emily sighed softly, she was waiting for her father, he was fine just no serious damage. “He’s fine im driving us back, I mean I think I’ll be able to make it to the shower after all it’s only a couple hours away. “

@ Lil Miss Writer

Kyiie walked back into the classroom and smiled as she sat back down.

"Alright." He text back."Please drive safe."

LATER THAT DAY...

By the end of the day, Kylie was so tired. Classes today were normal like always, but with the Braxton Hicks Contractions, Kylie definitely felt a little distracted today. As she made her way down the hall, she looked at the time. She figured that she would go see Dan, considering he had to remind her that they had a meeting with student council. However, she didn't recall there being a meeting. But she knew that as she got further in the pregnancy that she was becoming ore forgetful. However, she didn't know that there was something planned for her.

She knocked on his door, then walked in. "Dan, are you sure we have a meeting today with the Student Council? I don't remember us scheduling on." She said as she still kept a hand on her lower part of the swollen belly.

@ Steve Rogers;

Daniel was making sure that everything was coming together just fine. The baby shower was being planned by some of the students and they had invited teachers and even the principal himself. He looked up when Kylie waddled inside “yes we do, now come on, we have so much to talk aboutT.. are you feeling well?” He walked over to her, “you sure you don’t want. To take leave?”

Emily drove back home making it on time, “dad, I’m going to a baby shower I will come back as soon as it’s over okay?” He looked st his daughter “go have fun sweetheart I’ll be okay.”

@ Lil Miss Writer

Kylie shook her head. "No, I don't want to take a leave." She said sternly. "We're just experiencing Braxton Hicks Contractions still." She spoke as she rubbed the lower part of her belly more. "I just can't believe I forgot this meeting." She sighed as she looked to him."I'm feeling good by the way." She said as she went to open the door but felt a strong pain, causing her to double over slightly. "Oooh...."

---

Craig was helping out with getting things ready for the Baby Shower. Hazel had been giving direct orders to everyone on decor and all. He kept thinking about Emily, hoping that she was going to be okay. He had text her, telling her that he hoped her dad was doing okay and that he was here if she needed anything. He then went back to get things ready.

@ Steve Rogers;

Daniel nodded, “all right it was a suggestion.” Daniel hoped that Kylie would enjoy this baby shower the students planned for her, it was really nice of them, “it’s at the gym, come on.” As he led the way, he made sure to text one of the staff to let them know they were coming.

Ella sighed softly as she helped her dad out of the car and helped him inside the house. “I’m Just going to stay here with you..” he wouldn’t let her though. “Go Emily, have fun, I’ll be here all night, have some fun.” Emily sighed, messaging Craig. “Okay, I’m comjng. Is it still at the school?”

@ Lil Miss Writer

"The gym?" She looked up to him a little confused. "Since when do we have the Student Council Meetings in the Gym?" She asked as she waddled with Dan. She shrugged, just going with it. "I almost told you to cancel today's meeting now, and just let me go home." She spoke as she rubbed her lower back.

---

"Yes it's in the gym." He quickly repeated. He was so glad that she text him back. He was glad that she was coming, but at the same thing he was opening that her dad was doing okay. 'How is your dad' He text her.

@ Steve Rogers;

Emily made it isn’t in time, “sorry I’m late.. hey everyone..” Emily watched as everyone finished up. “Is yoour dad okay?” Hazel asked her. Emily nodded “yeah, he’s all right but I’m not letting not him drive for awhile” she looked for her boyfriend. “Hey..” She’s patted his back.

Daniel shook his head, “well, I normally would but you’ll want to be at this meeting” he smiled softly. Daniel led the way and knocking on the
Gym double doors. “We’re coming in...” he opened the door, letting Kylie wobble in.

@ Lil Miss Writer

Hazel walked up to Emily and hugged her. "You're not late. Kylie isn't here yet." She said. "But seriously, I'm glad to hear that your dad is okay."

"Hey." Craig said with a smile, walking over to Emily. "I'm glad your dad is okay." He wrapped an arm around her and smiled, kissing the side of her head.

When they heard a knock on the Gym Doors, everyone got into place.

Kylie looked really confused at Dan when he announced that they were coming in. There nothing special about a Student Council Meeting, so why would it be in the Gym and why announcing that they were coming in...

"Oh yes, remind everyone that the heavily pregnant girl is a slow walker." Kylie rolled her eyes as she stepped inside.

The minute Kylie walked in, everyone smiled and cheered, "SURPRISE!"

Kylie gasped, seeing the banner and realizing this was a baby shower. "Oh...guys..." She got all teary-eyed, looking at all her friends and then Mr. Raditch.

@ Steve Rogers;

Emily nodded “thanks guys. Emily his with the rest of the group wondering when Kylie would be comjng.

Daniel shook his head “that’s not why I said that” he chuckled. After heflowed Kylie he noticed her face light up. He smiled watching her excitement l.

Daniel pathed Kylie’s back gently and looked around the gym, it looked great. He let her swept up by her friends.

Sean walked over and have Kylie a hug and a small kiss on her cheek, “glad you didn’t go home now aren’t you?”

@ Lil Miss Writer

Kylie smiled when she felt Dan pat her back gently. She smiled, hugging Sean when he walked over her. She blushed a little when he kissed her cheek. "Yeah, I guess so." She giggled as she wiped a tear away from. her cheek. "You guys are something else."

Craig looked to Emily and smiled, wrapping an arm around her waist. They walked over to Kylie and smiled, hugging her and saying hello. They then went together to go sit at one of the tables. "So." He said, looking to her. "How are you truly doing?"

@ Steve Rogers;

Sean watched as Kylie took everything in, this was exciting to see Kylie her happy and excited. He rubbed her back, “we just wanted to let you know how much we love you, and can’t eait to meet the baby. Have you given any thought on names?” He asked.

---

Emily looked at Craig nodding “Yeah, i was just scared. Craig, my dad means the world to me, he’s all the family I have I don’t want to lose him.” She explained. “Sorry I became so distant and weird.”

@ Lil Miss Writer

Kylie smiled. She stood there, feeling relaxed as Sean rubbed her back. Well I definitely feel loved." She smiled. She looked over to Dan as he chatted with some of the teachers. She just smirked, looking over to Sean again. "I have. I am really like the name Henry Ryder." She said. "What do you think?"

---

Craig nodded, he completely understood what she was saying. "No," He said, shaking his head. "You don't need to be apologize. You are completely fine.' He reassured her and kissed her.

@ Steve Rogers;

Sean smiled and nodded “that’s an interesting name, have you talked to him about it?” He put emphasis on the “him” Sean looked at how glowing Kylie was, just so beautiful. “Well I’ll leave you with your friends.” He pulled her into a hug.

---

Emily kisses him back. “I’m going back home after this, you want to meet my dad? He’s been nagging me about meeting you.” She nodded. Emily grabbed a cup and poured some punch.

@ Lil Miss Writer

"I need to talk to him about it. But I think he'll like it." She smiled as she ran a hand across her underbelly. "Sean you're a friend too." She reminded him as she hugged him. When they pulled back, Kylie looked to him. "Thank you Sean for everything." She said and kissed his cheek. She then waddled her way over to Dan. "Thank you Mr. Raditch." She said as she sat down, giving him that look.

---

Craig looked at her, a little surprised when she told him that her dad was wanting to meet him. 'Oh...okay." He said slightly nervous. He remained quiet as he followed Emily, watching as she grabbed a cup for punch. He followed in suit, picking up a cup and pouring some for himself. Take a small swig of it, Craig smirked. "This is good." He smiled. "Well Emily, I would love to meet your dad."
