Score on Me

Kat jumped out of her seat and her stomach turned. "Oh, too much junk food," she whispered; only Gia heard her.

"Babe, you okay?" Kris called through the bathroom door.
"Yes." She softly called back as she hugged the toilet. What is wrong with me, she wondered. She sat on the floor for a few minutes, then tried to get up, slowly pulling herself up to the sink to brush her teeth. Once she used some mouthwash she started to feel better. She paused for a moment to get her bearings before she opened the bathroom door to a concerned Kris, who was nervously waiting for her.
"Feel any better?" He asked as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Yeah, actually I do. Let's go downstairs and get some coffee." She suggested. She really did feel better and a hot cup of coffee sounded really good right now.
Kris made her sit down and he poured her a cup. "Do you think you should call the doctor?" He asked, his face serious.
"No, I'm fine, really." She didn't know why but she felt better, and was actually hungry. "Let's eat something. Then you need to get to practice."
"No. It's optional today, and I'm staying home with you. I still think you should go to the doctor though. Just humor me. Please?" He said as he poured her a bowl of cereal.
Cereal, she laughed to herself, I could actually go for some greasy eggs and hash browns. "Thanks, babe," What is the matter with me? She didn't have a fever, and now she felt fine again, she was actually really hungry. "I did eat a lot of those cheese fries last night."
"Cheese fries? You are sure on a junk food bender lately, aren't you?" Kris laughed. "That's it, you're eating steamed broccoli for dinner!"
Kat laughed, then all of a sudden had the urge to throw up again. She frantically hopped off the chair and ran upstairs to their bathroom. She sat on the cold bathroom floor for about ten minutes before the feeling passed. All of a sudden, her mind replayed Kris saying "you've been on a junk food bender lately…" I have, haven't I? She couldn't remember the last time she ate so much bad food.
Kris went upstairs to check on her. The bathroom door was closed. "Everything okay, beautiful?" He called through the door. "I was just kidding about the broccoli, baby."
"Yeah, fine. I'll be out in a second." She called back.
Kris sat on the bed and waited.
It wasn't long before she opened the door.
"Babe, is everything okay?"
"Well, you tell me…" She handed him a pregnancy test.
"I still think I should take you to the doctor." He looked confused, until finally it all started to register. A blue plus sign was staring back at him. "What's this? Wait– You're pregnant?" Kris gasped.
She looked at him through tear filled eyes. "What do you think?" She asked quietly, worried, not knowing what his reaction was going to be. After all, they hadn't planned this.
"What do I think? I think you just proved me wrong," Kris answered with a smile.
Kat was confused, what did he mean I proved him wrong? "Wrong? Proved you wrong about what?"
Kris pushed the door open all the way and slid his hands softly around her waist. His lips sat inches from hers. "I thought after you agreed to marry me, you couldn't possibly make me any happier. I had everything I ever wanted. And what do I think? I think, I think that this news has made me even happier, and I really didn't think that was possible."
Kat let out a heavy breath, now smiling through the tears, throwing her arms around his shoulders, as he pulled her close.
"Babe, I can't believe I am actually going to be a Papa…" He smiled and hugged Kat tightly. "A Papa…" He repeated, as a tear of joy ran down his face.
THE END
From Melody:
This book was a labor of love for me. I loved writing about Kris and Kat's romance. I loved creating their love and sharing it with you. They became part of me. When I wasn't writing about them or reading about them, I wanted to be. I missed them!
Kris is based on my favorite hockey player. I mean my favorite hockey player. Yeah, I just adore him. Anyways, each interview I see where he does a hair flip or tosses his hair I squeal a little, because I know I captured that hair flip in my Kris. I love hockey, and getting to put parts of the game in Score On Me was so much fun.
I hope that you loved Kat and Kris as much as I did.
I'm anxious to get working on the next installment of the Renegades Series, and I hope you will join me for Gia's story.
