Secrets and Lies

Chapter 13: The Past

{Carrie's POV}
They always say that your past comes back to haunt you, but you ignore it and move on. I never realized that your past can hurt you, you never hear people say that but it's true. It was a normal day at home, we had fully recovered from our surgeries and we were going to go visit Luke and Caroline. I then heard the phone ring, once that phone rang my life stopped. When I pick up the phone I hear Kim on the other line asking for Brad. I call Brad into the kitchen and he answered the phone. I couldn't hear what Kim was saying but I did know what Brad was saying, he sounded shocked about something.

{Brads POV}
Kim: "Can you come over?"

Brad: "What? No Kim, we are over, I never want to see you again."

Kim: "Brad I'm pregnant."

Brad: "WHAT?!"

Kim: "Now will you come over?"

Brad: "I'll be right there."

I hang up the phone, grab my coat and try to head for the door till Carrie stopped me.

Carrie: "Brad what's going on?"

Brad: "Nothing, I just have to go pick up a few more things from Kim's house, I'll be right back."

I walked past her and ran to my truck, and sped the whole way to Kim's house. When I get there I knock on the door, it didn't take her to long to answer. She invited me inside and we sat down on the couch.

Brad: "So..."

Kim: "Yeah, we um we're gonna be parents."

She leans in and gives me a kiss, I push her off me as soon as her lips touched mine.

Brad: "Kim let me say something, I want to be a part of this child's life but we aren't getting back together."

Kim: "Ok... this is kind of a shock but I can deal with that."

Brad: "I will be there for you, just not as a husband, but as a father."

Once I left I tried figuring out what I was going to tell Carrie, it didn't help that I lied to her before I went to Kim's. I walked inside and saw Carrie sitting there on the couch, I sat down next to her and grabbed her hand.

Brad: "Care I need to tell you something."

Carrie: "What is it?"

Brad: "Kim's pregnant."

Carrie stood right up and put her hands on her hips.

Carrie: "What?!"

I stood up after her.

Brad: "Carrie this was before we got together, before I got divorced. Carrie I still love you and that will never change, I promise you I'm not getting back together with Kim."

Carrie: "Brad she's lying."

Brad: "About what?"

Carrie: "..."
