All Is Well

Kayleigh's pov

"Is there something I don't know?" Patsy asked in her confused voice. As I gulped in fear her confusion was taken over by her full blown anger; before she could open her mouth Jay stood up from his and asked with his voice ever so calm, "Guys, why don't we talk somewhere private?" Patsy's husband Aryan offered holding the small of her back, "Why don't we talk in the study? let me lead you!" He lead the way while she gave us a look to follow her so I did while Jay, Beth, Sam and Daniel followed me. They settled on the couch while Eddie grabbed chairs for me and Pat. She signalled Eddie to sit on the chair he pulled for her and took Haley from my arms and cooed her, "oh what a beautiful little girl! What's your name princess?" Beth answered 'Haley' for which she earned a glare from her. Aryan stood by the window in the corner of the library watching us while I eyed Eddie pleadingly. A butler knocked on the door and Patsy asked him to come in, he placed a chair in front of me and Eddie. She sat on the chair with Haley still in her arms playing with her necklace. Eddie gave me a questioning look which said 'what do we tell her?' Jay cleared his throat and we all looked at him, he filled her in with all the details. By the time story ended she had tears in her eyes, Aryan placed a hand on her shoulder trying to reassure her. Beth got up and took Haley in her arms and walked out of the room with the rest of the people. Patsy got up from her seat and extended her arms so I got up and hugged her. She mumbled as she sobbed lightly, "you could have told me, I would have been there for you!" I nodded and wiped her tears, she turned fumingly towards Eddie, "Kay can you please give us a moment? I need to talk to Eddie!" I tried to walk out of the door but turned towards them, "Patsy he has already received enough threats to last a year, why don't we go ahead and attend your guests? I am sure our conversation can wait after dinner." She

nodded and both of them followed me to the living room where everyone were waiting for us while Eddie muttered a thanks in my ear. The same butler from earlier came and announced the table is set so we went to the dinning room, one of the maids came and took Haley with her. Eddie pulled out a chair for me and sat right next to me, on my left sat Beth. One of the staff came and filled our glasses with champagne while everyone were having conversation with the people they were sitting next to. We saw Aryan clinking glass and Patsy spoke up with joy, "I have invited all of you over to make an important announcement!" Patsy looked at her husband with a huge grin as they both announced "We are pregnant!" We raised our glasses and cheered for them. Dinner was served and everyone was so excited that a baby is on the way, Aryan said that he was extremely excited to see Patsy growing big and carrying his child. I looked at Eddie and saw he had a sad look on his face, I held his hand trying to assure him and he looked towards me. I gave him a reassuring smile, he took my hand and held it throughout the dinner. After dinner I went on to check up on Haley in one of the rooms, I found one of the maid and she informed me that Haley was fed, burped and she fell asleep. Eddie followed me to the room and I asked the maid to give us sometime alone, she nodded and left. Eddie dragged me to the couch and we sat there starring at Haley as she slept peacefully. I looked at him to find tears welled up in his eyes but he blinked them back as soon as he saw me looking at him, "Do you know it's so painful for me to know that I wasn't there when you were pregnant, I wasn't there to feel your baby bump grow bigger and bigger every week, I wasn't there to feel our baby kick, I wasn't there to hold our baby when she was born and it breaks my heart, it tore me in to million pieces Kayleigh." by now tears had started falling from our eyes, we hugged each other and sobbed. We were shaken in to reality when heard the knock on the door, as I opened the door to find Jay; he asked "Is everything okay?" Eddie towered behind me while I answered in a haste, "Haley had woken up so Eddie was just putting her back to sleep." He gave Eddie a stern look and then looked at me with soften expression, "Pat is looking for you, dessert is being served." I nodded and followed him to the living room. Eddie joined us after a couple of minutes and informed me as he sat down that the same maid is watching Haley. Pat had a mischievous grin on her face, Sam and Daniel took off claiming they had plans whereas Beth asked Eddie to drop her off and Jay offered to drop me and Haley home. Jay's car arrived and I was about to decline his offer since he didn't have a car seat installed but turns out he had already done it which left me no choice but to go home with him. There was silence for initial few minutes while he tried to break the silence, "you know Kay, I can tell something is bothering you" I sighed "I don't know, it is so much to take in. He came home today trying to claim us and then the series of incident trying to tell me that I am the one who is guilty here. I don't know what to do next?" I looked at him for answers, "if you don't want him around you, I can always tell him to back off, you know!" I shook my head, "It's not that, he has every right to be in his daughter's life and I am not going to take a father away from his daughter!" He stopped the car in front of my house and turned towards me, "Then what is it that you want?" I took a deep breath and turned to face him, "I need to figure out a way where he can be a part of Haley's life but at the same time he stays away from me." Jay nodded understanding my part, "Kay, I think may be you should give him a chance and let the faith decide what is going to be next for you guys." I shrugged, "May be, but for now I keep on telling myself 'All is Well' I hope we can figure something out soon because I can't see him every day!"
