Chapter 12 - The Baby Shower (Part 2)

                                    

                                          
*Kevin and Joe walk into the room*
                          
Joe: Selena, have you been in here the whole time?
                          
Kevin: Everyone keeps asking, "Where's Selena?"
                          
Selena: I just needed some time alone. I like to be alone sometimes. It helps just to clear my mind.
                          
Joe: So dark.
                          
Selena: *giggles* Whatever.
                          
Kevin: Come on, you two.
                          
Nick: Hold on, Kev. I want to know, what did you guys talk about earlier?
                          
Kevin: Sorry, man. That's something that is kind of important and in some way personal to me and Selena.
                          
Selena: He does have a point, Nick.
                          
Joe: Sorry for being rude, but does this "secret" have to do with what happened in February?
                          
Selena: *looks away* Yea.
                          
Kevin: Sorry, Nick. But unless Selena feels comfortable enough to say it, I'm not telling you anything.
                          
Nick: Are you sure you don't want to tell me, Selena?
                          
Selena: You really want to know? Why?
                          
Nick: Ok, one I'm going to be your husband soon, I'd rather not have secrets between us especially if it's with my family. I wouldn't do the same if it was me and your family. And two, I just want to be sure that you really don't have anything to hide from me. I told you so many times, that I will always be there for you. And something between you and Kevin, that kind of seems interesting.
                          
Joe: He's right. I've never seen you and Kev have something serious to talk about other than pregnancy.
                          
Kevin: *rolls his eyes*
                          
Selena: Is that alright with you, Kevin?
                          
Kevin: Only if it's ok with you, I'm fine with letting Nick know.
                          
Selena: Ok then. *stands up* Let's go to the living room so no one starts coming in and hearing about this.
                          
*They all walk into the living room, with Selena and Nick sitting on one couch and Joe and Kevin sitting on the other, adjacent from them* 
                          
Nick: Just start from the beginning, Selena.
                          
Selena: It happened after you got arrested and Kevin woke up from being unconscious, he comforted me and warned me about you if you ever came back.
                          
Nick: *looks at Kevin* Why?
                          
Kevin: You're really going to ask me that?
                          
Nick: Just say it.
                          
Kevin: After you knocked me out and chased after her, she ended up traumatized by it and I was the only left with her.
                          
Nick: Why didn't you ever tell me that I hurt you that bad to leave an emotional scar?
                          
Selena: I was scared and I just couldn't bare to see you worried. And when you came back to my house, I just didn't know what to feel. I was scared, but I still had something left for you.
                          
Nick: And what about earlier?
                          
Selena: Kevin took me aside and asked me how I felt now from what happened 9 months ago. His questions were making me so upset, but made me question about the decisions I've made.
                          
Nick: Like what exactly?
                          
Selena: If I was truly happy with myself and with you.
                          
Nick: *concerned* Are you?
