A Little Confused~ The Kat White Legacy (Chapter 10!!)
steelguy:
A legacy with a plot?
Or at least an interesting backstory. :)
I love the "What the-?" look on her face when she gets "the bump."
Still cute. :)

Ha! See? This chapter has tons of pictures! The drought has ended! Hurrah!

Chapter 8
Kat woke up, panting and sweating. Recognizing her own room, she felt relieved and exasperated all at once. That was the fourth time she had that dream. The fourth time she couldn't remember anything but darkness. At least that time she didn't scream and wake poor Henry, who between his job, housework, and taking care of her day and night was always exhausted. Kat felt like such a nuisance.
It was nearly morning, so she lifted herself out of bed and looked down at her massive stomach. It just kept getting bigger!
Kat went to the kitchen to try to throw together a breakfast for her and Henry. He made it seem so easy, but her tries went up in flames. Literally. She burned the omelettes she was trying to make and felt terribly useless.
"What are you doing, Kat?" Henry asked in a disapproving and also amused tone. She looked down at the smoky mess in the pan shamefully.
"Feeling useless," she mumbled. Henry laughed.
"If I wanted you to do anything, I'd let you," he said, wrapping his arms around her. "But you do everything all the time, so while you're pregnant you should kick back and relax. Now, how about I cook you something edible?" Kat giggled, dropping her fiasco in the sink.
"That would be lovely." She smiled brightly and sat down at the table, awaiting her edible breakfast.
When Henry went to work, Kat stayed home from her job. She was too tired to go to work or to clean up around the house even. After she washed the dishes from the night before and from breakfast, she felt drained. Perhaps Henry wasn't the only one exhausted from her ceaseless nightmares? Either way, Kat settled herself for a nap.
She found herself standing in front of a sunny yellow house with bushes lining the gravel path to the door. Home, Kat thought. Just as she was enjoying the warm scene, a woman with purple eyes like her and blond hair done up neatly in a bun burst through the door.
"Mom!" Kat exclaimed in surprise. She thought she would never see her again. Then she noticed the tears streaking her mother's face. She was frantic, running, crying, and screaming.
"Sabrina! Sabrina!" she screeched, suddenly crumpling to the ground. Her hands covered her face as she sobbed.
"Mom!" Kat exclaimed again. "Mom! I'm right here! Mom!" She wanted to run to her, comfort her, but she frozen. Suddenly a man with brown hair and hazel eyes stepped out of the house.
"Daddy?" Kat whimpered, feeling herself come to tears now. Her father hugged her mother and started to lead her inside the house, looking tormented himself. "Daddy? Wait! Wait for me!" She took a few steps forward, but the house faded and she was on that dark street again. There were the two men, watching her. Then, they started to walk toward her, and Kat felt a terrible pain in her abdominal. She screamed.
Kat jerked awake, nearly falling out of bed. She stood up, disoriented, and then felt a horrible cramp. Contractions! She was giving birth!
She crumpled, clutching her stomach, and let out a groan. She was still confused from her nightmare. What was she supposed to do now? Where was Henry?
...
Just as he stepped out from his carpool, Henry heard Kat scream out his name. Dashing inside, he jumped when he saw Kat bent over and clutching her stomach.
"Henry," she said, sounding strained, "I'm in labor!" Henry caught his breath.
"Oh, that's good. I thought you hurt yourself!"
"Well, I am in pain!" she screeched. She gritted her teeth because of the pain.
As Henry tried to make his way over to her, Kat let out a shattering scream and...
...her baby boy was born.
Kat admired her baby.
How precious and perfect he was. He had brown hair and purple eyes, just like her. She loved him more than anything in the world, and yet she had only just met him.
...
The baby was named Felix. Kat had named him that only moments after having given birth. Henry was surprised, considering they hadn't really discussed names.
"I'm not sure where it came from," Kat admitted. "I think I may have known someone by that name..."
Felix's crib was set up in their already cramped room until her could have his own room.
Kat hugged Henry and looked at their son. She was wondering what who he would look like most when she suddenly remembered the name Sabrina...
