《Sweet Creature》What's a Rutabaga
Advertisement
Kelsey couldn't help but smile as she read a new chapter in her pregnancy book. She was twenty five weeks along, meaning the baby was the size of a rutabaga. Kelsey cocked her head sideways slightly confused as Jensen walked behind her with a laundry basket. She quickly stopped him and said," What's a rutabaga?" Jensen gave her a odd look before cocking his head in confusion himself. He frowned and saw Jared walking in the door and said," Hey Jare, what's a rutabaga?" Jared stopped dead in his tracks as he stood in thought. He shrugged and said," Its like a mix between cabbage and a turnip. They look like turnips too. Why?" Jensen shrugged and as he looked to Kelsey who was closing her book. Kelsey stood, her belly at least two times bigger than when she left Texas. Kelsey placed the book on the nearby table and said," My books said the baby is the size of a rutabaga." Jensen nodded as he looked between Kelsey and Jared. The tension between them had gotten better but you still could cut it with a knife but he was tired of it. He waved Jared over and said," I'll watch the kids if I have to but please fix this. I'm tired of snappy comments and sexual tension you can cut with a machete. So please for the love of sweet baby Moses makeup or at least be friends or I'll move out." Kelsey looked down at her bare feet and Jared nodded. Jensen picked up his laundry basket again and made his way down the hall. Kelsey sat back down on the couch and patted the seat next to her. Jared slowly sat beside keeping his hands on his lap. Jared sighed and said," I'm sorry for what I said. A lot of pent up anger came out and I put it all on you. You didn't deserve that." Kelsey nodded as wrapped her hands around her belly, almost calming herself. Kelsey looked down at her hands and said,"I'm sorry too. When you tried to apologize the first time I was brat then I made your best friend tell you that we were over. That wasn't right." Jared nodded as he reached a hand over to shake and she gladly took it. Jared pursed his lips and said," I was wondering If we could start over?" Kelsey smiled sweetly as she shook her head 'no'. Jared frowned as Kelsey kept his hand in hers as she said," Maybe in a few months when I'm not pregnant and these hormones and emotions aren't making me crazy. Then I'd be glad to. Fifteen weeks is all I'm asking." Jared smiled and gave her a small nod. She pulled him in for a hug and he gladly excepted. He was going to win her back, there was no way he was gonna wait fifteen weeks.
Kelsey sat on the examination table waiting on the doctor for her ultrasound. Tom, Shep, and Odette sat quietly watching a movie on Kelsey's phone. She couldn't but smile at them. She loved them kids there was no doubt in her mind. She looked up when the doctor came in and quickly sat beside her in a small stool. She clicked on the ultrasound machine and said," How are we feeling, Ms. Saddler?" Kelsey shrugged as she laid back and lifted up her shirt. She winced as the cold ultrasound jelly was squirted out on her belly. She smiled and said," I'm good. I'm having some problems with some sharp pains in my pelvis region and back." The doctor grabbed the wand and began moving it around on her stomach. Kelsey smiled as a heartbeat filled the room. The doctor smiled and said," Well everything looks good. The baby is developing just fine. Are you sure you don't want to know the sex?" Kelsey nodded as the doctor said," Alright then. To help with the pain I'm going to give you a pregnancy support belt. Just stay here and I'll help you put it on." Kelsey nodded as the doctor left powering down the ultrasound machine. The doctor soon came back with an odd looking belt and help her sit up. The doctor tucked Kelsey's shirt up over her belly and said," It's quite simple. You just line it up on your lower back and wrap it tight around the bottom of the bump. I suggest wearing this till you go into labor. It should help with the pain but if not let me know." Kelsey nodded and thanked the doctor as she fixed her shirt. She quickly wrangled the kids and walked out to the car only to be met with flashes and camera clicks. She practically ran with the kids getting them into the SUV. She got into the driver's seat and noticed they had the car surrounded and taking pictures. Tears came to eyes as Odette began screaming and crying in fear and the boys on the verge of doing the same. Shep held his sister as Kelsey pulled out her phone and called Jared. She could've called the police but Jared was the first person on her mind.

Jared rushed through the crowd of paparazzi with Cliff his body guard. He pushed several men from the driver side car door and opened it to find Kelsey trying to calm the kids. She looked to find Jared and blew out a sigh of relief. He helped her the driver's seat and walked her around the car, his arms firmly around her waist. He helped into the passenger seat and made his way back to the driver's side. He slammed his door and threw the car in reverse. He rolled his eyes as they quickly ran off taking their cameras with him. He watched as Cliff made it back into his car and began the drive back home. Kelsey frowned and said," I'm sorry Jared. I tried to leave but they wouldn't budge then Odette started screaming and I didn't know what to do." Jared reached over and took her hand into his. He squeezed her hand and said," It's alright, Kels. They ambushed you and that wasn't right. But don't worry I'm gonna fix the problem." Kelsey nodded and squeezed his hand back.
Jared stood at the airport waiting on Noah. He finally saw him and ran to him. He smiled but once he noticed the anger in his eyes and the deep frown on his face. Noah rolled his eyes and said," I thought Jensen was picking me up." Jared sighed and walked him through the exit. Jared pointed towards the car and said," He was but Kelsey hasn't felt too good because of the baby, so I had Jensen stay with her while I came to pick you up. Plus she doesn't know your coming and Jensen is better at keeping secrets than I am." Noah couldn't help but chuckle at Jared as they hopped in his SUV. Noah frowned and again and looked over to Jared. He sighed and said," Aunty wouldn't tell what happened but I know you broke her heart. I know she really like you and you blew it. Like my mom told my Uncle Dom when he cheated on her, you were lucky to have someone like her in her life." Jared pulled out the airport parking lot and nodded in agreement. He stopped at a red light and looked around trying to find an easy dinner for tonight. Finally deciding on on Pizza, he looked over to Noah and said," I know and I screwed up big time. Your Aunt and I had a talk, she said she'd give me another chance after the baby comes but trust me when I say this I don't think I can wait that long." Noah nodded as he pulled up into the pizza shop. Noah knew Jared was serious and he hoped this time he'll do it right.
Jared carried in pizzas and Noah on his heels hiding behind Jared. Jensen looked to be clearly upset as he talked to Kelsey as they passed the living room. Jensen stopped Jared in his tracks and said," Talk some sense into this woman. She obviously in a lot of pain and I've trying to get her to go to the hospital for the past hour but she's fine. Look at her she's to point of tears." Jared handed Jensen the pizzas and walked around the couch to find Kelsey on her knees in the floor using her elbows to support herself. Jared got to his knees beside her and said," Kels, what's going on?" Kelsey sniffed as Jensen led a concerned Noah to the kitchen as Jared put a hand on her back. Gently rubbed it up and down. Kelsey let out a low groan and said," I don't know but it don't feel good Jared. It feels like I'm miscarrying again. I'm scared." Jared nodded as he pulled out his phone calling an ambulance. Jared gently helped her up only causing her to yelp out in pain. Jared sat her down the couch as he told them his address and hung up. He held her close to him as she cried trying to help her but he truly didn't know if he was helping. Jared kissed her temple and said," I got you, Kels. I'm not leaving you. Not again." Soon the ambulance arrived, Noah let the paramedics in and led them the living room. Jared reluctantly let her go as one of the paramedics said," What happened?" Jared helped them load her up on the gurney, only causing her yelp and groan. Jared just shook his head and said," I'm not sure. I went to pick up dinner and when I got back my friend Jensen was trying his best help her out the floor. She was in so much pain she just curled into herself. But she's 25 weeks pregnant and has type one diabetes." The paramedics began taking her out to the ambulance with Jared on their heels. He wasn't leaving her not now. Not ever.

Jared and Noah paced the waiting room as Jensen stayed home with the kids. They has taken Kelsey back for examination a long time ago and no one had any answers. A nurse came out in pink scrubs and walked over Jared and Noah. She smiled and said," She's just fine. Labor and delivery will keep her over night. She's suffering from something called round ligament pain. It just where her body is trying to catch up with growing baby. The OBGYN in the L and D unit will help with pain management skills and figure what Ms. Saddler needs. Another nurse wheeled Kelsey out in a wheel chair and met them in the waiting room. Kelsey smiled as she saw Noah reached her hand up to him. He grabbed her hand and said," Surprise Aunty." Kelsey rolled her eyes as she looked to Jared. She winced in pain slightly and as the nurse began wheeling her down the hall. Jared and Noah followed suit as Kelsey said," Not really a surprise. Jared's asked to borrow my laptop last week. Jared you need to learn to close out your tabs." Jared winced as he chuckled lightly. They got her upstairs and comfortable in bed as they waited on the doctor. Jared smiled and said," We gotta stop meeting like this, Kels." Kelsey laughed as Noah sat down on the bed with her. He couldn't believe how big her baby bump had. She gently took his hand and placed where the baby was lightly kicking. Jared smiled as he watched Noah smile and laugh lightly. It was something he never felt before. Kelsey looked up at Jared looked into his hazel eyes, and mouthed 'thank you'. Jared smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed. Noah pulled his hand away and looked between his Aunt and Jared. He stood and said," Alright you two. I'm gonna step out and you two talk because you both are obviously miserable without each other. You obviously care about each other because you wouldn't have called him when you were hoarded by paparazzi and you wouldn't be here if you didn't you wouldn't have called 911 and be here." He pointed at them both and walked out into the hallway. She couldn't help but chuckle at her nephew. As Jared came around the bed and kneel in front of her. He took her hands and said," He's right I care about you. You never were just my nanny. The second I saw I knew you'd be special to me. I know you asked me to wait till the baby came but I can't. I'm falling for ya'. Not only am I asking you to be my woman again but I'm asking you to move in with me." Kelsey didn't know what to say. Another round ligament pain shot through her lower back as if telling her to say yes. She winced lightly and said," Jared are you sure? What about the kids? Your family? Or the paparazzi? " Jared smirked and kissed her lips gently before pulling away. He looked into her espresso eyes and said," I'll talk to my kids, my family and when your ready we'll make an announcement. Do I have to beg?" Kelsey shook her head 'no' and brought him in for a passionate kiss. Jared went to further the kiss but Kelsey quickly pulled away holding her belly as another pain shot through her lower belly. Jared gently kissed her temple as she took a deep breath to keep from yelling out. Jared smirked and said,"That makes twice this baby has tried to ruin the mood." Kelsey scoffed and giggled lightly as she pulled him towards the bed. He sat beside her and she laid against his chest. He wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer. Noah slowly walked back in and playfully groaned. He smirked and said," Look at y'all, already back in bed with eachother." Kelsey gasped as Jared let out a loud laugh. Kelsey pointed her finger at Noah and said," Noah James, you watch your mouth."
