Darren and Kaylynn

Kaylynn had gotten into the habit of taking a daily walk. She knew how important it was to continue to exercise throughout her pregnancy. She stopped by Darren's home for a quick visit. Darren was outside, working in the yard and enjoying the sunny day. They talked while standing in front of his home. Suddenly Kaylynn felt her baby move. Darren placed his hands on Kaylynn's abdomen and felt a kick. That was the most amazing feeling for Darren. An actual person was growing inside of this woman. He was awestruck at the miracle of it all. It had been so long since his wife Darlene had been expecting their son Dirk. He even felt a little sad. It brought back memories of his own family and the unexpected death of his wife and Dirk's mother. He had done the best he could to be a good dad to Dirk, and had moved on. He realized how difficult it must be for Kaylynn to be alone at such a time as this. Just then, Mortimer walked past. He stopped and stared at Kaylynn. So, it was true. He had heard it being said about town that Kaylynn was expecting. But whose baby was it? He had his own ideas about that. Darren invited both Mortimer and Kaylynn inside for a glass of iced tea. As Darren went to serve the tea, Mortimer began to talk about Cassandra and Don...about how happy they both were. Kaylynn quickly made it clear to Mortimer that she did not want to talk about Don. So, he was right after all. Judging from her reaction, Mortimer was almost certain that Don was the father of her baby. He couldn't wait to get back home and see how Don reacted to his news. Darren practically ignored his other guest and gave all his attention to Kaylynn. She was so easy to talk to. They had so much in common. The more time he spent with her, the more time he wanted to be with her. Mortimer watched the two of them. "Looks like Darren is falling head over heels to me. Apparently he's gotten over his infatuation with Cassandra." thought Mortimer.
