*Carry On*

**Kaylyn's POV**

Luckily the delay that they were announcing for our flight got cancelled because my lower back is killing me. I've always been super active and sitting for hours on end does not agree with me, and apparently Madelyn hates it too because she's been super agitated the entire flight.

I lovingly rub my hands over my belly as the wheel touch down on the landing strip. I shove my way off the plane and towards the baggage claim. I just want to get my shit and wrap myself around Brian and never let him go again. Despite the drama with Aubrey and the loss of my mother, I have been absolutely miserable these past few weeks and I realize now that I will never be truly happy without Brian by my side.

Suddenly I'm hit with a wave of nausea that has nothing to do with my pregnancy....is that ALEX talking to Tempe, and where on earth is Brian?!“Alex? What the hell are you doing here?” I spit harshly as his blue eyes glance over my body, lingering a little too long on my belly and swollen breasts for my liking.

"You're pregnant" he says with a furrowed brow but I'm not sure if his tone is implying a question or a statement. “Is it the rockstar's, or is there someone new?” he asks bitterly and I'm seeing red.

“Why the hell does it matter to you?” I snark out and place my hand on my hip. He has the fucking nerve to scoff and shake his head at me in disbelief. He doesn't understand that he has no right to pry into my life anymore. He decided to cheat, which in turn stressed me out so much that I lost MY baby....I would never let myself consider the baby I lost to be OUR child because I knew I would raise it alone after I found out about Kate.

“What the hell is going on here?” Brian's voice booms and my eyes meet his for the first time in weeks. God I've missed him.

I glance at Alex, who is standing with a smug posture. Knock it off you fucking jerk! If you ruin my relationship I will destroy you!!! “So this must be the lucky father.” he snips out bitterly towards Brian, who in turn, clenches his jaw in anger. He's probably wonder who the fuck Alex is and why it's any of his business about our baby.

Brian opens his mouth to argue but I am honestly sick of fighting. I push past Alex and fling my arms around Brian's neck and tug his lips towards mine. He hesitates briefly, with his eyes still narrowed at Alex, but soon let's them slip closed and kisses back passionately. "We've missed you" I mumble out against his lips and feel them curl up into a smile.

Finally... I'm home.

**Tempest's POV**

Kay takes off running and attaches herself at the mouth with Brian. I'm so glad that they are finally back together because the moping from both parties was really starting to get under my skin. Suddenly, I hear Alex scoff under his breath at the two of them kissing and my blood begins to boil.

I quietly tell Ashley to stay with the lovebirds before grabbing Alex forcefully by the front of his shirt. I drag him out of airport and shove him forcefully against the side of the building. "You have some fucking nerve to scoff at her happiness after everything that you put her through!!" I spit and attempt to get in his face but he's even taller than Jimmy, so that's not happening.

He lurches forward and I involuntarily flinch, causing him to smirk slightly. Fucking asshole gets off on hurting people and fear...I have no idea why Kay fell for him. "Oh Tempest, you act like it didn't hurt me that Kaylyn KILLED my child...I honestly, would have loved if she would have had it."

"Why? So you had a legal right to stalk her because she had your baby....who died tragically and was NOT murdered or aborted!!" I rage and slowly back away from his intimidating advance on my petite form. "What the fuck are you even doing here? Did you go to Barbara's funeral and then follow her here?!"

Suddenly he freezes and his expression changes from aggravated to genuinely upset. "Barbara died?" he whispers out sadly and I realize that maybe to was just a tragic coincidence that he was in Denver airport at the same time that we were.

"She died a last week of an inoperable brain tumor that they found too late to even attempt to treat" I state and he actually let's a tear fall from his ocean blue eyes. He sniffles back the tears and attempts to step around me to head back inside. "Where are you going?" I ask, even though I have a pretty good idea.

"I need to see Kaylyn..." he says and I block his way. I know that he has a good 13" of height over me but I'm not backing down. "Tempe please, I need to give her my condolences" he argues.

"No...Alex, if you go back in there you are only going to make her upset. She needs Brian's comfort, not yours. Also, when he finds out that you are the asshole who sucker-punched her, he is going to put YOU in the hospital. I'm not warning you because I'm on your side, or because I don't think that you deserve to have your ass kicked for what you did to my best friend. I'm telling you because I know Kaylyn wouldn't want to be dragged into the PR nightmare of a famous rockstar and actor duking it out in a public airport, and you need to respect her enough to do that" I state firmly.

"But I need to tell her-" he argues before I cut him off.

"Send her a sympathy card if you really want to let her know you're sorry for her loss" I say and he lets out a defeated sigh. I know he means well with his intentions but trust me, now is not the right time.

Will Brian question Kaylyn who Alex was?

How will he react if he does find out?
