Famous Last Words
Monday, February 11, 2008
Okay. I am totally overreacting. I must have some stomach bug or the flu! That's it. I have the flu. This is the first time in my life I have ever wanted the stupid flu. I can't be pregnant. No way. I mean it's possible... NO! I refuse to go there. I don't want to. And the odds... well, the odds aren't likely. I know. Famous last words. I am just going to get on the plane, get to Chicago, sign some books and just ride out this stomach thing. It'll be fine. It has to be,






Kendall,
Well it may be the flu season but I don't that's the problem...and no, I also don't believe you are pregnant. The guilt and disappointment you feel in yourself is overwhelming and the stress is taking a physical as well as mental toll. You need to either tell Zach or find a way to finally put what happened with Aidan out of your mind. A nice long vacation with Zach and the boys would also do wonders.

Kendall,
As you have said and shown so many times Zach is the only man you have ever truly loved. In a moment of panic at the thought of a life without him you made a mistake...and now you are worried that you could lose him all over. That kind of stress and fear can manifest itself in many ways...including physically. Getting away from Pine Valley is a good start...I just wish it were with Zach and the boys.

Kendall..YOU ARE OVERREACTING! I think you have made yourself sick from being so nervous about this. I guess there is the chance that you are pregnant but look at it logically. Your husband is definitely the hottest guy in town. You slept with him at least twice (that we saw) right after he got out of the hole. Chances are you're worrying for nothing. Tell Zach what happened with Aidan, Kendall. The guilt is killing you. If you explain exactly how and why it happened, he will understand. You and Zach share this great love. You two together can get through anything. You were there for him and forgave him several times. He will be there for you when you explain to him exactly what happened and why it happened. You can't live with this guilt. Zach is going to take one look at you and know something is wrong. Don't let Aidan intimidate you into keeping this from Zach.

Kendall,
While I don't think it is the flu, I also don't like the alternative either (another pregnancy). In my mind your guilt, fear, and disappointment in yourself are all overwhelming your body both mentally and physically. The book tour might be just what you need to clear your mind.

Kendall,
Listen to your body...and no I don't think it's because you're pregnant. The fear of losing Zach is killing you pure and simple. Zach is the love of your life and as you said that will never change. Spending some time alone with your family is the balm you need...and yes, I do believe you will be fine.

Kendall,
What you need is Zach and his calming reassurance and love and you'll be fine. Your whole face lit up when talking to him as did his. Zendall is destiny!

The only pregnancy I want to hear about with you is if you and Zach were going to have a little girl to join Ian and Spike. Anything else is not worth talking about. But we're at a point now where we never see Ian anymore, so if you were pregnant and had another child with Zach, I'm not sure that we'd see you or him with that baby, either. I miss seeing you, Zach and the boys (Team Slater) in family scenes! Adding one more child to the mix won't make things better.

Kendall,
I'm sure it will be nothing. I'm sounding like a broken record. It all comes back to you have talk to Zach; really talk to him. The guilt of not telling him is upsetting you physically and emotionally.
You know from experience that secrets don't stay hidden. Remember when you told Zach a long time ago that you hate secrets and how they always come back and bite you in the ass.
Listen to heart and gut, Kendall. Trust them as much as Zach does. Your vows - "Nothing is unforgivable. Even if it is, I'll find a way to forgive you, anyway." Trust Zach to feel the same.
Just tell him, Kendall.

You aren't pregnant Kendall, the stress of not telling Zach what happened when he was missing is making you throw up. You need some alone time with Zach and you guys need to talk. Just tell Zach what happened and you guys can work things out. Team Slater is strong and you can make it through this.

It's stress, Kendall. Think about it - you've been stressed out for months now over things your so-called BFF has done and worrying about your family. Finally things have calmed down, and you have something heavy on your mind that another person keeps telling you not to reveal, for his sake. I'd say all that could make anyone feel sick. If you could tell Zach the secret and work it out with him, I truly believe things will calm down.
Add that stress to this book tour of yours, and you've got yourself a whole lot of uptight moments, interferences and separation from your family. Until I see Ian more, and the Slaters as one, big happy family, then we can start talking about more Zen children. Don't worry about that now.

Kendall: Yes, you will be fine. No way are you pregnant and I don't want to see more babies....we haven't even seen Ian for weeks.
Go to the book signing and enjoy! Maybe you'll get a pleasant surprise while there,

Kendall, I think it's your guilt manifesting itself in a physical form.
You know what you need to do? TELL ZACH!!!! Don't listen to Aidan, he doesn't have your or Zach's best interests at heart. All he cares about is Greenlee and not screwing up his latest lame attempt at love.
I know it will be hard, but you and Zach love each other and have triumphed over so much - you can get through this, too, as long as you tell him and give him the time he'll need to process it.
Hope you have a great Valentine's Day with your hubby.

Kendall stress can cause all sorts of symptoms. You have been under constant stress for months now. Your system is beginning to break down. Notice that you started to feel sick when Aiden brow beat you again by telling you not to tell Zach about what happened between you. Kendall, you know what is the right thing to do and that is to tell Zach the truth. You love him and he loves you. It is not going to be easy, but your love for each other will eventually get you through this. You know how Zach feels about secrets. It will do so much more damage to your relationship if he finds out from someone else. Unburden yourself of this particular stress by being honest with your husband. He deserves to know. You need to tell him as soon as possible and probably these strange symptoms may not be what you are afraid of at all.

Kendall...
I understand you're feeling guilty for keeping something from Zach. He once asked you if you felt safe with him, safe enough to share your deepest secrets with. You can tell him anything Kendall. You need to let yourself remember that. I remember that conversation well. Zach is your rock. You guys need to turn to each other at a time like this. Play with Ian and Spike, and just plain send some time together.
Until you remember that you can trust him completely, you'll always feel this way.

Kendall,if you are pregnant, Zach will be ecstatic. Relax and put the fears out of your mind. This baby will be Zach’s and only Zach’s. Too much time has passed since that one night of grief. Although I would love to see you and Zach have a little girl some day; we are still getting to know Ian and I would like to see more family time with him before any new additions.

Kendall, you do not need to panic because you are NOT pregnant. You have been under tremendous stress lately. You just need to take a deep breath, spend quality time with your handsome husband, and two beautiful boys. Besides, if you were pregnant, that baby is definitely a Slater!
Posted by: Judy | February 12, 2008 at 08:14 AM
Don't worry, Kendall. It's probably just the flu or too much worrying about that stupid grief sex. I understand, it upsets my stomach, too. I really think you should just tell Zach about the grief sex and try to move on. What you said today was right ... Zach needs to hear it from you, not from someone else. And secrets do end up coming out ... Plus, if you are pregnant, it's definitely Zach's. You two have had some really hot love scenes lately! Keep that up, okay? I love seeing you two together!!

Kendall,
You are sick with worry.
Please tell Zach everything now. I know it will be painful for both of you but you can't keep living like this. The love you have for one another will get you through this. Forget the book and sit down with your husband and talk. Do what your heart and your head has been telling you to do all along. Trust the man you love.

Kendall,
My fingers are crossed for you. I sure hope you're not pregnant... You and Zach need a break. What are you going to do? If it's true and you are preggers...
Posted by: Tammy | February 12, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Kendall, please tell Zach the truth. It is much better for him to hear it from you. Only you can make him understand how Aiden convinced you all hope was lost. Zach loves you. Remember, always only you, team slater.
