Baby Can I Hold You

'That's a lot...that's really a lot...I mean that's too much...I shouldn't have that much.'



'Well you can't give it back....your earned it...it's yours' Carrie leaned over Kelly's shoulder as they looked at the lawyers letter telling her how much she was worth.



'But it seems so much....why am I paid so much?'



'Cause your worth it.' Carrie leant down kissing her girlfriends shoulder. ' Hell I think you should be paid more.'



'How much do you get mommy?' Elle sat across from them trying her hardest to look at the paper work.



'Elle... that is none of your business.......you dont need to know what mommy makes.' Kelly gave her daughter a look making sure she knew she was serious.



'Oh come on if im your daughter' Elle pointed to Kelly.' and if im your daughter' Pointing to Carrie.' then both your money should really be my business........am I right?'



'She's four and worrying about our wills.......is that normal?' Carrie whispered.



'I just think if you put your money with mom's then you will have lots more...that's all.' Elle shrugged.



'Yes well young lady your mommy and my money isn't any of your business....we'll sort this out ourself thank you very much' Kelly raised herself from the table hearing Joseph cry.



'So how much you have' Elle whispered when she made sure Kelly was out of ear shot.





..............................................





'God im so nervous......why am I so nervous?' Kelly brushed the fluff off her dress.



'Honey.... there is no need for you to be nervous....just be yourself and everything will be fine.'



'What if I mess up?'



Kelly you wont.' Carrie felt the car pull to a stop.' We're here.'



'Oh god no...Carrie there are people here....actual people here.'



'Kelly it's the country music awards...of course there are people here.......you want to stay in the car.....we can go home if you want' Kelly gripped Carrie's hand tighter.



'No... we cant....i want to but we cant........your up for awards tonight.' Kelly watched as Carrie's face light up. She knew she couldn't disappoint her.



Taking a deep breath Kelly climbed out the car behind Carrie, like most times when she was afraid she gripped onto Carrie's hand. What she didn't know was the one thing she took as the most natural thing in the world everyone else on the red carpet saw it as a shocking statement from the pair. Flash lights went off and Kelly stood frozen to the spot.



'Smile Kelly.' Kelly could hear Carrie whispering. She couldn't hear a word anyone was screaming at her it was just to much noise for her to handle. As fast as it had began it was over, Carrie was ushering her into the large hall, thats when the true fear began. Every hero she had stood in front of her all mingling together laughing and joking with each other.



'I feel like im in some sort of dream.' Kelly whispered.



'Me too.' Carrie whispered back. Even though she had been doing this a while now, it still felt cool seeing all these famous people.



'Well if it isn't miss clarkson.' Both singers turned to see Reba standing in front of them.



'Reba.' Kelly whispered.



'I heard you'd be here tonight' Reba continued.



'Reba.'Kelly whispered again.



'Well?....wheres my hug?' Reba pulled Kelly into her arms.



'Reba....' Kelly repeated.



'Yes dear Reba.' Reba turned to Carrie' Everything still the same?'



'Yea.' Carrie said quietly. Carrie had been keeping Reba informed with emails on how Kelly was doing.



'Well I know your not remembering this but we know each other...'Reba smiled as Kelly shook her head.



'No...i know you....but you can't know me'



'Oh I do....in fact you know my husband too.' Reba pointed towards Narvel who was talking to Dolly parton in the corner.



'Your manager' Carrie whispered in her girlfriends ear.



'Oh shut up' Kelly said a little to loud.





.............................................





Kelly watched from her seat as Carrie came from the side of the stage, Holding her breath she waited for Carrie to sing. She felt as Reba held her hand, it still was a shock to know she knew the little red head so well but oddly it felt right having her sitting next to her holding her hand. When Carrie opened her mouth to sign Kelly was frozen, she had never seen or heard anything so beautiful before. Looking around she watched as everyone sat mesmerised with Carrie's performance. She could feel the tears coming to her eyes, she didn't know she could feel so much love for the one person.



'I'm going home with her tonight' Kelly smiled towards Reba.



'Well lucky you' Reba smiled back, she was used to Kelly's little quirks, she was thankful the blonde was still the same Kelly she knew and loved.
