Chad's POV
California
"Hey man. Can we talk?" Ryan asks me as I sign stuff for the concert tonight and I smile as I nod.
"Yeah. What's up?" I ask and he sighs as he looks at me.
"When are you guys going to tell Kenzie about Damien? That he's her father? I don't mind her calling you Daddy but I just want her to know." He says and I nod as I put my marker down.
"We were planning on telling her once we had the chance, Ryan. I understand how you feel and I would feel the same way had our roles be reversed. With us being foster parents and getting Raelynn, Eliza, James and Tyler, it's just hard at this point to get a moment alone with just Kenzie." I say and he nods as he stands up.
"It just- I'm sorry for trying to rush it, man. It's just I want her to know. I feel like Katie doesn't care that I want my granddaughter to know who her father is." He says and I shake my head.
"She cares man. We were just talking about when to tell her a few hours ago when she FaceTimed me to let me meet James, Tyler, and Eliza." I say and he smiles as he leaves.
The concert goes smoothly and soon I'm back in my bus when Chief comes over to me.
"Chad, Katie called and said that there's something wrong with Robbie and that you need to get home. I'm cancelling the next four concerts." He says and I nod as I get off the bus with my stuff and race to the airport.
I catch the first flight back home and get to the hospital and Kate rushed to me as I hear my almost 18 month old son scream bloody murder.
"What's wrong with him?" I ask and she wipes away tears.
"He stopped breathing while I was cooking dinner and has been running a fever for the past few days. I don't know what happened!" She cries into my chest and I hold her tightly as she cries.
After about an hour they come out and I see the grim look on the doctors face.
"Your son has backflow into his heart as well as acute pneumonia. We are keeping him overnight before doing open heart surgery tomorrow morning. I'm very sorry." He says and I feel Katie's nervous tic get worse.
"Hey, baby. It's alright. They're going to help him. Calm down." I tell her and she cries out as she falls into my arms.
