Having The Bad Boy's Baby (new version)

26. Jacob

June 16, 2021 (39 weeks and 1 day)

It has been a little over four weeks since the trials ended and both Brook and I have been busy promoting our new albums as well as releasing our new singles. During the week of trials, she had been out on bed rest for a few days due to stress and because she had some bleeding but thankfully the doctor had cleared her and she was back on her feet.

Today was Brook's birthday and I was going to be taking her out to the restaurant that I had taken her for Valentine's Day back in February. Now that both she and I have graduated high school and got our GEDs since we had finished school online after the whole Hanna and paparazzi incident. Our parents have been very supportive about the whole thing as well. We've also been very busy with our albums and releasing music. The fans have been supportive and we've gotten so many comments, tweets, and direct messages from them saying that they couldn't wait for the albums to be released and to blast our music.

"Are you going to ask Brook to marry you tonight at dinner?" Tory asked making me choke on my drink she gasped and quickly started hitting me in the back as I coughed. "I'm sorry!"

"What's going on in here?" Mom asked walking into the dining room. I coughed one last time as Tory gave me a sheepish look.

"Nothing mom," I said once I had gotten my breathing under control and she rolled her eyes shaking her head muttering under her breath something along lines of children.

"Well?" My sister asked and I gave her a deadpanned look and she huffed.

Mom and Tory soon left for her daily chemo sessions at the hospital and of course since the whole ordeal with the paparazzis and Hanna, Damon and Heather were kind enough to hire some bodyguards to keep them safe so it gave some piece of mind knowing they were in in good hands when I'm not around.

Anyway, I finished eating and did the dishes for my mother so she's didn't have to worry about cleaning when she got back. Even though I live with Brook, I usually come over every other day to visit and stay the night with mom and Tory when Trevor gets home late.

I grabbed my wallet, keys and walked out of the Josie making sure to lock the doors then walked to my bike only be stopped by a voice I never thought I'd hear since he walked out on my mom and Tory ten years ago.

"Jacob?" He asked and I clenched my jaw as I balled my fists at my sides. "That is you isn't it?"

"What do you want, Arthur?" I asked turning to him and he raised a brow.

"Is that how you treat your father?" He asked with a tensed jaw making me chuckle which made him clench his jaw even more as his eyes grew dark with anger and I burst out laughing.

"Fa-father?" I laughed and he glared, "fuck, that's good joke, Arthur."

"Show some respect, Jacob." He greeted out but I scoffed as I sobered up.

"You're nothing but a sperm donor to me and Tory," I replied, "you stopped being anything to me the day you decided that we weren't worth it for you."

"I am still your father, Jacob and you will respect me." He stated.

"Respect you? Fuck you," I replied, "the only man I have for is Trevor."

"Don't mention his name in my presence boy," Arthur sneered and I smirked.

"Or what? Are you going to throw a tantrum? Go ahead but that still won't change the fact that he's the greatest father I could have ever asked for. He didn't have to step up and fill in the shoes you left when you decided that your lover was better than the family you had." I stated. "You are nothing but a deadbeat father that only ever shows his face when it suits you. So what do you want? Money? Is that it? Is that why you decided to show your face ten years later?"

"Watch your tone, Jacob." Arthur warned and I chuckled humorlessly.

"Like I said the only person I respect is Trevor because he's my father and has been since I was 9 years old when you walked out on us. Now if you don't mind, I have somewhere to be."

He went to throw a punch in retaliation when he was grabbed by a familiar tattooed hand and I looked up to see Sam, mom, Trevor and Tory's bodyguard. Arthur snarled and struggled to get free.

"I don't know who you are sir, but you need to leave." He said his thick Irish accent coming out strong as he looked down at Arthur.

"Let go off me you fucker," he replied and I rolled my eyes.

"Leave Arthur, you have no business here or anywhere near my parents and sister." I told the male as he continued to struggle to free himself, "now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going."

"We're not done talking Jacob!"

"You are done talking." Sam stated as he pushed him in the opposite direction of the house, "if you come anywhere near this house again I will personally be the one taking you down to the police station. Now leave."

I didn't hear what Arthur said as I revved my bike to live, nodded at Sam goodbye before I sped down the road towards Brook's family home.

"Hey," Brook smiled when I walked into the house and I smiled walking over to her before leaning down and pecking her on the lips before leaning down and pressing a kiss to her bump feeling our baby move.

"How are my two girls doing today?" I asked as I sat beside her, "and my boy? Where's Gray?"

"Napping," she replied and I nodded, "we were missing you last night."

"I missed you as well," I replied, "I always do when I stay the night at mom's."

"I'm just glad your back, and I know for a fact that a little boy will also be glad to have his daddy back." She replied just as a whimper from the baby monitor sounded indicating that Grayson was waking up and I grinned, "go he'll be thrilled to see your face instead of mine." I kissed her on the cheek before I jumped to my feet and ran upstairs to our room where Grayson was napping. He was clutching one of my shirts as he slept and I smiled walking over to the bed as he began to stir and whine or again. I climbed in beside him and rubbed his back.

"Daddy," he whimpered and it tore at my hearts as he whined and cuddled my shirt.

"Shh, you're alright buddy." I murmured and he blinked his eyes open at the sound of my vice and I saw tears glistened in his eyes. "Hi bud."

"Daddy!"
