Back And Forth (Sequel To Sent From Above)

60. Why?

Remi

Already late for work and not finding Cam's shoes were just the least of my worries.

"Cammie where did you run off to?" I shout, "Mommy isn't playing this time sweetie, I really have to go to work!" I groaned. Checking the time once again on my wrist, I was not twenty minutes late! My boss is going to kill me! I thought to myself.

Hearing faint giggles coming from the bathroom across the hall, I sighed but smiled when reaching there.

"Shh.. mommy is going to hear us." I heard a faint voice speak. The giggling stopped and it was silent.

"Cam! Oh where oh where are you?" I shout, hiding the fact I knew they were in the bathroom. Knowing they weren't going to give up on their own, I decided to bring out the bribery plan.

"If you don't come now, mommy won't buy you ice cream when I get off work."

Soon enough it worked. I heard a groan and a squeal coming from the bathroom. Cam running out the bathroom and to me, I laughed when I saw a sour look on Ashton's face.

"That was cheating." Ashton mumbled, walking towards us as he picked Cammie up from the floor and showered her with kisses.

"Come on Cammie, let's go find your shoes." He grinned before leaving me in the hall alone.

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

"You're such a jerk to me sometimes." I smiled, watching him trying to not look my way.

"Cause you cheat and that's wrong. Right Cammie?" He speaked up to catch Cam's attention. "Cheating is wrong and I taught you that right?"

"Cheating.. bad!" She giggled. I rolled my eyes, checking my phone to see any if I got any missed calls from my boss but none. That's not good. I frowned. Shit, I'm in deep.

"You okay?" I felt a hand on my shoulder which shook me up out of my thoughts. "You seem a bit distraught."

"I'm okay.. Just tired." I exhaled, "Cam stayed up till 3 last night cause she had a bad tummy ache. Being a single parent sucks Ash."

"That's what happens when not using protection dear."

"I know that! But I don't regret having little Cammie. Though there's days that all I see in her is him."

"Well he is the dad Remi." Ashton admits.

No shit sherlock. I thought to myself.

"Pullout game weak." He stifles a giggle.

"ASHTON!" I laughed, smacking his arm as we both couldn't stop laughing.

"Once again, you do know I'm right." He cracks a smile, "But out of subject, have you thought of telling Harry he has a child?"

Rolling my eyes, I didn't want to answer that question. Ashton knew why but I was too stubborn to say. Yes, I thought of telling Harry he has a daughter but I would think it would backtrack from whatever he was doing now since the break-up of the boyband.

"Me and Harry haven't talked in years Ashton." I looked down to my hands.

"Wouldn't you liked for Cammie to know who her real father is? Look Remi, I'm not trying to stab you on the back with this but she's getting older and the older she'll get, it's going to hurt you both, Zayn as well when you got to tell her Zayn isn't her actual dad."

Sighing, I looked up to my mirror to see Cam looking out her window and watching everything passing by in sight. Realizing she had that same look Harry had when he was curious of things, it broke my heart.
