Terrible Things - A Calum Hood Fanfiction

Chapter 16 - First Word

"Uh, um, no.. Not really. Sort of, I guess?" Michael stammered.

"You haven't told Luke yet?" Ashton asked.

"No. He still thinks it's his baby," Katie bit her lip. I heard Violet begin to cry, so I went to get her from her playpen.

*Michael's POV*

"Katie, we should tell him soon. We can't let him find out at the birth," I told Katie.

"We could," she fake-smiled.

"No. We need to tell him soon."

"Why?"

"Stop procrastinating! (A/N: I know that's something you do, Katie!) The longer you wait to tell him, the even more mad he'll get!"

"I know. I just can't tell him now," she looked down.

"Then I will," I threatened, walking towards Luke's room.

"No!" She grabbed my arm.

"Give me a kiss and I won't."

"Fine," she picked my lips.

"Awww.. Just a small peck?"

"Come 'ere," she smiled.

*Calum's POV*

Later that night, Luke had come into my room. He sat down on my bed beside me as I was holding Tate. I smiled at him and he began to ask me questions.

"Cal.. What's it like to be a dad?" He wondered.

"It's.. amazing. I just love knowing that these two are looking up to me. Sometimes you feel like you have so much responsibility, but you don't care because you have, in your case, a little angel. I have two, so double the responsibility, but double the cuteness and love and everything else. I can't wait until they're older and I can teach Tate how to play the bass. Maybe Violet would want to learn the guitar from you or her uncle Mikey?" I rambled on and on and on.

"I'm so excited. We still have a while to go, but it's going to be so great when it's here," his smile did not leave his face, "I can't wait to teach my baby the guitar."

"You'll be a great dad, Luke," I assured him. But he wasn't going to be a dad. Michael was.

"How have you been doing, you know, about Hayley?" He asked, slowly. He knew it was still a sensitive subject.

"I've been getting better. Violet doesn't help since she looks just like her mum."

"I bet. I'm really sorry, Cal," Luke apologized for some reason.

"Why are you apologizing?"

"You lost your girlfriend, Cal. I feel bad for you," he frowned.

"Don't, Luke. I promise I'm fine. Sometimes are harder than others, but overall, I'm fine because I'm thankful for the time I had for her, not mad about the time I don't have with her."

"Thanks good. Anyways, thanks mate," he smiled and left my room.

I put Tate in his playpen after feeding him. He had fallen asleep soon after, and I took Violet then. I fed her and laid her back down in her playpen. I whispered to her, "you look so much like your mummy.."

"M-mummy?" She repeated. My mouth dropped open. Her first word! I picked her up and kissed her.

"Vi, your first word! Oh my god!" I exclaimed, running out into the living room where the boys were, plus Katie.

"Violet just said her first word!" I announced, "say it again, Vi. Mummy.."

She was enjoying the attention, so she smiled. With her fingers in her mouth, she repeated, "mummy.."

"Good job, baby girl!!" Michael sprung up and grabbed her out of my hands. He praised her.

"Can you say dada too?" Michael asked her, pointing to me.

"Dada," she pointed to me.

"Very good, baby!" He tossed her up playfully. She giggled. Uncle Mikey was her favorite.

"Vi, give uncle Mikey a hug and let's go! We need to get you to bed," I told her, so she hugged Michael before he handed her over. I was so proud of her. Her and Tate were growing up so fast.
