Chapter 26

Katie's POV

I sat down in the car, Tommy was occupied with a movie on the laptop in the back seat. Our bags in the boot of the car. Louis came out he had just gotten off the phone with Ally. And Paul upon Liam's request would be meeting us at the London house Saturday morning.

"you ready?" "Yeah" i reply, smiling to hide the anxiousness i was feeling.

what if he doesn't like me?

does he know my mom?

maybe he does then i might be able to meet her?

I set my head on the window and closed my eyes, hoping to relieve myself from the nervousness that was racing through my blood stream.

"Katie wake up we're here" I hear before opening my eyes. I grabbed my bag and stumbled inside. "it smells like home" I say as i walk in. I sigh walking up to my bedroom. I plop down on the bed. I could see to James house and i wondered if he thought about me. Did he wonder about me before bed every night? or did he move on? It's been almost a month. But just thinking about seeing him while here in London made my stomach spin. I decided on a walk to clear my mind and grabbed Tommy to go with me, I told Louis we were going out and that we'll be back soon and left.

"why did we leave Uncle Ni Ni's house" Tommy says staring up at me

"We had to go to uncle Louis's house that's why" i explain to him

"Uncle Ni Ni" he cries

"Tommy buddy we'll see Uncle Ni Ni in a little bit"

"how many sleeps?"

"a lot"

"I want Uncle Ni Ni"

"No"

"no?" he questions

"We cant see Uncle Ni Ni until Uncle Ni Ni wants to see us. We have to give time alone"

"a-lone?"

"he wants to be by himself"

"ok" I pick him up and keep walking. We walked for a bit on the way to the community's play ground. i set him in the swing and let him swing as i pondered if i should dial his number and smooth things over with James. My brain didn't register what my fingers had done until my phone was dialing his number.

James POV

I sat on the couch, sulking in my sadness, I couldn't even motivate myself to go to school. Luckily my sister was on some tour doing makeup with my other sister. she let me stay home after i convinced her that it was best because i needed to focus on my school work. She gave in. I go out at least once a week to a party to get drunk, i kissed a bunch of girls. but nothing could replace her. Nothing could change how i feel about Katie.

***ring - ring***

Katie's picture popped up on my phone, she was smiling at me when i snapped the picture just in time so she wouldn't grab my phone away and delete it.

"hello" i say into the phone, there's no way it could be true. there's no way shes on the other end.

"Hi James" she says

"Katie" it brought tears to my eyes just saying her name

"I'm here in London for the weekend, can we meet up and talk?" she asks

"yeah" i reply hoping not to sound desperate

"what are you doing right now?"

"nothing"

"well I'm at the playground here with Tommy"

"I'll see you soon" I ran around the house fixing my hair and pulling on my shoes and coat,and ran to the playground. she stood a little ways a way and i took the moment to catch my breath and admire her. She held Tommy's hand protectively as he walked up the stairs to the slide. she pushed her hair out of her face and fixed her beanie. I walked up.

"Hi James, I'm glad you could come" she says letting go of Tommy's hand. we sit down on the bench where you can still see Tommy, who was waddling around towards the kiddy slide.

"I'm sorry" she says staring at me, "i just really want the true 'daddy daughter' relationship. I didnt mean for us to end"
"I should've understood. I only knew my dad until i was seven, my little sister was born and then my parents got in a bad car accident. both my parents died. you have a chance now to meet your biological dad, that's awesome. I just didn't want him to take you from me." I sniffle up my tears.

"he's not going to take me away"

"he's not?"

"No... I mean as long as he doesnt want parental rights"

"Promise" i say staring at her

"I promise"

"Tommy come here" Katie calls. he walks over looking at me and Tommy. "daddy" he says running to me "hi Tommy" "you make mummy happy?" "yeah" i say smiling at him. "kiss her" he says staring at us."I can do that Tommy" i looked her in the eyes, she bit her lip we closed our eyes and we kissed. more than a peck but not like a full on heated kiss. somewhere in the middle, and it felt right. we felt right. "I love you" i say watching her "i love you too" she replies.
