Baby Boom || Liam Payne <Complete>

Chapter 13: Uncle Ken?

"Peek-a-boo!......." I say as I pop my face out in front of my hands.

"Peek-a-boo!" I yell again as I watch Jakob pretend to be shocked. I continue to play around with him as I sit on the toilet seat and watch as he plays with his rubber ducky in the tub.

He has soap bubbles all on top of his luscious brown locks and bubbles on his face. I smile as I watch as his face contorts into one of joy when I pick up a handful of bubbles and blow them all around him. He squeals in delight and I start running the warm water from the shower head on his hair, watching the bubbles diminish. As I watch this little bundle of life play around and have the time of his life in the bathtub, I feel my phone buzz in my pocket. I pull it out and answer it.

"Hello?"

"What. The. Hell?" My best friend growled.

"Ken? Hey how's it going?!"

"You're seriously gonna ask me how it's going?" He scoffed.

"You wanna know how it's going? Fine..... It's going off the freaking charts because not only did I just find out my best friend was almost murdered but that she supposedly has a kid now? What the hell did I miss? Oh yeah, and FYI she didn't tell a peep about it to me."

Oh.

"How the heck did you find out I have Jakob?"

"Is that what you're worried about right now? Really? How I found out you had custody over a little boy you've been taking care of forever when I'm over here worried about if you had to have a surgery or something?! I was worried sick! I had to talk to Avanna just to find out what happened to you!" He exclaims.

"Wait, Avanna as in Sarah's assistant and your personal stalker Avanna?" I said trying to lighten the mood.

"Yes!! But that's beside the point!" I took in a sharp breath and huffed it out deeply.

"I know Kenny, I know and I'm sorry for that. I haven't called you lately cause it's been really busy, and dramatic, and I had only called work to let them know I wasn't going to be in for the next week or 2. With my side, and Jakob, and everything.... it's just been a lot and the last thing on my mind was work."

"It sounds like a lot has went down since the last time I saw you." Ken chuckled. I relaxed as I noticed his tone recollecting into a calm one.

"Yeah. A lot has. I'm sorry Kenny. I shoud've called you as soon as I got out of the hospital." I heard him sigh from the other line.

"It's fine, it's fine. Just don't do it again please? I was worried sick about you. It has been jam packed over here and I haven't had time to go check on my little girl." He teases.

"Oh hush. You're only like a year older than me!"

"True but that's still a difference isn't it?!" I laughed.

"Whatever you say Ken!"

"I get off at 2:00! Wanna go hang out at the mall?"

"Sure! That way we can catch up on everything!" I giggled.

"Yeah!! Make sure to bring, erm..."

"Jakob.... His name's Jakob." I said while suffering to hold in my laughter.

"Yeah! Bring Jakob!"

"Alright will do Kenny! Later."

"See ya Jay!"

And with that I pressed the end button on the screen and looked at Jake who was staring at me like I had 2 heads.

"What?" I asked. When he didn't answer, of course, I huffed and said, "Don't you know it's rude to stare." It was weird cause we must have sat there for a good 3 minutes or so having a stare off. We still blinked of course since he was only a baby and didn't know how to not blink. When I had that feeling to start bust out laughing at how ridiculous we were being, I pursed my lips to try and contain my soon to be hysteria.
