The Drummer's Heart (Son of Christian "CC" Coma)

➳ Chapter 47 - I Don't Know Why

[Ashley's POV]

"He won't come out," CC sighed.

"Look, he probably just need some time to collect his thoughts, Chuppy," Andy said.

"Yeah, I mean, he almost lost his father, too, and now is finding out that you're gonna have another kid," Jake said. "He needs some space."

"But he won't even talk to Johnnie," CC said as he sat down between me and Hannah.

Johnnie had gone home with Bryan, obviously upset about what happened.

"Maybe we should have just told him before," Hannah sighed.

"He was already worrying about CC being between life or death," I said. "If he had known about Hannah's pregnancy beforehand, he would have been more worried."

"Bringing Johnnie into that wasn't necessary, though," Jinxx frowned.

I sighed. "Yeah... I don't know what I was thinking with that."

"Let me talk to him," Hannah said, getting up, but CC and I stop her.

"Hannah, wait," CC said.

"Cayden's pretty upset, I don't think its such a good idea to-"

"Ashley, if not me, then who else? He's upset with almost everyone," I said. "Maybe not CC, not sure about me, but someone has to."

We all hesitated before giving up and making way for her, Callie following her.

CC sighed and sat down.

"You think that's hard-headed, wait until those hormones kick in," Inna told him.

CC was quiet for a second before he threw his head back and groaned loudly.

We refrained from laughing, knowing CC had a lot ahead of him.

[Hannah's POV]

I knocked gently on Cayden's door.

"Cayden?" I asked. "Its me... Hannah..."

"I don't wanna talk to anyone right now," he said from behind the locked door.

I sighed as Callie tilted her head at me and I got an idea.

"Okay, then.... I guess I'll just wait out here for you to come out," I smirked. "I'll just go on twitter... talk about how amazing the legendary Chuppy McSyrup the amazing boy wonder is..."

It was quiet before the door opened and Cayden's head popped out, frowning at me with a slight glare.

"You swore never to mention it," He seethed, speaking of a dream he once had and how he was talking in his sleep.

I smiled. "Can we talk?"

He groaned, knowing I managed to get him to come out. "Fine."

I walked in, Callie following me as Cayden stumbled back to his bed, where Buddah was asleep by his pillow.

I sat at the edge as I looked at him. "I know you're upset... You have every right to be..." I said. "But we only did it for your sake."

"I feel like you all couldn't trust me to handle myself," he frowned.

"We do... But we were worried. Cayden, I was so scared you or your father would have died without knowing the truth," I said.

He looked down, staying quiet.

"How do you really feel about this?" I asked.

He was quiet, but then spoke. "Not jealous if that's what you're thinking..."

I nodded. "Why say that?"

"I mean, I didn't grow up with my dad around. This baby will, though, and it sucks I never got a chance but that doesn't mean I have to be angry about the baby grtting that chance. My reasons were logical on why my dad wasn't there, so no use in arguing about if I feel jealous or not."

"Understandable," I nodded as he laid back and sighed.

"I don't know why I reacted that way, Hannah," he sniffled. "I guess I just felt angry and hurt about all that's happened, how something this serious was kept from me."

I nodded. "I'm really sorry we didn't tell you sooner, Cayden," I said. "We just didn't want to worry you, and telling Johnnie I guess just cane because he kind of figured it out, and he was there to comfort you more."

He sighed. "I should probably talk to him... God, he must think I hate him," I frowned.

"He left upset, but nothing could ever come between you two," I said.

He smiled back. "You're gonna be a good mom, Hannah."

I gave a small smile, and shook my head. No, I... I'll never be as good as Josefina was," I admitted. "She raised the most amazing kid I know, and all by herself... She wins mother of the year in my books for sure."

He blushed shyly. "But you will still make a great mom," he said.

I could help but smile at his words. "Thank you, Cayden."

He smiled as we then pulled each other into a hug.

"I'm glad that my Dad met you," he said.

"And I'm glad your dad found you," I said.

We pulled back and smiled, then hus smile fell a bit. "I should probably go say sorry, huh?"

"Go to Johnnie. I'll talk to your father and you can later come back," I said.

"You sure?" he asked.

"Yeah, of course. I'll ask Juliet to drive you," I said.

"Thanks Hannah," he said. "Also, let me know whenever you need anything. I'll be happy to help."

"Anytime, and thank you, I'll remember that. But I'll mostly leave craving runs for your dad," I smirked, making him laugh as I got up and left him so he can get changed and tell Juliet to give him a ride.

I had a feeling things were going to be okay.
