The Bad Boy's Baby

Chapter Twenty One

"Kaleb,  he's a new-born you can't teach him dance moves yet." I laughed.

Kaleb has been trying to get Daniel into the dancing spirit, but being five days old Kaleb doesn't realize our son cannot walk yet.

"Oh please, he will be doing the Cupid shuffle here in an hour." He winked and I just shook my head.

"Have you heard from Jane lately?" I asked curiously.

Kaleb stopped what he was doing and turned to face me.

"Actually no, with everything going on lately I haven't had a chance to see how she was. I feel bad about it, I mean what if that's really my kid?" He asked sitting down.

"Tyler says it might be his. So, don't feel so bad about it just yet. I can only imagine the drama this family will have if that is Tyler's baby." I said picking my sweet baby boy up to feed him.

"I will never get tired of seeing you feed him." Kaleb smiled. "But I was thinking maybe you could start breast fee-"

"No." I simply said then smiled. "Such a perv, Kaleb Presley."

"Only for you baby. Hey, in my defense they say its healthy." He said throwing his hands up and walking to the fridge.

I just stared at his back and smiled.

The phone rang, and Kaleb went to pick it up and I heard him arguing with someone over the phone. I thought maybe it was Jane, but Kaleb came back into the kitchen red as a tomatoe so whoever of was really upset him.

"Kaleb what's wrong?" I asked.

"Mr.Corino got my house number, he just called threatening me, so he must have my address too. We have to get out of here!" He said in panic and I just nodded and went to get Daniels things.

"Where do you suppose we go Kaleb?" I asked frustrated.

"I-I don't know. A hotel maybe?" He stuttered while throwing things around nervously.

"We can't stay in a hotel with a newborn baby Kaleb!" I yelled.

"Please stop baby, just trust me. Everything will be Ok-" Before he finished his sentence we heard glass break downstairs which I assumed was a window. My eyes went wide and I held Daniel safely to my chest. Kaleb's eyes went wide as a baseball and he ordered for me to hide inside the closet and call the police. He handed me a gun, which I didn't really want to be holding but I didn't want to fight with him on this, and both of us just wanted to keep Daniel safe.

I clutched Daniel to my chest patting his butt while on the phone with the 911 operator, with hopes that Kaleb is okay downstairs doing whatever he was doing. Seconds passed and I heard loud commotion from downstairs and my heart was beating franticly.

Ma'am, where are you? The lady asked.

I'm in the upstairs bedroom closet, my boyfriend told me to stay in here, I have my five day old son with me. I whispered.

Stay there, help is on the way.

Five minutes passed, no sirens and no help. It was silent downstairs and I needed answers, and the operator said the police was almost here but I couldn't wait any longer. I placed Daniel into a pilot inside the closet, making sure he wouldn't roll over and making sure he was fast asleep but I left the door open so he could get air. I gave up on the 911 Operator and hung up, I was getting aggravated and I couldn't tell her I was putting myself into the action.

I slowly went downstairs and found nobody in sight. The coffee table in the front lobby beside the front door was smashed and I seen blood and started to panic. I heard voices from Kalebs fathers study and proceeded to it with the gun Kaleb gave me in my hand.

All I could see was Kaleb kneeled down with a tall Guy holding his arms and Mr.Corino standing in front of him. They turned their attention to me and Kaleb went wide eyed and looked at me in disbelief.

"Maci! I told you to stay in the damn closet!" He roared.

Shakily, I held the gun up and pointed it to Mr.Corino and he just smirked which made me sick to stomach.

"Ahh. Miss.Bennett, what a lovely surprise." He smiled. "Your boy toy here didn't keep his promise, I'm sorry you have to witness this." He smirked again.

"What is it that you want? Money? I can write you a check right now just let him go!" I yelled.

He laughed at that, and I just looked at him in disgust.

"I want him to learn some manners. How can I let him get by with fucking me over? That would send a bad example Maci, then everyone will want special treatment." He smiled and started walking closer to me.

"You see, Kaleb made the mistake in paying for his fathers debts. He should have stayed clear of me, and then I would have just killed his father myself, instead of him doing it." He looked at Kaleb.

"I didn't kill my father!" Kaleb yelled.

"Yes you did. You kept coming back to me for drugs for that peice of shit. You might as well have pulled the trigger. You kept his addiction going." He shook his head.

"No-no, I-i didn't! Y-ou know nothing!" Kaleb cried. It broke my heart to see him in that state, and I just wanted to help him.

"Are you so great?" I asked Mr.Corino. "Maybe you don't care about anything but those fur coats of yours, but selling drugs doesn't make you any better." I said to the disgusting pig in front of me.

"That's where your wrong sweet heart. I don't sell them, my bitches do." He laughed and looked at Kaleb who had his head down. "He's pathetic, look at him, he can't even hold his head up. How can he be a father when he's just like his?" He laughed.

"Shut up you disgusting waste of space! Your the peice of shit here! Kaleb is more of a man than you will ever be. Your a coward." I said with full confidence believing every word I said.

Mr. Corino went from laughing, to a full blown evil look on his face. I am not going to fib, I was scared. All of this scared me to death, but what kind of person would I be to let someone stand there and make someone I love feel like dirt? This has gone on way to long, and my son needs me, I'm ending this now.

Mr. Corino didn't speak, I heard sirens getting closer and closer, and knowing that he could make it out of here before they got here I worked on impulse. I shot him.

I never picture me, nerdy, quiet Maci Bennett to shoot someone, let alone a drug dealer. The bullet pierced his side and he went down in agony. Apart of me felt bad, but he wasn't going to escape this one. I couldn't go on with my life having to watch my back everyday.

The tall man holding Kaleb watched in disbelief at his boss getting shot, and then tried running. Kaleb, being the handsome and strong man he is gave him one good punch to the face and he was out Cold.

The cops poured in, and everythig else went by in a blurr. All I remember was making my way up to Daniel, and when I got to him he was still sleeping so peacefully. He was so innocent, no care in the world and I just wanted to hold him forever. Kaleb joined us after getting his face stitched up, I'm guessing that's where the blood came from. We huddled together and held eachother for what seemed like hours. I couldve stranded there longer with my family, but my mom and Brother had rushed in and was going crazy asking questions so we had to let go but not forever only temporarily.
