Sarah sat nervously as she rode with Caleb to wherever he had to take her. As thankful as she was that Caleb was finally talking to her, she was still very nervous to find out what was making him act like that in the first place. He hasn't said a word since they got into the car but it just made her sick to her stomach. She didn't understand why she let Caleb have such a hold on her, why she would be willing to let herself starve and not take care of herself when she was pregnant all because someone wasn't showing her love. How could she do that to her child? She tried to tell herself that no matter what Caleb had to tell her, her child will come first. ALWAYS.

She felt the car stop and looked up to see they stopped in front of his house. She hears Caleb sigh as he unbuckles his seat belt and leans his head back against the seat.

"Caleb. What's going on?"

"I found out something and I don't know how you will react but I just need you to know that this happen before I even met you, before you ever came into my life and also it will never change the way I feel about you. I love you and I always will." He tells her but she found no comfort in it.

"Caleb you're scaring me." She whispers. She sees Caleb's face drop and could clearly see the fear in his eyes. He nods his head and opens the door and waits for her to make a move. She knew she just had to get this over with. She lets out a deep breath and opens the car door. She seeks Caleb's hand as they make their way towards his house and feels herself relax when Caleb squeezes her hand back.

"Caleb and Sarah. I'm surprised to see you here." Caleb's mother tells them when they make their way into the house.

Caleb says nothing about his mother's greeting. "Where is he?"

Caleb's takes notice of his mother's emotions that is displayed on her face whenever Brock comes into the picture. He knew his mother was starting to care for the boy and hated the way Caleb was treating him. She was scared that Caleb was going to hurt him. Sarah watches as the mother and son practically have a conversation with their eyes until she finds herself being walked upstairs. Caleb leads her to a room right next to his and he quietly opens the door. He looks at her one last time before letting go of her hand and walking inside.

Sarah walks in and her eyes look automatically at the small boy in the bed, holding tightly to a teddy bear. She hears a television that was playing in the room but she couldn't look away from the boy. She watches as Caleb softly sits next to the boy and hesitantly rubs his hand over the boy's head. The boy looks at Caleb and smiles as he holds out the bear.

"Found Yogi" The boy says. Caleb smiles and nods his head. The boy hugs the bear again and then looks back at Sarah.

She finally looks at Caleb.

"Sarah this is Brock. He's my son."

…C…

The Vibration in Reid's pant shakes him out of his stare off with the wall across from him in the hospital room. He takes it out and feels his stomach drop at the caller ID.

"Shit." He fiercely whispers.

"Who is it?" Tyler softly asks from his spot at the back of the room where he and Jenna were quietly sitting.

"It's my dad." Reid answers before getting up and walking into the bathroom. "Hello."

"Your provost wants us to come to a meeting now so I hope for your sake you will drag your ass back to school as soon as possible."

"I can't exactly do that right now you see my son needs me and he is more important than any provost meeting." Reid couldn't help but snort out. He was almost 18 years old and his father still talks to him like he is some little child. He was father whether his parents could accept it or not.
