Perfect Timing

°18°

I try to comprehend whats happening but i cant, he, he has a kid, that he never told me about.

I've told Kaylen and took Westen and Hayes home. Westen has been really cranky lately, i dont know what it is, but the attitudes really need to stop. When i get home i set Hayes down on the floor with a few toy and go make a few hotdogs for dinner.

"Babe im home!" I hear Jackson call as he walks in.

"In the kitchen." I reply, a few seconds later i feel his arms wrap around me.

"How was work?" I ask. He huffs and begins speaking.

"It was okay, had a run with this guy but he gave us what we needed no problem, wheres West?" He says kissing my shoulder.

"Uh in his room i think, but in the living room you have a surprise." I say sarcastically, im not mad that he has a kid im just mad, that he has one and never told me.

"Oh, um okay." He says and lets go of me and walks out into the living, you can tell Hayes noticed his dad around because he squealed with joy.

"Cleo, its not what-." I cut him off before he assumed the wrong idea.

So i turned around and put my hand up.

"Listen, im not mad that you have a kid. Im just upset that you never told me, and plus, a while back, you told me you didnt want any kids or things that meant commitment, and to see that you clearly wanted those things from another girl, it hurts." I said looking at him and Hayes.

"Cleo, that was before i was serious about you, like i told you earlier im a fuck up, pardon my language but yeah i am, i said that to drive you away, but you stayed, and Hayes, i didnt plan for him, he wasnt a mistake but he wasnt planned, i hadnt seen him for two years. She took him away one night when i was out, she left with no trace until she reached out a few months ago." He says playing with Hayes hair.

"This is crazy." I huff. And get the hotdogs out of the pot and into buns.

"We havent even been dating for a year and we already have two kids." I say turning back around and putting the plates on the table getting Wests favorite juice and two cans of soda for me and Jackson.

I fed Hayes earlier with the food Emma left him.

"Im sorry." He says sitting down with Hayes.

"Dont be, just, stop keeping secrets." I say handing him the ketchup.

"Westen, dinner!" I yelled, you could hear his feet patting against the tiles.

"Daddy, your home!" Westen said running up to Jack and hugging him.

"I missed you." He says as he squeezes Jack.

"I missed you too buddy, go sit down." Jack says.

"So who is he?" Westen says pointing at Hayes.

"Hes your little brother." I say before Jack had a chance to say something stupid. Westen dropped his hotdog and stared.

"Great." He mutters and gets up and walks out of the kitchen. Jack and i sit there shocked, we didnt think he would act like this.

"I should talk to him." I say getting up, but Jackson pulls my wrist and hands me Hayes.

"I think i know why hes acting like this, let me." He says, and then i realize, its because of Jack, Jack is hardly ever home and when he is he barely takes time out of his day and hangs out with Westy, West probably thinks that now with the baby he will be completely left out, oh my baby.
