After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

Wyatt Theodore Hood

—This is the most beautiful thing I've made -Calum says without taking his eyes off Wyatt-

—Stop! Stop seeing him -I laugh, he looked at me offended-

—Excuse me? Are you asking me to stop lookin at my son? That's impossible. He's the cutest thing my eyes have seen

—I feel a little offended now -I joke putting one hand on my chest-

—Oh, sorry. You're the second cutest thing my eyes have seen, babe.

It's been months, almost the year since Wyatt was born. It's been a rough and complicated year, a lot I'd say, we had a lot of personal problems, then the madness of anger of some fans by finding out that his idol had become a father without even telling them. How did they found out? I don't know, Calum and I had decided to keep this in secret, something private, because I didn't wanted Wyatt to be exposed to the public eye but due to the scandal, Calum had to admit that he became a father. Obviously the rage of anger was insane, after days, the fandom found me, but of course, not everyone behaved badly towards us, there were a lot of supportive message to Calum and I, but I decided to ditch the social media for a while. Most of the messages were destructive and I started to feel harassed. Why would they? Didn't they knew his idol was going to find the one and do normal things like starting a family? after all, he's a human too.

Flashback

—Mad, babe. Our son is almost 1 month old, when am I going to publish something about him?

—I don't know, I don't think it's time yet -I answered annoyed-

—But you know that eventually I'll have to, right? I owe it to them

—Why would you owe it to them? You don't owe anything of your private life, much less relative to my son! -Anger was flooding my veins-

—Babe, calm down. Remember, we've talked about this before, we said that when the baby was born I was going to tell them about him, it's been weeks and you don't agree with it yet

—I don't agree with it and I won't, Calum. I don't want your fans to feel like they have the right to point their finger at my son or me

—They're not like that, Mad. They support me

—Exactly, they support you not me -I shout, angry-

—And that's the reason why they will support my son, and they'll end up falling in love with you too as soon as they see how beautiful you're on the inside and outside -he says in a soothing voice and I sigh-

—Thomas, do whatever the fuck you want to. I don't care anymore of what you want to do

Calum sighs, tired, trying to keep his sanity

—Whatever

End of Flashback

—Babe, what do you want for dinner?

—I was thinking we could order pizza, Wyatt didn't sleep well last night and you spent most of the night awake. Do you agree? And I wash the dishes -Cal suggests-

—Agreed -I kissed him on the lips- then I'll order it. Which one do you want, same as usual? -I ask grabbing my phone-

—Yup, pepperoni -he comes closer to me and pecks my lips- but go, because if we keep kissing each other we won't be ordering anything any time soon -we laugh and he slaps my ass-

Sometimes, I put on retrospective Calum's and I relationship, it was a complete chaos, it was pretty toxic. I didn't realized, but the jealous that I had were on another level, nothing healthy... And Calum too, sometimes his jealous were over the top, sometimes he even felt jealous because of Luke and I. I mean, Luke became like a brother to me. Thankfully, Wyatt made us change, maybe if Wyatt wasn't born, we would have split up already. The "married" life is more complicated than it looks like. Calum and I haven't gotten married but we live together which is almost the same.

I was dialing Domino's Pizza when I hear my son crying

—Babe, Wyatt woke up -I shout to Calum-

—I'm coming -he shouts back, making me smile-

After ordering the two pizzas I go back to our bedroom where Cal was playing with Wyatt

—Do you remember when he was a little baby? -he asks as he feels my presence but without taking his eyes out from Wyatt- I remember everything was a chaos, you were a chaos, I was a chaos, Wyatt himself was a chaos... I used to think, am I going to become a good father any day? I thought this wasn't for me, in fact, I have to admit that I wasn't sure to have kids before you know, having sex with you -he paused and sighed, Wyatt was sitting on his legs- but now I think it's the best thing that has ever happened to me. Being a dad is so... precious

—Wyatt is identical to you -I state the obvious- Ironic, isn't it? I carried him inside of me for nine months, suffered contractions, the freaking pain of giving birth and he's your copy! He doesn't look like me not a tiny bit -Calum laughs-

—He is identical to you when he's hungry, getting all grumpy and stuff -he chuckles and I act offended, playfully hitting him on his arm-

—Is not funny

—It is to me, come here -he puckers his lips for me to kiss him, so I did-
