After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

We left the car and Madeline went to hold Wyatt, we go to the front door and I knock a couple of times waiting for my mom to open, when she saw us, she screamed out of happiness

—No way! My babies, you two are so big -her eyes get watery and mine's too- May I? -she asks Mad, asking her to hold Wyatt-

—Of course -she hands Wyatt to my mom-

—My baby, my beautiful grandson. Look how big you are! -my mom won't take her eyes off him- Ow, sorry, I'm such a bad host, come in -she motions us to go inside- Mad, my dear, how you've been? Why didn't you two told me you were coming? I could've cooked something

Madeleine and I were laughing at my mom's nervousness

—We're fine, we're always doing something, but fine -Mad smile at her- what about you and my dad-in-law?

—Oh my dear, I'm fine. David must be somewhere in Australia doing god knows what -she jokes making Mad and I laugh- you know how he is

We follow my mom around the house and ended up sitting down on the living room, but for some reason, I had the curiosity of checking my old room

—How you've been handling the changes of Wyatt? how does he behaves? -my mom asks my girlfriend-

—It's tiring and sometimes it gets weird, never thought it'd be that way, but I love it, the good thing is that Wyatt behaves like an angel, he doesn't cry that much, only when he's hungry or sleepy, you know

—Then you're a complete angel -my mom says with a baby voice, making Wyatt giggle and babble-

—Mom -I caught the attention of the two women who kicked me out of their conversation- I'll go to my room. Is everything still there? -she nods- then I'll be back in a few

—Okay -my mom shortly says and turns to see my girlfriend again- want some coffee?

—Yes, please -Mad smiles and they stand up to go to the kitchen, I laugh-

I love how these two have always had such a good relationship, even though it was tough at the beginning for Madeleine because my mom was so closed, she thought that Mad and I were just a fling. Besides, she wasn't into the idea that Madeleine's family was wealthy, I mean, my mom isn't a judgmental person, but she knew wealthy people don't like their child to be with normal people, we didn't had that much money but we were fine.

I enter my old room and everything was as I left it, it seemed like I was leaving on tour just yesterday. I don't know why my parents keep this, I would've built a... Sauna? Yeah, maybe a sauna. The first thing I do is throw myself into my individual bed, automatically a lot of memories started to vague through my mind: the times were I came home drunk and tried to behave as if I was sober, I always ended up tripping into something and as soon as I laid on the bed, I'd fell asleep... Or the times when I'd discuss with my parents and ended up hitting the walls or my desk. I mean, even the time when I lost my virginity to Madeleine's cousin, that day was totally insane because Mali almost caught us and we were casually mad at each other, which meant she'd probably betrayed me by telling my parents what I was doing.

I leave the bed before sighing and I start to walk towards the desk, looking at the drawer it had, I casually found a picture with Madeleine, I remember it was taken in Greece when we met again... I'll definitely take this photo home

That was almost two days before we found out we were going to be parents.

I wandered for a while, then I headed downstairs taking the photo with me, finding my girlfriend and mom on the kitchen

—Look what I found -I show the picture to Mad but my mom turns around to see it too-

—Aw, so cute. I even forgot the existence of this picture

—That was when you two made me grandma -my mom jokes, I laugh and Mad turns redder than a tomato-

—Yup, it was there -I say- come to think about it, Wyatt was actually conceived at Greece, I'll tell him that when he grows up, I mean, how cool is that? Not everyone gets to be conceived at Greece -I joke and Mad playfully hits my arm-

—Thomas! That's something Wyatt won't be interested in knowing

Madeleine was still blushed. My mom and I shared the same sense of humor... After a while talking, we ended up on the backyard, we FaceTimed my sister that was currently in L.A, she saw Wyatt and we chatted for a while, agreeing to meet but all of us, including my dad

—Mom, take us a picture -I hand her my phone, dragging Madeleine towards me-

—No, I'm not suitable for photos right now -she says and I start to squeeze her sides, making her grin, trying to get her to change her mind while my mom was snapping a hundred pics-

—Don't be stubborn -I say pecking her lips, making her blush-

—Aw, but look at her -my mom points at Mad- still blushing at Calum... You remind me of David an I when we were your age

—You've been together since teenagers? -Mad asks my mom-

—Yeah, since we were 18, we got married at that age. You know, the culture was a bit different, a bit more stiff... The good thing is that we have two kids and we're still together. I still love him deadly

—How beautiful is that -Mad's face showed cuteness- I hope Cal and I get to have a similar story

—Work on keeping your relationship strong and believe me, my dear, you'd be able to have a similar story, maybe even better
