After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

40

—I can't believe you're going tomorrow -I let out a slow sigh, Calum caress my hair while I was laying down on his chest-

—Everything happened so fast, right?

—Totally, faster than expected I'd say -I look up to see him- but I'm happy and excited for you

—I'm excited too, I think I won't be able to sleep tonight due to the thinking and the anxiety. Arriving a place and seeing hundreds of fans waiting for you, the screams of the audience, the fact that they know every single song and they sing it at the top of their lungs -he was too focused explaining me while I was just admiring and listening carefully- I don't know, I enjoy it too much, I love doing what I do

—I knew you were missing the shot of adrenaline before going on stage -he nods- You know? It'd be an amazing idea to see you guys live at least once -I pout- I want to go to one concert of that tour

—We'll see, I want you guys beside me too

—Wyatt will be so proud of you -I wink at him cockily- I already am, but once I see you live I'll possibly cry my eyes out

—Why'd you cry? -he giggles-

—Because -I sigh- it'll be just like when Wyatt said his first word, I cried out of excitement, proud, joy... Everything mixed -I explain-

He holds me closer to him and plants a kiss on the top of my head

—Sometimes I think the love I've got for you accumulates on my chest and makes me feel like it's about to explode -I smile and he smiles back- it's like, I'd like that you could feel what I feel when I see you... Or at least express you my love

—But you do express it -I say-

—No, I feel like I don't even express half of the love I feel for you. Because it truly is too much, Mad.

I stay there quiet, he does too. It was a comfortable silence that made me feel like home, even the TV was off, the only sound I could perceive was Calum's breathing and heartbeats because I was laying on his chest

—I just realized my baby's daddy is a rockstar -I joke-

—Until now? -he laughs-

—I guess I'm processing it just now -I shrug- Imagine how fun it'll be for Wyatt once he grows up! It'll be like: "Do you know Calum Hood? Well, he's my dad... Yeah, I've been to hundreds of concerts and it's the best" -Calum laughs at what was my best impression of a grown up Wyatt-

—You're crazy -he laughs and so do I-

—But seriously, imagine how funny it'll be for him. He'll get to meet some places of the world thanks to your job... And imagine how surprised they'll be once they find out he's Wyatt Hood, Calum Hood's son

Calum stays silent for a few seconds, probably imagining all that, then he laughs

—Well, well... I must admit that it'll be cool. Imagine how his friends are going to feel once they realize you're Wyatt's mom

—What? Me? -I ask confused-

—Yeah, once they realize you're that beautiful -he explains, making me blush- but you know what's better? That I'll be the one who's with you. Wow, Wyatt's going to have the most amazing parents ever, he's a lucky kiddo -he jokes-

—I doubt he'd think that if he realizes that you and I used to have these conversations -we both chuckle-

—Right? Even imagining his friends -he laughs a bit more-
