--------------------------
(Calum's point of View)

That next morning before Jason woke up I gathered the lads in the living room.
"Why the hell did you call us up so early" Michael groaned.
"Please ju-"
"It's our day off Calum geez"
"Luke I-"
"Guys give him a break!" Ashton yelled above them getting them to shut up.
"Thank you Ash"
"No problem"
I hesitated but spoke anyway.
"Do you guys remember Bailey?"
They nodded...
"Wait don't tell me... She called and said she was late" Michael added.
"Yep" I answered and they laughed.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Cause it's the same ole thing every time" Luke said in between laughs.
"You're not the father" Ashton added more serious then Luke
"But I am" they instantly stopped laughing and looked at me in a serious way.
"What?...so that kid I saw last night wa-"
"My son..."

"Daddy?..." A voice called out from the hallway. "In here" we heard a shuffling of small steps until he got in the living room and all eyes were on him. He cheeks went red as he looked down and ran into my arms. I sat him on my lap and looked at him.
"Say hi Jason"
"Hi" he said quietly. The boys smiled at him and said their hello's. He smiled shyly.
"He's adorable, mate" Ashton commented.
"He looks just like you, Cal" Michael said then patted me on the back. All I could do was smile.
"What are you gonna do?"
"Take him to Sydney"
"But the tour-" Ashton started but I cut him off.
"Honestly, at this point. My son is more important...I've fed up with how rude a majority of the fans are and how unappreciated we are....I just....I just need a break okay?" They nodded understanding. (A/N: If you're the 5SOSFam and don't mob and such this doesn't apply to you but it's seriously pissing me off. Just saying)
"I mean we could hold the tour..."
I shook my head "no. You guys drive on without me."
"You're not leaving the band right?" I chucked. "Of course not. Thanks for understanding" they smiled.

"Come on buddy, I'll get you changed and feed so daddy can get himself together okay?" Ashton asked Jason. He looked at me asking permission. I nodded. He jumped off my lap and grabbed the hand Ashton offered. They began walking off. The last thing I heard was ashton introducing himself as "uncle Ashton". I sat back in the seat with a huff. "What are you going to do now?" Luke asked
"Sign his papers.."
"You're really going to do this?"
"Yes, and as my best friends..no. My brothers. I expect you guys to be supportive."
"And we will" Michael assured.
"Yeah, why wouldn't we? We've been through hell and back together." Luke added.I shrugged.
"Sorry"
"It's alright mate. We'll always be here for you okay?"
I nodded before giving Michael a pat on the shoulder. Then getting changed and such.

I met up with Jason who, was sitting at the table enjoying a bowl of cereal.
"Daddy look, I'm eating cereal with funny looking shapes." he picked up his bowl and showed me. I chuckled.
"I see that." He giggled
"Ready to go see Ms.Lilly?" He dropped his spoon and his bottom lip started to tremble.
"Oh. No. Umm" then he cried. Ashton came running in to his rescue putting him on his lap. He nudged his head into Ashton neck and clung on to Ashton's shirt.
"What's wrong buddy?" Ashton cooed. Though he tried to talk we couldn't understand him..
"You gotta stop crying first" I said. We waited for his crying to ease before he turned to me.
"D-don't leave m-me daddy" he said then busted out into tears once more. I picked him up and placed him on my lap.
"Why would you think that?" I took his hands that were rubbing his eyes red and placed them on his lap.
"B-because m-mommy said t-t-that she l-left me there and never c-came back" he stuttered. I signed and placed him on the chair as I knelt on the floor in front of him.
"I'm not going anywhere bud. I promise okay. I will never leave you..." He shook his head.
"I'm not like your mom. I will take care of you okay?" I said making the "will" evident. He nodded.
"Good. Now go wash your face with uncle Michael" he jumped off the chair and ran to Michael. Who waited for him then took him by the hand into the bath room.
"You're going to be a great dad cal" Ashton smiled as I stood.
"Thanks mate." I smiled at him before grabbing a water bottle and turning to face Michael who held Jason. I looked at him and smiled.
"Look, he's dressed just like his dad" Ashton pointed out. I observed him closer. I noticed he was wearing a black shirt with a flannel, skinny jeans, snapback, and vans.
"Hi there mini me" he giggled and leaned towards me. I took him from Mikey.
"Awe you guys are matching."
I chuckled at Luke's comment.
"Alright, say bye to uncle Luke, Ash, and Mikey" he waved to them as we walked out the door.

"Can we go to the park?" He asked while I bucked him up in my car.
"Sure if you behave." He smiled widely and clapped his hand yelling "yay" I chuckled and walked around the car to the front seat. I got situated and drove off. One we got to the third floor Jason instantly found his friends that he was playing with the day before and ran off. I smiled and turn to see Lilly.
"If you don't want hi-" she began to say but I stopped her.
"No. I want him." She was taken by surprise then a smile formed.
"I'll get the papers" with that she turned on her heels and into her office. After all was explained and signed Jason said his goodbye to his friends and we headed to the park.

I looked for plane tickets while he played. Once first class were booked. I placed my phone in my pocket and looked up at Jason.
"Oh my gosh. Calum?" I turned and saw a few teenage girls. I smile and wave as the came over to me. We talked and took pictures until I hurt a faint cry. I looked over and saw Jason running towards me.
"Excuse me" I quickly said and met him halfway. "What happened," I said with panic filling my voice. He didn't stop crying just pointed at scratches on his hands.
"Awe that's nothing bud." I kissed it and brushed off the dust. He began to hiccup.
"Do you want to go home?" He nodded. "Alright. Let's go." He held my finger and we walked back towards the Car.
"Who's that Calum?" One of the girls ask. I stopped in my tracks and sighed. "My son" they all gasps and I began walking again.
"He looks just like you." I smiled.
"That's what everyone says" that's the last thing we said to each other before I buckled him up in his car seat and drove home. When we got there, there was a note on the fridge. "Went to the bar be back late" I read to myself. It's only 20:00 (or 8pm) who the hell goes to the bar this early. I threw the note in he trash can slightly angered that I couldn't go and I was the one to blame. My mistakes gave me a blessing. I looked at Jason who was now sucking on his thumb waiting for me.
"Get our finger out of your mouth. That's nasty" and he instantly listened. I knelt down to his size.
"Wanna take a bath?" He nodded with a smile and I smiled back at him. "Tomorrow we're gonna go see grandma okay?" He nodded. "Come on" I took his hand and lead him to the bathroom. After he bathed, ate, and brushed his teeth he was tucked into bed cozy in his Spider-Man pjs and held his turtle close. He quickly fell asleep. I guess tired from the playing earlier and I was exhausted. I dialed my mom and explained that we were coming earlier then planned. Then we said our goodbyes.

The next morning I wrote the lads a note and hurried to the airport. Finally, I was excited about the new adventure I was taking. Sad that I can't have fun with the lads but, I guess that was okay. I looked at Jason who had his whole face in the window with his hands both sides of his head. "Wow" was all he could say.
"Never been on a plane before?"
He shook his head and I got closer wrapping one of my arms around him.
"Now that you're living with me. We'll be riding planes a lot more. Okay?"
"Yay!" I hushed him, smiling, the other passengers didn't mind. They thought it was cute along with the flight attendant. Maybe, this won't be so hard.
