Ch 19

Caitlin pov
I sat at the edge of the king size bed playing with my hands while I stared at the sleeping young man sleeping soundly. His soft features were amplified with the dimmed light of the room.

Kaden slept peacefully, his dirty blond hair slightly covering his face. I couldn't help but stare at him in awe as I admired the beautiful boy in front of me. He looked just like the perfect mixture of both me and Liam. He had his beautiful long lashes, his prominent check bones, and sharp jawline. Kaden had my nose, eyebrow shape, eye shape, chin, and even ears. I haven't seen his eye color yet because we had to inject him with a tranquillizer and I didn't have the chance to see his eyes.

I stroke his cheeks softly, smiling to myself at the beautiful child that I get to call mine. A small part of me is so thankful at the future that awaits with my beautiful Kaden. I love Liam and knowing that Kaden is a result of our love; makes it all that much more real and grounded.

I felt Kaden stir slightly beside me, snapping my attention back to him

"Mom..." Kaden whispered blinking rapidly trying to adjust his blue eyes to the room's lighting.

"hi" I smiled moving some hair out of his face. He softly grabbed my hand and kissed the palm of it in a loving gesture. His blue eyes staring at me sadly before completely turning a dark shade of black,

"I'm sorry" He whispered his eyes looking at me.

"For what?" I asked perplexed. In one swift movement he grabbed my neck with both hands flipping me over aggressively in a choke position. I gasped for air as I struggled to break free from his hold.

"Ka-ka-" I struggled smacking his arms repetitively.

"Mom kill me" I heard Kaden beg faintly loosening his grip on me ever so slightly. It was like he was fighting with himself, to take control over his own body.

His hands were ripped away from my neck and he was slammed against the wall. I saw his body fall to the floor unconsciously and I stared at the person who saved me in disbelief.

"Cait" Barry sighed in concerned approaching me.

"Why did you do that?" I asked angrily pushing him aside and kneeling down next to Kaden while placing his head on my lap.

"Me? He was the one that was choking you to death!" He exclaimed with furrowed eyebrows at my anger demeanor towards him.

" He is my son Barry. What the hell is wrong with you?" I spat angrily at him stroking Kaden's hair seeing a bruise forming on the side of his left eye.

"What am I suppose to do? Apologize for saving your life?" He scoffed angrily.

"If saving my life means killing my son's then don't ever hesitate to let me die Barry. My kids lives are more important than my own" I said sternly glaring at Barry seeing his face fall into a frown obviously disapproving of my decision.

"Hey hey hey what's going on here?" Dawn said claimed rushing into the room.

"What's all this chaos?" Future Caitlin asked before turning her gaze towards me and then swiftly to the boy laying in front of me.

"Oh my gosh Kaden" She called out rushing to his side.

"What the hell happened?" Ron asked looking at Barry and me.

"He was choking her and I had to push him off of her" Barry explained calmly looking down at me with a glare.

"It wasn't him. It was the mind reader. Kaden was trying to fight him. I could see it in his eyes" I defended him stroking his hair.

"Mom what do you mean?" Dawn questioned staring at us in shock.

"His eye color it shifts back and forth when the mind reader is in control. They turn black" I noted carefully.

"Okay that's a good thing. That means that Kaden is still in there" Dawn said optimistically.

"He tried to kill your mother and you guys are worried about his eye color. Unbelievable" Barry scoffed in disbelief.

"Dad he is our brother" Ron reasoned calmly shaking her head at her dad's outburst.

"And she's your mother!" yelled desperately.

"Dad..." Dawn whispered softly with sad eyes.

"No Dawn. Without her you guys wouldn't be here. Without her you guys don't exist" He reasoned logically.

"Barry come with me you need to cool off" Future Caitlin suggested tugging at his arm sternly and Barry nodded sighing in defeat.

"Here let us help him to the bed" Ron smiled.

"I'm grateful for all of you" I smiled softly.

"We're grateful for you too Mom" Dawn smile as Ron kissed my cheek in agreement.
