Katelyn POV
I was in Kaid's hospital room, crying my eyes out. They hurt so bad because they were raw. He still was unconscious. I wanted for him so badly to wake up, but every time I looked, he was still there, laying lifeless.
"Can I get you something?" I looked back at Kendall. I was surprised he was a still here, but I knew he was going to leave soon and I was going to chew him out when he did. I shook my head.
"No." He nodded and sat next to me. He looked at Kaid and then looked at me.
"Maybe you should go home for a while, then come back." I shook my head fast. There was no way in hell was leaving my baby's side, I let him leave once and now look where he ended up, I was never gonna let him leave my sight, ever again.
"No, Kendall, he ended up in here because I let him out of my sight once." He sighed and nodded.
Then, he scoffed, "Were you too busy with your boyfriend?" Was he serious right now? He was gonna fight with me in front of our unconscious son? I turned to him slowly, I was about to let loose.
"First of all, he's not my boyfriend, even if he was, it's none of your business. Second of all, he cares about Kaid just as much as you do, or even if you do." He was staring daggers at me.
"Apparently it is my business if he was the reason you were being fucking distracted from watching our son!" I grabbed Kaid's hand.
"Don't use that language in front of him." Kendall sighed.
"Why does it matter? He's not even..." He stopped his sentence. I praised him mentally for doing that because I really didn't want to hear that Kaid wasn't conscious. I started crying again, damn Kendall. I laid my head on Kaid's hand, I was a mess. Any mother would be.
I sobbed quietly, but loud enough for anyone in the room to hear. "Katelyn..." I didn't even acknowledge Kendall, I didn't care about anyone else but Kaid. I took a peek at Kendall. He looked sick, like he was going to throw up, I actually think seeing Kaid like this has taken a toll on him.
"Katelyn..." He said again.
"What?" My voice muffled from the sheets.
"I'm gonna go." See, I told you! I told you! He was going to leave.
"Are you serious, you're gonna leave when your son is like this?!" I stood up. He stood up as well.
He shook his head. "Listen, ok believe it or not, I-I-I'm sad, hurt and a mess just like you. More than you even, I don't want to see him like this. I told you from the start, I don't want anything to do with Kaid. I don't have time, I have a career to pursue."
"I really thought seeing him like this would maybe put some sense in your damn head, but yet you have your head shoved so far up your ass and in your fame and career, you don't even focus or pay attention to the ones you love!"
"I picked him up on the side of the fuckin' road! I could've left him there!"
"Oh anybody would've done that if they saw a six year old on the side of the road, they'd be the devil if they didn't. Even you, an asshole, would've done that." He picked up his coat.
"Katelyn, I'm going." James walks in. Kendall looks at him. "What the fuck are you doing here?"
He got in Kendall's face, "I'm here for Kaid, something you'd never do."
"I'm here now aren't I?" James looks down at Kendall's jacket.
"Looks like you're on your way out." Kendall looked like he was going to punch him in the face, I stepped between them.
"You know what Kendall? Just go, go like you always do, and this time, don't come back." He looked down at me, then at James. He turned around and looked at Kaid, he grabbed his hand and squeezed it. Then, he whispered something in his ear. I didn't know what he said though.
He stood up straight again and then walked out the room.
"Man what a jerk." I nodded at James.
"That's just who he is James, don't even dawn on it." He gave a slight smile and nodded.
"I'm gonna be here for you though, all the way." I heard stirring and I quickly turned around and my eyes watered.
"Kaid..." His green eyes fluttered open and they shifted to me. He held out his arms and I ran over to him and kissed him all over his face.
"Kaid, oh my god I'm so glad you're ok. Does your head hurt?" He nodded.
"I'll get the doctor," James said. I didn't hear him quite well because I was so consumed with happiness because Kaid woke up.
I kissed him again and again. He signed, 'Where's Daddy', to me. I sighed.
"He left baby, I'm sorry." He signed.
'I heard him, he said something to me'. That must've been when Kendall whispered in his ear.
I caressed his cheek. "What'd he say baby?"
'Told me to keep it between me and him'. I furrowed my eyebrows and nodded. I grabbed his hand and the doctor came in and started checking on him.
******
James had left and it was just Kaid and I. It was 9pm and Kaid and I were playing games. I heard the door open behind me, but I didn't look. Kaid looked up and smiled widely. I raised my eyebrows and looked behind me.
Kendall.
Huh? He came back? Even when I told him not to? Wow, wait wait, let me not get my hopes up, because I know more bullshit is gonna come out of his mouth. He closed the door behind him. He sat next to me while still looking at Kaid.
"Kaid, I'm glad you woke up." I looked at him.
"Can, I talk to you? In the hall, for a minute." I looked at him.
"A minute, that's all. Baby we'll be back." Kaid nodded and looked over at Kendall. He loved Kendall so, so much. It was almost heart wrenching that Kendall didn't feel the same.
He opened the door of me, I walked out and he walked behind me closing the door. I crossed my arms.
"What bullshit do you have for me now?" He chuckled.
"My manager said that my fans would love if I spend more time with Kaid-." I stopped him right there. I shook my head.
"No, absolutely not, I will NOT let you use our son for publicity." He sighed.
"Please Katelyn, come on. If you let me do this, I-." He cut himself off. I cocked my head.
"You'll what?" He threw up his hands limply. He shook his head and looked at me.
"I-I-I'll tell the world that...I have a mute son." I widened my eyes. I never thought he'd do anything like that. As much as I didn't like the fact that he was using Kaid for publicity, his fans needed to know about what was really going on with Kaid. His fans adore Kaid, him being mute still makes him the most beautiful child.
"And you should never be ashamed of that Kendall, seriously. Kaid needs you if someone tries to make fun of his condition." He looked at me.
"So, can I have Kaid for a bit?" I thought, then nodded.
"But you have to tell your fans first." He nodded.
"Ok, I'll make a video and post it on Twitter." I shook my head and started crying.
"Katelyn..."
"You know it's so sad that Kaid loves you so much, but the only time you wanna spend with him is for fame." He looked up.
"Maybe-maybe this time I'll have with him will spark our relationship. Katelyn I'm not gonna take him out in public and make sure the paparazzi get a couple of pics, wait for them to leave, then throw Kaid in a bush and tell him to get lost I got all the publicity I need. He will be by my side, with me, all the time. Not for photos, but because, I-I'd never leave him like that. As much as I continue to say I don't wanna spend time with him, he is still my son. I may not wanna spend time with him, but, I will always protect him because that's my duty as a parent, as a father."
That may be the most caring thing he's said about Kaid his entire life. I hope this thing he's gonna do with Kaid will just, help Kendall realize what he's missing. I nodded slowly. "Kendall, just, please, try and just talk to him, get to know him. He's a great kid, he loves you so much."
"I promise, I will." He put his hand to his chest. "But after this, Katelyn. I'm sorry, but I don't have time for a responsibility like Kaid." I shook my head.
"Just, I'm glad you're spending time with him now. Don't ruin it, please." He put his hands up.
"You're right, I'll keep my lips shut. That's enough bullshit for today." I chuckled.
"Thanks. You are gonna need to know a bit of sign language."
"Ok, you gonna teach me?" I nodded.
"Yeah, right now." He shrugged.
"Ok, but let me tell you where I wanna take Kaid. Dustin and I are traveling to Italy to do some of our tour there. I wanna take him with me. Not just for publicity, don't kill me, but I know he'll be stoked to go, especially with me." I gave a slight smile.
"How long?"
"A-uh a month. We aren't just gonna go to Italy, but other countries too." I smiled, Kaid would have so much fun. I'm glad Kendall is taking Kaid's feelings into consideration, he knew he would love to go travel the world. I don't know if he's lying or not, but I'm just glad to hear it come out of his mouth.
"I'm gonna miss him so much, but I'll be so glad that he's experiencing the world, especially with you." He gave a small smile.
"Let's go tell him?" I nodded and opened the door, Kendall followed after.
Kaid looked at him and signed, 'That was longer than a minute mommy'. I laughed.
"I'm sorry baby, we were longer than we expected to be. Daddy wants to ask you something." He turned his attention toward Kendall, he smiled as he sat down in front of him.
"Kaid, remember I told you I was a singer?" He nodded.
"Well, I'm gonna be doing shows around the world and I wanted to know, if you would come with me?" He smiled brightly, but then it quickly faded.
He signed, 'But you don't like me'. That just tore my heart to pieces.
"Kendall, he says that you don't like him." He looked at Kaid.
"Did you hear what I whispered to you?" He nodded slowly. "You know what I said, and I meant it." He nodded. Man, I wanted to know what he said?
"Come on, guys tell me." I said. Kendall looked at Kaid and shook his head.
"Only for him and I to know. Sorry Moms." I laughed. "Now, Kaid, will you go with me?" He nodded vigorously. Kendall laughed.
"We're gonna be gone for a long time, but it'll be fun." Kaid opened his arms, indicating for Kendall to hug him. Kendall's smile dropped, I knew this was totally against his, 'no affection for Kaid' deal. He hesitated, but I saw a sight that I had been waiting to see for years.
Kendall stopped being a dick, for once, and he wrapped his arms around Kaid tightly. Kaid wouldn't let go.
It looked like Kendall wasn't going to either, this was too good to be true.
A bit of a long chapter, but it was worth it. Was Kendall finally coming around? I don't know. Until Next Time.
