Michael is dating Hannah and all is going pretty good until trouble comes to town. :)
James Hannah's son loved Michael, he was only five years old Hannah had him in her senior year of high school to some guy who bailed when she told him she was pregnant, Michael couldn't understand how anyone could abandon their family.
Michael and Hannah had been dating for a few weeks, they were taking it slow since both had very busy lives, Hannah studying to be a paramedic with a five year old son and Michael being sole guardian to his three younger brothers since his parents had died in a fire and he was running his parents landscaping business to keep the bills at bay and had practically just adopted another teen into the house.
Hannah and James at the dinner table was becoming a common occurrence but no one minded, Gabriel thought it was funny, Nick thought it was good for Michael, Chris thought they were cool even five year old James who was pretty smart and very trusting for his age.
Since Hunter had recently also moved in, his opinion only counted when they were discussing what to eat for dinner but he liked Hannah, she was a nice, good person and James was sweet, not one of those racket making brats.
Michael kissed Hannah at the front door and she left with James back to her apartment. They were home for about an hour when the doorbell rang, Hannah opened the door and there stood Scott, the man who had left her when she had told him she was pregnant...or so that's what she tells people, Hannah closed the door enough so only she could be seen by James.
"What are you doing here Scott?" she asked struggling to keep her voice from trembling.
"I want to see him Hannah, he is my son and he needs a father"
"Leave right now Scott and I won't call the police" Hannah says Scott takes a menacing step forward and Hannah instinctively flinches but he stops his hand in a fist.
"You and no court will keep me from him Hannah, I've waited five years he's mine and I'm going to have him" he warns then looks over her again.
"You look good" he says.
"Get out" Hannah says slamming the door quickly wiping a tear away that had fallen. She locks the door and rushes to the cupboard packing a bag for herself and James.
"Where are we going Mom?" he asked.
"Back to Michael's we're having a sleep over how does that sound?" she asks James claps his hands.
"Yay!" he squealed Hannah packed him into the car and drove off to Michael's as fast as the speed limit would let her.
Hannah knocked on the door Gabriel opened it saw James in one arm and a bag in the other.
"Are you okay Hannah?" he asked, she thought about tell him she really did but instead she smiled putting James down.
"I need a favour" she says Gabriel shrugs closing the door.
"Yo Mike! Lady with a baby down stairs" Gabriel called Michael came down the stairs five seconds later.
"Hannah hey is everything okay?" he asked.
"How'd you like to save my life?" she asked he looked at her, that's what Hannah liked about Michael he didn't beat around the bush.
"My apartment's being fumigated, the whole building is actually and the super decided to only tell me tonight so can we please stay, only a couple of days?" she asked.
"Of course" Michael said immediately, Gabriel picked up the bag, James rubbed his eyes tiredly as Nick, Chris and Hunter come down too, Gabriel throws the bag to Chris who catches it.
"Put this in Mike's room Hannah will be there" Gabriel says with a mischievous smile at Michael.
"And I will be on the couch, here Hannah I'll take him up" James had begun swaying on his feet from tiredness, Michael easily bends down and lifted him up, Hannah had no idea how she could ever thank him enough, she stood at the bottom of the staircase looking up at her two guys, she loved James and wouldn't trade him for the world but she wished she'd met Michael Merrick first, he made an awesome father.
So yeah, chapter 1, Review Please and the next chapter will come soon. :)
