"Wife?" Carter asked as Kaitlyn nodded at him.
"He never mentioned anything."
"Of course he didn't." Kaitlyn said rolling her eyes and putting the chart that she had been working on back in its place.
"So you aren't together?" Carter asked as Kaitlyn gave a small laugh.
"You're full of questions aren't you? The answer is yes and no. Now if you'd excuse me Dr. Carter I have to go pick up my son." Kaitlyn said as she grabbed her coat. "See you tomorrow Carter. Dr. Weaver said I would be working under you." She added with a smile as she walked out the door.
Carter just stared at the door until Kaitlyn was out of sight. After a few minutes Dave came out of the lounge carrying his bag.
"Catch you tomorrow Carter."
"Malucci, wait." Carter said as he grabbed Dave's arm stopping him from going out the door.
"Yeah?"
"I just met your wife. Care to explain?" Carter asked as Dave smiled a little bit.
"Long story. Look I'll tell you later I'm going to be late to see my son." Dave said as he rushed out of the ER.
"Son?" Carter mouthed to Haleh who just shrugged her shoulders.
~Kaitlyn's Apartment~
Dave sat his bike down on the ground and walked up the stairs to Kaitlyn's apartment. He took a breath as he knocked on the door and put his hands in his pockets as he waited.
"Hey." Kaitlyn said as she opened the door with a smile.
"Sorry I'm late. Traffic was a bitch." Dave said as he pointed towards his bike.
"You still have that old thing?" Kaitlyn asked as Dave laughed a little. "You are going to get yourself killed riding that thing in Chicago traffic." She added as Dave shook his head.
"Nah I'll be fine I have a hard head."
"You got that right." Kaitlyn said with a laugh. "Come on in before you freeze. I have dinner on so I hope you came with an empty stomach." She added as Dave smelled the air and smiled.
"I did but if I wasn't I'd make room." Dave said with a laugh as Kaitlyn took his coat.
"Make yourself at home. I'm going to go get Aiden."
"Nice place." Dave said as he looked around the small apartment. He walked around a little bit but stopped as he came to a wall with pictures of Aiden ranging from the time he was a newborn to now a toddler. He was the spitting image of both his parents.
"It's not much but its home." Kaitlyn said as she walked towards Dave with Aiden in her arms. "Little man, there's someone I want you to meet." Kaitlyn added as she walked closer to Dave. "Aiden this is your Dad."
"Da-da?" The little boy asked in a small voice as Dave smiled and took his son from his wife's arms.
"Yes I am your dad. I love you and your mommy very much." Dave said as the little boy hugged him tightly. "I'm always going to be here for you." He added as Kaitlyn looked at the father and son with a smile.
~Later~
"Man it smells good in here." Dave said as he walked into the kitchen and stole a taste of spaghetti sauce from the pan.
"Hey get out of that." Kaitlyn said with a laugh as she gently hit his arm.
"Hey I can't help it. I'm starving and this is awesome." Dave said as he took another bite.
"I learned it from your mom the authentic Italian cook so it better be good." Kaitlyn said as she grabbed the spoon from Dave's hand. "Now get out or there won't be any left." She added with a laugh as Dave faked a pout and left the kitchen.
He sat down on the couch and picked up Aiden and put him on his lap.
"Your mommy is being mean to me little man." Dave said as Aiden gave a laugh.
"Da-Da in trouble." Aiden said with a grin as Dave laughed and hugged his son and turned the television on to some cartoons.
"Dinner is ready." Kaitlyn yelled from the kitchen causing Dave to jump up and Aiden to giggle.
After about thirty minutes they had finished and Kaitlyn began to clear the table.
"Alright little man its time for bed." Kaitlyn said as she put the plates in the sink.
"I'll put him to bed." Dave said as Kaitlyn turned around to look at him.
"You sure?"
"Yeah you clean up. I got this." Dave said as he picked up Aiden and carried him to the next room.
Ten minutes later Dave walked back into the kitchen with a smile.
"He really likes you." Kaitlyn said as she handed dishes to Dave to dry.
"I'm glad he does since he will be seeing a lot of me now. Have you thought any more about it?" Dave asked as Kaitlyn handed him a plate.
"About what?"
"Getting back together. Being a family again."
"David not now." Kaitlyn said with a groan as she emptied the dishwater out of the sink.
"Why not?" Dave asked as Kaitlyn gritted her teeth.
"It's too soon Dave. Today is the first time I've seen you in two years. If you actually think I'm going to jump right back into things you are sadly mistaken. You are unbelievable." Kaitlyn said as she pushed past him and walked into the living room.
"I thought you said you would give me a chance?" Dave asked as Kaitlyn looked at him with a glare.
"Yes a chance for Aiden. Not us. We have been over for a long time Dave."
"You can't sit there and tell me that you don't love me. After everything we went through before I left. I'm trying to make it work Kait." Dave said as Kaitlyn shook her head.
"Dave I won't lie. I do love you. How can I not? You were my first true love. You were my first everything. But, I don't love you in the way that you want me too. I love you as the father of my son, nothing more." Kaitlyn said as Dave looked down at the ground.
"Look I really want to get along with you I do, but if you keep this up I don't know what I'm going to do. If we are meant to be together we will get back together but not this soon David. I need time. I'm not going to rush into anything." She added as Dave just grabbed his coat and walked to the door.
"I love you and Aiden. Just know that I won't wait forever Kaitlyn." Dave said as he opened the door only to find that it had started snowing and it was coming down hard.
"Shit. Looks like you will be stuck here tonight. There's no way a cab is going to come here with this snow. Let me get you a blanket and a pillow." Kaitlyn said with a groan as Dave smiled a little bit and walked back into the apartment.
