As I opened the door there stood the one person I thought I would never see again in my life. My dead beat piece of shit father, Dylan Knight. Like what the hell was he doing here…how did he even know where I was? he stood there looking at me; it had been so long since I've seen him I didn't know what to do.
"Well can I get a 'Hello'?" he said
"Hi" I said as I stood there shocked
"Well can I come in?" he asked me...I moved aside and let him in; he stood and looked around the apartment for a few minutes then looked at me
"What are you doing here?" I finally asked him
"I came to see my son" he said as if it normal...it wasn't I had seen this man in almost eight years and he thinks that by showing up now everything will be ok?
"Why now?" I asked him
"Son...listen I know that you must hate me...I know I messed up by leaving but I was hoping you and your sister could give me a chance…a chance to be a real father to you and her" he said as he walked towards me….why did he want to be a father now? I was ten when he left but I remember it like it was yesterday. He is the reason why I and James are together.
FLASHBACK 10 YEARS AGO
"Dylan you can't leave…what about the kids?" Jennifer Knight asked her husband as he was packing his bag
"Jen…you know I never wanted kids, but when you had Kendall I tolerated him but then you had Katie…I just can't take it anymore." Dylan Knight said as he finished packing the rest of his clothes, unknown to the two adults little ten year old Kendall Knight stood in their doorway listening to them, Kendall thought 'Why doesn't daddy love me?'…had he done something bad? All of these questions ran through his little mind as his father turned to walk out the door he saw Kendall standing there looking at him
"Daddy please don't go...I'll be good I promise" Kendall said with tears streaming down his face
"Look kid I have to go" Dylan said with a heartless tone, he pushed pass Kendall and went downstairs as he did Jennifer followed trying to make him stop, soon after that Kendall followed
"Dylan…you can't do this...what am I suppose to do?" Jennifer said as she cried
"I don't know and I don't care…You got yourself into this mess figure a way out" he said as he started for the car. As he did Jennifer grabbed his arm next thing Kendall knew he saw his father slap his mother across the face…he was so scared he'd never seen them act this way. Dylan left Jennifer laying on the ground and got into the car and drove off , Kendall ran to his mother to see if she was ok when he got there he saw her red face with tears streaming down. He felt bad someone was mean to his mommy and he didn't do anything about it...he promised himself from that point on he would kill anyone if they laid a hand on his mother again.
"Mommy are you ok?" Kendall said as he took his pudgy hand and wiped her tears away
"Mommy's fine sweetie…go back inside and watch T.V ok" Jennifer said as she tried to pull herself together
Kendall did as he was told and went back in the house, a few hours later he heard someone knock on the his door it was his mom, her face was slightly red, as she walked in he saw his best friend in the world(Soon to be boyfriend) walk in behind her.
"Kendall sweetie we need to talk" she said as she sat down on the edge of his bed
"Daddy isn't coming back is he?" Kendall asked in a little sad voice
"No sweetie he isn't …." She said as she pulled Kendall close to her
"Mommy…was it something I did?" Kendall asked as little tear drops fell from his face
"No sweetie...you didn't do anything wrong...your daddy just doesn't know what he wants right now" she said trying to find the right words.
"Mommy…promise you won't leave me…I'll be good I swear" Kendall said as he held on to his mother tighter, he didn't mean to make his daddy mad. Even though she said she didn't do anything Kendall knew he was the reason why his dad left, and he was going to do any and everything to make sure he didn't lose his mom to.
"Kendall honey look at me" Jennifer said when Kendall looked at her, her heart broke even more Kendall's eyes were red and puffy from crying and his hair was everywhere due to him nudging his head into her side.
"Kendall sweetheart you never have to worry about mommy leaving you ok…I will always be here no matter what" Jennifer said as she hugged her son, they stayed like this for a minute before Kendall remembered James was in the room. He pulled away from his mother and looked at him
"Hey Jamie" Kendall said trying to be strong he didn't want to cry infront of James
"Hey Kenny…you wanna play a game?" James said as he thought of ways to get Kendall's mind off his dad leaving.
"Sure" Kendall said in a small voice
"Well I'll be downstairs if you need me" Jennifer said as she stood up, and what Kendall said next made her smile
"Mommy you can play if you want to" Jennifer smiled at this even though he was hurt Kendall was still so sweet, but then that made her think why would anyone want to leave such a sweet boy behind?
"Thank you for the offer honey...but Brooke is downstairs waiting for me" she said as she hugged Kendall
"Your welcome mommy" Kendall smiled, once she went downstairs James and Kendall began to play cards, James could tell that Kendall was still upset and when his dad left Kendall was there to comfort him so he was going to do the same.
"Kenny you wanna talk about it?" James asked
"It hurts Jamie…why wasn't I good enough…why did he leave?" Kendall cried, James knew how it felt he knew it hurt
"Kenny I know it hurts now...but it gets better…your dad doesn't know what he's missing out on" James said as he pulled Kendall into a hug
"I'm nothing special Jamie...if I was he wouldn't have left" Kendall said as he started playing with the lose thread on James' shirt
"Yes you are Kenny…your funny, smart, sweet, cute, um fearless, and your just way to awesome to name off all your things that make you awesome." James said, Kendall hadn't missed the part where James called him cute, but he decided not to say anything about that now
"I'm not as smart as Logan" Kendall said as he played with the thread
"Well no one is smart as Logan…he's a freak of nature…..like really I don't think he's human sometimes" James said as he tried to get Kendall to laugh...In which he succeeded
"Jamie can you spend the night please?" Kendall asked as he looked up at his best friend
"My bags are downstairs" James said as he hugged Kendall tighter
The two boys played games and James comforted Kendall when he would think of his dad and start to cry, Jennifer ordered pizza for the two boys and after they ate they watched scary movies. It was time for bed Kendall and James snuggled under Kendall's cover and before he went to sleep he heard James say
"I love you Kenny…and I'll always be there for you no matter what"
END OF FLASHBACK
That had been eight years ago, and now Dylan was back and wanted to be a father. Kendall was not having it
"You need to leave." Kendall said as he tried to control his anger
"But Kendall...I just want-"he couldn't finish due to Kendall cutting him off
"I know what you want…but it's too late you had your chance and you blew it…I'm grown now and I don't need you I remember what happened the day you left, the way you hit mom, the way you made me feel I REMEMBER ALL OF IT" Kendall screamed as the tears ran down his face
"Kend-"once again he was cut off
"Get out…" Kendall said as he walked to the door
"But Kendall" Dylan said
"GET OUT!" Kendall screamed again, this time waking everyone up in the apartment, as James, Logan, and Carlos come out of their room they see why Kendall is yelling and they also see him crying
"Fine" Dylan said as he walked towards the door, before he left he looked at Kendall and said
"If you change your mind, I'm staying at the Motel 6 down the street" and with that he walked away Kendall slammed the door shut and as he was turning to walk back to his room he saw everyone staring at him. James ran up to him and pulled him into the biggest hug ever with that Kendall broke down crying again.
"It's ok Kenny...I'm right here baby…its ok" James cooed in his boyfriends ear
"W-w-w-w-why w-w-would h-h-he c-c-come b-back?" Kendall stuttered
"I don't know baby…but it's ok I'm here…I'm not going anywhere ok?" James said as he petted Kendall's hair
"Ok…..can we cuddle?" Kendall asked looking up at James
"Sure we can cuddle" James said as he kissed Kendall softly
As they lay down they hear crying they peer over the couch to see Logan holding Carlos (who is bawling his eyes out)
"'Litos...baby what's wrong?" Logan asked his boyfriend
"It-it-it's so-so-so s-s-sad" Carlos managed to stutter out
"What is baby?" Logan asked
"Bambi's mommy got shot!" Carlos yelled then ran off leaving three very confused boys behind him
"Um….I'm….gonna…go…check…on….him" Logan said as he went after Carlos
Kendall giggled at this which made James smile...then he felt something
"K-Kendall…" James said with something in his voice that Kendall couldn't quite understand
"What's wrong Jay?" Kendall asked using one of James' many nicknames
James grabbed Kendall's hand and put it on his stomach and then Kendall felt it...THE BABY KICKED, a smile spread across Kendall and James' face, they finally got to feel their baby kick. Kendall pulled James' shirt up and kissed his stomach and whispered
"I'm never going to leave you...or mommy" with that the baby kicked again. James and Kendall laid there on the couch cuddling and feeling their son or daughter kick, it was the greatest feeling in the world to them as the baby's kicking died down James fell asleep leaving Kendall to wonder should he give his dad another chance?
Logan & Carlos
"Care bear…you ok?" Logan asked as he walked into their shared room
"I'm ok Logie…I was just trying to make Kendall laugh" Carlos said as he poked his stomach
"Y-You mean you were pretending out there?" Logan asked in confusion
"Yes Logie...Now come over here and poke the baby with me" Carlos said as he continued to poke at his stomach
"'Litos stop doing that you might hurt the baby" Logan said as he laid on the bed beside Carlos
Carlos stopped and grabbed Logan's hand just as the baby kicked ...they both smiled. Logan kissed Carlos' stomach and then kissed Carlos they laid there until they both fell asleep.
