Chapter 10

"Momma!" Caleb called into Kenzi's room. Kenzi sat up in the bed, sleeping was becoming rather difficult, every since Caleb turned three he'd been all about waking Kenzi up right when she said she would be up.

"I'm up, I'm up." She smiled and slid off the bed. He ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her legs hugging her tightly and burying his head in between her legs.

"Auntie Bo and Auntie Lauren will be here soon!" he said nodding and pulling back. Kenzi nodded and ran her hand through his wavy black hair as they headed into the kitchen.

"Good afternoon Mrs. Kenzi." Naomi said. Naomi was Caleb's nanny. She arrived around ten thirty every night after Kenzi had put him down for bed and she stayed until about twelve pm when Kenzi woke up. She got Caleb up and dressed, fed him breakfast and kept him entertained while Kenzi got her sleep after working all night.

"Afternoon Naomi." Kenzi smiled.

"I'll be off this week so I won't need you until next Sunday." Kenzi said.

"Yes Ma'am, see you Sunday. Bye Caleb!" Naomi called.

"Bye Nae!" he said as he messed with a string on Kenzi's pajama bottoms. She smiled and left quickly.

"Momma Auntie Bo and Auntie Lauren will be here soon!" he repeated.

"Yes they will be. Did you clean you room?" Kenzi asked. He nodded briskly and ran off into his room. She knew he had probably sort of cleaned it, so he was going to check. God he looked so much like Dyson. She had hoped he would keep her looks considering he had looked like her at 6 months, but nope, soon after he returned to looking like Dyson. She sighed and began putting dishes away. She had been even more confident in her decision to tell Bo after what Dyson had said to her two years ago. She hadn't been back since, she had explained to Bo what had happened and Bo had been behind her one hundred percent. Kenzi had instructed Bo to tell Lauren everything, if Bo trusted Lauren, Kenzi did to. She still had some reservations about Lauren, but she was a good girl, and Bo loved her. Bo and Lauren had been to visit Kenzi and Caleb numerous times. While Trick and Hale could not find the time to get here, they did question why Kenzi would not come back. Her simple excuse was she had to work a lot. They believed her and had diminished to phone calls weekly. She loved Bo and Lauren coming to visit, they made it a point to visit once every six months. Making sure to be here on Caleb's birthdays which were in June and then in December when they celebrated Christmas. They always stayed for a week and made Kenzi feel like she was back home.

"Momma, it's clean." Caleb said returning to the kitchen.

"Good sweetie. Now I'm going to go get dressed and we're going to go see Jack Jack about your birthday party." Kenzi said.

"Here you go Caleb." Jack said putting the apple juice down in front of him. Caleb swiped it up and ran off toward his table. Yes, he had a table, Jack had put it in the corner behind the bar a year ago, it was small children's table where Caleb colored and played with his toys when Kenzi brought him to visit. Kenzi had laughed when she had opened the fridge under the bar where they kept the specialty drinks and found a bottle of apple juice that Jack had bought for Caleb. Jack treated Caleb like a grandfather would and Kenzi loved that about him.

"Well here is his gift, make sure he doesn't open it till his birthday. Oh and do me a favor before you run, I am this close to firing Bethany," he held up his fingers to show how much fuse he had left. Bethany was the new waitress for the three to eleven shifts and she was for lack of better words horrible. She as dumb, dumb, dumb, and rather than working she paused several times to talk to cute guys.

"What do you want me to do?" Kenzi asked shrugging.

"That man has been waiting for about twenty minutes on her to get over to him. Will you put her in line and help him out?" Jack asked. He was all about getting on to someone when they needed it but he was more lenient when there was a chance the person might cry. And Bethany was a crier. Kenzi nodded and pointed at Caleb telling jack to watch him, he nodded and she pulled off the half jacket she had on leaving her in her red tank top. She grabbed up her hair and pulled it into a ponytail and then she stomped over to Bethany.

"Hey!" Kenzi said when she approached. Bethany was leaning against a younger guy who had his hands running over her ass. Kenzi was disgusted. Bethany jumped back and spun around. When she noticed Kenzi she immediately looked regretful. Which made Kenzi smile. It was like everyone else was afraid of the graveyard shift girls, mostly because Jack loved them the best. Kenzi, Jess, and Connie had it made when it came to days off and bonuses.

"Hey, handsy, back off before I kick your ass out." Kenzi said to the guy. He removed his hand and turned his back to the girls.

"Look Bethany. You are about to get fired, if you want to keep your job I suggest you get your head out of your vagina and get to work." Kenzi said. Bethany nodded quickly and then Kenzi turned on her heel and went to the guy who had been waiting who was also holding up an empty glass waving it around. Right as Kenzi was about to take the glass he let it go and it smashed against the ground breaking into large pieces.

"Damn it. Bethany, grab the broom!" Kenzi said. Bethany scrambled to get the broom while Jack shook his head.

"Jack, get our friend a cab." Kenzi called realizing this patron was pretty wasted. Jack nodded and went to the phone while Kenzi bent to pick up the glass. Forgetting that the glass was wet and slippery she immediately grabbed up a large piece to toss it in the trash.

"Shit." She curse under her breath as it sliced open her finger when it slipped free. In the next few moments a man was there with a towel and he wrapped it around her finger to stop the bleeding. She looked up at him and was awe struck, he was gorgeous. His light green eyes pulled her in and she was hypnotized.

Cade had been sitting in the corner of the bar, watching Kenzi. He had come to know a great deal about her over the past year he'd been watching her. She was different he could tell, but when the smell of her blood hit his nose, he knew she was different. It was a scent one could easily miss unless you were looking for it, and Cade was definitely looking for it. She had Fae blood inside her, strong Fae blood. Something that he could use to help him have strong children. He knew a lot about this Kenzi, but not everything. He knew she had a child, but he was unsure of the child's father. He'd been following her because from the moment he'd seen her a year ago in the bar, he'd loved her. He loved her spunky attitude, her beautiful features, and her strong personality all qualities he wanted in his children. He wanted Kenzi, and he would have her. Today the opportunity had presented itself for him to come to her rescue with a spare towel he'd grabbed off the bar. Now here she was in his arms looking into his eyes as if she was mesmerized, yes, he would have Kenzi for himself. But that boy, her son, might be an issue.

Kenzi thanked the man and he nodded holding out his hand to her and he smiled a wonderful smile.

"I'm Cade." He said.

"Kenzi." She said smiling along.

"Kenzi, nice to meet you." He said releasing her hand. She smiled, could not help it. Something about him made her want to hug him and hold him close. He got her attention and kept it. Forgotten was the glass broken on the floor, the fact that Jack was behind the counter probably watching her every move. But one thing that always reminded her she was no longer the young, partying, wild child she used to be, her son.

"Thanks for this." she held up the towel and turned to walk away.

"Uh, Kenzi." Cade called. She sighed and turned around facing him again.

"Would you like to maybe go out sometime?" he asked with that gorgeous smile again. Kenzi wanted to accept wanted to badly, but where on earth would she find the time? Well, she was off this week. But Caleb, she wasn't about to allow a man in his life just to be let down by him. But then again, she could test him out first and see if it would work.

"I have a son." She said with a smirk.

"I love kids." Cade said. Kenzi frowned and could not help but chuckle.

"Alright fine, we'll do lunch, meet me here tomorrow, same time." She said. He nodded and Kenzi lifted her hand and turned back to Jack as Bethany swept up the glass.

"Shut up." Kenzi pointed at Jack and smirked.
