I sighed as I got up the next morning. We had spent the night at Nana Diamond's and even though I was seventeen, she made me go to bed when my siblings did. Of course I was texting Colton and Tori and Ariel ended up sending me a picture of Cayden in the bath kind of waving at the camera. I giggled and smiled and forwarded it to Colton.

He's adorable. =)

Ikr? I'm going to ask Ariel if I can come visit tomorrow since its Sunday. Do u wanna come?

Of course. (:

Awesome. I'll text Ariel right now.

Ok. Ket me know asap

I was about to text back when I heard a knock on the bedroom door. "Caitlyn Diamond you better be asleep or Nana won't be happy." I heard my Nana say and I sighed.

I fell asleep without texting Colton or Ariel. Anyway, when I woke up Sunday morning, I texted Ariel right away and she said it was ok if Colton and I came over and spent time with our son. She said she had to go grocery shopping anyway so we could babysit. I texted Colton and told him and he said he'd meet me at my house in about an hour and a half. When me and my siblings got home, I took a shower and changed and my siblings bombarded my parents. I grabbed my purse and keys and my dad looked at me.

"Where are you going Cait?"

"Ariel and Ian's. She said Colton and I could come over and spend time with Cayden. She has to go grocery shopping so she said we could babysit."

My dad nodded. "Alright. Have fun." He kissed my cheek and I walked outside and saw Colton.

"Hey Colton." I smiled.

"Hey Cait. Ready to go see our son?" he smiled

I nodded and we got in my car and drove to Ariel and Ian's house. As soon as we got there, I knocked on the door and Ian answered. "Hello Caitlyn. We've been expecting you." I smiled and he led us inside. The house looked exactly like it did in my dream. Weird.

Ariel came in a little later with Cayden and put him in his bouncy swing. "Hey guys." She smiled and kissed my cheek.

"Hi." Colton smiled. She then asked Ian if he was ready to go and he nodded and they gave us some information about taking care of Cayden and we nodded. They took him out of his bouncy swing to give him kisses and handed him to me.

"We'll be back soon." Ian smiled and as soon as they left, I turned my attention to Cayden.

"Hi baby boy." I smiled and sat on the couch and he grinned up at me. He looked at Colton and reached his arms out for him. Colton and smiled, picking him up.

"Hi buddy. My God, you are definitely my kid." He chuckled and kissed Cayden's cheek. Cayden started babbling and giggling and Colton and I smiled. We ended up playing peek-a-boo with him, feeding him his bottle, and putting him down for a nap.

When Ariel and Ian came back, Ariel smiled at me. "How was it?"

"Fun. He was getting sleepy, so we put him down for a nap." Colton smiled.

"Awesome. Well, I guess if we ever need a babysitter, we can call you guys."

I smiled. "That would be awesome."

Ariel smiled. "Then, you are now our babysitters when we need a night out or have to go out and can't take Cayden with us."

Colton and I looked at each other and smiled. "You don't have to pay us or anything." Colton said.

"Really?"

"Yeah, we'll do it for free. He's our son too." I smiled.

"Awesome. Thank you guys." Ariel hugged us and kissed our cheeks. We said our goodbyes and I drove home.

"You can really tell Cayden is our baby." Colton said on the drive back.

I giggled and smiled. "He looks exactly like you."

"But he's got your facial features and skin tone. You know, that was the first time, other than the night he was born, that I've held him."

I dug into my purse when we pulled up into my driveway. "Before you go, I have something for you."

He looked at me funny. "What are you talking about?"

I pulled out one of the wallet sized pictures of me holding Cayden. "Here. So you have a picture of the mother of your son, and your son with you at all times." I smiled.

Colton pulled me close and hugged me. "Thank you Caitie."

I hugged him back. "You're welcome."

"I miss you Caitie." He whispered.

"Colton…" I started. "We're friends. I can't be anything more than that right now. Yes, you're the father of my baby, but he has another family, and I just can't risk another pregnancy…"

"I was drunk!" Colton defended.

"I told you no Colton! And you still took advantage of me. And you lied to me about the condom! And I got pregnant! You don't know how humiliating it was when I started showing to hear, 'what a slut' and 'wonder who the father is' or 'typical Hollywood kid' you pretty much denied me until we started talking again when I was six months along with Cayden. I agreed to being friends again. Yes, I love you. But just as a friend. I think you should go now."

"Thanks for the picture." Colton said and got out of my car and went to his and sped off. I felt so bad, but it was the truth. I got out of my car and headed inside.

"How'd babysitting go?" my mom asked me.

"Awesome. Cayden's getting so big."

My mom smiled at me. "I bet. "

"Ariel and Ian asked if we wanted to be Cayden's babysitters. I said yes and they didn't have to pay me."

"Ooh. So you'll get to spend lots of time with Cayden when Ariel and Ian go out."

I nodded. "I'm going to go take a bath. I'll be back down for dinner."

"Ok. The gang is coming over for a cookout, so whenever you can come down, the better." My mom smiled.

I nodded and headed upstairs to my bathroom. I stripped off my clothes, grabbed my towel and the book I was currently reading and drew myself a bath. As I laid in the bathtub reading, I stopped and thought for a moment. The last time I had actually taken a bath like this was when I was pregnant with Cayden. I put my book down and ran my hand over my flat stomach. I sighed and sunk down into the water. I was happy that Cayden had a great home with great parents. I felt empty though. I knew I would always be Cayden's mom. Just like my mom would always be Skylar's mom. I now knew how she felt. I came up from under the water and gasped for breath.

I finished my bath and went to get dressed. I pulled on a pair of shorts, a white burnout tshirt and a white cami underneath, my blue beanie I got from Uncle Kendall and I decided to go barefoot. I came downstairs and saw Kendall.

"Hey Caitie-bug." Kendall smiled hugging me.

"Hi Uncle Kendall." I smiled, hugging him back.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you since you were pregnant."

"I'm good. Ariel and Ian send me updates about Cayden. They're really good parents."

"Good. I told you they would be." He kissed the top of my head.

I smiled and nodded and we had a small conversation. My mom was talking to Taylor and Keenan and Bella were playing with the other kids. I enjoyed having my extended family over. It was so much fun. To me, it did kinda feel like a member of the family was missing, but, I knew that it would always be like that.

The following day at school, Colton didn't talk to me. I walked by his locker and saw that he had some of the pictures that Ariel and Ian had sent him of Cayden in his locker. He even had printed a copy of the wallet sized picture I gave him and he had a copy of the picture I sent him of Cayden in the tub. He really did love our son. Of course, I had some pictures of Cayden in my locker, and one of the ones that were taken professionally of me and him. I wondered if anyone who had seen the pictures of Cayden in my locker and the pictures of Cayden in Colton's locker made the connection that he was ours. Tori knew of course, but that was it. That I knew of.

I sighed as I walked into choir and Colton muttered a hi to me and I smiled as I saw my mom and she began to teach. The school day began to go by slowly and after choir I walked outside and was cornered by Leighton Hawk. "So…Diamond, I have a question for you."

"What do you want?"

"I've walked past your locker a few times…and noticed some pictures of a baby…is that yours?"

"Yeah…but I gave him up for adoption."

"Then why do you have pictures of him?"

"Because it's an open adoption and his parents can send me pictures and updates."

"And…I've seen pictures of the same baby in Colton's locker…is he the baby daddy that none of us could figure out?"

"So, what if he is?"

Leighton laughed. "So he IS the baby daddy. Oh, this is good." She laughed.

I narrowed my eyes and punched her in the mouth. I left quickly and drove home. I just got in a physical fight. I hoped I wouldn't get in too much trouble from my parents. But, when I got home, my phone rang and I got a devastating phone call…
