The Secret: Part 4

Trish froze when she heard Jaylen's voice. She slowly turned around and looked at him. Jaylen was standing in the living room, in front of everyone. She looked at Ashley and John, since Randy and Stephanie already knew about Jaylen. But Trish could tell by the looks on Ashley and John's faces that they were as confused as hell.

Trish slowly walked over to Jaylen. "What are you doing down here?" Trish whispered as she knelt down in front of him.

"You were taking a long time, and I wasn't sure if you would remember my medicine." He said yawning.

"Don't worry, I'm getting you you're medicine and everything right now, why don't you go upstairs." Trish said.

"I wanna stay here with you and your friends."

"Jaylen," Trish started, but was interrupted by Stephanie.

"Trish, why don't you just let him stay down here for a while. Just until he gets tired."

Trish groaned, "Fine. I'll go get your medicine." Trish said getting up and walking into the kitchen.

When Trish was in the kitchen began to get Jaylen's medicine from the cabinet, but noticed Stephanie standing behind her. "What?" Trish asked, not even bothering to turn around.

"I wanted to ask you something."

"What?" Trish asked again, but this time turning around to face her.

"I know you said you didn't want to talk about it, but just give me a little hint. Is Jaylen's father here now?" Stephanie asked walking over to Trish.

"Steph…"

"Trish, is he?"

Trish knew Stephanie wasn't going to give up, so she decided to tell her. "Yes." Trish mumbled.

"It's John, isn't it?"

"You can't tell anyone, not even Ashley. Please, Steph?" Trish begged.

"Don't worry, I won't." Stephanie said hugging Trish.

Just then they heard laughing coming from the living room. Trish and Stephanie curiously walked into the living room and noticed that it was John and Jaylen. John was tickling Jaylen and they were both laughing.

Trish cleared her throat to get their attention, and when she did she walked over to Jaylen and gave him a cup of water and seven pills. "Here you go." Trish said as she handed the stuff to Jaylen.

"Thank you mommy." Jaylen said as he put the pills in his mouth and washed them down with the water.

"Okay, you took your pills and now it's time for you to go to bed. Say good night to everyone."

"Okay. Good night." He said waving to them as he ran up the stairs and into his bedroom.

Trish smiled and sat in the chair next to her. But she noticed the looks she was getting from Ashley and John. "What?" She asked getting annoyed because they were staring at her.

"Don't play dumb," Ashley started. "Why didn't you ever tell us you have a son? And why does he have to take medicine?"

"Because it wasn't anyone else's business." Trish said bluntly.

"Okay, then why does he take medicine?" John cut in.

"Because." Trish said again. She didn't think it was anyone's business, and she hoped they would give up on it.

"Tell us, Trish."

"Fine, if you're not going to give up, I guess I have no choice but to tell you," Trish started. "He has cancer."

"Oh, what kind?" Ashley asked taking a sip of her soda.

"Leukemia. But I'd rather not talk about that."

"Okay."

The Next Day

"Mommy!" Jaylen yelled running up to her in the kitchen.

"What?" Trish asked picking him up.

"Can John come over? He's really cool, and really funny."

"I don't know if that's a good idea, Jaylen."

"Please?" He begged.

Trish hated it when he begged, because she always gave in. "Fine. But he can't stay to long." Trish said putting him down.

"Okay." Jaylen said running out of the kitchen.

Trish had to make sure that Jaylen and John didn't get to attached to each other, or find out that Jaylen is John's son. And she didn't care what she would have to do, they would never find out.
