Rediscovering Love

Chapter 5- Reactions and Free time

Caleb's POV

"Oh I meant to ask. Do you know who the father is?" Sarah asked Jessica. I stiffened knowing what was going to be said next. I watched as Jessica put on her jacket and turned to face Sarah. The look in her eyes was not a pretty one. Well it was but it was dangerous and hinting that I was going to be doing some serious explaining in a mere moment.

"Ask Caleb." The girls said with a straight face. She turned on her heel and stormed out. While she didn't storm out. She strutted out like she owned the place and at that moments all eyes were on her. Even guys that didn't know who she was were watching her. That walk alone let everyone know that she was not one to be messed with. I hated that I had pissed her off. She was going to make my life a living hell.

Sarah was staring at where Jessica has been standing. I didn't know what was going through her head but I was a little scared of what she was thinking at the moment. I saw her lips move as the others at or table tried their hardest to keep their laughter quite. I heard her stutter and then she turned to me. Her eyes were just a little dark and dangerous.

"What did she mean by 'ask Caleb'?" Sarah asked looking to me. I knew I was screwed.

"Oh come on Sarah. Are you that dense?" A very giggly Kate asked. Pogue was holding on to her hand his face as red as his girlfriend's shirt. Tyler and Reid were watching me and Sarah as if they were waiting for a show.

"It's yours?" Sarah screeched. I swore my ear was bleeding from the sheer pitch of her voice. I shut my eyes and opened them again when the ringing was gone.

"Yes." I said calmly. Sarah's eye darkened again and I wanted to move away from her but if I had to choose between the two evils, I think Sarah's wrath was better then Jessica's. I waited for her response.

"So you were going to tell me when?" She prompted. I took a deep breath and gave her a small grin. It didn't work. "You idiot!" She shouted hitting me on the arm. "You weren't going to tell me where you?" She questioned though there was no answer for it.

"God Caleb. This is just great. My boy friend has a child with some..." She didn't get to finish her statement before Tyler jumped in saving me from having to yell at her.

"If you call my sister a slut or whore or anything like that you are so going to wish Chase had killed you." Tyler hissed and the table went quite. No one, not even me, had seen Tyler this upset. I didn't like it. It kind of scared me just a bit.

Sarah paled and took a deep breath. I also heard her gulp in that air. "I wasn't. Its just...God I'm out of here." She groaned and grabbed her jacket tossing it on as she stormed out of her not so gracefully. I groaned and let my head fall into my hands. This was one fucked up day.

I looked to everyone and they were not laughing. I didn't see anything funny about this but then again I was on the receiving end of both the girls anger. I glared at all my friends. "This is not funny."

"Oh yeah it is." Pogue laughed.

"Hey guys. What did I miss?" A small raven haired girl came up and sat in Tyler's lap. He smiled to Amber and kissed her lightly on the lips.

"Oh Caleb's just on the receiving end of both Sarah's and my baby sister's anger. Its funny." Tyler said hugging her.

"Well why are they mad at you Danvers?" She asked and tilted her head towards me.

"Well you know Jessica had Caleb's daughter right?" Reid started.

"I can speak for myself Reid." I growled out. "I pissed Jessica off my dating Sarah I guess. Then pissed her off even more when Sarah asked who the father of the baby was. She knew I didn't tell Sarah so she was a smart ass and said 'ask Caleb'. Well guess what? She asked me. And now my current girlfriend is pissed at me for not telling her about my past. I need a drink. I'm going home and raiding my moms stash." I said and stood. I wondered what Jessica was doing as I left.

Jessica's POV

I staggered into my room slightly drunk but not enough that I couldn't see or walk. I was stumbling because I was laughing so hard. Kate had called me and told me the reaction our resident slut. Sorry I mean Sarah. She apparently blew up and stormed out of Nicky's. No one knew where she had gone because she never picked up her phone.

But I really didn't care right now. I was drinking, my daughter was sleeping and the world was all good to me. I laughed setting the near empty bottle of Corona and well it was my third bottle. I could hold my own when it came to drinking but I rarely did it.

I pulled my laptop from its spot under my bed and flipped it open. I turned it on and waited for it to boot up. As it did I walked back to where the beer was sitting and finished it off leaving the bottle where it was. I walked back to the bed and loaded up my iTunes account. My iPod was buried somewhere in the recesses of my purse downstairs. I found a song and stood up. I knew this song by heart and it kind of felt right at the moment.

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting

I'm through with doubt
There's nothing left for me to figure out
I've paid a price
And I'll keep paying

I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell and
I don't have time to go round and round and round
It's to late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is you think I should

I know you said
Can't you just get over it
It turned my whole world around
And I kind of like it

I made my bed and sleep like a baby
With no regrets and I don't mind saying
It's a sad sad story when a mother will teach her
Daughter that she ought to hate a perfect stranger
And how in the world can the words I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That they'd write me a letter
Sayin' that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over

Forgive, sounds good
Forget, I'm not sure I could
They say time heals everything
But I'm still waiting(Not Ready to Make Nice- Dixie Chicks)

I was laying on my bed when the song ended. I truly loved that song. I heard a bark next to my bed and laughed rolling over as another song enveloped my room in its soothing melody. It was classical and calmed me. "Come on Annabell." I patted the bed and she hopped up. She laid almost on top of me.

"You know girl. I have way to much time on my hands. I should go see Bella if it weren't too late. You know thats what I should be doing instead of drinking my issues away." I said hugging the dog. I yawned as music still rang though my room. The alcohol was causing me to become sleepy. I yawned again and curled up tighter to the dog.

I woke with a start to the crying of Bella. I groaned out and took hold of my head. It was throbbing in a beat to the song that was playing. I groaned and rolled over and pushed to power button on my laptop and it turned off blessing me with silence but the muffled crying still pierced my blissful reprieve. I sighed and stuffed my head under the pillow. Drinking was never as fun in the morning as it was when consuming the alcohol.

I knew I had to get up and go to her but my head hurt to much. Rolled out from under my pillow and looked to my clock. 5:30 a.m. I growled. It never failed. Five thirty every morning she woke me up usually just to laugh at me. I made my way out of the room when the crying stopped. I cocked my head getting a little concerned. My mom was still sleeping down the hall. Tyler was sleeping as well. My dad was up and off to work already. No one else should have been here.

I walked to Ty's room and opened the door. His TV was a blank blue screen, his DVD player was still running I sighed and looked to the floor. Reid was curled in a ball next to the bed. There was a girl on the bed with Tyler. She was a cute little black haired thing. I smiled, that must be Amber.

On the other side of the bed Kate was curled on top of Pogue and God only knew how they were comfortable. I shook my head and left not wanting to wake them. My head throbbed a little at the laugh but I let it go. It wasn't that bad anymore.

I walked back into the hall and still no crying came from Bella's bedroom. I hurried my pace. She used to stop crying after a few minutes of me letting her cry but she always started back up five minutes later and then kept going until I picked her up. It had been a little over ten minutes since she stopped crying. I didn't like this one bit.

I opened the door and the sight before me took my breath away. Bella was curled in the arms of the one man I never thought I would see again. I had messed with him at the bar and now he was here sitting with our daughter in his arms. He was humming something. I looked at him. He didn't know I was there yet. I wanted this moment to last. This moment of him not knowing that I was watching him and me just watching. It was one of these moments. I thought I was still mad at him but every time I decide to try to stay mad he does something like this and I begin to think differently about the whole thing. It was moments like this that made me happy and sad at the same time.

"Hey." I said coming into the dark room. I shut the door and locked it. I never did this. But this was a moment between mother, daughter, and father. Mostly mother and father because said daughter was sleeping and didn't look to be waking anytime soon.

"Hey yourself." Caleb said looking to me. He still looked hurt and I knew why.

"I'm sorry for what I pulled at the bar. I was pissed and hurt and I wanted to get back at you." I said coming to sit in the second chair next to the one that Caleb sat in.

"I know Jessica. You don't have to explain. I'm just glad your not mad at me anymore." He said looking to the sleeping one and a half year old.

"Oh I'll find something else to be mad at later today but for now this is bliss for both of us." I said leaning forward to touch Bella's head.

"I know what you mean." He said and looked to me again. I smiled.

"Did Tyler invite you?" I asked smiling at him. I was leaning over still touching Bella. The necklace with my ring on it slipped from my shirt and glittered in the low glow of the night light I kept in the room.

"Yeah." He was looking at the swinging ring at my chest. I blushed realizing I was still dressed in a thin tank top and flannel pants with little cats on them. "Where did you find the ring?" He asked still looking at it. His hand came forward and touched it gently.

"The night I left when I found it on the floor I pocketed with out anyone knowing. I didn't have the heart to leave it." I said taking off the necklace. I handed it to him. He looked at me confused.

"Why are you giving it back to me?" He asked looking at the thin silver band. If my head didn't hurt I would have been crying my eyes out.

"I figured it doesn't belong to me anymore. Since we're not, you know, and item." I said looking to the ground. I didn't want him to see the pain in my eyes.

"It doesn't matter. It still belongs to you. Not me or anyone else for that matter. Keep it." I felt the chain slip over my head and land against my skin. I smiled up at him. "Oh by the way, the next time I see a bottle of Corona in your room I will stick you in a very cold shower to sober you up. Your not supposed to drink when you have a child."

"I know. It was in the fridge along with two other bottles. I figured I could use a little bit of help last night. But for your information I haven't had a drink since before I got pregnant." I said poking him in the arm. He laughed softly careful not to shack Bella.

"Thats all I wanted to hear Jess." To hear my nickname come off his lips was a Godsend. He was the first one I ever let call me Jess. I always used to make people call me Jessica. Then after a few months of him calling me Jessi gave in and let everyone call me it. My dad called me Jay and my biological mother used to call me JJ when I was a kid. So many nicknames I had had but Jess aways got under my skin until he came along. The wonders love can do.

"So why didn't you go find Sarah?" I asked though it wasn't any of my business to be asking.

"I figured she'd find me when she's ready to talk." He said as if she didn't matter. I knew she did matter to him but for the moment it was just the two of us.

"Yeah. Again I'm so sorry about that. I didn't think she would blow up like that." I smiled sheepishly. I hated being the cause of his pain.

"I said once already thats its fine. I understand." He said and I could tell he was getting annoyed with me.

"Ok. The girl in Ty's bed is that Amber?" I asked.

"Yeah thats Amber Owens. She's perfect for him in every way. It took us three months to get them to date and before that they had been flirting none stop for three months. It was a relief when they went on their first date. You and her would like each other." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "You know she's actually scared to meet you." I chuckled.

"Why would she be scared of me?" I asked.

"You are just as protective of Tyler as he is of you. You know how bad he tried to beat be after you left?" He asked.

My eyes widened. "He did what?" I squealed softly.

"Oh yeah. He came bounding into my house pissed. His eyes were black as coal and he was on a mission no joke. He screamed at me and asked how I could have done that with you and gotten you pregnant. I was the responsible out of the four of us. We always thought that it would be Reid to become a father first. He hit me and I let him. He kept hitting me until he cried and left calling me ever name under the sun." Caleb said as I stared at him. I couldn't believe my brother had beaten the shit out of his friend, his leader, because of me.

"I'm sorry about that. I should have given him the heads up instead of calling him at the airport." I laughed softly. I heard Bella begin to stir. I looked to the clock and smiled. It was six thirty and breakfast time for me and Bella.

"Is it breakfast time?" He asked as if reading my mind. I giggled.

"Yeah. I also need some aspirin. Can you grab some out of the bathroom? I have a hangover." I smiled as he nodded. He left the room as I did. I headed for the stairs as he headed for Tyler's bedroom. I heard a thump and the voices that shouted where not those that I expected.

"What the fuck Caleb?" I heard Kate's voice shout. "Watch where the hell your going." She shouted again.

"What are you doing up this early anyway?" Pogue voice floated through the door.

I heard a soft 'huh' and I knew that it was either Tyler or Amber. I laughed and head down the stairs. I walked to the kitchen and pulled out the high chair and set Bella in it. She began to wail and I cringed my head throbbing at the noise.

I opened the and found a sippy cup of milk. I grabbed it and shut the door still hearing the screams from Bella as well as the muted cussing from upstairs. This time it was Reid's voice. I gave her the cup of milk and I reached into the cabinet and grabbed the box of Cheerios that I kept on hand for Bella.

I poured some into a dish I took off the drain board and set them on the table of the high chair. I sighed as I went back to the fridge and pulled out the mango and pineapple that I had hide for Tyler. He loved both those fruit and he tended to eat mine.

I heard a dish hit the floor and Bella's wail started again. I turned to look at her. She was pulling her right ear and that could only mean one thing. Her ear was hurting her. I gasped and walked towards her not caring that my head felt like someone was cutting it open and beating the innards. I put the back of my hand on her forehead and sighed. She was running a fever. "Cal..." I started to shout as I turned.

Caleb was right behind me with two aspirin. "Thanks." I said taking the two pills. And held them in my hand as I walked to the fridge to get a bottle of water. "Does Bella feel warm to you?" I asked as if it was a normal thing.

He did as I had done. "Yeah. I didn't notice it an hour ago. Is she ok?" He asked looking to the baby then me. I took the pills and looked at him.

"I think she just has an ear infection. I'll have to take her to the doctor." I said. "So are they getting up?" I asked.

"No." He said.

"Go get some sleep. I can see you haven't slept at all. I have to get her some Children's Tylenol and then get her to sleep in my room. Unless you want to us my room." I said picking Bella out of the high chair.

"I don't need sleep. I'll keep you company while Bella sleeps." He said and followed me upstairs. Why did these moments feel so right yet so wrong at the same time? Oh yeah because of Sarah. I sighed.

"Thanks." Sarah wasn't here and this was our baby. Caleb had a right to be here.

Oh yeah I don't think underage drinking is right blah blah blah...(though I have done it LOL) Um please update and as you cam see I am now doing personal responses to your reviews. So thanks in advance! Oh and sorry about the emotional rollercoaster that Jessica is when she is with Caleb. But she loves him and is kind of hating him for well you know...so thats why shes like that. Its not a writting issuse on my part its meant to be that way.
