Hey everyone.. how are you liking the story so far? I hope you enjoy this chapter. Always feel free to offer suggestions and let me know your opinions.
After this whole Chase incident things have definitely been interesting. Caleb and Pogue have pregnant girlfriends and Tyler has a daughter to take care of and today Tyler finally grew some balls and was actually talking to a girl.
Reid didn't know if Tyler was ready for this one but he hope so and he believed in Tyler. He deserve a good girl in his life.
Reid went home for the weekend because his mom said she wanted to spend some time yet when he got there she said she had to do something. His cousin Drake was there because his dad was out of town and my uncle doesn't trust him being there by him self so he has been staying over for about two weeks.
Reid was in his room when he heard a knock at the door but he thought Drake got it then there was a knock at his bedroom door.
"Yeah." Reid says out loud and Drake came into the room.
"There somebody at the door and they have a kid." Reid thought it was Tyler so he got up from the bed and walked down the stairs. He sees a guy and a girl who looked very familiar and a boy who was sitting on the ground. The boy looks a lot like Reid which scared the crap out of him.
"Can I help you?" He starts.
The girl step towards him. "You don't remember me do you?" He looks her over but couldn't recognize her. She has long blond straight hair and brown eyes.
Reid shakes his head. "No am I suppose too."
"Depends are you suppose to remember every girl you have sex with?" She snobs him and crosses her arms over her chest.
"I don't know you tell me." Reid replies back.
Then the guy stepped in front of her. "Hey buddy back off."
"You're telling me to back off? This is my house you stupid shit, so tell me what you want and get out of my house." Reid yells out towards them. He hated people who walked around like they own the whole damn place. Sure he acted like that to sometimes but he would never let that happen in his own house.
"This is your kid and I'm tired of taking care of him so now it's your turn. See ya." She answers casually and walks out with the man, leaving the kid behind. Reid runs out the house after her.
"So what no good bye? Don't you think you should at least explain it to him?" He yells out towards her and right before she got into the car she turns around.
"No I don't care about him. He is just a waste of my time and now he is your. Kind of like the twenty minutes I spent with you." She answers and then slam the door and drives away.
"What a bitch." He whispers then walks back into the house. He sees the little kid sitting there looking at the ground. He walks up to him but the boy sunk away, like he wanted to get away.
"No no it's okay I won't hurt you." He tells him and tries to walk closer to him. This time he didn't move. Reid grabs his bag and moves his hands towards him.
"Come on. Let's make you a little more comfortable." He offers the boy. He took his time but eventually reached up towards Reid. Reid grabs him and lifts him up, placing him on his hip and brings him into the living room. Reid puts him down on the soft couch. When Reid put him on the couch, he bounces, which he wasn't expecting, and starts bouncing some more. Reid sees him laughing a little.
"Having fun?" Reid asks and sits across from him on the coffee table. The little boy stops boucing but nods.
"No you can keep bouncing if you want. I just need to ask you a few question. Can you answer them for me?" Reid explains. He didn't know why he was so gentle with this boy. He knew he had to get a paternity test but was a part of him already knew he was Reid's child. He had the skin, blonde hair, blue eyes. He looked actually like Reid did when he was young.
"So when you were you born?" Reid asks.
"Marr thirtree." He answers, alerting Reid that he was just learing how to talk.
"How old are you?" He lifts up one finger.
"One years old?" Reid asks in assurances and he nods.
"What's your name?" He looks up at Reid then looks back down.
"Robbie." He answers quietly.
Drake comes into the room. "So who's the kid?" he asks as he leans on the cushion he was next to.
"This is Robbie and supposedly he is my son." Reid answers truthfully.
Drake eyes grow big. "What are you going to do?" Reid shakes his head and sighs.
"Alright listen Robbie we need to go somewhere but I need you to trust me. Can you trust me?" Reid asks, laying his hand out in front of Robbie. He looks up from Reid's hand to Reid, then to Drake and back and forth. "I'm not going to hurt you." Reid comforts. He moves to the side of him. He places his finger under Robbie's chin, so Robbie could look him in the eyes. "You can trust me."
Reid looks back and forth from Drake to Robbie before finally settling on Robbie. "Robbie has anyone tried to hurt you?"
He doesn't answer and looks away. Reid notices him clutching his arm. He softly tries to move Robbie's hand but Robbie start panicking.
"Hey It's okay Robbie, It's okay. I just want to look." Reid tries to comfort him. After a few second, Robbie stops and moves his hand. Reid slowly lifts Robbie's sleeve and gasps. He had bruises going up his arms. Reid gently cupped his chin and lifted his head.
"Robbie I am never going to hit you. You understand?" He just looked at Reid and starts crying. Then he did something unexpected. He wraps his arms around Reid's waist.
Reid was shocked to say the least. The only kid that he every played around with was Brooklyn but she wasn't big enough to hug but feeling Robbie put his arms around Reid, made him feel something he's never felt before. It made him want to protect this kid, from anything and everything. Drake walks up to Reid. "I think he'll be just fine." He comments with a smile, putting his hand on Reid's shoulder then walks out.
"So do you trust me?" Reid asks. Robbie lets go and nods his head, smiling. Reid nods. Since he was already in his jacket, Reid stands up and picks him up and they walk to the door. As he walks to the door he see a car seat on the ground and takes it.
"Drake we'll be right back." Reid yells out. Drake came out and nod then walked back to where he was. After trying to put the car seat in, Reid finally got it to work and was off on their way to the hospital. When they arrived, Reid carried him inside and went to the receptionist desk.
"Hey I was wondering if I could take a DNA test?"
"Well your in luck because one of the appointment was cancel and I think we can squeeze you in." It took about an hour before they could see a doctor. Robbie was sleeping in Reid's arms when the doctor came. "So who would the test be for?" the doctor asked. This was the same doctor that helped out Pogue when he was here.
"For us two. I have to find out if he is my son." Reid answers as he adjustes Robbie on his hip.
"Well Mr. Garwin what would your father have to say about this?"
Reid's dad was still alive but he hardly ever talks to him. He wasn't addicted like Caleb's dad but he was also never there. "He doesn't know yet."
"Well this will be fast but the test result won't come back till a few weeks." he said and Reid nods.
They got settled into the room and the doctor did Reid first. He wipes the inside of Reid's cheek then put it in a container. Robbie was a little scared but Reid promised him it was harmless and he relaxed. It went by quickly and he was fine after. "So I'll call you in a few days." The Doctor tells him and then Reid and Robbie make their way out of the hospital.
Before Reid turns on the car, he looks back in the car to Robbie. "So what do you want to eat?" Reid asks him and Robbie shrugs. "you want some ice cream? I know a pretty good place that sells ice cream." Reid suggested and Robbie's eyes beamed with him nodding.
"Okay ice cream it is. Then we have to go over a friend of mines house now remember what I said if anybody tries to hurt you just let me know." Reid reminds him, he nods and then off to the ice cream store they were.
When they got to the store, Reid noticed that a lot of people were staring at him, probably wondering why he had a kid with him. Reid just sighs and lets it go and continues his way up to the counter. "Hey Chuck can I get a ice cream cone please?" He asks and Chuck nods.
"Sure. What flavor?"
Reid looks down at Robbie. "So which one do you want?"
He points to the chocolate chip mint flavor. Reid double checks to make sure and recieves a nod.
"Hey Chuck can I have one Mint?" he nods and went to make the cone.
"So how are you liking Ipswich Robbie?" Reid asks, making conversation.
"Green." he said in his kids accent.
"Yeah lots of trees and leaves but once you get used to it, it gets comforting." Reid tells him with a friendly smile and Robbie smile at him.
Robbie gives Reid a smile, and Reid smiles back at how this boy is making him want to be a good person. Reid felt himself wanting to be his father, and a good on at that. His own father way a dick, and Reid always promised himself to never be like that with his own kids. "Would you want to live here with me?" Reid slowly asks.
Robbie nods his head, with a grin from ear to ear, matching the one on Reid's face. "Good because I want you too." Reid tells him and gives him a kiss on the head. It shocked Reid, at first, how easy it is to open and soft with Robbie but was slowly growing comfortable with it.
No sooner then that Chuck came back with his cone. Reid grabs a napkin and put it around his cone. "Thanks Chuck." Reid says and waves goodbye.
"Bye Garwin." Chuck says and Reid and Robbie walk out. They stayed in the parking lot while they shared thr cone then drove to Tyler's. Reid gets out of the car and open Robbie's door who was already waiting to get out of his car seat waiting for Reid to help him out of the car.
"Alright this is my buddy's house. We are like this." Reid show his fingers crossed then continues. "So he's kind of like my brother. He will not hurt you. There are two other boys in there they are cool they are like my brothers too but they think before they do stuff unlike me and Tyler where we live our live on the edge. Do you get what I'm saying?" Robbie shakes his head and Reid laughs and kisses his head.
"okay the three guys in there are like my brothers and they will not hurt you alright?"
He nods to Reid. Reid lifts him out of the car, carrying him on my hip. He knocks on the door hoping someone would hear it so they wouldn't have to stand here for to long.
Pogue answer the door. "Hey Reid." then he sees Robbie and gets curious. "Who's this little guy?" he asks.
"Pogue this is Robbie, Robbie this is Pogue."
"Ro…. Ro…..Rogue." Robbie attempting to say his name. Reid and Pogue start laughing. "Close enough buddy." Reid tells him as they step in the house. Reid takes Robbie into the living room. "So where is everybody?" Reid asks Pogue, who was leaning against the doorframe.
"They're in the kitchen then later we're going to help Tyler unpack. So are you going to start explaining?" He motions to Robbie.
"Yeah but later with all of you the room so I only have to explain it once I'll be right there." Reid answers as he set Robbie on the couch. Pogue nods his head and leaves the room.
"Okay Robbie listen to me I need you to stay on this couch until I come and get you okay?" he nods.
"If you need me just call my name and I'll come and get you." he nods again.
"You promise?" he nods then Reid lift his pinky and he twists his pinky with Reid's.
"Good" Reid says as he lets go. Reid rub his head then giving it one light kiss at the top and walking to the kitchen where Pogue, Caleb, and Tyler were there.
"So how much did you tell them?" Reid asks Pogue who lifts his hands up in defense.
"I only told them that there was a kid named Robbie who called me Rogue."
Reid chuckles. "it was cute." He tells him, lightly hitting him in the chest.
"I didn't say it wasn't it. So start explaining."
"Well at my place I got a knock at my door and this guy and a girl and Robbie was there. This girl was a bitch and started off about how I don't remember girls I have sex with and everything. Well anyways when I told them to get right to the point she said this is your kid and she didn't want to take care of him anymore bye."
"Wait so just like that and then she left?" Tyler asked.
"Yup I ran out of course saying that maybe you should explain why you're just leaving and she said no I don't want to he is just a waste of time and stuff and drove off."
Tyler scoffed. "What a bitch."
Reid nodded. "That exactly what I said."
"So what are you going to do?" Caleb asked.
"well I got a test to make sure but I have a feeling he is mine. You guys this boy is traumatized."
"What do you mean?" Pogue says, looking out the room into the living room.
"this kid is so scared and it is because he was hit or just handle way to roughly. He has bruises all up his arms. I don't know what they did."
Tyler winches. "poor kid."
"You guys even if his isn't mine I'm still going to take care of him."
"What?" Reid rolls his eyes because he knew Caleb would act like that. "You're going to take care of a kid. You can't even take care of your-self."
"Look I know you won't understand and you can't believe in me cause hey I haven't given you any reason too but Caleb I feel for this kid. I feel like I should be there. He trusts me and I am not going to take that away from him." Everyone was quiet after that.
Like a pregnant pause. "Wow Reid that is the deepest thing you have ever said in your life." Pogue said breaking the silence with a laugh.
"Ree….Ree." They all looked around till Pogue points to the ground. They see Robbie crawling on the ground. Reid runs to him and lift him up.
"What's a matter?" He ask. Running his hands over Robbie's blonde hair. Reid just wanted to give all the love in the world for this kid.
"Hungie….Want…Bo..ttle." Robbie answers but Reid laughs. He knew he was going to have to teach him how to talk. Reid could feel the guy's stare on his back but he ignores it.. "Did your mom leave your bottle in the bag?" Reid asks and he shrugs at the question.
Just then the baby monitor went off. Tyler moved toward then. "Hey Robbie. I'm Tyler." Tyler says gently. If it was anybody who knew how to handle a baby it would be Tyler.
Robbie smiled and Tyler's smile grew even big. "You want to come with me? I can give you a bottle" He asked.
Reid smiles when he sees Robbie nod. He hands Robbie over to Tyler.
"We'll be back." He says and Reid watches Tyler take him up the stairs. Reid turns look back to see Caleb's hand on his shoulder.
"Never mind Reid I was wrong. You're ready." Reid smiles at him.
