I wanted to get this up by Christmas but that day was just to busy but I stayed up all night trying to finish and I finally did. I'm happy to say this chapter is much longer then that last one so I hope you all enjoy.
Warning though that this chapter does have swearing in it.
For Lunch, the boys sit at their usual table in the cafe, all dreading the rest of the day. Well that changed when Tyler sees Jenna come into the cafe. Everyone at the table, except one, notices how his face brightens up. They look towards the direction where he is looking and catches on.
"Why don't you ask her to come join us?" Pogue says, getting Tyler's attention. Tyler blushes but nods his head. He stands from the table and walks over to her.
"Hey you" She says with a smile when she sees him.
He smiles and puts his hands in his pocket. "Hey. I was wondering if you wanted to join me for lunch."
"I was wondering what was taking you so long to ask. I thought you were getting ashamed of me." She comments with a smile.
Tyler scoffs and pulls her a little closer. "Never."
Caleb looks up from his plate and notices they were a boy short. "Where did Tyler go?"
Pogue points to the talking couple with a smile. Caleb shrugs and goes back to his food.
"You know it would be nice to show him a little happiness." Reid comments with annoyance. Kate notices the tension and elbows Pogue. Pogue looks at her, and watches her nod her head to Caleb. He just sighs and shrugs his shoulder.
"What do you want me to do? Jump up and down for joy. I'm happy for him alright." Caleb answers. Kate scoffs and turns away, while Pogue just rolls his eyes.
"Really? Well one would think otherwise." Reid spits out.
Caleb looks around the table and notices the tension towards him. "What the hell do you want me to do? I can't always be your fearless leader." He calls out to them.
"We don't want you to be." Pogue says back.
"Just show something Caleb that's all. Jenna is a sweet girl and she makes his happy. He really likes her okay and chances like this don't come easy for Tyler, especially a girlfriend." Reid break out. Finally reaching a breaking point and standing up for his friend.
"I know that." Caleb says, surprised at the outcome of this.
"Really? You know that? Do you even remember what it's like having a girlfriend, considering you are abandoning yours right now." Reid says as he places his hands on the table and stands up, glaring down at Caleb.
After his comment though, Caleb stood right up being face to face with Reid. "You have no idea what you are talking about." He retaliates back.
"Then why don't you explain it to me, or Pogue, or I don't know, your girlfriend or just someone Caleb." Reid yells, attracting the attention of everyone in the cafe.
Tyler tears his attention away from Jenna when he hears the raised voices of his brothers, He was just about to walk towards the table when he felt someone grab his shirt. He turns back to see Sarah looking at him.
"Sarah what is it?" He asks, scared that something was wrong with the baby.
"Tyler it's Robbie." She says.
Tyler whips his head to the table and yells, "Reid."
Reid turns away from Caleb to see Tyler looking at him, then runs out of the cafe, with Sarah in front of him. From the look of worry and panic on Tyler's face, Reid doesn't question it and runs after him, with the rest of the members from his table right behind him.
...C...
"Let go of me. I want my Daddy." Robbie cries out as he tries to pry Aaron's hands off his shirt. Crocodile tears run down his face but he couldn't find the release away from this guy.
"Daddy...Dadddy. Please leave me alone. I want my daddy." He cries out.
"Well why don't you be a good little boy and we will go get your daddy." Aaron sneers out. His goons laugh but Kira stays back, not sure how to deal with this situation.
"No I want my daddy now." He screams out.
"Robbie." Someone calls out. Robbie looks to see Tyler running to him.
"Tyer." He cries out.
Tyler rips Aaron's hands off of Robbie and pulls the boy into his arms.
"What the-" Aaron started, but before he could finish he is tackled to the ground.
"Daddy." Robbie cries but Sarah brings him into her arms and away from the brawl.
Reid didn't know how it happen. All he remembers seeing is Aaron's hand on Robbie and Robbie crying out for him before he saw Red and charged. He blind sides Aaron straight into the floor and just starts wailing on him.
"Garwin get the fuck off me." Aaron yells out. Caleb, Tyler, and Pogue, along with all of Aaron''s friend try to break up the fight but Reid was uncontrollable.
"What the fuck were you doing with my son? Huh you piece of shit." Reid yells out as he pounds his fist into Aaron's face again and again. Aaron pushes back and Reid loses his balance. Caleb catches him and tries to drag him away.
"Reid come on lets go." Caleb says, trying to get a good grip on Reid who is thrashing around in his arm.
"No I'm gonna kill him." Reid says out loud
Aaron's friends are also trying to hold their raging friend back, with difficulty. "Your son huh? What the hell is your son doing here in the fucking school?" Aaron tosses back.
Reid gets out of Caleb's grip and dodges Pogue and Tyler going straight to his target. Aaron tries to run into him but Reid is stronger and slams the curly hair boy into the lockers.
"That is none of your fucking business." He grabs Aaron's collar and slams his fist into Aaron's jaw. "Don't your ever touch my son again." He spits out to Aaron before punching him in the jaw again and again. Both Pogue and Caleb grabs both of Reid's arms and pulls him away, but not before Reid kicks Aaron one last time, in the nuts. Aaron falls to the ground, groaning in pain.
Pogue and Caleb was able to drag Reid outside the dorm rooms with Tyler right behind them.
"Reid calm down now." Pogue tells him and makes his sit on the stairs. They could all tell that he was still fuming on the inside but he finally just sits still but continues to rub his knuckles which they notices that it has blood on them.
"I'm gonna go inside and see if I can get an icepack and some napkins." Tyler says and runs inside, but not before putting his hand on Reid's shoulder and gives him a sympathetic squeeze.
"What the hell where you thinking? What the hell was Robbie doing here Reid?" Caleb says, not waiting one second to reprimand him.
"And here it comes." Reid scoffs out loud but still not turns to look at Caleb.
"Yes it does. What is he doing here? You brought your son to school? Are you stupid or something?" Caleb lets out.
"No I'm not stupid. You don't know what the fuck you are talking about and why the hell should I tell you? You don't talk to any of us and we all know something is going on. So I'll start talking when you do."
Tyler comes back out and they all turn towards him. "Robbie is in Kate and Sarah's room. He want you." He says. Reid doesn't waste any time and runs with Tyler to the girls room.
Pouge turns back to Caleb. "He's right man. What's going on with you?"
Caleb sighs and turns around. "Stop shutting me out. Stop shutting the boys out, Stop shutting Sarah out. Kate told me she never eats anymore." Pogue says.
Caleb whips around."What?"
"She doesn't get a lot of sleep and she barely eats anymore. Whatever is going on with you, you have to fix it. Now or you'll lose more than Sarah." Now it was Pogue's turn to leave before Caleb could say anything else.
...C...
Reid and Tyler make their way into the room and sees Robbie lying down on one of the beds with Sarah pressing a wet cloth on his forehead. Once Robbie sees Reid, he jumps up and runs to his dad. Reid picks him up and holds on to him tight. He sits down on the bed with Robbie in his lap, when he notices something wet on his shirt.
"Robbie why are you wet?" He asks and pulls his son arms length, looking over Robbie's body.
"Please don't be mad at me but I think I went pee pee when I was sleeping. I woke up and my bed was all wet. I didn't know what to do so I look for you." Robbie cries out. Reid pulls him closer and comfort him. "It's okay buddy. Don't worry. It's okay. Why don't we get you some change of clothes." He picks Robbie up and stands up walking to the door.
"We're going to go to my room." He tells everyone. Sarah and Kate nod. Sarah rubs her hand through Robbie's hair before Reid starts walking towards the door.
"I'll come with you." Tyler says making his way to his best friend's side.
"Me too. I can change the sheets for you." Jenna says as she links her hand through Tyler's. Tyler looks at her and squeeze her hand while Reid gives her a small smile and a nod. Once the trio leaves the room Caleb quietly makes his way into the room.
"Sarah can I talk to you?" He whispers to her. Even though she was a little hesitant, she nods her head and follows him out of the room. Once Pogue and Kate are alone in the room, Kate runs into Pogue's arms and holds him tight. He wraps his arms around her and rubs her back.
"What a day." She sighs out in his chest. He chuckles and kisses her head.
"Yes it was. You ready for all that?" He asks as he leads them to lay down on her bed.
She cuddles to the side of him and answers, "Well I'm a little scared."
"A little?" He chuckles into her ear, happy to see her smile and shakes her head.
"Fine I'm really scared but I know in the end it will all be worth it." She says as she lifts her head to look at his face.
He brings his hand to her cheek and kisses her softly on the lips. "If you are there, it will be."
...C...
Sarah and Caleb make their way to the steps in front of the dorm rooms but Sarah make sure to keep a distance from him. As much as she loved him, she still was hurt and betrayed from him. Especially because he still isn't given her any explanation.
"Listen Sarah-" Caleb started but Sarah wouldn't let him finish.
"No you listen Caleb, I may not be your wife or someone with an importance in your life like I thought I did-" She starts. Caleb is just about to say something but she dismisses him with a wave of a hand. "I still am carrying your child so I think I still should at least know what is going on in your life so I can choose if I want my child to be around it." She finishes trying to keep a straight face but she could tell she was failing as heat starts to raise to her face and her eyes begin to burn.
"Sarah I know that but it's so complicated." Caleb tries to say.
"Then explain it to me or try to or something. I still love you Caleb and I thought I was your girlfriend."
"You are my girlfriend and I love you too." Caleb tells her.
She just crosses her arms over her chest."Then what is wrong Caleb? Everything was good, we were both excited for the baby, and then nothing. It was like I repelled you."
"That's not it."
"Then what is it Caleb?" She asks on the brink of desperation. Caleb sighs and runs his hand down his face. He was hoping this day wouldn't have to come. He knew at this point he was probably going to lose Sarah, but why shouldn't he? He knows he has been treating her horribly this past week, not to mention, he has been treating his son horribly these past two days. He sits down on the steps and sighs. Sarah lets out a sharp breath and sits down next to him.
"Please Caleb stop shutting me out, I promise I won't judge you just let me in." She pleads.
Caleb looks at her, dwelling his options, before nodding his head towards her and stands up, sticking his hand to her. "I need to show you something." He tells her.
Sarah, not sure what to think or do, finally comes to a decision and places her hand in his.
...C...
In the boy's room, Jenna and Tyler were remaking Robbie's bed. Both would sneak a peek at each other and every time they would catch the other looking, they would both share a giggle. In the bathroom the atmosphere was a little different. Kind of awkward.
"I'm sorry Daddy." Robbie whispers quietly. He keeps his eyes down, scared to look at Reid. Surprisingly it hurt Reid to know Robbie was scared to look at him. He wasn't going to be his father. He wanted Robbie to know that he could come to him for anything.
"Robbie I'm not mad at you, I'm just scared." He admits. He didn't know what this meant for him and Robbie. Will he get expelled? Will he lose Robbie because of this? He felt his heart drop at the thought of losing Robbie.
"Why are you scared?" Robbie asks. Sadly though his face did not lift.
"Because I'm scared I'm going to get in trouble. I'm scared I'm going to lose you. That someone will come and take you away from me." Reid tells him as he rubs Robbie's blonde bangs out of his blue eyes. Finally Reid was able to look into his son's eyes and he sees fear also. Before he could comfort Robbie, he found himself in Robbie's hold, comforting him. He wraps his arms around his son and held on tight, scared that this will be the last time.
"I'm not going anywhere Daddy. I love you to much." Robbie whispers in Reid's neck. Reid is lost for words. He really doesn't know what to say and even if he did, it would get stuck in his throat as tears threaten to fall from his eyes. That was until he kisses Robbie's forehead and notices how hot it really was. He pulls back and places his hand on his forehead.
"You have a fever. Are you still feeling junk?" He asks Robbie. Worry already rising in his voice.
Robbie nods. "Yeah I wanted to tell you but that scary guy wouldn't let me go. I thought he was gonna hit me like the bad man that was with mommy. I didn't know what to do but I really don't feel good daddy."
"Alright you stay here. I'm gonna look for something and I'll be right back."
He waits for Robbie to nod before leaving the bathroom. He sees Tyler and Jenna sitting on the bed across from each other, talking. "Hey do we have a thermometer?"
"I don't know." Tyler answers but he stands up and looks around the room. That was until they heard a retching sound coming from the bathroom. Jenna was the closest to the bathroom and runs and opens it to see Robbie barfing on the floor and his clothes. She grabs the nearest towel and starts wiping the barf off his clothes. She heard Reid and Tyler beginning to come.
"Wait come in slowly. There is barf on the floor." She yells out. She sees Reid walking in but she could see worry etched on his face. He comes to Robbie and feels his forehead.
"I don't think this is normal." He admits to Jenna.
Jenna feels his forehead and stills. "I don't think so either. Reid I need you to relax but I think you should take him to the hospital. He has a really high fever."
Reid doesn't ask any question, he just grabs Robbie and goes. Jenna looks torn and then she feels Tyler touch her arm.
"Go to the hospital with them. I'll stay here and clean up and bring Robbie some clean clothes." He tells her as he hands her the keys to his car. She nods and gives him a kiss on the cheek before running out.
...C...
Jenna and Reid sit awkwardly in the waiting room while was getting checked over by the doctor. When they got to the hospital Robbie was sweating and pale white. He shifted constantly while in the car, moaning and groaning. Unfortunately Reid had no information to tell the doctor, he didn't know what Robbie's last name was, what his birthdate is. Nothing so the doctor wouldn't let him come. Told Reid and Jenna to wait patiently in the lobby. Reid called Tyler before he came to bring all the bags Robbie brought with him to see if he could get any more information.
"Thank you for helping me." Reid quietly tells her but keeps his focus on the ground.
"No problem. Thank you for letting me help. So this is your son? How old is he?" She asks.
"One. I think anyways. I only just met him a couple months ago." Reid admits.
"What? How is that possible?" Jenna asks, surprise still etched on her face. She knows who the sons of Ipswich are..Everyone does. But she never ever thought once that Reid Garwin was a father, let alone, a loving and caring one at that.
"His mom dropped him off. Just came to my doorstep, said she didn't want him anymore and left. I haven't stopped loving him since."
"I can tell. I think everyone could tell today." She tells him, with a small smile coming upon your face.
"Sorry I beat the shit out of your ex-boyfriend." Reid tells her. She finally witness the famous Garwin smirk. She realizes why all the girls fall for it but there was a blue eye brunette that already made her weak in the knees.
"Hey don't sweat it, I applaud you." She tells him and she smiles when she hears him laugh. She thinks it might be the first time he has laugh since lunch. They both turn to see Tyler come running in with all of Robbie's bags. They bring the bags to the chairs and Reid automatically starts looking.
"What's going on?" Tyler asks.
Reid is thrashing around through the bags, looking at everything in the bag and all the pockets. "They wouldn't let me in." He answers bluntly.
"Why not?"
"Cause I don't know anything about him." Reid snaps out. Tyler and Jenna sit there embarrassed. Then Reid sighs and rubs his hands over his face.
"Sorry I'm just worried. I don't know what's going to happen." He sighs out but continues on his search. He digs deep in the bag and pulls out a card.
Emergency contact for Robbie Whitaker
Whitney Whitaker- 555-8730
He looks at the card who this woman is. Is this the girl that dropped him off at Reid's house? He still doesn't remember her name. His thoughts were broken when he saw the doctor coming towards him.
"So were you able to get a hold of anyone?" The doctor asks.
"No but I can tell you that his name is Robbie Whitaker and he is my son so can you please tell me what is wrong with him." Reid orders, tired of getting pushed to the side.
The doctor sighs but finally nods his head. "Your son has a fever or 102.3, which is high for someone his age. We can either keep him here and help him keep his fever down or you can take him home but he will need attention and rest."
"Other then that he will be ok. It's just a fever?" Reid asks.
The doctor nods. "I'll give you a few minutes."
Reid sighs and turns to Tyler. "I have to keep him here. I don't have any place to take him. Now the school knows he has been there. Crap and that's something else I have to look at."
"Maybe you can take him to my place. I know my mom won't mind." Tyler suggest.
"But I can't always depend on you Tyler." He sighs ans shakes his head. "I have to make a call." He tells them in discreet and walks away. He makes his way to an empty hallway and leans against the wall. He takes his cellphone out and the piece of paper and dials.
"Hello." A soft feminine voice answers at the end.
"Robbie is in the hospital with fever and if you care at all you'll come to Ipswich." He says quickly and hangs up.
