A/N: Wow it's been almost two years! I feel so bad about leaving you guys hanging like I did. R&R please!
The men stared at her in shock. Shane walked up to her and took off her head phones and took away her walkman.
"Hey, I was listening to that." She protested.
"I don't care we were talking to you." He said calmly. She rolled her eyes at him,
"I don't see how this is any body else's business but my father's, mine, and the two potential fathers." She said.
"What about me, princess?" Mark asked quietly.
"You too, sorry." She said quickly.
"What about us? We all had a hand raising you, we all have been there for you, aren't we at least friends to you anymore?" Shane asked.
"You know it's not like that. It's just this is complicated enough as it is." She said exasperatedly.
"So is every day fucking life, Kayla, get used to it, it's called being an adult." Shane said getting angry.
"Hey that was a little harsh, she isn't an adult yet." Mark said.
"She was old enough to have sex and get pregnant, so she needs to start acting and being treated like an adult." Shane said. Paul nodded his agreement,
"It's true, we aren't family or considered uncles honorary or real, so our view of this situation is a little clearer than yours." He said.
"Shane you aren't helping me here…" Kayla said.
"I am though, sweets, more than you know. I just want you to think about this seriously. Even though those boys say they will be there they wont because they will have school and stuff. All of us will be there helping in every possible way; babysitting, feeding, changing diapers, holding, spoiling, just being around." Shane said. Kayla started crying, "God, sweets, don't cry, I hate when you cry." He said wrapping his arms around her. He held her in his arms rocking her back and forth, he sat down on the couch with her in his lap whispering and rubbing her back. Shawn sat back and watched it all, and shook his head at Mark when he tried to intervene. Paul and Steve exchanged wary glances then shrugged when Shawn again shook his head.
"You can go to the appointment with just those two, but come back and we will all including them sit down and talk about this, okay?" Shawn asked when his daughter had stopped crying. The guys had started to protest but Shawn simply shook his head,
"You said she was an adult and needed to act like one, in order to act like and behave like an adult we have to treat her as one." He said. The guys grumbled but agreed.
"Come on sweets lets get you back to the hotel, you're exhausted and you have a big day ahead of you." Shane said and they all left. Shane carried her out to his limo and sat with her still on his lap.
"I'm sorry sweets; I didn't mean to make you cry." He said honestly. She sniffed,
"It's okay, it just made me think and you were right." She whispered.
"I'm stupid, I messed up my whole life, and now you guys are stuck helping me." She said.
"No sweets, it's not like that we aren't stuck with you, we will stick because we want to, and we love you. You didn't mess up your life either you just made a mistake." He said. "I'll always be here for you, no matter what you need. I love ya, sweets." He said. "Thanks Shane you're the best." She said. He walked with her up to her hotel room. "Shane will you hang out with me for a little bit?" she asked.
"Sure." He said and walked in the room. They sat down and started watching a movie. Kayla kept fidgeting and moving around.
"What's wrong?" Shane asked.
"Nothing my back hurts is all." She said. He pulled her on his lap so she was facing him and began to rub her back. After the movie ended he checked he and she was asleep. He began to get up to leave when she looked at him.
"Will you stay until my dad gets here?" she asked. He nodded and got comfortable. About an hour and a half later Shawn came in the room.
"Shh! She's having trouble sleeping, her back hurts and I just got her to sleep." Shane whispered. Shawn nodded and Shane got up to leave. Shawn followed him out the door. "She asked me to come in and hang out, then she fell asleep and when I got to get up and leave she asked if I would stay until you came." Shane said.
"I didn't say anything." Shawn said.
"You were going to. She thinks she's a huge disappointment to us all and hates herself for it." Shane said. Shawn put his head in his hands and groaned.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Shane said then left. Shawn let himself back in the room and sat on the edge of his daughter's bed.
"I love you baby girl." He said and kissed her forehead.
The next day the guys waited impatiently at the arena for Kayla, Brock, and Josh to get back from the appointment.
"God damn how long do these things take?" Mark said irritably.
"I don't know a few hours I guess." Steve said looking up from his pacing.
"Any body else thirsty, I am going to go get something to drink." Glenn said. Every one grunted and Glenn shrugged and left. Shane looked at his watch then back at the men in front of him. Ten minutes later Kayla walked in the door followed by Brock and Josh. All the men got quiet and at sat down. She sat down in between her father and Mark. Josh and Brock stood by the wall.
"Josh is the father." She said looking at them. All eyes whipped to the boy and he met their stares. They all started talking at once.
"Shut up so we can talk about this like civilized people." Kayla shouted. Brock looked at her then walked towards her,
"Hey I'm going to go, okay?" he asked. She looked at him and nodded. She hugged him and he left. She sat down again but this time on the other couch and Josh moved to her side.
"We have agreed that he will pay child support, but won't really see them because we are so young. I made him agree to this when we get older we want to give it another try." She said.
"I wanted to be there for her but she insists I finish school and wait until we graduate." Josh said.
"I really want to be a part of her life and be there for my children." He said.
"You're a good boy but I think it would be for the best if you two waited." Shawn said. Josh nodded reluctantly,
"Yeah I guess, we agreed on a thousand a month, and extra when ever she needs it and when ever I can provide it. I work with my dad at his shop, he owns a garage and I have helped him since I was twelve so I have some money saved up." He said and shrugged. "Umm, by the way for those of you who don't know, this is Josh Matthews. Josh that's my dad Shawn, my Uncle Mark, Glenn, Steve, Paul, and Shane." She said and pointed at them and they nodded at him.
"Um guys we all have a meeting with Vince so we'd better go now other wise we'll be late." Shawn said and ushered the men out. Josh sat next to Kayla and took her hand in his. She smiled at him,
"Thanks." She said. He shrugged,
"No problem, I should be thanking you. I get the easy way out for a few years and you get all the responsibility." He said.
"Any time you want to see us you can you know." She said. "Yeah I know." He said. They sat in silence together and watched each other. He reached over and hugged her, "We'll be okay." He muttered into her hair.
"Yeah, we will." She agreed.
