A/N: So sorry for no updates for the past few weeks, been really busy. Promise to update in the next few days as often as possible. Thanks for the views and reviews. This is set a few days after the last chapter and Michael is now home. Nick is still there but for how long? These chapters will mainly focus on Liam and Kayden's father/son relationship.
Liam stood in his office with his arms around Tasha's waist, smiling. Tasha rested her head on his chest, "What a way to spend our anniversary, eh?" She chuckled and looked up at him
"Yeah." He smiled and leant down, kissing her softly on her lips, "I'll make it up to you later." He winked.
"Can't wait." Tasha grinned and pulled away slightly, "We better get back to work."
Liam nodded and let go of Tasha, holding the door open for her.
"Liam! Put her down you're needed in Resus!" Nick shouted across to him, smirking
Tasha shook her head and walked back to triage with Charlie and Tess.
...
Dixie and Jeff walked into the reception area with a young boy sat in a wheelchair, "Can you grab Nurse Jordan for us please Noel. I think she'd better deal with this one."
Liam looked up from the reception desk and frowned at the young boy, "Take him into CDU for us Dix'. I've got this one."
"Right, this is Kayden, 12. Been involved in a fight outside the school gates, severe bruising to his face and ribs, looks like he's taken a beating until you see the state of the other boy. You look like you gave as good as you got mate." She smiled slightly and walked off with Jeff. "Come on Jeffery!"
Liam pointed to the bed, "Sit."
Kayden sighed and winced as he climbed onto the bed.
"What were you doing outside the school gates at this time?! I dropped you off inside the gates an hour ago!"
"He was calling Danielle a slag!"
"That doesn't mean you have to kick his head in Kay'. It's name calling for god's sake! You're in high school now this isn't primary school anymore!"
"Oh so next time someone offers me a tenner to shag Danielle I should just walk off and do nothing?!"
Liam frowned deeply and started to assess Kayden's face and ribs
"I want Mum instead, you're too rough!"
Liam sighed and threw his gloves away, walking out of CDU towards triage, "Tash, you're sons in CDU I'm not dealing with him anymore!"
Tasha looked at him confused, "He's your son aswell?"
"Not if I had my way he wouldn't be!"
Tasha frowned at him and shook her head, walking into CDU, towards Kayden, "What's happened now Kay?"
Kayden looked down slightly, "I had a fight."
"I gathered that one." She sighed and started to treat him.
"Mum can I ask you something?"
"Depends what it is?" She smirked at him
"Why does Dad hate me?"
Tasha looked him in the face, shocked, "He doesn't!"
"He does. He never speaks to me and if he does it's shouting at me."
"He's just stressed at the minute babe."
Kayden sighed and lay back slightly on the bed, "It's obvious Michael's his favourite"
"He doesn't have favourites."
"Must just not like me then."
Tasha sighed and shook her head, "You two need to sit down and sort all this out. It's been going on for too long now. You both think you hate each other. He's your dad and you're his son. It's affecting everyone else now."
Kayden sighed and held his ribs
"You're all sorted, go sit in his office and wait for him."
Kayden sighed heavier and climbed off the bed, walking into Liam's office.
...
"You two need to talk." Tasha said as she stood behind Liam
"'Scuse me?"
"You and Kayden. You think he hates you and he thinks you hate him."
"Well maybe I do."
"Liam he's your son!"
"Is he?"
"Don't start this again Liam!"
"Start what? Saying he's not my son?"
"Well I don't know if he's my son or my brother!"
"I didn't sleep with your dad!"
"Well why were you both in the same bed?!"
"We'd had an argument and as far as I was aware, he wasn't coming home so I slept in his bed, he came home from work and got in the bed, nothing ever happened and nothing ever will happen. He's far too old for me Liam!"
Liam scoffed and folded his arms
"I thought we'd sorted this out Liam?!"
"Yeah So did I."
Tasha sighed and looked to the floor, "Just go and speak to him Liam."
Liam shook his head, "Where is he?"
"You're office."
Liam walked over to his office and opened the door.
...
Tasha ran towards Nicks office, knocking twice before opening the door, "I need to speak to you."
Nick raised an eyebrow, "About?"
"Kayden."
Nick sighed and put a hand to his head, "What's he done?"
"Well It's not really about Kayden, more about Liam. He's still believing Kayden's your son and not his."
"Nothing happened between us two?! We shared a bed and that was it!"
"Try telling Liam that. He wont believe me."
"Whats brought all this back up again?"
"Because Kayden thinks Liam hates him and Liams not exactly denying it!"
Nick sighed, "Where are they both now?"
"Liam's office."
"Do you think Liam will tell him?"
Tasha shrugged, "The way he's being at the minute it wouldn't surprise me."
Nick sighed and stood up, "We better go and find out."
The both left Nicks office and headed for Liams.
...
"Go on then. Why's your mother told us to come and talk?"
Kayden shrugged
"Well you've obviously said something to her to make her think i hate you."
"Well you do. Don't you?"
"I don't hate you Kayden."
Kayden nodded and played with his hands, "You never listen to me when I try to talk to you."
"That's because you never talk to me and when you do it's asking for something."
Kayden sighed, "See that's what I mean. When we all come home from school, you're straight over to Michael, lifting him up and asking him about Nursery. Then you go to Danielle and ask her about school and completely ignore me." He let a tear fall from his eye.
Liam looked to the floor slightly
"You're not even denying it. You constantly make me feel like I'm not wanted. Danielle even caught you asking Mum when my birthday was a few weeks ago."
Liam looked up at his with shock and embarrassment.
"When's Michael's birthday?"
"6th April."
"Danielles?"
"8th September."
"Mine?"
"15th March?" Liam asked, hoping it was right.
Kayden's eyes filled up and his anger built, "March?! Fucking March?! Dad, my birthday's tomorrow!"
Liam sighed and looked to the floor, "The 15th September."
"I got the number right."
Kayden shook his head and headed for the door, "Oh Fuck off. Liam!"
Kayden opened the door to Liams office and ran down the corridor
"Kayden!" Nick shouted as they reached the office "What did you say to him?!"
"I forgot his birthday was tomorrow."
Tasha and Nick both shot him dirty looks.
"You really are unbelievable, d'you know that!" Nick shouted and walked off in the same direction as Kayden. He reached the front door and scanned the car park, he stepped out of the car park on to the pavement and spotted Kayden running across the road, not seeing the car coming towards him.
"Kayden!" Nick shouted as he looked on in horror.
Nice long chapter for you to make up for no updates. I probably wont update tomorrow as it's my 18th birthday. Woop! But i will try update on Friday.
