Dylan was just staring straight ahead with his mouth open.
"Doctor?" Christian asked confused. Dylan still looked shocked. "Doctor!" Christian spoke louder and shook Dylan, he finally left his daze and looked at Christian. "Do you know my Daddy?" Christian asked with a little bit of hope.
Dylan had to think, this boy needed his father but dropping this on him, would that be a good idea? Dylan cleared his throat before speaking.
"Look Christian-" Dylan began to speak but was interrupted.
"Am I at the right hospital? Mummy told me he lived in Holby just like we have and works at a hospital. She gave me that photo before she left me." Christian asked, the poor little guy was so confused.
Dylan couldn't bring himself to words. How can he tell his work colleague that they have a son? A son he never knew he had. "Christian...follow me." Was all Dylan could say but it's a start: get the boy in the same building and room as his father. Christian got off the bench and followed behind Dylan, his little legs trying to keep up. Dylan took him to the relatives room. "Just stay here and I'll be right back." Dylan spoke while standing in the doorway.
"Will I see my daddy soon?" Christian asked as he looked up at Dylan
"Shortly." Was Dylan lying or telling the truth? He left the room, shut the door and exhaled deeply.
"Dylan? What's wrong?" Rita asked looking concerned
"Nothing. Can you keep an eye on the boy for me? Thanks." Dylan answered bluntly while he pointed at the door then walked off. Rita looked at him then looked through the window of the door to see Christian, she walked in.
"Hey Sweetie, I'm Rita, I'm a nurse. What are you doing in here on your own?" Rita kneeled down next to Christian
"That Doctor is going to get my daddy." Christian answered with a bit of excitement in his voice.
"Is one of your family members in hospital?" Rita asked with a frown but kept a comforting voice. Christian shook his head sideways.
"No, my daddy works here." Christian smiled.
"Oh who is he? I might know him." Rita asked, sounding quite excited herself.
"I don't know, I have this picture of him but he might of changed." Christian replied, sounding negative. Christian showed Rita the picture. Rita couldn't help but giggle at her colleagues near shoulder length hair and interesting taste in clothes. "Do you know him?" Christian beamed a little.
"Oh I think do." Rita giggled. Christian was beginning to get impatient so he got up and went to find his father, Rita shortly followed him. Christian ran into cubicles and literally ran into Cal.
"Careful sport." Cal looked down at the little boy. Christian stared up at Cal, amazed.
"You're tall." Christian smiled, Cal couldn't help but chuckle. Rita walked into the cubicles and Dylan walked and stood next to her and they both looked at Cal who had no clue that that little boy was his nephew...
I loved all of your guesses from my first chapter. A lot of brilliant ideas! : )
It was really hard to decide who the father was going to be, I pretty much spent the whole morning at work thinking who would be a suitable role (helped me relax a little) little predictable but oh wells, I think it's looking good so far : )
