Short crazy story

warning

Knight invites Mark in. The three are now sitting on the couch. Shane told Mark everything, he wants to settle this, before it gets worse. He drove straight here, and he will him the truth. He needs to know; Mark needs to make sure Knight knows every detail. Steve has other plans, yet he doesn't know what to say.


Chapter 5

Mark is glaring at Steve. He wants to yell at Knight, for messing with his daughter. She did nothing wrong, yet here he is, causing her trouble. But he keeps calm, he understands. He decides to talk first. He looks at Austin.

"One night we were drunk." Mark starts "And We both flirted, and then one thing led to another."

Knight listens to him carefully.

"We did it, that night. The next morning, we woke up. I did wake up with a big headache also with a sharp pain on my side. Yet, I did enjoy that night. I wanted more but you had other plans" Mark says

Austin sighs, he doesn't want to hear this.

"A sharp pain?' Knight says

"Yes, he kicked me off the bed. He got so angry, he just kicked me right on the ribs. Of course I wake and ask him what's wrong. We discuss it. I told him, we did it, and we should, I don't know, talk about it. But you kicked me out!"

Knight looks at Austin. He is still silent.

"You shouted at me. You cussed at me. You just told me to get out. Didn't even gave us a chance" Mark says. "You shut me out. You didn't even tell me, you were pregnant"

Austin shakes his head.

"Please Austin. Tell him the truth. You hid from me. You threaten me to stay away" Mark says "And you...just ignored me"

Knight looks at Austin, pleading to tell him the truth. He doesn't know what to say. He blinks, he shakes his head. Shane did tell him that he has records, letters from him. He can just show them to Knight and that it.

"It's true" Austin admits.

Knight gasps.

"I kept it a secret. I didn't want anybody to know. I never wanted anyone to know. The only one who knew is Kurt." Steve says "I was embarrassed. I didn't want to go out and say look I'm pregnant. I am the man!"

Mark looks down.

"So yes. I kept it a secret. I never told Mark about you. I never even mention anything to him. All I ever told Mark is to stay the fuck away from me"

Knight gets up, he runs upstairs.

"KNIGHT!" Austin shouts. Mark sees him go. "Come back here"

"leave him, he is upset"

"Because of you!' Austin shouts

"Oh stop it." Mark says "Just stop this. Nothing you say or I say will make it better. The truth is out. So now, let's work together to raise him"

"Right, right...like that would work"

"Yelling at me won't work" Mark says

"It's all your fault!' Steve shouts

"You know what. I'm tired.' Mark stands up. He rolls up his sleeves and gets ready to fight. "If you want to keep yelling at me, then fight me instead. Let's settle this like men"

Austin stands up quickly "Fine"

Austin punches first only for Mark to dodge it. He hits him with a right hook. Austin groans in pain as he stumbles back. Steve shouts as he goes low and tackles Mark down. He starts throwing punches at him. Mark blocks here and there. Mark shoves him off, he gets up. He kicks Austin ribs. He rolls overs, trying to catch his breath. Austin sees a remote, he throws it to Mark. He dodges it, as he did, Austin kicks his ribs. He punches his face. The two keep fighting, blood is drawn out. The two won't give up at all. After a few hits, kicks, Mark has him pin down. Steve struggles to get set free. He glares at Mark, he really is the dominate. He gives up.

"Okay, okay. I'm sorrry"

Mark nods as he gets up. He sits down right on the couch. "Good. Now, let's leave it all in the past. And move forward. No more yelling, no more fighting. Just us trying to get better"

Austin nods, he is right. There is nothing he can do. The two stay quiet, wondering what to do. Austin gets up, he goes upstairs. He knocks at the door. "Knight, come on. Let's talk"

Mark goes up to follow him. He is right behind him. The two are waiting for an answer. Steve opens the door, the two see him, laying on the bed. He is shaking. Austin goes up to him, he hugs him tight.

"I'm sorry, I am so sorry" Steve says "I didn't want to be the bad guy. So I put the blame on Mark"

"You lied to me. You made me believe Mark abandon me"

"I know. I'm so sorry. Knight. I was scared, I was so scared and stupid. All I cared about was my reputation. I didn't even bother to think about you." Austin says "I was so angry, so so angry when I find out i was pregnant. But then, you were born. I did have a change of heart, but still remain stubborn." Steve says "I was so glad that you came to this world"

Mark stays by the door. He is listening to the two.

"Will you forgive me?" Austin says

Knight smiles, he nods. He gets up to hug his papa. The two share a moment. Mark smiles, he is glad that is all off his chest. Knight leans back to look at Mark. He doesn't say anything.

"Don't be mad at him. Remember, I never told him about you. I kept it all to myself. Because of me, he missed out part of your life"

"And I want to be part of your life from now on" Mark says "If you will let me. I promise, I will work hard to make it up to you. I will be there to.."

Knight goes off running to him. He hugs him tight. "It's okay"

Mark hugs him back, Knight feels those strong protective arms around him. He feels something warm, in his heart. He feels better, safe. He doesn't want to move from this hug. He wants to stay in his arms, so he can feel safe. As the time goes by. Mark is kneeling in front of Knight.

"You have to talk to Alexa. Apologize to her. She will also give you an apology"

"No worries. It was my fault" Knight says "i got jealous, because you didn't want me. And you wanted her more."

"I would never.."

It's okay. I know the truth" Knight says "I will talk to her" He notice blood on Mark's eyebrow. He looks at his papa, he is also bleeding. "What happen?"

"Your dad and I had to-" Mark starts but Austin stops him.

"We needed to fight. We had to release this anger within us. And it did. It help us think clearly"

Knight looks at his papa "Are you okay?" Steve nods

"To be honest, I am feeling a lot better" Steve says

Knight nods he looks at his dad. "How about you?"

"I feel great" he smiles. He hugs him again. He leans back to wipe the blood off. "Thanks kid"

Austin stands up "Well it's getting late. You have school"

Knight nods. "Good night Mark"

"Good night. I'll see you tomorrow"

"Sure"

Mark leaves the house. Austin hugs Knight again.

"How are you feeling?" Austin says

"Better" He smiles. "I'm going to bed"

"Okay, goodnight" Austin sees him go up. He goes to watch more Tv.


Knight is walking around the school lot. Alexa is right beside him. The community service. They still need to be punished. Today, they have to pick up garbage, from all around the school. The two are really tired. Knight stops for a bit, he looks at her.

"Alexa, listen. umm" Knight does't know how to word it. "I'm sorry"

Alexa looks at him with surprise.

"I'm sorry for what I did. It wasn't fair. It wasn't nice. I was just angry. I hated you, because you had Mark as your dad. And not mine"

Alexa tries to say something but he stops her.

"But it's all settle. Everything is out, and all is good" Knight says "I'm sorry"

She smiles.

"It's okay. I forgive you" She says "And I'm sorry too"

"You don't have to-"

"No no. I did fight you. So I'm sorry"

The two share a smile. Cena call to them to keep working. Knight growls as he gets back to work. Alexa laughs.

"It's so hot" he shouts.

"I'm so tired" Alexa says. The two go straight to work. "Listen, so we are brothers right"

"Sort of," Knight says

"Oh nice. I have a big brother" she smirks "So that means..."

"What..?"

"You have to spoil me"

"No, it means I get to mess around with you"

"Yeah right. I like to see you try" She smirks

"Wanna bet"

"Back to work!" Cena calls.

"Race ya?"

"You are on" Knight says.

The two are eating burgers. They just got done and decide to go get dinner. It took them almost five hours. They still need two more days of this. Knight is staring at his burger. He looks at Alexa. He then hears sirens; he sees Mark driving after a speeding car. He blinks, he wants to know more about him. He wonders if his life would be different if Austin told him the truth. He shakes it off, nothing he can do can answer that. He turns to Alexa. She is also staring out the window, watching her dad chasing the car. He sighs.

"Mark. How is he like?" Knight says "Like as a dad"

"The best" she says

"Right..."

"He did so much for us. He works so hard. He was there for me, he taught me so much" She stops. Knight is looking at her, she sees that he is getting sad. "He is just like how he is now. Always willing to help"

Knight nods "You think. He would be the same dad, but with me, like when I was little"

"Yes. He will be there for you. Sadly, it didn't happen. But he wants to help you now. He wants to be your dad"

Knight laughs "He is my dad"

"You haven't called him dad yet" she says

"Oh right. I guess. I'm still trying to get used to it'

"It's okay. He understands. He has a big heart" She says

"That's good. I'm still you know. scared"

"Why?"

'What if, he just I don't know gets mad again and hurt my papa"

"He would never. He said that he can't do nothing about what happen. But he can change today"

"Whoa"

"Yeah, so don't worry. All will be okay"

Knight nods "Thanks"

"No problem, bro"

"Bro?"

She laughs out loud. He laughs with her.


The school year goes by fast. Knight is sitting down, listening to the speech. He is graduating, he is going on to the next part of life. He had a blast senior year. He is ready to give it his all after this. He is going to miss this school. He's been here for so long, he will miss his friends, teachers, everyone. Yet, he is not going far. Just up little to college. He will visit, since he has a little sister. Who is now going to be a sophomore. Knight stands when, the principle ready to announce the name. Knight names get called, he gets his high school diploma. Once the last speech is made, the students circle around the field, and throw their hats. Knight hugs his friends; he is going to miss them. They are going to different schools, so they won't hang out much. He leans back to see his papa, standing there with a big smile. He runs to him, he hugs him.

"Good job kid" Steve says "Congrats'

"Thanks" Knight smirks. He looks around. Steve sees that he is looking for him. He takes a step to the side. Alexa jumps right to him. Knight jumps a little, but he manages to catch her.

"Look at you" She says "Graduating"

"Oh, you know" Knight shrugs. She leans back. "Where is dad?"

"On his way" she says. Shane walks up to him. He hugs him. She sees Mark, right behind Knight. She tries to hide her smile. Mark picks up his kid, he twirls him around. Knight yelps in surprise.

"Put him down" Shane says

He places him down.

"DAD" Knight hugs him tight.

"Congrats kid" He smiles. The family starts taking pictures, good, funny, weird ones. They are all having fun. Knight hugs his papa again. Knight has been working hard, he's been having a blast. He hangs out more with Mark, he wants to know him more. Turns out, he is the best dad ever. He wonders that if Mark knew before, it will all be different. He shakes that thought away. He just enjoys what the day brings.

Alexa, he's been watching over her. He doesn't know why. But when she said that he is her older brother. He got that instinct to protect her. To protect her from bullies, bad people, and BOYS!. Mark does the same, but he is working, so it's up to him. Shane welcomes him, he's been amazing. Knight does see him as a papa. Shane helps him with homework, when Austin goes to work. He even let's him stay over, and play. Alexa and Knight always tag team against Mark now. He is getting annoyed by it, but they are his kids.

"Thanks papa" Knight says "For everything"

"Oh don't-" Steve says. He tries to hold back tears.

"I should be thanking you" Mark says "For giving me a chance to be in your life"

"You are my dad. Of course I want you" Knight says.

The three hug each other.

"Come on Knight. Time to go"

"Oh right. our senior night out"

"Okay be careful" Austin says

"And Have fun kid" Mark smiles. He nods he goes off.

"You should be proud Steve. He turns out to be a great man" Mark says

"I am. Also, you help too." Steve says, "I want him to be just like you."

Mark shakes his head. "Come on. Let's go"

"Hey Mark. I always wanted to tell you. That' I'm sorry"

Mark looks at him.

"I did take that moment away from you. I did hide your son from you. I'm so sorry" Steve says

"It's okay Austin. Let's just leave it. We can just continue on"

"Sounds good" Austin says.

The family go out of the stadium. Mark gets on along with Shane and Alexa. He looks at the two.

"What a day" Mark sighs

"I'm next" she says

"In like two more years' Shane says

"Wow. time does go by fast" Mark whispers

"Will I get a car?" She says

"No" Shane says

"Dad?"

"maybe"

Shane slaps his arm.

"Be good in school, and you will" Mark says

"Okay, deal" She smiles. She hugs her dad "Love ya"

She goes to her papa. She kisses his cheek.

"Okay, okay" Shane says "Sit down'

Mark laughs. He turns on his truck. He drives home.

Austin is walking beside Kurt. The two haven't said a word yet. Kurt wants him to talk first, he wants to know what is next.

"It was a very strange year" Kurt says

"It was"

"Yup"

Austn looks at him. "It was. I mean, Mark shows up. He comes to my house. I hit him, slap him. I even left him behind when the bear attack"

"Okay...those were the bad times"

"I even lied to Knight about Mark. I didn't even tell him the truth. I still feel bad for not telling Mark"

"Hey don't worry. he said that he is fine. it is all over"

"Right"

The two keep walking.

"But then, he finds out. He confronted me and yelled at me. I try to lie again. Then my son gets angry at me, leaves me, hides from me, didn't even talk to me"

"Okay..."

"But then, I told the truth. It all calm down."

Austin did get along with Mark now. He even hangs out with Shane once in a while. Alexa seems to enjoy his company; he enjoys when she comes over. She reminds him of Mark, just like how Knight reminds him. The two-family got along well. They were there to help each other, teach each other. Austin even goes by to visit the Calaway's. Austin thought, they were going to be mad at him, he thought Mark was going to hate him forever. But that didn't happen. Austin did try hard, to let him know that he is sorry. That he knows he did wrong.

"So, what now?" Kurt says

"We just stay home and relax" Steve says.

"I like that"

Steve gets in his truck. He drives home.


The days go by. It's all been good. Knight been going to college, working, and building up his future. Mark and Steve are there to help him through it all. Mark still serves and protect. He's been watching the town. Some days are good, some days are bad. People speed, run, and even cause trouble. He is right there to stop it. He's been helping everyone around him. The little town start to love him, all know his name. Shane is still teaching at school. He's been helping Knight with his classes as well. Alexa has been enjoying her school years. She's been playing volleyball, cheerleading. She continues to grow.

Austin is working around the house. He's been working hard at his job as well. He wants to keep distracted, now that his son is off to college. Luckly Knight visits him on some weekends. One weekend yes, the other no. He also visits Mark. Austin looks back to his room. He searches his room to find a box. Inside is pictures of him and Knight. He sees one where he is smiling wide, looking at his belly bump. He gets another picture, and he gasp. Mark is sitting next to him, smiling wide. Austin blinks the memory away. That night change everything. He is glad that it happens, that it is now settle down. He puts it all away. He goes to bed. Austin turns off the light and he goes to sleep.

Knight walks to his dorm. He places a picture of his papa. He moves a little to the right he puts a picture of his dad. He smiles wide at the two pictures. He can't wait for his college years. He knows that if he needs help, the two will be there for him. He goes to his bed. He turns off his light. He drifts of to sleep. Looking forward to the future.
