Chapter 5 - Mum and Dad
February 25, 2013
It had been about three and a half days since the car crash since it was ten in the morning on the twenty-fifth. I was still unconscious, and so was Calum. Michael, Luke, and Ashton were up and walking around since they weren't bruised much. They had gotten tests done, but they were fine. My baby girl had been in the NICU ever since she was born. They wouldn't stop putting tubes into her to keep her alive. They said it was a miracle she'd already lived that long. Calum and I were still in the same room together. I talked to myself or Calum a lot. I whispered stuff in our ears. They didn't hear me, but I didn't care. I also tried to talk to Michael, Luke, or Ashton, but they didn't hear me, of course.
I was just sitting next to my bed, watching myself, and suddenly, two people, a man and a woman, came into the room. They were crying when they saw me. The woman ran to me and hugged me. The man came next, hugging me also. I had no idea who these people were. At first, I didn't bother trying to talk to them. They wouldn't hear me, but I didn't want them touching me if I had no idea who they were, so I tried.
"Ma'am? Who are you?" I asked. She didn't answer.
"What's your name, Sir?" I asked the man. He didn't answer me either.
I sat down on the bed next to my body, and watched at the man crouched on the other side of the bed beside the woman sitting in a chair. The woman started talking to me. She said, "Hi Katilyn... I'm Kristen,and this is Daniel. We miss you," she almost started crying, "I haven't seen you since I put you up for adoption.." That's when it clicked. This was my mum and dad. They had put me up for adoption as a baby, and they'd never seen me since.
"We didn't want to do that, we really didn't. But we were forced to since I was sixteen and your dad was seventeen. We couldn't take care of a baby alone, our parents refused to help us, and I didn't want to get an abortion, so we kept you." She sniffled, "Right after you were born, I had them take you away.. I didn't want to get too attached. Your dad didn't either. We're sorry," She cried.
"We've been trying to find you for the last thirteen years, but we couldn't.. When you were adopted, people told us you were adopted by the Jones family. They said that they were thinking about adopting other kids later, so that you would have brothers or sisters," He smiled through his tears.
My mum continued, "We tried to find you because we were old enough then, and we wanted you. We knew you'd be around three or four, but we didn't care if you were that age or if you were in your teenage years. We wanted you, and we wanted your sister to know who you were. Speaking of your sister, she's fourteen. We had her when I was nineteen and in college, and your dad was twenty and just getting out of college. Our parents agreed to help up then, so we kept her. I feel so bad... We're sorry," She sighed.
"We saw online two days ago that everyone was talking about Calum Hood from 5 Seconds of Summer and his girlfriend were hurt bad in a car accident, and Hannah, your sister, is obsessed with them, so she knew about it. We looked at the name and the picture they had of you and Calum the day before, then we realized that it was our baby girl..."

Flashback~
*Kristen's (Katie's Mum) POV*
"Mum!" Hannah yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah, Han?" I asked.
"What did you say Katie's last name was now?"
"Jones, why?"
"I think might've found her."
"'What!?" I ran down the stairs, and she showed me her phone. It said, "The band 5 Seconds of Summer were in a car crash today, February 21. Calum Hood and his girlfriend, Katie Jones, were almost killed in the crash. Luke, Ashton, and Michael were hardly bruised, but they were still taken to St Thomas' Hospital in London along with Calum and Katie. Michael, Ashton, and Luke are all okay, but doctors still aren't sure if Calum or Katie are going to make it. Stay tuned for more information." I almost screamed. I had been trying to find my baby girl for thirteen years, and I finally found her! but I didn't know if she was alive. It was terrible. I knew immediately that we had to fly to London anyways.
~Flashback Over~
*Katilyn's POV*
A girl appeared with long, brunette hair almost like mine, but straight. Her eyes were green. She walked over to me and asked, "Is this her, Mum?"
"Yeah, Han, this is her.." my mum said.
"Hi Katie.. I'm your little sister. I'm finally glad to have an older sister, and it's even better that she's dating one of my idols and is on tour with all of them! I love you even though I just met you.. I hope you like me too," her voice trailed off.
A doctor came in and asked if this was my family. He was asking them, of course, because he knew my body wasn't awake, and he couldn't see my mind. They said yes to the doctor, and he said, "Well, her daughter is still in the NICU, but she's progressing a lot. You guys are lucky. She truly is a miracle baby. She almost didn't make it."
"Wait.. a baby?" My mum asked the doctor.
"Yes. Your daughter here was twenty-two weeks pregnant with a baby girl, and we had to preform an emergency c-section for the baby to survive. Like I said, she almost didn't make it, but she's getting better. She's now about one pound, three ounces, one more ounce than when she was born." He told them more.
"Oh, well, thank you doctor.." she smiled at him, and he walked out of the room. Then my dad turned to Hannah and my mum and asked, "Who's the father of the baby!?"
"Uh, Dad.. I'm pretty sure it would be her boyfriend," Hannah pointed over to Calum.
"Oh.. What's his name?"
"Calum Hood from the band 5 Seconds of Summer. They're from Australia like us, and they're touring with One Direction, so that's why they're in London."
"Okay." He turned back to me, "You're not putting that baby up for adoption, so don't even think about it. If you need help, we are right here. We aren't letting you go through what we went through."
"Dad, I don't think they'll need help. The dad is in a band that is famous around the world and they're touring with another band that's famous around the world."
"Well, we will still be able to help them."
"Okay."
