Chapter 7: Second Chance
Bula Vinaka my beautiful readers
So I get that it's been like what, over 7 months since I last uploaded a chapter...and for that I'm deeply sorry. I seriously have a lot of things on my plate but I'll try and upload chapter more often.
Anyway, I don't have much to say at the moment and like always when I don't upload for long, I lost my list of first voters. It seriously makes me feel like shit when that happens. I feel like I should be more consistent with what I do and shit like that but my life is a mess and I'm not surprised with how I'm dealing with my books atm *smh
Once again, I'm sorry for my shit
This chappie is dedicated to Vapid_Ink for their work; Clover and Vigilante. I've read it and since I liked it, I decided to dedicate this chapter to him...or her
ENJOY this chappie!

My eyes widened at the revelation of my condition. I could feel the colour drain from my face as the words repeated itself in my head over and over again like a broken record. My hand instinctively flew to my flat abdomen while the other flew up to cover my gaping mouth as I let out a soft gasp. Tears filled my eyes at the news and I couldn't help but let out a sob
You're pregnant
I can't believe I'm having a baby. I can't believe I'm going to be responsible for bringing into this world a sweet little being. I can't believe one night of hot burning passion gave a me a beautiful little gift
I looked over at Silas to see him with a small smile on his face as he gazed lovingly at my stomach. I felt my heart skip a beat at the acceptance I was feeling from him. I let my hand drop from my mouth as my lips curved into a giddy smile. Although he hurt me so bad, I felt happiness bubble in me knowing that the baby's second father has already accepted it
"We're not keeping it" A voice spat out in disgust, breaking the silence that hung in the small hospital room
My head whipped to the side as my widened eyes stared up at Tristan in disbelief as he glared heatedly at the being that was beginning to form inside my stomach. Finally registering what he said to me, I glared up at him with as much anger as I could muster
"Yes, we are"
"Caleb, you're not ready to be a father yet, especially if it's that asshole's baby. It's not right" He tried to reason
"Don't you fucking say that. What is the matter with you?! This baby has done nothing to anybody. It's innocent and I am keeping it with or without your support" I snapped
"Caleb, you can't being serious. You can't possibly thinking of keeping that thing" He looked down at me incredulously
I shook my head in disbelief
"That thing is a small human being, my small human being. It's my baby, Tristan. Of all the people in this planet, I'd think you'd always have my back like I've always had yours" I sniffled, looking down at hands on my lap
I knew Tristan's weakness and I knew how to act to get what I want. People use the puppy eyes, others pout and act cute but all I gotta do is act a little sad and sniffle a little and VOILA, instant agreement. It's also how I solve our conflicts
"Ash...babe..."
"I guess I shouldn't have put you in a pedestal when all you're going to do is let me down"
I looked up at him with teary eyes and for extra effect, I sniffled some more and let a few stray tears fall down my rosy red cheeks. I could literally feel his resolve slowly break as his eyes slowly softened before he shook his head and cursed under his breath
"Fine, we'll raise it together. I think Bas will be happy to be an uncle. Maybe Mama and Rhea can get out your old crib. I'll buy some baby clothes, bottles, the little beanies for his tiny little head..." the more he spoke, the more light entered his blue eyes, making it sparkle with excitement. The small smile on his face turned into a full blown grin by the time he finished his rant "...and I'll make sure his first word is Jamie because Tristan will be hard for him to say"
All the men in the room was looking at him amusement clear in their eyes. All but one; Mr. Richardson. His pink lips was in a thin line, his stunning blue eyes darkened as he glared up at my best friend and from what I can see, his hands were in tight fists. He looked annoyed and frustrated.
Why was he still here?
"Slow down boy. This isn't about you, this is about my nephew. How are you feeling, sport?" Uncle Garrett asked, smiling softly at me, not looking twice at Tristan's pout.
I giggled and pinched my best friend's cheeks, making his pout deepen as he crossed his arms over his chest and sat down on the uncomfortable seat behind him. Shaking my head at his childish behaviour, I looked at the foot of my bed at my mother's older brother and my father's best friend and smiled
"To tell you the truth, I was scared at first and then I saw the support I know I'll be getting" Without meaning to, my eyes darted to Mr. Richardson and I blushed when I saw he was already looking at me. I immediately looked away and continued on "I guess you can say, I'm excited but a little nervous. I mean I don't know how to raise a kid"
"Don't stress yourself over that. It's bad for the baby" Pops lightly scolded me
I nodded and took in a deep breath
"Besides, you've been raising Rhea, Heidi and Bas just fine"
Tristan's right. I have been doing a good job with my younger sibling. Besides, I won't be doing this by myself; I have the support of my family, my best friend and the man I look up to as my second father figure and if I'm lucky, maybe even the support of the father of my unborn child
I looked over at Silas and smiled a little before looking at the other three men in the room. I nodded towards the door
"Do you guys mind if I have a word with Mr. Richardson?"
"Silas"
I looked over at him in confusion. He smiled and took my hand in his. I returned the smile with my own when he began rubbing his thumb over my knuckles
"Silas" I mumbled, staring into his intense blue eyes
Someone cleared their throat, making me tear my eyes away from the man of my dreams and stare into the puzzled eyes of my best friend
"Why?" He asked, glaring at Mr. Richardson. I mean Silas.
"I just need to talk to him about something. I'll tell you later"
He continued to stare between us for some time before something clicked in his head. He balled up his fist and glared heatedly at the man beside me who has yet to let go of my hand. I could imagine smoke coming out of his ears with how angry Tristan looked right now.
"You're dead" He said in a calm tone before walking around the bed.
Upon instinct to protect the father of my child, I got out of bed and stood in front of Silas and raised my hand in front of me with my palms facing my red-faced best friend. His eyes were narrowed into slits when it snapped back at me.
"Caleb Ashley Williams, move out of my way "
I gulped in fear. He only called me by my full name when he's pissed and the Lord Almighty knows that that is the understatement of the century. With how angry he looked, nothing can calm him down but I hope that I can. I don't want anything happening to the man I'm protecting without having a little chat with him first.
"Tristan Jamie Hart, you will calm the hell down because like Uncle Garrett said, stress is not good for the baby and I am feeling a little stress right now. I will NEVER forgive you if something happened to this baby. Please trust me on this" I whispered the last sentence to him, not caring if the other men heard me
That seemed to snap him out of his murderous haze. He looked away from the man behind me and stared at me with confused eyes. But we're not best friends for nothing so he knows when to trust me and vice versa. He nodded and mumbled his apologizes before stepping back and walking out of the small hospital room, leaving behind a tensed atmosphere
"So this is the asshole" Mr. Hart asked, looking at Silas with disgust clear in his eyes
I nodded my head and looked up at him. His eyes held emotions I couldn't place but before I could figure it out, he shook his head and walked out. But before he was gone, he stopped by the door and looked back at Silas
"I'm backing out of the deal, I'm sure I can find another company to help with the project"
With my second father and my best friend gone, that left one man behind and I was dreading looking into his expressive green eyes. Uncle Garrett and Mama almost have the same train of thought so whatever Uncle Garrett says next, there's a BIG possibility that Mama would say the same thing and I feared the disappointment that I was sure I'd see in his eyes
Taking in a deep breath, I looked up at my Uncle from under my lashes. He has observing Silas with blank eyes. I've never seen him so expressionless before and it was making me scared; not for me but for the life of the man that has haunted my every thought for the last few weeks. It was not long before he snapped his eyes towards me and with a small smile, he shook his head
"You're just like your father" A small laugh left his lips, making me smile and relax a little "I hope you know what you're doing, sport"
Ruffling my hair, he walked out but not before glaring openly at the man behind me
"I know many ways to make someone bleed out slowly and painfully without killing them instantly"
He turned on his heels and walked out of the hospital room, closing the door behind him. I shivered at the mental image that flashed through my mind. Who knew my carefree, playful and laid back uncle could be so badass?
I turned around only to giggle when I saw the look on Silas' face. His eyes were widened quite a bit, his mouth gaping open as he stared at the door in shock and his face paled considerably with fright. He snapped out of it when my giggles filled the small room. I walked over to him and sat in front of him on the small uncomfortable bed.
With my hands on my lap and my legs swinging back and forth, I sat and stared at the Adonis in front of me. I smiled when he did and blushed when he took my hands in his large ones and kissed each one of my fingers. He sighed and laid his head on our intertwined hands. I wiggled my hands free and ran them through his thick locks to relax him a bit
I don't know why I'm acting this way but deep down, I want to know why he treated me the way he did without even knowing the real me. I sighed and called out his name. Sitting up straight, he looked up at me with an intense stare
"I'm sorry" He mumbled, reaching out and gently cupping my cheek with his left hand, his thumb rubbing under my eye gently
I nodded my head but he frowned and shook his, making me frown too
"You shouldn't forgive me so easily. What I did to you...said to you wasn't right. I was a dick and I'm sorry. I've been used my whole life and you seemed too good to be true. When you began to compliment my bedroom, I snapped and thought you were like everyone who has ever used me. I didn't mean to utter such disgusting words. You're the most beautiful person, both inside and out and I don't deserve such a being but please, give me another chance" He pleaded
My heart melted at the vulnerability that shone in his glistening blue eyes. It broke my heart that someone as beautiful as the man before me could have gone through so many heart breaks and all because they didn't want to look beyond his money.
"I guess we're alike in a way" I started
He cocked his head to the side like a cute little puppy. I wanted to coo at him and pinch his cheeks but I also don't want to ruin the moment we're in so I sucked it down and touched his hand that was on my face and smiled at him
"When people see me, they just see the cute and adorable man. The man who looks good in the eye of the public. They never stay long enough to get to know the real me. They all go after me because I make them look good or they want to make their friends jealous by getting someone as beautiful as me" I rolled my eyes at that one "They never stay long enough to meet my family. On one sign of trouble, they dump me like yesterday's garbage without looking back"
"Caleb-"
I shook my head to cut him off, so I could continue. He nodded his head for me to continue
"Silas, you shouldn't let them change who you are. I know you're a good man under all that douche-beggary" This got a laugh out of him, making me smile "That's why I'm willing to cure you of your full-of-shit-tisis"
He threw his head back and let out a bellowed laugh. I smiled and admired his carefree spirit. Who knows how long this'll last so I'll take it in and store it under lock and key. Once he calmed down, he smiled at me and looked up at me with hopeful eyes
"Does this mean you're willing to give me a second chance?"
I nodded my head
"Just don't make me regret it" I whispered, staring into his light blue eyes
He nodded and pulled me onto his lap. I let out an embarrassing little squeak at the unexpected action. He chuckled and pulled my face towards him, so I was looking at him and not the wall beside him
"You won't regret it, I promise"
And with that, he leaned down and claimed my lips in a short and passionate dance that only our lips were familiar with. I raised my hands and ran my fingers through the soft strands on his head and tugged at it making him groan and nip at my bottom lip. I opened my mouth slightly, granting him access to my hot cavern. His tongue poked and probed the inside of my mouth as his hot wet muscle slid over each and every inch of my mouth.
I moaned when his hands slid down my sides and settled over my butt. His large hands massaged and squeezed at it like it was his favourite thing to do. Moans, groans and pants filled the air as I turned on his lap and straddled him before I grinded down onto his covered erection.
I distinctively heard the door of the room open but I ignored it and continued to receive the pleasure that the man below me was happily giving. I let go of his lips and threw my head back as I let out a long and loud moan as his hands squeezed me tighter and his hips thrust up to meet mine. I felt his lips touch my neck just as he rained butterfly kisses on my skin, occasionally sucking and nipping here and there. His lips descended until he reached the spot where my shoulder met my neck and bit down hard, making me open my mouth in a silent scream just as I came in my pants.
My hips moved desperately against Silas' until my orgasm left me. Coming down from my high, I opened my eyes and looked down at Silas just as he was opening his eyes. Blue clashed against green as we continued to stare into each other's eyes
"You're so beautiful" He whispered
I blushed and mumbled a 'thank you'. He smiled contently before reaching up to give me another kiss when someone cleared their throat making me let out a surprised scream as I jumped and turned my head to see who had witnessed our little sexy time
Tristan stood there with blank eyes as he stared at us. I blushed deeper and went to stand up off of Silas but the man tightened his arms around me and mumbled for me to stay. Looking at him in confusion, he looked down at his pants before looking up at me. My eyes widened in realisation. I blushed harder and hid my head in the crook of his neck to hide my embarrassment.
"Tristan, is it?" Silas asked, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine
"What do you want?" My best friend snapped
"It seems as though we have a problem. Would you mind getting Caleb and I a pair of clean pants?"
I heard Tristan scoff before leaving. Coming out of my hiding place, I looked up at Silas and smiled before running my hand through his dark hair. He sighed and closed his eyes, leaning into my touch. I smiled and leaned up to peck his lips
"Silas, don't break me" I whispered
His eyes snapped opened and he looked at me with confusion before determination spread through his features. He tightened his arms around me before loosening his arms
"I hurt you once before, I don't plan on doing it again" He pecked my lips and smiled reassuringly
I opened my mouth to thank him when someone spoke up, scaring the crap out of me. I looked behind Silas to see Pops standing at the doorway with his arms crossed over his chest
What's with people popping up unexpectedly?
"I can't wait to see how Kelly reacts to this"
"Pops" I hissed, glaring at him
He smiled smugly before raising his hands and walking off to God knows where. Seconds later, I looked back to Silas to see him deep in thought. I ran my fingers through his hair again, relaxing him. I sighed and leaned my forehead against his
"I'm telling my family tonight" I whispered
He nodded and opened his eyes to look up at me. Sitting this close to him and staring intently into his light blue orbs, I can see light grey specs littered across the blue of his eyes. It's pretty to look at and I could feel myself getting sucked into the beauty of it all.
"I want to be there when you do....as your boyfriend" He said with uncertainty, it was quite endearing to see that the confident Silas Richardson can have a vulnerable moment. I leaned down and pecked his lips and nodded
"I'd love to be your boyfriend"
His lips turned into a wide grin. He threw his head back and cheered. I laughed and slapped his chest playfully. He looked at me and smiled before he rained kisses all over my face making me blush and giggle as he thanked me with each kisses.
I guess today is not that bad after all
