Tim hung his head as soon as the words left his mouth. He couldn't stand to look at everyone and see the judgement on their faces. Adam grasped Tim's hand and then lifted his chin to look around at the faces in the room.

"No one is judging you." Adam whispered. "You didn't know about him."

Rob, Chance and Austin were speechless with looks of shock on their faces. Olena looked between Tim and Jenika "Does TJ know?"

"No, not yet." Tim sighed. "I just found out recently and asked Jenika for some time to get my head together before we told him. My mom doesn't even know yet. I can't figure out how to break the news."

Olena nodded her head in understanding. "This is still a secret" She looked at each of the guys as she said it. "Got it Austin?"

"Why am I getting singled out" Austin asked while trying to pout.

Everyone looked at Austin while Tim said "Do you really need to ask?" 

"Okay, so I'm not good with secrets." Austin admitted "I promise I can keep this one. Can we do a recap of the evenings events so far? Alot has happened."

"I think I got it" Rob started "We thought Adam was cheating on Tim and he nearly got his ass kicked for it. Adam called Austin nosey and nearly got his ass kicked again." Everyone was chuckling at this point except Jenika. Adam had left out the two near assaults when he told Jenika what was going on.

Rob continued, "Then we find out about the interesting 'relationship' these three have going on. And to top it off we find out Tim is TJ's dad. Did I miss anything?"

"And it's all a secret." Austin chimed in.

"I just need a little times guys." Tim ran his hand through his hair. "I'll let you know when we've told TJ. Until then, thanks for not saying anything."

"Anybody else here really tired or is it just me?" Adam yawned out.

Everyone agreed that it had been a long day and a tiring night. They all headed back to the bus early and fell into bed. Luke wasn't sure what was going on but he'd take the early start towards the next show and not complain about it.

Tim wasn't able to sleep. He tossed and turned and couldn't get his brain to shut off. He was glad his band mates knew his secret but he was also feeling guilty for telling them before he told his mother. Tim was finally able to sleep after laying out a plan to tell both his mother and TJ.

The next morning Tim was up bright and early. He called his mother and made arrangements to fly her out for a few days. He hoped he hadn't caused her too much worry. He had told her that he missed her and wanted to talk to her in person. He made sure to sound calm and relaxed but he knew she would think the worst until she got there.

Next Tim texted Jenika to let her know of his plan. Once everything was set he found Adam in his dressing room.

"You got a second?" Tim asked Adam quietly

Adam looked up from his game. "Of course." he smiled. "Always, for you."

Tim smiled back but it didn't reach his eyes. "Adam, I need to talk to you and ask something of you that I have no right to ask."

Adam's smiled faded "This doesn't sound good."

Tim sat beside Adam and held his hand. "I need you to just hear me out. Okay?" Adam nodded his head hoping Tim would just talk and get this over with before he got even more nervous.

Tim took a deep breath "My mom is flying in tomorrow to join us a few days. I plan to tell her about TJ and then introduce them." Tim paused a moment, took another deep breath, and continued. "I haven't told her about us yet. She doesn't know that I'm bisexual." Tim couldn't look at Adam. He continued speaking at as he looked his hands. "I just don't know how much new information she can take at one time."

Adam lifted Tim's chin so they were eye to eye "And you want me to pretend I'm just one of the guys? Not show you any affection while she's here?" Tim sniffed as he nodded his head slightly.

"It will be hard but I'll do my best." Adam said as he pulled Tim close and enveloped him in a hug. Adam whispered in Tim's ear "You know I love you and that's not ever going to change." Adam pulled back from the hug and attacked Tim with kisses. He kissed his cheeks, his eyes, his nose, along his jaw, down his neck, and back up to his lips.  

Adam continued kissing Tim until he heard Tim's phone chirp with a new message. Adam pulled away "I guess that will have to hold me for a few days."

Tim looked at his phone and then back to Adam. "Jenika and TJ are waiting for me. Wish us luck." 

"TJ's got the brain of an adult and the heart of a child. I think you'll be fine." Adam reassured him. "But you know where I am if you need me."

Tim headed for the bus where Jenika and TJ were waiting for him. As soon as he boarded he felt like his heart was going to pound out of his chest. He took a seat by Jenika before he passed out from fear.

Jenika had assured Tim that she was going to do most of the talking so she decided to just get started. "TJ, honey, you remember a few weeks I told you that I would let you know who your dad is but I needed some time first?" 

TJ nodded his head "Yes ma'am, I remember that."

"Well, I'm ready to share that information with you now, if you are ready." Jenika said quietly.

TJ looked both excited and apprehensive. "I think I am."

Jenika took a few deep breaths before she spoke. "I need you to remember one big thing before I tell you. Your father did not know that I had you. You cannot be mad at him for not being around. That is my fault." 

TJ nodded in understanding "Okay, but does he know about me now?"

"Yes, honey, he does." Jenika smiled "I needed that time to tell him about you."

TJ looked at the ground, afraid of the answer to his next question. "Does he want to be around now?" he asked quietly. So quietly it was hard for Jenika and Tim to hear him.

Tim was almost in tears seeing the fear on TJ's face. He pulled TJ to him and wrapped him in a hug. "Yes, he wants to be around. He doesn't ever want to be away from you again."

Jenika couldn't control her tears at the sight of Tim comforting his son. "TJ, look at me honey." TJ looked at his mother and Jenika continued. "Honey, Tim is your dad."

TJ slowly turned to look at Tim. Tim was only able to nod his head with tears streaming down his face. TJ threw his arms around Tims neck and and buried his face in Tims chest.
