✔ Shattered! (Book Two) (Sequel to Scars) ✔

Chapter Two

'You what!?! What gives you the right to tell me when I should tell anyone about my child?' I stood up and walked out of the front room. James followed me, I walked through the kitchen and headed over to the back doors. James came from behind and put his hand over the door handle, stopping me from opening it.

'As much as I hate him, he has a right to know!' he was right up in my face, our noses were almost touching. We were that close. He was staring right into my eyes.

'No, He doesn't!' I shouted back. I can't believe I'm going along with this. DAMN IT!!!, but just when James was about to open his mouth, AJ started screaming from the top of the stairs.

'MOMMY! MOMMY!' AJ screamed between tears and crying. I ran out of the kitchen to the stairs, he was standing halfway down them. He was holding Timmy tight in his small arms.

'Oh, baby what's wrong, mommy's here' I ran up the stairs and picked him up. I shushed him as he cried and wrapped his arms tight around my neck.

'I had a bad dream, mommy' his little face was bright red from the screaming and his eyes all puffy from crying. I hated seeing him like this.

'Awww baby, it's ok, it was just a dream', I sat down on the steps and put him on my lap. 'You know Timmy here, he would never let anyone or anything hurt you, and do you know why? 'I asked, James, came and sat down on the bottom of the steps and watched me with my son.

'No, why mommy?' AJ asked. I looked away from James and smiled at AJ. I picked Timmy up and put him in front of AJ.

'Well, because your aunty Demi had Timmy made especially for you. Do you remember you remember Aunty Demi?'

He thought about it for a moment before he nodded his head.

'Yes, I remember, She used to come with that giant man and bring me presents.' He said smiling. I smiled back at him and nodded.

'That's right, well, She told me to tell you, if you ever get scared, then hug Timmy and think of her and Timmy will keep you safe, okay honey?'

'Where is Aunty Emily?'

'She's at home baby, She lives very far away'.

'Wheres the giant?' I had to laugh for a second at the fact he kept refering to Aaron as a Giant.

'Baby, Uncle Aaron is..uncle Aaron is in a place called heaven now. But he's looking down on us and he's keeping us safe okay little guy?'

'Promise mommy?' he asked in his high-pitched cute voice.

'Yes I promise'

'Will I go to heaven too mommy?' he asked. I smiled.

'Yes, you will eventually but not for a very very very long time baby.' He smiled and jumped off my lap when he finally realised James was with us. He ran to him and James picked him up.

'Uncle James, uncle Aaron is looking after me and mommy.' He was really happy. James smiled at him again.

'I know little guy, I know' he kissed AJ on the forehead and hugged him tightly. He walked into the front room with him and sat down on the sofa and placed AJ on his lap. I got up from the stairs and walked into the front room and sat down next to them.

'Did you know uncle Aaron?' he asked. He smiled and nodded his head.

'Yeah, I knew uncle Aaron. He was one of the nicest, kindest, sweetest guys I had ever met in my life. You are lucky you met him. He looked after your mommy when I wasn't around for a while' he told him looking at me. I knew what he meant. He meant when we broke-up after that night in the hotel back in England when Mike found me in the bathroom when I started dating Tom up until the night I met him and we decided to be friends again. I smiled at him but looked away.

'Mummy, Can we go and see Aunty Demi?'

'No honey'. I told him sternly.

'I wanna go see her' AJ started shouting.

'No, baby not now, maybe when you older and .....' I was cut off by AJ screaming again.

'I WANT TO SEE HER!!!!' Oh, ok, if he wants to play like that.

'I said no Aaron James Walker and if you continue to shout at mommy, I'm going to take away all your toys. Do you understand!' I said in a firm voice. I really hate telling him off but he needs to learn he can't shout at me or he'll just keep doing it.

He kept screaming over and over again, he started to cry angrily

'No! now stop shouting'

'NO!' oh my god, I can't believe I'm doing this. I sighed and looked up at James, he was trying to calm AJ down before he made himself sick. I leaned over and picked him up off James' lap.

'Ok, if that's what you really want. I'll take you to see her, but only if you stop screaming' as soon as I said it, he stopped.

'Can we go now mommy, please mommy please?' I opened my mouth to speak but James got there first.

'Actually little man, I just told mommy that I'm taking you and her there tomorrow morning,' he looked at me. 'right mommy?' he asked.

'Yeah' was all I said, standing up. I lifted AJ, so he was sat on my hip. 'But you need to go to sleep so that when you wake up in the Morning, you're ready for the long trip'. He nodded eagerly, and I took him back upstairs and tucked him into bed.

Walking back down the stairs, I turned around to James, he smiled at me.

'What?'

'You're doing the right thing'. I rolled my eyes.

'I'm taking him to see Demi, that's it'.

'You're doing the right thing' he repeated.

'Whatever'.

'Awww..it will be fine babe, I promise' he pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back. I wrapped my arms around his neck.

'I'm scared, I'm really scared.' He wrapped me in a hug, and we just stayed like that for a little while.

I pulled away from him, so I could look him in the eyes. 'You have been there for us, I could never thank you for some of the things you have done for us. I love you baby'

'You haven't called me baby since we were going out' I looked at him, he looked back at me. Then without warning, he placed his hands at the back of my neck and pulled me to his lips and kissed me, had but he pulled away and stepped back. 'Katie, I'm so sorry, I didn't' mea.--' I cut him off my running across to where he was and wrapping my arms around his neck and pulling him down to kiss me again. After we got over the shock he moved his hands and wrapped them around my wrist, pulling me closer to him, he deepened the kiss.

'God, James, I've never stopped loving you' I moaned through the kiss. He pulled away to look at me.

'I've never stopped loving you either, please give me a second chance, please' he begged. I looked at him and smiled.

'Yes, but only if you do one thing for me.'

'What?' he asked quickly, smiling widely.

'Kiss me again' as soon as I said that, he crashed our lips together again...
