The Knight.

"No way!" I said, sticking my tongue out at him. "So, when are your parents coming down?"

"I.. dont know. My mom said this next month. I hope. She said that she has to tell me something important. I dont know what yet." I said softly.

"Oh." I answered, looking up at him. "Do you think it'll be good or bad?" I asked.

"Well. It didnt sound amazing. She said its about the family. Whatever that means. She will tell me when she is here." I said, with a shrug.

I nodded. "Okay." I said. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

I smiled, seeing I had my girls with me. I was a very happy man. When little Delilah was asleep I stood and put her in the little baby rocker beside the tv, and I watched as she fussed, and I kissed her head and gave her the binky. I walked back over to Annabelle, and I laid down, pulling her close to me, so she was on top of me. "You still sore at all?"

I looked down at him and smiled. "Not really." I answered, leaning down to kiss his forehead.

"Thats good." I said. A month or so passed, and little Autumn began to open her eyes, just slightly. I heard a knock at my door , excited to see my parents. When I opened the door I greeted them with a hug

I greeted them as well, and then they were so happy to see their grandchild. Our album went so well. We were to go on a six month tour soon. They extended it.

I was telling my mother, that the album went so well that we would be gone for six months scary.. my mother rook my hand and looked into my eyes. "Dear. We have to tell you something.." she said, and she handed me a picture. It was a woman, holding a baby. "Whats this?" I asked. "Jay. This is your mother. Real mother.. and you." She said. I was... adopted?!....

I bit my lip as I watched, frowning slightly. I cradled Autumn in my arms, cooing softly to her. How is Jay going to take this?..

I just stared at the picture of my real mother, and I shook my head. Why was I never told before? I felt hurt, and I slowly just handedbher the picture back, and calmly walkedbaway, and out the door, and I sat on the steps outside.

It was silent for a moment, then I stood up and handed Autumn to his father. "I'll go talk to him." I said. I walked outside and slowly sat down next to him. "Babe?" I gently touched his shoulder. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah." I said softly, running my hand through my hair, and looking up at her. "Just very shocked." I said softly. "I dont understand why they never told me.." I said, sighing shakily

I took his hand. "It's going to be okay.. They both love you very much." I said softly.

" I know.. its just.. alot to take in." I said softly, giving her hand a squeeze as I kissed her softly.

I nodded and kissed him back. "I love you.." I whispered.

"I love you too." I said softly and I stood. "Lets go back." I said, taking her hand. I was just mainly disappointed. What happened to My real parents then?

"Okay." I whispered. We went back inside and his mother looked really worried and sad.

I looked up at my parents, and I slowly took Autumn back into my arms. My mom looked like she was going to cry, I sighed and hugged her, then she began to cry softly.

I scooped Autumn up and left the room to leave Jay alone with his parents.

"Jay. Im so sorry that we didnt tell you sooner. We.. just wanted to protect you.. because we knew that if we told you, that you would want to know where your real parents were." She said, wiping her eyes. "Your father had killed your mother, and.. he is in jail for the rest of his life." She said, breathing out. I hugged her, then my dad. "Its okay.. im not angry .."

I went to the bathroom to give Autumn a bath. Her eyes were open now. They changed from brown to a beautiful sparkling blue. I put on a bathing suit and sat in the tub with her, the water only about 6 inches. I washed her carefully. She cried only a little bit.

After a while of just chatting, my parents left, headingto the hotel. I headed upstairs to the bathroom, to see little Autumn in the bath with her mommy. She was a bit fussy about it but not bad. "Wow.. she has my eyes." I said softly, leaning down by the bathtub

I smiled and looked up at him. "One day.. A boy is going to fall in love with her eyes. Just like I fell in love with yours." I said sweetly.

I chuckled, and I leaned down and kissed them both sweetly. "They have to treat her well though." I said, grinning. "Jesse is coming by later, he is having problems with Macy.." I said, they also just had a kid, a little boy named Charnley. When I had talked to him last, Macy was packing, going to leave him and her own kid.

I frowned. "I never liked Macy... He deserves better than that!" I shook my head and got out of the tub, drying off both of us. "How can a mother abandon her child? I couldn't do it." I said, looking down at Autumn fondly.

"Shes such a bad person. Hes taking it pretty rough.. they will both be over. Maybe the two can have a play date." I said, smiling at Autumn. He was only a few days older.

I grinned. "They can be childhood sweethearts!" I said with a laugh, handing Autumn to Jay.

I chuckled, and nodded. "Definitely."I said, kissing her head siftly, and heading to get her dressed. She was like a little chubby fish. A cute one
