Trying to Score

“Hey, honey,” William said as Nora gave her a loving smile.
“Aiden James, go on up and get your shoes on. Make sure your socks are right,” Fallon said. Aiden nodded before jumping off the couch and heading upstairs. When Fallon heard his door shut, she looked over at Audrey. “Watch out for Aiden.”
“Okay,” Audrey said, since she knew that Fallon was gonna be telling Nora and William about Lucas before they left for the game.
Fallon had tried calling Lucas the night before to talk him out of coming but he wasn’t budging, and after the way Aiden talked about Lucas all night, Fallon knew it would break his heart if Lucas didn’t come. So Fallon decided to put her big girl panties on and tell her parents about Lucas.
“What’s wrong, honey?” Nora asked as worry filled her beautiful medically-enhanced face.
“Okay, listen,” Fallon started before taking a deep breath. Fallon’s approach on telling them would be like ripping a Band-Aid off. At least that’s how she planned it.
“Aiden doesn’t know, but his father moved to Nashville.”
Fallon watched as her mother’s face filled with surprise and William’s turned red with anger.
“That piece of shit decided to come to my state?” William growled. Fallon rolled her eyes as Nora’s hand came over her mouth.
“Okay, one, it’s not your state and two, yes. He wants to know Aiden, and well Aiden spent the day with him yesterday and they had a great day. He’s coming today. To the game.” Fallon said as she basically pulled her fingers out of their sockets. Her dad made her nervous and she knew that he was getting more and more pissed off with every passing second, but Fallon had to tell him. All he had to do was look at Lucas and Aiden together and he would know.
“That low belly is coming to the game?!” William bellowed.
“Oh for the love of God, I told you he didn’t know about Aiden! He didn’t do anything wrong!” Fallon yelled, even though why she was defending Lucas was beyond her.
“He got you pregnant!”
“I laid down with him Dad! I mean, it takes two to do the do!”
“Oh Fallon, please,” Nora pleaded while Audrey snickered from behind her.
“He hasn’t done anything for that boy,” William said through his teeth.
“Because he didn’t know!” Fallon yelled, hating how mad her dad made her. “Now that he does, he wants to be in Aiden’s life. It’s not your decision or even mine. It’s Aiden’s. So let it be. We are telling him this Friday, so please don’t say anything,” Fallon pleaded.
When she looked over at her mom and saw that she was crying, Fallon rolled her eyes, “Why are you crying, Momma?”
“’Cause this is too much for my baby. You really have messed up, Fallon Ryane!”
“Oh God,” Fallon groaned as she looked up at the ceiling. She already knew she messed up, she didn’t need her mother informing her off it too. Aiden started down the stairs carrying his bat and glove and all eyes turned towards him. Fallon looked over at her father and he was glaring at her.
“You disgust me,” he said through his teeth before he turned, leaving the house. When the front door slammed, Fallon jumped in surprise as Audrey and Nora looked over at her.
“What’s wrong with Grandpa?” Aiden asked. Fallon shook her head.
“I don’t know. Let’s go, bud,” Fallon said, heading for the door.
“Lucas is coming, right Momma?” Aiden asked as everyone headed out the door. Fallon nodded as she locked the door.
“Yes,” Fallon said. “Unfortunately,” she added for no one to hear.
Lucas had ruined her relationship with her father seven years ago, and not that it was getting better, but it had been a long time since William was disgusted in her. Fallon felt the same way she did back then, just this time she wasn’t nauseous because of the little guy that was growing inside her.
**********************************
“Lucas!”
Lucas turned to see his perfect little guy running towards him with the brightest smile on his face. Lucas knew that the same grin came across his when Aiden wrapped his arms around his legs. He had missed Aiden a lot, more than he had ever missed anyone. Even Fallon. There was something about the little guy that made Lucas feel complete.
Fallon walked with Audrey a little behind Aiden with a scowl on her face. As he hugged Aiden, he wondered what had made her mad. Lucas had told her the night before that he was coming, and he even wore his sunglass and hat so he wouldn’t be too noticeable.
Lucas’ eyes traveled down Fallon’s body, like they always did when she was around. She wore some tight stretchy black pants and a blue tee shirt that said ‘Aiden’s Mommy’. Her hair was down in curls and she wasn’t wearing much make-up. Like always, she was breathtaking.
Audrey wore almost the same thing but her shirt said ‘Aiden’s AA’ and her hair was in a high pony tail. Lucas put a grin on his face, while inside he was jealous as hell.
He wanted a shirt.
“Hey AJ,” Lucas said as he hugged Aiden closely to him. “Ready to play?”
“Yup! We’re gonna win!” he exclaimed as Audrey and Fallon came up behind him.
“Hey Lucas,” Audrey said brightly.
Lucas smiled as he said, “Hey Audrey, Fallon.”
Fallon only nodded as she looked behind her. Lucas looked to see what she was looking at and saw a very large man with a petite woman beside him. He knew instantly that it was Fallon’s mom. She had to be the one the girls had gotten their looks from because she was as gorgeous as Fallon and Audrey. Lucas figured by the way the large man was looking at him that he was Fallon’s angry dad.
