Watching the kids

"Lucas, not now," Luke said as he picked Lucas up. "This isn't the time for a tantrum."

Lucas continued flailing around, unwilling to stop.

Matt walked up to them with food in his arms and groaned.

"I'm sorry, Luke... I took way too long."

"Lucas cut himself," Luke said as he handed Lucas over to Matt and took the food. "And I found out that Lucas and Kaden have the exact same birthmark."

"The one on Kaden's thigh?" Matt asked, "You're kidding. How could that be?"
Quote Post Goto Top

"I don't know," Luke told him. "But's the exact same birthmark. Same size, same shape, same location."

"So what if Kaden's father is the same as Lucas'?" Matt asked.

"That would be Nikoas," Luke whispered so Kaden couldn't hear. "What if Nikolas didn't know he had another kid in the world?'

"He would have been married to Emily when Kaden was conceived," Matt said, "This could be huge."

"If Kaden is his son, then Nik's going to want to take him in," Luke realized. "At least... I hope so."
Quote Post Goto Top

"I'm sure he would," Matt said, "And then he would have a good home."

"Yeah, being raised by all those nannies and butlers," Luke told him. "That's exactly the concern Patrick and Emily had for Lucas. Kaden needs love and attention, not some Nanny hovering over him or a butler spoiling him. He'll never learn the value of hard work or compassion for others that way."

"But if he's Nikolas' son, we can't just keep that from him," Matt said, "Can we?"
Quote Post Goto Top

"I- I don't know," Luke told him. "But I like Kaden, Matt. I don't want to see him hurt. And with Lucas and Laura, he'd be attention starved."
Quote Post Goto Top

"So what do we do?" Matt asked, "Keep this quiet?"
Quote Post Goto Top
 
Luke Snyder

"I- I don't know," Luke told him. "We're playing with a child's life here, Matt. I don't know what the right thing to do is."
Quote Post Goto Top
 
Matt Stone

"We have to do what's best for Kaden," Matt told him, "And maybe that is letting him know his real father."
Quote Post Goto Top

"But what if Nikolas doesn't want anything to do with Kaden?" Luke asked. "Kaden's already been rejected by his mother, what's going to happen if his father does the same?"
Quote Post Goto Top

"The way Nikolas fights for time with Lucas makes me think that he'll want Kaden just as much," Matt said.

"I'm going to miss having Kaden around," Luke said, trying not to cry. "I know we weren't supposed to get attached to him, but I was starting to feel like he was really our son."

Matt hugged Luke tightly.

"I agree... I just can't keep a child from his rightful family."
Quote Post Goto Top

"I know we wanted to find a good home for Kaden, and that he wouldn't be with us forever," Luke said as he his voice trembled. "But I love him so much, Matt. It's like letting a child we created go."
Quote Post Goto Top

"I know," Matt said, rubbing Luke's back, "It hurts a lot for me too. We don't have to go to Nikolas right away with this."
Quote Post Goto Top

"Yeah, he's still away," Luke remembered. "We still have some time for Kaden before he leaves us. At least we still have BJ, too, right?"
Quote Post Goto Top
 
Matt Stone

"Of course," Matt soothed, "And I'm sure Nikolas and Melanie will let us spend time with Kaden."
Quote Post Goto Top

"But it won't be the same," Luke told him. "I'm going to miss reading him bedtime stories and holding him when he scrapes his knee."
