Hmm, I am really enjoying your stories. However, I feel like I am missing the whole earlier part about Adam in this story. I'm a bit confused. It might help if you linked all your stories together or tagged them as a series. Anyway, loving the h/c. :)

Yep, this story is only a piece of a much bigger story. Click on "title: love speaks through" to get the full story :)

This is also an in-between piece bookended by Disappear and Fade.

Hope that helps!

"I tried to get his mouth open, but I couldn't, and I didn't want to hurt him. God, I'm still shaking. Is this how it felt like for you, with Emilio? This helpless feeling?" Kris asked from the waiting room of the hospital where he and Katy were waiting to hear how Kaleb did in surgery.

"Yeah. Kind of," Adam admitted. "Except Emilio wasn't my kid. And I've got proof of that day to stare at all day, every day."

"So will I," Kris answered, his voice hollow. "Just a different kind. That trach's gonna be in until they decide he doesn't need it. We don't know yet if he's got brain damage, or what."

I'm so all about this brutal honesty.

“Oh, my God. I don’t have to right? Ever? I couldn’t.” Adam managed, terrified at the mere thought of holding a baby’s life in his hands again.

“Nah, you don’t have to. But you should baby sit for us someday. Once we move out to LA.”

“You’re moving here? Shut the hell up!” Adam crowed, delighted. “Tell Kaleb to get better like, now. I need a familiar face out here.”And 2 years later, there he is. ( ... )

nannerz2cool,
I love it, too. That was my favorite part.

Exactly. You know you want to be there, Adam. Look how excited he was about the move!

Aw, I love them, too! So amazing! <3

I simply adored the original story. I hope you continue with the story after Kaleb is better and the Allen's move to LA
