Loving Two // C.H (completed)

{ Calum }

I got to Landyn's school and parked. I was a bit early so I sat back to wait. I was actually really excited Landyn asked me to come. I do know we're about to get looks- I mean it's pretty obvious I'm not Landyn's biological dad. But I don't care what people think.

I noticed some dad's walking in, so I got out. I was already getting odd looks. I was a lot younger than a lot of them and I wasn't wearing a suit or dress slacks- just my typical jeans and a shirt.

I walked inside and stood in the hall with the others while we waited for the teacher to let us in. I looked through the window on the door and found Landyn in the back corner completely by himself. All the other kids were together, except Landyn. I thought it was a little odd. I mean, Landyn used to love school, but this week I've been back, I've noticed Maddie's been fighting with him to go. They've been at my house since I got back and every morning I wake up with Landyn screaming about not wanting to go. Maybe there's a reason- such as him sitting alone- that could be why he doesn't want to go.

There was a yell from the teacher and that made me and all the dads jump. I saw Landyn's eyes go wide and he was visibly shaking- and he was shaking bad if I could tell from my distance. He was probably scared shitless especially since Maddie's told me how his dad used to yell.

Landyn's teacher opened the door and welcomed us, letting us go sit with our kid. Landyn was now at a table with another boy. He looked up and grinned as I walked over,

"You came?" He hugged my legs,

"I told you I would" I laughed and sat in the super tiny toddler chairs, "Are these your pumpkins?" I motioned at the small ones on the table,

"Yeah. We can make bunches" he grinned. I smiled as a man sat with the kid across from us. He eyed me then held his hand out,

"Hi I'm Matt. I'm Hunter's dad"

"Calum. Landyn's dad" I shook his hand, making no hesitation to say that I was Landyn's. Matt scoffed,

"I know you aren't" he mouthed. That made me mad but I ignored it and turned all my attention to Landyn. The teacher talked for a minute then let us paint,

"Can we make em cute so Mommy will like it?" Landyn asked with his signature head tilt,

"Of course" I smiled.

"These are amazing Lan! I think Mommy will like them too!" I high fived him,

"Mhm. Take a picture!" Landyn reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out and let me take a picture,
