We Are Unbreakable

Kimbers POV

A week had passed and I still hadn't brought myself to telling CC about Seth. He was having such a hard time in the studio that he seemed so down. I didn't want to bring him down further by telling him. I wasn't sure how he would react. It was hard to judge.
I slowly started to prepare a room for Seth, so he could feel at home when he arrived. I think CC was too distracted to notice.
When he wasn't at the studio he was spending time with Ashley.
I tried not to think about too much. There wasn't much I could do if he was having all his problems in the studio. I just tried to be there for him.
I decided to get out of the house for a bit. Riley had been reducing my load at work so I was bored, but maybe it was a good thing since Seth would be coming here soon.

CCs POV

I angrily slammed my car door and jammed the key in the ignition.
I shouldn't have bothered coming in today. They didn't even need me and Andy didn't give a fuck. I was about to reverse out when Ashley knocked on the window.
"What?" I said sharply as I rolled the window down.
"You okay?" He asked.
I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm fine. Just need to get away for a bit. Don't tell me their not getting on your nerves too."
"They are, but not much I can do. Andy is just being a perfectionist. I have to record bass soon, but I'll come round later okay?"
"Sure" I said giving him a small smile before driving off.
As I walked into the house I threw my keys on the table in the entrance and listen to the deafening silence.
"Kimber?" I said into the house. "Kimmie?!" I said a little louder.
Still no answer. Suppose she wasn't home.
I smiled to myself as I walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer. I twisted the top off, tossing it onto the counter and taking a long swig.
"Needed that" I said quietly to myself as I went into the living room and flopped onto the couch.
Today had been such a waste. Shouldn't have even gone into the studio. They haven't been needing me. No one needs me...
I took another swig of my beer and drank the thought away. That's a place I didn't want to go.
I started to flick through channels on TV when I heard a car pull up. I assumed it was Kimber, but they rang the doorbell.
I looked over towards the entrance and slowly got up from the couch as they rang the doorbell again.
"I'm coming!" I shouted, shaking my head.
I turned the lock and pulled the door open.
A young boy about 10 or 11 stood in front of me.
He had choppy blonde hair that covered down to his ears, with a side fringe. His deep blue eyes were scanning over me in confusion.
"Can I help you?" I asked carefully.
"Ummm, i-is K-Kimber here?" He stammered.
I gave him an odd look. Why would this young boy need to see Kimber?
I looked down by his feet and saw a couple of suitcases and backpacks, along with a guitar case.
"She's out at the moment. Can I ask why you need to see her?"
"I was just told I was coming here. Who are you?" He asked giving me a questioning look.
"I'm Kimber's husband CC... Who are you?" I asked looking him up and down over and over again.
"I'm Seth. So you're my step dad" he said giving me a small smile.
I was taken aback when he said 'step dad'.
"Whoa, kid, uhh I'm not your step dad. I mean, I have no idea who you are, how do I know who you are?! You just show up on my doorstep!" I said getting frustrated.
Seth's face dropped. He started to fiddle with the zipper on his hoodie.
"Look, uhh, I have no where to go. My mom knew I was coming. Can I just wait until she comes home?"
I couldn't believe what this kid was implying. Did Kimber have a kid?
"Okay... Umm you can wait in the living room. I'm gonna call her" I said slowly.
Seth smiled at me and grabbed his stuff and placed it inside. He then patiently went to sit on the couch.
I couldn't stop staring at him. Some part of me thought he was lying, but the other part of me said 'look at him!' I was looking. He looked like Kimber. The blonde hair and blue eyes. His lips a plum pink like hers. His slender figure that would stretch up when he hit puberty.
I didn't want to decide what I thought until I spoke to Kimber.
I dialed her number and let the phone ring.
After the phone ringing out twice, she finally picked up.
"Hello?"
"About time Kimmie! Where are you?" I said frustration leaking into my tone.
"I've been out. What's up?" She asked calmly.
"Come home now!" I demanded.
"But I'm in th-"
"NOW!" I said hanging up.
I shoved my phone in my pocket and went upstairs to our bedroom.
I was so angry. Has my marriage been a lie? Everything we had built our life on started as a lie. Why did she hide this? If this kid is telling the truth...
If he is telling the truth, why show up now? What changed that he had to come live here. I knew I was going to be a parent soon, but I didn't think it would be... older like Seth. I was having a baby.

Kimbers POV

I rushed home after CC's phone call. He sounded very upset. It's such a rare thing from CC that you knew he was really feeling down if he used a tone with you.
I fumbled with my keys and staggered through the door.
I noticed a whole bunch of bags by the doorway, followed by the sound of Seth's voice.
"Mom?" His voice whispered as he slowly came towards me.
I laid my eyes on him for the first time in five years. He had my features with his father's bone structure. So perfect.
My hand instantly covered my mouth.
"My God, look at you. You've grown so much. You're not the young boy I remember" I said in complete shock. I could feel my heartbeat quickening its pace and my hands started to shake.
"You haven't changed mom. I missed you. Was hard not seeing you. I didn't know if you were ever going to come back."
There was the guilt. "I'm so sorry baby" I said with tears starting to form.
I went up to him and hugged him. I felt his arms wrap around me.
Our moment was interrupted when CC cleared his throat loudly to get our attention.
"So this is all true. Is he really your son?" He said, obviously hurt.
"Yes, Seth is my son" I said quietly.
"And you don't tell me!" He yelled.
I flinched slightly, but tried to give him eye contact. "It was the life I left behind, but CC, never thought I would meet anyone like you and be this happy again."
"I need some time Kimber" he said grabbing his keys and walking out the door.
