Daniel was making everyone breakfast he was making eggs bacon and toast. "Morning" Jonah said happily walking into the room "Morning" daniel smiled back. "Whatcha making?" Jonah asked wrapping his arms around daniels waist and kissed his cheek. Daniel smiled and jack and eben came up stairs from their room "good morning guys" jack said grabbing a bottle of water. "Morning how you feeling?" Jonah asked sitting on the counter "well my head was just in a toilet..so I'm great" jack says sarcastically. "He had morning sickness" eben said kissing jacks temple. "Breakfast is almost done who wants to go wake zach up?" Daniel asked turning his attention back to the stove. "I'll wake him up" Jonah said jumping off of the counter and going to wake zach up. Once in zachs room Jonah was suprised that zach wasnt in his bed. Jonah thought zach couldve been in the bathroom but then he saw the window was open. Jonah opened the window a bit more so he could look out and see if zach went out their. Zach tiredly looked over and saw Jonah "What are you doing out here?" Jonah smiled zach crawled over to the window and where Jonah was. Zach rubbed the tired from his eyes "are you tired?" Jonah chuckled slightly zach nodded tiredly "I was just about to go to bed" zach said crawling into the window. "Its like almost 8am" Jonah said closing the window "I know" zach said petting tigger. "Oh um your dad wants you to come eat breakfast with us" Jonah said and zach nodded grabbing some clothes from his dresser. "I'll be down in a minute" zach said tiredly. Jonah went back downstairs and zach got dressed in a baggy hoodie and some black skinny jeans. Zach came down stairs and sat beside Jonah at the tableand across from Eben and jack was sitting beside eben. Daniel sat plates infront of everyone then sat beside zach. Zach layed his head on his knuckle and for the first time in awhile ate breakfast with his family. After breakfast everyone was just sitting and talking well exept for zach he was just really tired nd was trying to stay awake. The four men were laughing and jack almost made a joke about his pregnancy but caught himself not ready to tell zach yet. Zachs eyes began to get heavier and heavier he tried to stay awake. Zachs head slipped off his knuckle and his forehead came into contact with the table not enough to leave a mark butit made a thud. Daniels eyes widen when he saw zachs head smack the table. "Ouch" zach said in a husky voice lifting his head up. Daniel quickly put his hands on both sides of zachs face and made it so they were looking at each other. It always scared daniel to death when zach would hit his head off of things ever since he started working as a doctor and learned the dangers of it. "Are you okay?" Daniel said and zach gave him a small toothless smile "fine just tired" zach said slightly yawning. "What time did you go to bed" daniel says brushing hair out of zachs face. "I didnt" zach said back tiredly. Daniel sighed "Zach you gotta stop this" daniel said cupping zachs cheeks. Zach sadly nodded he wasnt going to do it though he liked the night he liked watching the stairs until he fell asleep he liked thinking about the next day. Zach layed his head in his arms and let his eyes flutter close. Everyone else went back to talking exept daniel he was just looking sadly at zach. After a few minutes zach fell asleep and jack and eben went back downstairs. Daniel put the plates in the sink but didn't clean them yet because he just wanted to relax. Daniel went and picked zach up like a small child and zach latched onto him not fully awake. Daniel carried zach to the couch were Jonah was and sat down beside him with zach in his lap. Jonah smiled and wrapped his arm around daniels shoulders. Daniel looked at the sleeping boy in his arms "my baby" daniel said brushing zaxhs hair out of his face. "He said he loved you last night I just forgot to tell you" Jonah said kissing daniels Temple. Daniel instantly smiled "just wish he knew how much he means to me how much he means in this world" daniel said resting his head on jonahs shoulder. About half an hour later daniel took zach back to his room and tucked him in. Daniel stood at the doorway of zachs room and just looked at the boy for few seconds "i love you zach" he says blowing zach a kiss something they used to do all the time when zach was younger. Daniel went back down stairs with Jonah "hes out cold" daniel chuckled sitting on the couch "I have a question" Jonah said turning his phone off. "What is it?" Daniel asked looking into jonahs eyes. "Zach said that you left him what did he mean by that?" Jonah asked turning his body to face daniel. Daniel sighed sadly "that's the worst and the best decision of my life.." Daniel said putting his face in his hands. "Just tell me about it babe" Jonah said rubbing daniels shoulder. Daniel took his hands off his face and sighed "I took him to a hospital and left him" daniel said quietly "What do you mean?" Jonah asked pulling daniel closer to him. "He-he stabbed himself with scissors so I sent him to mental hospital for over 24 hours and hes hated me ever since." Daniel said burying his head in the crook of jonahs neck. "He doesn't hate you love" Jonah said kissing daniels head. "Prove it" daniel sasses back sadly. "Daniel! He loves you so fucken much he probably just has trust issues he told me just last night that he loves you" Jonah said making daniel look him in the eyes. "R-really?" Daniel said whipping the tears from his eyes with the back of his hand."yes Dani! He loves you so so much" jonaj said hugging daniel tightly. Daniel hugged back "when he wakes up just talk to him no yelling no getting mad a each other just talk about it tell him how you feel" Jonah whispered in daniels ear. "I will" daniel said kissing the side of jonahs face. Around two hours later zach woke up he got a snack and then went back to his room well roof. Daniels heart was pounding as he looked at zachs closed door this talk was long over due. Daniel knocked on the door "Zach can I come in?" Daniel asked zach heard and quickly came back inside and opened the door letting daniel in. Daniel sighed when he sqw the open window he went over and closed it making zach sigh. "Baby please stop going out there its dangerous" daniel said closing and locking the window "but its the only place I like " Zach sighed sadly "we'll find another spot like umm...the park the trees just not the roof darling" danie said sitting on zachs bed against the headboard "come sit with me" daniel smiled. Zach slowly went over to daniel and sat beside him twiddling his thumbs. Daniel wrapped his arm around zach "can we talk?" Daniel asked putting his hand over zachs thumbs "about what?" Zach said looking up at daniel "about us" daniel says and zach makes a confused face. "What about us?" Zach asked. "Just well I do t know how to say this but" daniel started but cut himself off not finding the right words. "I-i just wanted to tell you that you mean the world to me and I would do anything for you and if what you said the other night was true I-ill leave you alone if thats what you truly want because I would do anything to make you happy" daniel said kissing zachs head and sitting up. "B-but I-i love you" zach said getting teary eyed over what he said he didnt realize how much it affected the person who did everything for him who would give up his own happiness for him who would do anything for him. Zach came closer to daniel "I dont want you to leave me again" zach whimpered desperately wanting daniels arms around him. As if daniel could read zachs mind he took the boy into his arms "shh angle dont cry" daniel said holding the back of zachs head and hugging him close "please dont leave me again" zach whimpered "shh baby I won't never again will I leave you its to hard" daniel whispered in zachs ear holding his close "What do you mean hard?" Zach asked whipping his eye with the back of his sleeve. "Its very hard for me to go anywhere without you because i love you so much" daniel said kissing zachs head. "I'm sorry" zach said hugging daniel tightly "I'm so sorry" zach said hugging daniel tighter and daniel holding zach closer whispering sweet things in his ear soothing the small boy.
