"When's he finish?" Kaitlyn asks, waddling around. I grabbed the three-year-old and pulled her into my lap. She squealed and giggled.
"Soon, princess, just an hour," I said. She clapped her hands and sat back into my chest.
Me and Kaitlyn were at her brother's soccer practice, waiting for him to finish. Normally, y/n drops him off, runs errands and then picks him up. But y/n was busy today, so me and Kaitlyn were left to do the job.
"Daddy!" Kaitlyn screamed pointing at Kayden. I smiled as she clapped as Kayden scored a goal. "Did it!" She screamed. I smiled as she took my phone out of my hands.
I leaned back into my palms as she began to play on my phone. I watched over her shoulder as she watched her show, looking up occasionally at Kayden. She turned my phone off and turned back and looked at me. I raised my eyebrows and she giggled.
Kaitlyn stood up and raised her arms up. I picked her up and sat her on my shoulders. She laughed and tugged at my hair. "Ah, that hurts princess," I said, reaching up to untangle her fingers. She just giggled. My phone began to ring and I picked it up, one hand on Kaitlyn's knee so she wouldn't fall, and another holding the phone. "Yo," I said as I answered.
"Yo, where the fuck is the camera?" Ethan asked. I rolled my eyes and winced as I heard something fall. "Fuck."
"At the warehouse? Where we filmed last?" I asked. I heard a sigh and rolled my eyes again. I felt Kaitlyn tug at my shirt and mindlessly pried her fingers off.
"Right," Ethan mumbled. "But did you take the SD card out, I was gonna edit," He said, and I heard a car door shut.
"No, it's in-" I was cut off as Kaitlyn started hitting on my head. "What is it princess?" I asked, slightly annoyed. She frowned at me and pointed.
"Is that Kait-" I cut Ethan off as I stood up, carrying Kaitlyn on my hip.
"Shit, okay, I gotta go," I muttered, ending the call and running over to Kayden, Kaitlyn grabbing onto my shirt. I set Kaitlyn down on the grass before walking over to pry Kayden off of another kid. "Off, buddy, c'mon," I mumbled, pulling him off.
Kayden punched the kid again and stumbled backwards. The coach ran over and helped the other kid. Kayden frowned at him. "Don't ever talk about my sister again," Kayden mumbled at his teammate. I frowned and took a look at Kayden's leg. He was limping.
"What happened?" The coach asked them. I sighed, holding Kayden up and reaching over to pick up Kaitlyn, now crying.
"He called my sister stupid!" Kayden yelled. I winced as Kaitlyn looked around, confused. Kayden lunged at him again, and I held him back. "Dad!"
"It's okay, leave it," I told him. He sighed and rolled his eyes. "That leg looks bad, we should go to the hospital," I said. Kayden looked at it and frowned.
"It hurts," He mumbled as the coach cleared everything up. I sighed, grabbing the 6-year-old's hand.
"Okay, Kay?" Kaitlyn asked, concerned. I smiled and kissed her cheek, putting her down. "Daddy, up!" She whined, raising her arms. I shook my head.
"I'm going to carry your brother, okay?" Kaitlyn frowned, not used to this. I sighed, picking Kayden up. "Here, princess, you get to hold my keys, okay?" I asked, giving her my keys. Her eyes lit up and she dangled them in her hands. She held them in one hand and raised the other to me. I took it and we walked to the car.
"Ow," Kayden muttered as I set him in the backseat. I sighed, ruffling his hair, pulling on his seatbelt. "It hurts," He said again.
"It'll be okay, hang in there bud," I said. He sighed loudly bending over to look at his leg. I walked around as Kaitlyn came running to me. "Alright you too, princess," I said, picking her up. She squealed as I put her in her seat.
"Daddy!" She said, handing me her keys. I smiled, taking them and shoving them into my pocket as I strapped her into her car seat. "Kay get better," She said, reaching over to pat his head. Kayden grinned at her.
I shut the door and got into the driver's seat. Starting the car and driving towards the hospital, I handed my phone back to Kayden. "Here bud, can you call mom and put it on speaker for me?" I asked. He took it from me and began to dial y/n,
"Hello?" I sighed as y/n picked up. "Grayson?"
"It's me," Kayden said. I could practically see y/n frowning. "We're in the car," He told her.
"Practice doesn't end for another half hour, what happened?" She asked. I sighed. "Is it raining?"
"No, I got hurt," Kayden said. I winced as I stopped at a stoplight. Kaitlyn giggled as she almost flung out of her car seat. She clapped as I started the car again.
"Give the phone to you dad, honey," Y/N said. I held my hand back and Kayden handed it to me. "Grayson, what happened?" She asked. I sighed and put the phone in the cupholder.
"He got into a fight, leg looks bad so we're going to the hospital," I told her. Y/N gasped and I heard the sound of her own keys. "You don't have to-" She cut me off.
"You don't have any of his stuff, I'll meet you at the hospital," She said. I sighed and nodded, even though she couldn't see me. "Okay, drive safe, love you," She mumbled, as she started the car.
"Love you, too, see you soon."

"Kay okay?" Kaitlyn asked again as we waited in the waiting room. I nodded and she turned in my lap. "I wanna see Kay!" She shouted. I put a finger to my lips.
"Shhh," I said. She immediately covered her mouth with her hand and giggled. "Kay's okay, mommy's with him," I told her. She nodded at me.
"Kay sick?" She asked. I shook my head and she frowned. "Doctor?" She asked.
"He's not sick, the doctor's just going to wrap up his leg," I whispered. Her eyes widened.
"Present?" She asked. I chuckled and shook my head.
"No, Kay's leg is broken," I mumbled. Kaitlyn nodded and turned around. I sighed as I tightened her pigtails.
We waited quietly in the waiting room spending time watching the news on the tv and coloring in the book on the coffee table. "Mommy!" Kaitlyn whispered pointing to y/n walking into the room. I smiled, standing up with Kaitlyn on my hip.
"Everything good?" I asked as we walked over to her. She nodded and smiled.
"He's got a cast, but besides that, it's fine," She told me. I nodded and smiled at her. "Wanna come see your brother's cast?" Y/N asked Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn nodded and reached out to y/n and I passed her over.
We walked into the room and Kayden was sitting on the bed, looking at his now cast clad leg. I smiled. "How's it feel buddy?" I asked. He frowned up at me.
"Itchy," He frowned. I smiled. "When does it come off?" He asked, poking at the blue cast.
"In a couple of months," I told him. "Can't play soccer till then, bud," I told him. His eyes widened and he shook his head.
"What no, I can play in this thing," Kayden said. I chuckled and shook my head. "Yeah, look," He tried to get off the bed but I pushed him back.
"Not with the crutches your about to get, you're not," I told him. He frowned. I sighed and patted his shoulder. "Soon buddy, don't worry," I said. He nodded.
"Okay, we're gonna go get a snack," Y/N said, referring to her and Kaitlyn. Kaitlyn nodded and clapped her hands, waving bye as they left.
"Bye," Kayden mumbled, looking down at his soccer shorts, frowning.
"Why'd you fight him bud?" I asked, sitting up next to him on the bed. Kayden sighed and looked down at his one soccer cleat.
"He called Kaitlyn stupid because she fell when she was walking to you on the grass," He mumbled. I sighed, and put an arm around his shoulder, pulling him into me. "He was being mean and I got mad so I-" I cut him off.
"You were standing up for her, but you shouldn't have jumped on him, bud," I said softly. Kayden shrugged and sighed.
"Sorry," He mumbled. I shook my head.
"Don't be sorry," I said. "I know you love your sister, but you can't beat kids up like that, dude," I said. Kayden grinned up at me and laughed.
"Uncle E said that," He said. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Yeah, we tend to do that."
