Ashton looked at the kid and at Caleb back and forth. Caleb seemed to be unbothered by Ashton's surprise and simply observed Ashton's response. "Who...is he?" Connor asked from the back of Ashton.
"Remember I told you about Ashton, this is him". Connor introduced to his son. "This is Connor". Caleb introduced Ashton.
"..." Ashton opened his mouth, but failed to say anything. So instead, he linked Caleb. [What? How? When? Where] He just blabbered whatever question words he could think of.
"Can I go to my room"? Connor asked. Caleb nodded at him and carefully avoiding Ashton he vanished. Caleb motioned to Mr Gibson to follow after Connor who was standing behind Ashton earlier. After Mr. Gibson was gone Caleb took a few steps further.
"You're a Dad"? Ashton asked before Caleb.
"Yeah," Caleb shrugged.
"Why didn't you tell me?"Ashton asked in confusion. "I mean...how? He is seven right?" Ashton asked.
