Chereads / Jake's Touchdown / Chapter 7 - Chapter Eight

Chapter 7 - Chapter Eight

I tilted my head trying figure out what he is telling me, "It up to you. We can face the media now and get it over with or I can call the hospital to see if we can sneak in back."

I sighed as flashes continue as there was a tap on the window.

I looked up as I smirked as I grabbed his hand, "How good of the show can you place on." He lifted his eyebrow, "What do you have in mind?"

I smirked at him, "A good way to let your fan base and my ex realize that they don't have a chance."

He laughed as he took my hand to his lips, "I like the way you think."

He took a deep breath before opening the door.

He stepped out then straightened up before he ran over and opened my door. He held out his hand, "You ready." I placed my hand into his as I nodded and step out of the car.

He held me close to him as flashes blinded us as he held up his arm over my head as the reports started to yell questions at him, "Jake… Jake… Who is she?"

Jake handed the keys to the valet boy when he turned around as he cleared his throat as one of the reports yelled, "Shut up. He about to say something."

All microphones and cameras pointed to us as he kept his arm around my shoulders, "This is my girlfriend, Sage."

He looked back at the hospital, "Her five years old son has leukemia, and we would love some privacy while he recover from an infection that landed him the hospital. Please for the privacy of ours and the other patients that comes to Children's; remove yourself from here and we will update the media when we know that he is well, and we have delt with his illness."

He looked down at me as he planted his lips against my temple then we turned to walked into the hospital as the reporters kept asking us questions when a man in a suit came out and winked at Jake, "Okay people. Please show Jake, his lovely girlfriend and her son some privacy and go home. He will answers more questions when they have an update."

Walter walked back into the hospital as he followed us up to Tristian's room, "I tried to warn you about the vultures, but you didn't answered your phone. You are lucky that I got tipped off."

I snarled at him as I punched the button to the elevators, "I think you could have started off by being out there and controlling the problem."

He looked at Sage then looked up at me, "I am placing security detail on these two." Sage shook her head, "Is that even necessary?"

Walter sighed, "You two just announced that you are together, and that Sage has a child in the hospital. Media will eat it all up if they get pictures of the mom crying over her sick child."

I looked down at Sage as she looked up at me when I pulled her into me, "Don't worry. I will let them get a picture of him. Right Walter."

He looked up at me as he heard the anger in his name, "Yes, we will not make sure that no one gets a picture of Tristian."

I nodded as we walked off of the elevator when Tiffany stood in the doorway tapping her feet, "How is that the media finds out that you two are together before me."

Sage shrugged her shoulders as we walked to the door, "He just asked me out while we was at the little diner. We didn't know it was public knowledge until we pulled up."

Walter sat on the couch in the room as Sage went to Tristian when he perked up when he saw me, "Jake!"

I smiled at him as I walked over to him then leaned down and gave him a hug.

"We need to figure out who tipped off the press." Walter said as Tristian is hanging on my neck when Sage placed her hands around Tristian to relax when she said, "Well we did give my ex boyfriend's wife a pretty good show at the diner so maybe she or someone there saw what happened."

Tristian hugged his mom as he squeal, "Auntie Tiffany and I just watched you two on the TV."

Sage smiled as she tilted her head, "Oh really."

She narrowed her eyes at Tiffany as she threw her hands up, "If I got heads up, I would have changed the channel." Tristian looked his mother with loving eyes, "You looked pretty on TV."

She smiled at him as she got him to sit down. Damn even for a sick kid he got energy.

"Welcome to my life, are you sure you are up for it?" I chuckled as I sat down, "Yup." Tristian laughed, "I saw you kiss my mommy."

I blushed as Sage narrowed her eyes at Tiffany, "What is he talking about?" Tiffany tilted her head when she said, "Oh Crap. It is all over Facebook with a video of you two kissing in the parking lot."

Walter pulled out his phone as he groaned, "Damn, You two needed to get a room."

My phone started to go off when I looked to see who it was as I rolled my eyes and hit the don't disturb when Sage looked up at me, "Do you need to get that?"

I shook my head as Tristian is getting antsy, "Nope. Just one of my fan base finding out that I declared you as my girlfriend."

She chuckled as she tried to get Tristian to relax, "What did they give him? Sugar?"

Trevor laughed as he stood in the doorway with a tray of coffee, "I knew we need these and what the hell is going on with the vultures outside." I rolled my eyes as he handed me my coffee, "They found out that I made Sage my girl."

His lips curled up as they reached his face, "About time you two declared your love for each other."

Sage grunted, "We have only know each other for a couple days there Trevor. We are seeing where this can go."

He hummed, "Sure. Sage. Keep telling yourself that." He handed Sage a coffee as she sipped it, "Oh that is good."

Tiffany tilted her head, "Did you say you had a run in with Rachael?"

I chuckled as Sage groaned, "Yeah she somehow knew we was in the diner and confronted me." Tiffany snorted as she took her cup from Trevor, "Confront you? About what?"

Sage shrugged her shoulders, "The sperm donator told her that I contacted him and that why he was here. She was telling me to stay away from him."

I threw my head back and laughed, "You should have seen her face when she realized who I was and that I was with Sage."

She looked at me and laughed with me, "That was pretty priceless."

I looked up at Walter as Tristian try to start jumping on the bed as he nodded, "I know what will make this kid sit."

Sage looked up at me as she tilted her head at me as I shrugged my shoulders.

Trevor looked out the door then looked at me confused.

I shook my head as I placed my hands up, "I have no clue what he is up too." I looked at Sage as I smirked, "I do have to get to practice."

She nodded as I got up from the chair then she grabbed my hand when I looked down at her, "Are you coming back?"

I nodded at her, "I will be tonight but tomorrow we are flying out to Toronto for a game on Sunday."

I leaned down and cupped her face as I pressed my lips against her lips, "I will call you when I am gone, and it is only for the weekend then we are back here for the next Sunday."

I walked to the door, "Call me if you need anything or if things changes. I will come running back."
