A Bundle of Secrets Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Cameron could not stop pacing back and forth. Two days ago, the only family he had was his Deception team... and Kay when he really thought about it. However now, not only did he gain and lose a sister within the same five minutes, there was now a completely innocent little girl who only family left seemed to be Cam. Finally, after a good ten minutes of sitting in shocked silence, Dina spoke up, “Cameron?”

Cameron’s attention suddenly to the worried faces all looking at him. He took a deep breath, “If you’re gonna ask me whether or not I’m okay... I’m not.”

“I wasn’t going to ask that. We already know that this is hard for you. It’s hard for all of us.”

Gunter, who hadn’t said much since Farrah came into the archive, “But you need to remember that we are a team and if that means taking care of that little girl whose parents were so cruelly taken from her, so be it”

Cameron smiled at his father-figure, “Thanks Gunter but... now that I know, I have to step up for Farrah. I just don’t know how to.”

Gunter rolled his eyes, “That’s why you have us, you dummy.”

Cameron gave a small chuckle then realized something, “Where’s Kay? And where’s Farrah?”

“Kay went to go change Farrah’s diaper. Poor little thing was fidgeting a lot. She’s very calm” Dina answered.

“Where did they go?”

“I think they went into the powder room but Kay said she’d keep the door open” Replied Dina with a knowing expression on her face. Cameron ignored it went off to see if Kay and Farrah were there.

“Five bucks says he makes a move.” Whispered Jordan

“Five bucks says she makes a move.” Gunter whispered back

“Ten bucks says both of them chicken out of making a move” Dina said upping the ante.

Gunter and Jordan looked at each other then at Dina, “You’re on.” They both exclaimed.

When Cam found Kay, Dina was right, she had kept the door open and she was finishing up with the diaper changing and seems to be talking to the baby so he just leaned by the doorway and listened, “You’ve been such a little angel, yes you have.” She cooed at Farrah causing Cam to smile, “I know a lot of things are going to change for you now but I want you to know that you are in the best hands. Your Uncle Cameron is a good man. I trust him with my life” Those words made Cam’s heart flip a little in his chest, “He might not know exactly what to do at first but give him time and he always comes through and tries to make sure that everyone is happy... even if he’s not” Kay suddenly noticed Cam in the doorway, picked up Farrah and placed her on her hip and gave Cam a smile, “He’s selfless like that.” Cameron didn’t say anything. He just gave a grateful smile took two steps forward and hugged Kay and by association, Farrah. “Cam?” Kay asked softly.

“Thank you.” He whispered softly as he quickly let go, realizing just where they were. Cameron cleared his throat, trying to ignore the light blush that seemed to be resting on Kay’s cheeks, it wasn’t helping him keep her at a distance. She deserved better than him. “So.”

Kay gave a slight chuckle, “So.”

“I was gonna go get some baby stuff for Farrah and I thought you could come with me so I could get your opinion on what to get.”

“What did you have in mind?”

Cam shrugged, “The usual stuff, a crib, car seat, changing table, clothes, maybe a few toys”

“Well, we are still waiting to hear back from the lab about some stuff. I guess I could join you.”

Dina smirked as she, Gunter and Jordan watched Cameron, Kay and Farrah walk out the door shouting a quick good bye, clearly both having chickened out on making a move, “Pay up boys!” The two men rolled their eyes and each handed Dina a ten dollar bill.

Cam and Kay pulled up to the closest Babies-R-Us and went inside. They took a cart and placed Farrah in that baby basket seat and went to shop around. They picked out a sturdy car seat, a nice white crib with a light pink and blue bedding to go with it, and a pretty standard changing table. Kay reminded Cam that he needed a stroller so he got the best one her could find. They went to the clothes section, Cam picked out a few fun bibs along with some hair accessories while Kay got a few t-shirts, pants, and dresses for Farrah. Cameron picked up one of the t-shirt and pants combos and furrowed his brows, “Kay?”

“Yeah?” She replied as she checked on Farrah.

He raised an eyebrow as he turned the clothing set around; it was a set with red pants with white stars and a black t-shirt with the words ‘Ta-Da’ written in white. “Really?”

Kay laughed and nodded, “Let her learn about your dramatic flair early.”

“Oh ha, ha, ha. You’re hilarious Kay.” He said trying to contain a smile.

A little later, while they waiting in line, they were both trying to entertain Farrah with Cameron making funny faces and Kay giving her a little tickle every now and then. An elderly woman in front of them spoke up, “Hello, I’m sorry to bother you.”

Kay replied, “Oh, I’m sorry, are we being too loud?”

The woman waved her hand, “Oh, not at all, I just wanted to say that you have a very adorable child.”

“Oh, Thank you, well, actually-” Cameron tried to explain.

“I generally don’t see such a well-behaved baby but judging by her parents, I’d say it makes sense. You two seem very happy together”

“Oh, you see-” Kay tried to explain but was interrupted by the speakers telling the woman to please proceed to Register Nine.

“That’s my cue, enjoy your day you three.”

“Uh thank you.” Kay replied. It suddenly became very quiet between her and Cameron as he paid for the items and Kay took Farrah out of the cart and placed her in the new stroller.

When they got to Kay’s car, they still didn’t say a word. That is, until, Cameron spoke up, “So that lady thought we were together and that Farrah was our daughter... crazy right?” He said as he secured the car seat.

“Yeah... crazy.” Kay said subconsciously brushing her hair behind her ear. “So I guess when I drop you off at your place, I’ll just help you get all this inside then I’ll see you tomorrow?”

Cameron looked confused as he took Farrah from the stroller and carefully placed her in the car seat, “Why don’t you stay for dinner? I can order a pizza.”

“I wouldn’t want to impose or anything.”

“Impose? Kay, come on, I like having you around. Plus, you could help me set up the crib.” Cameron joked, “Plus I’d rather you help me eat a pizza than eat the whole thing with shame.”

Kay laughed at that last remark making Cameron smile, “Well then, I guess we’re eating pizza at your place then.”

“Darn straight we are!”

Kay raised an eyebrow, “Darn?”

“There is a child present Kay!” He joked as he placed the rest of the items in the trunk of the car.

They drove to Cameron’s apartment and took almost everything with them, leaving the stroller and car seat in the car. In the apartment, Cam was sitting on the ground in his spare bedroom trying to figure out how to put the crib together while Kay sat crossed-legged across from Cam with Farrah on her lap as she jingled her keys for the little girl. “I think I got it now but I don’t know if I can finish it for tonight.” Cam said, scratching his head.

“It’s too bad we can’t use Farrah’s crib but it was broken.”

“Broken?”

“When the killer entered the apartment, they ransacked the whole place. Including Farrah’s room.”

“I hope we find the coward! They deserves to rot in jail for what they did.” Cam shook his head, “Now if only I could figure out how to put this forsaken thing together!”

“It’s a good thing you picked out that cushioned play pen for Farrah so they is somewhere that she could technically sleep in just for tonight, maybe you should set that up first.”

Cam nodded, “Good idea.” He went to set up the play pen in the living room

Just then, Kay’s phone rang, “Hello? Hey Mike. ...Uh-huh. ...Uh-huh. ...Uh-huh. Good to know, thanks Mike, I’ll see you tomorrow.” Kay put her phone down on her lap causing Farrah to pick it up and just play around with it.

“What was that about?” Cameron asked as he re-entered the spare room.

“So good news is that the bullets used on Fiona and Shawn were from the same gun meaning that it was the same murder weapon.”

“And the bad news?”

“It doesn’t mean that it was the same killer.”

“Any suspects so far?”

“We’re trying to find out what these two did for a living and go from there but for now, Mike and I will be going to Shawn’s next of kin for more information.”

“Shawn’s parents are still alive?” Cameron asked incredulously.

Kay nodded, “Yes but according to what we could see in the home, there were no pictures of parents so something tells me that they weren’t very active in their son’s life lately.”

A little later, Cam had set up the play pen in front of the couch and Kay had ordered that pizza. Kay put Farrah in the pen along with a few toys to keep her occupied but the baby soon feel asleep and the two of them collapsed on the couch, suddenly realizing that they were tired. “You okay?” Kay asked sitting up, facing him, placing an arm on the back pillow.

Cam turned his face her “Yeah... I guess. Just... still processing everything.” He adjusted himself so his body was facing Kay as well and placed an arm on the back pillow as well, “It’s just... so much has changed about my life in just one day. I mean if you had told me yesterday that I had a sister, I would’ve had said you were crazy. I can’t help but think that things might have ended differently for Fiona if I had known”

Kay placed her hand on top of his, “Well, I know that if you had known you had family out there, you would have fought tooth and nail to make sure they lived a good life. I mean, just look at what you’re doing for Farrah. No one had to even tell you that her care essentially falls to you now, you just accepted it and you have not complained about it once!” Cameron smiled at her and took the hand that was under hers and intertwined their fingers causing both their cheeks to gain a slight pink colour. “What?”

“You make me smile, that’s all.” They locked eyes as Cam said something else, “I don’t know what it is but working with you is always the best part of my day and I just... I’m happy when you’re around Kay.”

Kay saw that there was something in his eyes that she hadn’t seen before but she wasn’t sure what it was, “You make me happy too Cameron. I honestly look forward to cases when I get to work with you.”

They both started moving closer to each other without even realizing it until their knees brushed together. Cameron cleared his throat, never taking his eyes off her, “Kay, I...”

“Yes?” She asked searching his face as if trying to figure out what he was going to say.

“Kay, I... there’s something I need to tell you.” Cameron said, his voice almost in a whisper, leaning in slightly as Kay did the same.

“Tell me.” She whispered back.

“I don’t know how...”

Kay bit her lip which drove Cameron crazy, “C-can you show me?” She asked with hesitation.

Cameron nodded as he leaned in until their noses were touching, “If... if you want me to stop... now’s kinda the time.” Kay shook her head ever slightly, worried that if she moved too much, she would break this... thing they had just created. When Cam closed his eyes, she did the same and he lightly pressed his lips against hers. When Kay didn’t recoil or even move, he pressed on her lips a bit harder while taking his other hand and cupping her cheek with it as Kay’s other hand moved to be placed on his shoulder. Call them crazy but they both felt something that they had never felt before. After a few moments, Kay pulled back for air, much to Cameron’s disappointment. They didn’t move from their position however. Cam’s thumb stroked her cheek as he looked into her shining eyes, “That was... wow...”

“Yeah... wow...” Kay replied, almost speechless. Cam began to lean in again when the doorbell rang.

What will become of Cam and Kay’s strictly professional relationship now? One might wonder... Yeah... I’m a teaser.
