"That bitch!" Annie paced in the living room, "I can't believe she would tell him, how dare she!" She was furious, "Who the hell does she think she is?"
Derek grabbed her arm, "you're gonna have to help me here, what are you talking about?"
"Anthony's teacher, she was best friends with Wendy and I'm willing to bet anything that bitch told my five year old nephew about the accident, and how Kim isn't his biological mother"
"No shit!" Derek was shocked, "you need to calm down, she may not have been the one who told him" he knew she could go off half cocked, "just take a minute"
She laughed, "Oh, I don't need a minute, I'm positive she told Anthony, I'm gonna kick her ass"
"Please Adam, see if he's okay" Kim asked him, "I don't think I can take it if he hates me"
"Baby, he will never hate you" Adam held her face in his hands, "but I will talk to him, see if I can't find out what's happened"
Adam knocked on the door, opening it slowly, "Anthony, I think we need to talk" he sat on the bed, lifting Anthony into his lap, "why did you say that to your mom?"
Anthony climbed out of his lap, his arms folded across his chest, "Anthony, I asked you a question, I expect you to answer it" he told him.
"No!" Anthony yelled, "I don't want too"
"I don't care if you want too or not, Anthony" Adam yelled, Kim couldn't take it anymore.
"Adam, don't yell at him. Come on" she pulled his arm, "just give him some time" she could see Anthony crying hiding his face behind a stuffed animal.
"No, Kim he's not going to speak to you or me like that" he whispered through his teeth.
"Please, Adam. For me?" Kim wanted to hug her little boy desperately but was afraid he would reject her.
"Fine" he turned back towards Anthony, "this isn't done, Son, you're going to tell me why you said that to your mom" he pulled the door closed.
"You shouldn't have yelled at him Adam, he's obviously confused" Kim told him, "you just made it worse"
"Wait, why are you mad at me? I'm sorry he's not going to be allowed to speak to you like that" he grabbed a beer, "he's not going to be a smart ass little brat"
"He's not! I'm not mad at you, I'm scared" Kim admitted, "Somehow he found out I'm not his biological mother, we need to figure out a way to tell him the truth and I want to know who told him" knowing that someone told him made her blood boil.
Adam rested his palms on the counter, "Katrina" he hung his head, "It had to be Katrina"
"His teacher?" Kim felt sick, "but you said she was a good person Adam, you told me he would be fine with her!"
"Damn it!" He pounded his fist on the counter, "I know I did, Kim you have to believe me, not for a second did I think she would tell him. My god he's only a little boy, how could she?"
"Mommy?" Harper called from the living room.
Kim rushed to her, "Adam, I won't send him back to school until we get to the bottom of this" she took Harper into the kitchen, both kids had yet to eat dinner.
"He looks okay Mom" Trey told her, "he was angry but I think he's okay" he could hear her try to push the tears away, "his lawyer is still working on the appeal, right?"
Helen composer herself, "Yes, he is. Hopefully he will win" she would never be able to repay Kim for paying for Declan's lawyer even after everything Adam was put through because of Declan.
"Try not to worry so much, he's gonna be okay" Trey tried to reassure her, "I will stop by soon, kiss Charlie for me"
Helen smiled, "Thanks Trey"
"Go relax, I'll take Harper duty tonight" Adam told her, "go run a warm bath or something"
"Is he sleeping still?" Kim asked.
"Yea, he's out cold" Adam told her, he grabbed her hand, "he's confused, but he loves you, I'm going to explain everything to him"
Kim wiped her eyes, "I didn't think we would have to deal with this until he was a teenager" they had discussed telling him when he was older, "I hate it Adam" she finally gave in and started to cry.
"Hey, hey, don't do that" Adam took her in his arms, "please don't cry, Anthony loves you, you are his mother do you understand? You are his mother" he kissed her forehead.
She wiped her eyes and left the safety of his arms, "You'll take care of Harper?"
"Yes, I will. I love you, and so does Anthony" he smiled.
Kim went to his room and watched as he slept, she carefully covered him with the blankets and kissed his forehead, "I love you sweet boy, with all my heart" she sat in the desk chair and cried, hoping he wouldn't hate her.
Katrina sat in the faculty parking lot, still replaying the fight she had with Tanner in her mind, she was hoping he was worried about nothing that Anthony wouldn't say anything.
She rested her head on her steering wheel, a tap on the window pulling her from her thoughts, "What?" She growled, lifting her head up, immediately her stomach flipped on her.
