Ch. 1

Babe had gone back to the Pine Cone after not being able to find JR. She wanted to find him and ask him if what he said was real, or if it was just one of his mind games that he loved to play on Babe. She hoped it was the first one. Babe's 'plan' to win JR back and marry him worked too well, and now she loved him. Krystal knew that Babe felt something for Adam Chandler JR, but she didn't know about Babe's love for him.

I'm falling in love with you.

JR's words rung in her ears, making her smile. He really did say that to her. After everything they had been through, he was starting to fall in love with her again. Or so he said. But Babe didn't want to believe the bad about JR right now, she just wanted to bask in the knowledge that he might love her again!

But wait, what was she doing? This was JR, the man who drugged her, and took away Bess, and then he took away Little A. He threatened to take him out of the country, and pulled all of Babe's time with him before he left. She can't love him.

What about all the things you did to him? Babe asked herself.

And then there was Jamie. She wasn't sure where she really stood with James Martin. In their relationship, one thing they never had was actual love. Maybe Jamie had love for her, but Babe couldn't return it. She always felt like something was missing, and in the past couples weeks she found out it was love. She never felt with Jamie like she felt with JR. Babe would always have feelings for Jamie, but JR was her match, and she was his.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts, "Who is it?" Babe asked, standing up off her bed.

"It's me." JR called, and Babe full out ran to the door and yanked it open.

"JR, what are you doing here?" Babe asked, moving aside so he could walk in.

"I couldn't leave things the way there were." He said, walking inside and turning to face her.

"You mean..." Babe said, looking up into his eyes.

"Babe, when I told you I was falling for you, I meant it. But I can't get in another relationship with you. Not ever." JR said and Babe's heart broke.

"Wha... what?" Babe stuttered.

"I don't trust you Babe, it's that simple. After everything that has happened, we just can't do it again."

"But JR..." Babe started, but no words came out after she had said that. She drew a blank.

"I know you will want to tell me things will be different, but they won't. You can't change, and neither can I."

"Yes, I can!" Babe pleaded; shocked by the way she was trying to get JR to believe her.

"No, and I can't either. It just won't work Babe. It's for the best." JR told her, and then walked out of her hotel room and shut the door.

Babe covered her mouth with her hands, and tried to stop the crying that was about to emerge from her. She lay back on the bed and covered her face with her pillow.

JR leaned against her door, and after a deep breath, he walked back to his car and drove back home.

-----

It had been a few days since JR had said he and Babe could never have a relationship. Babe had gotten a call from Krystal, telling her to come to the manor. Babe didn't want to go, but she had to talk to her mom.

Babe pulled her car up to the mansion and stopped, taking a couple deep breaths and mentally preparing herself in case she saw JR. She told herself that he was probably out, and so she wouldn't have to worry about seeing him.

She walked up to the door and knocked, waiting for someone to open it.

Finally the door opened, and Babe exhaled, seeing the person that opened it.

"Babe, what are you doing here?" JR asked.

"Mama called and said she needed to see me." Babe said, walking inside, "How's little A?" she asked.

"He is good." JR said.

"I haven't seen him in a few days, would you mind if..." Babe asked.

"Of course not, he is your son. You can see him whenever you want." JR said.

Babe smiled, "Thank you."

They stood there in an awkward silence, and finally Babe said, "Well, I better see Mama."

JR nodded and she turned and walked up the stairs, towards her mom's room.

She knocked on the door, and then walked in. Krystal was lying on the bed, reading a book.

"Hi Mama." Babe said.

"Baby doll, where've you been? I haven't seen you in a while!" Krystal said, coming up to Babe.

"Well, I've just been busy." Babe said.

"Or somethin' happened with JR." Krystal said.

"Why would you think that Mama?" Babe asked, going to sit on Krystal's bed.

"Because I know you baby doll, and right now you look really hurt." Krystal sat down next to Babe and put her arm around her.

"Nothing is wrong, I promise. I'm just tired." Babe said.

Babe didn't want to tell Krystal the truth that JR had said there was no way a relationship would happen between Babe and JR. Krystal would... Babe actually didn't know how her mama would respond.

"Is it about JR sayin' he would never have a relationship with you again?" Krystal asked.

Babe pulled back, shocked, "How did you know?"

"I heard JR and Adam talkin' about it." Krystal explained.

"Did they say anything else?" Babe asked.

"No, after JR told Adam what happened, Adam said a few not-nice things about you and JR walked away, looking really bummed."

Babe sighed, "There goes my plan."

"There goes more than your plan. I know you have feelings for the spawn of the devil, a.k.a JR. The devil being Adam Chandler."

Babe shrugged, "Not really." Then she stood up and grabbed her purse.

"Babe, I know you, and never in my life have I seen you give up so easily." Krystal said.

"But mama, JR is right. After everything..." Babe trailed off.

"Leave the past in the past. Babe, you love your son, right?"

"Of course I do!"

"Then fight for him!"

"But..."

"No buts, Baby doll. You said you would do whatever you can for your little boy, and right now you're givin' up on him!"

Babe sighed, knowing her mother was right. Babe nodded, and then without another word left her mama's room. Babe walked down the hallway until she reached her son's nursery.

"Oh my baby boy." Babe said quietly, seeing her son sleeping.

She silently walked into the room, pausing at the crib to watch her son sleep. She gently pushed little blonde hairs out of his face.

"You scared mama really bad sweetheart. Yes you did. When you were taken, mama and daddy, and grandma and grandpa were all so worried about you. Half the town was worried about you. You are one popular little boy." Babe spoke quietly, talking to her sleeping child.

Babe didn't notice JR standing at the door, watching them.

"Daddy and I were so happy when you came back to us. We both missed you so much. And we both love you so much." Babe leaned down and kissed her son on his head, "Mama promises to come back as soon as she can. But next time you need to be awake. Bye my little dream boat." Babe planted one last kiss on his head.

JR turned and walked down the stairs, not wanting Babe to see him.

Babe walked out of the nursery and slowly down the stairs, glancing into the living room, seeing JR with a glass of water.

"Bye JR." Babe said, and then walked out of the house.

"Bye." JR said quietly to no one.
