Chapter 1

Jenny's P.O.V

A few days ago

I walked up to my dad's apartment holding my four year old son's hand. I looked at him and he met my eyes he gave my hand a tight squeeze and smiled at me reassuringly. I wasn't alone, I have Talon, and I will always have Talon.

With new found confidence I knocked on the door. Dan opened; "Jenny!?" he whispered, shocked of course, "Hey Dan." I said, he smiled and then spotted Talon who was standing bravely next to me, "Who is this?" asked Dan, "Your nephew."

His eyes widened, "I'm Talon." Answered my son, he took a step forward and stuck out his hand, Dan looked surprised and amused, he shook Talon's hand, "Hi I'm your uncle Dan." He said I felt like crying because Dan in his own special way just accepted my son as his nephew.

"Why don't you guys come inside?" said Dan, Talon turned and winked at me. I just rolled my eyes, like father like son. We came in and saw that Serena, Chuck and Blair were there including dad and Lily. "Hey guys." I said they looked at me with widened eyes before Blair and Serena attacked me.

"God Jenny we missed you!" said Blair "Why did you leave?" asked Serena I just shook my head and squeezed Talon's hand, he stuck out his hand again, "Hi, I'm Talon." He said every ones eyes went to him; Chuck stood up and shook his hand

"I'm Chuck; I'm a friend of your mothers." He said "How do you know that she's my mother?" Chuck looked a bit taken back, and glanced at me but I simply shrugged.

"I think it's his father's genes, I mean he was a prodigy." I said Blair looked at me, "You slept with a nerd!" Serena put her hand over Blair's mouth "Child present!" she whispered Talon shook his head and pointed to Chuck, "You didn't answer my question." He said threateningly, "Talon!" I scolded

"You have her eyes." Said Chuck, dad came up to Talon and looked at him and I could tell Talon was getting uncomfortable, "Dad." I said, he looked at me, "How did this happen?" he asked, my heart broke and the sound of his voice.

"Dad." I said this time crying, I couldn't help it, I couldn't stop dad got up and hugged me, "Shh, its okay, I missed you Jenny." He said "I missed you too dad." He pulled away and picked Talon up, "I'm your grandfather Talon and you and your mother are staying with us."

Present

I was walking with Talon to Central Park when it happened. He dropped the ball into the road. He ran to get it and nearly got hit by a car when two arms grabbed him and pulled him out of the road with Talon holding the ball close to him.

"Talon!" I cried and ran to him, I took him out of the stranger's arms and held him close, "Why did you go after the ball, I could've just gotten you a new ball." I said "But this ball was the first thing grandpa got for me, a new ball wouldn't be the same." He said

I held him close and kissed his temple, I then turned to the stranger, "Thank you for saving my son." I said and that was when I saw him, it wasn't a stranger that saved my son, it was Nate. "Jenny?!" he said surprised, his eyes then went to Talon and then back to me.

"He is your son?" he asked softly almost breathless. "Yes." I answered I looked at Talon who was eyeing Nate suspiciously before realization hit his face, and he smiled, "Thank you and sorry I inconvenienced you." Said Talon and Nate looked at him in surprised before he smiled in amazement

"How old is he?" asked Nate, "Four." I answered, he looked at Talon scrutinizing but Talon just faced him head on, "He has your eyes." Said Nate "Yeah, we've been getting that a lot." I said Nate looked at me, and I mean really looked at me, "You look good." He said "Thanks."

I heard Talon sigh, "Why are two so awkward?" he asked, "Talon." I scolded but he looked defiant, "If it's because I'm here, I'll have you know that I am very mature and can handle adult conversation." Nate blinked and turned his gaze to me, "You sure he's four?" he asked, I laughed "He's father was a prodigy, he did everything from science to art." Nate's eyes turned sympathetic, "Was?" he asked

I didn't know how to answer, I never truly spoke of Noah, and I didn't even tell my dad about him. Nate took my silence as sign that I wasn't ready and said, "I have to go but we should catch up later?"

"Definitely." I answered

"It's not a date."

"Mommy, I know you haven't been on a date for awhile but that is a date." That was how my son conversation with my son went as we walked home from the park. "For the last time Talon it's not a date." I said as we walked into the house.

"What's not a date?" I looked up and saw Blair; "Blair!" cried Talon and he jumped out of my arms and straight into Blair's; over a short period of time Talon has taken a liking to Blair. "Hey there sport, what were you and mommy talking about?" she asked

"We were at the park when mommy and I ran into Nate…" And so Talon began telling the story, Blair looked amused and turned to me "It's a date."

"It's two old friends meeting and catching up." I replied smartly but Blair looked at me amused and shook her head in mock disappointment.

Nate's P.O.V.

I couldn't believe what just happened! I met Jenny and her son; he didn't look much like her except for the eyes and smile. Jenny looked freaking fantastic! It seems having a kid gave Jenny a more mature look and a curvy figure. I remembered what it was like being with Jenny.

She was my friend, being with her was feeling free and happy. She made me feel like I was on top of the world. Unfortunately she was still two years younger than me and at times it felt like I was babysitting a little girl than in a relationship.

But seeing her now with a kid was surreal. I missed Jenny, she made my life interesting. I have so much I want to tell her all I need to do was pick up the damn phone. Just then my phone rang, for a second I just let it ring before picking it up.

"Hello?" I asked, "Hey Nate it's me Jenny." Now that was creepy! "Hey how are you?" I heard her groan, "Please Nate you know that I hate formalities, we're friends we don't do formalities." I smiled, still Jenny "No we don't." I agreed

"Will you like to join me and Talon tomorrow, we're just going out for ice cream at the park but I thought it would be a good chance to catch up because I'm going to be pretty busy." She said in a rush, "Why are you going to be so busy?" I asked feeling slightly disappointed

"I got a job working with Blair's mom and the woman is a workaholic so I will be extremely busy too." She answered "I would love too." I really would, Talon seems like a cool kid and meeting him would be equivalent to meeting a celebrity. This is Jenny Humphrey's son!

"Great I'll see you tomorrow at one." After saying goodbyes we hung up, I felt really good now I couldn't wait to see Jenny and meet her son.
