Summary: The fire I thought I'd had with Daniel didn't burn as hot as the one I had with Jack. So I'm going to set about making things right with him…if there is still a chance for us.

"Jackson, slow down, baby," Emily Thorne called out to her toddler son as she caught up with his usual hyper self. She was proud to be a mother even though she had no idea whether or not she would run into Jackson's father – but she was definitely hoping for the former. While trailing along behind the dark-haired toddler, Emily was suddenly aware of someone watching her but when she turned around, the person had disappeared into the shadows. She turned back to feel her son's arms wrap around her legs, clothed in a pair of faded denim jeans. Her gaze shot up when she heard someone screaming at her in French and she knew Jackson had taken something off their booth without permission. Emily sweeps her baby boy into her arms before turning and walking away – but right into a hard body, which nearly knocked Jackson out of her arms. "Oh! You should really watch where you're going next time, pal, or…Jack!"

"Hey, beautiful," Jack Porter said as he gave her the smile she had once fallen for – and still loved. It was the same smile that still haunted her dreams and kept her from falling asleep at night. She smiled softly when he looked down at the little boy cuddling close to his mother's chest. "And who is this little guy?"

"This," Emily replied as she hoisted her son higher on her slender hip, "is Jackson Nolan Clark-Porter." She knew she'd shocked her ex into silence from the look she saw on his face so she trudged on with her explanation. "I didn't know I was pregnant until the night Amanda came back, and even then, I couldn't tell you. So Nolan helped me by going to Europe with me and we stayed there until a week after Jackson's first birthday, coming back here, to the Hamptons."

"But not to Daniel?" Jack asked to fill the silent void where she didn't mention her other ex's name. Emily only shook her head no.

"No. Daniel and I ended the engagement after he confronted me about the kiss you & I shared," she replied. Jack then noticed her slender fingers were playing with something on her chain necklace and Emily looked down, smiling. "I had a necklace made with mine & Jackson's birthstones when he was a month old."

Jack nodded slowly, his mind still trying to absorb her unexpected confession about Jackson. His hand came up to scratch the back of his neck before he thought of something. "Do you think Nolan will mind watching the little man for a few hours?"

She smiled and nodded. "I don't think he'll mind at all," Emily replied.
