"Marshall!" Jackson Avery shouted from his kitchen. "Eli!" He called to his youngest son.
"Dad, its Saturday I need sleep." Marshall Avery said sleepily. Marshall was a blue-green eyed 13 year old, he looked exactly like his father and younger brother. Much too Jackson's delight his children shared there were little features that they shared with their mother.
"I made breakfast for you and Eli, I'm going into work."
"Yeah whatev-" Marshall was cut off.
"Daddy I don't want you to go." Five year-old Eli Avery whined.
"I know buddy, but I have to go, you can go to the daycare if you want?"
"Ok" he said reluctantly. He grabbed his fathers hand and walked out the door.
FLASHBACK
"You never loved me. It was always that girl from medschool. I gave you children and you never loved me. I would've given EVERYTHING to have you love me I still would. Kyle, he loved me." Stephanie Edwards said to her husband.
"How long?" Jackson asked.
"Since Marshall was four."
Suddenly Jackson's calm attitude shifted. "Then how am I supposed to know that Eli is mine?"
"He is. I ran a DNA test. I don't want to do this Jackson but I'm ending our marriage." Stephanie handed him the papers she'd been holding.
Jackson began to sign his name. "Maybe you're right Stephanie maybe you were a rebound but I never cheated on you it never crossed my mind." He handed her the papers with his signature.
Stephanie walked towards the door and reached for the door knob and she sighed. "Goodbye Jackson." She said as she walked out the door. Two weeks later Stephanie died in a car crash. Leaving Jackson full custody of his children.
