Chapter 2
Tyler was lying in Allie's bed watching her sleep, he looked over at the clock and saw that it was 5.30am. ''What time is it.'' Allie asked sleepily.
''5.30am, go back to sleep.'' Tyler told her as he rubbed his hands up and down her back.
''Why are you up so early.'' Allie asked him.
''I couldn't sleep.'' Tyler told her. ''I'm thinking of how I'm going to tell my mom.'' Tyler told her.
''She was okay with the fact that you are a father figure to Ethan.'' Allie told him.
''I know, I'm just thinking.'' Tyler told her.
''Stop thinking and go back to sleep, Ethan will be in soon to wake me up.'' Allie told him as she closed her eyes. Tyler watched her for a bit longer before he too fell asleep.
''Mama.'' Ethan called out as he stood by Allie's bed.
''Come round this side Ethan.'' Tyler told him as he lifted his head and saw Ethan and his Mickey Mouse.
''Ty.'' Ethan said with a smile as he ran round to the other side to Tyler.
Tyler carefully lifted Ethan onto the bed so he wouldn't wake Allie. ''How about we go back to sleep for a bit with mommy.'' Tyler asked the young child. Ethan nodded his head and lay down in between Tyler and Allie, Tyler looked over to the clock at saw it was 6.45am. ''Will we go to the park later, me you, mommy and Uncle Dominic.'' Tyler asked him.
''Yeah.'' Ethan replied as he lay his head down and closed his eyes.

''Alright I'll meet you back here after I've talked to my mom.'' Tyler told Allie as he dropped her, Ethan and Dominic at the park.
''Okay, love you.'' Allie told him as she kissed him.
''Love you too. See you guys later.'' Tyler told them as he got out of the car and helped Dominic out of the car and round to Allie and Ethan.
''Bye Tyler/ Bye Ty.'' Ethan and Dominic said as they waved bye and walked off with Allie towards the park.
Tyler go back into his car and drove off to meet his mom at Karen's cafe. ''Hey mom.'' Tyler said as he saw his mom sitting in one of the booths at the back. He kissed her cheek then sat in front of her.
''Not that I don't want to have lunch with you but why did you want to meet.'' Barbara Murray asked her youngest.
''Can I get you to a drink and anything to eat.'' Karen asked them.
''Can I have a black coffee and one of your big breakfasts please.'' Tyler asked her.
''I'll take a coffee with milk and a chicken and bacon Panini.'' Barbara asked her.
''It shouldn't be too long.'' Karen told them as she walked away.
''Allie told me last night when I got home for dinner that she was pregnant.'' Tyler told her.
''Okay, how far along is she.'' Barbara asked him as one of the waitresses brought the coffee down.
''Thanks.'' Tyler said to her. ''I don't know she took a home pregnancy test, she is going to the doctors on Tuesday after school, and I can't go with her as I'm working, but I think Brooke is going to take her.'' Tyler told her as Karen brought down the meals.
''Enjoy.'' She told them as she gave them their plates.
Tyler and Barbara talked about his work and about his niece Lucy new found love for tangled. After lunch Tyler paid the bill before he and Barbara left. ''I'll see you tonight when I come home.'' Tyler told her as he walked her to her car and opened the door for her. ''Mom is Lindsay or Nikki working.'' Tyler asked her.
''No they are both off today why.'' Barbara asked him as she got into her car.
''I was going to bring Lucy and Hannah to the park, I dropped Allie off there before I met you with Ethan and Dominic. But if I did bring Hannah and Lucy either Lindsay or Nikki will have to come and collect them.'' Tyler told her.
''Phone them and see, I've to get back to work so I'll see you later.'' Barbara told him.

Tyler saw Allie over by the slide with Ethan and Dominic. ''Over here girls.'' Tyler told his two nieces. ''I brought Lucy and Hannah with me.'' Tyler told her as he put one of his arms around her shoulders.
''Hey girls.'' Allie told them. ''Dominic and Ethan, Tyler and I are over here on that bench.'' Allie told the two boys and the two girls.
''Okay mama.'' Ethan told her as he went down the slide and ran off to play with the others.
Allie and Tyler took a seat on the bench. ''How did your mom take the news.'' Allie asked him.
''She didn't really say much with it, she just asked how far along you were.'' He told her as he put his arm on the back of the bench and around Allie's shoulders.
''OMG.'' Allie said as she sat forward and stared at the teenage boy in front of her making out with someone who wasn't his girlfriend.
''What's wrong.'' Tyler asked her.
''Drew is over there making out with someone who isn't Shannon.'' Allie told him.
Tyler looked over and saw the two teens. ''What are you going to do then.'' Tyler asked her. ''I know that she isn't your best friend anymore and that what she done to you is probably unforgivable. But don't you think she has a right to know that her boyfriend is messing her around.'' He added.
''I don't know, even if I do tell her she won't believe me.'' Allie told her.
Tyler took his cell phone out and put it up and recorded what they saw. ''Now she will.'' Tyler told her. ''I'll take you by her house if you want after we drop the kids off.'' He told her.

Tyler and Allie had just arrived outside Shannon's house. ''Do you want Ethan and I to come in with you.'' Tyler asked her. Ethan had cried to come out again with Allie.
''Yeah but I need to be the one to tell her.'' Allie told him as they got out of the car, Tyler got Ethan out and carried him up the driveway.
Allie rang the doorbell. ''Allie sweetheart it has been awhile since we have seen you hear.'' The man said when he answered the door.
''Hi Mr Cosgrave, is Shannon home.'' Allie asked him.
''She is she is up in her room.'' Mr Cosgrave told her.
''Is she alone.'' Allie asked as he showed her and Tyler and Ethan in.
''She is why don't you go on up to her. Can I get you boys a drink.'' He asked Tyler and Ethan.
''No thanks.'' Tyler told him as he handed Allie his cell phone.
''He's Allie's and Drew's son.'' Mr Cosgrave asked him as they sat on the couch with Ethan on Tyler's knee.
''Yeah, but he has nothing to do with Drew.'' Tyler told him.
Allie reached Shannon's bedroom and rapped the door. ''Come in.'' Shannon called out. Allie walked in to the bedroom. ''What are you doing here.'' She asked when she saw you it was that had knocked her door.
''I was at the park with the kids and Tyler and I saw Drew there, he was making out with someone else.'' Allie told her.
''Why should I believe you, you are just being spiteful because he dumped you for me.'' Shannon snapped at her.
''Shannon I don't care who the hell Drew is with I have Tyler and my son, but Shannon I know what it feels like to be betrayed by the person that you love.'' Allie told her. ''Here look at this video if you don't believe me.'' She added as she handed Shannon the cell phone. ''I'm sorry.'' Allie told her as she saw Shannon's face fall at what she saw.
''I really thought he loved me, I lost my best friend because he said that he loved me and that I was the one for him.'' Shannon told her as she began to cry. Allie didn't say anything she just hugged Shannon as she knew how she was feeling.
''Shannon, Andrew is here.'' Mr Cosgrave called up the stairs.
''I'll be down in a minute.'' Shannon called down the stairs.
''Let's go show the loser that you're better off without him.'' Allie told her as they walked down the stairs.
They walked into the living room and show an uncomfortable Tyler and Andrew and sitting on the couches. ''Can we talk outside.'' Shannon asked Andrew.
Andrew followed Shannon outside as Allie took a seat on the couch beside Tyler. ''How did she take it.'' Tyler asked her.
''She didn't believe me at first but when she saw the video she cried, I know what it feels like to betrayed and I know that what she done was unforgivable but as long as she doesn't sleep with you then I think we can probably get back to being friends again. It gets kind of boring with being just Jamie and Aiden.'' Allie told him as Ethan climbed over on to her knee. ''Hi baby what's wrong.'' Allie asked him.
''That man keep looking at me, is he my daddy.'' Ethan asked her as he looked at her with his brown eyes.
''He is baby.'' Allie told him as she rubbed her hands through his hair.
''I don't like him.'' Ethan told him. ''Is Ty upset because he was here, I don't like him, I like Ty.'' Ethan told her.
''No buddy, I just don't like your dad either, but I do love you and your mommy.'' Tyler told him.
Shannon came back inside, ''I dumped him, he tried to deny it at first but when I told him that I saw a tape of him with someone, he admitted it and you want to know who the bitch was Samantha Walker.'' Shannon told her. ''Sorry about the swear word in front of the kid.'' She added.
''He has heard them all before, Tyler has an Eminem CD in his car.'' Allie told her.
''Hi, my name is Shannon, what's your name.'' Shannon asked Ethan.
''Efan.'' Ethan told her.
''He looks nothing like Drew at all, he looks more like you.'' Shannon told her.
''That's a good thing.'' Tyler told her. ''Alright bud why don't you and I go and wait for mommy in the car.'' Tyler asked him as he lifted Ethan up from Allie's knee.
''We wait for you mommy outside.'' Ethan told Allie.
''He really is gorgeous Allie.'' Shannon told her once Tyler and Ethan had left the room.
''He's my little man.'' Allie told her.

Tyler had dropped Allie and Ethan home before he headed home. ''Hey mom can you watch Ethan tomorrow I'm going to meet up with Shannon.'' Allie asked Brooke when they were eating dinner.
''I can.'' Brooke told her.
''Why are you and Shannon talking all of a sudden for she slept with your boyfriend.'' Skylar asked her sister.
''When the kids and I were at the park today I saw Andrew making out with someone, at that point I didn't know who she was until Shannon told him that she knew and he admitted and told her it was Samantha Walker, and I know what it feels like so we are going to go to the mall tomorrow and just see where are friendship goes from there.'' Allie told them.
Later that night Allie was sitting in on the rocking chair in Ethan's room with Ethan on her lap as she began to sing to him, Ethan began closing his eyes as he let out a yawn
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Little angel of mine
When you wake I'll be there
Little angel of mine.
There's a star in the sky
And it's shining for you
Make a wish tonight
All your dreams can come true.
My arms will be around you
Kiss your tears away
I'll comfort and protect you
Never be afraid.
Close your eyes, go to sleep
Little angel of mine
When you wake I'll be there
Little angel of mine.
My arms will be around you
Kiss your tears away
I'll comfort and protect you
Never be afraid.
Close you eyes, go to sleep
Little angel of mine
When you wake I'll be there
Little angel of mine.
I will watch over you
Little angel of mine.
''Night baby boy sweet dreams.'' Allie said as she kissed the sleeping child's head and placed him into his bed, she put his Mickey mouse beside him and turned his night light on before she left the room and went to bed.
