Wade's sitting in Lavon's kitchen, poking in his bowl of cereals.

"You okay?" Lavon asks. "Wade?" He waves a hand in front of Wade's eyes.

"W-what?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Zoe waltzs in with Oliver in his car seat. "Oh, he's just nervous because he's gonna meet Jesse."

"I see." Lavon says.

"No, I'm not nervous. It's just... I don't know." Wade removes the rest of his breakfast.

"Don't worry babe. You'll meet him at the Rammer Jammer, you'll talk and I'll come by with Oliver if it gets too awkward." Zoe reassures him.

"Mm-hmm. I'll see you later." Wade kisses Zoe and strokes Oliver's head as he says them goodbye.

"Good luck!" Lavon calls after him when Wade leaves the house.

The encounter with Jesse proceeds smoothly and better than expected. The two brothers have the long overdue conversation and speak out on everything that bothered them.

"I'm glad you came back." Wade says. "And that we can leave all that shit from the past behind."

"Yeah me too." He takes a sip of his drink. "So what's new? Except that you're married to one of the town's most attractive women and that you're a father?"

Wade just smiles when Zoe enters the bar.

"Hey guys, how are you?"

"All good." Jesse tells her.

"Yup. We finally talked." Zoe sits down and Wade puts his arm around the back of Zoe's chair.

"And how's the little one?" Jesse asks.

Zoe lifts Oliver out of the car seat. "Perfectly fine. Wade, could you hold him while I'll go to the bathroom?"

Wade kisses the baby's head while he rocks his son to sleep.

"It's going to be interesting to see Wade in daddy mode." Jesse chuckles.

"Oh you'll be surprised. He's amazing with Oliver." Zoe says smiling, gives Wade a peck and stands up to walk to the bathroom.

Wade's lying on his back as Zoe stirs. "Good morning."

"Morning." Zoe mumbles. She stretches and cuddles up to Wade. "Did Oliver sleep through the night for the first time?"

"It seems like." Wade takes Zoe's hand and kisses her knuckles.

"I'm gonna go and check on our little munchkin."

A while later she returns with Oliver and lays him down on the bed. Wade reappears out of the bathroom. Zoe and Wade rest on the bed with Oliver in the middle.

"I think I could get used to lying in bed with my two favorite people every Sunday." Zoe says.

While playing with one of Oliver's toys Wade states. "Yup, we're pretty awesome. You are one lucky lady."

Zoe smiles and leans over to kiss Wade. "Wanna get breakfast?"

"Yes, let's go over to Lavon."

They walk the short distance to the main house.

"Good morning Kinsella family." Lavon welcomes.

"Good morning Lavon." They answer simultaneously.

"Come to your godfather Oliver." Lavon says as he takes Oliver from Zoe's arms. "How are we doing today?"

Soon after there's a knock at the door and Jesse walks in. "Hi there. Do you guys already have plans for today? How about a fishing trip?"

Wade looks at Zoe. "Uh, I don't know."

"Yeah, you should do that." Zoe encourages him.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely. I'll text AB if she wants to take a walk with me and Oliver. Go, have fun!"

"Alright then I just have to get my stuff."

"Hey, how was fishing?" Zoe asks as Wade comes home in the evening.

"It was fun. I realized how I missed spending time with my brother."

"It's good that he's back."

Wade joins Zoe on the couch. "So what's the plan for tonight? Is Oli already upstairs?"

"Sound asleep."

"Really?" He starts kissing her and lowers himself down onto her.

Zoe begins to laugh. "You smell like fishing."

Wade stops and slumps down.

"Look, why don't you take a shower, we'll get you cleaned up and once you're clean, I'll join you and we'll get dirty again."

"Ooh! I think I've heard that before." He winks at her.

Earl rocks his grandson in his arms while Zoe and Wade are sitting oppositely on the couch smiling at the scene.

"What a proud granddaddy!" Mae notes.

Earl smirks. "He's so precious!"

"I'll finish preparing lunch." Mae goes to the kitchen.

"Let me help you." Zoe follows her.

Oliver begins to whine and Earl tries to calm him down. "Shh. What's wrong little man?"

"Hand him over to me." Jesse says.

But Oliver won't stop crying so Wade takes him. Jesse and Earl watch him captivated as Wade walks with his son around the living room, stroking his back soothingly until he composes himself. Wade sits back down on the couch and slowly Oliver falls asleep on Wade's chest. Wade runs his fingers gently up and down Oliver's back.

"I can't believe how much this little one has changed you." Jesse says.

"Not only Oliver. That's Zoe's credit as well." Earl complements. "Can't stop thanking the Lord for the day he brought the pretty doctor to town."

Wade doesn't even say a word, he just keeps smiling at his son.

"Lunch is ready." Mae announces.

After lunch the whole family is sitting at the table while Oliver is asleep in his stroller. Earl tells stories from Wade's and Jesse's childhood, causing everyone to laugh.

Suddenly Zoe's cell phone starts ringing. She accepts the call and returns a few minutes later with a worried expression on her face.

"Zo? Who was that on the phone?" Wade asks careful.

"That-that was a nurse from the New York hospital. My mother just had a car accident."

Wade quickly takes Zoe into his arms as she begins to sob.

The next morning Zoe paces the carriage house.

Wade witnesses while he baths Oliver. Unaware of his parents' sorrows the little boy moves his tiny arms up and down so the water splashes. "Try not to worry too much. The doctors said she's doing well under the circumstances. We'll figure something out."

"How are we gonna figure this out?" Zoe asks desperately. "She's all alone in New York. We don't have any relatives up there. It's no use, I guess I have to go to New York."

Wade sighs. He wraps Oliver in a towel and rubs him down, then he puts on a clean diaper and places him in the crib.

"I definitely have to go to New York." Zoe determines. " I can't take Oliver with me, the flying would be too stressful for him. At the same time I wanna take him with me because I can't imagine being separated from my baby. And I wanna take you with me." Zoe looks at Wade with sad eyes.

Wade gets up and walks over to Zoe. He holds her tightly, her head tilted under his chin.

"I'll go to New York on my own." Zoe takes a step back and looks into Wade's eyes. "You'll stay here with Oliver while I'll take care of my mom in New York."

"Okay." Wade tells her and places a gentle kiss on the top of her head as he holds her close.

The next day they are at the airport. Zoe holds Oliver in her arms. She doesn't like goodbyes. "Bye bye sweetie. Mommy is going to miss you so much! But I'll come back home as soon as possible." She puts Oliver in the stroller. "Goodbye Lavon."

Lavon hugs her. "Goodbye Big Z. Take care and come home soon."

Zoe nods as she takes a deep breath.

"I'll go back to the car with Oliver and give you two a minute."

"Thanks Lavon." Wade says. He has his hands stuck deep in his pockets. "So it's time to say goodybye, huh?"

Zoe wraps her arms around Wade's neck and kisses him. "I don't wanna leave." She sighs.

"I know." Wade kisses her again. "You go to New York and before you even realize you'll already be on your way home." He takes her face in his hands and wipes away the tears with his thumbs. "Now go before I won't let you."

Zoe smiles halfheartedly and kisses him one last time. This time longer. "Bye." She sobs before she turns around and walks away.
