Jamie and Landon left the courthouse and went back to her place.

" I'm so glad that's over with." Landon said as they walk into the living room and sit on the sofa.

" Now we can be together in public, I'm not your lawyer anymore." Jamie pointed out.

" Yup." Landon said as he leans in and kisses her passionately on the lips. " I love you taste." He whispers as their faces still touch.

" There's something I have to tell you." Jamie said as she pulls away from him.

" What's going on?" Landon asked as his cell phone rings. " I have to get this." He told Jamie. She gives him a nod to go ahead.

" Hello? Yeah…hold on." Landon told the person on the other line. " I'll just be a minute." Landon said as he kisses Jamie and walks outside to the hallway, to talk in private.

Jamie began to pace the living room, she nervous to tell Landon, she's leaving town for 4 days with Josh. She's never told him her and Josh use to date.

" What am I going to do?" She asked over and over again. A couple of minutes later, Landon walks back in.

" We need to talk." Landon said as they sit back on the sofa.

" Ok, what's going on?" Jamie asked because of the seriousness in his voice.

" That was my mom on the phone. She's not doing to well, she'll be okay but the doctor said she needs a lot of rest. She can't do that with a 4year old running around." Landon explained with his heart in his throat.

" I don't get it. What do you mean?" Jamie asked, trying to figure out what he meant by 4 year old.

" There's something you don't know about me and I'm scared of how your going to react when I tell you." Landon said as he looks at her.

" Landon just tell me, what ever it is." Jamie said as she grabs his hand.

"When I was 23 in college, I began dating this girl. A month later she was pregnant, she never wanted kids and wanted nothing to do with the one inside of her but could go through with an abortion and I didn't want her to. So we made a deal, she'd carry the baby to term and I'd rise her and that's what we did." Landon explained as he saw the look of shock across Jamie's face, but he hand to continue.

" I have a 4 year old girl named Alison. For the last 6 months she's been living with my mom. Things got were too much here, so she went to stay with my mom till I made things better here. In another month or two, she was gonna come live with me again but it can't be another month, it has to be now." Landon explained.

Jamie is shocked, she doesn't know what to say.

Alison has lived with Landon since she was born but 6 moths ago, a lot of the staff at the hospital was let go and Landon had to take on extra hours, he would never be home.

So Landon and his mother decided Alison should go live with her till Landon is able to care for her. He's moved into a bigger place and isn't working as much, but he still isn't ready to have Alison to him self, her room is barely done, but that doesn't matter now.

" So you have to go get her because you mom is sick. shouldn't you be going." Jamie finally said.

" I don't want to leave like this, tell me what your feeling." Landon said.

" Why didn't you tell me?" Jamie asked as she stands from her seat. She's so mad he lied to her.

" I'm telling you now." Landon said as he stood in front of her.

" If your mom hadn't gotten sick and called, would you have told me?" Jamie asked.

" Yes, when the timing was right." Landon honesty said. " I have to get going. Can we talk about this when I get back?" Landon asked as she turned away from him.

" I'm leaving town tonight." Jamie said as she turns back around and looks him straight in the eye.

" Where are you going?" Landon asked. Guessing this is what she had to tell him.

" I'm going on a business trip with Josh."
