Charlie sat there in shock. Thomas wanted to met Charlie and told him to have Jacob with him. He knew it was THE infamous Thomas. The one Claire had always spoke of. The one who walked on his beloved Claire. He felt red hot rage growing inside of him. He didn't want to meet Thomas at 4:00. He looked at the digital clock beside the bed. It read 3:28. He sighed and turned his attention to Jacob. He was peacefully sleeping. Charlie didn't want to wake him but he had to.

"Hey Jakie you have to get up," he whispered to the four year old sleeping on the bed.

Jacob moaned and turned to his side putting his thumb in his mouth. For the first time Charlie smiled. The only thing holding him together was Jacob and if he lost him, he didn't know what he would do. Thinking of him having to give up Jacob for Thomas made him sick to his stomach. He looked at the boy with the thick curly blonde hair. He smiled again and lifted his son into his arms. He opened the door and walked down the hall. He remembered Thomas telling him to meet him at the corner of Dollis and Moore Street. He asked the front desk for directions and they cheerily answered him. Charlie nodded and gave his thanks and walked out the door, still with sleepy Jacob resting on his shoulder.

Shannon saw Charlie walking out with Jacob. She had Jillian in her arms. She walked up to him.

"Hey Charlie where are you off to," she asked.

"I'm just meeting someone,"Charlie said with a weak and unconvincing smile.

Shannon nodded and watched Charlie wave down a taxi and climb inside.

Charlie felt his heart beating faster and faster as he got closer to his destination. Charlie sighed. He looked over to see Jacob's big blue eyes staring up at him. Charlie smiled at Jacob.

"What's wrong daddy," Jacob said yawning.

"It's nothing were just going to meet and friend of daddy's," Charlie said comforting Jacob but was discussed how he said Thomas was his friend. He was anything but. Charlie patted Jacob's curly, blonde, mop.

Jacob smiled. "Daddy, where's mommy," Jacob asked.

The question hit Charlie like a brick wall. He hadn't prepared himself for what he was going to tell Jacob about Claire. Charlie felt at a loss for words. He felt tears building in his eyes as he looked in the little boys eyes. He turned away and wiped the tears off and turned back to Jacob.

"Mommy has gone on to a better place," Charlie said trying to smile.

"Where," Jacob asked?

"With god in heaven," Charlie whispered.

Jacob didn't seem to understand. Jacob didn't say anymore but Charlie could tell that he didn't know what that meant. He didn't know that he would never see his mother again. The cab came to an abrupt halt.

"This is," the taxi driver said.

Charlie handed the driver a 20 in Australian money and stepped out of the car. He helped Jacob out of the car and sat on a bench at the corner. Thomas wasn't there yet.

"Are you Charles Pace," a voice said from behind him.

Charlie turned to see a small man with brown hair standing there. Charlie got his feet and nodded. Charlie held out his hand to shake with Thomas but Thomas just stared at his hand and continued speaking.

"Is this my son," Thomas asked?

"Actually he is Claire's and my own son," Charlie said glaring at Thomas.

Thomas smirked. "You haven't told him."

"He is a little to young to understand," Charlie growled.

Thomas grin only grew wider. "I'll give it to you plain and simple. You can hand the boy over to me or I'll see you in court," Thomas explained.

Charlie was shocked. "Excuse me but you left Claire and Jacob. I raised Jacob with Claire and I loved her. I think you should bugger off," Charlie yelled.

"He's my son. And I loved Claire too. I loved her more then you ever could. And I have straitened out I can raise the boy on my own," Thomas argued back.

"I raised him and I'm his father. I loved Claire more then you could and she loved me more then she ever loved you. And by the way his name is Jacob," Charlie said taking Jacob by the hand and turning away, beginning to walk away.

"Don't you walk away from me you fucking druggie," Thomas screamed.

Charlie stopped dead in his tracks. He turned around. "What did you call me," He said angrily.

"You heard what I called you," Thomas grinned.

Thomas reminded him terribly of Ethan. He wanted to sock him but realized that would be uncivilized and didn't want to do it in front of Jacob.

"Your wrong," Charlie said. "Your a bastard who walks out on his pregnant girlfriend and blames her for getting pregnant on purpose."

Thomas lifted his arm and punched Charlie in the face. Jacob began to cry. Charlie looked up angrily, blood coming from his lip. He punched Thomas back. Soon they were fighting, rolling on the ground trying to beat the shit out of each other.

"Hey you tow brake it up," a man ran over and separated them.

Thomas tried to get back to Charlie so he could continue to beat him. Charlie just to Jacob by the hand wand walked away.

"I'll see you in court," Thomas screamed to Charlie's back.

Charlie waved down another cab and made his way back to the hotel. When he walked inside several people stopped what they were doing. he was bruised and bloody. Jack ran over to him.

"Charlie man, what happened," Jack asked.

"I'm fine Jack," Charlie said impatiently trying to get back to his room.

"Charlie just tell me what happened," Jack said desperately.

"I'll tell you later," Charlie said pushing past Jack.

Charlie stomped up the stairs with Jacob tagging along behind him. Charlie opened to door to his room and he and Jacob made their way inside.

"I'm sorry you had to see that Jakie," Charlie said to Jacob.

Jacob nodded with wide eyes.

"Why don't you go visit your Aunt Rose I'm sure she would love to see you," Charlie said.

Jacob nodded again.

"I know my way there daddy, I'm a big boy," Jacob said making his way out the door, smiling and happy thinking that he could do something on his own.

Charlie watched as Jacob reached up and closed the door behind him and went into the bathroom. What he saw in the mirror was a monster. He was bruised and bloodied everywhere. He sighed and put his head in his hands in front of the mirror. he stood there looking at himself. He suddenly grew angry and he sent his fist flying into the mirror. He watched as his blood ran down the shattered mirror. he took his fist from the mirror and sat on the toilet seat. Blood from his hand was dripping everywhere and there was glass scattered all over the floor. he put his face in his hands and began to cry.
