The Second Chance

By: Kendall T.

Chapter 1

JR lay on the couch with Lil Adam on his stomach playing with his blocks and singing the alphabet. JR slowly drifted off…

JR stood in his tux next to Jamie and the priest as he watched the flower girl and all the bridesmaids walk by. And felt confusion as he saw Kendall walk by as a bridesmaid and not the bride.

Then "Here comes the bride started playing and he looked forward, and saw a woman walking down the aisle with a beautiful silk white dress, Boca, and a very white vale that covered her face.

When she got to the altor. The priest started the ceremony.

"JR Chandler do you take your bride" The priest said not revealing who was under the vail.

"I do." JR said in confusion.

" And do you take JR Chandler?" The pries said once again not revealing the bride.

"I do." The bride said confidently.

"By the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." The priest said slowly shutting The Bible.

JR slowly lifted the vale revealing the woman. JR was surprised and glad that the vale revealed Babe Carey Chandler as the bride and now his wife.

"JR, JR, JR, JR, JR, JR?" Babe said.

JR came out of dream mode to find Lil Adam still on his stomach and Babe shaking his arm saying "JR, JR" to wake him.

"What?" JR asked.

"You shouldn't just fall asleep with the baby on your lap he could fall and smash his head against the table." Babe said lifting the baby off of JR so he could sit up and sat him on her lap and started to play patty cake.

"What are you doing her the social worker isn't her yet." JR said and took their son back into his arms.

"Ok so I'm a little early. I rang the door bell and was surprised that Winifred didn't answer the door. I got worried that something might have happened to you or Lil A and were to busy to answer the door." Babe said standing up pouring a glass of wine.

"Me?" JR asked in astonishment.

"Well I'm sorry if I don't want you to get hurt when your alone with Lil A with no one to take care of our son." Babe said.

"I'm fine, Lil A's fine so you can go on home and come back next week if the social worker comes or is on time." JR said.

"Fine I'll go. Bi little man." Babe said as she kissed little Adam on the forehead. "Bi." Babe said to JR as she grabbed her purse and started to storm off.

"Babe wait, I guess you can wait a little longer." JR said trying to hide the fact that he really wanted her to stay since his dream was making him feel a little different.

"Thank you." Babe said smiling and went over and played with Lil A's feet not picking him up because she assumed that JR would just grab him back.

JR handed little Adam to Babe and they played hide and seek on the floor. JR just stared at his ex and son. Realizing how much he missed his old family only little Adam not Bess. Suddenly a rush of guilt went threw him over all the terrible things that had happened over the past few years. The baby drowning, him drugging Babe, ruining the relationship between Babe and Jamie which he now knows had real love not what he thought it was.

Babe looked up from her son and saw JR staring at her with the guilt in his eyes. "Are you ok?" Babe asked.

"What do you care?"

"I don't care. You just looked a little puzzled."

"I'm just still a little shocked by the accident the other week. But I'm fine."

"It wasn't your fault, JR. It could have happened to anyone. Our little boy is fine. Look at him he's happy because he's got his grandparents and he has his parents and is surrounded by people who love him. He doesn't even remember what happened he's just sitting there playing with his blocks singing the alphabet." She explained as she put her hand on his arm.

"Why do you always do that?"

"Do what."

"One minute your ready to tear my head off. The next your trying to convince me that it wasn't my fault that our son nearly died and acting like I haven't done a million things to hurt you and same with you and then stroking my arm like that is going to make everything go away," he said as he jerked his arm away from hers.

"We both almost lost the most important thing in our life a few weeks ago. And I'm sorry that I don't want every waking moment that you are with lil A to filled with guilt. Believe it or not I don't want you to hate me. I know you do but when you see Lil A your probably going to see me I cant help that and you cant help that. So I don't want you to be filled with hatred when ever your around our son," Babe said slightly angry. "O and another thing," she was interrupted with JR as he pushed the coffee table out of the way and cupped her face in his hands.

"Have anything else to say?" he said smiling.

"Not at all." She answered smiling back.

JR moved forward and pulled her into a kiss. They were both interrupted by lil Adam walking up and wrapped his arms around both of there legs. Babe bent down and picked him up.

"What was that for?" she asked.

"I just needed something to shut you up," he said smiling.

"O really," she said as she pulled him into another kiss.

"Don't fall for it Babe," Jamie said in the entryway of the living room.
