Chapter Fourteen

A truth revealed

JR Chandler was enjoying himself as he mingled with his sisters family to be and her friends. He had even spoken to Lu and Georgie, and told them what not to do. Both girls promised to take his advice to heart. For the first time in weeks, his mind was not on the fact that his child was with his stepbrother and his ex-wife.

Skye looked over at her younger brother, sighing as she noticed the frown that marred the fact that had just been so happy. She knew what he was thinking about and she felt that it was time he learned the truth.

Skye crossed the room and approached JR. "JR, can I talk to you in private for a moment?"

"Sure," JR said and Skye pulled him out of the room and down the hall to her and Luke's old stateroom.

Skye sighed. As they entered the room, she pointed to a chair. "Sit down," she commanded.

JR sat down and Skye began to pace. She gathered her thoughts and began, "JR, what I have to tell you will be devastating, but you need to know the truth."

"What is it, Skye?" JR asked.

She sighed and quickly said, "That little boy is not yours. It's Jamie's son."
"And how do you know that? And how can you say that when even David's test said that I am the father?" JR asked.

"David's test used the samples taken from the original test, JR. That test was fixed by Paul Cramer to show that you were the father. Luke and I took a trip up to Canada and went to the lab where the test was done and compared those results that they had with the results of David's test and we could tell that there was something wrong, because the real results of the first test said that Jamie was the baby's father."

"And Babe had Paul fix them or else she would ruin his chances of inheriting his great-aunt's money by revealing that they were still married," came Luke's voice from the doorway.

JR looked at both of them incredulously. "How can you say this to me? That is my son! You don't have proof of what you say!"

Skye moved over to the dresser and picked up the envelope that was sitting there. She handed the envelope to JR. "Here is all the proof we need. The test they had on file at the lab where the test was done. There is no doubt about it. That baby boy is your nephew, not your son. Jamie is his father, not you."

JR stared at her for a second before he pulled out the papers in the envelope and looked over the true results of the original paternity tests. There was the truth, staring him in the face. The true results of the very first paternity test, proving that the baby boy that Babe had given birth to, the baby boy that Paul Cramer had stolen, was his nephew. Jamie was his father.

JR bowed his head in devastation. Tears of sadness began to fall from his eyes. He rose his head and looked at his sister. "Why did baby want to lie to me? Why?"

"She loved you and didn't want to lose you. And when you found out about her sleeping with Jamie, you started to act just like Adam. She wanted you to act like the man she fell in love with. You reverted back to the loving man when you found out the baby was yours. Then you changed again when you found out that you were not legally married to her and you truly became like Adam. Dixie would be so disappointed in you. She didn't want you to turn out like Adam and here you are, just like him," Skye said.

"I know. He's been the one who has been there for me for the past few years," JR said.

"But so has Tad. And yet, you do not seem anything like him. He was a role model of yours for years. And how about your family in Pigeon Hollow? They had an influence on your life as well, but it doesn't seem as if they had any effect on you," Skye said.

JR sighed. "You are right. I guess I should've gone to Tad for advice rather than going to dad," he said as he rose from the chair and sighed.

"Very true. Tad should've been the person you went to for advice rather than Adam. He would've told you that people make mistakes. But true love can move past the mistakes. JR, if you truly loved Babe, you would've gotten past the mistakes that Babe made. But the way you went after her proved that it wasn't true love, as it seems to be for Babe and Jamie," Skye said.

"Do you think what Skye is telling JR will finally get through to him?" Theresa asked.

"I hope so. Babe and Jamie have been through enough," Mary said with a sigh.

"I still can't believe that JR did all that to your cousin," Emily said.

"I believe it. JR Chandler has been a literal clone of his old man for a long time now, I was just waiting for it to come out," Nikolas said.

"No kidding. If Dixie saw him now, she would be so disappointed in him," Lucky said.

A moment later, they all watched as JR, Skye and Luke came back into the ballroom. Skye and Luke had smiles on their faces, while JR looked shattered.

Mary smiled. "She got through to him by the way he looks."

"Good. Now Adam needs a reality check, but the one person who should is in the ground," Nikolas said.

They all nodded as they knew the one person who could get through to Adam was Dixie, but she was gone forever.

Later that night, JR sat on the bed in the hotel room he had insisted on getting at the Marquis hotel near the airport. The Marquis was the best hotel in PC after the PC hotel burned to the ground.

JR sighed as he thought about what Skye had told him. He realized just how right she was about who he should've gone to for advice and how he should never have tried to get Babe out of his life. He should've gone to Tad for advice, not Adam. He shouldn't have had the opportunity to become his father. Skye was right. Dixie would be so disappointed in him.

Then he thought about the young woman he had danced with several times. Elizabeth. She had enchanted him with stories of being a single mother to her son Cameron for much of the night after Skye had talked to him.

JR made a decision at that moment. His father could go back to Pine Valley and be the almighty Adam Chandler. But he would be going back alone. JR would be staying in PC and would be starting a new life, away from his father. A new life, possibly with the young single mother that had enchanted him.
