Sally wasn't sure what to do about JR's offer. She hasn't told him about Babe Carey. Next to JR Babe was her best friend. Babe knew she was seeing JR and many times tried to convince her to stay away.
" Sally," JR said, " I do trust you and AJ likes you. Just as much as I do."
Sally just smiled and JR just kissed her.
" I'll take AJ to the park," Sally said, " I'll take good care of him. I promise. Afterall it's Saturday. I don't have anything else planned. Good luck with your meeting."
JR just hugged her and then left for his meeting. Sally sighed and the maid just got the child ready for his outing.
A little while later, Sally was in the park with AJ when Babe walked up.
" Hey," Babe said, " How's it going?"
" Babe," Sally said, " I'm fine. How are you?"
" Great now that I see this little guy," Babe said.
" Ma," AJ said.
" How's mama's little man?" Babe asked holding the tyke's hand.
" I don't think JR would like you touching his son," Sally said, " I don't mean to sound rude."
Babe then just looked at her son and then Sally. JR hasn't told her yet.
" JR hasn't told you yet," Babe said.
Sally got a confused look on her face," Told me what?", she asked.
" About this child's mother," Babe answered.
" JR told me his mother left town," Sally said.
Babe just shook her head, " That's JR for you," Babe said, " He's my son too. I'm his mother."
Sally was shocked by those words, but believed what Babe just said.
" I believe you," Sally said, " Look at him with you."
Babe just sat the tyke in her lap, " I love Little A as much as JR does," she said, " He's trying to take him away from me."
Sally felt like she was going to cry, that was not the JR Chandler she has grown to know.
" I see that," Sally said sounding hurt, " He's a great kid. I sort of love him too."
Babe just let go of AJ and gave him back to Sally. Sally felt angry and sad at the same time. She was close to JR and felt closer to him each day. Sally was also close to Babe and AJ too. Sally sighed, now she felt all that was about to fall apart.
" I'm sorry Sally," Babe said.
" I'm sorry too," Sally said, " But I have to take AJ back home. As much as I know you love him."
" Yeah I do," Babe said, " JR does have full custody. I have one hour a week."
" If he finds out you saw him," Sally said, " My guess is he'll be mad."
Babe just quickly kissed her son and just watched as Sally went away with her son. Babe was hurt and now Sally was hurting, she now knew the truth of how harsh JR Chandler can be.
" Sally is in love with him," Babe thought, " In the end she may end up with a broken heart like me."
