A/N: In case any of you were confused about that one part of chapter 2, I'll explain.
I know it said that life was buzzing in the airport in NYC, and then suddenly Jimmy was in Washington D.C. But that's not how it was.
Life was buzzing in NYC, which is where Jimmy was before he left in his private jet. And then there was the detour in Washington D.C.
You guys get it? No? Well, I can't explain things well.. So ON WITH THE STORY!
Chapter 3
A beautiful green-eyed, blond woman watched her son play in the sand of the playground before looking around.
She glanced at a man watching her. He looked oddly familiar to her. And those eyes...
'Jimmy? Is that him?'
Cindy looked at her son, then back at where the man had stood.
He was gone.
"Ahh... It was probably just a man taking a walk..."
'In a suit? How many people wear suits to take walks in the park? And Jimmy's a new billionaire and stuff--'
She shook her head to clear her thoughts.
"Johnathon! Come here! It's time to go home!" yelled Cindy at her small toddler son.
He waddled over to her.
"Mama... Look."
He pushed his pudgy hand into hers. Cindy looked closely at the object in her hand.
"Oh, no... Don't pick up anymore of these, all right?"
It was a cigarette butt.
"Ok."
Cindy smiled at her blond, blue eyed boy.
'His face looks just like Jimmy's...'
"All right, let's wash your hand at the water fountain then go home and make some cookies."
The little baby smiled before toddling off towards the water fountain. Cindy sighed before following.
"I miss you so much..."
Cindy smiled at her son as they walked home at a leisurely pace.
"Mama?"
She looked down at the little boy.
"Yes?"
"I saw 'dis man, he look like man in pictures."
Cindy's mind froze before she replied calmly.
"It was no one, honey."
Johnathon nodded and looked forward.
'What if it really WAS Jimmy?'
Cindy shook her head again, just like she had done in the park.
They had arrived at the house.
"Okay, now go in and ask Grandma for some cookies."
She pushed the door open and stepped in.
There was a man in the living room. He turned around and smiled at her, a glint returning to his eyes.
"Hey, Cin'. It's me. It's Jimmy."
Cindy gaped at him, not knowing whether to get mad, or to get relieved.
"Wha-What are you doing here?"
"I've come to see my child! And to ask you to take me back of course."
'How did he manage to be so...calm?'
Cindy continued stuttering.
"B-But... I thought---You said..What?"
Jimmy approached her, but she shyed away.
His smiled disappeared.
"What, are you afraid of me now?"
She shook her head and sat down on the couch.
"How did you get in anyway?"
"Your mother."
"Why would she let you in?"
"Arguing with her for 15 minutes kinda helps, doesn't it?"
"I..I guess," whispered Cindy.
"Look. Cindy. I know it was all shocking and stuff, but is it that hard to take me back?"
Cindy looked up at him.
"No."
"Come on, I know it's been two years and all, but please. Please. Take me back."
"I don't know if I can."
"I don't know if Libby explained it all or anything, but Cindy. You have to take me back."
"She did."
"I love you, Cindy. I always have."
"I know."
"Please, give me another chance."
"I will."
"Please, I think I've suffered--What?"
"I said, I'll give you another chance."
Jimmy grinnned for the first time in two years.
"Really?"
Cindy nodded.
"You wanted it, didn't you?"
"Yeah.. But I didn't think you'd really... This easily?"
"Yup. Why not? But just so you know, I'm not gonna welcome you with open arms. You're going to have to take me out to dinner."
"Okay. But can I see... My child?"
"Uhh... I think we'll keep that a surprise for later."
Jimmy's grin widened.
"All right. What time should I pick you up for dinner?"
"Eight. Be punctual."
Cindy stood up and approached the front door.
"Now, leave please."
Jimmy shrugged, but obliged.
"Well. It's really good to see you again," said Jimmy.
Cindy nodded.
"I'll see you later"
"Okay."
"All right."
"Mm-Hmm."
"Yup."
'Awkwarddddddd.' thought Jimmy.
'Why doesn't he leave yet? Awkwardddddd.' thought Cindy.
She waved before he walked away.
"I hope he doesn't take me somewhere stupid."
