Chapter 10:

"Shh" she shushed him as he walked through the front door. She had been sitting on the couch just watching Kyle breathe it relaxed her to see the little boy so at peace.

He quietly, gently shut the door behind him trying not to rustle the grocery bag in his hand to much. He quietly made his way around to the couch to where she was sitting with his son. Holding the back of his sons head he place a soft kiss on his forehead.

"Why don't you put him to bed and I'll get the ice cream ready." she offered as she carefully handed over the baby to his father and took the bag of ice cream from his hand.

He carefully padded his way to his son's room. He carefully flipped on the night light and then gently laid Kyle down in the crib. He sighed as he looked down at his baby. It was hitting him more and more everyday, he was a father, he had helped create a little life. He didn't think it would ever fully hit him. As he ran a hand over his soft head, leaning on the side of the crib, his head resting on his arm, he couldn't help but smile. Right in front of him was this little person who would forever love him unconditionally even when no one else would.

He couldn't believe how much he loved him. It was unbelievable to him. Kyle made him happier than he ever could remember being in his entire life. Sure he didn't happen to come at the most conventional time but he honestly couldn't fathom not having him, now. Any insecurities he had or any doubts he had ever held washed away every time he looked at his son.

God he couldn't believe this was really his son, his own flesh and blood. Sure he had always pictured himself one day in the future with a nice wife and a couple of kids in a big white house with a white picket fence on Main street but to actually have it...it was an incredible feeling.

"God I love you so much" he sighed as he placed his hand on his sons stomach feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing. "You know I'm trying here, and I'm determined to give you the best life you can have" he whispered forcefully, he felt as if he owed some sort of an explanation to his son. "Look I know, I know you didn't ask to come into this world in a broken home to unwed parents and a mother who left, god you deserve so much more than that! And Courtney and I...we're gonna do are best to...I'm going to make sure you're the happiest little boy in the world."

She stood in the doorway a bowl of ice cream in each hand listening to is confessions to his son. It really made her smile, he was a great father and she couldn't wait to see him with Kyle as Kyle grew up. "He already is" she smiled making her presence known.

He smiled taking a bowl from her left hand. "I just...I wanted him to know that I want the world for him I really do" he explained.

She nodded running a hand up and down his back. "He knows Jase... every time you tell him you love him or change his diaper," he chuckled "everything you do for him even the little things show him just how much you love him and he will never doubt that!" she reassured him.

He nodded as he kissed Kyle's forehead and they both said goodnight to him before retreating into the livingroom. "So ugh what the heck do you do all day that makes him so tired?" he teased as they sat on the couch.

She smiled. "Oh you know a little of this a little of that."

"Better not be to much of this or that remember he's only 3 weeks old!" he laughed as she scoffed.

"Alright you know, you are about this far away from getting smacked!" she glared at him holding two fingers up roughly an inch apart from each other.

"MJ" he said under his breathe as she smacked him upside his head. He laughed. "I'm sorry I'll stop." he smiled as she grinned triumphantly.

"Thank You" she smiled sweetly.

"Um Court, when's the last time you went to class?" he asked focusing his eyes on his ice cream bowl.

"What? Where'd that come from?" she asked looking at him curiously.

"I'm serious Courtney, you haven't been attending your classes because you've been taking care of Kyle for me haven't you?" he questioned now looking straight at her.

She quickly looked away when he caught her gaze. "Look Jason, I'm considering starting online classes..."

"Dammit Courtney!" he cursed putting his ice cream on the coffee table. "I told you that I wasn't going to allow you to give up your life to help me! You don't need to feel obligated!" he hissed. He hated himself for making her think that he had no other option, that she was forced to stay and help him with his child 24/7!

"Jason I'm not obligated to you and I don't feel that way!" she defended putting her ice cream down as well.

"Your not doing this Courtney!"

"Excuse me! I'm not doing what?" she scoffed she didn't like any one telling her what she could and couldn't do!

"I'm not letting you quit school..." he started getting up and running his hands through his hair, he was extremely frustrated.

"I'm not" she interrupted but he didn't even acknowledge the intrusion.

"...to help me with Kyle your not throwing your education out the window for me..." he sighed turning to look at her. "Courtney I can't, I don't need to be the reason you ruin your life!"

She sighed. "I'm not quitting school Jason!" she maintained as she put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm just putting it on hold and taking online courses...no!" she said quickly when he started to say something. "I..this is my choice! I'm going to take online courses, and I'm going to continue to keep Kyle for you and I promise you, I promise you that I am not, NOT, going to quit school, but I'm also not just gonna stop being there for you and Kyle!"

He sighed. "I just want you to understand that, that ultimately Kyle is MY son, and MY responsibility. I don't want you to feel like you have to help me if you don't want to and I especially don't want you to have to pick up any of the burden here, I had Kyle and as much as I love him there are some consequences of having a child right now that I have to face and I don't want you to feel the need to take or feel any of those!"

She nodded. "You're a wonderful father you know that?"

"And someday you and I will be able to exchange stories cause your gonna make somebody, a beautiful wife and an amazing mother!" he smiled as she blushed.

"You deserve so much more than Aradia!" she said caught up in their little moment. She watched as he backed away from her. "Shit" she cursed under her breathe. "I'm sorry Jase I know she's still a sore spot."

He shook his head. "No it's alright, I'm over it" he nodded trying to convince himself more than her.

"You don't sound so sure of yourself" she commented.

His jaw locked as he played with his hands. "I, I don't know I mean...it's Kyle...he's the only reason that I have to really hate her at this point." he took a deep breathe trying to keep his emotions at bay as he sat back on the couch. "I just hate that she could just leave Kyle especially without any consideration, I mean we planned for 9 months for him. How could she just forget everything, the first time he kicked, and all of those little moments! I just I can't accept what she's done and I just think that Kyle isn't going to have a mother."

"But does he really need a mother who was capable of leaving him without a second thought? Isn't it better she left now than 3 years from now when he was attached?" she asked as she put her arm around his shoulders. "Your both better off!"

He nodded. "Yea, I guess your right" he chuckled. "Besides Kyle has you...what more can he ask for?"

She laughed. "Now that's the spirit!"

"Your wonderful Court!" he said as he pulled her into a hug.

She squeezed him as tight as she could knowing she could give herself a Hernia and it would still feel like nothing to him! "So are you Jase! The best, best friend I have"

"Better be the only one you have" he teased.

"Yes father!" she laughed as they picked up their ice creams and began munching down on light conversation.
