A/N I had this chapter written and ready to be posted on Saturday, I would have posted earlier but completely forgot about it. As I mentioned before I'm working on a new story, I almost have the first chapter done so hopefully I'll have it up soon.

Hunter had been sitting in his car for 15 minutes now he wanted to go in but he wasn't sure how she'd react. Yesterday didn't go very well then again it was past midnight. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel he decided to go in, he hoped she'd be in a better mood today it was his last chance if she shirked him today then that was it. He hoped they could have a talk, he managed to convince Joanie to stay out all day, well he ended up giving her $200 to spent on clothes, she was more than willing to go out once he showed her the green.

Hunter got out of his car it was freezing, yesterday was cold but today was even colder, he grabbed his leather jacket from the seat and slipped it on.

"Where do you think your going?" Shouted a man, Hunter turned around he froze when he realized who he was, it was Shawn.

"…….Shawn" Said Hunter he half smiled at him, fate was really testing his patience now.

"What are you doing Hunter?"

"I was just getting….something" Lied Hunter rather casually putting his hands in his pockets; he realized how lame that sounded afterwards Shawn obvious didn't buy it

"Don't lie to me"

"What makes you think I'm lying to you" Said Hunter

"I know Stephanie works here……you think you'll go in there and she'll forgive you Jesus Hunter"

"She has my kid" Mumbled Hunter

"Yeah the same kid you turned your back on" Shouted Shawn "Her family hates you they think you're a piece of trash"

"I don't care I can't not know my child"

"Maybe you should have thought about that a few years ago or maybe you should have learned to keep your hands to yourself"

"I'm sorry" Mumbled Hunter he was looking at the ground

"Your sorry……yeah and I'm sorry I let you near my wife"

"You're still together?" Asked Hunter he was trying his best not to lose his temper the last thing he needed was an argument with Shawn.

"No we split up a few years ago we still talk and keep in contact but nothing more" Sighed Shawn his voice was a lot softer now

"I never wanted this to happen you know, I acted like a total dick…..I want to make things right Shawn"

Shawn wanted to believe Hunter was being sincere but a little part of him was still in doubt, he had two sides to his personality a nice Guy and an arrogant prick. Shawn knew if Stephanie found out about them talking she'd more than have a cow, Hunter was still a sore subject amongst them despite being Father of her Baby she had told Shawn she never wanted to see Hunter again.

"You want to make things right but do you really think she'll trust you? You abandoned her with a child Hunter, that's not something you can just forget" Sighed Shawn "I mean you could still be the asshole…..and to be honest I wouldn't trust you either"

"Cameron come on I know you can do this" Encouraged Stephanie for the past 10 minutes she had been trying to get him to walk, she knew he could do it he was just being lazy today, perhaps picking that up from his Father. She was thinking about Hunter again, she really felt bad for snapping at him this morning he was being nice and she shot him down. Then again how many times had he treated her like shit, she had lost count the amount of times she'd been on the receiving end of one of his outbursts.

Stephanie helped Cameron stand up by holding onto his small hands, she slowly let go hoping he would walk a few steps instead he just sat down and smiled at her. She heard the doorbell ring she picked up Cameron and balanced him on her hip; she made the short trip to the front door.

"Dad what are you doing home and I thought you had your Key?"

"Well I thought I did but I think your Mother must have taken it, hey how's my Grandson" Smiled Vince

"He's fine what are all these people doing here" Asked Stephanie noticing the group of people making there way towards the front door

"Didn't your Mother tell you that I'm planning the fun day remember it's less than two weeks away"

"I must have forgotten" Smiled Stephanie

"If it's a problem I'm sure we can find somewhere else to do it"

"No Dad you don't have to besides Cameron will be having his nap soon"

Stephanie smiled and went back into the living room she picked up some of Cameron's toys and put them away, she watched as the group of people all sat round in the living room on the Sofa's. One particular lady approached Stephanie smiling.

"Reverend I never knew you had a Grandson?" Smiled the lady

"Yes" Said Vince sitting on the Sofa, it was Mrs. Jones she was always being nosy and was known to go out of her way to find out what everyone was doing. He was surprised she didn't know, or perhaps she was trying to get more information to gossip about. Vince just hoped she wouldn't ask about the Father, the last thing himself or Stephanie needed was to be caught in an awkward moment. Vince went through to the kitchen to get some drinks for everyone.

"Well I must say he's beautiful how old is he?" Asked Mrs. Jones

"Fourteen month's" Smiled Stephanie

"Is he walking yet?"

Stephanie wished she'd shut up what was this twenty questions, she would love to walk out right now, but her parents had always taught her how rude it was to do that. It was times like this that she wished Cameron would start crying at least she could leave without seeming rude, he wasn't though he was sucking his thumb and resting his head on her shoulder.

"Not yet but were getting there" Said Stephanie

"None of my children were still crawling at that age I had them walking just before they turned one, and my Grandchildren where the same, you know you must be strict with them or else they'll fall behind, you don't want your Son to be an underachiever" Stated Mrs. Jones

The bitch had some nerve saying that, who the hell was she to tell her how to raise her Son. Stephanie was ready to give Mrs. Jones a piece of her mind until Vince came back through into the living room he sensed the tension and gave her a look to let it go. Stephanie smiled and took Cameron upstairs it was time for his nap now, he was already falling asleep in her arms all she had to do now was place him in his crib without disturbing him too much.

Hunter was sitting in a restaurant for the past hour he had been having a long talk with Shawn, despite everything that had happened between them they seemed to be at peace. Shawn was a lot more relaxed with him now, throughout the hour they had been smoothing things over, Hunter had told Shawn how he was feeling deep inside, and how sorry he was about everything that happened. Shawn had accepted his apology and right now things where like old times again, though the past couldn't be erased they where trying there best to move on.

"So you have a girlfriend now" Said Shawn returning to the table

"Yeah"

"Does she know about Stephanie?" Asked Shawn talking a sip of beer

"I've not got round to telling her yet"

"She'll have to know Hunter you can't keep this a secret especially if you want to meet him" Said Shawn

"Him……..I have a Son?"

"Yeah Cameron he looks a lot like you Hunter" Smiled Shawn

Shawn saw the look of happiness on Hunter's face, despite hating Hunter for ruining his marriage he was willing to forgive him. Hunter wasn't the same man he was before he seemed to have grown up a lot well to Shawn at least, also Shawn knew the right thing to do was let Hunter meet his Son, Shawn however couldn't help but feel a little jealous, it was supposed to be him Fathering Stephanie's child.

"Anyway I best be off" Said Shawn standing up

"Wait….I am sorry for costing you your marriage, if I could have turned the clock back would've done" Admitted Hunter

"Yeah…..but that's all in the past now things happen for a reason……I'm sure it was for the best"

Shawn made his way to the door and left the restaurant; he zipped his jacket up and placed his hands in his pockets, he had forgiven Hunter something he thought he'd never do. Hunter had seemed so sincere he also had a look of regret in his eyes, it was obvious he wanted to meet his Son and make things right.

Hunter remained seated at the table he didn't expect to be on speaking terms with Shawn again, though it was nice to be able to talk to him losing Shawn as a friend killed him. Shawn was like a brother to him they had been so close until Shawn found out about the affair, he probably wouldn't see Shawn again though even if that was the last time they ever saw each other, he was glad that they cleared the air.
