Hunter groaned hearing the alarm clock go off he slowly got out of bed turning it off, he sat up putting his feet on the floor it was 9am in the morning. He wanted to make sure he arrived in New York in plenty of time, today was a big day for him he was meeting his son properly for the first time.

"Baby what are you doing?" Asked Joanie stirring in her sleep

"I'm going to New York to meet up with Shawn"

Hunter rubbed his eyes getting off the bed, he hated lying to her but he had no other choice. He was dreading telling Joanie the truth it would kill her to know that he had been lying about this, she had told him she wanted to start a family somehow he didn't see that happening, as soon as he told her about Cameron and Stephanie things would change perhaps even they'd break up. Hunter shook those thoughts out of his head he couldn't be thinking like that, he had to see how things went today before he starting thinking about the future. He made his way through to the bathroom for a shower.

"Did you have to leave so early" Mumbled Joanie pulling the covers over her head

"I'm sorry babe but I promised I'd meet Shawn" Shouted Hunter from the bathroom he threw a black shirt on along with a pair of blue jeans "I'll be back later ok"

Hunter pulled the covers away giving her a quick peck on the cheek, he grabbed his jacket and the car keys before making his way to the car.

Hunter had finally arrived at the address Stephanie had provided for him, he was a little nervous mainly because he was meeting his son, not to mention he was worried in case Stephanie decided to change her mind it would kill him if she did. He switched the engine off before getting out of the car he looked once more at the piece of paper with the address on. He shut the car door and made his way up the path to the small building he assumed she had lived in an apartment, by the address she had given him.

Hunter opened the door and went inside he got the elevator up to the second floor the building only had two floors in it. Once the elevator opened he began looking for the door number she lived in, it was right at the end as he stood outside. He knocked on the door waiting for an answer.

"Hunter hi come in" Smiled Stephanie holding the door open for him, he smiled back going into the apartment his face dropped when he saw another man holding his son. The man looked oddly familiar he was pretty sure he'd seen him before.

"Steph do you want me to feed him before I go to work" Smiled Steven balancing Cameron on his hip, sensing a bit of hostility she decided it would be better to do it herself.

"That's fine you get to work I can take care of things" Smiled Stephanie

"Ok well I'll be back at around about eight, later Steph oh and nice meeting you Hunter" Said Steven passing Cameron over to Stephanie

Hunter waited for him to leave before he spoke he wondered who the hell that guy was, though whoever he was he knew his name.

"Who was that?" Hunter asked taking his shades off

"That was Steven he lives here"

"I see……..can I hold him" Asked Hunter

"Sure" Smiled Stephanie she passed him to Hunter who sat him on his lap, Cameron looked so much like his father, she just hoped things worked out and Hunter was serious when he said he'd be there for his son.

"I'm just going to heat his dinner up" Smiled Stephanie

"Ok" Hunter grabbed one of Cameron's toys and passed it to him, the connection was there between them, usually Cameron didn't like her leaving the room however he was fine with Hunter, almost as if he knew he was with his father. Stephanie didn't want to get ahead of herself they needed to take things slow right now, there was a lot of history between them something they couldn't just get over.

Stephanie heated up the soup she grabbed two slices of bread and waited for the soup to heat up. Once it was done she tore up the bread and put it inside the bowl along with the soup, she grabbed a spoon from the drawer and headed back inside the living room.

"How has he been?" Asked Stephanie grabbing a bib on her way

"Fine" Smiled Hunter

"After he's had his dinner he usually has a sleep"

"Cool" Smiled Hunter

There was an awkward silence neither knew what to say to each other, even when they where living together for the most part they where at each others throats, or jumping in bed together. Stephanie pushed that thought out of her mind she had to stop thinking about him like that. Though she couldn't deny the moment he walked in here she hadn't wanted to rip his clothes off, he was gorgeous today his hair was tied back and he was wearing tight blue jeans with a tight black shirt. Why couldn't he have treated her better before, then again they weren't exactly dating and she was married at the time, but still he left her with a child, their child.

"Steph" Said Hunter putting his hand in front of her face she hadn't realized she'd phased out "You went in your own little world there"

He was smiling at her god he was gorgeous really she was screwed, she wanted to believe it was because she hadn't been with anyone for a while but deep down it was something more, she wanted him

"Oh I was just thinking about something" Said Stephanie she grabbed the bowl of soup mixing the bread in

"What" Asked Hunter

"I was just thinking that Cameron will be walking soon" Lied Stephanie he nodded standing Cameron up, he was a bit shaky however managed to stand with the support of Hunter holding him up.

Stephanie checked the temperature it was cool enough, she passed the bib to Hunter motioning him to put it on Cameron, she placed him on her lap since it was soup she would have to feed him. Steven would have a cow if the carpet got dirty, she found that amusing he was obsessed with dirt even the little bit was a problem for him.

"Do you need a hand" Asked Hunter she had to admit it was a bit awkward trying to feed him while he was on her lap, she nodded passing him the bowl.

After fifteen minutes Cameron was finally cleaned up and ready for his late afternoon nap, she placed him in his crib he was pretty tired today and no soon after she'd put him down he was gone.

Stephanie made her way back into the living room Hunter was sitting there with his hands on his thighs, she took a deep breath before joining him, she was going to be alone with him for a couple of hours, she wasn't really sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"I want to do this again" Admitted Hunter "I want to actually get to know him"

"I think he'd like that"

"Well he is my son and although I haven't been there for him at all I want to change that, I don't want him growing up wondering who his father is, I lost my dad when I was fifteen" Admitted Hunter

Stephanie had never heard about this she was shocked to say the least, he'd never mentioned this before she wondered if Shawn knew about this he must have done.

"I'm so sorry"

"Don't be it was a long time ago I've moved on" Said Hunter dismissing her comment "Anyway I should probably go"

"You don't have to" Stated Stephanie

"It will take me a few hours to get home with the traffic and everything, maybe I could come again next week"

"Of course"

"Thanks again for this" Smiled Hunter he learned in for her cheek however she moved so there lips brushed against each other, he made no effort to move instead pulling her closer to his hard body. His lips soon left her going straight for her neck he tasted her perfume, he guided her to the wall lifting her leg up, his hand crept up her leg touching the bare skin. She tugged his shirt out from his jeans attempting to take it off, he stopped her pulling away she looked confused he couldn't does this yet at least until he'd talked to her.

"I think it would be best not to do this right now" Sighed Hunter looking down he could see the look of disappointment in her eyes, she agreed despite wanting him he was right they couldn't rush into things. She had to stop doing this it wasn't good for either of them, it was a bad idea for things too go to fast between them especially with there history.

"Anyway I'll see you again next Sunday" Said Hunter

"Of course see you next week" Smiled Stephanie

Hunter left the apartment he looked back one last time before heading down the stairs, there was something he had to do now and it would be one of the hardest things he'd ever have to do.
