I walk over to Ethan's truck to grab Will. Ethan looks like he is about to lose all of his self-control. I hear my name being shouted over and over again from the back seat.

"My sweet boy! Have you grown since Friday?" I ask while peppering his face with kisses. "Guess who is here? Auntie Katie!" I tell the little boy in my arms. I leave Ethan to grab Will's bag and head over to Kate who is standing with Christian and Elliot on my porch. Kate grabs my munchkin from me.

"Tatie! Mama, wook its Tatie!" I giggle at the excited 3 year old. Kate is giving my sweet boy kisses and I can hear Ethan step on the porch. I turn around to see him right in front of me and he wraps me up in a hug. I quickly unwrap myself from his arms. Did he just try to mark his territory? What was that? I turn around to see Christian staring daggers at Ethan and the air around us all suddenly tenses. I quickly think of a way to break it.

"Will, I want you and your daddy to meet Mama's friends. Is that okay?" I hope using the word friends did not go unnoticed by both grown men that are staring at me. Christian looks slightly confused by the word while Ethan looks rigid. "Will and Ethan, this is Christian and his brother Elliot. Christian and Elliot, this is my sweet baby boy Will and Kate's brother Ethan."

"Hey Will, it is so nice to finally meet you. Your mommy has told me so much about you." Christian says in his charming voice. My 3 year old does not disappoint and shakes Christian's hand. This causes everyone to giggle except Ethan. Will hangs on Christian's leg while Elliot introduces himself. Elliot then stands up to shake Ethan's hand and Christian follows. Christian looks like a child who doesn't want to meet his grandma's friends. The interaction between the two is nothing short of a pissing contest. I can see the veins on Ethan's arm as he grips Christian's hand. Neither of them exchange words. Both of their chests are puffed out and they are standing tall. They back away from each other and I notice Christian has a small smirk on his face. He walks over to where Will is sitting with Elliot on the sofa bench. He kneels down and starts to speak like an excited three year.

"Will, I took your mom on my boat today. I asked her if maybe one day I could take you and her out there. Would you like that?" Christian asks nervously.

"You've gots your own boat?" Will looks at me then back to Christian with wide eyes.

"I sure do and I would love to take you on it one day." Christian replies.

"Mama! Cwistian has his own boat, Mama! I wanna go pwease!" Will's smile is contagious and I break out in a grin too. I go to answer Will when Ethan clears his throat.

"I don't think that is such a good idea." Ethan remarks while glaring at Christian. Elliot immediately senses that things are about to escalate and announces him and Christian are going to head home. I take note of Ethan's smirk from the corner of my eye. Kate, Will, and I say our goodbyes and Christian walks over to me. He leans in to kiss my cheek and tells me he will call about our date. Of course he makes no effort to hide the word date. He gives Will a high-five and walks to the SUV. I can feel Ethan's deathly glare behind me. Will waves goodbye to his new friends and they wave goodbye back with big smiles on their faces.

I turn around to see Ethan staring at me with the most hurt look in his eyes. I try to change the subject by asking Will what he did this weekend.

"Mama, daddy took me to a baseball game!" Will states excitedly. We all move inside and I sit Will on the kitchen counter in front of Kate who is sitting at the bar.

"How fun! Did you catch any balls?"

"No mama, I only three." He tells me like I should have known better than to ask that.

"Ana, can I talk to you please?" Ethan asks. I almost forgot he was here.

"Sure, baby will you stay with Kate for a second?" He nods his head and turns around to tell Kate about his weekend with his dad. Ethan and I head out back to the patio. We both take a seat and he looks at me as if I should explain what he just drove up on. I remain quiet and let him talk first.

"What was that Ana? I bring our son home and there are two guys here. Obviously one of them is more than just your friend because I heard what he said about your date. Also, you were planning on taking Will on his boat?" Ethan rushes out. I cannot tell if he is about to cry or scream. He is bordering on the edge of both.

"Ethan, they are just friends to me. Elliot is up your sister's ass already. And yes, Christian did ask me on a date and I agreed to go. As of right now though, we are just friends. Christian thought it would be fun for Will to see his boat. You know he loves boats and being in the water." I state honestly. It just isn't his business anymore. "Ethan, you have no right to be jealous. We are no longer together and haven't been for over a year. I am not yours anymore. Just like you are no longer mine. We have to move past this." He looks up at me with so much sorrow.

"I really messed up, huh? I thought we would get back together. You moved here after the divorce and I thought this was my chance to make our family whole again. I love you Ana. I have never stopped loving you. Why won't you give me a second chance?" He says looking straight at me as if I am going to magically say what he wants to hear.

"You cheated on me Ethan. You cheated on our family. I know it was one time, but it still broke my trust in you. At the moment I was at home with our boy with my heart loving you, you were out sleeping with someone who didn't even mean something to you. I moved here because I did not want my son to be separated by a country from his father. My dad moved back here around the same time you did as well as Kate. I had no one in Nashville. Then Seattle U called and it seemed like a perfect opportunity. I did not move here for you Ethan. I forgave you, but there is just no trust." I try to tell him in the most caring way I can. This conversation seems to be on repeat for Ethan. He cheated. We divorced. If I planned to get back together with him I probably would not have divorced him.

"Look, we have something many people can't say they have. We have a great co-parenting relationship. Will is lucky to have two parents that are friendly with each other. We saw how many people in high school whose parents didn't even speak. But our co-parenting relationship is all there is between us, okay?"

He doesn't say anything, but just stares at me. I hear the door open and turn to see who our visitor is. "Mama, me hungries. Tatie says to ast about dinner." I giggle as he climbs in my lap.

"And what does my little boy want for dinner, hmm?"

"Mac-n-cheese mama!" He yells. I should have known. It has always been his favorite.

"Okay, lets go inside and see if we have everything we need to make it." He claps and I smile.

"I am going to head home little man. Give me some sugars for the week." Ethan scoops up Will and places kisses all over his face. Will squeals in delight and I can't help but smile at this precious child. "Be good for you mama, okay?"

"I wuv mama, daddy. I be good." Will responds once again like we should know this.

"Of course you do! I'll see you soon little man." I hear the crack in Ethan's voice and decide to start heading to the front door. Kate tells Ethan bye and we all walk him out. Once at the door Ethan leans in to my ear and whispers,"I am not giving up on us." Then he kisses my cheek and Will's one last time. As he walks away Will waves from the front door as he places his head in the crook of my neck. My boy must be exhausted and I must admit I am myself.

After a quick dinner of mac-n-cheese and Kate heading home, I get the sleepy boy ready for bed.

"Mama, I wanna go on cwistians boat." He says through a yawn.

"I know you do baby. We will work something out, okay?" I try to sound promising. He nods his little head and closes his eyes. I wait until he drifts off to sleep before I go get myself ready for bed. I think about today's events. I like Christian. He is different and today he was not as arrogant as he was yesterday. I really enjoyed his company and it made my heart happy that he was so sweet with Will. Thinking of Will reminds me of Ethan. I have no idea how to get him to realize nothing is going to take place between us again and he should move on. I think I will have to talk to Kate about this soon. I finally drift asleep dreaming of grey eyes and my blue eyed baby boy.
