A week goes by and Kris still hasn't told Matt. Noah and Kris are out later than expected on a visit one night. Kris calls back to the office.

"Hello?" Dani answers her personal line.

"Hey Dani can you do me a favor?"

"Sure what?"

"We're running a little late,"

"Ok,"

"I talked to Jace and he's going to bring Ethan there. I should be there by the time he is, but..."

"Don't worry it's taken care of,"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah,"

"Thank you. I've got to go Noah's done loading the truck,"

"Ok, bye," she hangs up.

Ten minutes later Jace stops by with Ethan. Dani quickly scoops the baby out of his car seat to snuggle him. Twenty minutes later Noah and Kris return. Kris volunteers to put the supplies back where they belong so that Noah can head home. After returning the supplies to their designated spot Kris makes her way into Dani's office.

"How long ago did he get dropped off?"

"Not that long ago. Maybe half an hour,"

"Ok,"

"Do you want him? He's asleep,"

"Yeah. I've got to get him home and give him a bath and get him to bed,"

Kris unwraps the baby and puts him in his car seat. Dani leaves her office to make sure everything is turned off. As she heads for the reception area Matt comes in.

"Matt what are you doing here?"

"I had to come pick up some cream for one of the horses,"

"Oh ok, wait here and I'll go get it for you,"

"Ok,"

Dani returns from the supply closet with the cream.

"There you go," she tells him as she gives him the tube of cream just as Kris comes out of Dani's office.

"Hey Dani do you want me to lock this door?"

"No. I'll get it in a minute," she tells her hoping that she takes a while getting there.

However that isn't how it works out. Within seconds Kris appears with a diaper bag on one shoulder, and a car seat in her hand. She stops dead in her tracks.

"Oh Matt I didn't know that you were here,"

He doesn't say anything. He stares at her and then the car seat which has a blanket covering it.

"Um..."

"I'll leave you two alone," Dani says as she retreats to her office.

"I didn't expect to see you here," Kris tells him.

Matt continues to stare at her. Finally he asks, "Why do you have a carseat?"

"Why do people usually have car seats Matt?"

"To put babies in,"

"Yeah,"

"So there's a baby in there?"

"Yeah. Why would I carry around an empty car seat?"

"I don't know,"

"Neither do I,"

"So whose baby do you have?" he asks.

She stares at Matt and without blinking replies, "Mine,"

"You had a baby?"

"Yeah,"

"When?"

"Last year,"

"Oh. Girl or boy?"

"A boy. His name is Ethan," she tells him. She momentarily sits the carseat on the floor, and folds the blanket down so that Matt can see the baby.

"When was he born?"

"November 23rd,"

"Oh," Matt just stares at the sleeping little boy.

"Do you want to hold him?"

"No. Wait who's his father?"

"Uh..."

"Is it Junior?"

"No,"

"So who?"

"Matt the other night when we ended up talking about you're mom it was because I didn't know how to tell you,"

"How to tell me what?"

"How to tell you that I had a baby,"

"Ok,"

"And to apologize for not telling you sooner,"

"It's ok,"

"Because you had a right to know," she says as she fights back tears.

"I did?"

"Yeah, because it's not fair to keep a secret like this from the other party involved," she says as a tear escapes from her eye.

"Right,"

"Because if someone fathers a child they should know,"

"Kris what are you telling me?"

With tears beginning to roll down her cheeks she replies, "Matt I'm so sorry I didn't tell you about him. I shouldn't have kept him from you,"

"What do you mean kept him from me? Does anyone else know?"

"A couple of people. But I should have told you first because you're..." she stops in mid-sentence.

"Because I'm what?"

"Because he's yours,"

"He's my what?"

"He's your son," she tells him as she wipes away tears.

"I don't know what to say,"

"I understand if you need time to process,"

"Yeah. Can I hold him?" Matt asks.

"Yeah," she replies.

She unbuckles Ethan from his car seat and hands the baby to Matt. He just stares at the baby who is sucking on his pacifier as he sleeps. He's zipped up in his coat with a matching hat on his head.

"He's so tiny,"

"He's a lot bigger now than when he was born,"

"Here take him I'm afraid that I'll drop him," he tells her.

She retrieves the beautiful sleeping infant and returns him to his carseat. She carefully snaps him back in and snuggles one blanket around him, and then covers the opening of the carseat with another.

"Why don't you head home, and take some time to process," Kris suggests.

"Yeah, ok," he agrees.

At home Jean is in the living room when Matt comes home. She can tell that something's bothering him.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine,"

"Are you sure Matt? You look upset,"

"I'm not upset, more like I'm in shock,"

"About what?" she plays dumb.

"I have a son,"

"What?"

"I saw Kris tonight, and she had a baby,"

"Oh,"

"And he's mine. I've got a son. Why didn't she tell me?"

"I think that she was afraid to tell you because she didn't know how you were going to react,"

"Why would she be afraid of that?"

"I don't know. Maybe she thought you wouldn't want to be involved in his life,"

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know,"

"Did you know?"

Jean doesn't answer.

"You knew!"

"Matt I just found out,"

"When?"

"Last week,"

"You've known for a week and didn't tell me? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I thought that is was Kris's place to tell you,"

"How did you find out?"

"After we talked I decided to drop by Kris's apartment,"

"So you saw him?"

"Yeah,"

"Did you hold him?"

"Yes,"

"Did she tell you that he belonged to me?"

"Yeah after quite a while she told me,"

"Then why wouldn't you tell me? You can't just keep that from someone,"

"Matt she kept it from you for over three months,"

"I know but it's not the same," he tells her as he storms out of the room.
