Brent pulled the car to a stop behind the familiar silver car, he sighed just wishing he didn't have to be here. He loved Anna and Jamie but Anna will always have a place for Tristan in her heart he was the father of her child and no one could forget that. Anna was a beautiful young women with bronze skin and long brown hair just waiting to be touched, everyday Brent thought about how lucky he was that Tristan and Anna were only a fling because if they were more he would have never had a chance with this woman.
Anna opened the door and slid out of the car and went to open the back door to get Jamie out of the backseat. She had just put Jamie down when he went running down the sidewalk towards his fathers waiting arms.
"Daddy!" Jamie cried excitedly his blonde curls shaking while he ran.
"Hey Bub" Tristan smiled wrapping his son in his arms.
"I really missed you daddy, but mommy said I get to spend the summer with you!" Jamie cheered excitedly.
"Yeah Jamie you get to spend the summer with me, and I missed you more than you know Bub" Tristan answered truthfully.
Tristan stood up with Jamie wrapped around one side of his stomach as he grabbed the bag out of Brent's hand and put it over his shoulder. He nodded at both of them and slowly opened the trunk of the SUV and put the bag away.
"Anna, Brent" Tristan muttered.
"Hey Tristan, I'm glad your back from North Carolina" Anna answered politely.
"Me too" Tristan answered while looking down at the boy in his arms.
"Honey we need to go if were going to make it back to Hartford for our reservations" Brent stated in discomfort.
"Your right sweetie" Anna agreed.
"Be good for your Dad Jamie and mommy loves you and she'll miss you. But you can call me anytime you want sweet pea" Anna said while hugging her son and kissing his head.
"I love you to mommy, I'll miss you too" Jamie stated squeezing his mom tightly.
Anna handed Jamie back to Tristan and waved as she and Brent got in their car, Tristan and Jamie waved as the car drove off.
"So you hungry Bub?" Tristan asked his son.
"Yeah" Jamie added simply.

Rory met her mom at home as she put the movies down on the coffee table.
"Rory I'm hungry again and were out of coffee" Lorelai whined.
"Okay lets go back to the Luke's, but we all know you just want to flirt with him" Rory smiled innocently at her mother's shocked face.
"I'm.. I'm not commenting" Lorelai said as she and Rory walk out of the door of the crap shack.
They bantered all the way to the diner they both stopped short when they saw the SUV was still there. They entered the diner and sat down at the counter again. Rory let it slide that her mother sat them four seats over from Tristan and a young boy.
Luke sat two plates in front of Tristan and Jamie and then wandered over to Rory and Lorelai. He was about to open his mouth when they heard something fall. Turning they saw a plastic cup lying empty on the ground and apple juice spilled on the floor.
"I'm sorry daddy, I didn't mean to please don't spank me like Mr. Brent, I'm sorry daddy!" Jamie wailed.
"Oh Bub no ones mad, daddy's not mad at you and you know daddy would never hit you" Tristan said as he grabbed Jamie in a hug and rocked him till the young boy quieted down.
Luke had grabbed a mop and quickly cleaned up the mess and picked up the cup and put it in the sink in the kitchen. He pulled out another glass and sat it in front of Jamie's plate. Tristan nodded his thanks as he sat Jamie down on the stool next to him.
"Um excuse me is there a phone I can use its really important I wouldn't ask but my phones dead" Tristan asked rage was shown on his face.
"Sure kid its right there don't worry I'll keep an eye on your boy" Luke stated feeling remorse for the young man.
"Thanks, Jamie daddy's gunna use the phone right there okay so eat your lunch Bub and then we can leave" Tristan stated ruffling the young boys hair as he walked toward the phone.
Luke stood across from Jamie at the counter and smiled as the young boy gobbled his food down clearly feeling better.
"What's your name little man?" Luke inquired.
"My names Jamie what's your?" he asked shyly.
"My names Luke" Luke answered the young child.
"Really? I have a friend name Luke, he goes to daycare with me" Jamie stated happily.

Tristan picked up the phone and furiously dialed Anna's cell phone number, impatiently waiting for her to answer it.
"Hello" Anna answered.
"What the hell do you think your doing letting your boyfriend hit my son like that Anna?" Tristan cried angrily.
"What are you talking about Tristan?" Anna asked confused.
"Jamie dropped his cup of juice on the ground of the diner were at and started bawling his eyes out pleaded for me not to spank him like Mr. Brent did!" Tristan cried as his face flashed a dangerous colour of red.
"Tristan I don't know what your talking about Brent would never lay a hand on Jamie, anyways I have to go I'm in a restaurant" Anna said quickly before she went to hang up her phone.
"No Anna this isn't over don't hang up this phone" Tristan cried infuriated.
He slammed the phone back on the hook muttering to himself. He rubbed his face with his hand like he was trying to get rid of the image of his son pleading him not to hit him.
He stalked back over to his stool and sat with Jamie. He fiend shock when he saw his son had pie and he didn't.
"Hey Bub where'd you get the pie from?" Tristan asked jokingly.
"From Luke Daddy" Jamie asked with a smile on his face.
"Does Daddy get a bite of that pie?" Tristan asked comically trying to put the forkful of pie in his mouth.
Jamie nodded laughing putting the food in his dad's mouth. When the pie was all gone Tristan grabbed his wallet out of his back pocket and put down a twenty on the counter. He helped Jamie off the stool and grabbed his tiny hand in his before waving goodbye to Luke.
"Bye Mr. Luke!" Jamie cried waving to the man as he walked backwards towards the door.
"Bye Jamie" Luke laughed waving goodbye to the little boy.

Rory and Lorelai looked at each other with shock when they saw what happened when the boy spilt his drink but what got Rory more was the fact that Tristan Dugrey had a son.
"What kind of mother lets someone hit their child" Lorelai fumed.
"Mom I know but obviously Tristan is taking care of it" Rory stated calmly.
"I didn't know anyone else from Hartford had a teen pregnancy"Loerlai said stunned, by this resent discovery.
"OH GOD MOM LOOK" Rory cried pointing outside just in time to see Dean run and push Tristan to the ground, which sent Jamie flying into the cement sidewalk.
They rushed outside as they watched Tristan pick up a wailing Jamie; he rocked the young boy trying to calm him down whispering soothing messages to him.
"Oh Bub your okay it's alright it was just a little fall, hey calm down big guy slow down your breathing for daddy" Tristan instructed soothingly.
"Dean what is your problem! Why would you do that?" Rory screamed shocked by her boyfriend's behavior.
"I didn't know he had a kid with him if I knew I wouldn't have done that" Dean tried to reason.
"Dean you shouldn't have done it in the first place let alone if there was a child with Tristan or not" Lorelai stated not pleased with the boy.
"Dean we need to talk let's go" Rory stated grabbing his arm and pulling him towards a bench.
Lorelai turned to Tristan who was finally getting Jamie to calm down some. She walked over and started rubbing the little boys back while giving Tristan a sympathetic look.
"Let me see him I am the master of clumsy kid falls, even though this had something to do with a donkey" Lorelai stated jokingly.
"Hey Bub my friend Lorelai is gunna carry you for a second okay" Tristan said looking at the little boy.
"Okay Daddy" was Jamie's quiet reply.
Lorelai grabbed Jamie and sat him on the hood of Tristan's SUV she started looking for scrapes or any site of blood.
"Jamie does anything hurt?" Loreali asked in her motherly voice.
"My elbow" Jamie said showing her his scratch.
"Do I have to cut it off or will it be okay?" She asked teasingly.
"It'll be okay after a kiss" he stated giggling.
Lorelai smiled and gave his elbow and little kiss and pretended to bite his elbow. Jamie started laughing and squirming.
"I think you'll be fine little man but I think some ice cream might do the trick, what do you say dad do you think he deserves a second dessert after that trip?" Loreali asked looking at Tristan.
"I think just this once wont kill him," Tristan stated laughing at Jamie who was giving him the puppy eyes.
"Yay come on Jamie" Lorelai said lifting him off the car and grabbing his hand waiting for him to grab Tristan's hand and they were on in search of the ice cream shop.
