Jenny's POV

It has been three and a half weeks since I last saw him. I missed him so much. Every night I would dream of him and I together. I wanted to see him so badly. I laid down in bed, trying to go back to sleep when my cell rang.

"Hello" I said

"Jenny?"

"Hey Matt, did you get the results?"

"Yeah, he's mine and I'm getting him back. I set up the nursery. I thought you should know that our boy is at my house. I'll raise him alone if that's what you want."

"Matt, can I call you later?"

"Yeah, I'm bringing him home in like three hours!"

I hung up the phone and walked down the hall to the nursery where mom was sitting with Ally.

"Mom?" I said, tears welling up in my eyes.

"Honey, what's wrong?" She said setting Ally in her crib and pulling me into a hug.

"Matt's getting the baby back. I don't know what to do. I want to see him so badly, but I gave him up. I walked away."

"Jenny, that boy will always be your baby. He was your baby when he was adopted and he will be your baby no matter where he is. I'm sorry, but I don't have any advice I can give you. Talk to your dad, or Nikki. He raised you when Nikki walked away, and Nikki knows what it's like to walk away from you baby. Go, talk to her. And, you know what it's like to be raised by your father and another woman. How did you feel about Nikki. Think about those things."

It was the best advice I'd heard. This was the situation my parents were in, it was a situation I had lived. I laid down on my bed and thought. I must have been in there for hours when I heard a light knock on the door.

"Come in!"

Nikki walked in. "Your mom, um Peyton called me."

It had always been a tense situation. I called Peyton mom, but Nikki didn't know what to call her. Nikki had been my mom. Even though the situation was weird, Nikki and I had forged a relationship over the years.

"Oh, what did she tell you?"

"She said that Matt was keeping the baby. Jenny, I know I might have walked away all those years ago, but it was a mistake. I hurt you and myself, I missed out on the chance to raise you and be close with you. I'm not telling you to get custody or anything, but just think about it. When you were little you used to say that I didn't love you because I walked away, but you see now just how much love I really felt. Talk to Matt and figure out a way to at least stay in the baby's life if you don't want to help raise him."

"Thanks Nikki. You know that I do love you right?"

"Of course Jen, and you know I love you more than I ever thought a human could love. Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

"Are you mad at me for not being there and raising you like a mother should?"

"I was, but I guess you wanted more for me and I got that with dad. It was like you gave me up for adoption, and that's what I was doing. I just, I used to feel like you didn't love me as much as Elliott, Porter and Evan (Nikki's other kids)."

"Jenny, I love you just as much as I love them."

"I know Nikki."
