Edit. I was rereading this and I couldn't stand on how crummy the diologe is... So I had to go back and fix it before I went insane. Xp

Again. another great idea lost... =/ Maybe one day I'll get motivated to write it again... feel free to use as a idea guide for your own plot.

"Daddy!" A small child shouted as he spotted his father enter the classroom. His father gave him a quick smile before turning to the teacher and talked quietly to her. His Teacher Mrs. Cooper smiled at him before frowning and looking confused. She was nodding a lot but then gave her father a small hug. Mrs. Cooper never hugged anyone's parents before. He wondered what was going on.

"Daddy?" The boy asked as he came up to his father.

"Hey buddy." His father smiled sadly at him before picking up the six year old.

"Daddy… What's wrong?" He asked.

"Well… I'll tell you in the car. I promise. Thank you Allison." His father said turning to Mrs. Cooper.

"You're welcome Shane. I'll send some stuff over sometime over the weekend." Mrs. Cooper said smiling as she put her hand on his arm. Normally when a lady did that she wanted something from the boy's father. But Mrs. Cooper was married and she wasn't related to Daddy or his Uncle's… Did she maybe know his mommy?

"Thanks." Shane nodded before putting his son down. "Why not go get your stuff Mason." Shane smiled down.

"Okay Daddy." Mason said as he bounced off to his cubby. He grabbed his backpack and waved to his friends Adam and Ryan. "Bye guys!" He shouted as he ran by them. They waved back to him. "Come onnnn Daddy." Mason said pulling on Shane's hand as he saw his father talking to someone's mom.

"Oh… Such your such brave man…" the lady said giving him a smile.

"Thank you… See you later." Shane said smiling as he felt Mason pull again.

"Good bye." The lady said before she looked for her child.

Shane easily scooped up the boy in his arms. "Why are you so sad Daddy?" Mason asked looking into his father's sad eyes.

"Well. I found out something today." Shane said quietly.

"What?" Mason was super curious.

"Well. You know how Grandpa has been sick for the past couple of months?" Shane asked looking down as they reached the car.

"Yes…" Mason nodded recalling his grandpa being so sick that he couldn't see him.

"Well… Grandpa past away this morning right before I took you to school." Shane said opening the door for the boy to get in.

When Mason didn't get in Shane glanced back at the boy. "Mason?" Shane asked as he squatted down to his son's height.

"You mean Grandpa died?" Mason asked quietly as his backpack dropped off his shoulder.

"Yeah buddy… I fo- Mason!" Shane shouted as the boy turned and ran away. "Shit." Shane muttered as he closed the door and took off after Mason.

"Mason!" Shane shouted again. The boy had somehow got across the street and in the little park. He frowned he couldn't find the boy. "Mason?" Shane called again worried this time. He walked the small park looking for a sign of the boy. He walked around for around twenty minutes worried as he sat down at a bench and put his head in his hands. "I probably should have told him in the car…" He muttered to himself as he leaned back and let his back hit the bench hard. "Damn…" He murmured.

Running away was the easy thing for Mason to do. It was trying to find his way back. "Daddy?" Mason said loudly as he looked for something he knew. "Daddy?" He shouted again scared. He noticed a lady had stopped when he shouted. She looked like Mrs. Cooper. "Mrs. Cooper?" He said as he approached the woman slowly. She didn't look like she could hurt him in fact she looked like she was worried about something. "Mrs. Cooper?" He said louder as he stood in front of the lady.

"Huh?" She said looking down at the boy. "No… I'm not Mrs. Cooper… Hey… where's your family?" the woman asked.

"I ran away from my daddy…" Mason mumbled as he looked down.

"You ran away from your daddy? Why?" She asked as she bent down to be eye level with the boy.

"He told me something he's known all day that's really sad… So I ran away because I didn't believe him. I feel really bad for doing it now… My name is Mason." Mason said looking again at the lady. She looked a lot like Mrs. Cooper and the lady in the picture on his father's nightstand.

"I'm Mitchie." She smiled as she pushed a little hair from his eyes. "Mason… I have a son named Mason… but he lives with his daddy when we broke up." Mitchie recalled the baby.

Mason looked at Mitchie before grabbing her hand. "You look a lot like the lady on my daddy's night table… and Mrs. Cooper… Its really confusing… But could you help me find my daddy?" Mason asked. Mitchie smiled and nodded.

"I'd gladly help you. What does your daddy look like?" Mitchie asked.

"Well… I'm not suppose to tell anyone this because it could possibly give away were Daddy is… But do you know what Shane Gray looks like?" Mason asked looking at Mitchie with a curious look. Mitchie froze.

"Mason Andrew Gray?" She asked quietly as she looked at the boy again.

"Ho-ho-how do you know my name?" Mason said scared now. She didn't look scary before now he was scared she might take him away.

"I know you daddy…" she said quietly. "Come on. Let's go find him. I bet he went looking for you." Mitchie said pulling on his hand towards the entrance of the park. "We'll start at the front of the park and walk back." Mitchie smiled.

Shane sighed as he got up. How was he going to tell Mitchie this when he talked to her later? "Oh by the way… Our son went missing cause I told him my father died… No biggie…" He murmured to himself before running a hand through his hair. "She's going to kill me." He said as he started to walk back to the front. He wasn't paying much attention until he heard what sounded like Mason talking to someone. It was a woman.

"Really? That's pretty amazing. When I was growing up my daddy didn't tell me bedtime stories." She said as she spotted Shane. She smiled at him before turning Mason to face him.

"Daddy!" Mason shouted before taking off towards Shane.

Scooping the boy up and hugging him tightly to him. "Don't ever do that again." He said as he put the boy down.

"Thank you m'am." He said not turning to the woman who had followed the boy.

"You're welcome Shane." Mitchie called from behind him with a smile. She laughed as he spun around to face her.

"Mitch…" He said before pulling her into a hug.

"Hi." Mitchie said shyly.

"What are you doing back?" Shane said shocked.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way. I'm happy your back but it's just surprising to see you… You look good." Shane rambled as Mason watched curiously.

"Mitchie… How do you know my daddy?" He asked glancing between the two.

"Well…" Mitchie started unsure how to answer.

"Mason. Buddy you know the picture on my night stand?" Shane asked sensing Mitchie's confusion.

"Yes… Its always there… But you never told me who it was when I ask…" Mason said frowning.

:And I know you've heard me talking on the phone to your mother as well." Shane said smiled sadly.

"Mitchie smiled. "That's because it's me." Mitchie smiled as she glance at Shane who nodded.

Mason nodded then looked at Mitchie then back at Shane. "She's my mommy?" He said confused as he looked at the two.

"Yep. That's how I knew your full name." She smiled as she reached out and ruffled the little boy's black hair.

"But… Wait! What?" Mason said confused.

"Do you remember how I said I have a son name Mason but he lives with his daddy?" Mitchie asked. Mason nodded again like it was the most important thing in the world. "Well your that Mason." Mitchie smiled widely as his eyes widen.

"You're my mommy?" He asked quietly unsure if he should believe her.

"Yes." Shane said before looking over at Mitchie with a weak smile.
