Baseball is my favorite sport, I love it. When daddy is home both of us get all of our Redsox gear on and watch the game. Daddy took me to my first game when I was 7 weeks old. Mommy didn't think it was a good idea to take such a young baby to a loud crowded place where men and women sat around drinking beer and eating hotdogs for hours on end. But I loved it and still do to this very day. It's one of those things that me and Daddy could do together and I think that's what made it even more special.
John had gone out and bought his son his very first baseball glove the day after he found out that baby was a boy. It was for a toddler and would be way too big for him for quite a while but he felt compelled to buy it. He then met Liz for a late afternoon lunch. He had a seat across from her and excused himself for being a few minutes late.
"So where were you?" she asked taking a sip of the wine she was drinking at the moment.
"I decided to do a little shopping for the baby" he tip toed around the subject of the baby.
"Oh" she replied offhandedly not really all that interested in the bastard child her fiancée had fathered due to a drunken one night stand. "How is the whore?"
"Liz please don't call the mother of my child a whore … you don't know her"
"Neither do you John" she put down the menu she happened to be looking at to stare at him "what do you really know about her other than the fact that she is pregnant with your illegitimate child? Huh! I bet it isn't much"
"I know she is giving birth to my son" a small smirk crossed over his handsome face.
Liz glared at him but remained silent. It stung her that he would throw the fact that this woman who he didn't even know was having his son, his bastard son no less. Not to mention that he was always defending her when Liz criticized this whole screwed up mess.
"All I'm saying is that she could be a serial killer or something"
"I doubt it" John scoffed unwilling to think of Rainey that way.
"How can you really be sure?"
A waitress came over to take their orders. Nothing else was said about the subject. But John had to admit to himself that Liz did have a valuable point. It wouldn't hurt to do some digging on the woman who was carrying his child. It was only fair right, she could very easily turn on a computer and research his life. Shouldn't he have the same courtesy? Yes, he decided that he should. He'd hire someone to research Rainey's background and history and no one would be the wiser of it. Yes he was beginning to like this plan already.
