Easily Swayed
Aimee didn't doubt she would get along well with Horatio's son. But it did surprise her that she fall in love with Kyle Caine instantly. It made her think even more that something had to be wrong with the boy's mother. She didn't question how a man as smart as Horatio got involved with someone like this Julia person, Horatio never told her the woman's full name. People are good at hiding their true colors and by the time Kyle's mother showed hers she was probably already pregnant with Kyle. Horatio wasn't about to abandon his baby even if he wasn't going to be with Julia. Aimee didn't want to get too attached too fast but she was already starting to want to be this boy's mother.
After meeting her, Kyle couldn't stop talking about Aimee.
"I really like her, daddy," Kyle said to Horatio. "Do you think she liked me?"
"She did," Horatio replied. "And I bet she's going to come over and play with you like she said."
"Aimee's your girlfriend, isn't she, daddy? I saw you and her kiss," Kyle said, scrunching up his face.
Horatio laughed.
"You saw that, huh?"
Kyle nodded. He didn't tell his dad but Kyle thought if he could pick a mom for himself that mom would be Aimee.
After his little man was tucked in bed and sleeping soundly Horatio sat down and called his girlfriend. "You're all I've heard about since the park. From a certain little boy," Horatio said. "Who thinks you're the best thing since Lightning McQueen."
"He's such a beautiful little boy, Horatio. He's so lucky to have you."
"I beg to differ. I'm the lucky one to have him."
