Jake stopped by McDonald's to get Aubree something to eat. He was sitting down at a table with his daughter when he seen Whitney walk in with her sister, Britney.

"Please don't see me, please don't see me." Jake whispered.

Whitney spotted him and smiled devilishly. She said something to her sister and then made her way over to him.

"No such luck." Jake mumbled.

"Hi."

Jake ignored her.

"Is this your little girl?" She asked looking down at the toddler. "Aww, she looks like you. Hi, sweetie."

The toddler put her face into her dad's neck.

"Bye, Whitney."

"Ok." She said taking a hint.

She began to walk away and turned around.

"Oh, Jake…I think I left my necklace at your place the other day." She told him. "If you find it, I would like it back. See you around."

Jake came in laughing with his daughter.

"Mommy!"

Jake put the little girl daughter and she ran up to McKenzie.

"Mom wants to get her for the night, is that alright?"

"Yep."

"She'll be here in a few minutes."

"You wanna go stay with grandma?" McKenzie asked her daughter.

The little girl nodded.

"Well let's go get you some stuff together."

She let the little girl down and they went upstairs to Aubree's room. McKenzie packed Aubree some stuff and they went back downstairs.

After Mary left with Aubree, Jake went over to the couch cushions and dug around looking around for the necklace.

"This is the only place she was." Jake mumbled.

"You looking for this?" McKenzie asked dangling the necklace.

"Mac…its not what it looks like."

"Gee, where have I heard that before." She asked throwing the necklace at him.

"It's not." He said following her into the kitchen.

"Jake, I cleaned the house before I left." She said getting a beer out of the fridge and slamming the door. "So, that means one thing…she was here when I was in Colorado."

"She was." Jake admitted. "But I promise you, that it's not what you think."

"What do I think?" She asked.

"You think something happened between us." Jake said coming close to McKenzie. "But nothing happened."

"How do I know that?" She asked him backing up. "Huh?"

"McKenzie, I've done a lot of things to hurt you but I've never cheated." He said. "I put that on everything."

"Why is her necklace here?"

"I was going to tell you that she was here the other day." Jake said sitting down at the counter. "Someone knocked, I opened the door, she barged in and tried to make a pass at me. I declined and told her to leave…that was it."

"Are you telling me the truth?"

"Yes."

McKenzie knew that Jake was telling her the truth.

"I love you McKenzie." He told her sincerely. "Whitney and I hooked up twice…that's it. It was only twice and it meant nothing."

"You could've hooked up with anyone…why her?" She asked hurt. "You know we've never got along. Hell, we all went to high school together."

"I know." He sighed. "I didn't think you were coming back…much less us getting back together."

"I believe you." She said quietly.

She grabbed the necklace and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Jake asked.

"To settle this." She said walking out the door.

She knew immediately where to find Whitney. She was a bartender/waitress at a bar downtown. She walked into the bar and seen only a few people in there. She walked up to the counter and sat down.

"Hi, Mac." Whitney said coming over. "What brings you to the bar at 3 p.m. Fight with Jake?"

"You forgot this." McKenzie said dropping the necklace down on the counter. "Let's get something straight, Whitney…."

A/N: Did anyone catch on the promo video for the upcoming season of DC that Josh said he was the youngest captain/owner on the Bering Sea?
