I'm probably the only one that liked Cortney and Brandon together, and liked the relationship that Brandon was building with Mason. I'll probably get a lot of hate for this, but I don't care.
Twenty-one year old Cortney and her three year old son Mason just moved into their new apartment after staying at Brandon's in the guest house for a week and a half. Cortney is tucking Mason into bed on their first night in the new place.
"Goodnight baby boy. Sweet dreams. I love you." Cortney told her son
"Goodnight mommy. I love you too." Mason replied. Then he asked, "Is daddy going to come say goodnight to me?"
Cortney looked at her son confused, "Mace, you don't see daddy until the weekend. He doesn't live with us."
Mason shook her head, "No mommy, not Daddy Eddie. Daddy Brandon."
"Oh sweetie. Brandon is at his house." Cortney told her son
Mason looked sad, "Oh. Mommy, when's daddy going to live with us again?"
"I don't know, baby." Cortney replied
"Can we see him tomorrow, mommy?" Mason wondered
Cortney shrugged, "I don't know, sweetie. We'll see. Now it's time to go to sleep."
"Okay mommy. Goodnight." Mason said
"Night baby boy." Cortney told her son as she turned on his nightlight and then walked out of his bedroom, closing the door behind her.
The next morning Cortney texted Brandon to tell him that they needed to meet and talk. She suggested a park so that Mason could play and get his energy out.
Cortney and Mason arrived at the park before Brandon. Mason ran off to play and then a few minutes later Brandon finally showed.
"Hey." Brandon greeted Cortney as he sat down beside her.
"So Mason referred to you as 'daddy' last night. He asked when you were coming to live with us again." Cortney explained
Brandon sighed, "I'm sorry, Cort. This is what you were afraid of. Confusing Mason and I just didn't listen."
Cortney shook her head, "No, it's okay. I'm glad that Mason has you to look up to as a father figure. Eddie lost custody and signed away his rights so that he wouldn't have to pay child support. If it's okay with you, I'd like you to have a more active role in Mason's life."
"That would be more than okay with me." Brandon replied, "I love Mason, and I'm sorry about Eddie. I'm sorry that he can't see what an amazing kid Mason is. If it's okay with you, I'd like to adopt Mason, so that I can legally be his father."
Cortney gave a smile, "That would be more than okay, but maybe we should wait a little bit."
Brandon nodded, "Okay."
Meanwhile on the playground, Mason looked over in the direction of his mother and saw Brandon. The little boy ran full speed towards Brandon and his mother, while his arms outstretched as he yelled 'Daddy!'.
"Daddy!" Mason exclaimed as he jumped onto Brandon's lap and gave him a big hug.
Brandon smiled as he hugged Mason back, "Hey buddy."
"I missed you, Daddy." Mason said
"I missed you too, Mace." Brandon admitted
