Carter arrived at the hospital to meet Paisley seated besides a doctor, and a small bed with his son warmly tucked in it.
Karter was still deep in sleep and didn't feel the needle go through his tiny hand. The doctor hung the bag of fluids over the tall iron rack and just then, turned to see Carter.
"Mr. Reid" he greeted with a warm, but small smile. "I don't know if the phrase 'it's nice to see you again' will suffice"
Carter gave a low chuckle at his statement and shook his head.
"How is he?""He's running a fever. A bad one. We've wrapped him up in warm clothes and given him an IV. He'll be all better tomorrow morning""Thank you" Carter greeted with a smile of relief plastered on his face.

Chapter 10Paisley gasped upon seeing Karter's eyes wide open and staring at her when she got to his crib. He held his stuffed bunny's ears tight in his tiny hands and gave her a two-teeth smile."You're awake!" She chirped and immediately took him in her arms. She paused and felt his temperature with her palm. "And you're not burning up!" She grinned even wider.Karter's beady eyes glistened when he watched the familiar woman in awe. In his little mind, he had created a folder to house the young woman's bright smile, her warm eyes and body that captured every beat of his small heart."Karter," Paisley whined, "I was so scared you'd-" "Mommy!" Karter called out with his usual two-teeth smile and watched Paisley's eyes widen.She looked down

Chapter 11Kori trudged into her house after a long day of work and plopped down on the bed with a heavy sigh.She grabbed her phone from her purse and scrolled through it, forgetting that she had to lie down properly.Her phone buzzed in her hand and she rose a brow at the caller ID."This is a surprise" "I can hear the smirk in your tone" Paisley replied on the other end and gave an eye roll."Well, forgive me for being surprised. You rarely call. Is anything up?" "A lot of things. Well, a lot of things that shouldn't be explained over the phone"Kori rose a brow. "Paisley, for you, 'a lot of things ' doesn't mean much" "Hey! I'm not that boring" Paisley defended.

Chapter 12They exchanged their sandwiches and Kori's brows creased. "Urgh. As expected, Cheese sandwich is the best""Are you kidding? It's no different from pizza. Onion ranch is the best sandwich out there""It tastes like it doesn't want to be in your mouth" "It's just sour. That's a nice taste""Louis!" We looked out the window and noticed a little boy giggling. His mother ran to him and carried him with a swoop; swinging him around.He giggled uncontrollably and stretched his arms out to the man who approached them."Damn, he's fast" the man chuckled and carried his son. "Well, you told him to race ya" she giggled and patted her sons head."Wonn

Chapter 13 "You can buy me diamond earrings and deny-ny-ny, ny-ny-ny, deny-ny, But I smell her on your collar so goodbye-bye-bye, bye-bye-bye" Paisley sang along to one of her favorite songs while she flipped the pancake over. She wiggled her waist and waved her arms around to make ridiculous movements. "I know you lie! Whoo!" She whisper yelled the lyrics, afraid to wake Karter up. "Cause your lips are moving! Tell me, do you think I'm dumb?" Carter walked in during her crazy moves and intense kareoke moment and couldn't stop the grin that grew on his face. Paisley noticed him in her attempt to do the chacha slide and gasped, stumbling backwards before she was quickly caught by him. She immed

Chapter 14 "Peek….a-boo!" Kori exclaimed; revealing her face to an excited Karter. He let out a loud squeal and touched her face, gurgling whenever she covered it. "Peek.." Kori started again, remaining still for a while and peaking Karter's curiosity.He cooed and drew closer to Kori, tapping her hands and letting out loud gurgles. "A-boo!" Kori cooed and earned another loud squeal from him. He giggled uncontrollably and she scooped him up in her arms. "You two got close awfully quick" Paisley muttered and crossed her arms."What? Jealous?" Kori teased and stuck out her tongue. "Stop being childish" Paisley deadpanned."You're* the one being childish" Kori defended.

"Like all women, she's taking hours deciding what to wear" Carter jested and shoved his hands in his pockets."Why? You don't believe she's real?" "Oh that's not my problem. I'm afraid you've tied her up and locked her in your room"Carter shook his head with a low chuckle."You're serious with this?" Eli asked, his tone demanding a more serious atmosphere between the two and Carter's lips tugged up to a small smile."She's my girlfriend" he replied. "And I lik

Chapter 16"Water" Kori croaked as Paisley helped sit her up on the bed; placing a pillow at her back for better balance.She quickly poured some room temperature water in a cup and gave it to Kori."Are you ready to explain now?"Kori sighed. "Explain what?""How in the world did you end up fainting?!""Yeesh! Voice, Paisley. I'm dying here""Kori!" Paisley warned and earned a sigh from her best friend."I don't know either. I've just been feeling really strange lately. I haven't seen Jordan in over two weeks and I miss him so much. I guess the change just- took a toll on me""So youfainted""Yes, Paisley. Now, shut up. I want silence"

Chapter 17"I can't get used to seeing you in this kind of scenery" Kori teased with a slight smirk and earned an eye roll from Paisley. "Neither can I, apparently" Pasiley looked between the baby clothes and toys, most clothing racks labelled; Male, Female, or Unisex. "You don't suppose Karter would look good in a mini suit, do you?" Paisley questioned as she skimmed through them. "You know Karter looks adorable in anything"Paisley paused for a moment and scanned the cute outfits hung neatly on the clothing rack. "But Karter already has so many nice clothes and I don't want to get him something he'll see as 'one of' the many things he has""So you want to get him something special" "Something really special. Anything unrelated to clothes" "Well I'm going to get him this adorable one piece with a stuffed panda sticking out of it. He's turning two right?""Yeah, next week" Paisley replied. She had heard the news from Carter that morning and proceeded to freak out about it to

Chapter 27Saying goodbye to Astrid and the twins was a little harder than Paisley thought. She only spent a few days with them, but it oddly felt like a whole week."Call me the second you get back" Astrid said, dressing Carter's sweater shirt, then beaming at Karter who had his big, round eyes on her."I'll send you lots of toys for your birthday soon, Kubby" she cooed and kissed his chubby cheeks."You guys better head out, or you'll miss your flight" Daryl warned, using his index finger to grab Karters small hand. "Happy birthday little one. Uncle Carl and Daryl will send you something too""Thank you for these past few days" Paisley smiled."No worries, dear. You two take care of yourselves and Karter, okay?""We will"Astrid and the twins waved them off once they got in the taxi, and Paisley watched them through the side mirror till they were out of sight, then she let out a low and satisfied sigh.Their trip was basically over, and a lot happened.Including her fight with Carte

Chapter 26*"You're coming back tomorrow right? Let's grab a meal together when you do"*"Tommorrow's Karter's birthday remember? We'll have to take a rain check"*"Thursday then, I'll be free anyways. I took some days off work"*"Then, it's a date" Paisey smiled.She hung up the call, then let out a low sigh when she leaned her head against the windshield frame. Her stomach churned, and her mind kept wandering off to Lucy's hand holding unto Carter's."We've kissed a few times, we've barely hugged each other too. But who does she think she is to cling to him like some sea barnacle?!" Paisley groaned. "Tch! It annoys me everytime I think about it"*But...what am I doing stuck in his car? Why did I leave in the first place? He's my boyfriend right? That means I have the right to stay by his side and ward that Lucy girl off.*Maybe it was Kori's call, or the constant thought of Lucy latching unto Carter without her around, but Paisley mustered the courage to go back in.*It's fine.

Chapter 25"Wow!" Paisley exclaimed, staring at the various colors and flavors of ice cream lined up before them."You can never go wrong with Coldstone" she beamed and earned a low chuckle from Carter."What flavor should we get? Better to mix a whole lot of them""Truer words have never been said" she smirked and cracked her knuckles; a sinister glint crossing her brown eyes as she glanced through the name tags."People would think you were trying to make a life changing decision " Carter teased."It is life changing. Well, during the few minutes we'll eat it""Don't mix some poisonous concussion""Why not? That's the joy that comes with picking your own flavors"C

Chapter 24"It's just as I remember it" Carter breathed as he and Paisley stared at the large bricked building with a eide field covered in carpet grass."I'm having a hard time imagining a sixteen year old Carter strolling through that field with a black backpack""What makes you think It was a black backpack?" He chuckled and earned a shrug from her."You seem like the dark colors type""True" He shrugged as well, "but i owned a red backpack throughout my years in highschool""Red is so unlike you" She giggled and they drove past the school building."I made a lot of good memories in school. I had friends that cared and would walk me home everyday""What were you like in school?"

Chapter 23Jordan let out a deep sigh as he entered his new home. He loosened his tie and a faint smile crossed his face as he walked by the to-be nursery room.It's all feeling too real now....huh?He entered their bedroom and caught sight of Kori sitting on the bed. She had her phone to her ear and shot him a bright grin when she noticed him."Oh yeah, it's Jordan. He just came home from work" she explained and Jordan rose his brows."Your mom?" He whispered and Kori nodded a reply."He's tired, mom. He'll make sure to call you later""Hello, Tessa!"

As the soul of our dear friend, brother, father, and husband departs from this world, I pray that his journey to God be a safe, and sure one"The service started around 11am, but they arrived at the hall by 9am, greeting the few guests that showed up early, Carter's relatives as well.Astrid had two older brothers, and Andrew's family was quite large. Three sisters; one older than Andrew and two younger brothers. They arrived with their families, exchanging words of sympathy and catching up with Carter; the rumored prodigal son.The priest stood beside a large framed photo of Carter's father, and it was the first time Paisley got the chance to see what he looked like.She was a bit shocked.

Chapter 21"You know you hurt mom last night, right?" Daryl informed as he took out a bottled water from the fridge. He leaned against the fridge and stared straight at Carter who sat on the sofa across from him.Carter remained all but quiet, taking care of the little work left on his laptop and hoping Daryl wouldn't press further on the topic.Paisley had talked to him the previous night, and like he promised her, he planned on spending the entire day with nothing but that on his mind. However, Daryl prying in on the situation was liable to make him snap."You shouldn't have said that""Daryl" Carl warned with a shake of his head. Daryl let out a sigh and turned to Carter;"I just want you to apologise to mom. She went to bed pretty shake

Chapter 20"I won't do that"Astrid's eyes widened a fraction, "Carter-""You of all people should know just what it is you're asking me to do" He snapped and his eyes grew even darker."I understand what you must feel right now, Carter, but-""I don't think you do, mom. If you did, you wouldn't ask that of me""It's what your father would've wanted, Carter. You have no idea how heart broken your father was- knowing he was the reason his family was torn apart""Dad was not the only reason our family was torn apart" Carter said, "You played a part in it as well, mom"Astrid's eyes widened and Paisley couldn't literally see the woman's heart shatter through her eyes."Carter!" Daryl yelled in defense and watched as his mother's expression crumbled.Carter stood up from his seat, his dark expression still glued glued his face as he walked out on them.Paisley remained glued to her seat, unable to follow Carter into the room. She found herself letting out a breath she didn't know she was
