"Ali?" Nick questioned softly.

"Hunter, we have to go," I picked him up and that basket.

"Ali?" he asked again.

"Yes Nick?" I replied.

"Its nice to see you again," he smiled.

"You two know each other?" Hunter asked.

"Hunt, go look at the lobsters, I'll be over in a minute," I ruffled his hair.

"Is he yours?" Nick asked nervous.

"Yeah, this one's have me," I smiled.

"How old is he?" he asked looking at him.

"3," I smiled at how lucky I was to have him, "People say he looks like me, but he acts like his father."

"So, you're married?" he asked kinda disappointed.

"No, I was engaged to his father, but he wanted someone else. His dad doesn't even know Hunter is alive," I explained.

"What kind of father doesn't know he has a kid?" Nick asked almost as a
joke.

"Don't be bad mouthin' his father. He's a really descent guy and you'd love him," I smiled.

"So, how'd you get his name?" he asked.

"I just liked the name Hunter and well his middle name is his father's
middle name," I replied.

"Which is," he asked.

"Gene," I said gently. Nick's eyes got a little wider. He held his hand up to his chest as if a question, "Yeah, he's yours," I said softly to him.

"We made him?" Nick asked looking him over, "He's beautiful," he whispered.

"Yeah, he is," I commented, "He's just like you. He has an amazing voice."

"Ali," he turned around to face me, "I still love you. And I can't just forget what I did, but I did screw up. I haven't seen another woman since. My heart belongs to you, nobody else," he said taking my hand in both of his.

"I don't know Nick, you really hurt me last time. I'm still recovering," I said looking away.

"Ali," he whispered with his eyes penetrating mine.

"Mommy!" Hunter call em. Me and Nick both looked, "He looks like Sabastian!" he laughed looking at the lobsters and making faces at them.

"Sabastian?" Nick asked a little worried.

"The crab from The Little Mermaid," I smiled. Nick pulled me closer to him. Nick leaned in unsure of himself and kissed me gently.

"Ali, that's my son over there and I want us to be a normal family. Marry
me Ali," he said sweetly.

"No," I shook my head.

"Marry me Ali," he repeated.

"No," I whimpered.

"Ali, marry me," he said staring in my eyes. Those eyes I couldn't refuse
his eyes. I had never stopped loving him, and ever since that day I regretted walking out on him.

"Okay," I said about to cry. We hugged tightly. I walked over and picked
up Hunter, "Honey, you know how I told you you're father was a famous
singer and couldn't be with us?" I asked him.

"Uh huh! That's where I got my talent!" he boasted.

"Hunt, this is your daddy," I smiled as I put him in Nick's arms.

"I've missed you, well actually I don't remember you, but if I got to chose a daddy, you'd be it," he smiled.

"Well, I'm definetly glad you're my son," he smiled and tickled him. I checked my watch.

"Oh my Lord, Hunter its already five, we gotta pick up your brother and
sister," I told him.

"Actually, could I spend the afternoon with him? I think we have some
catching up to do ," he smiled at me.

"Yeah, I gotta talk to Turn and Kat about this anyway," I replied.

"I can't wait to see them again," he said excited.

"Yeah, but they know what you did. If they're not too nice at first, don't worry, they'll attach themselves to you again soon," I replied. Nick pulled me in for a short sweet kiss. I gave him my address so he'd know where to go. I went to the studio and go t Kat and Turn.

"Kids, I'm getting married," I said bluntly as we went home.

"To who? You haven't seen anyone since..." Turn trailed off.

"Well, Nick," I told them, "I saw him at the grocery store today and I don't know, this just feels right," I said excited, "He's out with Hunter right now, so when you guys see him be nice, okay?"

"But mom! He made you cry! I'm the man of the house and I can't have
that!" Turn said getting protective. He was always doing that now. He acted like he was 14.

"I've missed him," Kat commented.

"Only cuz he liked you better," Turn said snobbishly.

"Both of you jus be nice," I warned.

"Nick, I don't get it," Hunter said confused.

"Get what?" he asked.

"Mommy said you were famous, but I've never heard of you," he said with an unsatisfied look.

"Have you ever heard of the Backstreet Boys?" he asked him.

"Yeah, Turn says they're gay. Especially the blonde one, but I've never seen a picture of him," He laughed, " I don't know what it means, but its a
funny work. Gay," he laughed uncontrollably.

"Well, I'm that blonde gay Backstreet Boy," he laughed back. Hopefully
there weren't reporters around to hear that. It would have been taken the
wrong way.

"Do you like video games? Cuz I just got this new one, but Kat and Turn
won't play it with me. They don't like video games, even though I always see Kat playing this one call Mario Kart. Turn says only mean people play video games, but I'm not mean, am I?" he asked worried.

"Of course not and of course I'll play with you. How about we head back to your house and play," he offered.

"Yeah!" he cheered, "Nick, when am I suppose to call you daddy?" he
asked unsure.

"Anytime you want," Nick grinned and picked him up.

"Okay daddy," he said softly. Nick couldn't stop smiling. His son was so
adorable and didn't hate him for not being there. But as for Kat and Turn, he'd have to work on that. He pulled in the driveway to a large home. Much larger than my old house. He couldn't help but wonder how I could have afford something like that. He saw my car in the opened garage so he knew I was there.

Hunter ran and opened the door quickly.
