Good morning, Nathan.

Good morning, Haley.

Today I will be at job interview. Can you watch Jamie today?

Sure. Anything for you two, Haley.

Thanks, Nate. You are the best. I'm really sorry for leaving you.

Hey mommy and Nathan.

Good morning, my baby Jamie.

Good morning, big guy.

You are going to spend a day with Nathan today!

Yay! Thanks, mommy. I can't wait to spend time with daddy! Uh I meant Nathan!

Jamie, I'm sorry but he's not your daddy.

I know I didn't meant to say that.

It's okay, Haley and Jamie.

Anyway. Thanks for making breakfast, Nathan.

No problem, guys.

Good luck, mommy. I hope you will get your job as teacher! Your name will be Ms. James!

Yeah i hope, Jamie! Your name will be Mr. Keller!

(Jamie and Nathan's smile fades)

What's wrong, guys?

Don't be mad, mommy. I want to change my last name to Scott.

Uh. You aren't related to Nathan, Jamie.

Can I, Nathan?

It's up to your mommy.

Please, mommy?

No. Nathan and I never been in a relationship. (She had to lie)

Yeah your mommy is right, Jamie. I'm sorry.

Well it's 8:15 am. I have to leave now. I love you, Jamie. Be good to Nathan today. (Kiss)

I will, mommy!

Nathan, thanks for everything.

No problem, Haley.

Hey, Nathan?

Yes, Jamie?

Did you and mommy used to date or kiss or something like that?

Jamie. I'm sorry. I can't answer this.

Please? Also, I heard a woman talked to my mom. She said Haley James-Scott!

Uh. I'm sorry. Ask your mom not me. I'm not right person to answer this.

Tonight

Hey I'm here.

Hey mommy.

Hey, Haley.

Did you guys have fun?

Yes! we played a lot, and many more. Thanks, Nathan!

Actually Jamie have a question that I couldn't answer. Ask her, Jamie.

Did you and Nathan date or kissed or something like that before? It looks like because I can see it in your eyes.

Uh, Jamie. Nathan and I used to date.

Oh. When?

High school. We were stupid and young, Jamie.

But why did a woman in store called you Haley James-Scott!?

I don't know. Probably she thought I am still with him. We broke up long time ago before I met your daddy.

That's cool, mommy. Good night, mommy and Nathan.

Good night, Jimmy-Jam.

Good night, James Lucas.

It's okay, Haley. Out of all kids, your son is my favorite one. He's brilliant one. (Smile)

Thanks, Nathan.

No problem, Haley. Can we talk about our relationship?

Uh. Sure.

Okay. I have looked in divorce papers.

I don't want divorce, Nathan. (Tears coming from her eyes)

Okay. I have also looked in annulment.

What? No please don't. 

You left me. I had nothing. I want to be single again. Here's your ring, Haley.

Keep it, Nathan.
