Taylor is used to the fact he doesn't have a father. He only asked about his father whereabouts two times and Hailey had to lie to him

She sighs when she remembers the email she received earlier, did she really have to go? Did she have to tell him about Taylor's existence? But how's she going to tell him when he's going to marry her best friend? and the news will lead to unwanted situations and she hates that

The need to explain her reasoning is one of the reasons why she chooses to run away from her past

Shaking her head again for the second time in a few minutes, she choose to think about this wedding news later in the morning, after all, she still has three months to thinks about it or she can keep running away and bring her secret to her death and it probably will be easier to deal with

Hailey grimaces at the thought, will she really do that? Is she cruel enough to keeping Taylor from his biological father?

Hailey walks slowly to her son's bedroom and kisses his son's forehead gently, her little boy squirming in his sleep after she does that. She looks at him proudly My angel she thought as she watches him and then she prepares to sleep

She takes a good look at her son. There's no doubt about it, one look was all it takes to figure out who was Taylor's father. The similarities are uncanny and he sure going to be so much more like him in the future

Hailey caressing her son hair once again as she closed her eyes and giving him one last kiss, right now she has to start training her excuses for sure

"Mommy!! Wake up!! I'm hungry" a little squeal was heard and Hailey feel someone hugging one of her arms she chuckles while still closing her eyes

"You are? What time is it?" She asks while getting up and rubbing her eyes

The little boy beside her check the clock "Hmmm it's already 7 in the morning mom, let's eat breakfast" he grinned widely

"This early? Okay, what do you want for breakfast sweetie?" She asks her son, caressing his dark brown hair

"I want pancakes!!" He said loudly

"No need to shouts Taylor, I can hear you loud and clear" she reprimands her son gently

"Sorry momma," Taylor said while hugging her again and she hugs him back "Now would you help me preparing the food?"

Taylor grins widely at her, it has always been his favorite. Doing something together with his mother due to it always been just the two of them together

Even from a young age, Taylor already protective of her and he said his favorite thing to do was spending time with his mom, Hailey almost cried when she heard him said that, and she really glad she had him with her

While cooking a pancake together with Taylor Hailey hears her doorbell ring and she knows exactly who it was "Taylor honey can you open the door for me?" She asks while making a pancake in the pan Taylor nod his head

"Sure mom" and not long after she heard her sister voice calling her from the living room

"Hello, Sis!! How are you?" Her sister ask cheerful tone, she's peeking her head from the kitchen door

"Hello, Hannah! I'm fine why do you come so early this morning?"

"Well let me see" She fake pondering "Because I'm hungry and so I can having breakfast with you and my little nephew over here" Hannah continue said while messing with Taylor dark hair and make the boy letting out a huff of breath

"Aunt Hannah I'm not a little man!! I'm going to growing up so big so I can protect mommy" Taylor said while puffing his chest out to make him look like a big boy

Hailey and Hannah can't help but laugh at him "Sure champ now go help your aunt setting up the table"

After having breakfast together Hailey start preparing to go to work and dropping Taylor off at his school

"Mommy! aunt Hannah said she wants to drop me off today, can I go with her instead?" Taylor suddenly running to her already with his backpack in his back and he dragging Hannah along with him

"Yeah, today is my day off and I miss my little nephew here" Hannah smiled at her "Oh I want to ask you too, can I pick up Taylor after school today?" Hannah ask her with her pleading eyes

"Thank you, Hannah, sure you can, where are both of you going after school?" She asks her sister

Taylor and Hannah share a mischief look and suddenly Hailey becomes a little worried. Taylor maybe have all his father's good look but unfortunately, he also got Hannah troublemaker trait

"It's a secret between aunt and her favorite nephew, my dear sister. If I told you about it, it will no longer be a secret, right Taylor?" Hannah winked at Taylor instead of answering her question earlier

"Aunt Hannah I'm your only nephew so of course, I'm the favorite one," Taylor said while rolling his eyes in the 'duh' tone. Looks like he also inherited her touches of sarcasm too "and as much as I love you, mommy, aunt Hannah is right. A secret will be no longer a secret if many people know about it"

Hailey looks at them warily "Can you two promise me not to do anything dangerous?" Both Hannah and Taylor nod at her instantly

"Please mommy can I go with aunty Hannah?" Taylor plead to her, giving her puppy eye

"I don't know, something bad almost always happens when you two go together" Hailey still not convinced

Her sister is a troublemaker even from a young age and she always manage to get herself in troublesome situations and like her aunt, Taylor also has a little streak of mischievousness in him, and the two of them together surely going to make a trouble

"I promise we're not doing anything, dangerous sis, relax a little will you? and to assure you I just want to bring Taylor to my coffee shop today. I promise to give him a cake but Taylor insisted he wants to help me make the cake together with me, so today we're going to make cupcakes!" Hannah said while Taylor nodding his head along

Hannah decide she doesn't want to go to college but after high school, she goes to culinary school and now she has her own cafe shop and her cafe is pretty popular

Hailey smile at them as she just earns a 'me time' to herself today

"Okay you two can go, but don't forget to bring me some of that cake you both made"

"Ok, mommy!!" Taylor said cheerfully as he rushes to hug her and saying goodbye
