~RECAP~
"Hey, you wanna stop by the candy shop first," I asked motioning ti the small shoppe standing to my left, the walls painted light shades of pink and brown and a cream color with little ginger bread and snowmen in the window. He nodded eagerly and I stepped inside, glad to get out of the cold. We walked up to the counter and ordered something small to drink. A few minutes of waiting and the woman and the cash register gave me our drinks and I payed her then walked away with James to find a table. Once James was almost finished with his hot chocolate I told him we had to leave. As we passed by the garbage can, I thought I recognized a girl. "Hey, Brianna!" Age lokked up with a face covered with what looked like nutella. Her face-or what was left of it ;)- turned bright pink as she locked it all off and laughed and managed to get out
"Hi! How have you been, what are you doing here?"
"Ive been good! Life's a little hectic but its pretty good." I smiled and mmotioned to James "We stopped by on our way to the park."
"Oh, he looks bigger than the last time I saw him!"
"That's because the last time you saw him, he was 6 months old" I laughed then looked at the clock
1:55
"Ooh, ive got to go, ill talk to you later?" She nodded and we said goodbye before leaving
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-**-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
~CONTINUED~
"How...about..." I started, looking around the park "How about you go play on the slide." I told James and he ran to the -now covered in snow- sandbox. "Or you know you could go there. Your choice." I mumbled to myself sarcastically and walked over to sit on a bench and sat down. I decided to play cut the rope while I was waiting and I got so lost into it that I didn't realize when...
"BOO." I jumped up and nearly dropped my phone to see Liam sitting there, a smirk planted on his face. "You're really bad at this ya know." I slapped his arm when he said that.
"YOUUUU!"
"Me...?" he smiled and i have to admit i almost melted
"Holy shit, you scared me!" I put my hand on my heart and felt my heartbeat "Jesusss Li!" He smiled "What?"
"Nothing..."
"Cmonnnn"
"You called me 'Li'...."
"Stop trying to change the subject. YOU SCARED ME FOR GAWDS SAKE!"
"I know, that's what I was planning to do." He laughed and I smacked his arm again
"Jerk." He smiled and then his eyes drifted off to look at the ground
*Liam's P.O.V*
(A/N sorry if it sucks)
I started playing with my fingers and thought for a while until she spoke
"Are you nervous?" Shit, (A/N sorry haha) is it really that noticeable?! "Yes, it is. Aha."
"Fine. Yeh I'm a little nervous... a lot..."
"Do you still want to meet him...?" I quickly looked up at her
"NO! I MEAN, YES. YES IM READY I STILL DO OH CMON BAILEYYY"
"Okay... but...just remember...." she looked me in the eye "If he asks...then...you're not his dad." Oh. She looked like she saw my disappointment. "I'mJustNotSureIWantHimToKnowYetDontBeMad...Okay?" Oh... :(
"Uh...yeh...okay."
She nodded and turned to face away from me
"James...! Come meet....my....friend..!" Well then.... I guess I deserve it..I did do something worse to her than call her just my friend...And now I feel bad. Jeez Liam, what's wrong with you?
I suddenly saw a little boy around two or three with brown hair and brown eyes and a hat boots gloves and a purple scarf run towards Bailey then sat on her lap. He looked at me with curiosity in his eyes and after a few moments, he opened his mouth to speak but Bailey quickly started speaking.
"James this is Lia- uh Li. Yeah. Li's good. Li. This is Li." She looked at me. I guess I'm going to be known as Li then. Ooookay then.
"Li, this is James. Ma baby boy." She smiled. "James, don't be rude. Say 'Hi'"
"Hi..." he said in a small voice and I laughed
"Well hello there. How are you, James?"
"Um....good .... "
"James," Bailey started "Why don't you go play so that Li and I can talk." The little boy gladly slid off her lap and went to go play and we watched him for a while. Then I turned to her.
"He's a shy lad, is he..?"
"Oh, no." She smiled
"What do you mean?"
*Bailey's P.O.V.*
"James isn't shy. You just...didn't give him time to really introduce himself..and he mightve asked you something first but like I said, I'm just not ready." I shrugged then laughed at Liam's expression. "I mean he was going to probably ask you if you were his dad. And that you skipped to asking him how he was when you has just met him so..he was confused." He seemed to understand now.
"I see..."
........................
........................
*peaceful silence*
.........................
..........................
He was about to say something but whatever it was, James cut him off
"Mummy kin we go on de swwiiiings nowww?"
"James," I started "I really do-"
"Ill push him on the swings...um if that's okay with you." Liam volunteered. I looked at James
"James is it okay if Li pushes you?" He thought for a while
"Okay..." he grabbed Liam's hand and pulled him towards the swingset. I watched them. Liam smiled and before lifting James onto the swing and started pushing him.
I smiled to myself. They look cute...almost...father and son like... Shut up Bailey. James started giggling and I heard Liam laughing too. I watched them for a while llonger before i started playing on my phone and thinking again. And I'm thinking that, maybe, just maybe, this was a good idea.
*Liam's P.O.V*
Well he's talking to me and letting me push him on the swings. I guess we're off to a good start, right? He giggled and I couldn't help but laugh at it. James is cute. Hes cute. My son- wait..no..he's not allowed to be my son yet... I'm going to have to prove to Bailey that I can be a good father. I have to be his father.
I want to be his father.
I missed three years of his life and I don't want to miss any more.
"Cane I cawl you Unco Li?" I turned to bailey and she nodded
"Yes, you can. Can I call you.... Mini Me?"
"Nawt shore whatt dat means but OK. Can we go to the...uh...over there." He pointed towards the big tower with the three slides and a pole.
"Oooof course we can." I smiled and lifted him off the swing then let him run away while I sat back down next to Bailey.
*Bailey's P.O.V*
"You're doing well so far." I said to Liam as he sat down " He likes you, I can tell. Ill give you points for that." I smiled at him
"You really think so?" He said, looking at James.
"Yeah."
"Thanks." We sat there in silence watchimg James until... "Bailey?"
"Hmm?" I turned to him
"Don't be mad..." '
He raised his hand to my cheek slowly and pulled me closer to him. I stood frozen as I realized what he was doing. Only a few seconds later, I pulled back slowly and wiped my mouth on my hand once.
"Liam..we...we probably..shouldn't...." I bit my lip and looked at his watch. "Look...ive got to get going...James..?! Cmon, lets go baby!" Liam stood up
"Can I...can I walk you home..?"
"Not today Liam," I smiled guiltily at him "Maybe some other time. Ill text you later...Bye.." I took James' hand
"Bye Bailey, James."
And I left.
................................×.................................
As I walked home that day, with James, I'm the cold, I thought about what had happened earlier and thought three things.
1) I genuinely think James would like Liam as his dad.
2) Maybe I did like that kiss.
And three;
I should've let Liam come.

Ooh and last one..
Did you all hear about the shooting in Connecticut?
I found out yesterday when I came back from school...I went on instagram and found out a bunch of things and I started crying...
18-20 children dead.
All of them 5-10 years old... 6 adults - was it?- dead also.
I was REALLY sad because I thought about it and its sad sk I cried.
How..how could he just look into their eyes...when they're asking him pleading him not to kill them...telling him that they just want Christmas... and then pull the trigger like. Really dude? I really want to know why he would do that to innocent kids. And before Christmas. I hope he rots in hell.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those affected by the shooting.
I really did feel bad. Its just not right.
