Bad Boy's Baby's Mama

Chapter Seven: Shopping

"So now your going shopping with the guy?" Jason asks for the hundredth time this morning after I told him what I was doing with my day off.

"It's for kid stuff for his apartment." I say and flip the omelet I was making for him over in the pan.

"Honestly Courtney, you are being so naïve." He says making me turn around and look him in the face.

"How the hell am I being naïve?" I ask my voice raising a few octaves making Bella and Jackson look up from their cheerios which they had scattered in front of them.

"It's like you're blind to what he clearly wants out of you." I feel my blood pressure raise at his ignorance.

"He wants to see his kids, is that a crime? He's doing the right thing!" I say trying to remain calm, not successfully.

"Whatever you'll see eventually." Jason says and returns to reading the newspaper.

"Good column today by the way." He says changing the topic.

"Thank you." I say not in the mood for small talk. I hear a buzz and head over to the buzzer.

After I let the nanny in I go to my room I begin getting ready. After I am I head for the door after saying bye to the kids and the nanny whom was around my age if not older. I head down to my car and get in taking deep breathes trying to calm myself down from me and Jason's argument. I put the key in the ignition and head to a smaller town we agreed to meet in, because there is no way In hell I am shopping in NYC for baby stuff. It is ridiculously priced and the stores are super crowded.

I park in the store parking lot we agreed on and wait. Not long after his baby blue 03' GT pulls into the spot beside me. I get out and offer him a polite smile.

"Hey, how are you?" I ask.

"Still got the same car from high school I see." I say motioning to the car he used to do burn outs with when he was leaving the school parking lot.

"Hard to part with her, so many good memories." He says patting the hood and smiling fondly.

"God that car pissed Jace off, whenever you drove by he would start ranting about how unfair it was his parents wouldn't buy him a nicer car." I say making Isaac's ego visibly inflate.

"To be fair my parents didn't buy it that was all me." He says.

"Oh I know that's what pissed Isaac off the most. Honestly I loved it when you drove by, because that's the only time he would stop trying to get into my pants and we could have an actual conversation." I say shaking my head at the memory of the worst relationship I have ever been in.

"God I hate him." Isaac says with a chuckle.

"Same here." I say and sway back and forth on the balls of my feet not knowing what to say.

"Well should we go inside?" He finally asks breaking the silence.

"Of course yeah." I say and head for the automatic doors.

"Wait so you're telling me at two years old he decided he was a vegetarian? How does he even know what that means?" Isaac asks after I told him not to get the pepperoni pizza lunchables, because Jackson wouldn't eat it.

"He never said vegetarian, because yeah he doesn't know what it means, but if he finds out something's meat he won't eat it. He started after my dad told him his hamburger is made out of cows. I think it's cute honestly." I say defending my baby boy.
