It was 3 months and 2 days to be exact. Jace was released from the hospital 2 months ago says mom. She even heard his parents telling him he may never see me again. Because he does idiotic things when it comes to me. I was of course greatly offended by what they said, he wasn't being idiotic, foolish maybe but definitely not idiotic. And to keep us apart because of it? How dare they? Anyway in my new school I've been popular with almost everybody of course there was people who thought I was a fake and just came back from a 10 years of boarding school.I have no idea where they get these lies from.

"Hey Skylar!"

"Hiya Sky."

"What's up Skylark?" Said the very weird Derek. I shook my head. Such a weird guy. I closed my locker and picked up my book bag, said bye to everyone and hopped in my car. I drove for 5 minutes until arriving at Kingston Elementary School. I waited for a few before Peter ran out and got in the car.

"Sky can my friends ride with us? I asked mom if they could stay over and she said yes." He said in a jumble of words.

"First. Please don't use that 'I'm a kid' voice, second did mom really say they could stay over?" I gave him a suspicious glance.

"Yes?" He said more of a question than a statement.

"Yeah right, it's Thursday not Friday. So no way in hell mom would let them stay." I started the engine.

"It isn't?" He asked.

"Of course it is but you just gave yourself up." I pointed out.

He groaned and yelled out the window "You can't come guys! Sorry! See you Monday!". He sat down again and put on his seatbelt. I began driving down the road. We arrived at the house 15 minutes later. I had to park across the street because a car was already parked in our secondhand spot.We got out the car,

"Who do you think is here?" I asked.

He shrugged, "Maybe someone took our spot because all of their spots were filled." We approached the door and I took out my keys.

"You might be right." I unlocked the door and turned the doorknob and, I let Peter walk inside before I went in. I closed the door and locked it behind me. I was about to head upstairs when my mom called me from the kitchen.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"We have a visitor and I'm cooking dinner so can you be a doll and bring this to them?" She gave me a plate of Macadamia Nut cookies and two glasses of milk. She smiled at me and I smiled a weary smile back. I carried it to the living room where my dad was chatting it up with a guy not in his age group. I couldn't see the guys face because he was facing back turned body facing the fireplace. I walked and settled the tray of cookies and the two glasses of milk. I handed one glass two my dad and handed the other glass to another guy, he had black hair and green eyes he reminded me of someone but didn't know who.

"This is my daughter Skylar." The boy smiled and held out his hand.

"Nice to see you again Skye." I looked at the boy confused I was about to turn back to dad to ask if we've met when I was little but he was on his way out the living room and gave me a reassuring smile. He motioned me to sit down so I did. He pointed to the guy again so I faced him.

"Have we met before because the years before 8 is still recovering a bit." I took a cookie and offered him one, he took one from the tray and broke cookie pieces off and ate it. Something about that was also very similar but my mind couldn't put a finger on it. He still hadn't answered my question. He itched his head a lot.

"I'll wait until you finish your cookie." I looked at him head tilted and finished my cookie. He reached his head and pulled on his hair, soon it was in his hand. A tiny piece of cookie escaped and went down the wrong pipe. I choked for a minute as he pats my back to help me. "Wasn't finish I guess." He smiled. I looked at him green eyes, light brown hair. It was him, it was really him, I was overwhelmed, he looked good as new, he looked perfect...'You may never see that girl again, ya' hear?" So many questions swirled in my mind it made me dizzy. My eyes fluttered, "Skye. Skye.Wake up" My eyelids shut over my eyes and I could feel my body fall across the couch.

"Skye wake up, wake up Skye." A soft musky voice whispered in my ear.

"Hmm?" I said not fully awake.

"Jayden wants you." The voice said.

"Jayden? What? Who are you?" I said eyes still closed.

"Jace, Jayden is your son remember?"

I sprung up out of bed eyes wider than a deer at headlights. I looked at Jace holding Jayden in his arms he was crying quite loudly.

"Oh my firecrackers, he sounds louder than a ambulance siren." I went back in bed and sat besides Jace taking Jayden in my arms, calmly rocking him back and forth and singing softly to him. He started to closed his eyes, I looked over to Jace, he had a small stubble of chin hairs he looked tired.

"Sorry, Jace. I was having a good dream about something, you can go back to sleep." I placed Jayden in his crib carefully so he wouldn't be wake up. I got back in bed snuggling close to Jace, to my Jace, he wrapped his arms around me. I'm surprised how life can go pass so fast, but then again moments like this and a life with the two best people in the world(besides for my parents), it goes by slowly like time was put into slow mo. But then again moments like this why would you want it to speed? I inhaled the scent of my Husband, to the father of my baby, and I couldn't be happier.

Sorry if this was a sucky Alternate Ending!
