**Tyra P.O.V.**
"Hey babe!"
"Yeah?"
"Have you seen my keys?" I can't seem to find those things anywhere.
"No. Why do you need them? I thought we were taking my Jeep?" Brice said while walking into my room.
We were getting ready to go see Nathan, but I had to find my keys.
"We always go in your Jeep, I feel like I'm neglecting my poor baby," I whined then pouted.
"Fine. But you have got to stop pouting, babe. One of these days, we may not make it out the door," I smirked and shrugged my shoulders.
I continued to walk around looking for my keys when I heard Brice jingle them behind me. I let out a girly squeal and ran to go get them from him.
Right when I was just about to snatch them out his hands, he lifted them above his head and smiled.
"What's the magic word?" Ugh, he can be so childish sometimes. I folded my arms across my chest with a bored expression resting on my face.
"Can I just gave my keys?" He shook his head, still smiling like he just got a new puppy.
"Nope" he said, popping the 'p'. I crossed my arms and pouted.
"Fuck," he mumbled. He tossed me the keys and started walking out the door.
I quickly grabbed my phone and stuffed my feet in a pair of Uggs. It was kind of cold outside and I wanted to be comfortable with my leggings and oversised sweatshirt on.
I passed by Brice sitting on the couch, slightly pissed, while scrolling through his phone. I sighed and walked over to sit on his lap.
"Are you seriously mad at me right now?" He nodded his head, still going through his phone.
I sat my phone down beside him and cupped his face with both of my hands. I bent down to give him a quick peck on the lips, but he wrapped both of his arms around my waist, pulling me onto his lap, deepening the kiss. Our lips moved together in sync for a good minute or so, until I pulled back to breathe.
"Still mad?" I asked smiling. He smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"Eh, I'll get over it," I rolled my eyes and stood up. He laughed and stood up, too.
Picking up my phone, we began to head to the door, out to my car. I pressed the unlock button on my car remote and got in.
Brice got in on the passenger side and started to google the address to his dad's house that Kate had sent earlier.
He put his phone on the phone holster on the dash so that I could see, and took my phone to connect it to the Bluetooth on the radio for music.
*********
"I think this is it," I said looking up at the casual two story house.
Brice got out the car first, I followed after getting both of our phones, since he seems to have forgotten his on the holster.
I slipped my phone into the side of my boot and put his in his pocket when I reached him in front of the car. Pressing the lock on the car remote, we continued to walk to the front door.
A few second after ringing the doorbell, the door swung open revealing a young woman who appeared to be in her mid or late twenties. She smiled at us and leaned on the door frame.
"What can I do for you?" She asked Brice, not even acknowledging the fact that I'm standing right next to him.
"Is my dad here?" He asked while grabbing my hand. I think he noticed how she was practically undressing him with here eyes. To be honest it was making me uncomfortable and I think he felt it too.
She looked down at our intertwined hands and stood up straighter, quickly knocking the flirtatious smile off her face.
"Yeah, he is upstairs with Nathan."
She led us up the steps to a nursery-like room. There was a crib in one corner and a shelf with baby books in another. The first thing I saw when we stepped in the room, was a man looking into the crib. He had a nice, navy blue suit on, with a gold watch on his left wrist. Once he heard us walk in his eyes snapped up to Brice. I can see were Brice got his eyes from.
"Blue?"
"Hey Dad," his dad walked over to him and gave him a hug. They hugged for couple minutes before releasing each other.
"Its been a while," he said. Brice just nodded and grabbed my hand again. This small action didn't go unnoticed, his dad smiled when he saw our hands.
"And who is this young lady?"
"This is Tyra. Tyra this is my dad, William."
"You can call me Billy," he smiled at me warmly before politely shaking my hand.
"Nice to meet you, Billy." My smile was just as accepting and polite. As soon as we had dropped our hands, Nathan began to cry.
"Can I...." I trailed off hoping he would understand what I was asking. Thankfully he did. I walked over to the crib and peeped over.
I reached in and picked him up. He smiled at me and wrapped his small fist around my index finger. He started to giggle when I wiggled all my fingers and poked his cheeks. Gosh I love babies.
"He really likes you," Billy walked up to me with a smile. I smiled at him then back at Nate.
"Yeah, I guess so."
Billy looked back at Brice with a look that I could only register as serious and concerned.
"Blue, can I talk to you outside?"
"Uh, yeah. I'll be right back, babe," he kissed my forehead and went outside with his dad. I noticed how Billy smiled when Brice called me 'babe', its a good think I can't blush, otherwise I would have been a bottle of ketchup.
I continued to play with Nate until they came back, honestly I could have stayed there all day and not have gotten bored at all.

**Brice P.O.V**
Looking at my dad, I can't help but notice how much he has changed. He no longer have bags under his eyes. He looks like he shaves more often. He dresses better and looks like he isn't stressed anymore. I guess its safe to say he looks much better since he left my mom and I.
I can't really blame him though. Yeah I was mad at first, hell even hurt, but it took a while and I got over it and forgave him for it.
"How have you been?" Guess we have to go through the small talk first.
"Better then I have ever been," I answered back, peeping through the door at Tyra playing with Nate. She really was good with him. She made him laugh a lot and that seemed to make her happy.
"You really like her, don't you?" my dad said, noticing me looking at her. I cleared my throat before speaking again.
"What did you need to talk to me about?" We aren't that close for me to spill all my feelings for a girl out to him.
"Oh yeah. I was wondering if you would like to keep Nate for a little while, you know, so you both can warm up to each other."
Was he serious? This is my first time speaking to him in about 3 maybe 4 years, this is even my first time seeing Nate!
"What the hell Dad! I just met the kid. I don't know the first thing about caring for a younger brother, or baby!"
"Come on Blue. Please just do it for me....nevermind, do it for Nate."
"Why?"
"I have a business trip and I don't have anyone to watch him. You know damn well I can't leave him with your mother."
He just pushed the wrong button.
"Kate is not my mother," my hands clenched into tight fist by my side. I closed my eyes and took a couple deep breaths before unclenching them and shoved them into my front pockets.
"How long?"
"Just for a week," he answered quickly.
"Fine, pack his stuff. We will be waiting downstairs."
He reached to give me a hug but I took a step back. He dropped his arms with hurt in his eyes. I almost felt guilty, almost.
Walking back inside, I saw that Tyra made Nate fall asleep and he was just sleeping in her arms. My dad walked over to the dresser on the other side of the room and begin to pack his belongings.
Tyra looked between the two of us with a confused expression on her face.
"Nate is coming with us."
