"Nathan Ace get back here!" I yell at my three year old bundle of joy, who's running around the parks playground, laughing.

"But Mommy, swings." He pouts, making his puppy eye pop. Sighing, knowing I can't say no to those adorable blue eyes, I gesture him to go on and he sprints towards the swing set as fast as his small legs can run. I chuckle slightly and look around for a place to sit where I still can keep my eyes one him. I find a large oak tree where a place a blanket and sit down on. I take out my book and pen and start writing.

I might just tell the story from where we left off. Being Lukes girlfriend was amazing. He was a true gentleman and I'm extremely lucky to have had him in my life for as long as I did. Yeah, did. A couple of months from my 18th birthday I found out I was pregnant. How unfortunate can I be? The first time I have sex, I end up pregnant, but when I look back now I see no mistake in what happened. Little Ace is the love of my life and I don't know what I would do without him. A couple of months after I found out I was pregnant I broke up with Luke and as cliche as it sound, I didn't tell him I was pregnant. I know he has the right to know but the band was at their best and I didn't want to pull them down. Thankfully, I had applied to a few colleges and universities without telling anyone and got accepted on Bath Spa university in England with a major in creative writing and a minor in photography. It was a dream come true to come back to England and with agreements with the school I was able to go there but also raise Ace. Of course I had a lot of absence, but since my assignments were good, I was able to continue studying at the university. I got a small-ish apartment only a 10 minute walk from the school and with a park right across the street. It was perfect for my little family. Nathan Ace Hemmings was born on March 15th 2017 at 12:03 am, a week earlier than planned. Fortunately, I had Caleb, Nate and my parents with me the whole time and I couldn't be happier. Of course, I wished that I had told Luke about the pregnancy and that he was with me through it but I kept telling myself that it was for the best. Here we are three years later, living with no worries. Ace has yet to ask about his dad, which I'm grateful for but I know I can't hide it forever. I'm at my last months of school, and honestly, I don't know what to do when I'm done. It scares me that I'll have to find something new to do. I'll need to get a job to provide Ace and I, but It's hard being a single mom. But if Ace is happy, I'm happy.

"Excuse me," I look up to find the source of the voice and see the tall, blue eyed guy that I haven't seen in almost four years. Standing next to him is Ace with tears running down his cheeks.

"Oh Ace, what happened?" I ask and pull him into my embrace. He immediately snuggles into my neck and mumbles: "I fell off the swings. It hurt Mommy." I can't help but smile a little at his small voice.

I look up at the tall man who's standing awkwardly fidgeting with his hands and say: "Thank you for helping him." I smile up at him shortly before looking down, hoping he doesn't recognise me. I mean, I barely recognised him. He's become taller, his blond hair is now slightly darker and is no longer in a quiff and his vans are switched out with boots. I must admit, he looks hella good.

"Skylar..." Damnit.

"I know it's you." I sigh and Luke sits down next to me. I see his hand extend just to softly rub Ace's back. "Who's the little guy?" The question that I've feared the most. I pull Ac away from my neck just to sit him in my lap, facing Luke, instead.

"This is Nathan Ace. Can you say hi and thank you to Luke?" I ask Ace, tickling him to get him in a better mood.

"Hello Wuke and thank you for helping me." He smiles and jumps up to run to the playground again.
