One month. One month had passed. Courtney and Shayne managed to put their differences aside for their child. They were all working back like the old days. Let's just say, everything has fallen back to how it was supposed to be.

"Oh shit!" Noah hissed, while gripping on his phone.

This wasn't supposed to happen! They're screwed

Those two phrases kept filling his mind. He ran as quick as he possibly can, to find Courtney. He was so focused on his target that his surroundings became blurry.

"Sorry Joe!" he shouted after accidentally bumping his boss.

He finally reached the Show With No Name set, finding Courtney, Olivia and Shayne filming.

Noah saw how happy they are, laughing at some joke that Shayne said and Olivia's weirdness. He couldn't interrupt their shoot right at the moment, so he decided to sit next to Keith and watch.

He couldn't hold it any longer. The anticipation was killing him.

How should I say it? "Hey guys, guess what? Your secret is out!" No! That's not it. How do you tell this? Urgh! This is frustrating!

"Hey dude, you okay?" Keith asked with his hand on Noah's shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine, but I am a bit worried about Courtney and Shayne."

"How come?" Noah looked at his friend and sighed. He took his phone out of his pocket and showed him the picture.

"Oh shit..." he mumbled. They waited for Sarah or Sunny to call out "Finish", which seemed to have taken a long time before it was said and done. Courtney got out and instantly got her phone from her jacket pocket. It was constantly vibrating during the shoot and she didn't want to ruin the shoot.

"Hey Court-"

"Sorry Noah! My sister has been texting me for a while now and she said it's emergency. I need to call her now." She was contacting her sister before walking out of set. 

Olivia walked to Keith and Noah. She has been seeing that they were in stress about something. Olivia asked them what was the problem and Keith showed the picture on Noah's phone. Shocked, she covered her mouth, before letting out a shout.

"Have you told them?" Liv asked them. Both shook their heads.

"I was gonna tell Courtney just now but she said there was a family emergency..." Noah explained, with Keith agreeing.

Courtney walked back in the building, with everyone glaring at her. It was not a normal thing for every single coworker to be giving you looks and not knowing what for. As she looks at everyone, it wasn't just a normal stare. There was something in their eyes, which give out worry and fear.

"Hey Ian, what's going on?" she approached Ian, who was looking at his own phone. He seemed concerned and worried. This was something, especially for Courtney and Shayne, that they knew would happen, but they didn't what it be to happen. 

Instead of getting an answer, Ian gave his phone to Courtney.

"I suggest that we make a video about it here or on your channel to clear things up with the fans. I'm sorry Court!"

It was a picture of the three of them, Lucas, Shayne and her, in the park. This shattered her heart. She was trembling and she knew that this was out and all of the fans saw the photo.

"Who took this photo? Who posted this online? Who is responsible for this? WHO IN THE HELL WOULD DO THIS? WHO-" 

"Courtney! Calm Down!"

"CALM DOWN?! HOW COULD I? This is a private thing! No one was supposed to know this!" tears formed and started cascading down her cheeks. Her knees felt weak and she was about to fall, but was caught by two strong arms, wrapped around her waist to stabilize her.

Shayne was shushing her, whispering soft words and wisdoms to her. She let out a small whimper and let her tears falls. She needed this right now. She had no clue on what to do. All she wanted was to keep her son away from the cameras. She knew that this was impossible and that sometime soon, people will discover this secret.

"It's okay Courtney... We'll work this out..."

Two days had passed since the incident with the leaked photos of the small family. She made a video on her own channel, explaining all the things her fans should know. To her surprise, they were all supported about it.

She was sitting on her desk, watching Shayne and Lucas interact with each other, with Olivia, Keith and Noah, trying to teach their adopted nephew. She loved seeing both of her important boys. She couldn't have managed this whole fiasco without Shayne by her side.

What would happen if Shayne and I were back together? What happens if we split up again? I don't want Lucas to get involve. I want to him to have two parents, who would be there for him.

Shayne seemed to have caught Courtney staring at him. He looked at her in the eyes and smiled. She mouthed 'Thanks You' and gave a smile, before looking back at her son.
