"Are you sure about this?" Jacey asked her boyfriend for the eighth time since arriving at their current location.

"Yes, I'm sure." Spencer reassured her again. "I trust you." The mother stood there, it was obvious to Spencer that she was nervous. "I'm sure she'll like you. Just be yourself."

"What if she doesn't like Mia? Or the fact that you're not her biological father?" Jacey questioned, motioning to the eight month old in her arms. Hearing her name, the baby looked at her mom then her dad.

Capturing her blue eyes gaze at him, Spencer stared at the baby. He forgot that Mia wasn't his, which was odd for him, he never forgets anything.

"We don't have to tell her that." Spencer whispered, taking the baby out of Jacey's grasp. Mia squealed as she was being held by the genius she knows as her father. "At least not right now, or never."

"Yeah," Jacey nodded. Spencer pressed his lips against her forehead, giving her a reassuring kiss.

"You ready?"

Jacey took a deep breath. "Yes."

"It's been a while since we've seen you, Spencer. Your mother is doing okay. There's been a few outburst but nothing major." One of the male nurses shared with Spencer. Spencer didn't say much, he only would nod. "She's over there."

Seeing his mother seem so distraught really bothered him, he didn't want her to think he left her here to rot. The only reason why she's here is because he's in no position to take care of her.

Spencer stood there, forgetting his track of time. The feeling of not being able to face his mother was so sudden.

Jacey took notice of his behavior, she gave his hand a reassuring squeeze. She was letting him know that she was there for him.

Mia was starting to take notice of Spencer's discomfort, so she started to whimper. Hearing her soft cries, Spencer bounced the babe in his arms.

"Do you want me to take her?" Jacey asked.

"No, it's fine. I got her."

The couple walked over to the lady who sat quietly to herself. "Mom?"

At the sound of her son's voice, Diana Reid looked up. Her blue eyes connecting to him. She smiled softly. "Spencer."

Then her eyes drifted to the baby in his arms. Mia laid her head against Spencer's shoulder, putting her hand in her mouth once again.

"A baby?" Diana asked curiously. In her eyes, she sees a baby with light brown skin, curly sandy brown hair, and blue eyes. The baby had a dimple on her chin, that was almost similar to Spencer's. She had a button nose and faint rosy cheeks. Her large blue eyes stared back at her. "Spencer, why didn't you tell me I had a grandchild?" Her voice broke, she was hurt that her son kept a big secret from her.

Spencer's eyes went slightly wide. Diana really thinks that he's Mia biological father. Spencer made eye contact with Jacey. She gave him a small smile before nodding at him to reply to his mom.

"I didn't know how to tell you. I'm not married to her mother."

Dian's scoffed. "So what? Is the mother here?"
