BAILEYS P.O.V.
We entered the ice cream parlor and I bent down to James' height.
"James you want bubble gum ice cream,right?" He nodded. I smiled,it's his favorite. "Okay good,now...go find a table for us." James ran off glancing at tables and sometimes...testing...them....strange child.
"Hi how can I help you?" The girl at the counter.asked us in a friendly way,smiling.
"Hey,uh...can I have a scoop of bubble gum icecream in a...cone..and a chocolate one for me, also in a cone..."
"Of course! Okay and what about you?" She looked af Carter and he hesitated
"I would like...two vanilla scoops...in a cone."
"Is that all?"
"Yes,thank you." She glanced behind us and turned to Carter
"Is he...yours?" We both looked at eachother then at James who was singing 'What Makes You Beautiful' very loudly, "He's cute."
"Oh,nooo,no. I'm uh I'm his uncle." He pointed at me "That's his mom....." The girl looked at me
"What's his name?" She smiled
"James."
"That's cute..." she walked away and a few minutes later,came back with our ice cream
"Thank you," I said taking my ice cream and James'
"No problem!" I walked away but they kept talking
"And this is for you..um..uh..."
"Carter."
"Well this is for you Carter."
"Thanks."
"WAIT uh Carter Id Like To Uh..talk to you...more often..." I heard Carter laugh a little
"You...want my number...?"
"Yes! I mean! Um no! Ugh, no nevermind that's not what I meant! Uh yes if you're okay with it I would love to have your number...." I smiled. Shes a bit awkward but her and Carter would go perfect together.
"Okay then her,take ma phone..."

"Tank you mommy!"
"You're welcomeee..." i thought for a while "Baby,where did you hear that song?"
"Wha soung?"
"The one you were just singing."
"Ohhhh. Dessika." I nodded. Jessica must be a fan.
"Oh..." I replied as Carter sat down across from me and I smiled teasingly. "You got her number?"
"Yep."
"Wow."
"Yeah."
"Well.....ain't this a first."i joked and He pretended to be hurt
"For your information, I have gotten plenty of girls' numbers."
"SURE...."
After that, we ate our icecream and went home.
_______________________________________________
I feel guilty,..and sad for James...something happened earlier when I was tucking him into bed. I felt bad for keeping it this way and i wish I could tell him more but I cant and it hurt me to see him like that but...
few tears gathered up in my eye as I remembered what happened
*A little bit earlier around 9pm*
I smiled to myself as I easily put James into bed but my smile faded when I saw a tear on his cheek.
"What's wrong baby?" I was at his side immediately rubbing away the tears.
"Nothing."
"James, please tell me what's wrong so that I can help you."
He stood quiet and refused to speak for a while.
"James if you dont tell me then I am going to be very upset."
Still no answer.
"Okay then I guess I will just be forced to stay here Allll night long.."
"I give up mommy..." he said quietly and I gave him a confused look
"Give up...? Give up at what?"
"I don wanna play anymowe."
"Play? Play what James?"
"The daddy game! I don wanna play the daddy game anymowe. I neva gonna guess who daddy is, I. Give. Up!" He started crying and I held him against me
"James no...don't give up...you'll guess who your daddy is one day...I promise you will." He shook his head.
"James want clue."
"Clue? Oh..okay...what clue?" He looked at me,tears in his eyes
"James want ta know....what's daddy's name?" I stopped for a moment asking myself whether ti tell him or not. I really dont wwant him to know who Liam is yet but he does have the right to know what his name is right? I mean its not like he's gonna go on google and look up 'Liam Payne'...right? I sighed
"You really want to know don't you? You're not giving up..."
"Peasee...?"
"Okay James, fine. You're daddy's name....your daddy's name is Liam......Liam Payne." He mouthed the name out to himself for a while then looked up and smiled at me.
"K mommy,I still play." He lay back down and closed his eyes. I got up but before I left, I bent down and kissed his forehead.
"Goodnight baby....Sleep tight..."
