Several Months Later
Hope was hanging out at her parents house, watching Klaus outside playing with Nick.
"Mom, you know, you're right. Nick does need a father. I keep going out with these guys and they're just not good enough for him."
"Nick will like whoever you like."
"That's the problem, mom. I don't like anyone."
"You know what the secret is? You gotta find someone you have something in common with. Like your dad and I."
Suddenly Hayley got an idea.
"I just thought of someone perfect for you!"
Shaking her head. "No, mom! Please, don't!"
"He's handsome and very smart! You'll love him!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
Friday night, there was a knock on Hope's door. She opens it and sees her date.
"Well, hello! Boy, Hayley didn't tell me you were beautiful!"
Hope smiles. "I'm surprised. That's usually the first thing she tells people, but thank you. Come on in."
He walks in, smiling, leading him into the living room.
"This is my son, Nick. I'm gonna go finish getting ready so just make yourself at home."
He smiles and nods, sitting next to Nick.
"Hey, little guy! How you doing? What're you watching, huh? You watching some TV?"
He takes the remote from Nick. "Here, let me show you."
He turns it on a football game and Nick just looks up at him before hitting a button, seeing a commercial, smiling and pointing to the screen. The man turns it back on football and it turns into them going back and forth.
Suddenly there was another knock and Hope answers the door, seeing it was Kai. Then she notices he's dressed up.
"What are you all dressed up for?"
"Oh, I got myself a hot date tonight."
"Well, you better call your hot date cause I don't know how late I'm gonna be."
He chuckles. "Oh, yeah, right! Your mom set you up, right? Nine-thirty, tops!"
"Don't count on it!"
"Besides, my baby'll wait for me all night!"
They walk in and Kai follows her into the living room as she looks at her date. "Gary, this is Kai, the babysitter. I'm just gonna go freshen up a little."
Kai walks over and shakes hands with Gary. "Hey, how you doing?"
"How're you, Kai?"
"Good. Just watching the game, huh?"
"Yeah, I got money on this game."
"So I understand you're an accountant, right?"
"Yeah, a CPA."
"That's great! You and Hope will get along great! You know, she's a CPA."
Gary nods. "Yeah, her mom told me."
"Yeah, it's gotta be hard, being a mom and a CPA. But Hope, she's a tough girl."
"What do you mean tough?"
"Well, she hates it when guys like open doors for her, or try to pick up the check? Really pisses her off!"
He nods. "So she's liberating, huh?"
