Second Chance

Disclaimer: I don't own Ninjago, just the story.

Lloyd arrived at the bakery at 1 like he agreed on with Britney.  He was very nervous.  He was going to discuss what to do about their child as well as ask Britney for a second chance.  He walked in and saw Britney at a table with Max in a stroller.  He walked over to them.  "Hey Britney," Lloyd said nervously.

She looked up at him with a small smile.  "Hey Lloyd."

Lloyd sat down.  "How are you doing?"

"I'm good.  What about you?"

"Good."

"Now, what we're actually here to talk about.  Max."

Lloyd looked at Britney seriously.  "Britney, I do want to be a part of his life...but not just his."  Lloyd grabbed Britney's hand.  "I know that what I did to you was wrong.  I should never have just left like I did, especially since, I really liked you."  She didn't say anything.  "All I'm asking for is a second chance."

"I don't know Lloyd."

"Please.  Just go on a date with me."

Britney looked at Lloyd skeptically and then looked at Max.  "I would like to go on a date with you, but who would watch Max?"

"I can ask Jay and Nya.  To be honest, besides my uncle and mother, they are the only ones that know about this."

"Why?!" Britney asked very skeptically.

"I'm just scared of the reactions of the others.  Jay and Nya are parents now.  They have twins that are only a couple months old.  I'm sure they would be happy to watch Max for us for a night."

Britney nodded and smiled.  "Ok."

"Is Saturday at 7 good for you?"

"Yeah.  I'll meet you at your team's monastery."

"You know where it is?"

"Everybody knows where it is."

"I guess I'll see you then."

"Yeah."

Lloyd got up and gave Britney a hug and then went to Max.  "Hi Max.  I may not have expected you, but I promise that I will be the best father that I can be.  I love you."  Lloyd kissed Max's forehead before heading out.

Saturday at the Monastery

Lloyd was finishing up getting ready for his date.  He was dressed in a green suit and tie.  He walked out to the living room where Jay and Nya were putting Justin and Alex in their playpen.

"Hey Lloyd," Jay said when he noticed Lloyd enter the room.  "Are you ready for your date?"

"Yeah," Lloyd said nervously.  "Are you guys sure you're ok watching Max?"

"Of course!" Nya said.  "It will give our kids a friend to play with."

Wu and Misako entered the room.  "Is Britney here yet?" Misako asked.

"No," Lloyd responded.

"I can't wait to meet her and Max."

Unexpectedly, the others entered the room.  Everyone thought they had other plans for the night.

"Hey Lloyd, why are you so dressed up?" Kai asked.

"I thought you guys had plans tonight," Lloyd said.

"We were going to see a movie, but we couldn't decide which one," Cole replied.

"Now, answer my question," Kai demanded.
