Emma's POV:
Carter and I just arrived in LA to visit my parents. My brother and sister are also going to be here, they both finished college and got their own places in LA. Carter is so excited to see his mama and papa and auntie and uncle that he won't stop talking about it. "Mommy, are we there yet?!" Carter asked for the 5th time as we round the corner to my parents house.
"Almost baby, we're about to park okay?" I reply, trying to be patient with him.
He smiles and then starts looking around, I park and then get out of the car. I walk around to the back and unbuckle Carter and then Carry him inside my parents house.
"Mom, dad, Carter and I are here!" I yell as I set Carter down inside the door. My parents walk out of the kitchen and Carter practically tackles them while screaming for them to pick him up.
"Well hello there my handsome grandson, we missed you!" My mom and dad say as they smother him in kisses and hugs. They then set him down and walk over to me. "Hey sweetheart we missed you too." My dad says and then they both hug me and kiss my cheek.
"I missed you guys also, and Carter wouldn't stop talking about how bad he missed you guys so I figured a small visit wouldn't hurt anything." I replied. But I then noticed my parents glancing at each other with worried looks. But before I could ask, Amanda and David walked in and Carter went crazy again.
"Mommy, look who's here!!" Carter yelled while tugging on my hand.
"Yes baby, I see. Why don't you go say hi to auntie Amanda and Uncle David yeah?" I told him. He nodded and happily ran to them in the living room, leaving me alone with my parents. "So what's wrong? Why are you guys glancing nervously at each other?" I asked my parents.
"Well sweetie, the trip was unplanned, and well Justin is home. Which you know is right next door. He might see him." My mom explains to me. It felt like my heart stopped and time froze when she said that. For 3 years I've hidden my son from his father, and now I've fucked it up and ruined everything. There's no way I can hide him now, especially since I'm sure Justin has seen my car already.
"Dad, what should I do?" I ask while trying to hold back tears.
"I think you should tell him. His career has settled down, and he's home from tour. I think he has a right to know about his son baby girl." My dad replies while looking apologetically at me.
"Maybe you're right, but I'm not going to tell him, I'll just let him figure it out if he does. I'm sure he has already seen my car and knows I'm here." I reply.
Just then Carter runs into the room with his lip pouted out, and using puppy dog eyes. "Mommy, can we pretty please go to the park? It's nice outside and I really want to go swing, and get ice cream!" He pleads with me. My parents laugh And leave the room.
"Okay fine baby, if that's what you want. Lets get your shoes on okay?" I reply. I pick him up and carry him into the living room to put his shoes on. Once they're on, we say goodbye to everyone and head outside. We walk to the park,while I hold his hand the whole way. We Play for a while, then Carter wants him ice cream and gets fussy. "Alright baby mommy will get us some ice cream, you sit right here on this bench and don't move okay? And no talking to strangers!" I firmly tell him. He nods his head and I walk about 20 feet to the little ice cream stand. I order him a small vanilla ice cream cone and turn around to walk back to him. I notice someone sitting down next to him talking to him, along with a little boy and girl. As I get closer I notice that it's none other than his father Justin Bieber. My son is sitting right next to his father and neither of them know it. I take a deep breath and walk up to Carter. "Here you go baby, it's vanilla your favorite." I say as I hand him his Cone.
"Thank you mommy, mmmm." He says as he licks his ice cream. Just then Justin looks up at me.
"Emma, is that you?" He asks me with curiosity drawn on his face.
"Uhm uh yeah it is, is this Jazzy and Jaxon? I remember you telling me about them." I ask him.
"Uh yeah, who is this little boy? He called you mom.." Justin asks while frowning.
"Well he's my son, Carter." I reply nervously.
"He's very handsome. Who's the father?" Justin asks.
"He doesn't have a father, well he does but the father has no idea he has a son. I think it's better that way. It makes things easier for everyone." I reply while looking down.
"Bieber, that little boy looks like you! He has your eyes and lips!" The little girl says to Justin while eyeing Carter.
"Jazzy please take Jaxon and go play. I need to talk to Emma alone." Justin says while shooing them away to the play ground. He looks at me and then Carter and then back at me.
"Hey little man, can you go eat your ice cream on that bench over there so I can talk to your mommy?" Justin says to Carter, which he nods in response and goes over to the other bench.
Justin's POV:
Oh my god. Emma is even more gorgeous than I remember, but she has a son. Jazzy said he look like me, and I think she's right. I think Carter may be my son. I'm going to ask Emma right now. "Emma, is Carter my son?" I ask straight forward. She sighs and looks away. A minute later she looks at me and has tears in her eyes. "Yes, he is Justin. I didn't want to ruin your career so I moved to Malibu and raised him myself. We had just met and I didn't want to throw that responsibility on you." She says while looking at me and crying.
"What's his full name, birthday, and how old is he?" I ask softly while looking her in the eye, tears present in my own eyes as well.
"His name is Carter Drew Bieber, he's 3, and his birthday is January 1st, 2015." She replies to me.
I felt my heart get a little lighter, and a smile came into my face. "You gave him my middle and last name? " I say while trying not to cry.
"Yeah, I loved the name Carter but my last name is Carter so I had to give him your last name. And I gave him your middle name because I knew I'd run into you some day and I knew it would make you happy, it connected him to you In a way even though you didn't know he existed." Emma said while slightly smiling and looking at me.
"Thank you Emma, can I meet him like formally? Can he know I'm his daddy? I want to be in his life, for good." I said sincerely.
Emma's POV:
Well Justin knows that he has a son now. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. He wants to be his dad, I'm happy but I'm terrified that he'll leave Carter or Carter will be mad at me for keeping his dad from him.
"Carter baby, come here now please. Mommy has something important to tell you." I say, and watch him stumble over to me.
"Yes mommy?" He says while looking up at me through his long eyelashes.
"Carter, this man here is Justin. He's your daddy." I say carefully.
He looks from Justin to me a few times then starts crying and hugs Justin. "Daddy? Why'd you leave me? Don't you like me?" Carter says while bawling and holding onto Justin's leg with a death grip.
"No baby I didn't leave you, I was just busy and I didn't know about you. But I love you very much and I'm here to stay now, okay?" Justin said as he picked carter up and put him on his hip. Carter smiled and kissed Justin's cheek. It was seriously melting my heart it was so cute.
"Mommy can daddy spend the day with us? And stay with us forever?"Carter asked shyly while smiling up at Justin.
I made a Decision right there because I knew Carter loved justin and I love justin too. "Yes baby, he can. Let's go be a happy family, yeah?" I reply making both the boys light up like a Christmas tree.
And we lived happily ever after, THE END! :)
