Jordan: Recognize this little guy? Our own masterpiece from years ago!
i scoff that isn’t my kid… i point to the boy that’s my daughter. i point to the girl
Jordan looks at the two children and then back at you, confusion evident in his eyes.
What? I swear this is what you gave birth to. A boy and a girl!
Are you sure?
She shakes her head who is he?
Come on, you must remember him! It's our son. The one we made together years ago. Don't act like you don't know him.
He holds up the child for her to see, a look of disbelief in his eyes.
Jordan holds the child a bit higher, so that you can get a better look at his face.
Jordan.. she says shocked where did you find him..
I found him at the local pound, abandoned. Seems he's been going through some rough times... just like the rest of us.
“Oh, yeah.” She smiles. “He was an accident, wasn’t he?”
Jordan looks at you with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "You mean our son? Yeah, he was an accident."
He shifts the child onto his other hip as he continues speaking.
"But accidents can turn into masterpieces, don't ya think?"
how did you get him she looks at her son
He smiles. I've been taking care of him for a while now. He needed a good home, and well... I couldn't just leave him on the street.
His eyes hold both regret and concern as he looks at her son.
"No I don't." I say looking at the kid.
Jordan's eyes widen, a hint of disappointment crossing his face. "You don't remember him?" he asks quietly.
He looks down at the child in his arms. "This is our son," he says gently.
she looks I haven’t seen him since he was born
Jordan smiles warmly, holding the child closer It's been a long time.
He was born just after we graduated from college. You were still working on your degree and trying to make ends meet. We decided it was best to give him up for adoption, thinking we couldn't provide a stable environment at that time.
But now... I've been doing some soul searching lately and... well, I thought maybe it was time we got reacquainted with our past mistake.
I don’t know what you’re talking about.
What do you mean "what I'm talking about"? This is our son! You can't just forget that we had a child together.
she looks at him where did you get him?
he looks at you with a smirk What do you mean where did I get him? He's our son, Beattite.
he shifts the child in his arms, who is now staring at you with wide eyes
