Chapter 4

** Stella's POV **

"Be careful baby. Look you have ketchup all over your face". I said wiping Jason's face while he kept eating fries. 

After picking up Jason, we went to eat with Hunter. And Jason was surprisingly happy about it.

He was usually hostile with men. By usually, I mean always.

"Mommy! I'm fine". He said with a grown and trying to push my hands off. 

"No you're not". I said and wiped some more before releasing him. "Now you are."

Hunter was looking at us with a small smile on his face.

"So Jason. Do you know what you wanna do when you get older?". Hunter asked as Jason looked at him.

"Yes I want to scare people and become rich". He said making Hunter smirk and look at me. 

"Good plans there." He said looking at him proudly. "Reminds me of someone."

I just rolled my eyes at him. 

Yeah, right.

"Mommy said it's scary." I said with a small laugh.

"Of course she did." He said. "She used to say the same to your father."

Jason stopped eating and looked up at Hunter with big eyes. "You know my daddy?"

"I do and he is really proud of you". Hunter smiled at him running a hand through Jason's hair. "You're a smart young man, that took good care of his mother."

Jason blushed a little before rubbing his cheeks making me hold back a laugh. "Really? And when is he coming to see us". He asked Hunter as I looked at him waiting for his answer.

"Very soon". He said as his eyes moved to mine. I lowered my gaze not knowing what to say. 

*****

I got into my house and Jason ran to his room.

"I think it's time we tell him". I said as I watched him disappear I'm the stairs.

I'm tired to this. He needs to know.

"Stella. We can wait. You don't need to...". I cut him off.

"I want to". I said turning around. "He deserves to know. That way, you guys will get to each other and hopefully, he will know what an arrogant jerk you are." I said clenching my teeth to keep my tears in.

"'Scare people and become rich' he said. How far is he from being a smart and arrogant billionaire like his father?" He smirked burying his hands in his pockets.

"You think this is a joke?" I asked angrily looking at him.

"Mommy?". I heard Jason's tiny voice. "Are you mad at Hunter?". He said making turn to him.

"No honey. But we have something to tell you." I said picking him up and we walked to the living room. 

I sat down with him on my lap his legs on each side of me. He looked at me and held my face with his little hands.

"Are you mad mommy?" He said as Hunter sat down next to us. 

"No baby, but would you be happy to meet your daddy?". He said.

"You are not mad at Hunter anymore?" He asked. "He's my daddy, right?"

I gasped looking at him with wide eyes, as my mouth opened and closed. I was completely out of words. 

What is happening?

I looked at Jason then Hunter who just had a smile on his face. And a proud. 

I shook my head and turned to Jason.

"Jason. How-"

"You promised you won't let a man in the house at night, if it's not Matt or my daddy or someone you will marry." He said using his fingers to count, before looking at Hunter.

They just smiled at at each other.

"So are we gonna live in daddy's house now?" He asked jumping into Hunter's arms whose eyes widen as he calls him Daddy. Jason hugged him as Hunter wrapped his arms tightly around him and sighed in relief closing his eyes. 

I looked at the scene with filled eyes. I couldn't help myself. I wiped a tear that rolled down my cheek before looking at them again.

He looked at me and mouthed "Thank you." I smiled at the sight before me but I thought about his question.

"Jason. You have to understand something". I said as he pulled away from the hug but stayed in Hunter's arms. "We are not married anymore". I said as Hunter's jaw tightened. "So we are not going to live with him." Jason frowned as he looked between Hunter and I.

"Why?" He asked as his eyes water. He quickly wiped it away and got off Hunter's laps. 

"Hey. Don't worry. Things will be better soon". Hunter said softly messing with Jason's hair. Jason looked at him hopefully.

"You promise?" He asked.

"I promise". Hunter said smiling as Jason hugged him. 

I looked at Hunter with furrowed eyebrows. How can he promise something like that?

"Honey. It's your bed time. Go to your room and wait for me. I'll be there soon." I said as he nodded.

He turned to Hunter. "Are you going to come tomorrow?"

"Yes." He smiled kissing Jason's forehead. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Yay!" He exclaimed before running toward the stairs.

I stood up and waited until I was sure he was all the way il before turning to Hunter.

"How can you promise him something like that?". I asked glaring at him. 

"Because I plan on keeping that promise". He said leaning back and looking up at me with a smile.

"You're talking like it only depends on you". I said rolling my eyes.

"It depends on you. I am going to win you back". He said looking straight into my eyes.
