LUCY SHEPPARD

Ten years ago Jake kissed me and ran. Eight years ago I learned the reason why. Five years ago, Jake came back for a night and I let him have what we both wanted, knowing he wouldn't be able to stay in town after all he went through.

But that night led to a kid. And while I wouldn't take it back for the world, now that Jake's made a surprise visit and finds out he's a dad, I can't let my love for him sway me anymore.

JAKE WHEATLEY

Ten years ago I stole Lucy's first kiss because I thought it'd be the only thing I could have from her. Five years ago I took something even more important. And now I've found out that night led to a kid. Lucy's and my kid.

I can't be a father, not when mine was the way he was. But I can't bring myself to leave Lucy's side this time. Maybe if it's just a little, I won't turn out like him.
