Jon looked over at Skye and after them coming to understanding that he deserved to see this kid up close. He deserved for Skye to introduce him to their son. Which was something he never thought he wanted until this very moment. He never wanted something so much that he couldn’t have. This boy was bonded to these people but the animal in Jon was starting to roar. Earlier in the evening Jon saw that raging against Skye would be dumb. She was sensitive, that wasn’t the plan. He truly wanted to hurt her and everyone involved but Skye wouldn’t help him. He laid out his plan to get Miles back. They had to look like a couple in love and if he had to play that with Skye well he would. He knew this was an uphill fight against the Hessington’s but he would fight for his child. He’d move heaven and earth for Miles and didn’t even know him. He never felt so much longing and love all at once as he looked over at Skye. In his life he never wanted to hit a woman so badly but Skye today made him understand how someone could squeeze the life out of someone else in rage. He was enraged and she thought he was using drugs again. His fury and mind was working faster than it ever had. Moments like this his abuse of pills felt like he needed it. He needed to pop a pill to ease his nerves. All decisions right now was to get Miles.
“Was it a hard delivery?” Jon asked, looking at the road almost at the Kincaid mansion. “Were you alright? Tell me about how he came into the world? Skye I know you were on drugs but you know my family is huge on family. Why didn’t you give him to Miranda or my mom? I know you didn’t know but after you did. You knew back then because Lowell right? You said earlier that Lowell thought Miles was his grandson. So you knew back then after the DNA test against Jackson and we could have I don’t know talked to them. I guess I understand your motives but I wish you would have let me know you know. I think that was really selfish and shitty to do to me or Jackson. I can admit Skye I have more history with you but I wasn’t trying to dismiss you I was dismissing that time in my life. I was in a bad place, and what we had represented that. Now I know we at least gave something beautiful in that darkness.”
Skye had packed her things almost like she was in some sort of haze after what they did back at the condo she was pretty sure it wasn’t love or hate for her and it was emotions that she didn’t want to deal with. The way he just rolled off of her as he was done and quietly demanded that she take him to see Miles. She had packed slowly not even sure why she was going with Jon maybe because she’d somehow always felt safe with him as a cop and a good man, a man that she had hurt so deeply. They had barely spoken on the drive over to the Kincaid mansion and instead she looked out the window at the snow on the ground and closed her eyes. What in the hell was she doing? Charles had warned her that if she ever showed her face up around him again she would regret it but even he couldn’t of been that dumb to try and take a shot at Jon after the Kendrick trial. The thought alone sent a slight shiver down her spine she hadn’t told Jon about the day she signed and instead she looked over at him when he asked about the birth. She had been clean then and she knew up till that point there had been concern over Miles’s birth one that Whitney had watched over like a hawk before she had bedded Ryan and begun to hate Whitney they had actually had common ground for a while.
“It was hard he came two months early, the doctors said it was a combination of the drugs. I had an epidural and they told me I could hold him for a few minutes, I didn’t. I was clean the entire time I was pregnant from the moment I found out and I know you don’t believe that but it’s true it was part of my agreement with them. I honored that for him and me too. He spent time in the NICU and I got an apartment close to them and found a steady job.” Skye said quietly looking over at him she had agreed to that part not holding Miles when she signed the adoption agreement. It had killed her but once Miles was out or her body she knew it was over and it wasn’t because Whitney or Ryan were bad people they were good parents. She had been confused at the time and had tried to back out Merci had told her that Jon was out of the VA and doing okay and she thought about showing up and telling both him and Jackson. Charles had put a stop to it and even now she was not going to tell Jon, Charles reach went far beyond the mayor’s office in Atlas Falls and if he wanted he could end her life, Merci and Jon if she told what happened. “Jon we talked about this your family they all hate me. Lowell called me last year told me he knew my secret so I came. He paid me money to try and seduce Jackson and then told me that Miles was not his grandson so that was when I really knew deep down that he was yours.”
