Accidents Happen - CLOSED

Conner entered Build A Bear and grabbed Cody's favorite animal and began the stuffing process. He was still upset over running into his ex.

Zoe walked into the store, and smiled when she found Conner. She walked over, placing a hand on his back. "Hey," she said softly, coming to stand beside him.

Conner tensed a little before relaxing at the sound of her voice. He turned his head towards her and smiled. "Hey, you," he smiled.

She smiled, leaning over and giving him a quick kiss. "Whatcha making him?" she asked, looking down at the stuffed animal.

Conner looked at the stuffed animal and groaned. "It was supposed to be his favorite animal, which is a wolf, but I grabbed a donkey instead," he said.

Zoe opened her mouth to reply but closed it, not wanting to laugh. After a moment, she looked at him. "You don't know the difference between a wolf and a donkey?" she asked, fighting the smile. She reached over, grabbing a wolf off the shelf. She then took the donkey. "I'll build this one." she said softly, kissing him on the cheek.

He smiled. "I do. But when I came in here I was agitated. I ran into Cara earlier and she pissed me off," he admitted as he started building the wolf.

"What'd she say babe?" She asked, running her fingers over the fur on the donkey. She was slightly worried about how Cody's mom being around was going to affect the little boy.

He sighed. "She implied that she would take him from me," he told her.

"We both know that she can't do that. The judge already gave you full custody." She said, reaching over to take his hand. "I'm here for you if you need me."

He pulled her in for a hug. "I know she can't take him legally from me, but that won't stop her from trying to take him illegally," he murmured into her hair.

"We'll just have to be extra careful with him." She said, kissing him on the neck before leaning up and kissing him softly.

He returned the kiss and hugged her tightly. "Thank you for being so wonderful," he said.

"I could say the same thing," She murmured, resting her head on his chest.

"How have I been wonderful?" he asked.

"I'm pregnant, with someone else's baby. And you're okay with that. You're okay with the fact that I have to be around him a good bit because of the baby. Not many guys would be okay any of that." she said softly.

He rubbed her back. "Yes, but it goes both ways. I already have a son with someone else and you opened your arms and heart to him. You helped him trust women again and I could never thank you enough for that," he told her.

She smiled up at him and leaned up, kissing him softly. "I love him like my own, and I will do everything in my power not to let anything to him as far as his mother is concerned."

He kissed her deeply. "I appreciate it a lot," he said after he broke the kiss.

Kasie sighed as she pulled her books out of her locker. She could feel the exhaustion from being up all night with her son, who was cutting more teeth. She slammed her locker, turning and running smack into somebody.
