“Thanks,” Lucas said just as Levi came up, taking the letter from Lucas. Lucas glared over at Levi and watched him as he read the letter.
“Fuck,” Levi said under his breath. “Guess I need to call Richard Price now, since we know it’s true.”
“Are you serious? Really, you doubted it?” Fallon snapped. “He looks just like Lucas, and I wouldn’t lie about something so serious!”
“So you say,” Levi said shaking his head before looking over at Fallon. “I bet you just love this, love that you are going to get that big-ass check. Man, you make me sick. Who keeps a kid from their father?”
Lucas’ temper was slipping and he was pretty damn sure that if Levi didn’t shut the hell up, he was going to kill him. “Shut up, Levi.”
Fallon and Levi looked over at Lucas. Fallon was breathing hard as Levi’s face was full of anger. “Leave her alone. Go ahead to the air field. I’ll have Fallon and Aiden drive me.”
“Whatever dude, I got phone calls to make anyways.”
After watching Levi get in the car and drive off, Lucas turned towards Fallon. She was still breathing hard, and her eyes were full of tears.
“I’m not looking for a f**king pay day,” she spat out.
Lucas nodded his head. “I know that.”
“Fuck him.”
“Yeah, I get that you don’t like him much.”
“I would never lie about who my child’s father is. I’m not that kind of person.”
“I know, Fallon. You don’t need to explain yourself to me. I got you and I’ll talk to Levi on the way to Edmonton.”
Fallon bit down hard on her lip and turned to walked away but Lucas stopped her by grabbing her wrist. “Stop, it’s okay. Don’t let him bother you.”
“He’s going to poison you, Lucas. He’ll have you believing those lies in no time.”
Lucas shook his head. “No, I would never believe what he says. I know you. Okay?” Lucas said before bringing her face up so that she would look him in the eyes. “I know you.”
Her eyes watered more before a stray tear rolled down her cheek. “Stop. We are fine. Aiden is fine. Everything will be fine.”
She nodded slowly. Lucas smiled before she pulled away and started walking towards the door. Lucas stood there taking in deep breaths as he looked back down at the letter that told him he was a father to the perfect little boy. He had already known that but seeing it on paper made it that much more real. A small smiled formed on Lucas’ face as the door opened and out came the perfect little boy he was just thinking about.
His boy.

Fallon was fuming.
She wanted to kill Levi Moss something serious, and if she ever got the chance, she would! How dare he! Fallon wasn’t a gold-digging whore! She could support herself, damn it! She didn’t need Lucas or his f**king money! Ah! Fallon had never been so mad as she rode in the passenger side of Lucas’ truck to the airfield. Aiden was running at the mouth about what, she had no clue, but she did know that she was madder than hell!
“Lucas, where are you going?” Aiden asked.
“Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver.”
“What teams are ‘em?”
Lucas laughed as a small smile form on Fallon’s face. Aiden was so country sometimes, it was so stinkin’ cute. “Oilers, Flames, and Canucks.”
“We don’t like those teams, huh?”
Lucas laughed again and Fallon joined in. Leave it to her baby to make her forget about that ass**le, Levi Moss. “No bud, we do not. You like one team and one team only. Who is it?”
“The Assassins!”
“Yup! Good job, bud.”
“Mommy, can we watch all the games when Lucas plays? Oh! Can I wear my number 22 jersey, too?!”
“Of course, honey,” Fallon said with a smile. Aiden let out an excited squeal, causing Fallon and Lucas to laugh.
“You know, they might be on a little late, Fal,” Lucas said as he turned onto the road that led out to the airfield. Fallon had been out there many times when she had to travel for company business, so she knew where they were.
“I’ll record them if they are on late,” she said simply. He nodded as he pulled into a parking spot between two other cars. Lucas handed Fallon his keys and got out to help Aiden. Fallon tucked the keys in her purse and followed behind them.
Then she stopped.
She had been so mad before that she hadn’t even realized that they were being so domestic. She had agreed to drive his truck back to her house, and to even let it stay there! Lucas wasn’t her man! What the hell was she doing!? Ah! He drove her insane with how he could manipulate her into doing anything!
What the hell was she going to do with him?
Fallon glanced up to see Lucas and Aiden walking away, so she quickly walked towards them to catch up. Aiden walked close beside Lucas, his little hand in Lucas’ massive ones as they headed towards the plane. It was such a sweet image that Fallon took out her phone and snapped the picture quickly. Even though Lucas drove her nuts, she did love watching him with Aiden.
Lucas stopped and handed his bags to a crewman before looking back at Fallon.
“I gotta go, buddy,” he said as he look back down at Aiden. Aiden was looking up at Lucas like he held the moon and Fallon’s heart broke at the sight. She had to look away but when she did, she saw other children saying bye to their daddies. When she glanced over and saw Shea standing with a pregnant Elli, kissing Shelli all over her face, she decided that if she was going to cry, it was going to be over her own child. Fallon glanced back to see Lucas bent down, hugging Aiden tightly.
“Fuck,” Levi said under his breath. “Guess I need to call Richard Price now, since we know it’s true.”
“Are you serious? Really, you doubted it?” Fallon snapped. “He looks just like Lucas, and I wouldn’t lie about something so serious!”
