The next Saturday morning, September 12, I decided to go to see Jacob for the first time in over a year. I told Mrs. Smith I was going and she would have to take care of Kaely, if that was okay. She said it was fine, and I began walking towards the prison. It was about a half a mile away, so it didn't bother me much.

When I got there, I walked into the room and sat on one side of the glass. An officer brought Jacob in. He sat down on the opposite side of the glass and began talking.

"Hey Chloe.." He kind-of smiled.

"Hey Jacob," I said back.

"I've been getting your letters and pictures. I got new pictures just Tuesday. Who is this in this one picture? Is that Irwin?" He asked, showing me the picture I took of Ashton holding Kaely after she took her first steps.

"Yeah, how'd you know?"

"We were good friends when we were younger."

"Oh, he hasn't said anything about knowing you."

He ignored my comment, saying, "Kaely is so adorable.. I can't believe she's our child. It seems weird to think that, huh?"

"Yeah.. She's said her first words already.. And walked."

"Wow.. What was her first word?"

"Dada. Then a few days ago, on Tuesday, she said mumma"

"I can't believe it's almost her first birthday."

"Yep. About another month" I said, thinking how she was almost a year old..

"It seems like so much longer than a year for me, but I bet it seems less than a year for you."

"Yeah. It seems like a few days ago, I was in the hospital, waiting for her.." I laughed.

"I bet," he sighed, "so how is it going between school and Kaely?"

"I have a babysitter three days of the week, my aunt and uncle one day, and your grandma another day."

"That's good. I can't wait until I get out and I can see Kaely in person."

"Mhm" I said, thinking of what Ashton said, "I'm not letting him get anywhere near you again. And I'm not going to let him get near Kaely"

"Most of the time, what I do in my cell is think about you and Kaely. I think about our life together once I get out-"

"You think we're just going to be one big happy family once you get out? I'm still thinking about letting you even be in Kaely's life, I never said I'd marry you and we'd be a family. I never said that, not once. I said last time that I'd think about you being in Kaely's life, okay? I'm still not sure if I'll let that happen, though."

"I'm sorry, Chloe. I didn't know that you don't feel the same. I think we need to be together, for us and for Kaely. She needs to have a father figure."

"Lots of kids grew up without fathers, including Ashton. I'm just saying, not every child needs to grow up with a dad. Ashton had no dad and turned out fine, but better than fine.. He turned out amazing."

"You don't think Kaely needs a father figure?"

"She already has a few. I go to a youth group every Sunday night and take her there. The boys there treat her like family and love her. She's perfectly fine. And if she can live her first three or four years without a dad, I think she'll be okay if she doesn't have a dad the rest of her life, but she will have a father figure"

"And who will that be? Not me?" He asked, and we were interrupted by the door opening behind me.

"Babe!!" Ashton yelled from behind me, and I then knew that Jacob was not going to be happy about our relationship.

"Babe? Irwin, what the fuck are you saying?" Jacob was mad.

"Jacob Hayden Thomas.. How's it going?" Ashton asked. He had some explaining to do about their friendship.

"Terrible since you just come in here and call my girl babe!"

"Your girl?" Ashton and I ask at the same time.

"Just because she had your child doesn't mean she's your girl. And by the way.. She's my girlfriend now. Don't even try to get near her or Kaely once you get out of prison. You may be Kaely's father, but I'm the only one that's an actual father figure to her!"

"That's who you were talking about being the father figure, Chloe.."

"Yeah. My boyfriend" I added 'my boyfriend' just to piss him off even more.

"She's mine, Jacob. Also, I'm going to talk to her about why she came here alone when I told her not to. I want her nowhere near you."

"What if she wants to be near me? It seems like she wants to when she came here after you told her not to," Jacob fired back.

"I came here to update you on Kaely. I didn't come here to tell you I miss you and that I want you in my life because I don't want that. I'm being nice to you because you're in prison and you want to know about our daughter. And by the way, I didn't choose to have sex with you. You chose for me, and that's why you're in prison!" I yelled.

"Without me, you wouldn't have Kaely," he pointed out.

"Well, thanks for Kaely, but get the fuck out of my life," I fired.

"You're the one that chose to come here!"

"To be nice, but not any more. Goodbye, asshole!" I yelled, then walked out of the room with Ashton.

"Babe.. Why'd you come back here?" He firmly asked while walking back to my house.

"He told me when I was pregnant and visited him to come back here every so often. I thought that since Kaely is almost a year old that it was time to update him again, but that's not happening anymore. I'll send him pictures of her, but I'm not talking to him. We can even send him cute pictures of us together with the pictures of Kaely to piss him off if you want."

"Chloe.. I told you not to come here alone."

"I wanted to update him, okay?"

"Even if there is a next time you go in, tell me, got it?"

"Okay. But I'm telling you, there won't be a next time."

"That's good," he grabbed ahold of my hand, and we walked the rest of the way back home.

When we got back to my house, Ashton and I walked up the stairs, climbing over the baby gates on the third step and last step.

We walked into Kaely's nursery, and there was Mrs. Smith, feeding Kaely who was in her highchair.

"Can I?" Ashton asked me, and I nodded, then he continued feeding her. I watched as he finished feeding her and walked out of the room before he was done.

*Ashton's POV*

I finished feeding Kaely, and Chloe had walked out of the room. I was looking for the right drawer in Kaely's dresser to get a wipe since I dropped some baby food on the tray of the highchair.

While doing that, I found one drawer that had drawing pencils, nice paper, colored pencils, and some drawings in it. I looked at the drawings and they were amazing (some pics in media link)! One was a drawing of two people making out. It was amazing, just like the others. I looked closely at the picture and the people looked like me and Chloe.

I closed the drawer quickly as she walked in and stood up over her. I kissed her like the people were doing in the drawing. She whispered, "Ash.. What are you doing?"

"Kissing you like we are in that drawing" I answered.

"What drawing?" She asked me, and I opened the drawer, "this one," I answered, pulling it out.

"Oh my god.. I-" she paused, "I drew that after I first met you, oh god.."

I giggled, "so you met me then came home and drew a picture of us making out?"

"Actually, yes.." She seemed embarrassed.

"Well, either way, these pictures are amazing! Why didn't you tell me you draw?" I asked her.

"I don't know.. I just do it if I'm in here and Kaely's asleep. I do it to pass the time."

"You shouldn't just do it to pass the time, you should do it more often. I love your drawings"

"Thanks Ash," she smiled. She had a real talent.
