"Old habits die hard"
_____________________

"MOMMY I DON'T want to go with daddy today. He never spends time with me when I'm over there" Ciara says. Ciara is Jack's kid. He may or may not have gotten his high school sweetheart pregnant when they graduated. Charlotte Johansson. His baby mama aka the love of his life. She had her life planned out with Jack and how they were gonna have kids in their late 20's, but that time came sooner than expected.

"Ciara it'll be fine. You know you have to spend time with daddy on weekends." "And plus he's on tour and while he's here he can take you to one of his concerts." Charlotte says while nudging Ciara's shoulder. Ciara groans. Charlotte smiles before saying, "Now put on you're shoes and get you're bag it's time to go." She says whilst taking her purse, and her key off the counter before they both exit the door.

CHARLOTTE KNOCKS ON jack's door with Ciara by her side. As she's about to knock on the door for a second time the door bursts open and out comes a random man with long hair and a beard. He had on baggy clothes and a beanie. He kind of looks homeless, she thinks to herself. "Um I'm here for Jack.." she says awkwardly. He looks at her then at Ciara. He stares at them for a couple of seconds then snaps his fingers out of realization. "Oh! You're jack's baby mama right?" Charlotte scoffs. "Well yes, but also no." "It's whatever. I'm Urban." He says putting his hand out for her to shake. She accepts and shakes his hand.

"Come in." He says. Charlotte grabs Ciara's hand and they both go inside. She looks around the house admiring the detailed furniture and the paintings. The house was very big with lots of rooms, that were very decorated. The house was kind of modern but kind of minimalist at the same time. The interior designer did her job really nicely, she thinks.

"So where's dad?..." Ciara says whilst looking around. "He's in the studio, which is where we going right now." "Actually we already here." Urban says stopping in front of the door to the studio. He knocks gently before opening the door revealing jack in sweats leaning over the soundboard. "Yo jack. Your baby mom's is here." Jack immediately looks up. He pauses taking a second to admire Charlotte after all these years, noticing all her stretch marks and her curvaceous body. Charlotte admires him too. She admires his beard and his bright blue eye, after all these years they hadn't changed one bit. Urban looks between them and clears his throat, cringing at the awkward interaction.

Jack gets up and picks up Ciara giving her all his best hugs and kisses. "How's my baby girl doing?" Ciara giggles. "Good. I won the spelling bee at my school last week." Jack gasps. "YOU ARE SO SMART!" He yells whilst giving her all of his praise. Charlotte smiles at the interaction. Jack looks up at Charlotte. "What's up char. You look good." He says leaning back in his chair with Ciara in his lap. Charlotte nods, "thanks. You do too." She says barely keeping eye contact.

"Um I'm gonna go get water. Urban could you show me the way?." She asks. Urban nods and fist bumps jack before exiting the door. Charlotte sighs heavily tucking her hair behind her ears. "That was awkward wasn't it?" Urban asks smirking softly. She chuckles, "yeah it was." She says walking down the stairs behind urban. "What happened with y'all anyway?" He curiously asks. "Um, it's hard to explain. He just kind of left at the wrong time." "And that was when I was pregnant with Ciara. I was only six weeks pregnant so we didn't even notice." She says softly. Urban passes her the water. Offering her some sympathy. "But y'all are good now. Right?" Charlotte sucks in a breath, not knowing what to say. They hadn't really talked or had a conversation to solidify what happened they are. "We haven't really, you know, talked about what we are." "I mean we're good but like you know." Charlotte stutters. Urban nods understanding.

"Yeah I understand-" Urban says before getting cut of by jack and Ciara running down the stairs. Urban and Charlotte both walk out to the bottom of the stairs. "What are y'all doing? Y'all look y'all just ran a marathon" Charlotte says chuckling at the sight. They all laugh. "Mommy can I go with daddy on his tour?" "PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEE." Charlotte sighs deeply then nods her head. "Fine" Ciara squeals and then goes to hug her. Squeezing her tightly. Charlotte gets a notification on her phone. Charlotte grabs her phone out of her pocket reading the message. "Oh shoot. Alright I need to get to work." "Ciara be good for daddy ok?" Ciara nods. "Bye baby. Bye jack, bye urban." She says exiting the door. She gets to her car but before she opens it jack comes up behind her causing her to flinch. "You can't sneak up on someone like that!" She says hitting him lightly in the chest. "Sorry. Um I just-" "I haven't been able to get you out of my mind. Like since forever. And I'm so sorry I left you like that, high and dry." "And I know you've gotten over it but I haven't. And I just-just." He sighs turning away. Charlotte bring a hand to his cheek and turns him gently towards her. She looks at him, tenderly and lovingly.

"Baby, I know you're sorry. And I am too. Alright?" "So we don't have to get all cheesy and corny." Jack chuckles. "Sooo what about a date next week?" Charlotte says smiling.  "Absolutely." Jack says just before grabbing her cheek and bringing her closely towards his lips. Charlotte makes the first move, kissing him passionately. She caresses his hair pulling him closer to her. Jack groans and moves his hands lower to her lower back. He gives in and squeezes her butt causing Charlotte to moan, loving the feeling. She wraps her one leg around his waist kissing him harder. They're both eager to feel more of each other but their time gets interrupted by urban clearing his throat. "Sorry to interrupt but uh Ciara is waiting for jack." He says scratching his head. Jack and Charlotte sigh deeply and look at each other. "Alright ima call you later, promise." Charlotte nods and hugs him. She kisses his cheek and waves him goodbye. As she gets into her car she smiles as she thinks to herself,
