Episode 308: I'm Already ThereBowie cradled Nate in his sweaty arms. Lila played with her fingers. Curran Gable softly banged his head against the far wall. Bowie nodded to the enemy as Nate let loose an enormous yawn. "It’s good you showed up.""Good for my wife," Curran grumbled. "I don’t know why you’d threaten to tell her in order to get me here. You clearly want the brat. I don’t." True. Curran hadn’t so much as snuck a peek at the baby boy. Bowie didn’t understand that attitude for a second. "I thought you deserve the chance to change your mind. If hearing you’re a dad doesn’t do that, then fine, walk away. I’ll happily love Nate like he’s my own." Lila smiled at him. Eyes teary. She was starting to grow up. Finally. Dr. Marques pushed through the door and asked everyone to be seated. "This will stay in this office, correct?" The doctor narrowed her gaze at Gable. "Confidentiality is my job. I’ve had a lot of practice." "I’m sure you have an impeccable bedside manner." Bowie rolled his eyes at the flirtation in the jerk’s raspy delivery. There to discover if he’d fathered a child outside his marriage and he hits on the married doctor. "Let’s get down to business shall we?" Dr. Marques opened a file. An eternity passed. Bowie held Nate tighter. Had inviting Gable been a mistake? No. He always felt guilty for not telling Jesse’s father; even though the guy still wasn’t fit to so much as play catch with him. Bowie always feared they’d lose Jess to the secret. At least this way there’d be no secrets. A smile lit the doctor’s face. "Congratulations Bowie. Nate’s a lucky little boy."
