What's Yours Is Mine
Episode 1
Jay turned around to see who called him
Jay
Huh? Kyle? what's wrong?
Jay turned to face Kyle, carrying his son, Carl, in his arms.
Kyle
Ahh! I've missed you, little one!
He hugged Carl and Carl hugged back.
Jay
Haha.. Kyle, it's been so long. How was your trip?
Jay smiles as he takes Kyle's travel bag.
Jay
Should we go home? I'll make you food.
Kyle
Mhm! that'll be wonderful!
Kyle
it's been so long since I've taste your cooking!
Kyle
Should we go home and eat food now?
Carl
Yes! Yes! Daddy makes many food!
He says sleepily. He got up and went to the front door to see his girlfriend holding a kid.
Jay
Huh? Jane? Who's kid is that?
Carl's Mom
I'm sorry.. I can't take care of him.. let's.. Break up too..
Jay
What are you talking abou-
Jane, the kid's mom, gave Carl to Jay.
Carl's Mom
His name is Carl. he's .. Our kid.
Jay
What..? How? W-when..?
Jay
Jane.. is he the reason why you haven't shown your face for months? You could've told me-
She kept quiet, not facing Jay and their son.
Jay
T-then.. L-let's raise him together...?
Jay was a stuttering mess, fully awake now.
Carl's Mom
W-.. Why should I take care of him too?..
Carl's Mom
I never wanted a child! So why should I stay and take care of him? This is your fault, so you take responsibility! I ain't taking care of no kid.
She cried, tears running on her cheeks. She snapped at Jay, before stopping and having a guilty look on her face.
He was now left with Carl, who was sleeping peacefully in his arms.
He knew he couldn't put his kid up for adoption.
So he decided to take care of him instead.
Jay
Y-yes? Do you need something? Do you want to be carried?
Jay felt touched and hugged him too.
Jay
What's with the sudden hug, hm?
he kisses Jay in the cheek
Somehow, Jay wanted to cry for the first time in what seems like forever.
He felt so touched by his son's action and the next thing he knew, he was crying.
Carl was panicking seeing his father cry for the first time. He immediately rushed and placed his tiny hands on his father's face, wiping it messily whilst trying his very best to comfort his crying father.
Carl
D-dada.. No cry.. *sniffle*
Poor Carl was about to cry himself—he couldn't bear to see his father cry.
Carl was now fully crying, his own tiny hands now focused on wiping his own tears.
Jay
Yes, yes.. I won't cry..
Carl
Dada won't cry anymore...?
Jay smiled brightly; making Carl do the same. After a while, they both calmed down and Jay was currently wiping Carl's tears and snot with a clean cloth.
Just as he finished, there was a knock—which shocked both of them.
There was yet another knock.
Carl gripped onto the hem of his father's shirt tightly
Jay
Stay here, alright? Dada is gonna see who's in the door.
Carl nodded and sat on the couch, waiting patiently for his father to come back.
Jay
Long time no see! What brings you here?
Kyle was Jay's best friend and since they were in their 2nd year of highschool but when Kyle moved to another country for personal reasons, they didn't see each other.
Kyle
Yo! My boy! I missed you!
Kyle
You still look pretty as ever!
Jay
Please stop saying that.. Haha..
Kyle froze when he saw the kid.
Kyle
Jay.. You have a kid..?
Jay
H-huh? Yeah.. but I'm not married..
Kyle
What? You aren't? Why? where's his mom?
His voice turns to a whisper.
Jay
Carl, this is Kyle. He is your.. Uncle.
Kyle awkwardly introduced himself to carl
Kyle
Uh, I'm your daddy's friend.
Jay choked on his own saliva
Jay
Carl, baby, if you say it like that, it makes it look like I'm a loner...
Jay
Just.. come in already, geez.
Jay let Kyle come in his house.
Episode 2
Jay is cooking dinner while Kyle and Carl sat on the dining table, waiting for Jay
Kyle
Did you do something fun with your classmates and teachers?
Carl then proceeded to chat with Kyle.
A few minutes later, they were still chatting and Jay finished cooking.
He placed the food on the table while Carl and Kyle helped Jay with taking the plates and placing them on the table.
Carl
Ms. Teacher gave us this letter.
Carl nibbled on his spoon
Jay
Did you do something bad?
Carl
I've been a good boy like daddy and uncle Kyle said!
Jay
Hm, alright. I'll read it later.
Carl went to bed and Jay was on the couch along with Kyle.
Kyle
What's in the letter?
Jay
Oh, I'm about to open it.
Jay opened the letter, shaking a bit. He's never really received a letter from teachers before, so he's really worried that Carl might've done something bad.
He then read the contents inside the letter.
Jay
"Dear Mr. Jay,
This letter is to inform you about Carl. But it's not bad, so there is no need for worries. Actually, me, and the other teachers have noticed that Carl is very smart, specifically in Math, English, and Science. We also talked to the principal about this and they wanted to give little Carl a chance to go to a private school and is also willing to pay for his tuition. Your little Carl is really special, Mr. Jay. I hope you can accept our offer."
Jay read the letter with a shaky voice.
Kyle
W, woah, what's wrong?
Jay
I'm.. Just relieved.. Sorry.. *sniffle*
Jay
I really thought Carl did something bad or something bad happened to him..
Kyle smiles, reassuring him.
Kyle
Come on, The little kid I know won't do that.
Kyle
Plus, if he did hurt someone, it's probably self defense.
Jay
Oh, and.. I should meet with Carl's teacher tomorrow.
Jay
Are you sleeping in today?
Jay
Yeah. Carl gets happy when he sees you in the morning.
Jay
Now, I'm wondering if he sees me as his dad anymore.
Kyle
You're still his dad.
Kyle
That won't change, Jay.
Episode 3
Jay
Don't you have work today, Kyle?
Kyle
Ah, we have a day off today.
Kyle
Should I go with you to school?
Jay
If it's fine with you, then sure.
Carl
Oo! Is uncle kyle gonna come to my school, dad?
Carl
Yay! Let's go quickly!!
Carl hurried and ate his breakfast.
Jay
I'll be quick, I promise~ *chuckles*
Kyle
Be patient, kiddo. Your dad's still washing the dishes.
Carl
O-okay.. I'm going to prepare my bag! Uncle, please help me...
He looked at Kyle with his puppy eyes.
Kyle
Argh... I can never say no to those eyes.
Kyle groaned, cute things were always his weakness.
Jay
I'll be done here when you guys finish packing.
The three of them stepped in the car—Kyle sat on the driver's seat whilst Jay made sure Carl was safely seated on his seat with the seatbelt on, of course.
Jay then sat on the passenger's seat after making sure Carl was comfortable.
Jay
Isn't it supposed to be my turn to drive this time?
Kyle
It's fine, I love driving anyway. *smiles*
Kyle started the car and they drove off to school
