Jasper cried until his sobs faded, sniffled a few times, and then broke into giggles, his mood lifting completely.

He was still very young and didn't comprehend how hurt Shane might have been by Wade's actions. All he knew was that he had fallen into the pool on his own. "Mommy, I fell in by myself...

He told his mother it was his own mistake, not Shane's.

The nanny stood awkwardly, uncertain. "Maybe I was mistaken... I think Mr. Shane was trying to help Mr. Jasper."

Kelly furrowed her brow and looked at the nanny. "If you didn't see clearly, don't say things like that again." The nanny quickly lowered her head, clearly embarrassed.

Wade sighed, guilt washing over him. At that moment, however, his unconscious bias-whether intentional or not-became clear. He had, without realizing, shown a preference, treating one child differently from the other.

After a long silence, he finally met Kelly's gaze. "Are you planning to take Jasper with you?"

Kelly shook her head. "Zev's busy with work, and since you seem to have a lot of time on your hands and enjoy the children's company, I thought it would be good for Jasper to stay with you for a while."

Wade let out a sigh of relief.

Kelly then turned her attention to Shane. "That way, Shane will have someone to keep him company."

Shane, who had been tense, visibly relaxed. Children may not understand the complexities of adult relationships, but they certainly recognize loneliness. He just wanted someone to play with him. Jasper might be goofy, but his cheerful attitude always made Shane feel better. Jasper always told him what a great big brother he was.

"Shane is your responsibility, and you said you wanted Jasper around. Just make sure you treat them equally," Zev reminded Wade firmly.

Wade understood, but the truth was, parents are only human. Even with the best intentions, treating all children equally is impossible, even when they are your own. Inevitably, one child will always seem to get a bit more attention, a little more affection.

Kelly couldn't help but worry as she watched Shane.

With the Lynches involved, and this child being so sensitive and perceptive, she couldn't help but wonder how he would turn out. Would his strong personality remain intact as he grew, or would the weight of his circumstances shape him into someone different?
