Who's Jack?

The rest of the workday went on easy because neither Jack or Anna brought up the subject. They had to leave earlier now to go pick up Taylor.
“Mommy!” he yelled running torwards Anna smiling.
She bent down with open arms “Hey baby!”
She picked him up and he hugged her neck tightly. They were on the way to the bus stop when Taylor started staring at Jack.
“Who are you?” he said cutely.
Jack looked down at him funny, then realized that Anna hadn’t told Taylor yet. When he looked at Anna, she was already looking at him wondering what to say. Jack bent down.
“Hi, I’m Jack. I’m a real good friend of your mama’s.” he smiled. Taylor continued to stare at Jack real hard, without a frown & without a smile. Taylor looked up at Anna.
“Honey this is my friend Jack. He’s going to be staying with us for a while.” Anna smiled too trying to be reassuring for Taylor.
Taylor looked at Jack, back at Anna, then back at Jack. The he suddenly grinned.
“Okay,” he said adorably. He held Anna’s hand, then took Jack’s too.
