Charlie still didn't know that Ben was his father.

Throwing Charlie into such a situation, expecting him to adapt and stay with Ben before he even had time to process the truth, would undoubtedly leave him unwilling and confused.

Hearing Charlie's name, Jamie felt a stabbing pain in her heart.

She began to avoid the subject. "Stop it. Let's not talk about things that haven't happened yet. Ben, I'm not going to be with you. And I can't stand the thought of being separated from Charlie.
