However, his father, Billy, wished to have known about Nikita's birth. 

In a confessional, James stated, "My dad traveled a lot when we were kids, but it didn't matter how much he worked. He would always make time for me and my brother. Now that I'm a dad, I try to do the same thing my dad did for us. I'll do anything to make them happy. I love being a dad."
