Shawn's POV

As we walked from the graveyard back to our car, I looked down at my two children. My daughter, Genevieve, reached for my hand. A small cry fell from her lips. "Where's mommy?" , my son, Ronan said. " Shut up." Genevieve, Ginny as I call her, mummbled,  as she kicked a rock aside.  "Genevieve, he's only 6. He doesnt know what's going on. You and I, we need to be strong for him." I said. "Really? Im only 14. She was my mother too! I loved her just as much as Ronan." She said as she buckled into the passenger seat. "Genevieve." I said, "She was my wife. I loved her more than anything. Hell, I had 2 kids with her. She was only your age when we met, you know." There was a long pause. I buckled Ronan into his car seat and closed the door. I went around to the trunk and stood against it. I looked down the street, the sun was setting. It was May. Violetta loved the spring. She saw it as a new beginning. All of the kids were born in the spring. I think thats why she loved it so much. She loved celebrations for the children. Most of all she loved her family. I licked my lips and felt tears form in my eyes. Damn, I miss her so much. I inhaled quickly and walked back to the front of the car because i heard the kids fighting.

I get in the car and shoot both of the glares. 'Dad," Genevieve says, "How did you and mom meet?" I put the keys in the ignition and looked down. I swallowed hard and looked back up. "Well," I said "I was on tour when I was about 16 and I was in London during the summer. Your mother was there on a family vacation. I met her in a small cafe and she was alone on her phone. I asked if anyone was sitting in the chair across from her and she said no and gave me a smile." I looked at my two kids and started the car. "Naturally, I sat down." I started down the lonely street and started home. "She looked surprized that I sat down. She put her phone down and said 'hello,' I told her that my name was Shawn and she said I know, you and all those other boys are all i see on vine anymore.' My children looked at me confused and Genevieve said "What the hell is vine?" "Daddy she said a bad word" i heard my son say from the back "I know, Ginny, please with the curse words." "Whatever, go on." she said. I roll my eyes at her teenage attitude."Anyway, i laughed at her sarcasm. She reaches over to shake my hand, 'Violetta', she says. I smiled at her. We talked for an hour until she had to leave. I asked her how long she'd been in London and she said 2 more weeks. That was how long I would be in London. We exchanged numbers and she left. Thats how we met." My son smiled and went back to playing with his toys in the back. " Wait, wait, wait. Thats it?" Ginny said. "Well yeah. You asked how we met. That's how we met. What were you expecting?" I said, confused." Ginny looked at me like I was crazy. "Tell us about your first kiss, when you told her you loved her, When you got married, the cheesy stuff." She said "Well, okay." we got out of the car and walked inside. The kids slipped of their shoes and ran and sat on the couch. "Okay, tell us." they said in unison. I looked at them and smiled at their enthusiasm. "Well..."
