My All

Part 29

July looked at her reflection in the mirror. Today was the day. It had been three weeks since Shawn had been released from the hospital. His memory still hadn't come back. Wilma walked into the room. "Oh, dear. You look so beautiful." She said adjusting her veil. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, I can't believe this is finally happening." July said, caressing her white dress.

"Come, everyone is waiting."

After the ceremony, Shawn and July were dancing. "I can't believe I lost so many memories. Four years that I can't remember. I can't even remember my own son." He said kissing her. "I need to get my memory back."

"Don't worry. We are here to make new memories now." She said hugging him.

"I wonder if they ever find that Deborah girl." July rolled her eyes at the mention of that name. "Why do you get like that when I mention her name?"

"Because, it's like the only thing you talk about lately."

"Well, I'm sorry. But people keep asking me. Apparently we were close. Did I cheat on you with her? Is that why you hate her so much?"

"We would never know, will we?" July said walking away.

Shawn walked to the bar and asked for a drink. There he met with John and Carl. "Hey guys, how is it going?" They just raised their cups to him without saying a word. "What's going on? Why is everyone treating me so differently?"

"Sir, you just made a big mistake." Carl said. John looked at Carl wide eyed.

"And what mistake is that? I just married the mother of my child, the woman I've been engaged to for over four years. What is so wrong about that?"

"Do you love her?" John asked.

Shawn looked at her over the crowd and shrugged. "I like her. I care about her."

"You cared about Deborah, you guys were together." Carl said.

"I cheated on July with that girl?"

"You weren't with July. You broke up with her four years ago." John said.

"No, we have a son together. My mother and July wouldn't lie."

"There's a big probability that that kid isn't yours either." John said.

"There you are." Wilma said, shooting daggers at John and Carl. "July's parents are looking for you." She said as Shawn walked away. Then she turned towards them. "What were you guys talking about? Remember he has no memory of what happened in the last four years. You can't be filling him up with nonsense."

"It's not right what you guys did. If he ever gets his memory back, you better watch out." Carl said as they walked away from her.

"We always knew you two would end up together." Camila Hayes, July's mother said.

"You better take good care of my princess." Anthony Hayes, her father said.

"Of course, Mr and Mrs Hayes. I will take good care of her and our son Andrew." Shawn said, putting his arm around July's waist.

"I'm so sorry your father couldn't make it." Camila said.

"Yes. He just doesn't seem to get better." Wilma said, reaching them.

"Do they know what's wrong with him?" Anthony asked.

"Nobody seems to know. There's days that it seems that he's getting better and then he gets worse the next."

"I have a friend. He's a great doctor that specializes in uncommon diseases. I should give him a call." Anthony said.

"That's not necessary. We have all the best doctors working on him here." Wilma quickly said.

"Mom, let's have another opinion. Please, Mr Hayes. I would really appreciate that." Shawn said.

"I'll give him a call in the morning. Now you guys need to leave if you're going to catch that flight to Italy." Anthony said, kissing his daughter's cheek and shaking Shawn's hand.
