Forever After.

Good News, Bad News.

Shawn and I woke up early to surprise the girls. I made breakfast, told Shawn to stay in the kitchen, then woke up the girls. I walked them into the kitchen, then took a seat beside Shawn
"Hi Shawn Mendes." Naomi said sleepily
"Shawn Mendes?!" Melody's head shot up from the counter. He got down on one knee as they both ran to him and hugged him around the neck "What are you doing here?" Melody pulled away from the hug
"Well." Shawn stood up "I heard that you prayed that your dad would come home." He continued as he looked at me
"So here he is." I chimed in
"Cool you brought our daddy with you?" Naomi asked looking around as Melody looked up at Shawn
"No. Naomi. He is our daddy." Melody said while pointing at Shawn and he nodded his head
"Now it makes since for why you could never visit us!" Melody exclaimed
"It does?" Naomi asked looking at her sister
"Yes. He's been busy making his albums!" She squealed
"Wow. Aren't you smart young lady?" He says picking Melody up while she giggled "She gets that from you, ya know?" He asks me, while giggling.
After two long years I finally had my Shawn back.
5 Weeks Later
I went upstairs to find Soxs and Mittens. When I got up to my room, I found Soxs on my widow sill looking out the window. I walked up to the window, laughing then I looked out the window and saw what Soxs was looking at. It was a black fur ball. I picked up Soxs and ran downstairs and outside, to the fur ball. I bent down beside the fur ball and carefully flipped it over with a stick I found on the ground. I gasped when I realized that the fur ball was indeed Mittens; I tried to think of what I would say to the girls since I told them it was their cat from Shawn. I let go of Soxs as I walked back into the house with all of my expressions numb. I walked around the living room and kitchen looking for Shawn, but didn't find a soul so I started calling his name quietly, not wanting the girls to know something was up
"Shawn. Shawn. Shawn where are you? Shawn. I have to tell you something." I started to wine as I heard laughter coming down the stairs
"Shawn." I whispered and my face must have shown that my heart was broken because Shawn walked over to me and we turned our backs to the girls
"What's up?" Shawn smiled as I looked at the ground before looking him back in the eyes
"The cat you gave me. Mittens. Was the girl's cat. Died." I whispered looking back at the girls, then my phone rang
"Is this Skylar? Granddaughter of Martha Hodges?" The voice asked "Yes. This is she. Why?" I speak into the phone, holding my breath
"We wanted to tell you that she died this morning at 6:00." The voice said as a tear streamed down my face "How?" was all I could manage with all the tears
"She had a stroke at her house and a man by the name of Chad Hamilton found her in the shower." I hung up. I turned to Shawn, wrapped my arms around him, dug my face into his chest, and sobbed until I had no more tears to spare.
"Babe what's wrong?" Shawn whispered in my ear as I pulled away from the hug
"I-I-I can't." I managed as he patted my back
"Yes you can." He said as I turned to look at the girls "Girls can you go to your room please?" He asked as they ran off
"Shawn." I looked down at my stomach as I remembered three tests I took early this morning. Positive. Positive. Positive. "My dad's out of prison. What if he finds us?" I ask, tears streaming down as he wiped them with his thumb
"Something else is wrong." He said, raising my head with his finger "Wait you're pregnant aren't you?" He asked as I slowly nodded, tears streaming down "Babe! I promise this won't end up like the girls. I'll be by your side the whole time. I promise." He said before getting on his knees, putting his hands on my stomach and saying "I promise you princess." He said as I laughed
"Shawn we don't know the gender yet." I laughed as he looked up at me and bit his lip
"I just have a strong feeling." He said giving me a kiss.
