Divorce/ Shawn Mendes

Part 16

Shawn's pov:

I got up, got dressed and went downstairs. The house is so quiet without the kids and Emelia. "Hello?" Her voice came through afer I called her.

"Em. Can I pick the kids up at school today?" I asked and there was a moment of silence. "Yeah sure." She said and I smiled. "Okay. Thank you." I said and wanted to hing up but she called my name again. "Yes honey?" I said and then realized what I said. I face palmed at first but her words shocked me.

Shocked a smile right onto my face.

"I - I love you." She said and my heart leaped. "It's really good to hear you say that." I chuckled. "I love you to Emelia. So much." I said and she hung up. I'm not gonna sign those divorce papers.

I know there's still hope.

I can win them over again.

I need to be there for my kids.

I drove to the kindergarten and got out od my car. "Daddy!" Grace yelled surprised as she saw me walk into her classroom. "Hey Gracie." I said crouching down to her and she hugged me.

I felt sad about this, that she was surprised to see me. I picked her up and took her bag in my other hand as I kissed her cheek. "Micheal is at soccer practice." She said as we got in the car and I asked her if we need to pick him up.

"Wanna go watch?" I asked as she gasped. "Can we?" She said all excited and I smiled, parking in the school parking lot and we got out. I picked her up again and put her on my shoulders as I walked to the practice field where I saw Micheal playing.

I was amazed. He is so good.

"Yes Go Miki!" Grace yelled in her sweet little voice and I smiled. "Yes Micheal!" I yelled and saw him looking over to us. He had a smile on his face.

Shit! I've done so much wrong in this family and Micheal just smiled at me for the first time in weeks. I started crying, not caring if I'm sat between other parents. I wiped my eyes as they ended practice and he came runnig towards us, grabbing his bags at the fromt of the bleachers and walked to us.

"Dad? What are you doing here?" He asked, a small smile still playing in the corners of his mouth. "I picked Grace up from school and we stopped by to see you practice." I said and he gave Grace a hug.

"You're amazing Micheal. I'm so sorry that I didn't see that before." I said and he came to hug me. I gave him a tight hug as I kissed the top of his head. "Thanks dad." He said and went off with Richard again.

"Well I should probably drop you off at your grandpas." I said to Grace and picked her up again.
