Forever After.

Eighth Grade Grads.

2 Years Later
"Hold still Melody and Naomi I'm trying to get a good picture of you two with your father." I said while taking a few pictures
"Why do you need our pictures right now?" Naomi asked
"Yeah I didn't put my makeup on yet." Melody said as I got the perfect picture
"Your graduating the 8th grade today!" I exclaimed as everyone laughed.
"Mum, dad, Melody, Marci. Will you all sit down please?" Naomi asked as we were all seated at once "I wanna die my hair." She said as we all gasped "I don't wanna be like you anymore. I wanna have my own look." She said on the verge of tears and I stood up and gave her a hug. We all decided to go and get Naomi's hair dyed then afterwards go and get knew swimming suites.
53 Minutes Later
We got our swimming suites and went down to the beach. I took off my cover for my swimming suite which left me in my sky blue bikini. Melody walked down to the water in her purple bikini and Naomi was tanning in her hot pink bikini and Marci played with Shawn in her green one piece. I went and played with Shawn and Marci. "Play with mummy. I'll be right back." He said as he got out of the water and I watched as he walked up to Naomi and I saw a guy standing my Naomi talking to her then Shawn picked her up and brought her to us.
I turned around and saw Melody a few feet away from us and a guy was with her. I watched as the guy brushed her hair out of her face and she blushed. I turned back and saw Shawn swimming to her, so I handed Marci to Naomi. I grabbed his arm "Shawn let her be. They're growing up and you gotta let them grow up." I looked him in the eyes and he looked at the girls
"I'm sorry babe it's just that they are my baby girls and I'll always see them like that. I want to be a great father I really do I promised your mother and father that I was going to be an amazing father." He said
"I know Shawn they're my babies too and they will always be that way in our eyes. How about we just go home?" I said as he nodded and I gathered all of the girls and we packed everything up and went home.
53 Minutes Later
I sat on the couch and petted Sox while we watched Frozen. Then, the girls said they had a surprise for me and Shawn. Melody got my guitar that I got signed by Taylor Swift and Shawn. Melody started playing guitar and Naomi started beatboxing then Marci started singing and they did the whole song of Never Be Alone with Hey There Delilah. I started crying and Shawn put his arm around me, pulling me closer. I cried into his chest as he rubbed my back. When the girls were done we both clapped "You girls have real talent." I said while wiping my tears
"Maybe you'll get signed to a record label." Shawn exclaimed
"Don't you say that. They've already taken you. They're not taking my babies from me too." I said as they looked at me weird "I mean if that's your dream then pursue it." I said as we had a huge group hug.
I know the girls are smart and they go after things that they're passionate about, they're just like their mum in that way so I have complete faith in them.
"Mum how did dad win your heart?" Melody asked
"Well I was a huge fan from the get go. My friend Nicole set us up and he was a gentleman which made me fall harder. Be careful everything that falls breaks. We never did break though I thought my dad was going to make us break." I looked down "And I can out bench press your dad too." I bragged as Shawn smiled
"Yeah but I can do more push ups." Shawn laughed. The girls recommended playing tag. Shawn was it and I was running to get away from him and he was chasing me, I ran outside then looked behind me and he was gone. I started walking around the pool; I looked through the kitchen window and saw the girls pointing down. He jumped out of the water, grabbed my waist and pulled me into the water. The whole time I couldn't breath because I was laughing too hard. He finally helped me out of the pool and got me a towel so I went upstairs and dried off.
Once I was dry I went downstairs and sat on the couch with Shawn and the girls. We were watching The Little Mermaid when Shawn wrapped a blanket around the two of us. I turned to see Marci asleep on the floor and Naomi was dozing off. Then one after the other they were out, I turned to Shawn and he was smiling which made me smile. I cuddled up closer to him then I remembered a song he sang at our wedding 'Cause if we lost it all and there was nothing we could do.' I looked up at him 'I'll try my best oh I'll try my best for you.' He kissed me on the forehead
"I'm gonna change this up a bit." He whispered as I nodded 'Hey there Skylar what's it like in New York City?' He looked at me 'I'm a thousand miles away, but tonight you look so pretty yes you do.' I looked at him 'Times square can't shine as bright as you. I swear it's true. Hey there Skylar don't you worry about the distance. I'm right there if you get lonely.' He kissed me on the cheek which made me laugh 'Give this song another listen close your eyes.' I put my hand over his eyes then together we sang 'Listen to my voice it's my disguise.'
"Shawn will we last?" I asked as he smiled
"We'll last forever after everything. I promise. " he said as I slowly let my eyes close and let him comfort me.
