Girl Drummer Meets Boy Drummer(A7X/Jimmy FanFic)

Chapter 25~Giving In To Hannah And Chloe

~4 Years Later~

Megan's POV

I surveyed my messy bedroom in my apartment, it was worse than my daughter's room for crying out loud! I hated cleaning, and I sucked at it too. But, this room wasn't going to clean itself, no matter how much I wished it would. It was a snowy Saturday morning, in January. My daughter, Chloe, would turn four next week. I wasn't used to so much snow even though I'd been in Minnesota for four years now, but Chloe absolutely loved it. Well, she liked to throw snowballs at me anyway. But today she stayed inside, making a list of the things she wanted for her birthday for me.

"Mommy, Mommy! I finished the list!" Chloe called, running into my bedroom. Well, there's my excuse not to clean my room!

"Ok, let's have a look." I said, smiling at her as we sat down on the end of the bed. I was surprised to find only five things on the list. She put things like stuffed animals, and a few toys she had seen in Toys R Us before. My eyes fell upon the fifth thing, and I looked at her. She stared up at me hopefully with her big blue eyes, she knew that I'd seen the last thing on her list. She asked for the same thing for Christmas too.

"Please, Mommy? Pleeeeaassseee?" Chloe pleaded with me, and it broke my heart to tell her no to that wish over and over again.

"Chlo, you know that I can't give you that." I told her softly, using the shorter version of her name I often called her by.

"But Mommy, I want to meet Daddy. Doesn't he want to meet me?" She questioned.

"Well, Daddy doesn't know about you." I said, and her face fell.

"Why not?"

"Because you weren't born yet when I came here." I looked down at her, and she stared down at her knees sadly.

"Oh." Then she lifted her head again. "Do you think I'll see him one day?"

That wasn't a question I could really answer, but I told her what I hoped for. "Maybe, it's possible."

Chloe smiled and jumped off of the bed, running back out to the living room. I still had her list in my hands, and I stared at the fifth thing on her list. In her messy little kid writing, was the number five and the word 'Daddy'. Following it was a picture of three stick figures. She was in between Jimmy and I, all three of us with wide grins on our faces. I sighed and put the list on top of my dresser, and then cleaned my room to try and get Jimmy off my mind for the zillionth time.

Later on, Hannah came over and hung out with us. She often came over and kept me company, and she loved playing with Chloe. Sometimes, they reminded me of Jimmy and Connor. Connor would be ten this year, which I found hard to believe.  I wondered if he still played guitar, I wondered if he still planned on being the best guitar player in the world for Julianna.

I started thinking of Jimmy again a lot lately. It wasn't like I didn't think about him before, but now it started becoming more and more often. Somtimes the littlest things would trigger small or major memories. I often wondered how he was doing, and if he ever thought about me still. I hoped that he was happy, that he was still living life like he always had, carefree.

I wondered if Brian and Kristina had ever gone through with having a kid, and I hoped that they had. By now, he or she would be about the same age as Chloe. Hell, maybe I could try and get Chloe her fifth birthday present. I could move back to Huntington Beach, and then take her to go see--

"MEGAN!!" Hannah yelled out my name, bringing me out of my thoughts.

"Holy shit, Hannah. Tone it down!! Some of us would like to keep our ear drums working." I told her, and she gave me an apologetic glance.
