Chapter Four: As Shannon walked along the shoreline taking pictures, she remembered why she loved this place so much. This was her home. It did not matter why she left, she was back now and that was that mattered. She wanted to make this her home again, for her and her girls. Yes, it was time to stop living in the past. She has changed and times have changed, yes, people would remember why she really left but that did not matter anymore to her. When she made it back to the hotel, she saw that the girls were still out with Kam. She looked at the clock and saw that she had enough time to take a short nap before she had to get ready for her "date" with Caleb. As she drifted off to a time, she would like to have forgotten. September 2002 She sat on the edge of the tub looking at the stick. "No, this can't be right. I can't be pregnant again!" She inhaled a deep breath and held it for several seconds as she thought about what she was going to do. It was just one night, one night when they were too upset, or better yet too drunk to think clearly. Yes, he had always been there for her since they were ten years old but her heart still belonged to Jeremy, his to Caitlyn. It could be a false positive. she thought out loud. She stood up took in deep breath and went to call the clinic to set up an appointment to make sure before she said anything to Caleb. After leaving the clinic, she walked, she needed to think. She ended up at the park and as she sat absently down on the bench. She thought to herself. The baby could be Jeremy's. Jeremy was the love of Shannon's life, he was Meg's dad. They had been together since they were sixteen years old and then one day unexpectedly he tells her that he wanted to become the next MMA Champion. He was leaving for somewhere in Kentucky to train and then god knew where after that. He wanted her and Meg to come with him but she told him she wanted Meg to have roots and he understood that, he wanted the same for his little girl. The doctor said I was a good 5 weeks along. No, J had been gone three months now. The baby was no way J's, the baby was definitely Caleb's. As she rose from the bench, she decided she would go talk to him tonight and tell him the great/bad news and they would make a decision together. As she pulled into his drive she saw that he was home, at least it looked as if he were home. She slowly got out of the car and made her way up his steps. When she was about to knock, she saw Caitlyn. "They got back together," she whispered to herself as she walked away without being seen. The next day she was on a plane headed for Saint Louis. She wanted to get as far way from North Carolina as she could be. The sound of her alarm clocked jolted her out of her dream. She did not feel any better now than she did before she lay down. She showered, dressed, and made her way to the lobby to wait for Caleb. When she stepped off the elevator, she was greeted by a squeal. "Mommy, I saw dolphins and a shark. Auntie Kameron and Meg to me to acarium after the boat ride." "Aqu-air-ium." Meg sounded it for her little sister. "Oh that is wonderful monkey butt." She said as she gave her little girl a great big hug. She stood and looked at Kameron. "Auntie Kameron?" "Yeah, I thought it would be cute if she called my 'Auntie Kameron.' " Kameron said with a half smile. "Oh c'mon mama, it's not like it is the end of the world if she calls her ‘Auntie’ now is it?" Meg asked. "No, I guess not." Shannon replied. Caleb walked up behind Shannon and placed a finger over his mouth, indicating to the others to not say a word that he was there. "I guess there is no harm in Cerra calling you 'Auntie', you are practically family aren't you." Kameron smiled as Caleb answered for her. "Yeah we are all like family, aren't we?" Shannon literally jumped out of her skin. She had no idea Caleb was standing behind her or for how long he had been there. "So, are ready to go?" he asked after giving his sister a hug. "Yeah, I will be ready in just a minute." she said as she held up one finger. "Kameron, you by any chance didn't feed the girls did you?" "Yes, I did. I hope that is okay?" "It is fine; I just wanted to make sure I did not have to order room service for them before I left. Thank you." Shannon said with a smile. "Not a problem at all. It was the highlight, since I had such a fun day with them." Kameron said as she nudges Meg's shoulder. "Okay, great, now Meg, you know how to get in touch with me if you need me and I would like you to try to get your sister in the tub before she falls asleep. I love you girls and I will try not to be too late." Shannon hugged and kissed both the girls and headed out of the hotel with Caleb. |
