So in my boredom and writers block this series of oneshot songfics popped into my head. This is just the first one. Everything else should be updated in a week or two.
Dedicated to my bestest friend in the world. 3ya T

Cason crawled on the floor towards his father who was lying on his back propped up against the sofa. The two year old shook his father's leg. His father jumped startled. Cason gave his best lion roar.
"Problems, Cay?" Cason's mother asked leaning in the doorway.
"Not at all. Cason just scared me to death." The father said. He swung his son up. Cason giggled. He reached for his mother.
"He's just like you Caleb Danvers." She said.
"And nothing like you Shay Danvers?" Caleb asked. He kissed her lips quickly and kissed Cason's head. "I've gotta get to the studio." He disappeared out the front door. He wasn't going to tell her about the song he had been writing for her. He'd been thinking about their relationship since high school and it was perfect.

I've been a walking heartache
I've made a mess of me
The person that I've been lately
Ain't who I wanna be

Caleb helped her grab her bags. Shay Tyson was a light packer. She didn't have much except a few extra clothes the police had let her get.
"I could've got them." She murmured.
"I got it Shay." Caleb said. He closed the trunk.
"But you didn't have to." She argued.
"But I did." Caleb said. Shay smiled weakly at him.
"Then thank you." She said. She carried her backpack into the house.
***********************************C************************************************************************************
But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

"Shay!" Caleb yelled. Shay looked up at him. He leaned down and kissed her quickly. She smiled at him.
"What was that for?" She asked.
"Just thought it was necessary. It's kind of an anniversary for us." He said.
"How?" She asked, snuggling back against him.
"I met you two years ago today." Caleb said. Shay laughed.
"You remember that?" She asked.
"How can I forget?" Caleb returned. Shay laid her head on his shoulder. She kissed his cheek.

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I've lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it's true
God gave me you

Shay jumped onto Caleb's bed. He grabbed her around her waist.
"Good morning." She said giggling.
"It's five in the morning, Shay." He said. She lay down beside him. Their hands intertwined. She stared at the ceiling.
"We're graduating today." She said.
"You say that like it's a bad thing." Caleb said.
"I dunno. Guess I never thought I would. After everything with Sidney and those guys…" She said.
"You would've. You're smart." He told her.
***********************************C************************************************************************************
There's more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You'll always be love's great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
and I need you

"Can I come in?" A woman asked Shay as Kate and Whitney helped her with her wedding dress.
"You don't have to ask, Aunt Rose." Shay said. Rosalind laughed.
"You look beautiful, Shay. Your mom would've been proud of you. Your father too." She said. Shay smiled at her aunt. "I wanted you to have this. Something borrowed. Well given. It was your mother's." Rosalind handed her niece a necklace. It held a clear stone in it. "Let me put it on you."
"Thank you." Shay said. She kissed her aunt's cheek. The wedding march started. Whitney and Kate walked towards the doors. The doors opened. Kate and Whitney walked. The doors reclosed. Tyler leaned against the wall.
"Dad said he'd rather I'd walk you." He said. Shay hugged him. "You're beautiful, Cuz." He added. The doors reopened. Tyler took her hand. Everyone turned to look at them. Shay let Tyler lead her forward towards her future.

January 2015
"It hurts, Cay." Shay moaned. Caleb smoothed her hair back. He'd been there with her for 18hours.
"You're doing good." He said. The doctor looked up at him.
"I think a C-section would be our best bet." He said. Caleb nodded. Shay shook her head.
"What's wrong?" She cried.
"Nothing's wrong. It'll just be safer." The doctor said. A few hours later, a baby's cry rang out. Caleb kissed Shay's forehead. "It's a boy."
"That's Cason." Caleb said as the nurse showed them their son. Shay was crying again… Shay held her son as her cousin walked in. Tyler's wife Whitney followed holding her own son.
"Shay, he's adorable." Whitney cooed. Cason was sleeping just like his father who was asleep in a chair.
"Isn't he? I'm sorry Whit but I think he's cuter than Taylor." Shay said. Whitney smiled.
"To each their own." She said. Tyler snorted.
"Cason's got two great parents but one of them is very selfish." He said. Shay swatted him.

On my own I'm only
Half of what I could be
I can't do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

Caleb unlocked the door. He saw the TV on. He looked in the living room. Shay was asleep with Cason in his playpen. Caleb lifted Cason up and carried him to his bedroom.
"Night Cason." He said. Cason's brown eyes fluttered open.
"Dada?" He said. Caleb kissed his son's forehead.
"Night, night." He said. Cason went back to sleep. Caleb walked back downstairs. Shay was still asleep. "You gonna sleep down here?" He asked her as she opened her eyes.
"I was waiting for you to get home. Where's Case?" She asked.
"Asleep. I brought you something home." Caleb said. He handed her a demo CD. "Happy anniversary, Shay."
