"Sean? I can't believe it's really you! Come in man and we'll get you a beer." Jay said still stunned that Sean Cameron was at his pre bachelor party gathering. Jay and Sean both stepped over the broken glass and headed towards the kitchen. Sean nodded at both Jimmy and Toby and then continued to follow Jay to the fridge.
Jay grabbed two beer from the fridge and handed one to Sean. "You got a good grip on that one Hogart or am I going to have to see if Spinner has any plastic cups around here?" Sean joked.
"I'm cool Cameron. I guess I just didn't expect to see you here. After all, it's been 10 years since the last time we talked."
"Yeah it has been. It's actually been 10 years since I've been back to Toronto. When Spinner called me up last week and told me that Jay Hogart was getting married I had to come see it for myself." Sean commented.
Jay glanced at Sean again. He was still mystified that Sean was standing in front of them. Of all the people from his past that could've shown up, Sean was the least expected. They had been great friends in high school but after the shooting incident everything had changed. Plus Jay didn't figure that Sean would be too keen on him and Emma getting married. Granted they hadn't been a couple for 11 years but still something about your first love marrying your best friend would have to get to a guy.
"Listen Sean." Jay started. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry about the shooting and stuff. I'm sorry I didn't keep in touch with you. I'm thankful that you're here but I understand if the whole situation makes you uncomfortable."
"No need to apologize man. What happened in the past is just water under the bridge now. Life is pretty great in Wasaga actually so I can't say I'm completely disappointed with the way life turned out." Sean commented.
"Does this pretty great life in Wasaga involve a hot chick?" Jay said smiling. He might be getting married but he still appreciated the sight of a woman. That part of him would never change.
Sean chuckled and pulled a picture out of his wallet. "I think she's pretty cute. Her name is Christine." Sean handed Jay the picture.
Jay looked at the picture. "Isn't she a little young for you?" he asked mentally noting that the blonde girl in the picture looked about 4 years old.
"She's my daughter and one of the best things that have ever happened to me. My life revolves around her now. Everything changes when you have kids. You'll find that out soon enough." Sean explained.
"Hopefully not too soon." Jay commented. "I'd like to stay in the honeymoon stage for as long as possible and enjoy all of it's benefits if you know what I mean."
Sean shook his head. Same old Jay thinking about sex every two minutes. Sean's thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone. He looked at the caller id and noted that the number flashing across the screen belonged to Christine's baby-sitter for the night. "Excuse me for a second Jay but I got to take this."
Jay gave Sean some privacy and headed back to the living room to join the other guys. A couple of minutes later Sean returned to the living room. "Sorry guys but I got to take off." Sean announced to the room. "My daughter's baby-sitter just called and said that my daughter isn't feeling well so I need to go pick her up."
Jay walked with Sean to the door and watched as he got his jacket on.
"How long are you in town for?" Jay asked.
"I'm not sure yet. Maybe a couple of more days." Sean replied.
"Well if your daughter is feeling better tomorrow why don't you guys stop by our friends and family pre-wedding lunch in thing that we have going on. It's tomorrow at 1pm at the Hilton Hotel downtown. There will probably be some other kids there too so it'd give Christine someone to play with and a chance for us to do some more catching up." Jay suggested.
Sean thought about it for a moment and then answered. "That sounds like a plan. We're actually staying at the Hilton Hotel while we're in town so we'll be right there anyway. I guess I'll see you tomorrow then." Sean opened the front door and headed down the driveway towards his car.
Spinner had overheard the conversation between Jay and Sean concerning the invitation to the lunch in for the next day. Spinner looked at Jay and mouthed two words "Kitchen Now" to him. Spinner didn't want to cause a scene in front of the other guys.
Jay met Spinner in the kitchen unsure of why Spinner was trying to be secretive.
"Do you really think it was a good idea inviting Sean to come tomorrow?" Spinner asked.
"It's just him and his daughter. I'm sure adding two more people to the already huge guest list isn't going to be that big of a deal." Jay informed Spinner.
"I'm not talking about the guest list Jay. Don't you think Sean's going to be a little bit upset when he shows up tomorrow and he sees you and Emma together?"
"Sean's cool Spin. He even told me tonight that whatever happened in the past was water under the bridge." Jay said. "When you called him last week to tell him I was getting married you did tell him that Emma was the girl I was marrying, didn't you?"
"Umm…not exactly. I kinda left out the who part. I thought it'd be better if he heard it from you." Spinner confessed.
"Spin!" Jay yelled out in a frustrated tone. "What am I supposed to do now?"
"Well look on the bright side. It's been 10 years since he's seen her last right? Maybe he won't recognize her." Spinner said thinking wishfully.
Jay sighed. "She's still thin, blonde and hot. Trust me, he's going to recognize her the minute he lays eyes on her." Jay pulled out his cell phone and scrolled through his phone book and found Emma's name. He pressed send when he found it. As he listened to the sound of the phone ringing he prayed that she would pick up. He needed to get a hold of her and warn her Sean was in town before she ran in to him first.
So what did you guys think? Let me know. R&R
