I am really really sorry for the LONG wait,

I own nothing of this.

Chapter 8

We were all in a black limo, Shane, Caitlyn, Brianna Ashlee and Molly, who was coming with us as well. The adults wanted to have some time to talk so I asked if we should take Molly with us.

Meggie liked the idea, she agreed and here we were, maybe when we were in town we could go and visit Sammie for a short time, only to make sure she was fine, and hopefully could leave the hospital soon.

Shane was holding Molly and he looked so cute with her in his arms.

"So where do you come from Mitchie?" Brianna asked.

"New Jersey" I smiled.

"And what do your parents do? Shane just said he had his own store"

"Yeah he owns a hardware store and my mom has a catering business"

"Interesting, I love your necklace by the way, it looks amazing"

"Thanks" I smiled, it was a simple long necklace to fit the outfit, it wasn't really expensive but I had changed my style over the half year, I wanted to look more grown up, not as a little shy girl.

The limo stopped after a long drive of small talk, Shane, Caitlyn and I were talking about music and I had to sing a little for Brianna and Ashlee, they were amazed, as they said and Shane smiled even bigger.

"I love to hear you sing" He had whispered in my ear when I finished singing.

Now we had reached the mall, Brianna and Ashlee still did not know about Sammie, but we would tell them soon, that was what Shane told me.

We were walking from shop to shop with a lot of luck and not getting chased by paparazzi.

I was holding the sleeping Molly now, Brianna was trying on something for a party, it was a dark blue dress, it ended above the knees and showed of your chest. As Brianna came out she looked stunning, Shane gave her a big compliment for what I hit him. He said "If you weren't my sister, I would dumb Mitchie right now and go out with you" He had told her with a smirk on his face.

"I'm just kidding babe"

"I don't want to lose you to some other fan girl"

"So now you are a fan of me?"

"Only the Shane I know, not the jerky one" I whispered and leaned in to kiss him. Our lips were inches apart when I saw a flash of a camera, I turned my head to see Brianna and Ashlee taking a picture of me and Shane.

This shopping trip for sure would get interesting.

Ashlee smiled big and giggled at her younger brother and me. "You guys are just too cute, I can already see you both having kids and being called mommy and daddy"

Shane chuckled and smiled at me. Sammy would call us mommy and daddy, she already asked me for it and I was of course fine with it.

"What are you saying to this dress Mitchie?" Caitlyn held up a dark green dress, it looked beautiful and simple. It was strapless and had a little bow at one side of the high from my tight. It simply looked beautiful.

"Wow" I said and smiled. "Go and try it on" Caitlyn pushed me in one of the cabins along with the dress and took little Molly from my arms.

I of course wasted no time and tried the dress on. It seemed to be made for me because it fitted perfectly. Even when I didn't like my figure much I loved this dress on me. I didn't look like the most beautiful girl but I am pretty sure I didn't look ugly in it.

Green was also Shane's favorite color, that was at least what stood in all those magazines.

I walked out of the dressing room and looked around for the others, Shane stood there with Molly in his arms and Ashlee next to him.

"Mitchie! You look so beautiful in that dress, you simply have to get it." I nodded, it would be useful, I could wear it on Christmas which wasn't that far away from now.

"Yeah I like it"

Shane still hadn't said a word at all, he was just looking at me.

"Shane?" Ashlee called out and he finally seemed to snap out of his own little world.

"Uh, sorry I was a little distracted" He muttered and Ashlee laughed out loud.

"A little?" She teased him and he only blushed and whispered to me. "You look beautiful baby" It had been my turn to blush.

"I am going to pay all our stuff so we can go on to the next store" We all seemed to agree and Shane gave Ashlee his credit card, I went along with her to pay for my dress and saw Brianna and Caitlyn talking on my way to the cashier but as soon as we reached the cashier Ashlee ribbed the dress out of my hands.

"Shane is going to pay for you Hun" I sighed and tried to protest but Ashlee wouldn't let me pay it on my own, she said Shane had told her that he would buy it. I was pretty sure he had said that but told her he hadn't because I didn't want to look like a girl who can't even pay for her own stuff.

The young cashier looked up at us. "This is Shane Gray's credit card" She said and glared at us.

"I know" Ashlee simply said.

"Have you stolen it?" WHAT?! She looked at my expression.

"Are you stupid or something like that? I am his sister, he gave it to me"

"Shane Gray doesn't have any siblings." The cashier answered us which I knew her name had to be Carly from her name-tag.

"Listen girl, I am his sister, Ashlee Gray"

Carly, the cashier, just rolled her eyes. "I am sorry but I have to keep the card here, it isn't obviously yours, and Shane Gray doesn't have any brothers or sisters"

"Yeah like you would know" Ashlee gave her another dirty look, you really shouldn't get on the twins bad side. That was what I had already learned and I was really happy they liked me.

"I know that, he always said he had no siblings, so you really are just a faker, leave this store, girl" Carly called out, wow was she rude, no wonder that here really weren't that much people.

"Of course he said that because he wanted us to have a normal life but I tell you something I don't care about a normal life anymore I will just call him over and you will see."

A few seconds later she started to shout, everyone looked at her. "SHANE!" She shouted out and Shane, with Molly ins his arms, Brianna and Caitlyn walking next to him came over, he was wearing a cap and really ugly glasses.

The cashier only laughed. "As this would be Shane Gray" She said and her eyes widened when Shane took of his cap and the glasses.

"Oh my... I am so sorry about everything I just..."

Ashlee had her arms crossed and smirked.

"What's the problem Ash?"

"Well I know what you said about not wanting everyone to know that you had sibling and so on and so on but I really can't stand this girl not believing me and thinking I stole your freaking credit card."

Shane just chuckled. "Calm down" He turned to the cashier and asked in a really sweet voice. "And can I have my credit card back?" Carly nodded and gave it back to him and he started to pay for everything. Sleeping Molly had been passed onto Brianna now.

I said nothing all the time ans just stood there and watched.

Shane had always this beautiful smile on his face, just like he had right now. It always made me smile too.

"You're coming Mitch?" Shane asked and held his hand out for me. I of course took it and walked with him behind his sisters and Caitlyn, the 3 seemed to be deep into a conversation.

"You know we still would need to buy clothes for Sammie when she will get out of the hospital" Shane nodded.

"But we better tell my sisters about her first"

"About who?" Brianna abruptly turned around and looked at us. This time it woke Molly up and she held her little, thin hands out for me. I smiled and took her from Brianna.

She just smiled and acted shocked. "Ash, look at this, Mol already likes Mitchie better then her own sisters."

"Yeah because I am much more cooler then you right Molly?" I tickled her lightly and she giggled and nodded her hand.

"Kids just love Mitchie" Caitlyn mentioned, it was true, Kids loved me and I loved Kids.

Shane smiled and kissed my cheek. I was so happy at the moment.

"So again who were you both talking about?"

"Well you both know about my accident and that I was at the hospital because of it, right?"

Ashlee and Brianna nodded but asked "What had you done anyways?"

"He fell on the ice and hit it with his head" Caitlyn was already laughing while telling his sisters this, she found it funny now, knowing that everything was okay with Shane, so she could make a little fun of him. My boyfriend and my best friend had a really weird friendship over the past months, I would need to add.

Ashlee burst out laughing along with Caitlyn who was already laughing while Brianna was worried about her brother. These two had two totally different personalities but you could see that they would stick up for each other when there would be something to solve.

"Well... at the hospital we met this little girl she is 4 years old, her name is Samantha but everyone called her Sammie. She also had a car accident with her parents. They both died in the accident and she has no relatives around. We are kind of adopting her"

"OMG!" Ashlee jumped up and down totally happy while Brianna looked a little shocked.

"You're what? So you will be like a dad?" Shane nodded but went on explaining the rest to them, like that my parent would actually adopt them because we probably wouldn't get the custody.

We were all standing in another store this time looking for baby and kids clothing.

"Look here Sweety you would like that?" I showed Molly a little dress for the winter, you could wear it with some white pantyhose. It looked really cute and it was white. I loved it already. Then I found another one it was red with green little designs on it and a green bow. It looked so cute. She could wear it for Christmas.

"Brie look" Brianna turned around to me and smiled, her eyes lightened up when she saw the dress.

"Aw these dresses are so beautiful Mitchie"

"Mischi" Molly said and giggled.

"Yeah that's me cutie" I gave Molly a peck on her little cheek and she made a disgusted face and whipped it of. Brianna and I started to laugh and I felt two strong arms wrap around me.

"And found anything?" Shane whispered and I shook my head.

"Well for Molly, yes but not for Sammie"

"Well that's good because Ash Cait and I found a lot"

I turned around and found a full packed Ashlee and a full packed Caitlyn with a lot of clothes in her arms, she was grinning happily.

"The Sammie you described to us will look so cute in this, we took a lot of green and purple clothes." I had to grin at this, purple was my favorite color and I loved it, just as much as Shane loved green.

"She will love it"

"Well now my dear sister is the only one who needs a good fitting dress for Christmas this year and we will be good."

Caitlyn had already got a dress from Nate, he had surprised her with it, I guess it was a few days ago when he gave it to her but she never told me before today, not only Shane but also Nate had a good taste in clothing... If you only could say the same about Jason.

"But we will stay at Camp right?" I was slightly confused, why being so dressed up if it was only his and my family, okay it was important to impress his parents and other family members but I really didn't get it.

"Yeah we will be, but dressing up looks a lot nicer and it will be pretty warm in the room. So you can still wear a dress" Ashlee explained me and I smiled.

"Well then let's go and look for a dress for you"

I could hear Shane groaning. "Can't you wear the one from last year?" He asked Ashlee and she had a hurt look on her face.

"No! I want a new one, don't worry I don't need your money for a dress you know I am earning my own money."

Shane smiled innocent and went over to hug his sister. "Well of course I will buy you your dress sis but I just don't want to keep on looking, because then somebody will notice me and they will all find out that you girls are my sisters, I am not ashamed of you I just don't want you to go through what I am going through"

Brianna smiled and hugged Shane "We love you lil' bro." Shane laughed, he was taller then her and looked down at her.

"Maybe you are just not that little anymore"

"Yeah well you will always be my big sister" Shane scooted her up and spun her around.

"SHANE! PUT ME DOWN OR I WILL KICK YOUR A-"

"I will tell mommy you wanted to say a bad word!" Molly pointed at Brianna and had her mouth a little open while she stretched out the a from bad.

Mitchie laughed along with the others while Brianna made a pouting face.

"Let's just keep going now, I want to see little Sammie today too" Ashlee said exited and lead everyone out of the store after paying for the stuff of course.

"I want a green and red dress, like the colors of Christmas" Ashlee was so into thinking of a dress she didn't even heard Shane asking her if she wanted to have one designed for her and only her.

"ASH! Shane just asked you of you wanted your dress being designed, I guess because he wanted to finish sooner"

Ashlee's face lit up at this thought and started jumping up and down which made Molly ask me what was wrong with her sister.

Soon we stood in a very expensive store, against Ashlee's will and Shane had asked if they could design a dress for her after her wishes. They agreed quickly as they noticed who he was. Shane Gray really could get everything. They told him the dress would be finished until Christmas, and then Shane would drive up to get it with Ashlee.

She loved her dress, the one she told the designers how it should be.

"Gosh my dress will be perfect, Shane, I should always go shopping with you, maybe then you could open a store alone for myself"

"Then I want one too" Caitlyn laughed and agreed with Ashlee on one shop together.

Shane laughed and only said sure, the money wouldn't be a problem for this, he had enough to life 10 lives already.

This time while we were walking around paparazzi had noticed us and started to follow. I groaned as I heard them asking who the kid and who the young girls with us were, since they only did know Shane and now me.

"Just ignore them" Shane told his sisters.

Molly had her head burred in my shoulder, she was scared of all the sudden flashes.

"Shane... I will take Molly and find another way out here, I think she is scared of all this" He just nodded and kissed me, that was when I heard the cameras go wild and Molly saying "EW"

She had her hands in front of her eyes and the 5 of us laughed at her. Shane and I seemed to have the same idea, we glanced at each other and then both kissed Molly's cheeks.

"Ew!" We heard her say again as she tried to wipe her cheeks. Shane just chuckled again and the little one in my arms held her hands out for him.

"Shanie" I tried to hold my laughter but I couldn't Molly was so cute and Shane was given so much nick-names.

"Don't you dare to laugh at me Mischi" I quickly shut up and Caitlyn started laughing after me.

"Shanie why are they taking piccos of you?" With piccos she meant pictures, Molly was just so cute.

"I will tell you when you are older princess" Molly nodded and leaned on his shoulder, closing her eyes so she won't see the paparazzi and flashes anymore.

"Me and Mitchie will take her with us, you and Caitlyn go and get a car or limo or whatever you are driving in popstar" Shane pouted again.

"Ha I am not the only one calling him popstar, you see Shane, you are a popstar" He started to pout harder which made me high five with Ashlee and Brianna.

Shane wanted to give Molly to Ashlee but she wouldn't let go.

"I wanna stay with you Shanie"

"Mol, I love you, okay baby?" Molly nodded and looked up at Shane. "I wuv you too Shanie" He smiled and placed a kiss on her head.

"Go with your sisters, I will see you soon again okay?" Molly nodded and reached over for me to take her. I smiled and scooted her back in my arms. She smiled and closed her eyes again from all the flashes we were ignoring.

"See you later popstar" I pecked his lips and walked away with his sisters.

"You and Shane seem so in love, you are all the time stealing kisses from each other and being close to each other, I am really jealous of you" Brianna said.

"Why?" I asked confused.

"You and Shane seem so happy, don't get me wrong, I am happy that you both are happy together I just wish I would get a boyfriend too, but I don't really have time for one now, but I would love to have one who just looks at me like my brother does look at you"

Wow. I really did not know what to say.

"Now you made me speechless." I admitted.

Brianna and Ashlee giggled and Molly looked at me confused, a few paparazzi were following us too now, they were interested in who the girls were Shane was seen with.

"I hope they will leave soon, we have to get to the hospital" I sighed as I looked at all the people screaming behind us. Molly had covered her ears too now, she was really frightened about this and she never knew this before.

Maybe it was wrong to go and tell everyone about Shane's sisters, they already knew too much when they found out about me and him. I wasn't sure if Molly would grow up normally.

"Do you guys really think it will be best to tell everyone who you are?" "That you are related to Shane?" I whispered then so they would hear.

Brianna sighed. "I don't know if it will be best for Molly, do you think she can grow up with all this?" Brianna asked her sister who also sighed along with her.

I had to giggle at them. "Let's just get out of here and we can discuss all this later today? What do you say?"

"Oh are we going to see Sammie now?" I nodded and we all started to make out way out of the mall with out full packed bags, who Brianna and Ashlee were holding, along with Shane who also had a few, but he wasn't with us at the moment.

Just as we came out of the mall I couldn't believe it, paparazzi's were pushing us around, Molly started crying, they were attacking us.

"Mol, Mol, calm down please baby" I started as I tried to get through the crowd.

"Hello? WE AREN'T FAMOUS! LET US THROUGH?" Ashlee screamed, she started to push them, wanting to get through, this was getting out of control. All I had in my mind was trying to protect Molly, paparazzi tried to get answers from the little girl, because they knew she would tell them if she had a chance between the crying.

"Mol, sweetie, calm down" I started to rock her and pushed paparazzi's away with my feed.

How are you related to Shane Gray?

What are your name girls?

What were you buying?

Who is the little girl on your arm Mitchie?

Much more questions were asked but I tried to block them out. "Let me out!" I shouted over and over again but nobody seemed to noticed. I lost Ashlee and Brianna out of my eyes and then suddenly I heard Shane.

"Mitchie! Molly!" He shouted and tried to get us out of the crowd but they only pulled him into it more. He reached me and Molly and her crying got quieter.

"Shanie" She looked up at him, her little eyes opening and closing again from the flashes.

"Shh baby come here" He held her arms out for her and I gave her to him, little Molly wrapped her tinny arms around Shane's neck and cried in his neck. He held her close, rocking her up and down.

"Calm down baby, I'm here now okay?" She only nodded while Shane wrapped one arm around me and tried to lead us out of the mop.

Finally I could see the paparazzi loosen up and Ashlee, Brianna's and Caitlyn's features could be seen again. Caitlyn threw her arms around me and Shane along with Ashlee and Brianna, the two older sisters of Shane's were crying just like their little sister.

I was in a state of shock, my body was shaking but I didn't feel it, not before Shane wrapped both his arms around me and tried to hold me closer to him. I started crying, I was suddenly so happy we were all okay and the paparazzi backed away.

"Shh it's fine, let's get into the limo" Shane scooted me up in his arms like he held little Molly and walked over to the limo, Caitlyn held the door open and Shane climbed in with me.

I sat in his lap, my head burred in his shoulder as I continued crying. I never felt something like this before.

When I was out in the mop of paparazzi's I was so afraid. Afraid of Molly, her sister's and afraid of myself. It felt like dieing, you couldn't breath anymore and there were coming questions from every side you would look at, it felt like deep water where you couldn't get out of without any help. I felt as helpless in this moment as I never did before.

As I finally calmed down a bit I could still hear Molly crying, she was in Ashlee's arms, and Ashlee tried to calm her down.

"I'm so sorry, I tried to take care of her" I managed to get the sentence out.

"You have nothing to be sorry about" Shane spoke slowly, as if he was afraid of something. I only nodded and starred in his eyes, he look a lock from my hair and put it behind my ear, caressing my cheek. I leaned into his hand and smiled.

"I thought they were going to hurt you, you and Molly, I was so afraid something would happen to you" Shane whispered in my ear, you could hear the fear in his voice, or else could see it in his eyes.

"I was so afraid" I whispered back and another tear rolled down my cheek. I felt Shane wipe it away as he gave me a small smile.

"I only know one way to protect you all from this" He looked sad, I don't know why but I heard him gulp.

"What is it Shane?" He looked me in the eyes, they were filled with tears.

"I can't have the most important people around me, I have to let go of them, let them life their life without the drama of my life, I need to let go of you Mitchie"

It took me a moment to realize what he was saying but then my head shoot up.

He wanted to break up with me, but I only got him now, I wouldn't let go of him again, not that easily. I could go through this but only when he was with me. He couldn't leave me now!

"NO!" I shouted but soon put my hand over my mouth, tears were falling down from my eyes again. "You can't" I said and tried to look in his eyes but he only looked down.

His sisters and my best friend were watching by now, I think they were confused by why I started to yell, but I couldn't and I wouldn't lose Shane now. He already meant to much to me to let him go again, even when we just got together I knew him since a half year now and he really was something more for me then only a short boyfriend it didn't work out with and you would never see again.

"Mitch, this could happen every day, what is when you will get hurt because some paparazzi pushes you? I couldn't stand it, knowing I was the one who caused this."

"You wouldn't cause it Shane, it wouldn't be your fault" I had my arms tight around him, refusing to let go.

Nobody said a word again until the limo stopped.

"Shane..." I whispered. "Please"

"Do you still want to go and see Sammie?" He asked me and I nodded.

"Okay but I can't come with you"

I shook my head.

"Shane stop this" Brianna said. "We all will go and meet the little girl now, you can't break up with Mitchie over something like that, now can you?"

It was silent again, I could see Shane's tears, I didn't know what they meant.

"It's not because of that" He looked me straight in the eyes and said: "I was only using you Mitchie, I never liked you like this"

At this moment my heart broke, I could hear Caitlyn, Ashlee and Brianna gasp but all I could do was give him one more kiss. I knew it was too much a dream to be true.

Shane Gray liking me. What was I thinking? How could I be that stupid. I got out of his grip and got out of the limo, we stood in front of the hospital, no paparazzi's were here, Hallelujah. Caitlyn followed me out of the limo and slammed the door closed, she brought me in an hug as the limo drove away with Shane. Shane my ex-boyfriend.
