Dean didn't know how to start off the conversation. He just watched as Renee poured him a cup of coffee.
"Thanks," he said. He put some sugar into his coffee then stirred his drink.
"You're welcome," Renee said. She poured herself a cup of coffee. "It's good to see you again."
"It's good to see you, too."
Renee placed the coffee pot back in the coffee maker then took some powder creamer out of the cabinet near the stove.
"You want some creamer?" she asked.
"Nah. I'm good," Dean said.
Renee walked back to the table and was about to sit down until Dean stopped her.
"Wait a minute," Dean said.
Renee watched as Dean walked around her. He pulled out her chair. Smiling, Renee sat down as Dean pushed her chair in beneath her.
"Thank you," she said.
"You're welcome," Dean said. He sat back down and drunk some of his coffee. "I'm sure you've missed me pulling out chairs and opening doors for you, huh?"
"I do miss you pulling out chairs and opening doors for me," Renee said. "But I don't deserve any special treatment."
She took a sip of her coffee and sat the cup back down.
They two of them sat in silence for a minute or so. A million thoughts were running through their brain. Finally, the silence was broken between them.
"I'm sorry," they both said.
They stared at each other when they said those words. Renee continued to speak.
"I'm sorry for getting the abortion. I'm sorry for not telling you about it. You know why I did it. You had every right to throw me out of your house."
"No, I didn't. I did not have the right to throw you out of the house like you were a rag doll. I am sorry. I am sorry for being an asshole to you. This whole time I've been thinking about how I've been hurt but never considered your feelings. I hope you can forgive me."
"I forgive you. Do you forgive me?"
Dean nodded his head.
"I forgive you."
They got up and hugged each other. Renee started to cry into Dean's chest. Dean held onto her tightly as if she was going to run away.
"I want to be with you," Dean said. "I want to start over again."
Renee nodded her head in response.
Dean reached into his pocket then got on one knee. He opened the black box that was in his hand. The ruby ring he had given Renee before was shining bright.
"Will you marry me, Renee Paquette?" Dean said.
Renee nodded her head again.
"Yes, Dean Ambrose. I will!"
She held out her left hand. Dean took the ring out of box and placed it on her finger.
He got back up and hugged Renee again.
"I've missed you so much," he said.
"I've missed you, too. I know it's only been a month but still," Renee said.
"A month too long," Dean said.
The two lovebirds finally kissed each other. They missed laying with each other. They messed making love to each other.
"Hmm...I need to fuck you. Like right now," Dean said.
"Stop talking about it and carry me to the fucking room, dimplehead," Renee said.
"Your phone is ringing," Dean said.
"Who is it?" Renee asked.
Dean turned his head to the right to take a look at Renee's cell phone on the nightstand next to the bed.
"Your mother."
"Let the phone ring."
Dean and Renee had lost track of time. They had had sex with each other for a couple of hours. They were cuddling together underneath the covers.
"You think we'll ever have children?" Dean asked.
Renee knew Dean was still sad over the abortion. She could hear it in his voice.
"Maybe," she said.
"Can you still have children?" Dean asked.
"I'm not sure," Renee said. "I have to go to the clinic and find out."
Dean didn't know what else to say. If they couldn't conceive a child, there was always adoption.
"I think I'll be able to," Renee said. "I hope so."
"Me too. How about adoption?"
"That'll be our backup plan."
"You know what else I kept thinking about?"
"What is it?"
"Having you move in with me. I want you to live with me."
"I really want to live with you."
"Perfect."
Renee tickled Dean's ribs.
"Hey!" he said.
He rolled over and laid on top of Renee.
"Hi," Renee said.
"You're a wonderful lady. You know that?"
"I'm not."
"Hush. You are. I still feel bad about what I did."
Renee placed a hand on Dean's cheek.
"It's in the past," she said. "You were upset. I forgave you. You forgave me. You can't beat yourself up over that. But if you do throw me out of the house again, I'm gonna kick your ass."
Dean chuckled.
"I needed that," he said.
He gave Renee another kiss on her lips.
"I'm hungry," he said. "What would you like to eat?"
"I'm not sure," Renee said. "It doesn't matter to me."
"You know what? I have a taste for Renee Paquette instead!" Dean said.
Dean playfully kissed Renee's neck.
"Ah! Dean!" she said.
"What was that!?" Dean said.
"Stop!"
"Keep going? Okay!"
"Noo!"
Renee had laughed so hard that tears were flowing down her cheeks.
"Okay! OKAY!" she said
Dean kissed Renee's chin. He ran his fingers through her soft blonde locks.
"I'm going to order some Chinese food," Dean said. "Is that alright?"
"It is," Renee said. "But before we order food...there's one more thing we need to do..."
Putting her arms around Dean's neck, she pulled him into a kiss. Dean put Renee's legs around his waist then entered into her again.
The two of them lost track of time once again as they made love to each other.
They would eat eventually later that night.
"Well, how did it go?" Sami asked Dean.
They were talking in front of Sami's house. Dean had came by to return Sami's wallet to him. Sami had left it in Dean's truck. Sami would lose his ass if it wasn't connected to his body.
"We talked and made up," Dean said. "We're engaged again."
"That's great," Sami said. "I'm really glad you guys worked everything out."
"Me too," Dean said.
"Are you guys still planning on having children?"
"Only time will tell."
"I know you'll make a great dad if you guys do have children."
"Thanks. It really means a lot to me."
"You're welcome. If you guys do decide to have another kid, I'm going to be the first to babysit. No questions asked."
Dean chuckled.
"I think you're going to have to contend with Pamela, Lisa, and Aaron with that."
"So be it."
"Alright. Time for me to get out of here."
"See ya."
Dean gave Sami a hug before leaving.
"Everything has gone well. He wants me to move in with him," Renee said. "I think it's about time I do. I love being over here with you and Aaron."
"If you are giving away any of your stuff from your house, I call first dibs," Lisa said.
"You'll have to battle Pamela then."
"So be it."
Lisa and Renee were cooking dinner. Aaron was riding his scooter around the house.
"Aaron Washington, if you don't get your behind off of that scooter," Lisa said.
"But Mommy," Aaron said.
"Get off the scooter. Go put it outside then come back in here and wash up," Lisa said.
Aaron reluctantly put his scooter outside in the backyard then came back in the house. He went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
"How is it to have a child? I know it's not always easy," Renee said. She added some salt into the mashed potatoes and started to stir them.
"There's ups and downs. I messed up by letting Jerry verbally abuse Aaron. That's why Aaron would sometimes say he isn't stupid. Jerry used to call him all types of names. I haven't been the best mother," Lisa said.
"Don't say that. You're a great mother. You were in a bad place with the wrong person is all," Renee said.
"Thanks. The new guy I'm seeing is nice," Lisa said. She grabbed some plates from the cabinet. "I really like him."
"That's terrific. I'm going to kick his ass if he tries anything," Renee said.
"He won't," Lisa said.
Dean had walked into the house. He locked the screen door then the front door.
"Something smells fantastic!" he said. "Ah. Food."
"Dinner will be served in the next few minutes," Lisa said from the kitchen.
Aaron had walked back into the living room and saw his uncle.
"Uncle Dean!" Aaron said. He ran up to Dean and hugged his leg.
"Hello there," Dean said. He picked Aaron up and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "How have you been?"
"Good. I was riding my scooter in the living room. But Mommy made me put it outside," Aaron said.
"You know you're not supposed to ride your scooter in the house. But you know what?" Dean said. "I could show you a thing or two about riding a scooter. Show you some tricks."
Aaron giggled.
"My scooter is too small for you!" he said.
"I beg to differ! Time to eat!" Dean said.
Dean watched as Renee slipped on her nightgown. He had missed the sight of Renee dressing into her night clothes. He had missed her laugh, her smile, the awkward way she dances, the delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies with walnuts she made, the smell of her perfume, her humming a tune sometimes when she was in the shower, everything. Hell, he missed Renee Paquette. Period.
"What?" Renee said as she slid under the covers.
"Nothing," Dean said. "Nothing."
"You've missed me being here with you," Renee said. "We will be together forever."
"Damn right we will," Dean said.
They gave each other a kiss goodnight. Dean turned off his light and laid right behind Renee. He placed his hand on her stomach and started to rub it. Renee smiled to herself as she placed her hand over Dean's.
Dean was happy to be engaged to Renee again.
Once again, he was happy.
