Lily looked at me; "Shawn?"
"Oh right you needed to talk to me."
"Yeah."
We headed through the kitchen and into the backyard. The night was cold dark quiet and snow covered.
"Shawn," lily began.
"Yeah?"
"I don't like the fact that you just up and left without telling anyone."
"I told Stacey."
"That's not the point. You didn't tell me. If we're going to be raising the kids you cannot do that."
"I know that's what Rachel said."
"Well she's right. And knowing doesn't change things. You have to act upon it."
"I'll try and do better."
"Thank you that's all I ask."
"Actually that's-" I began.
"Hey hold on," lily said.
I heard Morgan calling from inside the house.
"Is it ok if Morgan borrows your keys for a bit?" lily asked me.
"Um sure."
I took my keys out of my pocket and gave them to lily who tossed them to Morgan.
"Thanks," she said.
I smiled.
"What?" she asked in protest.
"I can't imagine you tossing anything much less keys. I mean you're so…such a lady."
"Yeah I guess that was a surprise. You were saying?"
"Right. Uh that's actually what I wanted to talk to you about. Is the kids."
"Yes?"
"I was thinking jack and Rachel could raise them until were out of school."
"What about Cory and Topanga? Topanga seems very sweet."
"Yeah well. We kinda had a fight. And they're busy."
"Oh."
"What do you think?"
"I'll think about it."
"Oh and lily? Before ya go."
"hm?"
"In a few days I'm goin back to Ohio."
"Why?"
"To. Visit someone."
"Ok thanks for letting me know."
"You're welcome."
"Think I'll get going. You want to come?"
"No no I need to be alone for awhile," I told her.
"Ok. Well have a good night then."
"You too."
"Good night Shawn," she told me standing up on her toes and kissing me.
"Good night lily," I told her kissing her back.
