I DO NOT OWN ANYONE OR ANYTHING IN THIS STORY BESIDES THE OC'S.
Dawn's Point of View-
I was in the kitchen cleaning Jazmine's dishes listening to Shannon and Jazmine in the other room, I pulled out my cell phone calling Eric.
"Hello?" Eric asked answering.
"Hey, you want to go do something today?" I asked leaning against the counter.
"Sure, like what?" Eric asked as I could tell he was doing something.
"Well, it'll be just you and me, do you want to go to a movie or lunch?"
"Sounds good, I'll be over in a few, got to do a few things."
"Don't worry, me too, I'm not even dressed." I said looking down at my pajama's.
"Alright, talk to you soon." Eric said before he hung up, I hung up setting my phone on the counter before I walked around the corner to the door frame.
"Do you want to go to the park today?" Shannon asked.
"I thought we were going to do dress up?" Jazmine said pouting, I leant against the kitchen door frame watching this, Shannon is being a great dad right now, he's actually interested in her life and wants to be there to make up for the time he has missed, the smile that is on his face that I'm sure hasn't left his face since I told him yesterday that he had a girl and that he could come over here and see her, if anything it got bigger. He has this genuine happiness vibe coming off him, and you could tell he wasn't forced to come see her, I could tell he loves her by the way he looks at her with his eyes.
"Why don't we do dress up then go to the park?" Shannon asked.
"Could I wear my princess costume to the park?" Jazmine asked.
"Are you sure you want to do that? It'll get dirty and messy." Shannon said as Amy walked out in her Universal outfit, I totally forgot she worked the morning shift today, shitake.
"Aunt Amy, morning!" Jazmine said jumping off Shannon's lap running up to Amy wrapping her tiny arms around Amy's legs.
"Morning Jazmine, Shannon." Amy said nodding towards Shannon.
"You know Shannon?" Jazmine asked.
"Yeah, you know me?" Shannon asked.
"Yeah, I met you when you met Dawn." Amy said.
"Right, the one that was in love with Matt." Shannon said as I could tell a light bulb just went off in his head.
"Yeah, thanks for only remembering me for that." Amy said rolling her eyes.
"You two are still best friends?" Shannon asked as Jazmine ran down the hall to the bathroom.
"Yep, I just moved in, well, I got to head to work, I talked to Antonio and he's working today as well so I'm safe." Amy said hugging me before she walked out the front door.
"Do I want to know?" Shannon asked.
"Not really." I said as I heard a little bell ring. "Coming." I said walking down the hall to help Jazmine finish, she run back down the hall.
"Crackers!" She exclaimed, when I walked out she was jumping up and down.
"Crackers?" Shannon asked.
"Yeah, every time she goes to the bathroom she gets so many animal crackers." I said.
"Interesting." Shannon said as Jazmine ran into the kitchen, I pulled out the animal crackers.
"Tiger and monkey." Jazmine said, I dug through the box looking for them handing her one each, she happily ate them.
"Why don't you show me this princess outfit?" Shannon asked.
"Okay." She said, Jazmine grabbed Shannon's hand and they walked to Jazmine's room, I went into my own room quickly getting changed into my outfit for the day, I slipped on some tennis shoes bare foot since I didn't want to bother with socks. I walked out and to Jazmine's room to see Shannon helping Jazmine with the princess dress.
"Your more beautiful." Shannon said as he ran a hand through her hair.
"I'm princess, I'm always beautiful." Jazmine said.
"That you are." Shannon said, I'm sure he is in such shock looking at her, Jazmine grabbed her brush handing it to Shannon. "You want me to do your hair?" He asked pulling her up onto the bed between his legs, he took the brush lightly running it through her hair, I walked in pulling a ponytail off her dresser handing it to Shannon as he pulled it up into a single ponytail.
"Where's your shoes?" I asked.
"Closet." Jazmine said, I went to the closet opening it to see where Amy put them last night, I pulled them out squatting down helping Jazmine put them on.
"Do you like getting your picture taken princess Jazmine?" Shannon asked.
"Mm hmm…mommy takes my picture lots." Jazmine said, he just turned giving me a death glare.
"Sorry." I said shrugging, I'm sure I'll hear that lecture later.
"Would you take one with me princess Jazmine?" Shannon asked pulling out his Black Berry cell phone turning it to camera mode.
"Okay!" Jazmine said happily, she climbed up onto her bed and crawled onto his lap, she stood up to be his height, I grabbed his phone and held it up.
"1-2-3." I said snapping the photo of the two, it was cute. I heard knocking come to the door, I walked out opening it to Eric standing there.
"Hey, why is Shannon's hummer in the driveway?" He asked walking in.
"Because he's here." I said as I shut the door, Shannon walked out of Jazmine's room behind Jazmine.
"Hey Eric." Shannon said.
"ERIC!" Jazmine said running up to Eric, he picked her up giving her a light hug.
"How have you been?" Eric asked.
"Good, Shannon and I are going to park." Jazmine said.
"You are?" Eric asked.
"Yep, you want to come?" Jazmine asked.
"No thank you, maybe next time, your mom and I are going out." Eric said lightly scratching Jazmine's stomach, I know he is going to be angry when we get in the car.
"Well, we are leaving, let me get the stroller for you." I said walking back to my room grabbing my purse and the stroller for Shannon carrying it out to the front door area where everyone was still crowded around. I opened the stroller, Jazmine climbed in happily trying to buckle herself in. "Do you have dolly?" I asked.
"No!" Jazmine exclaimed unbuckling herself running to her room grabbing her doll coming back holding onto her tightly climbing back into the stroller.
"Don't forget her at the park, okay?" I asked squatting down in front of her making sure her buckle was fastened correctly and tightly.
"Won't mommy." Jazmine said smiling, I kissed her forehead before I opened the door allowing Shannon to push her out with Eric behind him, I was last out shutting the door locking it with my key, I took my key off handing it to Shannon.
"I expect this key back tonight at TNA." I said pointing at him with the key.
"I will." Shannon said smiling snatching the key out of my hand.
"Alright, the park is up that way two streets and half way down that street, keep close eye on her." I said.
"I will, I think I got it." Shannon said, I slightly smiled, I walked over to Eric's car about to climb in, "Hey, where's your car?"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Your car?"
"I'll discuss it later." I said, he shrugged as he kept on pushing her in the direction I told him.
