Leaving The Past
A few months after the second therapy session with Shawn, Christian and Rebecca, Rebecca and Shawn were sitting on the couch in their house in San Antonio. Rebecca and the children had forgiven Shawn for what he had done to them and Christian moved out of the house. Every weekend, Rebecca, Shawn and the kids would have a family night, where all four of them would sit down and talk to each other about how their week went and then they would play games and watch movies and eat junk food. The skies had cleared for both Shawn and Christian. Although Christian didn't date Rebecca or live with Rebecca, he still spoke to her and they remained good friends. He would come over every once in a while and talk to Rebecca about how things would go with her kids and herself, but he would never talk about Shawn. Shawn didn't like Christian and Christian didn't like Shawn, and thats how things would remain to be until the end.
Family Night
"Haha, that was great, Shawn!" Rebecca laughed as Shawn grabbed all the chips from the middle of the table. Rebecca and Shawn had just taught Cameron and Cheyenne how to play Poker. Cheyenne and Rebecca laughed and Cameron didn't like it. "Stop laughing! We're losing and he's winning!" Cameron looked at his cards and then looked at his dad. "I thought you were on my side, kiddo!" Shawn smiled at Cameron. "Not when we're playing cards!" Cameron said in the cutest, most childish voice an eight year old can have. Shawn started laughing and they continued to play Poker. The game went on and on for hours until Cameron finally won! Shawn congratulated him along with Rebecca and they all sat down and watched a movie. Rebecca had made Shawn and the kids popcorn for the movie. Of course, Cameron and Cheyenne being little kids, they all watched a childish, family friendly movie. Shawn put his arm around Rebecca and the children and kissed Rebecca on the forehead. Both Cameron and Cheyenne laughed almost all the way until the movie was over and hugged their mother and father. "Did you two like the movie, kiddos?" Shawn smirked. Cameron and Cheyenne smiled and expressed their love for the movie and their parents. "Yeah! The movie was great! Thank you mommy, thanks Daddy!" Cameron and Cheyenne jumped on their mother and father's lap. "Well, now kiddos, its time to go to sleep." Shawn grabbed Cheyenne from Rebecca and picked them both up, taking them to their rooms and tucking them into bed. "Night Cameron, night Cheyenne." Shawn kissed them both on their cheeks and turned off the light, then going back downstairs to Rebecca.
Hanging Out With Christian
Shawn was out with Hunter, Kevin Nash and Ric Flair for the day. He had asked if Rebecca wanted to go with him, but she told him to go out with his friends and have fun without her for now. Christian, having a key to the house, opened the front door and walked in. Rebecca was on the computer, trying to find something cute to print out to give to Shawn, and didn't even notice Christian walk in. Christian snuck up behind Rebecca and covered her eyes with his hands. "Surprise, Becky." Christian uncovered her eyes and she looked up at him. "Hey Christian, hows it going?" She got up and gave him a big hug. Christian hugged her back and responded with smile on his face. "Great, how about you, Beck?" Christian crossed his arms with a smirk on his face. His smirks weren't arrogant as they were a few months ago, instead it was a sincere smirk. "Great, thanks. Sit down, do you want anything to eat or to drink?" Christian shook his head no and sat down. "How are the kids?" Christian pulled Rebecca onto the couch with him playfully and laughed. Rebecca laughed with him. "They're fine, they are upstairs playing games. Either that or they are playing with wrestling action figures and things like that." Rebecca smiled. "I think we should hang out more, Christian." She crossed her legs on the couch. "I think we should hang out more too. But I think I need to get more used to everything that went on. You know, gather my thoughts. You know I still care about you, right?" Christian tilted his head. "Yes Christian, I know. And I still care about you too." Rebecca ran her fingers through her hair. "And you know I still...well...love you, right?" Christian bit his lip. "Again Christian, I know...and I still love you too. But now...its more like I love you like a brother, you know?" Christian nodded. "Well, I've got to go. I'll talk to you later, Beck." Christian winked at Rebecca and left. A few minutes later, Shawn walked in, giving Rebecca a big hug. "How was today, hun?" Rebecca hugged him back and looked up at him. "Great. I love you, Becky." Shawn kissed her. "I love you too." Rebecca smiled and kissed him back.
