Aunt Mandy asked to talk to Shawn alone so MJ and I went back into the waiting room. Mandy looked at Shawn, "I need to talk to you about the girls. I have no idea where they're going to go when I pass away." Shawn shook his head, "You shouldn't have to worry about that Mandy, you have too much to worry about as it is." Mandy shook her head, "I don't know how to tell the girls. The doctors said I only have a few more days to live, we had no idea that the cancer had spread so quickly. I'm in so much pain right now but I don't want to leave my girls, I'm all they have." "You're not all they have. They have me, and Paul, and pretty much every wrestler on the roster. Heck, even Vinnie Mac loves 'em, that's gotta say something. You're girls are so loveable, none of us, me especially would ever let anything bad happen to them. I know this sounds stupid, but they're like my own little girls in a way. As soon as I met them that first time I fell for 'em and there's no way that I can stop loving them, I wouldn't want to." Mandy started to cry. "Shawn… I know what I have to do now. You love my girls so much, you just said so yourself." Mandy took a deep breath, "I would be honored if you would take the girls after I pass away. They love you so much, and I think that being with people they love is important, it might make the pain from loosing me…" Mandy took another deep breath, "It might make the pain hurt less or go away faster." Shawn took Mandy in his arms, while in their embrace he said, "I would love to take care of the girls. Whatever makes the three of you happy is all that matters to me right now." They let go of each other and Mandy said, "Would you go get the girls, I would like to tell them now so that they can know ahead of time. I also need to tell them how severe my condition is. I don't want to lie to them any more." Shawn got up and went to get MJ and Babs.
MJ and I came into the room slowly. We were very scared about what Aunt Mandy and Shawn had been talking about. Aunt Mandy spoke, "Girls, come sit on my bed with me, will you?" MJ and I both climbed onto the bed with Aunt Mandy. "Girls, I know you're scared right now. I'm scared too. I wanted to tell you all the doctor has told me. They've taken lots of tests on me since I've gotten here. The doctors found out that the cancer has spread all over my body, they don't think I'll live much longer. They're saying about a week." MJ and I both gave Aunt Mandy a huge hug, the three of us started crying and then Shawn joined in on the hug. After a few minutes we let go of one another and I noticed that Shawn had been crying also.
Then Aunt Mandy continued, "I've been thinking of who you'd live with after I passed away for a long time, ever since I found out about the cancer. I've finally decided on someone, or a group of people if you two would rather, that I think will be exactly what you girls need. Shawn loves you girls so much and you love him quite a bit too, so if it's alright with you I would like to leave you with Shawn." MJ and I looked at Shawn, "You're gonna take us in?" asked MJ. "If you girls let me, I would love to take care of you. MJ, Babs, ever since I met you two I've loved you from the bottom of my heart. I always wanted kids, and I think that if I ever have little girls I want them to be just like you two." I looked at Shawn confused, "But… if you take us in then wouldn't we be like you're little girls? Or would we just be two little girls that you take care of cuz their aunt died?" Shawn looked hurt by what I had said so I felt bad, but at the same time I was really confused. "Girls, I would love for you to be my little girls. I would love if you came with me, lived with me, and were always with me no matter what." Aunt Mandy cut in, "MJ, Babs… would you feel better if Shawn adopted you? Or would that be too forward for us to do?" MJ and I looked at each other, then we got big smiles on our faces, "You'd adopt us?? So we'd actually be your kids?" Shawn smiled, "I would love to be like a dad to you. I'm not sure I would want to change your last name, I wouldn't want you to feel like you were disrespecting either you parents or Mandy, but I would still love to adopt you."
So all that was settled. MJ and I spent all of our time with Aunt Mandy while she was in the hospital. We tried to make her last days special and we didn't want her to be in too much pain, figuring that if we did things and played games with her she wouldn't be able to concentrate on the pain. On June 24th, a week and two days after Aunt Mandy was in the hospital she passed away in her sleep.
It was very sad but we were just happy that in the end she didn't feel any pain. We knew that she was in heaven with our mom and dad, and our grandparents and that now we had one more Angel to look after us from above. The fact that Shawn, Paul and the rest of the WWF helped us through the pain from losing Aunt Mandy helped a lot. We travel on the road with Shawn and 'the boys' and we couldn't be any happier. We're being home schooled by a woman named Cassy, she's really nice and we learn a lot from our lessons. All in all I know I wouldn't change anything for the world, without everything happening the way it did who knows if we would have ever met Shawn, Paul or any of the other wrestlers. Mom, Dad, Aunt Mandy we love you and we miss you. Thank you for everything you've done for us, we'll never forget you.
**Please Review. I'm thinking of writing a sequel to this when the girls get older, but I want to know that you think before I start. Thank so much. --Jess**
