Swear It Again

Chapter 12

**Shelby**
I sighed as I finally got home I was exhausted
carrying a sleeping 6 yr old. I chuckled at her she
was all grungy from playing and had a pizza face. I
carried her up getting her dressed for bed. I walked
back downstairs looking for something to eat. I
sighed sitting down, feeling the corner of the
envelope poking me. I took out the letter reading it.

Shelby,
It has been long you're probably not going
to get this until after the reunion anyway. How's
Stephanie? I'll give you this, she's as beautiful as
you, know that for a fact. I don't know what will go
on at the reunion since I'm only leaving for there
tomorrow morning. Please know that I will love you
forever no matter what. My offer still stands will
you marry me? I would never hurt you or Steph, I'll
swear it again and as many times as you'd like. Please
let me know Shelby.
Love always and forever,
Scott

P.S. I live across the street Shell!

**Narrator**
Shelby read the last part of the letter, she had been
crying through the whole thing. Shocked she stood up
picking up the phone she heard him answer "Bob? Could
you come over and keep and eye on Steph please?"
Hearing him chuckle. She grabbed her jacket as it had
started to rain outside running outside getting wet.
Bob came over to her with a worried expression on his
face "What's wrong?"
Shelby talked frantically "Which house is Scott's?"
Bob smiled a bit "That one." He said pointing to a
house down the street. Shelby smiled through her tears
giving Bob a peck on the cheek then running down the
street to his house. Bob laughed watching her go.
She knocked on the door but got no answer, she then
started banging on the door "Scott!!" She then fell
down on the step crying.

Shelby walked back across the street to her house, she
wiped her tears away soaking wet from the rain.
Walking inside closing the door "Bob? He wasn't home I
blew it-" She got caught off guard turning into her
living room. Scott sat there in a chair smiling a bit
Shelby fainted.

~*~*~Dreaming of different flashbacks~*~*~

Scott, "You know how much I love you don't you? So
much I would die for you?"
"...You are the one I want to be with you and only
you."
"Shell, I can't fight the way I feel for you. That's
why I can't be around you, every time I look at you I
see what we had, what we could still have."
"Shelby I swear that I will never leave you"I don't
care whose baby it is I can raise it as my own! I love
you. I just swore that I wouldn't leave you, please
don't push me away let me help."
Stephanie, "Mommy where's my daddy?"
Shelby, "Why didn't you ever say goodbye?"
Scott, "Guess you never gave me a reason to."
"...I swore to you that I would die for you and that I
would never leave you. I still swear it to you and
I'll swear it again and again until I know you've
heard it, because I love you I have never stopped
loving you and I never will!"
Shelby, "...I'm not running from anything anymore, but
if you think it is goodbye I want to hear? Say it now
please."
Scott, "Goodbye Shelby"
~*~*~*~*~*~End of Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~

"I'm never gonna say goodbye, cause I never wanna see
you cry, I swore to you my love would remain and I'll
swear it all over again." Scott was singing to her,
her eyes fluttered open to look up into his. He
smiled "Hey, have a nice sleep?" Shelby just looked up
at him still shocked a bit "I think I'm still
dreaming...you're here." She reached up touching his
cheek to make sure he was real.
Scott smiled a bit holding her hand "You didn't really
think you could get rid of me that easily did you?"
Shelby shook her head smiling a bit "I'm sorry for
everything Scott"
"I am too...I love you Shelby. I'm never going to hurt
you or leave you, I swear forever."
Shelby smiled "I think I'm the one who should swear
that, I do. I love you Scott, without you I'm
nothing."
She then leaned up kissing him he kissed back a bit.
Shelby pulled back smiling a bit "If you're not too
busy, will you marry me?" Scott chuckled. "You don't
even have to ask." They then started kissing again
until they were interrupted by a little voice. "Mommy
I can't sleep." A sleepy Stephanie walked out to them
in the living room. They turned to look at her then to
eachother smiling.

**A Month Later**

There are something's in this life won't be denied
won't be denied

The late spring early summer air flew all around.
Shelby walked with Bob down the isle smiling up ahead
at Scott. They finally met, Daisy smiled standing
next to Stephanie as Shelby's matron of honor. Ezra
and Auggie stood behind Scott as they said their vows.
They kissed when they were pronounced husband and
wife and the whole room cheered.

And the more that you love me, the more that I know
oh that I'm never gonna let you go
gotta let you know
that I


They walked together back down the isle on their way
out, Stephanie jumped into Scott's arms "Daddy!" He
chuckled catching her smiling at Shelby. She smiled
back leaning over giving him a kiss in which he
returned. Stephanie giggled at them they got into a
bit of a group family hug. Everyone was hugging and
congratulating them. They chuckled kissing again the
first moment they had. Shelby smiled whispering to him
"Will you swear it?" Scott laughed a bit looking in
her eyes "I'll swear it again until the end of time!"
He then kissed her.

I'm never gonna say goodbye (I'm never gonna say
goodbye)
cause I never wanna see you cry (I never wanna see you
cry)
I swore to you my love would remain
and I swear it all over again and I (swear it all over
again, and I)
I'm never gonna treat you bad (I never wanna treat you
bad)
cause I never wanna see you sad (I never gonna see you
sad)
I swore to share your joy and your pain (oh no, oh no)
and I swear it all over again
all over again
all over again

They pulled away a moment just smiling at eachother.

And I swear it all over again

~The End~
