"Linda, can I please come in and talk to you". Linda
looked at her husband, it seemed like such a long time since she had heard his
voice. There was still that part of her that wanted to give him another chance, to
listen to what he had to say. "Vince I don't want to talk, I think you have said
enough". "Look Linda, please just let me come in and talk for 5 minutes".
"That's all I am asking is for 5 minutes". Linda knew he would win, "Okay but
only 5 minutes and your out". Vince nodded, "okay, okay". Vince walked into
the house and they both sat down.
"Linda, I just want you to know how sorry I am". "I know the things I said
were very hurtful". "You said to me, I hope you hurt like I did when you
cheated". "Linda I am hurting, I miss you very much". "Please don't go though
with this divorce". "Vince I told you that it's over". "I don't want to be with
someone who causes me misery". "Vince I was never happy when I was with
you". "I never smiled, I never laughed". "Just the other day for the first time in a
long time, I smiled". "Vince I never smiled when I was with you". "I only smiled
when we first met". "That was the only time I was truly happy". "Look at us were
no couple anymore". "Linda everything can change things can be like they were
before". Linda frowned, "I am afraid they can't, Vince". "Vince it's too late for
us, we are a lost cause".
Vince became angry, he wasn't hearing what he wanted to hear. "You know
I don't know why I ever married you Linda". "All you always did was bitch at
me". "Why don't you come home, why can't we be a family". "That's all I ever
heard from you". "Now looking at you, I could have got better but I settled on
you". "To think at one time I actually loved you". Linda became enraged was he
really saying this. Linda stood up and got right in Vince's face. "Vince, to think I
ever loved you". Linda raised her hand and gave a good slap right to Vince's face.
"Now get out of here you no good bastard". Vince looked up at his wife and his
face was red. "You bitch". Vince left without even looking back. Linda sat back
on the couch and began to cry.
Shane looked at Dylan and said, "you ready to go buddy?" The boy nodded
and they headed out the door. Shane looked at Nikki and smiled, "thanks for
letting me take him". "It's not a problem, he seems to really like you Shane".
"You think so?" Nikki smiled, "I know so, how could he not like you?" Shane
looked at Nikki, "why did I ever break up with you?" "I don't know Shane". "I
will call you about our date also". Nikki smiled, "okay". "Dylan, honey you go
with your dad and you behave, understand me". Dylan nodded, "now can we go".
Shane smiled at his son, "let's go". "Dylan, why don't you go to the car for a
minute so I can talk to your dad, okay?" Dylan nodded and start to head for the
car. "Wait a minute young man". Dylan turned around to face his mother. "What
mom?" "Your mom doesn't get a hug anymore". Dylan smiled at his mom and
gave her a hug. Nikki placed a kiss on his cheek, "ok have fun, I love you". "I
will mom, I love you too". Dylan headed for the car again.
"Shane, I don't want my son coming home with the toy store". Shane
laughed, "well you will have to discuss that with my mom". "And I don't want
him coming home dressed like Hulk Hogan". Shane laughed again, "He won't
Nikki, I promise". "okay". Shane gave Nikki a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.
Nikki smiled, "bye Shane". "Bye Nikki". When Shane kissed Nikki she started to
get the old feelings back. The feelings she had in High School.
Shane got in the car and his son was sitting there. "You ready to go buddy".
"Yes". "Dylan waved to your mom". They both waved and headed to Greenwich.
"Now Dylan your going to be meeting two very special people". Dylan's face lit
up, "who dad?" "Well your going to met my mom and sister". "Which is your
grandma and Aunt". "Really? I have a Grandma and a Aunt too". Shane nodded,
"yes you do". "I know your going to like both of them and especially your
grandma, she is going to spoil you rotten". "Really? wow".
Linda sat back at the house crying. She couldn't believe the more hurtful
things that Vince had said. Were they true, was she no good? All she knew was
she could never forgive Vince for what he said. How could he say these things?
This was a man that said he loved her. How could you say this to someone you
love? She would never think of saying half the things he did. All she wanted was
someone to cry on. Linda couldn't wait for Stephanie to come back. She wasn't
expecting Shane because he was with Dylan. All She wanted to do was see
someone. Anyone that would comfort her. Linda didn't even feel guilty for
slapping Vince in the face. He deserved it, right?
Shane continued to talk to Dylan. "Well buddy were almost there". "Okay
dad, tell me more about Grandma and Steph". "Okay well your grandma is a CEO
of a company". "She can make very good food". "Well you know what you will
found out when you met her". "Oh come on dad, what about my aunt?" Shane
laughed, "you want to hear about your aunt Stephanie, huh?" "Trust me Dylan I
don't need to tell you anything about her". "Once you meet her she will talk your
ear off".
"Yes, trust me". Shane looked and noticed he was at Stephanie's apartment.
"Well Dylan were here". Both Dylan and Shane headed to the inside. Linda could
hear noise and was thankful that someone was home.
"Hello mom, Steph, anyone here". Linda was surprised to hear her son's
voice. "I'm in here Shane". Shane looked at Dylan and said "come on, follow me".
Shane looked at his mom and saw that she had been cry. "Mom, what's wrong, it
looks like you have been crying". Linda looked up and saw the little boy that she
knew must be Dylan. "Shane is this who I think it is". "Yes mom, this is Dylan".
Linda now had a big smile on her face. "Well hello Dylan". Dylan smiled. "Hi".
Dylan began to have a frown on his face. "Dylan, what's the frown for". Dylan
looked at Linda, "well your crying and I don't like to see people cry". Dylan then
went up to Linda and gave her a hug. Linda smiled again, "well thank you for the
hug that makes me feel better". "Your welcome, grandma". "Oh so I see you know
who I am already, huh?" "Yes dad told me about you". "Oh yeah, what bad things
did he tell you". "He didn't tell me anything bad". "He told me that your a CEO
and that you can cook very good". "Oh he did, huh?" "He didn't tell me much, he
said you will see".
"Well since I'm such a good cook, would you like something to eat?" "No
thank you". "How about you Shane, would you like anything?" "No thanks mom".
"Dylan did you bring some toys with you?" "Yes I did dad". "Could you maybe go
in the next room so I can talk to your grandma for a second?" "Sure dad". "What
toys did you bring, Dylan?" "Well I brought my favorite toy of all which is my
remote control car". "See grandma". "Yes I see." "I will have to keep that in mind
the next time I'm in the toy store". "See I told you Dylan your going to be spoiled
rotten". "Shane I'm his grandma of course I'm going to spoil him".
Just as Linda said that the door opened again. This time it was Stephanie.
"Hello mom, Shane I'm home". Stephanie walked in and saw a young boy.
"Stephanie, this is Dylan". "Hi Dylan, nice to meet you, I'm your aunt Stephanie".
"Hi aunt Stephanie nice to meet you too". "What do you have there?" "Is that a
remote control car?" "Oh I love these things". "Remember Shane when we were
younger you had one of these". "I used to love playing with these cars". "I know
you would take the remote from me". "Dylan you want to go outside and play with
the car". "It's better outside to because you have the concrete". Dylan's face lit up
"Really? Okay". They both headed outside and Shane couldn't help but laugh. "I
tell you mom I swear she is still a kid". "That's your sister".
Shane was sorta glad Stephanie took Dylan outside. He wanted to see why his
mother had been crying. Shane knew it had to be about his wonderful father.
"Mom, why were you crying?" Linda didn't want to tell her son. She didn't want to
ruin the mood. Shane looked happy and she didn't want to make him angry. Linda
knew if she told him what Vince had said he would go crazy. But Linda knew she
had to tell him, she had to tell someone.
"Well when you two were gone your father came over". "What, why did he
come over?" "He said that he wanted to talk, that he wanted another chance". "I
told him no and that he had said enough". "He begged me again and said please
just give me 5 minutes". "I finally just agreed and let him in". "He sat down and
said again that he was sorry and he had said some hurtful things". "He told me that
he missed me and that to call off the divorce". "He said that he was feeling hurt
without me and that he was sorry". "I told him that I still wanted a divorce and that
we couldn't stay together anymore". "I said he was a different man and that all he
caused me was misery". "When I said that I guess he got angry". "He told me that
all I did was bitch at him". "That he could have got better than me". "Why did he
ever love me?" "I of course became extremely mad and got in his face". "I then
slapped him in the face and told him that he was a no good bastard and to get out".
"He looked up at me and called me a bitch and left".
"He called you a bitch?" Linda nodded. "Oh I am going to hurt him I
swear". "Shane please come down". "I think I slapped some sense into him".
"Wow mom you really slapped him". "Yeah I did, I couldn't even believe I did it
myself". "Well he deserved it telling you all those hurtful things". "I don't think I
know my father anymore". "He just isn't the same man I remember". "I know
Shane, he defiantly is not the man I married".
"Dylan seems to like you Shane". "Yeah, he is a good kid, Nikki raised him
well". "He seemed to like you mom, he gave you a hug". "I know wasn't that cute
he saw me crying and gave me a hug". "So how is Nikki?" "She seems good".
"She works in a hospital in New York as a nurse". Linda smiled, "so she did
become a nurse". "Yes she did". "Mom it was funny today when I saw Nikki, it
was like I feel in love with her again". "Shane did you tell her this?" "Yes I did
and she told me she felt the same way". "So I asked to go out to dinner one time".
"Oh yeah, that's good". "You know if you need a baby-sitter I am here". "Okay,
thanks mom".
"Dylan seems to like your sister too which is good". "That might change".
"Why?" "Well she is outside with him probably trying to steal the remote from
him". "Just like when I was little". "No, you think?" "Mom this is Stephanie here".
"Maybe your right".
Shane and Linda both looked at the door and could hear some noise. "No it
was my turn next". "No you just had a turn". "Hey what is going on here". "Mom
he was cheating and got a extra turn". "Grandma she kept taking the remote from
me". "See what I mean mom". Linda smiled at Shane, "Steph aren't you the adult?"
"Yes but it was my turn". "No buts Dylan was nice enough to let you play with the
car". Shane looked at all of them "God I feel like I'm ten again when Stephanie
would take my toys". "I know I feel like you two are young again".
"Why don't I make so food everyone?" Everyone nodded and sat on the
couch. "What do you all want to eat?" Shane looked at Linda, "something quick
because I am starving". "Okay then how about some pasta". Everyone nodded in
approval and Linda headed to the kitchen.
"Lets watch some TV, dad". Shane nodded and put the TV on. "Do you
have a favorite show?" "Yes I like the Simpsons". "Really, that's like my favorite
show". "Who is your favorite character, dad". "My favorite is Homer, how about
you?" "Bart he is the coolest". "Well let's see if it's on". Shane flipped though the
channels and noticed it was on. "All right it's on". They all laughed and watch the
show till Linda came in. "Everyone the food is ready". Everyone nodded and
headed to the table.
"This looks really good, mom". "Thanks Shane". Linda took everyone's plate and
dished some pasta. "Everyone got some". They all nodded and begin to eat. Shane
looked around the table and smiled. Finally for him everything was right. His mom
had finally left his father. Stephanie was happily dating a guy that wasn't a jerk. He
was going to get back together with Nikki. And most importantly he had his son
Dylan. To him he truly had the perfect family, even if his dad wasn't apart of it
