Chapter 7-News Of All Kinds

Angela stared deep into his eyes; Shawn could see the shooting star flying in her eye and the moon reflecting. Angela could see herself in the direct middle of Shawn's eyes, and it was the same for Shawn. Fate had brought them together; and they knew that they were meant for eachother. "Yes Shawn". "Ever since I laid my eyes on you Shawn Hunter, I knew I loved you". "You were so dark; full of mystery"! "And you were so dramatic and of course, romantic". "I never dreamed of having someone like you". "Even when we fought, I still loved you".

"And Angela": "From the moment I looked deep into your eyes, I knew". "Even when I said I didn't know, I was only so confused". "Everyone had grown up faster than me; Cory, Topanga," "It was all I ever knew". "I felt so lost and alone". "My dad, [though I didn't know it at the time] was such a help". "My mom.not so much". "But now my dads gone, and I can't tell him that". (Shawn's voice shook at the last part) "But sometimes, as the guidance consoler once told me, the solution was to find yourself first". "And when Jonathan stopped me, I thought he was all wrong". "I thought I knew what I had to do". "But he was right". "No one saw how slowly miserable I became". "To most it seemed like The Great Shawn Hunter had everything". "Girls, luck in school, good looks". "But what people didn't understand is that it wasn't everything". "Not even close". "Because as I watched Cory and Topanga grow up before me, I became so lonely and unsure". "You see, the thing I was lacking on most, the thing I wanted, the thing I NEEDED, was love". "It seemed everyone had it but me". "Sure there were lots or great girls don't get me wrong". (Shawn smiled) "And there were times that I really felt I had found love". "But I just wanted it so bad that I was imagining it". "And I hurt those girls so bad because they really loved me". "Though I didn't mean to hurt them". "I just wanted to tell them the truth".

"I waited and waited". "I watched Cory and Topanga grow up even more". "Everyday they grew different". "But I stayed the same". "Everything stayed the same for me". "But I didn't realize that I hadn't been ready to love yet". "I just wasn't old enough". "I thought that no girls loved me and I was doing something wrong". "I got told quite a few times by each girl that I just wasn't: Boyfriend Material." "But they were wrong". "I just wasn't at that age yet". "I still wanted to pull pranks". "To fake sick to get out of school". "I didn't know that I was growing up everyday". "I watched Cory and Topanga break up, and get back together". ("With my help of course")- Shawn joked. "I thought I'd never find love". "But one day, I did". "I believe it was one of the two best days of my life". "A new girl named Angela had come to school". "I found my desire for pranks and faking sick gone". "It seemed to me like they were getting old". "I'd never experienced that feeling before, so I grew a bit scared". "Then a girl who I'd never seen before walked down the hall". "I melted right there". "She was beautiful". "And I seemed to be able to see inside of this girl". "She was in all my classes". "In first class, she introduced herself and sat down in the seat right beside me". "It was around the middle of class now". "Our teacher was lecturing us and I wasn't bored beyond reason". "Not listening obviously". "I tapped her gently on the shoulder". "When those eyes looked into mine I just knew". "I love you Angela". They kissed a passionate kiss. Shawn wanted the moment to last forever. Shawn kicked over the hot chocolate. It spilled a chocolaty, steamy river down the greenish grass of the early summer. Then Shawn gently pulled away. "Hey Shawn"? "Yes my love"? "When you said that the day you met me was one of the two best days of your life, what was the second? "Shawn smiled. "Today". "Let's go tell them, Angela"! And with that, they picked up the blanket and the empty thermos. They watched the creamy brown river desolve into the grass and then, hand in hand, walked up to Cory and Topanga's apartment.

There was a knock on the door. Cory flew to answer it. It was Shawn and Angela. "Hey you two come sit at the table"! "Topanga and Rachel are making dinner"! "Ok Core". Replied Shawn. And the couple went to sit at the table. Sitting there were also Jack, Eric, Cory, Amy and Alan, and there were four empty spots: Two of the four were for Shawn and Angela. The other two were for Rachel and Topanga. The box boys had gone home, taking the truck with them. Now there were boxes scattered all around the Matthews home. (Topanga ran around hurriedly between dinner trying to tidy them up) Then dinner was ready. The plates were served out, and dinner was upon the table. There was wine to drink. (However Topanga didn't believe in drinking wine so she had Sparkling Apple Juice) There was fried chicken, buns with butter, rice, frozen vegetables, (well unfrozen now) flavoured mashed potatoes, and a delectable cake for dessert.

They ate, talked, and laughed. Suddenly around the middle of the dinner, Shawn tapped his glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention. "Everyone". "Me and Angela have some news". "We're getting married". Finished Angela "Congratulations"! Said Cory. Everyone clapped and cheered. Topanga clapped. But she simply couldn't cheer. She knew the news that she was pregnant would have to come out sometime. She looked at Cory with her penetrating question look. "Soon". Cory mouthed. Topanga looked down. The longer this went on, the more scared she felt. She just wanted to get it out. Only Rachel and Cory knew. And she felt guilty for not even talking to Angela yet. Or Amy and Alan. Or anyone for that matter. "Jack tapped his glass". "I'd like to make a toast to Shawn and Angela"! "To Shawn and Angela". Everyone repeated taking a swig from their cup. "To us" Said Shawn. Angela smiled. This truly was the best day of her life. "Um, dad"? "I'm sorry to break the moment but." All eyes were on Cory. And Cory couldn't find the words to go on. "I'm pregnant". Finished Topanga. And then all eyes were on her with a completely different look. Especially from the Matthews.
