"Do I ever regret giving it all up for Shane?" Joplin asked. Her eyes glancing at the menu. "I don't regret it. I wonder but I don't regret it, ya know. I would never regret my babies." Joplin told her.

Amy looked over at the woman across the table. " Do you regret Shane?" Amy asked, as Trish suddenly found her nails interesting. Joplin looked over at the girls.

" If you girls are trying to hint around bout Shane's lil mistress I already know. And no I don't regret Shane." Joplin told her.

Trish looked up surprised, " How do you know?" she asked. Joplin looked over at her friend.

"Honey I haven't had sex in 5 months, Shane was always horny. He calls out her name in his sleep. He smells of her when he comes home." Joplin told the girls playing with her straw.

Amy looked over at her friend, " Jo? Have you ever considered taking the kids and leaving Shane." Amy asked receiving a kick in the shins from Trish.

"Trish, it's ok. I've thought about it more than once, but I couldn't do that to the kids. I don't want them to even once think that Shane doesn't love them or it's their fault. Besides for some strange reason I still love him. I love him with all my heart." Jo told them.

*Back at the house*

Jeff looked around making sure all the kids were in there rooms, taking a swig from his beer. " Shane can I ask you something?" Jeff asked watching one of his best friends.

"Sure Jeff anything after last night." Shane told him taking a swig of his own beer.

Jeff looked down at the carpet, " What going on between you and Jo she seems kind of distant.

Shane took another swig of his beer, " Jo knows about Teagan." Shane told them, his head hung . Matt reached over and slapped his best friend in the back of the head.

"You're a fucking idiot, Shane," Matt told him, " You have 4 kids , a women that gave up everything for you."

Shane looked over at Matt. "You think that I don't know that. Hell, I love Jo with all my heart. She's perfect. I don't know what I'd do without her. " Shane told them.

"Then why the hell are you with Teagan." Shannon asked finally getting into the conversation. Shane sighed downing the rest of his beer.

"Who Teagan?" a little voice asked from the hall. Shane stood up and walked over towards the hall leading to the bedrooms.

"Hey Trent, What's going on?" Shane asked pulling the boy into the living room.

"Where Momma?" the little boy asked climbing up onto Jeff's lap

"Mommy's having breakfast with Aunt Amy and Aunt Trish, what's wrong?" Shane asked the little boy was listening to the music on the stereo.

" Brayden's crying," the little boy told Shane, trying to keep beat watching Jeff's fingers.

"Shit, I forgot about the baby!" Shane said taking off down the hall

Jeff smiled watching the little boy listening to the music. "Trent do you know who this is???" Jeff asked the little boy point towards the stereo.

The little boy smiled, " Vana!!" he said sure of himself. Jeff laughed, he was his mothers son.

"That's right Trent Nirvana" Jeff said singing along with the lyrics.

Shane came back about 5 minutes later setting the baby in the playpen with some toys. The next 20 minutes went by with small talk waiting for the girls to get back.

*20 minutes later*

Joplin pulled her Celica into the makeshift parking lot in front of the house. "20 dollars says they all have a beer in front of them," she bet them as she stepped out of the car, holding the seat forward for Trish.

"We'd lose," Amy said jokingly, she didn't really care if matt had a beer with his friends during the day as long as he didn't get drunk.

Trish giggled as the girls made their way into the house.

"Were Home, " Jo called heading into the living room. The boys smiled as their respective girls came and sat next to each other. All except Jo who walked around the room collecting the empty beer bottles, before returning with fresh drinks. Setting the tray of waters and colas on the table, "I'm going to go check on the boys," Jo told them walking out of the room. Dropping a kiss on Shane's forehead before leaving Shane sighed reaching towards the table getting a bottle of water. Amy clutched Matt's watching Shane and Jo's interaction.

" Shane I think were going to head home I'm really tried, " Amy told Shane, standing up with Matt. They went around the room saying goodbye to their friends, and giving hugs and kisses to all the kids. Jeff took that as his queue to leave.

"Shane I think were going head home to," Jeff said pulling Trish off the couch with him. He leaned down and hugged Trent before. Saying his goodbyes, leaving with Shannon.

-Hour Later-

*the Imagi-Nation*

( In this story Jeff has extended the property so he still has the original Imagi-Nation, but about 250 ft away Trish got to build her family house where her and Jeff live. The Imagi-Nation is now Jeff's play house/ the guest house)

" Jeff what's the story behind Jo and Shane?" Trish asked as she cuddled up to her fiancée on the couch. Jeff looked over at Trish Having forgotten she only knew the past 3 years.

***New York City***

( and the guys are all on a break and decided to go up to NY and have some fun)

Matt started laughing, as Shane got "Stuck" in the hotel's Revolving door after a night out at the bar. They all laughed watched as Shane tried to push the door in the opposite direction. Al the sudden the door started moving freaking the hell out of Shane. Shane stepped out as the door opened on his side, watching as 4 girls piled into the lobby. Shane had a stupid drunken smile plastered on his face. One of the girls approached him. Jeff had to laugh as Shane drug his eyes up and down the girl. She was about 5'10" slim, long dark hair in pigtails, big Blue eyes, set of full lips, small tits, A Marilyn Manson tank on, short pleated skirt with black fishnet stockings, Knee high lace up platform boots. She walked up to Shane, giving him a kiss, hands on each side of his face. Watching as Shane got into the kiss, his hands finding there way to her hips. All of the sudden she pulled away. With a sly grin she reached down pulling a sharpie out of the side of her boot. Taking Shane's hand she wrote : Room 206- Joplin, Tomorrow 10:30 hotel resturant. And with that she walked away heading towards the elevator. When she reached the Elevator, she turned around, blowing Shane a kiss before stepping into the elevator.

The next day her and Shane met, having a great time, found out she was from Rockingham NC about an hour away from Cameron. She was 17 when they met. She had been in NY giving a concert. Shane took her to Senior prom. She was getting ready to release her first album, when she was 19 until Shane knocked her up. She walked away from her recording contract, moved in with Shane, became everything Shane wanted, took care of him and the house, the months went by and Shane didn't propose, no one said anything, figuring he was waiting til the twins were born. Then on July 27th 2000, Matthew Shannon Helms and Evan Jeffery Helms were born. Jo stayed home and took care of them, still waiting for a Ring. Then bout 3 months later Shane Got Jo preggers again, everybody was for sure that Shane would Marry her now, but it didn't come, but on may 17th 2001, Trent Cobain Helms arrived 3 months early, they almost lost him, acaring the hell out of Shane causing him to rethink life. Shane proposed and year later 3 days before the actuall wedding Shane backed out. And for some reason She stayed with him. That when shit started to stir up.***

Jeff held Trish as she looked up at him, her eyes focused on his lips taking in every word of his story.

***Shane Meet Teagan, when Jo was 7 months pregnant with bBreydan, and once Breydan Michel Helms was born, was when shane started looking at Teagan as more than a friend, and you know the rest***

Jeff told her as a small tear ran down her cheek. Jeff wiped her tear away with his thumbs. He leaned down capturing her mouth with his.
