A/N : Thanks to Death Senshi Sinemegami, thanks for the suggestionü and to Shiyu Inuyasha!ü you're very supportive and don't worry, it's going to come soon Just a few more chapters because this is a long rewind. P.a's still reflecting her days before we go to the actual sacrifice. And if you're interested, I'm working on a Benoit fic which could be out any time soon but it's still a tentative plan. Now here's chapter five. I really think it's a bit short, but i'm sorry, the next chapter should be a bit long again...ü
Still Shawn's POV
We arrived at Eddie's house in a good fifteen minutes. All the lights were on and it was already dark. I checked out my watch, it was already 7 pm, we went down and I had to help P.a down again. I could see the kids already from here, through the shadows on the windows. We went up the porch and Mrs. Rogers went inside and I heard her announce something
"Kids! Nobody, I say nobody will pounce on P.a. okay?"
"AWWW………….."
they chorused in reply. Now they're disappointed
"Why? Mrs. Rogers?"
Charissa said.
"Well, she just came from the hospital and she has to be here, because she's part of the family, and she's a bit weak okay?"
"Okay!"
they chorused again. She let us in and the kids were so quiet as we went in. They all sat on the floor waiting P.a. to come in. I went in after Eddie and stood there to wait for her. She came in last, right after Chris. Little Charissa went near her and said
"Are you okay P.a.?"
and gazed at P.a. who was towering over her. P.a. just smiled and said
"Yeah, I'm okay I'm just tired"
"Do you still get to come here tomorrow morning so we could shop?"
"Yeah, I can, I maybe strong enough tomorrow"
"I really want you to come P.a. you're not here all the time"
"Okay, I will, don't you worry"
"You get to dance tomorrow too?"
"Yeah, I will, and we'll dance"
"Okay"
then little Charissa was walking away and P.a. suddenly said
"Come on here"
P.a. knelt down and opened her arms little Charissa ran to her and hugged her. I couldn't help but nudge Chavo who was standing beside me. He smiled and whispered
"They have a special bond you know"
Then P.a. carried her in her arms
"What do ya say we eat now?"
and they went to the dining room where Hector was clinking his glass again. I sat beside P.a. and she was talking to little Charissa. We pray and we start eating, there was so much talk and laughter in the air. We were eating dessert and Hector was clinking his glass, there's an announcement.
"Okay, tomorrow's the big day!"
Everybody claps and he continues
"Girls will be here to do their shopping for the ingredients and clothes and that's at 5 am, Men, we will be here at 6 am to do the rides and haul up the stuff. Is that clear?"
We cheer again and we stood up to talk anywhere we wanted to. I wanted to talk to P.a. but she was busy with the kids who were already in the living room. She's a really good caretaker for kids, she looks so comfortable with them. They went up the stairs, and I asked Chavo
"Where are they going?"
"They're going to the library, it's story time before they go to bed"
he replied and he led me outside where the others were playing pool and drinking beer.
Pa.'s POV
They were huddled together ready to listen to what I was going to read today. I looked at little Charissa who was right in front of me ready to listen. I pulled out a book and started to read to them. It was Millie's first dance, and that was their favorite stories, they were already asleep when I was half way through the book. But little Charissa was still wide awake and told me
"Can you tuck me in tonight?"
I nodded and said
"Well, I'll have to call all the mommies so that they can tuck in the others okay? You want to help me?"
she nodded and we made our way downstairs and saw them watching a soap opera.
"They're asleep now"
I told them
"Finally!"
Maria said as she went up the stairs to the library. The others followed and me and Charissa went to her room. I waited for her to finish taking a bath and helped her put on her pajamas. She scurried to bed and said
"Does Shawn like you?"
I sat down beside her and gave her teddy bear. I smiled and said
"I do like Shawn, but I don't know if he will like me back, and why did you ask that?"
I said and chuckled a bit.
"Well, he always looks at you and smiles at you all the time"
"Well, I really don't know, well char, I loved him all my life, ever since I met him, but your Uncle Eddie came into the picture"
"Well, you and Unca Eddie looked cute together,"
"Char, when you grow up, things change"
"But I want you and Shawn to love each other"
"I don't know Char, if he does love me and you should be asleep right now okay?"
"Okay, good night P.a."
"good night char, sleep tight"
I think she fell asleep instantly as I closed the door. I turned and saw him gazing at me and smiling. I guess he must have heard it, oh no. No… No that can't happen, please. I just ran down stairs and went straight to the passenger's seat.
"Woah, in a rush esse?"
Eddie said as he started up the car. I heard the door open, I guess it was Shawn. I looked at the rearview mirror and could see him looking at me. I avoided his gaze and looked at my hands and to my left hand. I looked at my fourth finger, right now, I just wish that the ring would still be there, but I'm done with Taker. I'm having the time of my life here, hello?
The rest of the ride was silent, we arrived and I just ran from the car to the safety of my room. I went directly to the shower and didn't mind if the water was too cold or hot. I'm just glad Shawn, ain't in front of me right now. I could feel the water rush down my body and dried myself up and went directly to my closet. I got my Spongebob shorts that Rey gave me and a plain white shirt which says, this is not a message. I dressed up hurriedly, grabbed a jacket and went out my window and went up the ladder to the roof. I could feel the wind brush to my face and sat down near the gutter and looked at the sky. It was a cloudless night and saw the moon, it was a bit orangey tonight. I heard the rustle of leaves on the trees and made me a bit relaxed. Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see who it was.
"Are you alright esse? You just ran as if there's a fire going on"
Eddie said as he plopped down beside me.
"I'm just a bit down"
"Why? You just tucked in Char, I thought that would make you feel a bit better?"
"Eddie, it's just that"
"What?"
"I think he heard me"
"Heard you? What did you say?"
"Well, I was talking to Char in her bedroom"
"And?"
"She asked me, if Shawn likes me and"
"And?"
"I told her, I don't know, and I admitted to her I love him"
"Then, what happened?"
"Well, I went out the door and saw him smiling and looking at me, and I just ran"
"Well, maybe.."
"no Eddie, I'm sure he heard me that's why I didn't talk along the way you know"
"I see…"
"I am just dang darn fucking nervous"
"Why should you be?"
"Well, he shouldn't have heard it, I can't love him you know"
"why can't you?"
"I just can't okay?"
"Well, that can't be, you loved me didn't you, and uh… Taker"
"Yeah, and I will always love you, you know that"
"Fine, but you'd better go to sleep, you know, little Char is expecting you., you know"
"Haha. Thanks Eddie, I'd better sleep now"
I went down the ladder and plopped on my bed and Eddie followed. He sat on my bed and said
"Well, it's my turn to tuck you in"
I laughed a bit and said
"Okay, you can tuck me in"
He went and knelt beside my bed and said
"Well, this is good night homes"
He grinned at me and leaned over to kiss. I never expected it to be on my lips, but what the hey, I ain't taken yet. We broke off the kiss and I said
"You, never ran out of tricks? Do you homes?"
Before he closed the door he said
"I never will you know"
and he closed the door. He never, loses tricks out of his sleeve, doi. I get my HBK teddy bear that Shawn gave me and slept.
