5 years Later

Liz is standing on the porch, watching the now 5 yr old Grace and 3 yr old Randall play out in the sandbox. She hears the door open and she looks over her shoulder to see Shane.

"Hey sweetie," Liz says as he walks up behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Hi baby," Shane replies, kissing her and then resting his head on her shoulder.

"Hard day at work?"

"The worst, but I'm glad to be home."

Liz smiles, looking at their children, then turning to look at Shane.

"Do you remember Prom?"

"'Remember when I was young and so were you

and time stood still and love was all we knew

You were the first, so was I. We made love then you cried

Remember When."'

Prom Shane notices Liz sitting over at one of the tables, all alone. He excuses himself and makes his way through the crowd, arriving at her. She looks like she's about to cry so he sits down next to her causing her to look up.

"Shane… Hi," she says, quickly brushing away the tears.

"What's wrong Lizzie?"

"Rodney left me," Liz admits, looking down.

"Well Mar left me too," Shane replies, "wanna go back to my place and hang out?"

Liz nods and they get up and leave.

Shane hands Liz another drink and sits next to her. She takes a long drink before looking at him.

"What? Do I have something on my face?"

She reaches up to wipe at her face, but he catches her hand, kissing her softly.

Liz sobs quietly causing Shane to stir. He glances up and concern floods his face.

"Liz, what's wrong?"

"I was a virgin Shane," she sobs, wrapping her arms around herself.

"Hey, it's ok. I was a virgin too."

Shane pulls her sobbing body into his and soon they both fall asleep.

"'Remember when we vowed the vows and walked the walk

Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard

We lived and learned, life threw curves

There was joy, there was hurt, remember when.'"

"'Remember when old ones died and new were born

and life was changing, disassembled, rearranged

We came together, fell apart and broke each others hearts

Remember When'"

Shane smiles down at his brand new daughter, kissing her forehead softly.

"I'll protect you," he says softly, looking at Liz, "both of you."

She smiles and he leans down to kiss her.

"' Remember When the sound of little feet was the music

We danced to week to week

Brought back the love, we found trust

Vowed we'd never give it up

Remember when'"

Shane and Liz are sitting on the floor, facing each other. Liz is holding Randall up, urging him to walk to his father. Finally, he takes a step forward and Liz slowly lets go, allowing Randall to walk towards Shane.

"Come on buddy, just a little further," Shane says, reaching for him, who slowly makes it over to him.

Shane cradles Randall in his arms, kissing his cheek, and looking up at Liz, who has tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Our kids are growing up."

"' Remember When 30 seemed so old

Now looking back, it's just a stepping stone

To where we are, where we've been

Said we'd do it all again, Remember when"

"' Remember when, we said when we turned gray

When the children grow up and move away

We won't be sad, we'll be glad

For all the life we've had and we'll remember When.'"

Shane kisses Liz's cheek softly, watching the kids run towards the patio.

"I remember," he says softly, "we'll make many new memories too; just have some faith in me."
