Three Years Later
"Hello?" Shane walked into his large house and called out, his voice echoing throughout the home. He had literally just gotten off of a plane coming back from South America and the first thing he did was rush home.
"Hello?" He called out again. He pulled his Range Rover right up next to his wife's Mercedes so he knew she had to be here. He set his luggage down near the staircase and just as he was about to head upstairs, he heard a splash come from the backyard. He ran over to the door leading to the backyard and stood looking out of its window. Of course. The pool. Should have known., he thought to himself. After staring for a minute or two, he finally opened the door and walked out on the cobblestone ground. He smiled largely realizing he had walked out unnoticed.
"You guys miss me?" He said in an attempt to announce his presence.
"Daddy!" Shane bent down and opened up his arms allowing his son to run into his arms. He held on to the little boy and picked him up. He had really missed him. Once he was done showering his son with affection, he turned his attention to the woman sitting on the nearby poolside outdoor lounge chairs.
"And you," Shane quickly made his way to the lounge chair and, in one swift move, managed to take a seat and scoop her up, placing her on his lap. He wasted no time and started placing kisses everywhere from her head to her neck.
"Shane," She protested attempting to push him away. "I know you've been away but maybe not in front of S.J.?"
Shane (reluctantly) stopped and looked up at her. "I missed you, Mitchie."
Three years ago, he would have never imagined his life would have ended up like this. He would have guessed he'd be still running his old record label, married to Ashley, his ex-wife, trying to convince her to start a family. Instead, he was living his dream of being a recording artist as well as running his record label, which was now partnered with a more mainstream label, he was married to a woman he was unconditionally in love with and had the most amazing son a guy could ever ask for.
"So, were you and S.J. about to go for a swim?" He asked noticing they were both in their swimwear. Mitchie nodded, as did little S.J..
"Well how about I go get my swim shorts on and we can all go for a dip? It'll be a family swim." He announced proudly.
Yeah. He had definitely missed family life.
After their, 'family swim', Shane, Mitchie and S.J. (short for Shane Jr.), all went out for dinner. They had went to Shane's favorite restaurant and celebrated his being home. Afterwards, they returned and put a tuckered out S.J. to bed. Once he was asleep, Shane and Mitchie relaxed on the couch, cuddled in each other's arms watching movies on Netflix.
"I missed doing this so much." Mitchie commented resting her head on his chest.
He brought his fingers up to play with her, now blonde hair (she always changed it when he would go away). "I missed it too, hun."
"Can you believe this our life?" She sat up to face him. "A couple years ago, the only way we could be together is if we were in a hotel room. And now look at us. Married with a kid."
"We don't have to sneak around anymore." Shane reminded her proudly before leaning over and placing a kiss on her lips.
It was true. It was crazy to think how far they had come.
Just as they had started to deepen their kiss, they heard S.J.'s cry come from the baby monitor sitting on the coffee table in front of them. They broke apart and smiled at each other.
"Since I've been gone, I'll go check on S.J.. When I get back, we should go to bed so I can show you what I missed doing so much. " Shane said with a wink.
Mitchie nodded and followed him upstairs. They went their separate ways, Shane going into the nursery, Mitchie going into their bedroom.
Thinking back on it, her life truly had been full of surprises. Three years ago, she never pictured she would mess around with a married man, let alone fall in love with him. But she did and contrary to how she thought it would end, it actually turned out greatly for her. Shane ended up getting a divorce, ending his marriage to his (now ex) wife Ashley. They two of them dated for about a year before he popped the question. They got married in a beautiful private little ceremony and shortly after, she found out she was pregnant. It scared her a bit, having a baby with Shane, whose career was taking off more and more every day, but again, everything ended up working out perfectly. S.J. was the perfect little toddler. He was just like Shane in every way, looks and personality. Shane would always find a way to spend time with him, too. He never let his career come between him and his family duties.
Mitchie had always thought about Ashley, though. She wondered how her life was going. She wondered if she had ruined it for her or something. Back at one of Shane's shows about three months ago, the couple actually ended up running into her…and her fiancée. Apparently, her life ended up working out just as Shane and Mitchie's did. It was a relief to both of them since they always had that fear that they had caused Ashley's life to take a turn for the worst.
"Okay, I'm back." Shane entered their bedroom, taking Mitchie out of her thoughts. The excited look he wore on his face faded quickly. "Why are you still dressed? Didn't you get what I was alluding to downstairs?"
"Stop being a smartass or the only thing you'll be doing tonight is sleeping." She said knowing he was being sarcastic with his last comment. He smiled and shrugged making his way to the bed, lying down next to her.
It might have sounded weird to some but Shane was glad he had decided to cheat on his (ex)wife all those years ago. If he hadn't, he wasn't sure he would be living the life he was right now, the life he loved so much.
He sure was thankful for his affair with Mitchie.
The End.
Yay! And we're done! ...Maybe. I might possibly come up with some sort of sequel. Would anyone maybe read just like a cute little story about their family life or something? Let me know if you would! We'll see what happens. Until then, though, thanks to everyone who read this and reviewed it and favored it and alerted it and everything! Haha.
Thanks for reading!
