Disclaimer: Dont own anything but my words and ideas.
A/N: I'm soooooooo sorry! I've been so busy! But last night I went to this awesome masquerade ball, and I had a swim meet yesterday, and the night before we had a team dinner, and Wednesday a team dinner, and last weekend i spent something like 38 hours with my best friend and the night before we had a swim team party, and the weekend before that I was out all weekend, and the weekend before was my birthday weekend so i was busy haha. Anyway... here we go! (I'm a little rusty...)
Mitchie ran after Shane, grabbing at his arm.
"Shane, please! Please, Shane, don't do this! I love you!" she sad falling to the ground in tears, clinging to his wrist.
"HA! You love me? Really? Because last time I checked, when you love someone you don't fuck around with their brother!" Shane said obviously hurt, tears being choked back.
"Shane, you don't understand! Please just let me explain!" Mitchie pleaded.
"You have 2 minutes." Shane said stiffly. "But not here. Come on..."
Shane brought Mitchie to his cabin and they sat down to hear Mitchie's plea.
"Okay, what?" Shane said with some tension.
"Listen Shane, remember that night when I was devastated after what happened with you and Danielle?" Mitchie asked.
Shane nodded. "Yeah, what about it?"
"I was so hurt and in such terrible shape, I just wanted to do something so crazy, so not me, to make me forget... and when Nate showed up on the peer, he was stumbling drunk.." Mitchie began. "He moved in on me, and I don't think he realized it was me and not Caitlin.. and by the time he did, it was too late anyway.."
"What are you saying Mitchie?" Shane pressed.
"I just wanted to be held, felt loved. It was the only way I knew how to feel what you made me feel. But it didn't work anyway. It gave me a false sense of love, and I've regretted it everyday since." Mitchie's tears welled up again.
"I believe you." Shane confessed. "But Mitchie, why would you demean yourself like that? And why with Nate? To hurt me?"
"This might sound dumb but... I think it's just because he was there. And he was the closest I could get to you, without being you... I also think I wanted you to feel the hurt I felt about you and Danielle," she confessed.
"Listen Mitch... I understand, and I was dumb with that Danielle shit. But you have to promise me you will never do something so dumb again. I love you too much to have all this heartache. I really really love you. And I don't want to have to be without you, but how can I trust you?" Shane asked.
"How can I trust you, Shane? Danielle wasn't even JUST a one time thing. But I've learned to move on, and if you really love me it won't happen again. And I really love you, so I'd never do this again either.." Mitchie fumed a little, angry that he could call this such a big deal when he had done the same with Danielle.
"One more chance?" Shane offered.
"One more." Mitchie agreed. "I love you, Shane" She whispered into his ear hugging him.
He embarrassed her as well. "I love you too, Mitch... so much." He assured putting his hands on both her cheeks and gave her a kiss on her forehead. "I'll book a paternity test for tomorrow. I hope to God it's mine." He breathed into her hair, hugging her again.
"I do too." Mitchie cried.
"Mitchie, shhh, I'm here for you. Everything will be alright okay? I won't leave you." Shane stroked her hair feeling a paing of guilt for Danielle, and also a rage for Nate. But no matter what happened, they were even now and still so in love, and he wouldn't let that slip away so he held her tighter to him.
"Ouch." Mitchie laughed as Shane tightened his grip around her. "What's that for?" She laughed though her tears.
"I'm holding you tight so you'll never get away from me." Shane cooed into her hair, allowing his tears to finally let go, as two drops fell.
"I never want to get away from you." She choked pulling him in as well.

"We have an appointment for 2 o'clock" Shane announced to the front desk after they had arrived for their paternity test.
"Have a seat and fill out this paper work. When you're done return it to me and wait to have your name called." The grumpy old lady at the receptionist desk replied handing a clipboard piled with forms to Shane and then typing something into the computer.
Shane's eyes widened at all the paperwork. "This is going to take forever! No way will we make it back in time for pajama jam tonight!" Shane groaned.
Mitchie laughed at Shane's widened eyes and open mouth. She whacked him and took the clipboard. "Give me that!" She giggled.
But right then the lightened mood was broken as Nate walked in.
Shane stood up... Mitchie pulled him back down into his chair.
"Shane. Chill. I'll handle this.." Mitchie said sternly to him, getting to her feet. Man her back ached already!
Mitchie approached Nate and grabbed him by the arm roughly. "Nate, what the hell are you doing here?" Mitchie spat.
Nate looked hurt. "Hey, this could be my baby, shouldn't I be here? I have the right to know..." Nate said back.
"Don't you think it's best you just let this whole thing cool off for a while? Listen, I'll find you when the results are in..."
"Mitchie. I'm staying." Nate said leaving no room for debate. He walked over to the waiting area and took a seat leaving Mitchie standing and shocked at his forcefulness.
Mitchie sat back by Shane and deliberately grabbed his hand to hold, making sure it was in clear view for Nate to see. Mitchie's eyes caught Nate's once. She could tell he wasn't happy.
After turning in the forms it took ten minutes to be called. Shane and Mitchie walked in hand in hand, Nate following.
The appointment took about 15 minutes for the blood to be drawn. The doctor said that was all, and the results would arrive in two to three days.
But money can always get things down to next day delivery...
Sorry, I know it sucks, but I hope this satisfies you for now! I need LOTS of reviews to write the next chapter! :)
