It is the day of the class reunion, and I was lucky to get some time from work for this. Of course, I am going to have to work double shifts to make up for this time away from work. I am certainly up early today in my hotel room and very anxious about tonight. I just wish that my parents were here to see what I have accomplished so far. Ring, ring, I answer my cellphone after being in my thoughts. “Hey Sandy?” My goodness, Maddison, you were supposed to call me once you reached your hotel room. Oh, I am so sorry, I completely forgot. Once I got off the airplane and took an Uber to the hotel and checked into my room. I laid on the bed, before I knew it, morning came. Plus, I was just thinking about my parents and how I wished that they were here. Oh honey, I am so sorry I completely forgot about that. Don’t worry, it is fine, besides I know they are watching over me and are proud of me. Yes, they are sweetheart and you just remember that. Do you think that you’re going to run into Ga

As I am still talking to the former cheerleaders. I still get the feeling that if I am being stared at by someone. However, when I turn around, I don’t see that person looking at me. Whoever, that person was, is gone now. Hopefully, whoever it was, I doubt that I see them again. Ok, just standing there talking to some of the people I knew in high school. I am just talking and having a good time, until I feel someone tap my shoulder. That is when I turn around and there he was, Mr. Shane Evans. He is looking more fine than before, tall, tan and beautiful green eyes. If you have a moment, he says, but aren’t you Maddison Wong, he asks me. Yes, I am, I replied. Didn’t you use to be a nerd? Yes, I did keep my head in the books, so I could get into a good college. Well, look at you, the years have been good to you. You look great, all I could do was say thank you while blushing. You have come a long way from the nerdy, pretty girl I have seen around campus ten years ago. Wow, when I thi
After we are done eating, Shane takes me to his room. We walk in and there is a king-size bed with a canopy in the middle of the room. On the right side of the room, I see a door which I assume leads to the bathroom. Will you excuse me for a minute, I say to Shane, I need to freshen up. Sure go ahead, the bathroom is right through that door. I open the door to the bathroom and what I see is beyond my imagination. This bathroom is not a regular bathroom, it is more of an ensuite and has a huge Jacuzzi tub. Now that is something I can relax in and do other things in. Are you alright in there I hear Shane through the door. I’m fine just admiring your bathroom. Oh, okay, thought you fell in for a minute. No, I wouldn’t be right out in a few minutes. Why am I so nervous being with this man? I have been dreaming of this since before I married Gabriel. Now, Maddison, you can do this he finally sees your worth, I tell myself. You didn’t even see a ring on his finger, either. Make sure thoug
Monday came and Shane had driven me to the small Springfield airport. He could only leave me at security since he wasn’t allowed past them because of COVID. He kisses me goodbye before I am called. The TSA agent says next then I go through security seeing Shane wave goodbye. I wave back blowing a kiss at him and he catches it putting it right on his heart. While waiting to be called to the plane, the flight attendant said it would be about thirty minutes since the pilot hadn’t shown up yet. So, I just take a seat in one of the nice comfy chairs to wait. As I am sitting here looking through my phone I see a text from Shane. “Maddison, I would like to thank you for a wonderful time after the reunion. It was great seeing you after all this time. I would like to see you again. Hope to hear from you soon. Shane My word I can not believe that he wants to see me again. I’m just staring at my phone looking at the text I just received. Last call for flight 469 to Dayton, Ohio. Oh my goodne
After feeling a tap on my shoulders I turn around and see that my boss Chief Administrator Lee Jones or Lee as he wants me to call him standing there looking at everyone. Suddenly, the nurses scatter, about to continue their shifts. Hello Maddison, I take it that you had a nice time at your high school reunion, he states. Why, yes, I did, as I replied to him. That is good to hear, however, you can chit-chat about it on your break or during lunch. Now there is a patient in room 215 who needs to be tended to. Yes, Mr. Jones, I will get right to that now. As I am heading towards the patient's room. Mr. Jones calls me, and says to me, remember to call me Lee. Oh, another thing, I want to see you in my office during your thirty-minute break. Sir, my break is only fifteen minutes, I respond to him. Well, I am making an exception, and we’re going to need the whole thirty minutes. Okay, I will see you in a few hours, Lee for my break. Good, that gives us some time to chat about your reunion
When my shift is over, and I clock out, I grab the roses and then head to my car in the parking lot. The roses smelled so good too. I can’t believe that he would send me roses after our rendezvous during the class reunion. I wonder if anyone noticed that the popular jock and the pretty nerdy girl were missing. No, I highly doubt that, but I will read about how it went on our school website soon.Driving home I just couldn’t believe that Shane would send me flowers, and they are my favorite too. It was so thoughtful of him to do that. I guess he just wanted to show that he respects me. I guess they mean it when they say some people have changed since high school, they weren’t lying. Furthermore, I put the flowers in the passenger sand and then buckled them up. “Yes, people I buckled my flowers because they are beautiful, and didn’t want them to fall out of the seat.”“I know that it is crazy, but they are gorgeous, so I am not taking any chances.” "If you all don’t like it, will tough n
Who can be at the door this time of night? I asked myself. The doorbell just keeps ringing and ringing. My goodness, I am coming I say to the person on the other side of the door. I get to the door to open it. I swear Gabriel if this is you I already told you that we were through and I am not taking you back. To my surprise when I finally swung the door open it was not my ex-husband Gabriel, it was Emily his former secretary. What the h e double hockey sticks are you doing here? I know that I am the last person that you want to see. You got that right as I’m about to close the door. She puts her hand on the door, please could you let me in? I must speak to you to clear the air. You do know it is very late and now is not a good time for you to be here. I’m so sorry Maddison, but this is the only time I could get away from Gabriel so I could talk to you. He is hovering over me all the time. I just could not stand it anymore so I had to escape once he fell asleep. Okay, then come in I
Gabriel Oh, Mr. Shane Evans, you will not be able to find anything. By the time you do find it I will be long gone, with Maddison finally having forgiven me for my sinful deed. I will make sure that I will show up at every place possible until she has had enough, and I am satisfied with the sincerity of her forgiveness towards me. I wonder how long it will take them to figure out that there is a hidden camera in her house. That is how I knew about the engagement party. Maddison had no idea that I planted a hidden device in one of her plants. She could never keep up with taking care of any plant anyway. Seeing that she had fake ones was icing on the cake to go with my plan. So they’re going to search for a place to live, huh? I wonder if I can get my Real Estate License. It should seem easy enough, right? I begin looking on my phone for courses in Real Estate since I have some time. It will be awhile before they find something that Maddison will love. I know Maddison she is ver
I can’t believe you kept that secret from me this whole time while speaking to my mother. You mean to tell me all the talk about waiting until you get married was a lie? I’m sorry, honey, we thought it was best to keep it to ourselves. Well, good job, not only did you lie, you and Dad are both hypocrites. Don’t you dare say that about your father. He did the best he could to provide for us. If he were here, he would tell you the same thing. Anyway, I am going to lay down. Suddenly, it is a bit too stuffy in here. Hello, anyone, I am still here. Gabriel, what are you still doing here? I thought I told you to leave. Yes, you did tell me that. Then why haven’t you left? Well, you said that I can stay until morning, then leave after your mom made something to eat for me. I look at Shane, asking him, did I say that? Yes, you did, babe responding back. I am beginning to think that I have a pregnancy brain from what I read in what to expect when expecting. You know what, maybe I nee
Maddison, what is Gabriel talking about? What is this unspoken secret between the two you? Go on Maddison, I am surprised you didn’t tell your mom or Shane. Well, I know why you didn’t tell her. As far as your husband here you did not bother to say anything to him before you two got hitched. Gabriel, you are walking on thin ice. Huh, I am already there Maddison don’t you see the invisible thread that I am hanging by. I’ve lost everything that I have ever loved. You mean to tell that you actually loved Emily. No, of course not, I wasn’t talking about her. Then who were you talking about? I was talking about you and my two dead sons. Wait, Shane says looking shocked you have two sons who are deceased and will not get to see grow up. Yep, I sure as hell do. Alright, this ends right now. Maddison I am your husband now. I believe I am entitled to know about what happened between the two of you before you both married each other. Your right you do have the right to know because we sho
“You don’t get to say those words after what you have done to her.” “I know what I did, and I have apologized several times to her, but she won’t accept it.” And coming to our engagement party unannounced did not help anything in your forgiveness from her. How did you even find out about the party anyway? It was a private affair and invitations only. Oh, I have my ways, he says with a smirk on his face. You dodged a bullet with me because I would have kicked your ass if the police hadn’t shown up. You know Shane, I was going to convince her to come back to me, then you pressed charges. I was in jail for a good week before she came to see me. That is because I did not want Maddison to see you. We had got into a big argument about it, but she insisted. I even had forbidden her to see you. That was the wrong move or should I say wrong choice of words. Let me guess Maddison went crazy when you forbid her from doing something. Yes, she did, I told him. Yep, that is Maddison for yo
Shane’s POV When my mother-in-law said that I went ahead and put the dishes in the sink. Of course, I had a feeling of what I knew was coming. After sitting down at the dining table. Phong starts talking to me, I just want you to know that I don’t blame you for the way you reacted to the news of Madison’s pregnancy. However, you could have done it differently. I know I have apologized to her profusely. That is good to know because I would rather not see my baby upset. She has been through too much already, and the way you behaved was not the kind of man I want for my daughter. Furthermore, I had told Maddison to tell you she was pregnant before the wedding happened. Wait, you knew about the pregnancy and didn’t tell me. It wasn’t my place to tell you Shane. That was for Maddison to do. I know my daughter can be stubborn, but she is a good woman. I know she is Phong, that is how come I love her she is smart, beautiful, and funny. She could have had a chance with me when we were
Shane, I think that we need to make an emergency landing, I don’t feel so well. At that moment, I start feeling pain in my stomach and double over because it hurts. He informs the pilot to make an emergency stop. He hails a cab to take us to the nearest hospital. In the hospital room, the doctor is doing some tests because there was a little bleeding. Are the babies okay I ask the doctor? We will let you know as soon as we run a few more tests, Mrs. Evans. Doctor, please do what you can to help my wife. Money is of no expense to us. I will inform you two of the results as soon as they come back from the lab. I want to do an ultrasound as well to make sure everything is going smoothly. The doctor comes back with the ultrasound machine, he puts the warm jelly on my stomach. Let’s take a look here and see what the problem is. He loves the wand around, oh I see that you are expecting quadruplets. Yes, we are, and we were flying in from our honeymoon when I felt the pain. Luckily for y
Shane’s POV My brother Desmond was right I was being an asshole all because Maddison had waited until our honeymoon to tell me I will be a father. I couldn’t believe what a jerk I had been, and she wanted to make it special for me to receive the news. Now I need to stop by the flower shop to get her favorite flowers, apologize and tell her what a jerk I was. Ryan took me to the nearest flower shop. You got it sir. We found the flower shop a couple of blocks down from the hotel. I go inside looking for roses since that is her favorite flower. The florist comes up to me, asks me how she can help me? I tell her that I am looking for roses for my wife. Ah, I see, mind if I ask what happened? It is unclear to me why, but I ended up telling her the story of how she shared with me that she was pregnant. The florist says to me, you’re a moron, and she needs more than roses for her to accept your apology. She looks around the shop for the flowers and something else. Ahhh, yes, here w
The reception was spectacular, numerous people eating and dancing the night away. Before we knew it, it was time for me to toss the bouquet and for Shane to do the garter toss. I have to say that there had been a good amount of single men and single women here. Of course, the majority were nurses I worked with. Shane has his coworkers and a few of his employees on the floor as well. I tossed my bouquet first and one of the nurses caught it. Then, as usual as tradition would have it, Shane for the garter off my leg. Then tossed it, one of his employees caught it. It was time for us to change to go to our destination honeymoon. Everyone waved goodbye as we left. Not before my mother-in-law whispered in my ear, please be careful as to how you tell him. I nod my head smiling, waving again, heading towards the waiting limo. How do you feel now about being married to the most eligible bachelor? It feels absolutely astonishing I responded. Where are we going for our honeymoon, I asked hi
A month and a half later we are in the venue getting ready to stand before the family and friends. However, I feel that something is off. I ask Sandy if Shane has shown up yet for our wedding. No, he has not shown up yet. Can you please go see what is taking so long? I am ready to get married. You don’t to think he is getting cold feet, do you? Of course not as she tries to ease my mind. Did Shane tell you that he had something to do last minute? No, he did not tell me anything. All he said I have something to do, and I will be there in time for our wedding and that was yesterday. Hmm, I wonder what could be so important that he can’t make it on time to his wedding. I don’t know, but once he does get here he better have a good excuse for keeping me waiting or else I will pulverize him. Now Maddison don’t do anything harsh you know getting upset is not good for you and the baby. You mean babies, I mention to her. Sandy turns me around looks at me shockingly, then asks me what you
