Love's Got a Hold of My Heart

SHANE

I came from my duty in the hospital; I was the one who arrived last in our house. My mother is the one to pick up Shaunice if I am not on duty to her school. They go home together with my father. I love my parents they always have the same working schedule always together.

I saw my father and daughter in the living room teaching my daughter her homework. "Hello everyone." I greeted them as soon as I opened the door. I was in the good mood because of yesterday talked with Macy.

"D-daddddy..." she said running towards me.

I lifted her up in my arms. "Hello little princess." I kissed her cheek and put her down. She went back to her homework. "Dad, where's mom?" I asked him.

"She is still in the kitchen cooking for our dinner. Why? What's the matter?" he asked me raising his one brow.

"Ah okay, I have something to tell all of you after dinner. I will take my shower first." I answered, my dad nodded. I climbed up the stairs towards my room for freshen up.

After shower, wearing new clothes, I went down not too long for dinner because I want to finish this at once.

I found them all in the dining table just in time for dinner. We talked a little while eating not related to the one I am going to discuss.

I was my daughter done with her food. "Little Princess, you do not want dessert?" I asked, bending down to her.

"No, dad I am full already. Grams' cooked always the best." She grinned.

"Oh! Thank you little princess." My mom smiled happily.

"Okay, why don't you go to the living room and watch Frozen. Daddy will talk something to Grams and Gramps okay?" I suggested and she nodded. When I see her off the dining area I faced my parents.

"What is it?" Mom asked looking into my eyes that she was kind of nervous. I looked at my dad whose stare at me quietly.

"Mom, calm down it is not bad news I will tell you okay." I said and she sighed. "I will tell you that I am engage and getting married soon but we are planning to move in together first we wil find a house if everything falls into places." I blurt out without pausing. I saw my mom's mouth wide open but my dad just calm. It took a moment of silence. 

"With whom?" she finally asked. "I know you were dating every now and then but we haven't met her."

"You already know her, Mom." I declared chuckled at her. Her eyebrow rose. "It's Macy, Shayla's best friend.

"Whaat?!" she was shock and my dad just sat there listening to us. He did not interfere any of our conversations. He will always be like that listening first carefully before opening his mouth if it is not that serious. "How? I mean I never saw you ..." she stopped did not finish her words.

"Mom, Dad, Macy and I began dating not long ago and we love each other. I know what you mean how but I like her long ago since I was in high school." I explained. "I love her now I thought I never going to see her again but fate gave us another chance." 

"Oh!"

"Yes mom, and not just it there's more. I know you two will not going to believe it, me too at first." I laughed; my tears slowly began to fall, tears of joy that was it is.

"Why are you crying?" my dad finally spoke. "What is it son?"

"Yeah, what is it, honey? You are scaring us." Mom added.

"No, I told you it is not a bad thing but a great one." I said, "Macy have a son and that son is mine." I admitted smiling, tears still falling I haven't hug my son. "It is mine, Mom, that's why she left our town because she was pregnant with my son."

My mother stood up and embraced me crying too and I could feel my dad was behind me patted my back.

"His name is Shan Matt, Mom she named after me."
