CHAPTER 11: WHAT'S GOING ON?

SHANE

I sent her home with a happy heart. What happened a while ago was beyond my expectation. I thought she would say to me that she is not ready. But actually, it never occurs to me. I know we feel the same. I can feel that.

What unexpectedly now that we are an officially couple. A real couple that I can call her my girlfriend not just dating thing. I am glad she never rejected me. I got nervous back then about her reply.

I want to know more about her son and spend more time both of our kids together like a family. My daughter loves her and I am sure her son will be okay with it. I went to bed with contentment in my heart.

I woke up the next day for work with smile on my face. I send my daughter to school.

"Dad, you are happy today. You keep smiling." Shanice giggled too, looking at me while we were in the car.

"I am happy because you and Aunt Macy makes me happy." I replied. "You want Daddy for Aunt Macy?" She nodded. "Okay, good! You know that Aunt Macy has a son, right." Shanice nodded. "Are you alright with that?"

"Yes, dad. I want to have brother or sister. Our house is boring." She pouted at me. I laughed. "I want a house like Aunt Shay. They have babies."

I even laughed aloud at her comments. I dropped her to her classroom and goes to the hospital for my clinic schedule. I was supposedly schedule in school but one of my patients I needed to check. But I will be there once I see my patients.

Grabbing my phone, I gave Macy a text more often than the usual, because she is now my girlfriend.

Shane: Hey, beautiful!

Macy: Hello, handsome!

Shane: Miss me? coz I miss you

Macy: Nope, I don't. 😝

She replied teasing me.

Shane: 😞 Are you sure? I can see that you are lying, love 😝😘

Macy: Hahaha... I miss you too my love 😘

Shane: Now, I have the energy to work my butt since you called me my love too 😍

Macy: Me too, I am happy to call you that because I know now that I can call you mine. 😘

Shane: You were the second person I dated seriously after my wife. Macy, do not doubt me for what we have because I am not playing with you. You know that right.

Macy: I know, I just could not believe that you are into me. 🙂 I am not getting used to it but I guess I have to. 😁

I know what she means because I have known as womanizer in high school. I never dated, seriously me just hooking up with a woman nothing serious.

We just met recently not too long to going out and had fun together of course, she had doubts. I am really serious with her. My, the one that got away before and I do want to have now. I make it right this time.

Shane: Of course, I know what you mean by that my love, but this with you I will prove that I am not kidding.

Macy: Okay. I believe you and get back your ass to work. 😊 You patients need you to focus. 😝

Shane: Got it my love. Let's back to work. Text you later! 😘

Macy: 😘

I placed my phone inside my pocket and do my duty as a physician. I will text her later at lunch after my roving with my patients.

After exchanged text with Macy this morning. My eyes caught up one of the messages sent by my couch friend. He texted to letting me know about their first game. I almost had forgotten about it. I texted Macy that I will be watching some games.

I was still in school. My daughter went home with my mother after her classes. They will go to the mall to buy her new dress for her classmate's birthday tomorrow.

So, I decided to watch the game since in a few minutes I will be off.

I reached the gym with loud voices I heard the game already started few minutes ago. I find my own seat not far from the coach and his players. I got seated to the upper area in a few rows.

I already foresee the winner and it is our school. Their scores were way too far than the other team. The number 9 kid was done an excellent job playing. It never failed my judgment our school won and the number 9 kid has a big potential. I stood up ready to go home when my eyes caught on Macy.

I raised my brows wondering what was she doing in here. She said she was out with her parents. I walked down towards to approach her when a young boy embraced her. I stopped my tracks and it was the kid in Jersey number 9. I heard him called her Mommy and my heart suddenly stopped after hearing him.

'What's going on?'

I got confused that I could not step forward towards them. I saw them left their seats and walked to the exit door. They were happy. I followed my eyes on them. I kept my distance not to know that I was watching them. They headed to the parking area and saw them get inside the car then drove away.

I stepped in my car and took a deep breath before decided to head home. My mind was still in some kind of twirl about what I witness. That was Macy's son?

As soon as I reached home, saw my little princess watching in the living room with my parents.

"Hello daddy!" She jumped out from the couch and hugged me.

I carried her up into my arms and kissed her. "How was your shopping with granny baby?"

"Granny bought me pretty dress for tomorrow Daddy and it is my favorite color." She said excitedly.

"That's nice, my little princess. I know you will look pretty wearing it on." I said and put her down. "Okay, go back to what you were watching and Daddy will take a shower. Love you."

"Okay, Daddy, love you too." She replied as she sat back beside my mother.

I went straight to my room I need to take a shower. A cold shower because I still not in my right mind to think what I saw.

I striped off my clothes and tossed it to my laundry basket. When I was inside the bathroom, I turned on the shower into a cold one. It bothered me what I saw.

'What's going on? How come?'

I was in my bed thinking. How come her son looks like me when I was his age? Unless...
