A look of happiness and surprise came across my face. "AJ, you're not messing with me, are you?" "No," he said gently. " I really want to give us a try, Lanie. Please?" "Yeah. I'd love to give a us a try," I said. "Good." He moved in for a kiss. Just before our lips met: " Mommy. Can we go get my stuff?" AJ and I both looked at Shandi. "Sure, hun," I said. "Come on." I grabbed her and we went downstairs.We got all of her new things out of the car and too her bed room. A.J. was helping us, and the rest of the gang was downstairs watching Tv. Shandi started to sing the song that we always sang at practice. "I just cant pretend no more. I keep running out of lies, loving you is killing me inside." she sang. "What is she singing?" A.J. asked. "She singing her birth song. It's an old KISS tune. We always sing it together." I said smiling. "Oh, where are her parents?" he asked. "They were in a plane accident, when she was just a small baby. They left the orphanage a tape with the song on it." I said. "Oh, that's interesting. Does she have any memories of them?" he asked. "I think she has a picture." I said. "Oh" I felt a tug on my waist, and looked down to see Shandi looking up at me with those crystal clear blue eyes. "Hey Mommy, can I go see Nick? Is he downstairs? Do you think he will play Mario Cart with me?" she asked so many questions with a smile. "Um...yes, yes, and I think he will be happy to play a video game with you, sweetie." I said smiling. "Yay!!" she shouted. Jumping up and down. Then she ran down the stairs, to go find Nick. Me and A.J. just laughed. Then he pulled me into his arms, and gave me a passionate kiss. Just then Lisa barged into the door. "Lanie! Shandi has taken my man prisioner! She wont let me have him back!" she shouted. Me and A.J. just looked at each other and started laughing. "Looks like someone is jealous." I said. "Who...me? Jealous?... Hell no!" she shouted. We were still laughing at her, when we heard Jenny shouting. "Guys, Guys! Guess what, guess what?!" she shouted. "What is all the shouting about?" A.J. asked. "Look!" she said holding out her hand. "Wow! That is a big ring! Where did you get it?!" I asked. "Kevin.......he asked me to marry him!" she shouted. "Oh my God, what did you say?" I asked. "Well.....Yes!" she said. "CONGRADULATIONS" we all told her. "So, when is the wedding?" I asked. " We agreed to get married in three months! I'm so excited!! And he asked me before......before" "Well, before what?" I asked. "Before I told him I was pregnant!" she said smiling.
