Chapter 4
Mimi was almost to Salem, there was no turning back now. She didn’t know what she was going to say to them. How do you just push back so many things and act like they never happened? How is she supposed to act around Phillip, someone who almost killed her? How was she supposed to see Shawn and Belle together? Though it didn’t bother her as much as it used to she still knew it would be awkward between the three of them. Before she knew it they were landing in Salem.
******************************************************
Shawn and Belle were waiting for her when she got off the plane and were waving and smiling at her while she came down the terminal. ‘ Nice one Mimi…what have you gotten yourself into now.’ She thought.
“Mimi! It’s so good to have you back.” Belle said
“Yeah well…hopefully I won’t be here for too long.” Mimi said
The car ride was pretty quiet. Mimi told them how life was in Arizona, but yet she could not tell them why she left in the first place, for now she would keep that a secret.
“Is the pub for lunch okay Meems?” Shawn said
“Yeah that sounds great. I sure haven’t been there in a while.” Mimi said
They pulled up to the pub and Shawn and Belle could both feel their heart start pounding. Mainly because if anyone knew Mimi they knew that way she reacted to big things was always a toss up, but if they thought they were nervous they should have seen Phillip…
**********************************************************
Phillip was pacing. Pacing like he never has before in his life. How do you tell your friend since kindergarten that you guys now have to raise a baby?
“Oh man, what am I doing? She is going to freak out why didn’t I know this sooner!” Phillip said
The little baby boy started giggling at his dad. “Oh you think that’s funny huh? Daddy freaking out makes you laugh.” The baby just kept giggling and Phillip couldn’t help but smile, though the moment was interrupted when the door to the pub opened and Belle, Shawn, and then Mimi all walked in.
“Mimi…I…I’m glad you could come.” Phillip said searching for the words to say.
“Mimi…I am just going to have to come out and say it because I don’t think I can make it through the long version.” Phillip said
“Phillip what is it? You’re starting to scare me.” Mimi said
Phillip then picked up the little boy and looked at Mimi.
“This? This is what I had to come here for? You adopt a baby and I am supposed to be amazed or something.” Mimi said
“Umm…no Meems. I didn’t adopt. This is my biological child…our child. The one we signed away our rights too.” Phillip said
“Uh…Excuse me. What?!” Mimi said
“Mimi, your mother was paying the surrogate every month to get the baby when he was born, but when she went to jail she gave him to my father and he paid her bail money…I am so sorry Mimi.” Phillip said
“So…that is why she was always broke. She said she would be ‘cashing in’ in about three months I can’t believe I didn’t even think about this.” Mimi said
It was then that she looked at the baby in Phillips arms. It was a blue blanket. It was a little boy….her son. She started to sob at the sight she was looking at.
“Mimi here…do you want to hold him?” Phillip said
“No Phillip! No! Just get him away from me! I…I can’t handle this right now.” Mimi said and ran out of the pub and Shawn started after her.
“Shawn wait! Maybe you should just let her be.” Belle said
“Belle, look. I can get through to her I know I can.” Shawn said and ran outside
‘I know you can, and that’s what scares me.’ Belle thought
***************************************************
Shawn stopped Mimi outside. He turned her around and made her look at him. She was hysterical. He was not going to let her blow this.
“Mimi…get a hold of yourself.” Shawn said
“Shawn…I can’t do this. This isn’t right…I…I’m just so confused.” Mimi said sobbing
Shawn hugged her. “I know. This is so much to take at one time, but Mimi…I won’t let you blow this.” Shawn said
“Shawn I can’t have a baby right now! Don’t you get that?! My life is so mixed up right now that baby would just be brought into the middle of it.” Mimi said
“Meems I know you are not ready. None of us are, but mark my words Mimi Lockhart, if you give up this chance that will be one more thing in your life that you will regret. I know that you want to be a mother and even if it has come at the worst part of your life…still it has come. Mimi this is your chance to be happy. What better way to mend a broken heart than to have a baby to love. That is your son in there Mimi and this is your only shot at having a kid …this is your last chance.” Shawn said
“My…last chance…” Mimi stuttered out
“Yes your last. I know that you are not ready but Mimi you have three great friends who are more than willing to be there, and Phillip…he already knows how to be a dad so that’s one less thing you have to think about. Mimi I think it’s about time that we all start to really be friends again, like we used too. I think that you being happy is how we are going to do that.” Shawn said
“I…I do want to be happy Shawn…I…want to be a mother.” Mimi choked out
“Well then follow me.” Shawn said
Mimi followed Shawn into the pub and saw Belle holding the baby and Phillip sitting next to her.
“Mimi…he’s yours. Just look at him, he looks just like you.” Belle said
Mimi took her son and stared at him longingly. This was what she had been waiting on for so long, this feeling of holding your child. Crappy timing, but still…this was her dream that she didn’t even realize she had, and she was ready to accept this challenge.
“Mimi, we need to name him. I wanted you to name him.” Phillip said
“Jacob…I want to name him Jacob…Jacob Thomas.” Mimi said
Phillip smiled “Jacob Thomas it is.” “Hey there Jake, I’m your Daddy and this is your Mommy. I think you are going to have a lot of fun with her, she always makes people laugh.” Phillip said
This made Mimi cry. She could do this. Phillip was going to be a great dad. She smiled at the fact that she knew her son would not grow up the way she did. Even though her and Phillip did not love each other that little boy would have the greatest parents and godparents that he could have. At that moment Mimi made a promise to God to be the best mother she could be to her son…after all, it was her last chance to be a mother and she was going to do the best that she could do.
Shawn smiled at her. She was finally happy; could that have been all he wanted? Or did he want just a little bit more?
This is as far as I have gotten writing it but I am going to continue. Just some spoilers, I am going to make this a Shimi, and Phelle fanfic but I will just keep it in the general fanfiction since it was originally just going to be a Mimi fanfic. Though watching Shimi videos on youtube the other night made me really miss them so that’s what this is going to be.
