Shane and I were laying in bed. It’s Sunday morning, we’re just lying here, not even talking, just enjoying being together after all of this time. We’ve been up for a couple minutes waiting for the alarm to go off to start our day. Even though, it’s Sunday, we don’t sleep like we used to because of a little bundle of joy i had two months ago. I look at the clock. 7:52. The alarm is supposed to go off at 8 but like clockwork the baby starts to cry just before. Shane gets up to get the baby. I lay down for a couple more minutes when i hear the alarm go off…

I wake up with a start. I realize that it was all a dream, and the alarm i am hearing is my phone ringing. I answer it quickly because it had already rang a couple of times.

"Hello?" I said rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"Hey, i didn’t think you were going to answer at first." Shane said.

"Oh, no i must have fallen asleep and the phone just woke me up."

"Oh, sorry! Do you want to go back to sleep?"

"Oh no," I said looking at the clock, "I only have an hour before i have to be at The Planet and getting set up for tonight."

"Oh, well how about i swing by and pick you up so we can go together?"

"Ok babe."

"Alright Carm, i’ll be there in about 15 min that ok?"

"Yea, see you soon. Love you."

"You too."

I can’t shake the dream I was having before Shane woke me up. The room we were in, in the dream was our old house, well Shane’s house I should say. It felt so right. The dream, being there with Shane, where we spent most of life together. There are so many good memories from there, and a few bad ones like the morning Shane tried to tip toe in after fucking Cheri Jaffe all night. Oh, i try to block that from my memory.

I just get done getting ready when the doorbell rings.

 I wasn’t sure if i should walk in or not, so i opted to ring the doorbell. I can hear Carmen from the other side of the door.
