Carmen’s POV

When I woke up that morning I looked after Shane and Shay but none of them were in the room. I looked found the two of them in the kitchen eating their cereals. They didn’t notice me so I remained in next to the door frame and looked at them. I enjoyed watching them because somehow it felt like a real family. Shay, Shane and me, I loved the idea of us living together and having a normal life. I always wanted to have kids and I’ve never been sure if Shane would be able to raise a kid with me, but all my doubts were blown away since yesterday. My dream seemed to become reality but at the same time so far away. Because in reality I knew that Shay had to leave and Shane and I are not a couple anymore. Nevertheless I couldn’t stop daydreaming. I imagined myself pregnant and Shane caressing my belly and talking to the unborn baby. This scene was so lovely and it made me smile.

“Hey Carmen, why are you smiling?”, Shane interrupted my daydream.

“Uh…nothing…good morning you two, Shane come on. I always told you that you have to eat more than those cereals. And now you make Shay doing the same.”, I said trying to change the subject.

“But those cereals give you all the nutrients for a whole day and they are delicious.”, Shane said trying to defend her beloved cereals.

“I’m going to make some pancakes for both of you, alright?”, I said.

“Okay.”, they both said in unison.

While I made the pancakes Shay and Shane talked about video games, the movie we saw last night and school. They never stopped teasing each other. I just enjoyed watching and listening to them.

“Mhh…I missed your pancakes, Carm. Oh by the way, you’re coming with us right? We wanted to go shopping then Shay wanted to skate a little at WAX.”, Shane said

“Uh…I’m sorry I won’t be able to make it. I have to look after my nephew.”, I told her.

“Oh okay…but you’re going to join us tonight, right? Since Shay has to leave tonight.”, she said.

“Yeah, I think I will be able to be here around 7 p.m.”, I said.
