Chapter 201: Family Honeymoon – THE END
“Shanty, are you having a great time on our family honeymoon?” Evan asked while putting an arm around his wife.
“I think this is the best honeymoon we have ever been to,” Shantelle suggested.
Evan groaned, saying, “You hurt my feelings.” He pressed his lips against her ear and whispered, “What about those nights you scream my name?”
“Stop that. We are with the kids. And that’s a different kind of honeymoon. You said it yourself. This is a family honeymoon.” Shantelle warned while looking back at the tourist bus they had secured, especially for their family.
Apparently, Evan’s honeymoon trip for their wedding anniversary involved bringing all their kids with them. Shantelle had no complaints, though, because getting the kids out of their heads was difficult. That was probably why they never got to take the trip
they had always wanted since Evan and Shantelle re-married. Often, they stayed within the country or the Caribbean at most.
Their first destination was Paris. Next, they were headed to Rome and Greece.
However, their itinerary focused more on Paris since it was Shantelle’s dream destination in the past. 1
“We are here!” Lucas announced, pointing outside the window. “The Eiffel Tower!”
“Wow!” Amara exclaimed. “What’s so amazing about that?” 1
Evan and Shantelle laughed, including Miguel, who was with them to help watch the kids. Lucas chuckled, pointing out, “My brother and sisters can’t appreciate this yet.”
Their bus pulled over, and the family slowly descended to tour Paris’ most famous attraction.
The family arrived around six in the evening, booking an entire restaurant and a VIP pass to the viewing area. In each level, Evan told them about the trip he and Shanty made years back, “This is where your Mommy and I had dinner then! We will also have our dinner here, only in a different restaurant.
After the family had a lovely meal, they went to the upper deck’s viewing area, and it was when the younger kids finally appreciated the Eiffel.
“The view is great!” Amelia said.
“Wow, look at all the lights?” Marcus said, pointing to the city.
“I like it here now,” Amara proclaimed. 1
After the Eiffel Tower, Evan took his family to the Grande Roue De Paris, closing the entire Ferris Wheel for their family. Before hopping in, Evan told his children, “This is where your mommy gave daddy a second chance.”
“What’s a second chance, Daddy?” Amara asked.
“Ah, it’s a long story,” Evan said.
“I like long stories,” Amara replied, encouraging laughter from Shantelle and Lucas.
Miguel was also the same, chuckling behind Evan, i
Holding Amara’s hand, Evan admitted, “Daddy made a mistake before, and your mommy left me. So when we got back together, that was our second chance.”
The man smiled and pinched Amara’s nose, saying, “When you are older.
You will understand.” 1
Looking at the opened capsules, he changed the topic. “Let’s hop in!”
“I’m going to have a single capsule with your mommy!” Evan announced.
“I’ll take Amara,” Lucas offered.
“I’ll be with Amelia and Marcus,” Miguel said.
While riding the Ferris Wheel, the adults took pictures of the other capsule or sometimes of themselves. They were admiring the view when suddenly fireworks erupted.
“Oh, my god, Evan. Did you do this?” Shantelle asked, looking at Evan in shock.
“Of course, Wifey. Just to reminisce about the day we became a couple again,” Evan said. They took pictures of each other with the fireworks in the background. 1
From across their capsule, they saw Marcus and Amelia’s reaction as they happily stared at the night sky. They turned to Lucas and Amara and saw their little girl jumping for joy. 1
The fireworks display lasted for half an hour, and at the end of their rides, Evan told his children how he did the same for their mommy years back.
The family had a magnificent first night in Paris. They visited the science and industry museum the next morning, where the kids loved the robotics display, video games, and other technology. For the rest of
their Paris adventure, they had their portraits painted in the streets, rode on a boat, and saw the city through the canal.
After more than a week of a fantastic experience in Paris, the couple left for Rome and lingered there for three days. They visited the ruins of ancient Roman temples, but the kids appreciated the pizza and the ice cream more. Thus, the highlight of their trip to Rome was how they made pizza on their own!
Greece, however, was a different story. Their family went from one island to another, touring the small streets with white buildings and narrow paths. Aside from shopping, they spent most of their time lounging in their rooms with a private pool or simply enjoying the beach. It was an experience the kids thoroughly enjoyed. 1
On their last day in Greece, the kids were sad. They didn’t want to leave, but they had been away for almost three weeks, and it was time to return. Thus, they bid goodbye to Greece the next day and rode on a private plane.
The entire family, including Shantelle, expected to be back in Rose Hills, but to their surprise, their private plane landed at the airport, two hours away.
After a seven-hour flight, Shantelle thought she imagined things, but when she got off the plane, she said, “This isn’t Rose Hills, Evan.”
“I know,” Evan said with a wink. “One more trip before we head back.”
“Are we still on vacation?” Amelia asked.
“Yes, we are, baby!” Evan confirmed. ’ For another week.”
Shantelle’s mouth fell to the ground, but Evan assured her, “I told Doctor Hale about you being away for a month. Don’t worry.
Everything is covered.
’ The man pecked her cheek and added, “It’s a surprise.”
It wasn’t until they arrived at the beach resort that Shantelle finally knew why they were there. She was already smiling from ear to ear as they processed their resort check-in. i
“Wifey, you look happy,” Evan teased.
“Oh, I know where we are going, Evan,” Shantelle claimed, grinning like a fool and flushing. She hugged her husband and said, “Thanks for remembering. I love you so much.”
“I love you more, Shanty,” Evan declared. “That’s why I am taking you to the places where you gave me a second chance, and what better way to do that than to bring our kids along.” 1
“They are going to love it,” Shantelle suggested.
After checking in at the resort, they had an early dinner before walking along the shoreline.
“Where are we going, Mommy? Daddy?” Amara asked.
“Somewhere special,” Evan claimed. He was walking hand in hand with Shantelle.
Behind them, Lucas was holding Amara. Amelia and Marcus were walking in the same line as their eldest brother.
It was Miguel who stayed at the back most, watching the children.
“Oh, look over there!” Marcus said, pointing at the beach. “It’s blue!” 1
“It’s neon blue,” Amelia corrected.
“Kids, let me introduce you to planktons!” Shantelle announced. This was where your daddy took me on a date before.” 1
“Come on, guys! This is pretty fun,” Evan said. He ran with Shantelle, and they showed the children how to play along on the shores barefoot.
Running after her parents, Amelia asked, “What are planktons, Mommy?”
“I know that one!” Lucas offered. “Planktons are microscopic organisms carried by tides and currents. What we have here are bioluminescent ones.
In large numbers, they cause the ocean’s surface to sparkle at night.” 1
“Wow! So they don’t bite?” Marcus asked.
“They are too small to bite us, Marcus,” Shantelle explained. “Come, experience the planktons.’
Lucas was the first to step into the waters after Evan and Shantelle. He showed his siblings, “See? I’m good.”
Marcus followed, and Amelia did too. It took a while, but eventually, Amara joined in, stomping her feet on the water and forming footprints in the sand.
“This is so cool!” Marcus claimed.
Miguel captured the moments for the family; when there were more than enough, he disappeared to carry out another task for Evan.
Everyone was splashing water, holding the sand with their hands, and making the longest neon blue footprints on the sand. While they were absorbed in their mini adventure, Lucas suddenly noticed lights flying toward them. He frowned and asked, “Drones?” 1
“Drones!” Marcus screamed, pointing to the sky.
Shantelle, who was making footprints with Amara, gasped. She turned to Evan, asking, “What is this?” Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
With a shrug, Evan answered, “My last surprise!”
Over a thousand drones lined up in the sky. The kids were gasping and cheering excitedly as the lights formed a heart. Next, the group of drones began a particular date: the date of Evan and Shantelle’s wedding anniversary.
The drones formed an image of a man, a woman, and a young boy. Below the figures, names were given, and Marcus read, “Mommy, Daddy, and Lucas!”
The lights above the figures created two wedding rings, suggesting marriage. The drones assembled more words, and Amelia read next, “Plus ten years.” She chuckled and read, “Now there’s me, Amelia, Marcus, and Amara!”
It was Shantelle’s turn to read, but she did so silently as she watched the night sky:
[To My Shanty, the love of my life, Happy Anniversary. With you and our children with me, life is beautiful. Thank you for loving me and giving me such a wonderful family.] i
Shantelle’s gaze was fixed on the sky, and she did not even notice how Evan wound up carrying a bouquet and a box of pineapple tarts.
Laughter escaped her lips as she sought, “Oh, god, Evan. Did you fly these from the Caribbean?”
“You bet. The resort received it for me,” Evan said before kissing Shantelle’s lips and hugging her. “I love you, Shanty. So much, and my love for you only grows in each day that passes.”
While maintaining the embrace, Evan urged his kids, “Say I love you to Mommy!”
“I love you, Mommy!” The younger kids said at the same time.
Lucas approached the couple and hugged them. He said, ‘ Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad. Thank you for getting back together and giving me a family.”
Shantelle did not know why, but Lucas’ words made her cry. Because more than just loving her husband, she realized she gave more to her son by giving Evan a chance, Hugging Lucas again, Shantelle pecked his cheek, saying, “No, son. Thank you for being the connection between your dad and me.”
“And thank you.” Evan winked at Lucas, saying, “For helping me win back your mom.”
The three of them delighted in a hug again, and because they remained that way for minutes, the younger kids also jumped in a hug.
“Group hug!” Marcus exclaimed.
“Group hug!” Amelia echoed, and Amara also joined the embrace.
The couple did not know how long they hugged each other, but Shantelle and Evan concluded it was one of the best family embraces they have ever had.
After the family’s long vacation, they returned to Rose Hills and resumed their daily lives.
Evan and Shantelle built relationships around them, especially maintaining their bond with Wendell and Milan, Sean and Reese, and Keith and Karise.
Throughout the years, they faced endeavors together, but with the strength of their union, love within their family, and bonds, they lived happily ever after,
