Do We Tell Her?

Later that evening, Dean & Becky were at Michelle's home waiting for her to arrive with her Dad & brothers. Dean, Becky & Willow were all sitting in the living room when they heard a car pull up into the driveway.

Willow-''That must be them.''

Willow, Dean & Becky got up and went outside onto the front porch as Ian, Scott, Diego & Michelle got out of the car.

Willow-''And there they are!''

Willow, Dean & Becky walked down the front steps and Willow greeted Ian with a hug and a kiss.

Ian-''I missed you, honey.''

Willow-''I missed you too.''

Then Willow hugged Scott & Diego as Michelle walked up to who she thought was Becky.

Michelle-''Hey, Becky!''

Dean-''Hey!''

They hugged and Dean didn't wanna let her go as they hugged tightly.

Michelle-''Someone really missed me.''

They pulled away from their hug.

Dean-''Sure did. But not as much as that guy over there.''

Dean pointed to Becky. Michelle walked up to who she thought was Dean.

Michelle-''Hey.''

Becky-''H-Hey.''

They hugged tightly as everyone else went inside the house and Dean stood on the front porch. Then he saw Michelle kiss Becky and Becky had no choice but to return the kiss.

Dean-''Oh, man. Friday better come fast.''

Dean saw them pull away from their kiss and saw the surprised look on Becky's face.

Michelle-''I missed you, Dean.''

Becky-''Wow. I uh, missed you too, baby.''

Michelle-''Come on, let's go inside.''

Michelle & Becky walked onto the porch by Dean.

Becky-''I'll be with you in a sec, baby.''

Michelle went inside to say "hello" to her mom as Dean smirked at Becky.

Dean-''Well?''

Becky-''Wow. You weren't joking.''

Dean chuckled.

Dean-''Don't get used to it. This spell or whatever will be over soon.''

Becky-''Do you honestly think I want us to stay like this?''

Dean-''No. But you kissed a girl....and you liked it!''

Becky laughed and Michelle heard Dean's laughter as she was in the kitchen with her mom.

Michelle-''Are Dean & Becky joining us for dinner, Mom?''

Willow-''Yes. You can go get them. Dinner is almost ready.''

Michelle-''Ok.''

Michelle walked out of the kitchen and walked up to the front door as Dean & Becky were talking and they had their backs towards her and didn't know she was there.

Becky-''Despite how the rest of this week may or may not go for us....have you considered telling Mick?''

Dean-''I don't know. I hate keeping this secret from her even though it's not gonna last very long.''

Michelle-''What secret?''

They turned around and looked at Michelle with wide eyes.

Michelle-''Dean....what's going on?''

Michelle asked with concern.

Becky-''Uh, baby. Uh....there's no way to....there's no easy way to tell you this.''

Michelle-''Tell me what?''

Becky-''I....I....''

Dean-''I am going back to Ireland!''

Michelle-''What?''

Dean-''I told Dean today that I'm heading back home to Ireland after I graduate. I haven't told Seth yet. Only myself, my parents and now you two know.''

Dean & Becky were hoping Michelle would believe it.

Michelle-''Wow. So, you asked Dean to keep it a secret?''

Dean-''Just for a few days because I wanted to tell you tomorrow morning when we head back to our dorm room.''

Michelle-''Oh. So, that part about the secret not lasting long is because you're leaving after we graduate? That's 5 months from now.''

Dean-''I know.''

Michelle-''Wow. I mean, I understand that you miss home & your brother.''

Becky-''She does. It was hard for her to tell me about it today because she's not sure how we'd all react to her leaving. Especially Seth.''

Michelle-''Oh, ok. I understand why you haven't told us until now, Becky. And it's ok that you asked Dean to keep it quiet for you because you wanted to tell us in your own time.''

Dean-''Thanks, Mick.''

Michelle-''No problem.''

They hugged.

Michelle-''It's not gonna be the same without you here, Becky.''

Dean-''I know. But hey, that's months away.''

They chuckled.

Willow-''Dinner's ready!''

They all heard Willow call out.

Michelle-''Come on, let's go eat.''

They all went inside and had dinner together.

After dinner, everyone was sitting in the living room together as Ian, Scott, Michelle & Diego were telling Willow, Dean & Becky about their camping trip.

Ian-''We had fish for dinner, but catching them was a bit of a challenge.''

Willow-''What happened?''

Scott-''We were on the dock when my fishing rod got pulled into the lake when I wasn't holding it.''

Dean-''No way.''

Scott-''I put it down for a split second!''

Everyone laughed.

Diego-''Luckily, it wasn't too far and he could reach and grab it. Otherwise, he would've had to go swimming.''

Everyone chuckled.

Scott-''There's no way I would've gone into that lake. But I would've thrown you in there, little bro.''

Diego-''Yeah, right before I drag you in there with me!''

Everyone laughed.

Willow-''And what about you, Mick? What was your favourite part?''

Michelle-''Other than everything, *smiles* Having a one on one father daughter talk.''

Ian smiled at her.

Michelle-''And the ghost stories Dad told us at the campfire.''

Ian laughed.

Willow-''Ian, you said you weren't gonna do that this time.''

Ian-''They're not little kids anymore, honey.''

Willow-''Scott may be 24, Mick may be 20 and Diego may be 17, but they will always be my babies.''

Michelle-''Aww!''

Everyone smiled.

Scott, Diego & Michelle-''We love you, Mom.''

Willow-''I love you all too.''

Everyone smiled and enjoyed the rest of their evening.

Later, Dean & Becky got in Dean's truck as Michelle stood on the front porch and waved at them as they left. Michelle walked back inside & locked the front door as Ian walked up to her.

Ian-''Are you ok, sweetheart?''

Michelle-''Yeah. I just don't feel like going back to class tomorrow.''

Ian-''Don't worry, it'll all be over soon. Next thing you know, you'll be graduating.''

Michelle-''Yeah. Well, goodnight, Dad.''

Ian-''Goodnight, sweetheart.''

They hugged. Michelle went upstairs to her room as Ian went to the kitchen where Willow was.

Ian-''Is everything ok at college with Mick?''

Willow-''Yes. Her grades are excellent and her work isn't consuming her time. Why do you ask?''

Ian-''Something has been bugging me all weekend that something might be wrong, but I just can't put my finger on it.''

Willow-''What do you think it is?''

Ian-''I tried asking her, but she just says "everything's fine" or she tells me something else.''

Willow-''Oh, ok.''

Ian-''Do you think it's me? Being away for months on end for work?''

Willow-''Ian-''

Ian-''I know this job got me this busy in the last year or two, but I always said that I'd be there for her and the boys.''

Willow-''Ian, you can't blame yourself for something that you have no idea what it's about. Just ask Mick what is going on and I'm sure she'll tell you.''

Willow walked up to Ian.

Willow-''Mick loves you so much. You two have always been able to talk to each other about anything.''

Ian-''What if it's a woman problem? That would explain why she really can't talk to me about it.''

Willow-''If it was a woman problem, I'd know about it by now.''

Ian-''What if she's pregnant?''

Michelle-''I am not, Dad.''

They both looked over and saw Michelle standing in the doorway.

Ian-''Good. Not that we don't want grandkids one day.''

Michelle smiled.

Ian-''But it's too soon for you & Dean.''

Michelle-''I understand.''

Willow-''You wanna tell us what's going on, Mick?''

Michelle-''Nothing serious. It's just been on my mind a lot and I can't shake it.''

Willow-''What is it, sweetheart?''

Michelle walked up to them.

Michelle-''It's Dean.''

Ian-''What about him, sweetie?''

Michelle-''I know he's been my only boyfriend that I've ever had and we've been together since highschool. But now I....I feel different.''

Willow-''You don't wanna be with Dean anymore?''

Michelle-''Lord, no. Not that, Mom. It's the total opposite actually.''

Michelle smiled.

Michelle-''I know I've been in love with Dean for years, but now that college is almost over....I find myself thinking about my future with Dean.''

They smiled.

Michelle-''I think about us moving in together. Then I think about us getting engaged, getting married and....having a baby together.''

Michelle's eyes filled with tears.

Willow-''Oh, sweetheart. Why are you crying?''

Ian-''Yeah, those are good things to think about.''

Michelle-''Don't worry, these are happy tears because I never grew up thinking about all those things and now....I feel so happy when I think about having those things with him.''

Willow-''Oh, sweetie.''

Willow hugged Michelle.

Michelle-''Is it silly to feel like this?''

Ian & Willow-''No.''

Michelle smiled.

Willow-''Not at all, sweetie. You're actually reminding me of myself because I felt the same way about your father when I was your age.''

Michelle-''Really?''

Willow-''Yeah.''

Ian-''And I felt the same way about your mother.''

Michelle-''Do you think Dean feels the same way about me?''

Willow & Ian smiled knowing that Dean did because they obviously knew about him wanting to propose to Michelle after graduation.

Willow-''Of course he does.''

Ian-''Dean looks at you the same way I looked at your mother all those years ago. Oh, what am I saying? I continue to look at your mom that way.''

Willow-''Aww.''

Michelle giggled.

Michelle-''Thank you. You're both the best.''

They had a group hug.

Michelle-''I'm going to bed. Goodnight, I love you both.''

Ian & Willow-''Goodnight, sweetie. We love you too.''

They smiled. Michelle went to bed as Becky dropped off Dean at her house.

Becky-''2 days down, 5 more days to go.''

Dean-''I'm gonna have a serious talk with Paige about her damn hobbies.''

Becky-''You gonna tell her to stop making potions and doing this crap to people?''

Dean-''Nope. I'm gonna get a spell to turn Seth into a bug.''

Becky laughed!

Becky-''If you do that, I will hurt you.''

Dean-''With this fragile body? I don't think so.''

Becky-''Stop calling me fragile! I will kick your ass!''

Dean-''Whatever you say, Becky Balboa.''

They laughed as Dean got out of the truck.

Dean-''Back to college tomorrow. That's when the real shit begins.''

Becky-''We'll take it one day at a time.''

Dean-''Yeah.''

Dean & Becky bumped fists.

Dean-''Goodnight.''

Becky-''Goodnight.''

Becky drove off as Dean went into the house.
