Email from Shayne, February 2000,

Dearest Kevin and Brian,

Jeffrey and I received the most the most incredible Valentine's Day gift ever today. I am proud to announce that your godson was born this morning at ten thirty am. He was almost nine pounds with a head full of Auburn hair and his father's face. Even though Jeffrey and I are still arguing over a name, Baby Bean is absolutely perfect. We can’t wait to see you for summer break so you can meet him in person. I'll update you with the name and pictures soon. I love you both.

Please take care of yourself.

See you soon,
Shayne


Email to Shayne, Five years later-

“Dearest Shayne, Jeffrey and Aiden,

I'm dropping you a quick line to tell you that I'm met someone today. She's beautiful just like you said she would be. At first, I wasn't sure it was her, until I met her beautiful red-headed daughter with eyes that glow purple when she's mad. My knees are already knocking.
I gave her tickets to the bowl game this weekend in the same VIP box that you, Jeffrey and Brian will be at. Can you look after her until I get that victory you've promised me?

I can’t wait to see you and my godson. I want to hear all about your dance studio, and how Jeffrey is doing with the new business.

See you soon,
Kevin
