About 5 Years later...

Jesse had arrived on Broadway about four years ago. Since then, he had been in three shows, originated one role and had thousands of fans. Shelby had seen every single performance of him. He never saw her anywhere, he never even found out where she lived now. He didn't really search for her either, knowing she would find him when the time was right.

When she sat in front of the TV watching the Tony's, she knew the time had come. She could contact him now. He won three Tony's that year, leaving her a little stunned, but way too proud to be stunned for longer than a few seconds. She decided it was time to pay him a little visit after she heard his speech:

I want to thank my co-stars, my agent and everyone who ever believed in me , but all three awards are dedicated to the love of my life. I love you Shelby! Always have and always will!

When he came to the theater the next day, he only hoped for her to have called, or to have sent a letter or something. He wanted to know where she was, if she was okay. He didn't except her to actually come to the theater or something. Thinking she would want to start this slowly, he guessed she would have called. Walking into his dress room, he was more than surprised to see her there.

"My Star.", was the first thing she said, walking over to him to give him a light kiss on the lips. He deepened the kiss, bringing her closer with his arms, trying to find out if she was just his imagination. Turned out she wasn't.

He backed her up against the wall, running his hands over her body. The memories of their night back in school had fainted a little, due to many dreams about it.

Taking off each others clothes was taking way too long. Therefor his shirt ended up ripped open in front, somewhere on the floor and her panties landed next to it. After a few seconds the couple was lying on the couch, naked and exploring each others bodies. Both of them had problems reminding themselves that they weren't imagining this. There had been too many dreams, making the lines between reality and imagination blur.

Dreams never really get very close to reality, at least not in the point of perfection. Their sex in his dressing room was even better than the sex in the auditorium, maybe due to more experience on both sides.

Afterward they just lay there, forgetting everything around them.

They had each other now, that was all that mattered. His dreams had come true, at least most of them, since he wouldn't be able to have kids with her. But they could still adopt a baby. He was totally happy to finally have the love of his life and she couldn't stop smiling at the perfection of their moments together. The only weird thing at that second was, that Jesse was going to be Rachel's stepfather, but they would master that difficulty as good as the other ones, that had occurred throughout their relationship.

After all, love doesn't know any rules, even if following rules and regulations can have a huge influence on it, love should always be taken more serious.

The END.

A/N: In my opinion, this is finished! I hope you liked it and read and write more Shelby/Jesse fanfic. And yes I really think relationships with an age difference like that can work! What do you think? Can it work? REVIEW !
