Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Days characters, just use them in my own stories. If I did own the characters I probably would have already have Shawn and Belle married with a kid.

I'm not sure about a title, so please leave your suggestions!!!

Chapter 1

"Belle, would you excuse us for a minute," Bo said his eyes sad as he looked from his oldest son to the woman he loved. "Sure, I'll just go up and check on Zack," Belle said. She placed a comforting hand on Shawn's arm, before hurrying up the stairs.

Bo explained the situation with his mother to Shawn, Shawn's face turning from sadness to anger and back again. A sadness for his mother and what may have happened to her, to the anger he felt towards the Dimera's and Lexie for what they may have done to her. From the top of the stairs, Belle watched Shawn's tears, her own tears also spilling over, for Shawn, but also for the small boy she had just seen sleeping in his crib. "Mommy," Zack's little voice said over the intercom. Belle came down the stairs quickly. "He was sleeping just a few minutes ago," Belle said trying to explain. "I'll go get him," Bo said quickly hurrying up the stairs. Belle looked at Shawn, the worry and anger he felt, mirrored in her own eyes. She silently just nodded and opened her arms allowing him to fall into her embrace. They stood like that for a while, Belle holding him tight, Shawn crying and letting out all the frustration, anger, and sadness he felt. It was now Bo's turn to watch from the top of the stairs. He smiled for the first time since his Fancy Face disappeared, at how much she would have loved to see their oldest son falling in love like they had all those years ago.

As Shawn and Belle separated, Bo took that as his notion to come back down. "I need to get back to the station. Zack's asleep. Belle are you going to stay here," Bo asked, already knowing the answer. "If that's alright with you. I'd really like to stay and be here for Shawn and Zack," she said putting a comforting arm around Shawn. "Not a problem, I'm glad your here for him. I'll call if there's any news," Bo said.

As soon as he was gone, Shawn turned to Belle. "He doesn't believe she's dead, and neither do I," Shawn said his voice regaining composure. "I don't either Shawn. There's just too many things that don't add up. Plus, I feel like we'd know if she was dead, you know," Belle said as if to answer her own question. "Yeah, I know," Shawn said smiling at her. "Belle would you like to look through some photo albums with me. I really just need to see my mom and my dad together, see how much love they have. I know that their love can overcome anything, but right now I feel like I kind of need a reassurance," Shawn said. "I'd like that. You know I love you Shawn, more than anything else. We're going to find her, I promise," Belle said smiling. Shawn came over to her and hugged her tightly in his arms. He placed a kiss to her forehead as he pulled back. "I love you too," he said.

A few minutes later Shawn had pulled out three large family photo albums to start with, while Belle went upstairs to check on Zack. He turned off all the lights, just leaving a small light by the couch and lighting a few candles on the mantle and around the living room. Belle descended the stairs slowly, reveling in the beauty of the room. Shawn saw her come down and smiled. No words were needed for the moment that passed between them. Together they sat down on the couch, Belle nestled to the side of him, his arm around her, a light blanket pulled around them. Shawn picked up the photo album and opened the book, seeing a photo of his parents together when they were little. Belle pointed to the picture. "Is that your mom and dad," Belle asked her voice no higher than a whisper. "Yeah, they met when they were young just like us," Shawn said looking into her blue eyes seriously.

Outside the Brady house, the young couple could not have known the sinister man who was about to come up to the home. Larry Welch walked Hope Brady, gagged, to the front of her house. "Take a good look at your sailor boy Hope, you won't ever be seeing him or his precious girl friend again," Larry said. Hope looked longingly in at Belle and Shawn who were cuddled together. "They love each other so much, it reminds me of Bo and me," Hope thought to herself. "Now you behave yourself Fancy Face, you try anything funny and I won't hesitate to kill him and his little girl friend just like I killed Billy," Larry said his voice menacing yet quiet. Hope just glared at him, before returning her eyes to the window. "I need to make a few phone calls," He said moving a few feet away from Hope so she wouldn't here him. Hope watched Larry turn his back to him, and set her plan into motion pulling out a piece of paper and a pen.

Meanwhile, inside the Brady home, Belle and Shawn had just come across the photo of Hope's wedding photo to Larry Welch. "Who's that," Belle asked perplexed. "That's Larry Welch. He tried to marry my mom, he was involved with a corrupt business of some kind. He's still in prison for it," Shawn said. They turned the page and came across a photo of Bo and Hope, in the delivery room, holding Shawn. Shawn stared at the photo his eyes tearing up. "Shawn, come here," said Belle pulling him closer as the photo album slid from his lap and returned to the page of Larry Welch and Hope's wedding.

Outside Hope had just finished the letter as Larry was finishing the phone call. "She doesn't suspect a thing sir. We'll be arriving on the island in a few hours. We had to make a short stop so she could see her kid," Larry said into the phone. "Yes Sir, I understand, the Brady's won't know what to do after this one hits the fan," Larry said. A few moments later he hung up the phone.

Inside as Belle hugged Shawn, she turned her head and saw a face staring in from outside. Hope, she thought to herself. Closing her eyes for a moment, she reopened them and still saw Hope staring back at her, her face loving. Hope's face suddenly realizing that Belle had seen her, mouthed Help Me. Belle pulled away from Shawn quickly her face surprised and pale. "What is it Belle," Shawn asked noticing her ghastly expression. "Hope. Shawn I saw her in the window," Belle's honest yet shaken voice said. Before Shawn could reply they heard a thump outside as Shawn and Belle jumped up from the couch.
