Chapter 1

Shaun Murphy sat at the cafeteria at San Jose Saint Bonaventure eating lunch. Suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, Shaun."

Shaun turned around to see Clark.

"Max!" Shaun cheered.

Shaun got up and ran over to hug his best friend.

"What are you doing here?" Shaun asked.

"My new boss made me take time off," Clark replied. "I've been kind of working too hard."

"How hard?" Shaun asked.

"I worked for 60 hours straight," Clark replied.

"Max," Shaun said.

"Shayna was out of town and I was sad!" Clark shouted.

"Sleep deprivation is not good," Shaun said.

"I know," Clark said.

"Hand me your phone," Shaun said.

"Why?" Clark asked.

"I want to add my new address," Shaun said. "I want you to come over tonight and swim."

"I'd love to," Clark said. "I'll ask Shayna if she wants to come."

Later that night, Shaun and Clark splashed each other in the pool at Shaun and Lea's new apartment building. Lea and Shayna lied down in fold-out chairs watching them.

"You two are going to get us banned from the pool!" Lea hollered.

"They don't care," Shayna said.

"So, Shayna," Lea said. "Are you excited about becoming a mother?"

"I am," Shayna said.

"Is it stressful?" Lea asked.

"Yes," Shayna replied. "But Maxwell has been a great help. Sometimes annoying, but he's been a great help. He's going to be wonderful father."

"Hey, you two!" Clark shouted. "Come in the pool!"

"Okay," Shayna said.

Shayna got up and jumped into the pool while Lea continued to lounge in her chair.

"Lea," Shaun said. "Come on."

"No thanks," Lea said. "I'm just going to lay here and relax."

Shaun climbed out of the pool and walked over to Lea.

"No!" Lea shouted. "Don't you dare, Shaun Murphy!"

Shaun picked Lea up and began walking.

"You put me down, Shaun!" Lea shouted. "Shaun Murphy! You put me down this instant!"

Shaun dropped Lea into the pool. He then jumped back into the pool. Lea stood up in the pool and looked at Shaun.

"You are so going to pay for that!" Lea shouted.

Shaun and Lea began splashing each other.

"You make such a cute couple," Clark said.

"We're not a couple," Shaun said. "We're just living together."

Clark looked at Shayna. Shayna gave her husband a hug.

"Don't interfere," Shayna whispered into Clark's ear.
