NOTE:
1. I don't own any characters in this story and I have no affiliation with DOOL I am just a fan!
2. This story is set after Shawn tells everyone he is the father of Jan's unborn baby, except Belle. He tells her the truth and Belle hasn't completely forgiven Shawn yet but she wants to make their relationship work even if Jan is a part of it
3. DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE FIRST CHAPTER! I know most people aren't Shan fans (Shawn and Jan) but this IS a story about Shelle overcoming obstacles to become a couple again! Jan just might get in the way….
Chapter 1:
Shawn rested his head against his hand and sighed as he stopped at a red light. "Are you okay?" Jan asked him, her big blue eyes stared at him with concern. Shawn straightened up. "I'm fine Jan," he told her, not wanting her to worry. "Are you okay?" he asked as he started to drive again. Jan shrugged and looked away. "What's a matter?" he asked her, instantly picking up on her uncomfortable signals. "I felt the baby kick today." Jan told him. "That's great Jan!" Shawn said, ecstatic. Jan shrugged him away again. "Why Jan? What's wrong?" she looked at him for a second and opened her mouth as if to speak, but then just sighed and looked away. "Jan what is it?" asked Shawn urgently, making sure Jan was all right. "It's just," she began and Shawn nodded as if to help her along. She sighed and then went on, "well, I'm still just not used to having something living growing inside me and depending on me" she told Shawn. "But you do have something inside you," he said, "a living baby that you are taking care of at this very second, and Jan, do you know how amazing that is? You have a living miracle inside of you," he said. "Shawn," she told him, her voice full of pessimism "this living miracle inside of me is going to turn out to be a real live baby, a small little helpless baby, that won't know what to do. It's going to need me every second, do you know how much responsibility that is?" she asked Shawn, her voice trailing off. "Jan," he said soothingly, "You still have awhile to decide what you want to do once the baby is born," he told her. Shawn pulled the car into a driveway. "I know Shawn, but I just don't know what to do, I'm so glad you're here." She hugged him and tried to forget that she knew that he wanted her to keep the baby. I can't she told herself. It'll just remind me of what happened with Paul, I can't! She hugged Shawn even tighter. Suddenly she looked up and saw a blonde haired figure walking towards the car. "Shawn?" she asked, "what's she doing here?" "She wanted to come along," Shawn explained to her calmly as he got out to give Belle a hug and open the back car door for her. Jan rolled her huge eyes and shot a look of evil in Belle's direction. "Hi Jan!" Belle said with a smile, "how are you today?" she asked. Jan wouldn't answer and slumped down in her seat as far as she could with her belly
*FLASHBACK*
Jan is crying near the docks when Shawn notices her and runs over. "Jan what's wrong?" he asks. She looks up, her eyes all bleary "oh Shawn just go away" she tells him and bursts out into tears again. Shawn crouches down to her level and looks into her eyes. "Jan something's wrong; please tell me, maybe I can help," he offers. " No Shawn" she tells him, her tears finally beginning to subside, "you're the one person who can't help me." She turns away from him, sobbing silent tears now. Shawn sits with a look of confusion on his face, it didn't make any sense to him; all this time Jan had said he was the only one she could trust, and now he couldn't help her? It just didn't make any sense. "What?" he finally asks her, "why Jan? Why?" Jan turns to look at him again. "I'm not allowed to see you anymore, okay? She tells him painfully. "My parents told me that you weren't being right by getting me pregnant and not marrying me. I tried to explain…" she trails off. "So now I'm not allowed to see you," she tells him again. "Now no one can help me and I have no one to trust," she cries out into the darkness of the night. "Now I really am all alone," she says softer and more to herself than to Shawn as she hugs her belly. Shawn's heart goes out to her immediately. "Jan" he tells her gently as she cries, "you and the baby," he starts telling her "are the two most important things in my life, I will do anything for the both of you. I promise I won't leave you alone" he envelopes her in his arms, "I will be with you every step of the way" he whispers to her and they hold each other in the cold night, their bodies keeping each other warm. "You're all I have, Shawn," she whispers to him and she squeezes him tight as if she were hanging to him for her life. And that was the moment Jan Spears knew her heart and soul belonged to Shawn Brady
*END OF FLASHBACK *
Jan sat up in her seat again and watched as Shawn concentrated on getting to the hospital on time. Shawn Brady, Jan said to herself, one day you will be all mine she vowed.
