"I know exactly what it feels like to losethe love of my life!"

"How could he say that? How could he mean that? It was just one of those things you say in the heat of the moment that you never really mean, right? He doesn't still love her. He doesn't still need her. He loves me. He loves me and not her. So what if he spent the first 18 years with her. So what if he was captured by a lunatic who put him in a cage so his best friend could move in on his girlfriend. So what if he loved Belle and had hopes of marrying her. So what if he fathered a child with her. That actually doesn't count since he still doesn't know. None of that matters. He married me. He loves me. Not her, right? Or does he?" Mimi thought to herself as she ran to the parking lot.

"MIMI! Mimi, wait!" Shawn said running after her.

"What?"

"Why are you running away? What's wrong?"

"I think I want a divorce."

"What? Mimi, we're trying to have a baby. We love each other. We're married. What's happening?"

"You still love her Shawn. I'm the one you used to get over her. I'm the one you stuck in your life to replace her. She's irreplaceable. She has your heart. I'm just the girl sitting here waiting for you to take it back and give it to me."

"What? Where are you getting all this from?"

"When you yelled at your dad, Shawn! You told him you knew exactly how it feels to lose your one true love. You hadn't lost me, so it obviously wasn't me. It was Belle you were referring to. I don't know how I could have been so stupid to believe that you could love me back."

"Mimi, I do love you!" Shawn protested.

"Yes, but you aren't in love with me. You're in love with her. You always will be. I can't handle being the second best. I want to be first. I want to the your only. I don't want you to picture her while you're making love to me. I don't want you looking back on your life in fifty years and wishing things would've been different. I want you to look at me and see the love of your life. I want you to look back and smile."

"Meems, I will."

"No, Shawn, you won't. Sooner or later, you'll regret everything, and then, you'll start to resent me. I don't want it to come to that. We should have never gotten married. I should have never kept something from you. I should never have thought I could capture your heart."

"What are you talking about now? I would never resent you. I love you! You have my heart meems."

"Not your whole heart. I never will."

"Mimi…"

"But I love you Shawn. I want you to be happy. I want you to be with her," Mimi said, tears streaming down her face. "And I know how to accomplish that."

"What the hell?"

"We need to go and find Belle and Philip. I have to tell you all something."

"Belle, Philip. We need to talk to you," Mimi said, causing the couple to turn around.

"Mimi, I'm so sorry for what he said. I'm sure he didn't mean it-"

"It's okay Belle. I know he meant it."

"So you are still in love with my wife!" Philip said.

"Philip. It doesn't matter. Mimi and Shawn are married and you and I are married. We're all completely devoted."

"Belle, Shawn and I are getting a divorce."
"We are?" Shawn asked.

"Yes. I don't want to come second. I've always been second best to Belle. I was hoping this would be the first time I would come in first."

"Mimi, that's not-"

"Do you love her?" Mimi interrupted.

"Mimi-"

"No, I want to hear you say it. Tell me you don't love her and I'll stop all this."

"I don't love her," Shawn said, looking at the ground.

"Look me in the eyes and tell me you don't love her."

"Mimi, I don't. I don't love….I can't."

"See. You do love her."

"You son of a bitch!" Philip yelled.

"Philip! Just because he still has feelings for me doesn't mean anything. I'm completely devoted to you and our child. We're married."

"Belle, I know as well as everyone else that you settle for Philip. Shawn didn't want you when he came back because of Jan. He told you he still wanted to be with you when you were engaged to Philip. You were pregnant. That's the only reason you stayed with him. You were going to leave him for Shawn. You still love him too."

"Is that true Belle? Did you just settle for me? Do you still love Shawn?" Philip asked.

"There will always be feelings for him, Philip. He was my first love. But he's married to my best friend. And I'm married to you. Nothing will change the fact that I took my vows to you. I'll be with you forever. I love you."

"Philip, you know she loves him too," Mimi said, tears still streaming down her face. "And if you love her as much as I love Shawn, you'll want her to be happy and never regret who she married. I think they should be together."

"If you want to give up on Shawn, that's your choice but I will never give up on Belle. I love her more than life itself. You and Shawn have only been married for a couple of weeks. Belle and I have been married for almost a year and we have a baby girl together. We have bonds that are hard to break. If you and Shawn had a child together you'd know what I'm talking about. Our baby-"

"Isn't yours," Mimi interrupted.

"What?" Belle, Shawn, and Philip said together.

"Shawn, I told you I knew a way to get you two together again. I saw the paternity test given when Claire was sick. She's Shawn's baby."

"But how?" Belle said. "I never slept with Shawn. Philip was my first-"

"No, we did sleep together, Belle."

"What? When? Why don't I remember?" Belle asked frantically.

"When we were stranded in the cold. We went to a barn and started a fire but we still couldn't get warm enough. We took our clothes off to try and use our body heat to keep us warm. We made love that night. I didn't remember it until later and that was after you had amnesia. But Claire can't be mine."

"You slept with my wife and never told me!"

"I didn't remember fully until after you were married. Whatever I did remember before that only came in flashes, and it seemed like a dream to me. It was until I remembered the whole night did I realize it was more than a dream. I didn't see a reason to tell you because you were already married and I was engaged to Mimi." Shawn said.

"So Claire's not my child?" Philip asked Mimi.

"No."

"Why didn't you say something sooner?"

"Because I wanted to marry Shawn. I thought that if he had no ties to Belle, I could convince him I was the one he wanted for the rest of his life."

"This can't be true…" Belle said.

"I can prove it Belle."

"How?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Kiriakis? I have the results to your fertility tests," Dr. Prompts said. "Would you mind stepping into my office to talk them over?"

"Tell us right here, Dr. We have nothing to hide," Philip said.

"Well, Belle, you are completely capable of baring and having children. But Philip, your tests shocked and mystified me."

"Why? What'd you come up with Dr."

"Are you sure you wouldn't like to take this somewhere private?" the Dr. asked.

"No, I want to know right now, right here. What did my test results say?"

"Well, I don't know how to tell you this sir, but my test results showed that you are sterile. What mystifies me, though, is how you were able to father Claire considering most if not all men who are sterile have always been sterile."

"Doctor, can you access the paternity test of Claire?" Philip asked.

"Why, was there one done?"

"Yes. When Zach Brady was in here, they did many tests to see if his organs were a match to Claire's and a paternity test was ran. I saw it myself," Mimi said.

"Well, if you would come into my office, I can access the files on my computer," Dr. Prompts said, walking into her office with the four in tow.

After a few minutes of looking, the Doctor looked up at the four people standing in front of her desk.

"I don't know how to tell you this," Dr. Prompts said.

"Tell us what?" Belle asked nervously.

"This test shows me that Claire's father is…"

"Who's the father!" Philip almost screamed.

"Shawn-Douglas Brady."
