Drama, drama, drama! You'll love it though, I promise. Even though it'll frustrate the hell out of you.
Terri Johnson had been planning this trip ever since Shawn had made the big move from Des Moines to L.A. But after almost 3 months, Shawn had grown distant. Terri hoped to surprise her daughter, so when she got to Shawn's apartment she frowned when she realized she wasn't there. After doing some cleaning up, she made dinner and relaxed on the couch and kicked her feet up.
after about an hour of watching T.v., she got a headache. She tried to ignore it, but the pulsing pain put pressure on her head and she couldn't' handle it any more. sighing, she got up from the couch and walked over to the bathroom and opened the mirrored cabinet above the sink. After looking around, she saw a bottle of what looked to be vitamins. She turned the bottle until she saw the label. "Prenatal vitamins?" She was a little confused at first, then she read it again. "Oh. My God…"
She heard someone in the living room so she grabbed the bottle and left the bathroom. She walked with her hands behind her back and went toward the living room. "Shawn?"
Shawn froze by the couch and she immediately wanted to evaporate into thin air. "Mom what are you doing here?"
"I came to see you," Terri walked around the back of the couch and sat down. She pulled the prenatal vitamin bottle from behind her back and placed it on the coffee table, "When were you planning on telling us?"
Shawn's mouth fell open. She had no idea what to say and she couldnt look her mom in the eye, "I—I can explain."
Derek and Mark sat in the living room skimming through channels when they stopped on the newest addition of TMZ. A photo of Shawn in her floral dress flashed across the screen and her belly was circled in all the pictures, highlighting her suspected pregnancy.
"Olympic gold medalist, Shawn johnson and DWts All-Star champion, Melissa Rycroft were spotted eating lunch together at the Cheesecake Factory at the Grove yesterday afternoon." As the voice came through the t.v Derek noticeably winced and Mark watched him curiously. The voice of Harvey Levin continued through the T.V, "Well Derek Hough and a guest showed up, and they seemed to sit together briefly before Shawn stormed off. And many eyewitnesses report that she was in tears."
Mark stared at Derek, wondering why he wasn't told that Derek and Shawn had seen each other. He opened his mouth to ask for an explanation but he closed his mouth when Harvey's voice continued through the T.V. "we were also told, by an informant, that Shawn is pregnant…..with a little Hough baby.." Derek quickly changed the channel, but it was too late, Mark had heard everything.
"Please… Please tell me that I didnt hear any of that." Mark almost begged for Derek to lie to him. But that wasn't what he got. Derek looked up at him and he looked to like he was struggling with the honest truth. mark sat down next to him, and they sat in silence. After the awkwardness died down, Mark decided to kill the silence, "is it true?"
"Y-yeah." Derek inhaled deeply and held it, trying to stop himself from breaking down. Yesterday, when he got home, he couldn't believe what Shawn told him. He and Sarah didn't speak and when she finally left him alone, he went to his room and sat on his bed with his hands over his face. He sat there for hours, hoping and praying that he was dreaming and when he opened his eyes Shawn and him would be close friends again. that didn't happen.: "I honestly have no idea what to do."
"How did this even happen?" Mark didn't even know that they had slept together.
"I think you can imagine how it happe-" He was cut off when Mark lifted his hand and signalled for him to stop.
"I don't need to know… I don't need the visuals." His face scrunched up with disgust and he shook his head. The room fell silent again and Mark sat there, trying to process all the information he had just heard "did harvey say informant?"
"Yeah." Derek's shoulders slouched and he tried to think of who could possibly betray his privacy like that. Mark scratched the back of his neck and then he thought of someone who would do something like that. Derek got the same thought and they shared a look, "You don't think she would do something like that, do you?"
"I don't know. Do you?" Mark raised an eyebrow and crossed his arm, "I mean, Melissa and Shawn are like best friends… She wouldn't do that to Shawn." Mark shook the thought away and then someone else popped into his head, If it wasn't Melissa, that left only one other person… Sarah.
"Well, who else would- No! Sarah wouldn't do that to me… She couldn't" Derek shook his head frantically..
"You may not want to believe it Derek, but you know that she can't stand Shawn. Ever since that Rumba, you started looking at Shawn the way you used to look at her."
"So now this is my fault?" Derek glared at Mark as his voice raised in volume.
"Well Der, it kinda is." Mark said sofly and Derek scoffed, "Im not saying it was intentional. I'm just telling you that you have to take responsibility for your own actions. and start sorting out the bullshit in your life." Mark got up and walked over to the door. Before he walked out, he looked at Derek, "This is between you and Shawn. So call her and fix it."
"Mom, please just hear me out." Shawn pleaded as her mom paced back and forth in the living room. She was rambling and yelling at the air.
"What did I do to deserve this? we tried to raise you to be an independent, intelligent young woman who didn't need anyone to tell you what to do!" Terri threw her hands up in the air and stared at her daughter, "How could you let this happen?"
"You think I wanted this to happen?!" Shawn shot up from the couch and yelled incredibly loud. "Do you think this is how I pictured starting my family? No it's not! God, mom! not everything is about you!" she sank back onto the couch and started to sob. Terri was too upset to try and comfort her, so she stormed off to the the guest bedroom. Leaving Shawn to sit alone and cry to herself.
Shawn felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. wiping the tears from her eyes and got her phone from her front pocket. Unlocking the screen and opening her inbox, she saw an unread text from an unknown number. Reading the text message, she thought, "What the hell?"
"Reality bites, doesn't it?"
