Bret held on to Shawn tight and buried his head into Shawn's neck and smelled his scent and then kissed his neck. He didn't want to let Shawn go. He was afraid that if he did something would happen to Shawn again.
"How did you find me?" Shawn asked.
Bret lifted his head. "I found your note…well Alex found your note."
"Alex?"
Bret reluctantly let go of Shawn and turned around. "Alex." Alex ran up to Shawn and Bret.
"This is Private Alex Riley." Bret introduced him to Shawn. "He found you're note."
"You did?" Shawn questioned.
"Yes sir."
Shawn pulled Alex into his embrace and gave him a big hug. Alex was shocked at first. he didn't know how to react to this but then shook off his shock and hugged Shawn back. Bret watched as Shawn hugged Alex. He didn't feel a bit of jealousy.
"Thank you so much." Shawn said. "If you ever need anything, you let me know."
"Your welcome…and thank you." Alex said. Shawn looked past Alex and pulled away from him.
"Brian, Hunter, Jack." Shawn went over to them and hugged all of them. Shawn looked at Brian's arm in the white plaster cast. "What happened to your arm."
Brian shook his head. "That's a whole other story for a different time. How are you and where the hell is Sunny?" Brian asked. He wanted a piece of that bitch.
"I don't know. She comes periodically. I don't know when she'll be back." Shawn answered. Bret came up behind him and wrapped his arms around his waist.
"Well, we'll be here when she comes back." Bret said.
"I think I can have her here sometime today." Hunter said and grabbed his cellphone.
"Good." Bret said. "Alex." Alex ran over to him. "Have the guys back up into the woods so if Sunny or one of her guys come over they won't be scared off."
"Yes sir." Alex answered and ran off to give orders.
"Come on." Shawn said and broke away from Bret. "Let's go inside and I'll tell you guys everything." Shawn said and led them into the house and into the living room.
Once inside the living room, Shawn ran over to the table and picked up the ultrasound picture and put it in his pocket. He would tell them about that in a minute.
Bret and Shawn sat on the long couch while Jack sat in the chair and Brian and Hunter sat on the love seat.
"What happened?" Brian inquired and everyone lend towards Shawn, wanting and answer. Shawn took a deep breath.
"After the lights went out at Stephanie's party, someone put a cloth over my nose and another hand wrapped around my neck so I couldn't scream and another set of hands wrapped around my upper body so I couldn't grab you." Shawn says, referring to Bret. "After that everything went black. When I did wake up, I was in a room with video cameras and two other men named Drew and Sheamus. Drew is a doctor and… well, I don't know what Sheamus does but he and Drew are a couple. Anyway a few hours later, Sunny came in and told me about how Stephanie was crying and Bret was upset and how she was going to make Bret fall in love with her."
Bret scoffed. Shawn looked over at Bret. "That's what I said but then she ripped my earring out and proceeded to fake my death and then I ended up here." Bret put his arm around Shawn and Shawn snuggled into him before starting to speak again. "She told me I was going to live the rest of my days out here…so I became physically sick, so sick that I threw up all over her."
"Nice." Jack commented.
"I wish I would have been there to see her face." Brian said as he chuckled.
Shawn laughed. "It was pretty funny but she called Drew and told him to come over and check me out. Surprisingly, she was really worried about my well being. She didn't want me to become sick and die."
"Shocked she had a heart." Hunter says and Brian agrees.
"So, what was wrong with you?" Bret asked, worried.
Shawn smiled and reached down into his pocket and pulled out the ultrasound picture and gave it to Bret. Bret accepted it and flipped it over so he could see the picture. He stared at it for a little while, not saying a word.
"Bret?" Shawn said.
"How far along?"
"Ten weeks."
Bret thought back to ten weeks ago. "The night in the hospital." Shawn nodded.
"Let me see." Brian got up and snatched the picture out of Bret's hand. He wanted to know what was going on. Bret didn't say anything, he just laid his hand on top of Shawn's stomach.
Brian looked at the picture. "Aww." He cooed. "Look Jack, it looks just like Shawn." Jack got up and looked over Brian's shoulder.
"Yep, it's small just like him."
"Shut up, not all of us can be freakishly big." Shawn said and Jack and Brian laughed.
"Looks like we're not the only ones with a baby one the way." Hunter says and Shawn looks up at Brian.
"You're pregnant too?" Shawn asked and Brian nodded. "It just like what we talked about."
"Yeah." Brian said. "But I really wish Sunny would come over. I want to bash her head in."
"Violent much?" Jack said.
Hunter jumped in surprise when he felt his phone go off in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw he had received a text from Stephanie. "I can make your wish come true."
Stephanie was sitting at the table eating breakfast with her sister. She had her phone on top of the table, waiting for Hunter to call. It was almost ten o'clock and no one had said anything to her. She was starting to get worried. Was Shawn OK? Had Sunny done something to him.
"You expecting a call?"
"Huh?" Stephanie looked up at Sunny.
"You keep looking at your phone. Are you expecting a call?" Sunny asked again.
"Um, yeah. Dave is supposed to be calling me about the flowers for the wedding." Stephanie lied. "But he hasn't."
"Hmm, he might have forgotten. You should text him and see if he went or not." Sunny suggested.
"You're right. I'll text him." Stephanie picked up her phone and text Hunter.
Where are you? What's going on? Is Shawn OK? Do I need to keep Sunny here or Can I get here to leave?
Stephanie pressed the send button and put her phone face down on the table.
"He probably forgot. You know men." Sunny said and Stephanie giggled.
"Yeah, men." Stephanie's phone buzzed and she picked it up and opened the text.
Yeah, everyone is fine. Sunny can leave now, we've got the place surrounded.
"So, what happen?" Sunny asked as she put her plate in the sink.
"Dave forgot, like you said. He's going over there now." Stephanie went over to her sister's side.
"So, you going to see your boyfriend today?" Stephanie asked.
"I don't know." Sunny said as she started to wash the dishes.
"I think you should so you're sitting around here and lonely." Stephanie says. "Because Dave is suppose to take me out after he does the thing with the flowers."
"Yeah, I guess I'll go over there." Sunny said and smiled. She needed to go visit Shawn. She hadn't tormented him enough. "Yeah, I'll go."
"Great!" Stephanie cleared her throat and settled down. "Um, I mean good. I'm so happy you're moving on from Bret."
Stephanie and Sunny finished washing the dishes and Sunny grabbed her purse. "I'll be back later."
"OK, bye." Stephanie yelled and Sunny walked out the door. Stephanie pulled out her phone and texted Hunter.
She's on her way!
A few minutes later, Hunter sent a text back.
Thanks. I owe you so much!
"No, I owe you."
It was night time when Sunny arrived at her little cottage that held her prisoner. Sunny grabbed a bag and her purse and got out of her car. She locked her door and went up to the house.
She put the key in the lock and unlocked the door and stepped into the house. She closed the door behind her as she called out Shawn's name.
Shawn, I'm home!"
Sunny walked towards the living room. "You're not going to believe what I found for the baby."
Sunny walked into the living room and dropped the bag on the floor in surprise. She looked around and saw Hunter and Brian sitting together, a blond and a brunette that she didn't know, and Shawn sitting next to…Bret.
"What did you get my baby Sunny?" Bret asked. "I would love to see it."
