Few Days Later

Sawyer and Hazel got everything ready, Sandra, Kyle and Sarah were coming over tonight. They prepared Italian food for dinner and Shawl was helping out with the plans. Shawl always went to his parents for advice on how to handle relationships, since he was too young for this kind of thing. Sawyer told him just to be himself. Abigail looked as cute as ever in her little pink outfit, Sawyer and Hazel had bought it for her. Shawl quietly admitted that he felt a little jealous of his parents devoting their time to their daughter but he knew that she was only a baby. He had wanted to be introduced as the older brother and the one who would protect her from school bullies in the future. Shawl's train of thought came to a halt when the doorbell rang.

"Oh they're here!" Sawyer said. Hazel and Shawl stood behind him as he welcome his cousin and Sandra and Sarah into the house. Hazel shook hands with them and the adults led each other to the kitchen leaving Shawl and Sarah together. "So….you wanna come hang upstairs?" asked Shawl. Sarah squealed excitedly to herself before slapping herself in the face to stop. Luckily Shawl had never noticed as they walked upstairs.

While they were upstairs Shawl led her to the attic which served as a little hangout for Shawl. It contained a TV, a couch and some of his favorite things like his game console and his toy figures. Sarah looked in amazing at his amazing hangout. It looked like she was definitely going to have fun tonight. They lay down on the couch together watching Disney movies and laughing together.

"Sarah really likes Shawl. She talks about him nearly every day. I think they could be very great friends." Kyle and Sandra said to Sawyer and Hazel. "Oh Really?" Hazel asked "Yeah sure Shawl like the only boy who has never given her a hard time. Most of the others at school always give her a hard time and she's had trouble making friends at school every now and then." Kyle said. "Yeah Shawl is like a real genuine nice kid. He never gets in trouble, never lies or anything" Sawyer said. "I wonder if Sarah could actually even be in love at such a young age, like" Sandra said. "I always thought that Shawl would be too young for girls. He seems content though with this friendship he has, almost as if, he….doesn't know that Sarah has a crush on him" Hazel said.

True to her words, Shawl didn't know Sarah's feelings for him were that strong. He simply looked at her as a friend. However while he was watching his favorite movie, Sarah saw how engrossed he was and took a risk. She leaned right over and kissed him on his cheek. Shawl could only blush and get caught off guard blushing his cheeks off. He turned slowly to Sarah who dreamily lay her head on his shoulder. He smiled a little not able to speak or do anything.

Hazel then decided to get Abigail and bring her out to show Kyle and Sandra. Abigail was sleeping in her crib for the evening. She slowly walked into the room and carried her out and then made her way to the living room where Kyle, Sandra and Sawyer were waiting. Shawl and Sarah went down as well but Hazel told them to go ahead because she wanted to surprise everyone. Shawl watched as they all waited in the living room. "Awh would ya look at, ah that is a darling" Sandra said with her arms out as Hazel entered the room with Abigail in her arms. They all crowded around Hazel to look at Abigail while Shawl just chatted quietly with Kyle. "So how's life goin?" He asked quietly to Kyle who was sitting on the sofa next to Shawl. "Yeah it's real grand!" Kyle said grinning. "Cool!" Shawl responded.

Later that night after dinner, Kyle, Sandra, Sawyer and Hazel were downstairs watching TV while Shawl and Sarah hung out together in Shawl's attic. Sarah awkwardly asked "Did I startled you with that kiss?" "Uh no, no not at all." Shawl said trying to keep as cool as possible with it. "I really like you Shawl. You're so cute that I just can't resist your good looks and sweet personality." Sarah said blushing slightly as she said this. "Oh really?" Shawl asked "I think you're awesome too. I like you too.' He said. Sarah was so overjoyed with what she heard that she wrapped her arms around in a tight embrace and he hugged back. Sarah felt her own tears of joy as she lay in her dream boy's arms.

The Next day

Sawyer and Hazel went to work leaving Shawl and Abigail with Lorraine. Sawyer thought that the get-together with Kyle and Sandra worked perfectly and was happy that they got to spend quality time together.

Shawl actually realised that he was in fact in love with Sarah and he could feel a sense of happiness in himself as he watch TV at his grandma's house. He wondered when he would get to see Sarah again.

Meanwhile Sawyer and his team went to work with the bottlenose dolphin that was found in the beach about a week or two ago. They named him "Jack". Jack was getting better and his sunburn was healing with great success. The gang had predicted that within a week he would be returned to the ocean.

Shawl loved hanging with his baby sister. He helped Lorraine feed, change and put Abigail to sleep. Although at times he did feel a little bit jealous of his parents devoting their time to their little girl, he always wanted to help out too!

I'll leave it there guys, read and review!
