Chapter 2

Author: Shari Weller

Chloe looks into Brady's eyes wondering what's on his mind.

"Brady" Chloe replied. "I know something's bothering you? What is it?"

"Oh. Ahh nothing" he answered. "I just have a lot on my mind."

John and Marlena are sitting in the kitchen having coffee. "I wonder what's wrong with Belle?" Marlena asked John across the table. "I'm not sure, but something must be bothering her, since she couldn't keep her mind on her studies" he replied.

"I wonder if she is still thinking of what Shawn told her about being the father of Jan's baby?" Marlena asked. "Must be" John answered in reply, "Who knows?"

Meanwhile, instead of going home, Belle decided to pay Mimi a visit. "Ok Meems" Belle quipped. "something's up, and I'd like to at least know what it is."

"Ohh nothing's going on Belle just relax" Mimi said.

Well, Belle thought to herself, I'll still keep asking until somebody tells me what is up, and what it has to do with me and Shawn.

Meanwhile over at the Brady house, Shawn and Jan sit on the living room couch talking. "Shawn" Jan says, "I really don't see the point in having me live here anymore, since I lost the baby"

"You are still welcome to live here as long as you like."replied Shawn Jan just sat there in thought.

Just before school began that following Monday morning, Belle and Mimi were walking together towards the building.

Belle tried to avoid Shawn, but it was so hard to do. Shawn desperately wanted to talk to her, but Belle just didn't want to hear another word from him.

"Belle" Meems asked "what's the rush?"

"I just need to get away for a few minutes, Mimi" she said.

With that, Belle just walked a little faster away from the school building.
