Reality Sets In Ch. 4

Shawn gaze flew to her hand where she was indeed wearing a ring, and then to his where an identical ring sat.
" Oh my god." The only word was shock; Hope was in shock, when she suggested that they get Shawn and Chloe for breakfast she never imagined that she would find this. Chloe coming out of Shawn's room in only a sheet was surprising, but the matching wedding bands left her in shock.
" YOU'RE A DEAD MAN."
Bo stepped in between his son and Jack, and pushed the other back. " Calm down Jack, let's talk about this like adults."
" I should get dressed." Shawn readjusted the sheet and looked for his suitcase, he saw the clothes he wore last night, but there was no way he was asking his cousin Jennifer to past him boxers from behind her. " I'll be back." Shawn practically ran to the bathroom only pausing to get his clothes.
Jennifer turned back to the door, and notice that Chloe was pale and still not dresses." Chloe maybe you should get dressed too."
" Yeah." Chloe walked back to her room, and shut the door letting her body fall to the floor. This was worse then she anything else that had happened to her, the cancer, losing the dream of Julliard, Brady dumping her. No this was worse, because the other things had been out of her control, but this was all her fault. This could cost her Shawn, and she would have been the one responsible for it all.
" Damn inhibitions." Chloe wiped the lone tear from her face as she went to the bathroom to dress.
The situation when she returned was tense to say the least Jack was pacing Shawn's room, stopping every once in a while to glare at the door, and shaking his head. Jennifer sat by the window glancing around the room, but not speaking to anyone, while Bo and Hope spoke in hushed tones.
Shawn was entering the room just as she was and stopped to give her a shy smile. " Good morning Lanie, feeling better?"
"Yeah you?"
" A little better."
" Well I'm so glad you feel better after VILOATING MY SISTER." Jack felt as though he was in some horrible dream, but it seemed too strange not to be real. Just this morning Jennifer had been suggesting that Chloe and Shawn start dating but it was ridiculous, they were friends, buddies, confidants, but they weren't anything more, at least then better not be. Jack had never really hit a man, but Shawn seemed as good a person as any to be the first.
"Jack stop it." Chloe pushed her brother back and glared. " Can we stay calm, for all we know it's just a joke."
" No, it's not." The group looked a Bo who was holding a piece of paper up for all to see. " Here's the marriage license."
"You're dead." Jack started to advance upon Shawn, when he eyes widens and he gave a chilling smile." Nancy is going to destroy you."
Chloe stepped in to intervene when he words got through the cloud around her brain, and she turned to Shawn with dread and nodded." He's right."
Shawn paled and took a shaky step back, before falling onto the bed. " Oh my."
Hope sat down by her son, and rubbed his shoulders." Shawn everything is going to be okay."
" How, Nancy Wesley will kill me." Shawn had been there when Chloe told her parents about her break up with Brady, and it took and hour and a half before they could get the irate women to promise not to kill Brady for breaking her daughter's heart. He didn't want to know what happened to the guy that got her daughter drunk and then married her.
" No she won't you're adults, you just made a mistake." Hope looked to Chloe to agree, but was sadly mistaken.
The brunette shook her head, an shrugged her arms." Actually, I'm going to play the 'abandoned as a child card', and save myself from death." " You and Jack are on your own."
"ME?" Jack asked with confusion. " What did I do?"
Chloe gave her brother and pitying look. " I quote' she will return to you just as she left', you're going get blamed."
Jack covered his mouth to keep the wail of terror from escaping and fell down next Shawn, now just as sacred as younger man was.
"Everyone remain calm." Bo stood in the center of the room, using his best cop voice to regain everyone attention." Now first things first, do you guys want to remain married?"
"NO!" Shawn and Chloe said simultaneously, and then looked quickly at each other.
Shawn tried not to look offended. " I won't be mad, if you're not."
" Shawn we got drunk and married, how could I be mad at you."
" Okay good, now since you were both inebriated you can get an annulment." Bo gave a definite nod glad that the situation was under control. " Now since we're the only people that know about it, and we don't want anyone hurt by Chloe's mom, we'll keep our little secret."
"Yes" Jack jumped form the bed and started pacing. " If no one knows then Nancy can't hurt anyone, and I'm in the clear." "Perfect, it's absolutely perfect."
"Jack sit down." Jennifer pushed her fiancé back on the bed.
" When can we get this annulment?" Shawn could tell how anxious Chloe was for it, she had already ripped the ring of her finger, and he was sure her plans were to throw in the first trashcan she saw. The sudden thought that she was so quick to end the union hurt a little, but he pushed the thought away, he was just being overly sensitive to rejection.
"Today, right now is good for me." Chloe headed for the door only to be stopped by Jennifer's whine." What?"
"Your dress fitting is in fifteen minutes, then we're getting things ready for the wedding all day."
" Fine, then we'll get the day after your wedding, before we head back." Chloe smiled at the nods, and turned to open the door and came face to face with her nightmare.
