Reality Sets In Ch. 12
I disclaim.
Back in Salem word of the second set of newly weds spread like wild fire. Though no one knew quite how to handle it, The town was split
There were people in town that truly believed that Chloe belonged with Brady, just like Shawn belonged with Belle, and saw this as only another obstacle to keep them from the double wedding of the century. They felt that the current relationships were rebound situations, and so were completely opposed to entire Shawn/Chloe union.
The other townspeople felt that the Black siblings were being callous and stuck up. Shawn and Chloe good people from good middle class homes, being taken advantage of because their lack of money. Belle was the perfect example leaving wholesome Shawn for his more obnoxious and richer friend Philip Kirikias. They liked the idea of Shawn and Chloe together, they thought them more suited for one another, and wished the young couple best.
Of course no matter what side they agreed with, no one voiced they're opinions, it seemed too dangerous. Dr. Wesley was walking around town yelling and snapping people's head's off, not at all happy with the Vegas wedding. Brady Black was just as bad, his ex-girlfriends wedding on top if his new girlfriend dumping had turned the Basic Black executive into the same angry young man he was when he first arrived. The Bradys and Hortons seem to be handling it the best; they were quiet and didn't mention the newlyweds, except to say that they were fine.
As speculation continued to spread about the deaths about the newest marriage, people also began to wonder about their location, not knowing that they were closer then they seemed.
" Horton Cabin." Chloe turned and looked at the man grinning sheepishly beside her. " This is where we lye low, a cabin that half the town has access to."
" Not half the town, just Hortons." Shawn removed their bags and head for the door, but stopped when Chloe didn't follow.
" I know for a fact that your grandmother hands that key out to anyone she likes, which is half the town."
"Well, she won't be lending out anytime soon, she knows we're here." He motioned for her to join him, but she remained on the dock." What now?"
"Your grandmother knows and she can tell other people, my parents could be on their way here this very moment."
" They're not, she promised secrecy, and she said to tell you hi." " Now come on."
Chloe reluctantly followed him, she didn't want Mrs. Horton telling her hi, she was sure that family matriarch was embarrassed by the whole even and ashamed of them both, her more then Shawn. Thinking about Gram got her thinking about Bo and Hope, then Craig and Nancy, and lord knows she knew they were angry enough.
That got her stared on why they were angry, that lead to her wedding, which lead to her wedding night, and then to making love to Shawn, which would got her confused. It was only natural that she was confused after all she and Shawn had spent the entire night making love, and he had spent the whole car trip touching her and giving her that sexy smile. She didn't mind, she just didn't know what was going on, and she hated not knowing.
So immersed in her thoughts she didn't notice that Shawn stopped until she bumped into him. " Ow, you stopped."
Shawn grinned at her confused expression. " Yes, I did."
" Why?" Chloe looked past him, and looked into the room, looked even more confused. The room looked fine so she couldn't understand why he stopped until she looked at the twinkle in his eye." Shawn…"
" Lanie." Shawn gave a sinister laugh and then grabbed her. He swung her into her arms and lifted her over the threshold. " Welcome to Horton Cabin, Mrs. Brady."

" Dad, I need the a favor." Brady barged into his father's office not caring if he was busy.
John Black looked up and smiled Brady seemed to be almost back to his old self, he was bright eyed, and had the look of a man on a mission." If I can of course."
" I need the number of your PI." He said as he said down in the chair across form his father, determination written clearly on his face.
" My PI, may I ask what for?"
" I'm going to have him search for Chloe." The thought had been prominent in his mind since Taylor broke up with him, he had searched little on his own, but he couldn't really talk to her family. The Wesley's hated him, and Jack wanted him dead.
The smile dropped of John's face." Brady that is not a good idea, for several reasons." " One Chloe and SHAWN went away together, and asked that they not be looked for, Two you're no longer someone that Chloe wants in her life as a protector, Three if someone going to look for her, it should be their family."
" Dad I'm doing this, Chloe is..."
" Chloe is married to Shawn, whether or not she decided to stay married or not, for now she is another man's wife, and you need to deal with it."
"I'm not dealing with it, Chloe loves me, she had always loved me, and this is just a mistake." Brady got up and began pacing, he never should have broken up with her, and pushed Shawn to help her. " I love her."
" Son if you still love her then I gotta ask why you ended things?"
"You know why."
John raised his eyebrow and stood up." You're not telling me you ended things because of that."
" Tell me that you didn't break up with her of Tony Dimera."
