Chapter Seven ~ The Nightmare
"NO!" Belle screamed, waking up in a cold sweat.
"Belle, honey, it's okay. I'm right here," Shawn said taking Belle into his arms and holding her close.
"Shawn," Belle breathed, calming down. "I had this awful nightmare," she began, crying.
"Sh... It's okay, baby. Everyone's fine," Shawn said, smoothing her hair.
"Shawn, it was awful. I dreamt that I had a miscarriage again," Belle said as the tears began to fall harder.
"It's okay. The baby's just fine," Shawn said placing his hand on Belle's stomach. She was now seven months along. "I think she may be the reason you haven't been sleeping good lately. She's gonna be a feisty one," Shawn smiled.
"Yeah, you're definitely right," Belle smiled.

Okay, this is where I have to tell you that the whole miscarriage thing was a dream or better yet, a nightmare. Everything except for the last part of Ch. 5 and Ch. 6 has happened. Now back to the story.

"Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!" David screamed as he rushed into Philip and Mimi's bedroom and ran over to Mimi.
"What is it, baby?" Mimi said instantly waking up.
"There's monsters in my room," he said crying.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, baby. I forgot to tell them to stay away from my baby, didn't I?"
David simply nodded and looked at his mother with a puppy dog face.
"Here, you get in the bed right between Mommy and Daddy," Mimi said, hugging her son.
"But I can't climb that far."
Mimi slowly rose with her seven month pregnant stomach to allow David to climb into the bed. He immediately fell asleep, laying sideways across the bed with his head on Philip's shoulder. Knowing that there was no way that her and the babies inside her would fit into the bed, Mimi made her way to the living room and laid down on the couch.

Chloe awoke to find a small hand on her cheek. She slowly rolled over and discovered that at some point in the night, both Jessica and Josh had been put into the bed between her and Brady. She smiled as she watched Josh shift in his sleep and grab hold of his trusty brown teddy bear. She focused her eyes and realized that Brady wasn't on the other side of the bed. Looking at the chair beside the window, Chloe saw a husky figure laying in what seemed to be the most uncomfortable position. She slowly raised from the bed, as if not to wake the children and tiptoed over to the figure and kissed his stubbled cheek. He shifted and pulled her onto his lap.
"Good morning, beautiful," Brady said as he kissed her.
"Good morning to you too," Chloe said, smiling. "I take it you weren't asleep."
"You're right. I've been sitting here watching you sleep for the past half hour."
"Come get in the bed. It's only four o'clock."
"In case you haven't noticed, we have two sleeping children taking up our whole bed," Brady said pointing to the two figures on the bed. Sure enough they had spread out after Chloe had got up and were now sleeping diagonally across the bed.
"Well, we'll go to the guest bedroom," Chloe yawned.
"Come on," Brady said picking her up and carrying her out of the room and down the hall to the guest bedroom.
As soon as her head hit the pillow, Chloe was out, and Brady couldn't stay up much longer because within fifteen minutes he was sound asleep with his arm wrapped around Chloe and his hand on the mound that was their unborn child.

I know this is really short, and it's mostly just a filler and to tell you that it was all a dream. Hope you liked it a lot better than the last chapter!!! LOL!!! Please review!!!!
