~Chapter 2~
Dear Chloe,
It's Belle. I got you letter. And I'm really happy to hear from you. You are right it defiantly has been excessively long since last we saw each other and I hate that. I am sorry to have heard about you and Philip breaking up. I always thought yall were a happy and cute couple but I guess even the best of people can have problems. I know you had to leave the mansion for good reasons that were probably very reasonable. I guess one day you will tell me what they were. In addition, my life I guess is what every one expected it to be. I am a stay at home wife and mother. I have two children each a year a part. Everything I do is at the same time it was yesterday. If it is not planned then I do not do it and I even have to prepare time to see my husband. I know you do not have to do that and for that, I envy you. I know my brother has probably kept your life full of adventure and surprise. That is just how he is. Shawn use to be that way but he lost it when he took the badge and gave me the ring. I wish some times that I could get the Shawn I fell in love with back but that won't happen. When I use to dream about my life with him, I expected him to be the type of guy to come home and have roses for me for no reason other that the fact that he loved me. Too bad dreams cannot come true. Well I cannot wait to here from you. I have to go now. Shawn should be home by now and if I am even a minute late he will be worried. WBASAP
Love
Belle
P.S. BFF
Belle was walking in the through the door with tons of bags of food in her arms. She was about to drop everything when Shawn came running in. "Let me help you with that." He grabbed one of the bags and gave her a kiss on the lips. They walked into the kitchen and put the things down. "So where is Trey and Cassie?" Shawn smiled. "It's nice to see you too, dear." She smiled. "It's nice to see you, Shawn you know that. Now where is our son and daughter?" He smiled. "He's at your brother's" "And why is he at my brother's?" "Because I have a job and can't sit at home and watch him. That's why." "Are you trying to say that I should have a job again?" she said annoyed. "No, not at all. Belle, you know that is not what I meant. You know I am fine with you staying at home. We have been though this. I love the fact that the kids have you at home since I'm usually working." She smiled even thought she knew that he did not mean it. She changed the subject. "So when should we pick up the kids?" He sat down leaving her with all the groceries to put away. "Same time as you always do." She was exhausted and wanted to get him to go pick them up but knew it was pointless. Shawn was off duty and he thought that this meant that he did not have to do any work. "I guess I'm going to go pick up the kids please put up the groceries for me." She knew he was not going to do it and he was not going to tell her that because then he could act like he did not hear her. When she got into the car, she started to cry for all of her dreams that had never happened.
Sami walked into her apartment and saw her husband sleeping on the couch with their baby son. She smiled and walked over and picked up Ricky. She went to go put him back in the crib. She was startled when she saw Austin smiled at her in the doorway. "Why are you here?" "Just thought I watch you with our son. Yall are so sweet together you know that " He smiled and walked over to here and grabbed her around the waist and kissed her. When they finally parted, he led her into the living room. "Sami, I'm so glad for all those years you fought for me you know that." She smiled. He had never told her that before and it made her happy to hear it. She smiled. He tried to pull her into the bedroom but she made the mistake of looking at the couch where she saw Brandon laying there and she looked back and Austin was gone. She looked around and saw the pictures of her and Brandon and then looked at her wedding ring and remembered she was married to him. She sighed and uttered these words; "I never should have given up you, Austin." As she said those words and turned around to go check on their son Ricky, Brandon sat up, watched her walk away he said. "You're not the one who gave up he did and I'm not going to give up on you yet Samantha."
