Chapter 18

Shawn: I was stupid plain and simple. But I love Belle. She went away on a trip and I didn't think she was coming back. I should have only waited.

Anna: And you should have never played me for a fool. You will regret the day you left me, Shawn.

Salem Place

Chloe: What about this baby crib? Isn't is cute?

Brady: Yeah it is. How much is it?

Chloe: It doesn't matter. I'm putting all of this on Craig's credit card. He gave me permission.

Brady: We have gotten so much for Zariana. We should buy a gift for Landon.

Chloe: Yeah and we should buy something for Belle. I mean she is so sad and depressed.

Brady: She has been depressed since she found out she was pregnant. She suffered so much through her pregnancy only to have Shawn treat her like crap.

Chloe: Let's buy her some flowers and maybe a new outfit.

Brady: She would like that.

Chloe: I only wish Shawn would wake up. Mimi and I warned him the whole time he was messing with Anna but he wouldn't listen. He kept saying you weren't coming back.

Brady: Well we had to wait until Philip could get cured. And then Belle got pregnant and we couldn't leave until she had the baby. It wasn't safe for her to have her baby down here. The pregnancies are so different from humans.

Chloe: Mimi was pregnant down here and she had some weird side effects. It was awful.

Brady: Yeah. I still can't believe Belle gave birth and Shawn broke her heart all in one day. She was so scared that Zariana was going to die before Shawn could see her.

Chloe: And now she doesn't even want him to know about her. It isn't fair. Why does Shawn have to mess up so badly?

Brady: He is a jerk but I promise you this, if he even thinks about trying to hurt my sister any more than he already has, I will make him pay.

Chloe: Brady I don't necessarily think that he deserves a second chance. But I do think that we have to let Belle make her own decisions about Shawn. She would learn to hate us later.

Brady: You can't expect me to let him get close to her again. He had hurt her enough.

Chloe: I know but Brady it is her choice. They do share a child.

Brady: You know what I am not taking your advice it is you and Mimi's fault she got pregnant. I told you he would hurt her. But you promised me that she would be okay. But no he gets her pregnant and then when we leave he breaks her heart. Yeah let me take your advice again. No thanks.

Brady stormed out of the store leaving Chloe in tears. Chloe just asked the salesperson to have it all delivered to Salem Apartment Complex, Room 125A. That was the new apartment that Craig had gotten the aliens.

Chloe raced back to the Salem Inn hoping to talk to Belle. She wasn't sure what had just happened between her and Brady.

Brady stopped in the park and sat on the swings. Chloe stopped in a flower shop to buy Belle flowers and then went into Balistics and bought her a new outfit.
