Chapter 19

Salem Inn

Philip and Mimi decided to go take the babies out for a walk so Belle could get some rest. They locked the door and left.

Belle was pretending to be asleep so they would leave so she could have some alone time. Belle was almost asleep when the phone rang.

Belle: Hello?

Shawn: Were you sleeping?

Belle: I don't want to talk to you.

Belle slammed the phone down and rolled over on her side to go back to sleep. After several seconds it rang again.

Belle: I said stop calling me!

Craig: Belle? Are you okay?

Belle: Craig, I'm sorry. I thought you were Shawn.

Craig: I was just calling to check up on you and the baby.

Belle: We are fine. I was sleeping and Mimi took Zariana out for a walk.

Craig: Well I got you guys an apartment and you can move in as soon as you are ready.

Belle: Craig, that is so nice of you. Thank you so much.

Belle put the phone back on its cradle and tried once again to go to sleep. But once again

the phone disrupted her.

Belle: Yes?

Shawn: Belle, please talk to me.

Belle: I have nothing to say to you.

Shawn: I think you do. I need to know why you refuse to talk to me. And why it took you guys so long to come back.

Belle: You think that you deserve answers what a joke.

Belle slammed the phone down. She couldn't believe the nerve of him calling her and wanted answers. Belle tried to fall back asleep again but the phone rang again.

Belle: Shawn if you call one more damn time I am going to have Brady deal with you.

Anna: Belle it's Anna, Shawn's girlfriend.

Belle: Oh what can I help you with?

Anna: Well see I told Shawn that I was pregnant today and he took off and I can't find him and I thought maybe one of you guys would know.

Belle: Shawn isn't a friend of mine, I wouldn't know.

Belle hung up and stared at the phone in shock.
