Chapter 18
Shawn started to swim to Belle as fast as he could. He couldn't believe that they didn't notice before that she couldn't swim when she jumped in. He had just assumed since Brady and Philip could swim that she could too.
Shawn dove into the water and pulled a motionless Belle out of the water. They lifted her onto the boat and Mimi and Shawn started CPR. Shawn felt like she had been out so long.
"Shawn we have to let her go she isn't breathing."
"No Mimi we have to keep trying."
"But Shawn she is gone."
"NO MIMI she can't be. We haven't had a chance to." With that Shawn started crying.
"A chance to what Shawn?"
"Never mind Mimi come on help me let's try again." Chloe yelled at her.
After a few more tries Belle finally came too. She was coughing up water and shaking. Shawn ran and got a towel and blanket and wrapped them around her. They couldn't get her to stop sobbing and shaking. Finally Brady started to sing to her and she calmed down and fell asleep in Shawn's strong loving arms.
Shawn picked her up gently and took her downstairs to the bedroom where Mimi and Chloe changed her into some warm clothes and Brady tucked her into bed and sang softly to his baby sister.
Shawn sat down in the chair next to the bed and watched Belle sleep.
"You look like an angel when you sleep. That was a close call earlier but you are okay I won't let anything bad happen to you. I care about you too much to let anything hurt you." Shawn said to Belle while she slept.
