Chapter 26
Salem Inn
Belle was watching "A Walk to Remeber" and rocking Zariana. Her brothers and their girlfriends had went out to dinner and left Landon and Zariana with Belle cause she didn't feel like going out. There was a knock on the door soBelle got up and answered the door. She prayed that it wasn't Shawn cause she didn't have the strength to argue with him. Belle almost slammed the door shut again when she saw who was at the door.
Cynthia: Belle I know that I am not your favorite person right now. But there is something you need to know.
Belle: Come on in.
Cynthia: Is that your little girl?
Belle: Yes this is Zariana.
Cynthia: She is beautiful. Listen. I brought my answering machine over here for you to listen to. I know we have had our problems in the past. But this is something that you need to hear. I have moved on and I have a great boyfriend. I feel terrible for trying to come between you and Shawn.
Belle: It's okay, people do strange things when they are in love.
Cynthia: You are much to forgiving. Let me play the tape.
Belle: Hold on. I need to go the bathroom can you hold her for a second.
Cynthia: Are you sure that you trust me with her?
Belle: Yes I believe in second chances.
Cynthia: Are you going to give Shawn a second chance? He does love you.
Belle: I don't want to talk about that. I will be right back.
Belle went into the bathroom and came back to see Cynthia talking to Zariana. Belle walked over and picked up a very fussy Landon. She went and sat next to Cynthia.
Cynthia: Are you ready to listen to this?
Belle: Sure.
Cynthia pushed play and Belle heard all of Anna's evil plans to keep her and Shawn apart.
Cynthia: I just wanted you to know before she came tomorrow. Now I know that you and Shawn aren't civil. But I called him and told him to head over here so he can hear it too. It doesn't have to change how you feel about him but he needs to know what he is dealing with.
Belle: Okay but when he gets here tell him not to pressure me into talking to him. Let me have Zariana I don't want him around her yet. I am not ready.
Belle and Cynthia switched babies and then there was a knock at the door.
Belle: That is probably Shawn.
Cynthia: He will be surprised to hear this tape. I don't think he knew Anna was this evil.
Belle walked over and opened the door. Much to her delight, it wasn't Shawn but Craig.
Belle: Craig, please come in.
Craig: I just wanted to check on you and Zariana. You should really be in bed.
Belle: I feel fine. Besides, my body is different from yours.
Craig: I can understand that. How is my little angel doing?
Belle: You want to hold her? She is being very good. She's only cried a few times.
Craig took the small baby and made faces at her. Zariana responded by spitting up on him.
Belle: I'm sorry, Craig. I just fed her.
Cynthia: Do you want me to leave you alone? I can go and come back later.
Belle: No, Cynthia, please stay.
Craig: Have you guys moved into the apartment yet?
Belle: Brady and Philip are going to move our things in tomorrow. We are going to stay here for the night.
Craig: Well if you need anything, please let me know. I will get you guys or Zariana anything you need.
Belle: Thank you so much Craig.
Craig: Well I will see you later. Bye guys.
As Craig was walking out, he ran into Shawn. They said hello and Shawn walked on into Belle's room.
Shawn: Okay, I'm here. What's this about?
