Chapter 29

Hope ran out the door to find Belle. She knew how Belle felt she knew that she had to feel confused and if she knew Belle she was fighting with herself on what to do. She decided that right now Belle needed her more than her son.

Hope saw Belle sitting outside crying. She walked over and wrapped Belle into her arms.

Belle: Why didn't he trust me?

Hope: Shawn thought he was doing the right thing. He is a guy so he doesn't know any better.

Belle: He left me and the kids. I don't know if I can forgive him.

Shawn ran after Belle and heard her say that last sentence. He bent down and took her hand.

Shawn: I'm really sorry, Belle. It was never my intention to hurt you.

Hope stood up. She knew the couple needed privacy so she left without being noticed.

Belle: Shawn, why didn't you trust me? We could have made it work. I could have helped you.

Shawn: I wasn't thinking clearly. Belle, I love you and I love our children. All I want is for us to be happy and be a family again.

Belle: I want us to be a family again too but I just can't trust you Shawn.

Shawn: Yes you can trust me. It's time we get back together and I'll do anything to make it up to you.

Belle: What do you have in mind?

Shawn: I know that you can't fully trust me but how about I take you out on a nice romantic date?

Belle: Shawn, we have children and I can't leave them alone. I know that you can leave them but I can't.

Shawn: That isn't fair Belle. Ok so the date was a bad idea. But Belle all I want is another chance. Please give me another chance.

Belle: I don't know.

Shawn: (in tears) Please Belle. I love you and I can't lose you. I won't lose you!

Belle: I don't want to give up on you Shawn but I'm scared. If I give you another chance will you hurt me again? I don't know if I want to take that chance
