Chapter 33

Bo: Can you believe that we don't have any of our three year olds right now?

Hope: Oh I can dad is over there playing hide and go seek with all 6 of them. Poor guy is going to be so exhausted when they are done with him.

Bo: Come on Fancy Face let's go dance.

Shawn: Sorry dad but I am going to still mom. You will have to find another dancing partner cause I am dancing with mom.

Hope: Sorry Bo. But our son has spoken.

Bo: Fine I will go steal Belle away.

Shawn: Only for one song. We have lost so much time together that I will be expecting to have my fiance right back.

Hope: Fiance! You guys made up oh Shawn you don't know how happy I am.

Shawn: We are going to have a long engagement until I can gain back Belle's trust but it is better than not being with her.

Hope: Give her time and it will all go back to how it was.

Shawn: Well let's go dance mom.

The two head off to the dance floor so Bo heads over to find Belle. He finds her sitting at a table holding Faith.

Bo: Hey Belle, wanna dance?

Belle: Sure but Faith will have to dance with us too. Mom and dad have the twins right now.

Bo: No problem.

They head off to the floor. They made small talk while dancing.

Bo: I heard through the grapevine that you and my son are getting married.

Belle: He asked me when we were outside. I am still having a little trouble trusting him so I told him that we are going to be engaged for a long time.

Bo: There is nothing wrong with that. Hope and I waited awhile before we got married.

Belle: I also feel that I need to get my health back in order. I need to start taking care of myself again.

Bo: You have that glow back in your face. You are going to be fine.

Across the room:

Hope: You dont' know how happy I am for you.

Shawn: I'm so happy too, mom. Belle is my life. I can't believe how forgiving she is.

Hope: She gets that from her mom.

Shawn: No she doesn't. Marlena isn't as nice as Belle. I hate to say it but Belle doesn't take after her family at all. I actually think she takes after you. Besides Belle, you are the only other person I know that is not selfish and very forgiving.

Hope: Well it must have rubbed off on her after all those years of babysitting her. I'm glad that you found happiness.

Shawn: So am I mom. So am I.
