The Day After, Chapter Eight
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, although I wish I owned Shawn. All I own is the plot.
The Next Day...
Nikki woke up bright and early. She went downstairs to eat breakfast. After she was done, she went back upstairs to get dressed. She looked through her closet, but she couldn't find anything to wear. Finally, she decided to wear a jean skirt and a kind of mod shirt (you know, the ones with all of the swirls and circles and stuff like that). She went back downstairs, got her jacket, and told her mom that she was going to Shawn's house.
A little while later, she arrived at Shawn's house. She smiled when Shawn answered the door. She kissed him, and he smiled back at her. "Hey, Nikki, this was unexpected. I wasn't expecting you till later." "What, a girl can't arrive early to spend more time with her fiancée?" They both laughed. Then Shawn said, "Hey, I just have to run a quick errand, okay?" Nikki looked around nervously and said, "Is Danny around?" Shawn said, "Yeah, but he won't bother you. Why don't you just sit down and watch a little TV or something?" She said she would, and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
As soon as he left, Danny came downstairs. He looked surprised to see Nikki there. "Uh, Nikki...um...what are you doing here?" "Oh, Shawn and I have a date." She replied, suspiciously. "Oh, cool." he said. "Um...yeah." Nikki said.
"Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. I didn't mean to hit Shawn." He said. "Oh, that's...wait a sec...what do you mean you didn't mean to hit Shawn?" "He got in the way. What I really wanted was to keep hitting...YOU!" he yelled, and proceeded to punch Nikki over and over and over again. She managed to run away, but he caught up with her as she entered the living room. "DANNY, STOP IT!" she screamed. But he kept hitting her.
Meanwhile, outside the house...
Shawn had just come home. He heard screaming, and the first thing he thought was Oh shit! Nikki! He dropped everything and ran inside to find Danny punching her Nikki repeatedly. He ran up to Danny and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?" He ran in front of Nikki and blocked her from Danny's punches. He then proceeded to punch Danny over and over again, you know give him a dose of his own medicine. When he was done, he grabbed Danny by the collar of his shirt and slammed him against the wall. Then Shawn angrily said, "YOU STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, FROM NIKKI, FROM THE FUCKING BABY! DO YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND ME?" When Danny nodded in agreement, Shawn let go of him and said to Nikki, "Come on. Let's go."
They walked away in silence. Nikki hoped that Danny would be okay. As if reading her thoughts, Shawn said, "aw, don't worry, he'll be alright." "I hope so, Shawn." Nikki replied. "Well, you do know that we're going to have to report him, don't you, Nikki?" Nikki sighed and said, "I know, Shawn, I just don't want him to be hurt." "Nikki, he tried to hurt you and the baby. I don't want him to do that again. Nikki, I don't want you to get hurt like that again." Nikki smiled and gave him a passionate kiss on the lips. After a little while, she sighed again and said, "Okay, how about we report him tomorrow?" "Okay, Nikki, but I'll come over to your house so he doesn't know what we're up to." Soon they were at Nikki's house. "Well, Shawn, I have to go now." "I'll see you tomorrow, then?" "Yep. How about 9:00 am, Shawn?" "I'll be there." he said. They both smiled at each other and had a long passionate kiss. Then Shawn went on his way, and Nikki went inside. That night, she hoped that Danny wouldn't find out that they were going to report him. Who knew what would happen if he found out.....
