"You have got to be kidding me right? She came back and she thinks that the two of you are married?" Shane asked, as they stood outside of the hospital room, where Shawn had yet again spent another sleepless night.

He had wanted to stay by her side to make sure nothing would happen again, and now that he had Shane in front of him, he got to hear all the information on Stephanie first hand. Apparently, she had taken a set worker from the back and paid him a lot of money to try and take Trish out again. Now that Stephanie was behind bars, and Paul had started divorce proceedings, it looked like everything could go back to normal. Except for the other little problem Shawn now faced anyway.

"It's a long story man; I've been through a lot with her that I can't even begin to explain. It makes sense because I know she was out of it for a long time, and I guess I was with her wherever she was, but man, how the hell do I tell her we aren't actually married?"

"Buddy, if I had the answer to that I would have seen all of this coming from my sister. All I can tell you is that if you don't tell her and she finds out somewhere else then you might lose her again, but not to death this time, it might be another man. Can you actually deal with what could happen if you don't tell her?"

"No better then I can deal with telling her that's for sure. Listen, I wanted to say thank you for everything you all went through to find out what the hell happened to her. It means a lot to her, I'm sure she has told you already, but it meant a lot to me. I can sleep a lot better in that chair knowing I needn't be worried about something that goes bump in the night."

"Well there are things that go bump in the night you still have to worry about." Shane said a grin replacing the serious look that had covered his face while he recounted what had happened with his sister.

"Oh hell, you don't have to remind me about that right now man." Shawn said, letting a laugh escape his lips. A laugh he realized that he hadn't done a lot of since the accident. It was amazing how good it felt to allow his body to do it again.

"Listen, I need to get back to the office and also back to my pretty wife. I suggest you do the same, at least get back your pretty wife anyway. Give her my best, tell her I am glad she came back to us and I can't wait to see her get back in the ring again."

As Shawn shook his hand and headed back into the hospital room, Shane stopped and turned around, obviously wanting to say something else.

"Oh Shawn, tell her the truth now, or you could lose her again."

Shawn nodded his head and entered the hospital room, noticing right away that the angel before him had her eyes locked straight on him,

"I didn't know you were awake." Shawn said, running his fingers through his hair and taking the seat beside her bed, as was the usual makeup of the day.

"I just woke up. I thought I heard Shane say something."

"You did. There is something I've been meaning to talk to you about. It's actually kind of important."

"Well I'm listening now, don't worry I wont fall asleep on you. The last time I did that I missed you saying the most important thing. I don't want to have to do that again."

"Well you see Trish, the thing is—oh hell, who am I kidding, you aren't going to like this either way."

Trish sat up further in the bed, noticing that Shawn looked awfully troubled by something that she hadn't the slightest idea of. She had thought now that they were married, this wouldn't be happening again.

"Just tell me what it is Shawn, I am sure I can deal with it, it can't be that bad."

Shawn looked up then, directly into her eyes, the truth written all over them. If he told her they weren't married and that it was all a dream, she would surely kick him out and it would end as soon as it finally began. That was the last thing he wanted right now. Shane was right though, if he didn't tell her, she would find out some other way, Rebecca for sure since she was still in town, and it would end anyway.

"It can be that bad Trish, and it most assuredly is. I don't have any other way to say this except to just say it bluntly."

Touching his arm with her hand she looked into his eyes, asking her with her mind to tell him what was on his mind and let her deal with the fallout. When he opened his mouth to speak, she found herself nauseous with nervousness.

"We aren't married Trish, not now, not before the accident. We weren't even dating until you woke up yesterday. I am in love with you though and I know what you went through and I know to you the marriage seems real, but we aren't married."

She sat in silence for a few seconds, then turning into a few minutes, and Shawn felt his body tense with what was obviously coming. He saw the look on her face and knew she was in pain from hearing this. It hadn't been his shining moment either, but he just wanted to make it right again.

"You're telling me that what I have in my memory wasn't real? We didn't stand in the sunlight on a beach and speak our vows in front of God?"

"What you saw was real to you, but baby you have been lost to us for a long time now, months even. If given the chance in front of God, the church, and whatever else you wanted, I would have married you but I didn't marry you yet."

"Do you love me?" she creaked, her voice showing signs of slowing down, and her body showing signs of being tired.

"Yes I do love you, more now then I ever thought I could before."

"Then we are married you see? We didn't stand in front of a preacher and say our vows. We were on a beach, in the sunlight, swearing our love for each other. If you love me, then we are married."

"Well what do you say we make this official?" Shawn asked, not sure where he found the words, the only explanation being he found them where they had been all along, in his heart. He took her hand into his, and smiling he stood from the chair and bent down on one knee. A feeling of déjà vu washed over him as he did and he felt his heart get fuller. She was right; they had been married, just not legally. He knew in his heart as he got down on one knee that now it was time to make it official.

"Before you say what I think you are going to say, I have something to tell you too, and with what is happening, I can hardly believe it myself."

"What is it baby?" he asked, still down on his knees, waiting to ask for her hand.

"Shawn, by some miracle I am pregnant."
