Allie was released the next day.  Since the day Shayne arrived at the hospital he never left her side. Allie and Shayne both went to his house and had been staying there together since the day she was released.

Shayne and Allie were in his backyard by the pool sitting on some chairs under a big sun umbrella drinking lemonade. Allie sat there staring at Shayne and thinking, **Thank you God, so much, for giving me the wonderful blessing of having Shayne Wst in my life. Thank you for giving us both the strength and love that kept us and has been keeping us together through our good and bad times.** I can't believe I can love a person this much and have him love me too, (even after what I put him through) **

Shayne noticed Allison starring at him… "Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face?" Shayne asked laughing as he ran his hands through his face as if to take something off.   

Allie smiled… "No babe, there's nothing on your face."

"Then what's wrong?" Shayne asked a bit concerned.

"I was just thinking, about you and me … us."

"What about us?"  Shayne asked as he motioned Allie to sit on his lap, as she did, and put one arm on her shoulder and the other on her leg.

"I was just thinking how lucky I am to have you in my life. How, in a way, crazy it is to have so much love for another person… It's like you filled in that part that I was missing in my life, I would be empty or not complete with out you. I love you so much." Whispering those last five words.

"Well I hope you know that I'm definitely with you on that one" Shayne said smiling as he gently tickled Allie and kissed her neck.

Allie giggled as she wiggled around trying to make him stop. She looked at Shayne straight in the eyes and continued… "I'm serious babe… I mean, its like I never ever thought I would fall in love with anyone. I was actually scared about that whole 'love' thing and honestly, I never really wanted to fall in love or be close to loving someone. I never believed in true love until I met you.  And now that I have,

 I can't even begin to describe how wonderful it is, how happy it makes me and how blessed I feel to have that, to have you." …"I don't just love you, I'm IN love with you, Shayne."

Both Shayne and Allie's eyes began to tear up a little bit as their eyes still stayed locked.

Shayne placed a hand on her cheek as he gently caressed it while bringing her close to him as he gently placed her velvety lips onto his, that turned into an innocent loving kiss, which lasted a good while. As Shayne slowly stopped, still keeping their faces extremely close to each other, he looked into Allison's big hazel eyes and said…"I'm serious too when I say that I'm with you on everything you've said, I love you so much, you're my girl, my babe, and soon to be the mother of my baby. Our baby."

Allison smiled and soon had tears slowly running down her pink cheeks.

"Baby don't cry" Shayne said in a loving and reassuring manner.

"I just cant' help it Shayne, I'm so happy." Allie said laughing a bit. "Plus, for some reason, ever since I got pregnant, I've been extra emotional." Allie said as her tears ended.

Both Shayne and Allie laughed.  "Well then I guess we should try not to talk about stuff that's gonna make you cry right?" Shayne said while giving Allison one of his beautiful  'Shayne-Smirks' J

Allie tittered when all of a sudden she froze in shock as she quickly placed her hands on her belly.

"Allison what's wrong?! Is it the baby?!" Shayne quickly spoke in a very panicky tone starring at Allie and her tummy waiting for her to answer.

Allie smiled. It was the first time the baby ever kicked. "Shayne, give me your hand quick" Allie said. Shayne did as he was asked and Allie placed his left hand on her belly. Shayne still wondering what it was.

"What's wrong Allie?" Shayne asked still not sure of what was going on.

"Wait, just wait." Allie said anxiously waiting for the baby to kick at least one more time so Shayne could feel it too.

The baby suddenly kicked again. "Ooooh, there! Did you feel it?! " Allie said with much excitement in her voice as she quickly looked at Shayne.

Shayne looked up at her in surprise with a big 'ol smile on his face. "Wow, the baby just kicked!" Shayne said excitedly.

"Yes it did! Shayne this is the first time the baby has ever kicked" Allie said as she really studied and took in this new wonderful feeling she had never experienced before.

Shayne sat there as he, too, felt this new pleasure and excitement he had never thought of or felt before, yet also felt a bit of shock and fear and bewilderment, all at once.. . **Wow, my baby just moved** he thought. 

"Damn, I'm glad I was here to feel it the first time with you too" Shayne said.

"Me too" Allie said as she kept her hand on her tummy waiting to see if the baby would kick once again.

"Well, I guess the baby isn't going to kick anymore for today" Allie said after having waited a while and no more kicks.

Allie removed her hand as Shayne placed his on her tummy again and to both of their surprise to baby kicked as soon as Shayne had done this.

They both quickly looked at each other with much glee in their faces.

Shayne moved his head down towards Allison's small belly and said, "Yes baby, its me".

Allison smiled as she placed her hand on Shayne's neck, playing with his hair, while he said this.

Shayne kissed her tummy then looked up at Allison with lots of glee in his face, to see that she looked and felt the same way.  Allie leaned down and kissed him as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he did around her waist.

"I love you Shayne Wst," Allie whispered as she pulled away from their innocent love filled kiss.

"I love you more Allison Carter" Shayne whispered back as he kissed her one more time.

They both stood up as Shayne placed one arm around Allison's shoulder and the other on her tummy entwining his fingers with hers as now the three of them walked back into the house.
