Chapter 4

Shawn held Belle in his arms and stroked her hair. What'd I do to deserve her? Shawn thought, tracing her cheekbone with his finger. I love her so much Shawn thought, drifting off to sleep again.

Belle slipped out of the bed without waking Shawn. She shivered in the night air and pulled the sheet off the bed and wrapped herself in it. Standing in the window, she watched the snow fall in the moonlight.
Shawn stepped behind her, "You okay?"
"Yeah," she whispered, putting her head back on Shawn's chest.
He held her in his arms and kissed her the top of her head.
She turned around and faced him. "Do you have any idea how much I love you?"
"Hmmm...I think I have an idea," he said, smiling.
"You've always been there for me, Shawn. Always. What would I do without you?"
"Well, hopefully...you'll never have to find out," he said leaning in to kiss her.
Their passion ignited and the sheet that covered Belle fell to the floor.
Belle slid her arms around his waist and to the waistband of his shorts. "Take them off," she whispered.
He complied and the two of them stood in the moonlight. Belle ran her hands across his pecs and then to his arms, pulling him to her.
He kissed her, gently at first but then with an urgency.
"I love you," whispered Shawn, kissing her neck and shoulders.
"Make love to me," Belle whispered.
He swept her up in his arms and laid her in his bed. "Are you sure?" he asked.
She nodded, "Yeah, I'm sure."

Chapter 5

Shawn awoke to the smell of bacon cooking and heard the water running in the shower. He stretched and then remembered the night before. He had finally been able to show Belle how much he loved her.
His dad knocked on the door.
"Shawn? Are you two awake? Breakfast is ready."
"Yeah, dad. Belle's in the shower. We'll be down in a few minutes."
"Belle?" Shawn started as he came into the bathroom. "You leavin' me any hot water?"
She giggled, "Just join me and we'll have plenty of hot water."
Shawn opened the shower stall and slid in behind the love of his life. "'Mornin', angel," he whispered, slipping his arms around her waist. "Sleep well?"
She leaned back against Shawn, "Yeah, I did. You?"
"Yep, slept like a baby."
"Good. Is breakfast ready yet?"
"Yeah, dad called us down. I told him we'd be down in a bit."
She giggled. "Okay. I can't believe your parents didn't freak last night."
"I guess they remembered what it was like when they were young," Shawn explained.
"Guess so. At any rate, I really appreciate them letting me stay," she said, handing Shawn the shampoo.
"Yeah, it's not a problem, though," washing his hair.
"Okay, I'm done," Belle said, opening the shower door.
"I'm done, too. Can you hand me a towel?"
Belle wrapped the towel around her and turned around and stared at Shawn.
"Nah, I like you like this. I'll just wait a few minutes."
"Hey!"
She giggled, "Okay, here ya go," she said, throwing him a towel.

"Good morning, you two," Hope said as Shawn and Belle walked down the stairs.
"Good morning," Belle started, walking up to Hope. "Hope, I want to thank you and Bo for letting me stay. It means a lot to me."
Hope patted her hand, "Its okay, Belle. We know you needed Shawn last night. Do you feel better now?"
She smiled, "Yeah, I do as a matter of fact. I just needed to get some perspective. Some distance."
Hope nodded, "I understand, really I do."
"Have my parents called?" Belle asked.
She shook her head, "Not yet but I'm sure they'll call soon, though."
"Yeah," she answered. "Mom will probably freak and make a big deal out of everything."
"She might."
Shawn came into the living room with a plate of food for Belle, "Here ya go. A plate of fruit for m' lady," he said, winking at her.
The door bell rang and Bo opened the door to find John and Marlena standing on the other side.
"Hello, Bo. Is Belle awake?"
"I'm here, Mom."
"Daddy," she said, as she hugged John as he came through the door.
"Belle," Marlena started, "are you okay?"
She nodded, "Yeah, I feel a lot better today."
"Good, you can come home with us, then," she said as she tried to guide her away from Shawn.
Belle stopped, "Mom, I'm not going anywhere," she said firmly. "I'm staying with Shawn."
"Belle," John started, "we're just trying to do what's best."
"What's best is letting me stay with Shawn," she answered.
"Belle, we're not going to let you stay with Shawn. Just forget it," Marlena responded.
"You're our daughter and we know what's best."
"She's more than welcome to say with us, if she wants," Hope replied.
Marlena turned to face her, "I didn't ask you, Hope. Stay out of it."
"Excuse me, Marlena. She's taken refuge in my home so I'm kinda "in it" for the duration."
Bo walked up behind Hope, "Marlena, I know there's been a lot of tension at your house and we're fine with Belle staying with us. She's very welcome here."
Marlena gazed at Bo, "Well, I don't want her here, Bo. She has no business spending the night with Shawn." She turned to Belle, "Get your things."
"No," Belle replied.
"Izzy," John started. "Please."
"No, daddy. I will not go home with her. I'm staying here...with Shawn."
"Shawn isn't your family, Belle."
"Yes, he is."
"No, Belle...he is a friend..."
"A friend? Oh, Mom...you have no idea."
Marlena stopped and stared at Shawn, "What did you do to her? Did you hurt her?"
"Marlena," Bo started, "You know Shawn better than that. He'd never hurt Belle."
Shawn walked over to Marlena, "I can't believe you actually think I'd hurt her." He turned to Belle and then back to Marlena, "Belle and I love each other, Marlena. I'd never intentionally do anything to harm her."
"Love? You two don't know what that is," she said, angrily. "You're just children."
"No, we're not," Shawn explained, "Not any more."
Bo and Hope exchanged knowing looks while Marlena glared at Shawn and Belle.
"What does that mean, Shawn?"

Chapter 6

"What does that mean, Shawn?" Marlena repeated.
"It simply means that we've grown up. That we can make our own decisions."
"I don't believe you, Shawn," she responded, becoming more and more agitated. "What have you done to my daughter?"
"I didn't hurt her, Marlena," Shawn explained.
"What did you do to her!" Marlena shouted.
"We're lovers!" Belle screamed, coming to Shawn's defense.
"Y-you're lovers?" Marlena repeated.
"Yes, we are."
"Well, I would hope you're using protection as to not get my daughter pregnant."
Shawn turned to Belle, "I do not believe I'm standing here talking to your mother about what protection we're using."
Belle stepped in front of Shawn, "Yes, Mom. We're using protection."
Marlena turned to Bo and Hope, "If you controlled your son better, this wouldn't be happening," she said, raising her voice.
"Controlled our son?" Bo asked, "Did she say "controlled our son"?
Hope nodded, "I'm afraid she did."
Bo stepped toward John who'd been quiet so far, "I think that's it's a little tense in here. Why don't we take a break? We'll meet you down and the pub later, okay?"
John nodded and took Marlena's arm, "Let's go, Doc. We'll meet them at the pub."
Marlena stared at Belle, "You were always such a good little girl. What happened to you?"
