Chapter 5,Things Get Ugly,
Belle sat at the court house.
"So,Belle,your here to file for divorce," said Frankie,who she had hired as her attorny.
"Yes,Frankie,I want an annulment tho," said Belle.
"Alright," he said.He pulled out a stack of papers.
"You'll need Philip's signature on alot of these," said Frankie.
Belle leafed through them.
"Can I take my last name back," said Belle.
"Yes,of corse," said Frankie.
Belle had filled most of the stuff out.
She checked Inreconsialable Differences as reason for split.
Later:
Shawn walked into his and Belle's loft carrying the carseat that Claire was sleeping in.
"Belle," Shawn said loudly but not too loudly.
Belle walked in from downstairs.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey baby," he said as he gave her a quick kiss and sat the carseat on the kitchen counter.
"What do you want to do for dinner," said Shawn
Ring Ring!
"Hold that thought," said Belle walking to the phone.
"Hello," said Belle as she picked up the phone.
"Hey sis," said Sami.
"Hey,Sami," said Belle.
"Austin and I are going to Alice's,Would you and Shawn like to meet us there," said Sami.
"Sure,if I can get a sitter for Claire," said Belle.
"Call Mom or John," said Sami.
"Ok,I will,call you back in a sec k," said Belle.
"K,love ya,bye," said Sami.
"Love ya too,bye," said Belle as she hung up.
Shawn was waving a rattle in front of Claire.
She dialed her Dad's number.
"Hello," said John.
"Daddy,hey,its Belle," said Belle.
"Hey Izzy,Whatcha need baby girl," said John.
"Can you watch Claire," said Belle.
"Sure,sweetie,do you wanna bring her here?or I can come there," said John.
"I'll bring her there,Shawn and I are going to Alice's," said Belle.
"We are," Shawn said looking at her.She waved her hand telling him to Shush.
"Ok,Izzy,Hows Shawn liking fatherhood so far," said John.
"He loves it," said Belle smiling.
"Thats great sweetheart,I'll see you when you get here," said John.
"Ok,bye Dad,Love you," said Belle.
"Love you too baby girl,bye," said John.
Belle hung up.
"Get ready,were going to Alice's," said Belle.
"Okay," he said.
Belle decided decide to leave the jeans and she changed to a pink speghetti strapped lacey tank that looked kinda like a pajama top.She then went into the bathroom to fix her hair and make-up.
Shawn took off his shirt and slipped on a snug black tee and his leather jacket.
"I'm ready," he said.
"I'm not," Belle said from the bathroom.
Later that night:
Belle and Shawn arrived at Alice's.Hand in hand.
They scanned the room for Sami and Austin.
They were sitting at the bar.
Belle and Shawn walked over.
"Hey," said Belle.
"Hey Sis,Hey Shawn," said Sami,who was dressed in jeans and a light blue sequeined top.She stood up and walked over and gave Belle a hug.They are trying to be close.
Austin had on light blue tight jeans and a black collared sweater.
Sami had a strawberry daquari in her hand and Austin had a vodka martini in his.
"Shawn,Belle,what would you like to drink," said Austin.
"I'll have a beer," Shawn said.
"What about you,Belle," said Sami.
"I'll have a Pina Colada," said Belle.
"Alrite,bartender,A beer for him,and a Pina Colada for the lady," said Austin pointing at us.
A few drinks later:
They were all getting a little buzzworthy.
Austin led Sami onto the dance floor.
Shawn looked at Belle.
"You wanna dance," said Shawn.
"Sure," said Belle.
He led her onto the dance floor and they started dancing to Can't Fight The Moonlight.
Sami noticed.She thought of a idea to do something nice for her sister.
She walked over to the D.J and requested a song.It started.
Belle immediatly knew the beat.
"Shawn," she whispered.
"I know,baby,I know," he said.
'The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful'
Shawn had pulled her close and began whispering the words in her ear.
'Stop me and steal my breath
And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky
Never revealing their depth
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above'
Just as the chorus started he adjusted his head to look her in the eyes.
'I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life'
Sami noticed and smiled.She really honestly did wanna be close with Belle again.
"Look at them," said Sami.
"He loves her,I've been in that kind of love before," said Austin.
As the chorus finished Shawn then pulled her tightly and whispered them directly in her ear.His sexy husky voice breathed so delicatly on her ear.
'And rain falls angry on the tin roof
As we lie awake in my bed'
There was a good amount of other couples on the dance floor.But they didn't care.To them it was just them.Nobody else mattered.Belle felt on top of the world.Shawn had been singing the whole song and had no intention of stopping.
'You're my survival, you're my living proof
My love is alive and not dead
Tell me that we belong together
Dress it up with the trappings of love
I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips
Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
And I've dropped out, I've burned up
I fought my way back from the dead
Tuned in, turned on
Remembered the things that you said
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life
I'll be your cryin' shoulder
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older
I'll be the greatest fan of your life'
He leaned in about an inch away from her lips.Looking directly into her icy blue eyes.As he whispered the final lyric.
'The greatest fan of your whole life'
He leaned in and kissed her.He wanted her right then and there.She kissed him back passionatly.
Sami noticed and ran over.
"Belle,you wanna go for another drink," said Sami.
Belle looked at her watch.10:15pm.
"Its getting late,Shawn and I better head home," said Belle.
Sami checked her watch.
"Oh my god,I didn't realize how late it was,I have to go to a Parent/Teacher conference at Will's school tommorow morning," said Sami.
That night:
Belle and Shawn walked into there loft.They had decided to let Claire sleepover with John.
They began kissing and they landed on the couch.Shawn on top.
A few hours later:
Shawn layed on top of Belle,breathing hard.They had just finished making intense love for the 3rd time.
"You are...amazing," said Belle out of breath.
"So are you," said Shawn.
"You wanna do it again," said Belle.
"Are you trying to kill me,woman," said Shawn.
"Ok,lets go to bed," said Belle.
She got up letting the sheet slip from her body as she walked to their bed,naked.
Shawn was infatuated by her,like always.
He followed her to bed and they finally went to sleep...an hour later.
The next morning:
Belle was picking up some of Claire's stuff.She was dressed in black jeans and a purple turtleneck sweater.He blonde hair down and had been straightened.
Shawn walked in with a baby bag.And a carseat with Claire in it.
"Look who I got," said Shawn.
Belle immediatly went over and picked up her baby.
Claire giggled.
Belle kissed Claire's forehead.
She then sat her down in her bassinet.
"Shawn,I have something for you," said Belle.
"Really," said Shawn.
She picked up a rectangaler shaped slender wrapped box.
"I mean,its nonthing big,but I decided to get it over with," said Belle.
She handed it to Shawn.
It was wraped so he just had to untie the ribbon and take the top half of the box off.
He opened it.
Inside was Claire's birth certificate.
(Authors Note:This isn't how it really would look its just what it says)
Claire Alice Brady
(Authors Note:Also I don't know if this really will be Claire's middle name but I thought it fit)
Father:Shawn Douglas Brady
Mother:Isabella Marie Black
Birthdate:September 27,2005.
Shawn's face lit up.
"Baby,this is the best gift I've ever got," said Shawn.He gave her a small peck on the lips.
Meanwhile:
"Mom,Mom,something horrible has happened," said Philip as he ran into her office.
"Philip,what is it," said Kate.
"Belle's filing for an annulment,and she had Claire's last name changed," said Philip.
"You don't mean," started Kate.
"Yup,Claire is now a Brady," said Philip.
"I can't believe that bitch," said Kate.
"Mom,what am I gonna do," said Philip.
"Hunny,I have an idea," said Kate.
1 hour later at The Loft:
Claire layed in her bassinet.
Belle and Shawn sat on the couch watching t.v.
Just then Philip came running in.
"Give me the child," he screamed.
"What the fuck," said Shawn.Shawn ran over and tried to punch him but Philip punched him out.
Philip ran over to Claires bassinet.
"You can't take her!" screamed Belle.
She tried to fight him.Slapping him and kicking him but it was no use.
Philip had been in War,been taken hostage by the DiMera's,and lost his leg.
Belle couldn't hurt to him.He was at least 200 pounds(due to mussle).And she was 5'3 and was about 135 pounds.
He punched her out.Really hard.
He then picked up Claire and her bunny,strapped her in her carseat and picked up her baby bag.
"Should I take her other stuff," he questioned outloud.
He shook his head.
"I'll buy more stuff," said Philip.
And with that he picked up the carseat handle and off he went.
15 minutes later:
Shawn woke up.
He saw that Claire was indeed gone.
He noticed Belle on the floor,passed out.
"Oh God," he said.
He checked her for pulse.She was still breathing.
"Belle baby,wake up," he said shaking her.
She didn't wake up.
He shook her and slapped her cheeks lightly.
"Come on,Perfect Girl,wake up," he said.
She opened her eyes slightly.
"Shawn," she said.
"Yeah,its me," he said.
"Did he take Claire," she said.
"Unfortanatly,yes," Shawn said.
"I'm calling the police," said Belle.
45 minutes later:
"Ok,you've got every cop in town looking for Philip and Claire," said Shawn.
"Now,I've gotta get the ISA looking," said Belle.
She called her dad.
"Hello," said John.
"Daddy,I need your help," said Belle.
"Whats wrong,Izzy," said John.
"Its Claire...Philip took her," said Belle.
"He did what," said John.
"Yea,He came in,he punched Shawn out,then he nearly killed me,I need your help," said Belle.
"I'm on it,I'm gonna call Shane Donovan and see what he can do," said John.
"Ok,thank you Daddy," said Belle.
She hung up.
"Its being taken care of," said Belle.
Shawn had his doubts.
"Belle,I know your dad has his connections,but so does Philip,hes heir to the Titan Fortune," said Shawn.
"My dad's in the ISA," said Belle.
"I know," said Shawn.
5 hours later:
It was nearly 8:30pm.
Ding Dong!
Shawn answered it.
It was John.
He ran over to Belle.
He gave her a hug.
"Belle,Finding Claire may be hard,but we will find her,I promise," said John.
"How long will it take," said Belle.
"I don't know exactly,but we won't give up," said John.
"See,I told you my Dad would find her no matter what," said Belle.
"Thats a fact",said John.
"John,can you stay with Belle,I'm gonna go pick up so dinner," said Shawn.
"I'm not hungry," said Belle.
"Claire would want you to eat," said Shawn.
"Yea,I'll stay,I'm staying here for the rest of the night,unless,you two would rather be at The Penthouse,Dr.North is in prison,I'm sure your mother wouldn't mind," said John.
"Maybe we should,Belle,I mean all Claire's stuff is here," said Shawn.
"Ok," said Belle.
A little later:
Belle tried to take her mind off of stuff.
She walked around her old room.
Shawn walked in.
"Are we sleeping in here tonight," said Shawn.
"Yeah," said Belle.
"Well,can I take down the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC posters," said Shawn.
"Shawn,it was the Pop Music Phase,give it a rest," said Belle.
"Well,come downstairs and eat," said Shawn.
"Fine," said Belle.They went downstairs in the dining room.
"I got Speghetti,one of your favorites," said Shawn.
"Thanks," said Belle.
As they were eating John walked in.
"Oh,this is cozy," said John.
"Daddy,did you get any leads on Claire," said Belle with a mouth full of noodles.
"Chew your food and no,but I'll stop at nonthing to find her," said John,he had this look in his eyes like he meant it.
