As Belle and Shawn walked into the waiting area of the hospital where they had left their spouses, they stopped dead in their tracks. Standing in front of them were Mimi and Philip. The two of them where kissing.

"What the hell?" Shawn said, surprised at how calm he felt. He should be fuming; shouldn't he?

Mimi and Philip released each other, not sure how to explain what they had done.

"Shawn, I'm, it, oh God. I don't know how to explain this," Mimi said.

"You don't have to Meems," Philip said. "All we did was kiss. It's not like we slept together."

"That is enough from you Philip!" Shawn said. "When you were attacking me, that was fine. Now you're attacking Belle too. This shit has got to stop!"

"Look at him being all 'knight-in-shining-armor' guy," Philip said, mockingly. "He's always had to defend Belle. He always had to save her from the big bad world."

"Why are you acting like this?" Belle asked, speaking for the first time during this whole situation. "I don't even remember sleeping with Shawn. And since I don't remember it, how could I possibly be hiding it from you? And I'm sure the whole intention behind it was to hurt you, Philip. It had absolutely nothing to do with trying to keep warm."

"He took advantage of you Belle-"

"So why the hell are you attacking her?" Shawn shouted, causing him to shudder. He knew he shouldn't be more upset about Philip talking badly to Belle than Philip kissing Mimi.

"I, just, I don't know. I'm angry-"

"And you think we're not? We didn't expect this to happen! We didn't try to hurt anybody! It happened. We can't go back and change it. We all just have to deal with it, find a solution, and move on with our lives. But I can't do that until a few things change, Philip. So either you want a divorce and I'll move out with Claire, or you can attempt to work something out with me. You're choice. But until then, I don't want to be around you," Belle said, walking away.

"Great, look what you did!" Philip said.

"Me?" Shawn asked, shocked that Philip would say such a thing.

"Yes, you. If you wouldn't have taken advantage of her in that barn-"

"You know what? I don't care anymore. You can blame anyone and everyone you want, Philip. But you'll eventually have to realize that people don't care. My guess is that you'll be bitching about this for the rest of your life and soon, everyone will start to get sick of you bitching and moaning and then you'll be left all alone. Is that what you want? To continuously push everyone, including Belle, further and further away until you have no one? No one at all? I talked to Belle in the basement. She and I agreed that we'd figure this whole thing out and stay with the people we're married to. We'd try and work things out. But if you keep going at this rate, she won't even try," Shawn said, turning towards Mimi. "I'm going home. I hope you'll come with me or meet me there. We need to talk about this whole divorce issue. You're choice."

Shawn walked away, leaving Mimi to stand there and stare after him.

"How long do you think it will take them to realize that we've been having an affair for the past three months?" Philip said, breaking the silence between them.

"It has to stop Philip. I told you when Shawn and I got married, it had to stop."

"Do you really want that?"

"Well, you're not going to leave Belle for me. I have a husband who wants to work things out with me now. Someone who is willing to love me for the rest of my life."

"But are you in love with him?"

"I do love him, Philip," Mimi said.

"But that's not what I asked. Are you in love with him?"

"I can be."

"Are you in love with me?"

"You know I am. But you married her. I married him. You're not going to leave your lovely trophy wife for me. I have to move on Philip. I'm calling it quits now. For good."

Mimi looked at him, stopping herself from kissing him, and walked away.

"We'll see about that Mimi. I won't let you go that easily," Philip said to himself as he walked away. He had known since before he and Belle got married that she still loved Shawn. His thing with Mimi started out as some innocent flirting and hanging out, but that soon changed when they realized they had fallen in love with each other and slept together. If he couldn't completely have Belle's heart, he would get Mimi's.
