Steph continued to pack her bags; she had decided she needed to get away from everything. Now that Hunter was back she knew she couldn't stay, the only thing that concerned her was how she would explain this to Shawn, how could he understand. Stephanie went back to packing, as much as she hated lying to him it was for the best.

"What are you doing" Asked Hunter coming inside the room

"I'm leaving"

"What" Said Hunter

"I can't stay here, I'm going to my parents" Stephanie zipped up the bag and made her way to the door, she was stopped by Hunter who gripped her arm tightly.

"Your not going anywhere" Said Hunter

"Get your hands off me" Said Steph pushing him away from her

"No you can't leave me here with Shawn"

"Yes I can, maybe now you'll know how I felt when you left me" Shouted Steph

Shawn pulled his key out the door, it had been a long day at work he was so relieved when his shift was over. Shawn shut the door and pulled his coat off, he stopped hearing shouting coming from the bedroom, it sounded like Hunter and Steph. Shawn quietly made his way towards the bedroom and stood behind it, he didn't know what was going on, however needed to find out.

"If you leave what the hell is Shawn gonna think" Said Hunter throwing his arms up in the air, he wished he wasn't in this position; it was starting to give him a real headache.

"Shawn will understand I need some time away from everything" Said Steph clutching her bag, she was a little scared of Hunter right now, he was pissed off and that is never a good thing. She knew all about his temper, she had been in the wrong place many times before, and she felt she was in the same position again.

"You think going to your parents will make everything better……Steph you'll still be pregnant and hell if the Baby is mine"

Shawn was about to walk in until he heard about the Baby, Shawn felt his throat tighten as he tried to swallow the lump in his throat. Shawn wasn't sure what he just heard, could it be real or just some cruel joke. Shawn placed his hand on the wall as he tried to keep his balance, he was hurt, angry and betrayed by the two people who he really cared about, and the only people he truly trusted. Shawn quickly made his way towards the front door; he needed to leave before he did something he may regret.

"Did you hear something?" Asked Hunter they both looked at each other, Hunter quietly opened the bedroom door and looked outside; he was convinced he heard someone in the apartment. Hunter looked around he couldn't see anyone.

"Well……." Asked Stephanie resting her hands on her swollen abdomen, she was getting bigger now the Baby was growing.

"Nothing……." Hunters expression had changed it was a lot softer now, he didn't want her to leave, god things would go from bad to worse for them. Shawn would be asking questions, he knew how wrong it was, Shawn had no clue of there sin, but wasn't it better to keep quiet rather than hurting him.

"Look I'm gonna take a walk………just please don't leave" Pleaded Hunter, he knew she was trying to do what was best but leaving, it would only make things harder and Hunter couldn't let that happen. Stephanie watched him shut the door behind him, she wondered where Shawn was, and usually he was home by now.

Shawn left the bedroom once he had heard the front door shut, he hoped he could be alone for a while; he certainly needed some space after what he'd heard. Shawn made his way to the living room he was going to need a stiff drink, he stopped in his path when he saw Stephanie sitting on the Sofa, he wished she wasn't here because Shawn wasn't sure what he might do.

"Shawn I wasn't expecting you to be home I thought you'd where still at work I didn't here you come in" Said Steph "How long have you been back"

"Not long" Answered Shawn he clenched his fists tighter as he thought about the Baby possibly not being his, he wasn't sure if he could deal with his wife right now.

"Oh well I'll start dinner" Stephanie tried to pull herself up before Shawn stopped her; he had his hand gently on her arm.

"That won't be necessary" Said Shawn swallowing hard, he knew he could snap at any minute, he had to know the truth as painful as it may be, he had to know he was the Father of the Baby. "I need to talk to you about something"

"Shawn is everything ok" Stephanie touched his arm; she looked into his eyes she knew something was wrong, she could always read her husband well. Shawn cleared his throat as he began to loosen his tie; he wasn't sure how to say this however he had to know.

"It's about the Baby…….I…..you love me right" Asked Shawn

"What…..Shawn you're my husband of course I love you"

"And I satisfy you sexually right" Said Shawn looking at the floor, he hated to have to do this he loved her, but hated her for what she may have done.

"…..Yes"

"So you wouldn't cheat on me say with………Hunter" The compassion had gone in his voice now, Stephanie couldn't answer she just couldn't face this, it was too soon the Baby hadn't even been born yet.

"I….I…..don't know what your talking about"

"Save it…….I don't want to hear it…I know" Answered Shawn standing up, he went to the window watching the rain pelt against the window.

"How" Asked Stephanie, she held her stomach tightly as tears began to well up in her eyes, she blinked letting a tear roll down her cheek.

"I heard you before with Hunter he said the Baby could be his, I didn't want to believe you could do that to me, but looking at you right now I know it's true"

"I never wanted to hurt you Shawn"

"Was it just one time or where you having an affair" Asked Shawn pacing the living room

"We…..where together more than once" Admitted Steph putting her head down, she was ashamed of what she had done; she just wished she'd realized sooner.

"So when did it happen……when I was at work putting food on our table you where in bed with my best friend" Said Shawn he could feel his anger well up inside of him, the thought of his wife with Hunter was almost too much to bear, and the look on Stephanie's face only fueled it even more.

"I can't even look at you right now you make me sick, I should have known Hunter would do this, the guy can't keep his dick in his pants. How stupid of me to think he could change and Stephanie I though you were smarter than that" Said Shawn coldly

Hunter made his way up the stairs he needed to get away for a while; Hunter hoped Stephanie would change her mind about leaving. Hunter opened the door, it was odd that the door wasn't locked he went inside, Shawn was watching him while Steph had her head down, Hunter felt extremely uncomfortable he could sense the tension in the room, he was almost afraid to ask. Stephanie looked up at him he knew something was very wrong, Shawn looked pissed she was crying.

"He knows" Stuttered Steph

"Knows what" Asked Hunter looking at Shawn he had a feeling, things where about to get very ugly.

"About us"

Shawn looked at Hunter his usual cocky aura had gone; he didn't look so big right now.

How could you do this to me" Shouted Shawn "I trusted you and you repay me by sleeping with my wife" Hunter just looked anywhere but at Shawn, he couldn't look him in the eye.

"You bastard" Shawn punched Hunter making him fall back; blood began to pour from Hunters nose as he used his hand to cover it. Stephanie pulled herself up.

"Shawn don't please" Begged Steph she didn't like where this was leading, Shawn was so riled up right now who knows what he was capable of right now.

"Stay away from me" Shouted Shawn "Both of you can get out of my apartment; I can't look at either of you right now"

Hunter pulled himself up off the floor, he grabbed a jacket and got the hell out of there, he never thought he'd be so glad to leave the apartment.
