Chapter 10

"BO!" Hope exclaimed breathlessly. She gazed at her husband with pure relief and smiled, "You made it!"

"Dad!" Shawn gasped. He was in absolute shock as he saw him actually standing in the doorway. He couldn't believe that his father actually came through for both of them at litterally the last minute. And even more, he couldn't believe that he had just shot Larry, when he was just inches away from killing him.

"Son!" Bo felt so relieved to see his oldest son there in front of him and was so greatful to see that he was really okay. He had been worried about his son for what felt like forever, You have no idea how good it is to find you! Thank God!" He started to race towards his son.

"I am alright Dad," Shawn quickly assured his father, "Get mom out first please!" He gazed worriedly over at his mother.

Bo nodded and turned to race over towards Hope. He suddenly started to anxiously untie his wife as he hated seeing her like this. He untied her rather quickly. She was suddenly free from all of the ropes that held her, "Oh my God, are you okay?" he asked Hope, worriedly.

"I'm okay, Brady. Thanks to you we both are," Hope smiled at him. He then reached over to give her a hug. She anxiously hugged him back tightly.

"Do you realize if you hadn't come exactly when you did, Shawn would be dead?" Hope gasped at him after she pulled away from their hug.

"Hey!" Bo smiled at her. He was so thankful his wife was okay as well as his son. He had been worried like crazy for both of them, "I always come through for my family. I came through for you last time and I came through for both of you this time."

"Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about me right now, please hurry and uncuff Shawn," Hope went quickly. She gazed worriedly over at Shawn. She had been so worried about him and had just been so scared she might really loose her son. She was so thankful that she hadn't and that he was still alive.

Bo then immediatly ran over to Shawn, but stopped and he stared at him in shock as he really got a good close look at his son, "What the hell did he do to you? If he wasn't already dead, I would kill him for all that he did!" he studied his son up and down worriedly. He then looked around frantically after a few moments, "I need to find the keys to uncuff you."

"You'd better check and make sure he isn't dead this time," Hope nodded towards Larry, "That's what got us into this mess in the first place, thinking he was dead the last time. If we had known that he was alive we could of prevented this."

Bo leaned over and began checking out Larry's body, he grinned after a few seconds, "No pulse. And he sure is definetely not breathing. Larry Welch is now finally rotting in hell where he belongs." he quickly reached into Larry's pockets, and thankfully soon found the set of keys he had been searching for.

"So you really killed him?" Shawn exclaimed. He felt rather shocked by it all still as he gazed up at his father.

"Appears that way," Bo nodded, he raced back over to Shawn, and began fiddling around with his handcuffs, "Okay. One of these million keys has got to work. They better work. Come on," he struggled with a few of them, but after a few moments Shawn finally broke free from the cuffs. Shawn could feel the blood rushing back to where his cuffs were for so long. He felt extremely relieved and beyond thankful to finally be free of them. Hope and Bo also both felt so happy to see him break free.

Bo then immediatly hugged Shawn tightly, yet he tried to be gentle due to his bruises and cuts. Bo was so thankful to finally be able to hold his son. He was so incredibly thankful for this moment that he had been longing for. They hugged each other for awhile. After a few moments Shawn could feel his mother touch his shoulder. He broke from his father and then reached over to hug his mother happily. He was so happy to know they were both going to be okay.

"Thank God you are okay, Shawn," Hope told him, a happy tear slid down her face, "We have been so extremely worried about you. We've been so scared we might loose you."

"And I am really relieved to know that you're okay mom," Shawn looked up at her, "Really relieved." They hugged each other again.

"I am just so thankful you are both okay," Bo smiled at his son and wife, "Beyond thankful." Hope smiled at him and then at her son.

"How bad does it hurt?" Bo asked his son rather worriedly after a few moments, "We really need to get you to the hospital. We need to get you there now. Can you stand?"

Hope moved a little closer, "Let's help him up." They suddenly did just that. Shawn struggled to stand up, he couldn't help but stumble as he tried. Hope quickly caught him and helped him back up.

"I guess i'm a little weak," Shawn admitted rather shakily.

"I think you need a hospital," a smile suddenly appeared on Bo's face, "And what you really need is Belle."

"Belle!" Shawn suddenly exclaimed. He felt extremely alarmed, "Oh my God! Where is she? Larry threatened her!"

Bo looked surprised, yet he was furious at the same time, "Threatened Belle? As far as I'm concerned, she's safe at John and Marlena's penthouse, waiting anxiously for you to come home to her," he looked down at Larry, "And he can't come near her or you anymore if he's dead. There's nothing for you or us to worry about anymore. And thank God for that!"

"Belle is fine, sweetie," Hope assured him, "And when she sees you, she'll be on top of the moon, so we'd sure better get out of this place!"

"I couldn't agree more with that," Bo agreed. He couldn't help but suddenly smile, "Let's get out of this hell whole!"

"Yes," Shawn had the happiest smile on his face as he was finally free. "Let's go home... home to Belle. I can't wait to see her!" with that they all three walked out of the room. Shawn was in the middle of his parents, both of their arms were wrapped around him. He swore he had never before felt so at peace. Larry Welch was finally unable to hurt them and he was no longer a threat to him or any of his loved ones. Finally his mother was free. Finally he was free of this all.

And he was so happy to know that his father, their hero had rescued them.
