The Brand New Life

Comfort

Since the fight was kind of loud Shawn and Topanga went to check on Shawn Cory. Who was still sleeping soundly.

Topanga- you are than welcome to stay the night if you want. ( Whispering)

Shawn- I don't know about that, are you sure you are ready for that again?

Topanga- I think after tonight, we could use some comfort of just being together don't you agree?

Shawn- come here (leading her by the hand to the couch)

Shawn pulls her into his lap and wraps his arms around her. Whispering in her ear just how much he missed her. Just looking deep into his eyes Topanga could see right in to his soul and all the love that she has been searching for in the six years she was gone. She pulls back a little only to place her lips on his once again and puts all of her pent up feelings that she's been going though into that one kiss. After awhile Topanga breaks the kiss and whispers for Shawn to please stay. At some point they moved from the couch to Topanga's bedroom where they ended up falling asleep in each other's arms.

Sometime in the night both father and son got up and ran into each other in the hallway. Shawn did not know how to handle dealing with his questioning son so he ran out into the night. Shawn Cory's crying woke Topanga, who got up to see what was wrong. After taking her son into her arms she rocked him till he clamed down enough to talk.

Shawn Cory- What was HE doing in your bedroom momma?

Topanga- Just sleeping baby, he wouldn't hurt me sweetie

Shawn Cory- Why can't I have a sleepover like you?

Topanga- How about we talk about it in the morning?

Shawn Cory - Ok, momma (pouting)

Topanga tucks her son back into bed and headed back to bed herself. In the morning as promised Topanga sat down with Shawn Cory about sleepovers and they come to an understanding that they both could be happy with. After dropping off Shawn Cory at school Topanga called Shawn.

Topanga- Everything ok Shawn?

Shawn- Yeah, it's just a lot coming at me, and to kind of hard to deal with you know?

Topanga- I understand Shawn, we can take things more slowly if you want, and I know that being a father throws you for a loop.

Shawn- Thank you for understanding.

Topanga- your welcome, sometime I will have to tell you how scared and confused I was when I found out, and still am.

They talked for awhile more before hanging up. And during the rest of the day Topanga found an old photo alum of the group in their younger years. While looking though the pictures she was remembering happier times and began to cry happy tears. Around three o'clock Topanga went to put up her son at school and to also talk to Mr. Feeny for advice, like he used to give when she was in school. Topanga knocks on the classroom door.

Mr. Feeny- Is that you Topanga? (Looking up and at the door)

Topanga- Yes

Shawn Cory- Hi mommy!

Topanga- Hi sweetie, can I talk to Mr. Feeny before we go home?

Shawn Cory- Sure mommy

Over the next hour or so Mr. Feeny helped Topanga understand many things that went on during her time away. Many of those things made her love Shawn even more than before. Also he helped her in knowing that she was doing the right things for her family that she hoped to gain. That night asked Shawn Cory if he wanted to see pictures that she found earlier.

Shawn Cory- Momma, do you miss your friends?

Topanga- Very much, but I miss your father the most.

Shawn Cory- Did you and daddy love each other a lot?

In answer to that question Topanga told him a more understandable story of how his parents got together, and how father treated her while together. Little did Topanga know that Shawn was on the porch listening to the story as well. As he was listening he couldn't help but be comforted by Topanga's love and faith in him. He decided right there that no matter how much being a father scared him it would be well worth it.
