"Shane, maybe it would be good if you came with us to the meeting with the Governor," Rick suggested.
"Yeah, that'd probably be good…" the raven haired man agreed and made his way into his and Vanessa's cell. She was laying on the bed like zombie while Larayne was sleeping soundly on the mattress on the floor. "Ness?" he asked, carefully taking a seat beside her on the bed, she rolled over and looked at him. "I'm gonna go with Rick and try to reason with the Governor."
There was a look in her eyes. Not the one that he'd seen in the past days. This one held fear and uncertainty. She slowly reached for his hand, she used both hands to wrap her skinny fingers around his large hand.
"Please don't," she pleaded. "I don't want you to leave…I'm sorry for everything. For yelling at you and saying what I said about Otis. I know you did what you had to and there's no way you feel good about it," she looked at him for another long moment. "Just please don't leave me. Not now, not ever."
Shane was shocked. He hadn't expected Vanessa to so easily come out of her coma. He didn't speak, but he brought his free hand to her face and smoothed back her messy, tangled hair. She closed her eyes peacefully at his touch, welcoming the warm chills that spread throughout her.
"You really don't want me to go?" she nodded rapidly. "If I stay, will you talk to me?" she nodded more.
"Anything…just please don't go," she was practically begging and he couldn't say no, not in a million years. Rick would have to go this one alone…
"I'll be right back, babe. I love you," he pressed a soft kiss to her forehead.
Vanessa knew that she didn't have long. She wasn't sure what had changed, but she knew that Shane was trying and she couldn't just let him go out there with the Governor. He'd likely kill him for the simple fact of leaving. She rose from the bed and found her brush, brushed her hair before putting it into a high pony tail, changed out of the shirt of Shane's she was wearing into a pair of dark colored jeans and a black sweater, and she put on her hiking boots. Shane walked back in as she tied the laces of her right boot. Vanessa stood and with out warning, pressed her lips to Shane's. He rested his hand in the small of her back, holding her closer to him.
Her lips were dry, and slightly rough against his. They were certainly chapped, Shane knew this because during the winter she would go through like ten things of chap stick and she'd have them everywhere! One in her car, three in her purse, one in her pocket, and like four in her office at work. And, when he'd ask, "Why do ya got so many of these damn things?" she'd look at him with a smile, before applying another coat and say, "This one's cherry, that one's strawberry, peppermint, and that one's sugar cookie."
Women, he'd find himself thinking. Them and their damn cosmetics. Although, Shane did have to admit, Vanessa was much better at keeping her makeup to a minimal. She never wore much, maybe a dash of eyeliner some mascara and little bit of something on her lips, but that was it. She didn't take four hours to get ready like most women, and he loved that.
"What was that for, Darlin'?" he asked.
"I love you Shane, and I want you to know that."
"I love you too," he replied, kissing her lips lightly. "Now that you're all dolled up and lookin' fine. Let's get to talking," he led her back over to the bed where the two of them took a seat. He pressed his hand on her jean clad thigh lovingly.
"Are you sure talking is what you wanna do?" Vanessa asked, seductively.
"Why? You got somethin' else in mind?" he asked, tilting his head a bit.
"You know I do, Mr. Walsh," she grinned and pressed her chapped lips to his ear, nipping his lobe softly. Chills licked at his spine, giving him a feeling he hadn't felt in a while.
But, he was conflicted. He could pick option a, and reply "What are you waitin' for Mrs. Walsh?" and have some fun then and there. Or, option b, "Darlin', we gotta talk about this stuff, and get it settled." Option b would mean no sex (now or probably today at all) and likely a sulky, sullen Vanessa. And one of the things he had always loved about the brunette was she had a high need for sex and knew where and when she wanted it. So, of course, Shane picked option b.
He closed the cell door and brought down the sheet that was above it before he moved back to the bed and the real fun began. They took their time, savoring the feel of their skin pressed together and the taste of one another. And after, they didn't get much time to just be lazy, they knew that they needed to be dressed, given that any time they may have to leave the prison, that and there was a knocking on the outside of their cell.
"Just a minute," Shane called as they redressed. "Who is it?"
"It's me," Beth's voice replied. "Judith's hungry."
"Why don't you watch Raynie and bring her to me if she wakes I'm gonna go sit with Beth and Judith for a while."
"Okay," Shane replied, pressing a kiss to her lips. "I love you."
"Love you too," she replied as she opened the cell. Beth was standing there, holding a fussy Judith. "I thought we could talk…we haven't done that in a while."
"That would be nice," Beth smiled happily. She truly missed her and Vanessa's conversations. The two made their way down to where they always sat as Vanessa began to feed the brown eyed baby.
"She'd probably gonna think you're her mom," Vanessa said sadly, she didn't mean it as anything against Beth, she cared for the younger girl, but she did miss her own sister.
"Or you…"
"Nah, I just feed her."
"She looks like you though."
"Only a little," looking at the baby's facial features, she could see Lori's side, the eyes, the little ears, and the small nose. But, the rest didn't look like Rick…not in the least. "This is my step daughter…" she said out loud in realization.
"Do you think so?" Beth asked, in all honesty, the group had half wondered if Shane fathered Judith.
"I'm certain of it…These lips…I know them as well as I know my own, and she has a really weird hairline…maybe I don't know, but I really think this baby is Shane's…"
"What's mine?" Shane asked as he walked into the room, holding Larayne.
"Judith…" Vanessa replied, batting her eyelashes as he looked at her in disbelief.
AN: That is my personal theory! I strongly believe that Judith is really Shane's baby…but everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I hope y'all liked it. How do you think Shane'll react to the news of being a father to two children? Please review, thanks!
