A/N: well, this is embarrassing...

After staring at her for about 5 minutes, he slowly crept up behind her and brushed her hair to the side, kissed her neck and placed his arms on either side of her. He heard her sigh and he smiled against the skin of her neck. She smiled but hid her face from him, "I hate it when you do that." He smirked and leaned toward her ear and whispered, "What? This?" he left a trail of kisses from behind her ear and to her neck.

She turned toward him and placed her hands on is chest, trying to push him away, but he held her tighter, "I'm sorry."

She rolled her eyes and kept trying to push him away, "You're always sorry."

"This time… I mean it."

Shawn rolled her eyes and pushed him away, "Prove it." She smirked as she watched him try and find the words to prove he meant what he said. As he opened his eyes to speak, he opened his mouth to speak, his phone started to vibrate in his pocket. He groaned as he read the caller ID and Shawn simply watched him as he began to smirk. He lifted the phone to her face and shook it side to side before he chucked it over the balcony.

Her eyes widened but her initial shock didnt last long. She looked over the railing and saw a bewildered man holding his head and looking around while he yelled obscenities. She laughed and looked back up at Derek, "Okay, first of all, that proves absolutely nothing. If Sarah wants to talk to you, she will. Second, uh, now you just need a new phone, again." She scoffed and pushed past him. "you cant eve say you're the same way."

He threw his head back and groaned, rubbing his hands over his face in frustration. He turned on his heel and walked inside behind her. "okay, i know that probably the best way to do it. but thats what i thought of at the time…" He trailed off and tried to think of how to explain how he was feeling about his feelings without inadvertently belittling her help. "I know I havent been the best person to be around, but I've just been really- I've been stuck in my own head, trying to recoup all of my thoughts an memory. I'm lost"

"I've been trying to understand where you're coming from, but you push me away." She rested her back on the arm rest and turned her body toward him. She watched him, but she couldn't tell what he was thinking. After a few minutes he looked up at her, "For the past weeks, I've been driving around just looking around to see if anything would come back, but nothing did. So I called Sarah, the one person I remembered, and I found out that we broke up, and weren't on the best terms, but she's pregnant too. So I wanted to see what would happen if we hung out a little. And I know that's wrong because I have you. And I'm sorry. But in a matter of days, I was thrown into a situation that was new to me. The person I thought I loved didn't make me happy anymore, but we're tied together because of her pregnancy." he paused to see if Shawn was bothered by anything he was saying but her face was blank and she looked like she was processing what he was saying, so he continued. "Now, I'm living with one of my closest friends, who's also about to burst, the media follows me around like I'm some sort of god, and I have no idea what anyone is asking me about anymore. Everything's the same, yet so different. I feel like captain America after waking up in a new time."

"Did you just compare yourself to a superhero?" she giggled and soon it turned into a full on laugh, and soon they were both laughing. After a brief laughing session, there was an awkward silence and without uttering a single word, Shawn struggled out of the couch and took him by the hand. He looked down at their hands and smiled as their fingers intertwined, "Where are you taking me?"

"Shhh." She hauled him toward the kitchen and sat him on the bar stool. "Everyday, for the past 6 almost 7 months, I would meet you in this kitchen when I come home from wherever. I would walk in and you would be eating either nachos, doritos, or MnM's, greet me with a kiss and ask me how my day was. I would complain about being the only pregnant girl in a class, the wierd looks I get and you'd change the subject by hugging me and kissing me again." She walked around the island and opened the refrigerator and grabbed a vitamin water as he tried to remember anything.

His head ached again and he placed it on the cool marble and tried to ease his inner frustration. He was actually mad at himself for not being able to remember any of it. Sighing, he lifted his head and used his hands to hold his head up. Shawn looked like she was yearning for him to remember anything… something, "No?" He shook his head and she looked dissatisfied and disappointed. She sucked in a breath and walked over to him. "C'mon." She pulled him by his hand and he stumbled behind her, "where are you taking me?" She didn't answer him and she led him into the picture hallway. Instead of explaining any of them, she just let him stare at them.

There were various pictures on the wall, it was almost like a shrine. Pictures of family outings and special occasions and holidays, like Christmas, Thanksgiving, or one of his sisters birthdays. He stopped on a picture of him and Shawn on the beach. In the picture, she had her back to him and she had the biggest smile on her face, he had his arms wrapped around her and his chin was rested on the top of her head. they looked so happy together. He looked to Shawn while he pointed at the picture, "I remember this one. Haha! I remember this!" He grabbed her face and kissed both Her cheeks, her nose, and then finally her lips. They were quick kisses that lasted about 2 seconds, they were just manifests of his sheer excitement.

Shawn giggled and watched him, he was about 2 seconds from jumping up and down and singing a victory cry. "You're insane." He stopped and looked at her. "But you love me."

"and who told you that?" She smirked as he wordlessly approached her, "you did." He leaned in and looked at her for any glimpses of hesitation from her. As he continued to close the gap between them, Shawn lifted her index finger to his lips, "I have something else to show you." He groaned and she rolled her eyes, "shut up, and c'mon."

She led him to what would soon be Haley's room. She walked in ahead of him, but he stopped and stared blankly. She looked at him and place her hand on his forearm, "Are you okay?" He nodded, "Considering…. I'm fine." Shawn let her hand slip down his arm and she walked further into the room.

Derek stood in the doorway and leaned watched Shawn run her hand across the dressed crib and walk over to the rocking chair and pick up a oversized Teddy Bear. She sat down and began to rock in the chair and look up at him, "remember anything? All of it…none?" He nodded but didn't divulge into the details.

He walked over to a book shelf and sat on the carpet and leaned against the wall and the side of the shelf. They both sat in silence and Shawn could tell by just looking at him, he was overwhelmed. He was looking down at his lap and fiddling with his thumbs and the hem of his shirt, it was something she knew he did when he was nervous or anxious. She stopped rocking in the chair and yawned. "I'm tired, I'm going to take a nap. Okay?" He made eye contact with her and gave a small smile.

He looked after her as she left the room and pulled the door behind her. He stood up from the floor and walked across the room toward the chair and sat in it. He looked around the room and sighed. As soon as Shawn had opened that door, memories rushed back to him and he became very overwhelmed and he couldn't process the feelings that hit him. He remembered picking out every piece of furniture with Shawn, he remembered painting the room. He huffed a quick chuckle when he remembered getting into a little bit of a paint war with her. Their hair was tinted pink for a couple days.

He leaned his head on the back of the rocking chair. He smiled when he thought about how they picked out the chair. It was the very last thing they picked out for that room in preparation for the baby, Haley. That still felt weird to him, saying baby. He worried about what kind of father he would be. Of coarse he had experience with his sister's kids, but he could return them because they weren't his. Everyone thought he would be a natural, but to him, it wasn't the same thing. What if after Haley was born and he had no idea what to do? What if he was a bad parent? "Shut up Derek! You're going to fine. Great, now I'm talking to myself."

"Derek!" Shawn shrieked from down the hallway. He bolted from the room and towards their bedroom, he pushed the doors open. "What ha-" he stopped in the door way and saw Shawn hunched over and clutching her stomach, he could see the pain on her face, "my water just broke! It's time." he rushed over to her and helped her out of the bed. She pointed toward the dresser and he knew what she meant. He took out a pair of her sweats, panties, and one of his black t-shirts. Despite the pain in her lower stomach, she got dressed slipped her swollen feet into a pair of flip flops while Derek pulled the sheets off the bed and put them in empty clothes basket. After she was dressed, she put her hair into a messy bun.

Derek grabbed the diaper bag from the closet. He looked around the walk in closet and scanned the shelves, "Now is not a good idea to hide from me, camera….aha!" He grabbed the camera and slipped his hand in the strap. He pointed it toward himself, "We're heading to Cedar-Sinai now." He walked toward Shawn and turned it to her, "Why is that Babe? "

"Because my water just broke and I'm going to go into labor now." She beamed. Derek smiled, "Ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."
