So sorry for the wait. I’ve been at the beach for a while and just got back. Here’s Ch.7 and I will keep them coming. Enjoy
Chapter 7
Belle was starting to become frantic. Shawn had not come home last night nor had he phoned to say where he was. All sorts of thoughts went through her head as she dialed Shawn’s number for the umpteenth time.
“d**n it…still no answer.” Belle said. She was becoming more frustrated at the way she was feeling. She had some worry that Shawn might have got into an accident or something but she didn’t feel like anything was wrong. Most of her worry was that Shawn was with Mimi.
“I know that Mimi and I are trying to build back a friendship…but I just don’t think that is going to happen if she is planning on taking Shawn away from me again.” Belle said thinking aloud.
“I thought her going away would be the answer to my problem…and I even thought when she came back it would be alright because Shawn was over her!” Belle said becoming more and more angry.
“Ok Belle…just calm down…you don’t even know if he is with Mimi he could have stayed at his parents house and just forgot to call…yeah, yeah that’s it, he is at his parents and he is going to come home anytime now and it will all be okay.” Belle said trying to calm herself. She just hoped that she was right.

Shawn opened his eyes and looked around to see where he was; as soon as his eyes adjusted he realized he was at Mimi’s. Suddenly the night before came rushing back to him but instead of feeling regret he felt…perfect. He looked over and saw Mimi asleep and sprawled out all over the bed, one leg this way, one arm thrown that away. He shook his head and let out a small laugh. ‘She hasn’t changed a bit’ Shawn thought as he kept looking at her. How anyone could be that hard of a sleeper was beyond him, Mimi could sleep through anything and would have most of the bed on the floor when they would wake up. Shawn smiled remembering how some nights he would wake up with no covers because Mimi would fling them all on the floor, but he didn’t care because that was one of the things he loved so much about her, she wasn’t perfect…but she was real.
Mimi slowly woke up and rubbed her eyes. She looked over to find Shawn smiling at her and the memories of last night started coming back to her.
“Watching me sleep are you Brady?” Mimi said sheepishly
“Actually yes, I was.” Shawn said with a smile. “and I see you my dear haven’t changed one bit on your ‘sleeping’ methods.”
“Oh right.” Mimi said looking on the floor the see most of her bedding down there. “Well you know…who am I for change right?” Mimi said smiling.
“Well why don’t you go change and I will go make breakfast.” Shawn said leaning in for a small kiss.
“I’d say…I’ll meet you down there in half an hour.” Mimi said as Shawn rose to go make breakfast.
Mimi strolled in the kitchen and saw Shawn hard at work on pancakes. She no longer had that feeling of regret or the feeling of knowing it was wrong, she felt like things were back the way they should be. She just hoped Shawn was feeling the same way.
Shawn looked up and saw Mimi looking more beautiful than he had ever saw her. She was dressed in jeans with her favorite shoes and when he looked at her top he saw that it was the one he bought her just before their divorce. He remembered how clueless he was in shopping for stuff like this but he knew Mimi would think it was the sweetest thing ever. So with help from some teenagers he found in the store he decided on a red v-neck cashmere sweater and even bought her a necklace to go with it.
“Mimi…you look so gorgeous.” Shawn said
“Thank you…you know this is the first time I have worn this. When we got a divorce I just put it away because it made me cry every time I looked at it… Just knowing that you attempted to go into a women’s store and pick something out for me had to have been the sweetest thing ever.” Mimi said with a slight chuckle.
“Well it was my pleasure. I wanted to do something nice for you other than just make dinner or something. I figured that was more…personal; and now that we are working things out I’m glad that you decided to wear it finally.” Shawn said still staring at her.
“Yeah…I’m glad I decided to too. Shawn I think we need to talk about us and what this really is.” Mimi said
Shawn fixed both of the plates and they both sat down for breakfast.
“You want to know what I think this is…I think this is…heaven. Being back with you these last few weeks and especially last night…I have never been happier. I know we are supposed to be together and I know you know that also.” Shawn said confidently
“Your right…I do want us to be together. I want Jake to be raised by you and me. I want us to be Mr. and Mrs. Shawn Brady again. I want a house with you, and more children with you. I want us to be a successful relationship just like your parents.” Mimi said out of breath.
“Mimi…I want all of that and more.” Shawn said seeing a smile on Mimi’s face. “I am going to make sure that we are together so don’t worry about that. I am going to talk to Belle today and tell her everything.” Shawn said
“Oh…right...Belle…well she will certainly hate me now that I have taken you away from her again, so she will say.” Mimi said
“You don’t worry about Belle. I am still going to be the best father I can be to Claire but that is where it will end.” Shawn said “I just hope she takes it like an adult.”
Shawn and Mimi were finishing up the dishes when they heard Jake crying. “Looks like someone woke up.” Mimi said starting upstairs.
“Well I guess we will just have to tend to our son together won’t we?” Shawn said as he and Mimi walked upstairs to their son.
