Shawn and Belle Fan Fiction.  Section One: Letting Down the Walls
Chapter Two

Chapter Two
     "SHAWN!" they heard someone yell outside.  They both jumped, bumping heads.  "Nice move, Shawn!" Belle said.  "If I get a headache, it's your fault".  "Whatever, slick" he said, pulling her off the counter.  "Help me clean up this mess".  "Me?" she asked.  "You started it by putting choclate on me".  "You threw the flour though, and that's what all the mess is" he said, pointing at the stove.  "But I'm the guest" Belle said.  "And you're supposed to make sure that my visit is enjoyable".   Shawn stared at her for a minute and then smiled.  "Ok" he said.  "I'll clean up".  He quickly wiped up the flour and then turned to her.  "Ready to eat, princess?" he said.  "What are you talking about Shawn?" she answered him.  Shawn bent over and picked her up.  He threw her over his shoulder and started out the door.
    "Shawn, put me down right now!  I mean it!" she shouted, as they walked into the backyard.  Everyone looked at them and laughed.  "Shawn, what are you doing to the poor girl?" Hope asked.  "Mom, she said that she was the guest and that I should treat her like one.  So I am" he said, walking over to a large lounge chair.  He sat her on it and she immediately jumped up and went to join the others.  "Nope" he said, catching her and putting her back.  "I'll get your food, you just relax".  Belle looked over at the others, a little embarrassed.
     "Take advantage of it" Hope said, laughing at the two of them.  So Belle shrugged and sat back down in her chair.  Shawn came back a few minutes later juggling two full plates.  He handed her one and then pulled two cans of soda out of his pocket.  "This is Pepsi" she said, handing it back to him, just to test him.  "I wanted Sprite".  Everyone looked over to see Shawn's reaction.  "Alright" he said, taking it back and walking away.  He then came back and threw himself on the ground by her feet.  "Shawn, we can share" she said, sitting up.  "Are you sure?" he asked.  "Yeah, don't be silly" she said, and he sat down next to her.  Marlena looked over at the two who were squeezed together on the small seat but obviously not minding.  She watched as Shawn quickly devoured everything on his plate and whatever was left on Belle's.  They talked quietly to each other, not arguing at all she noticed.  Hope slid into the seat next to her.
      "So, Marlena, do you have any big plans for the summer?" she asked.  "Not yet" Marlena answered.  "We were hoping to get to the beach sometime but we haven't set a date yet.  How about you?".  "We were talking about something like that too, we still have some time before this baby makes his appearance" Hope answered.  "There are some great housese you can rent right on the beach".  "They're so big though" Marlena said.  "It's even more fun if you go in a large group".  Hope jumped up and grabbed her arm.  "I have an idea!" she said.  "Let's go together.  C'mon, it'll be so much fun.  We can go swimming and go out to eat and it will be a blast.  We'll invite Gran and Eric and Greta to come along.  And it'll give them the perfect opportunity to get together" she continued, pointing at Shawn and Belle.
     "Well, that sounds wonderful" Marlena said.  "John, what do you say?"  John shrugged.  "Sounds great" he said, simply.  "Bo?".  "Whatever my Faney Face wants, she can have" Bo said.  "Great!" Hope said, getting up from the table.  "Hey, you two want dessert?" she yelled out.  Belle and Shawn looked up and hurried over.  Mrs. Horton came out a minute later carrying the cake.
     "I'm impressed, son" Bo said.  "Did you do that yourself?"  "Yep" Shawn said.  Belle frowned at him.  "Well, actually, Belle helped some".  "It turned out perfect," Marlena said, smiling at them.  "Almost perfect" John said, as he pulled a long blonde hair out of the icing.  Shawn started to laugh.  "I'm sorry, I don't knowhow that got there" Belle said, blushing and elbowing Shawn.  "It's ok, dear, that can be your piece" Mrs. Horton said, cutting the cake.  They sat down to eat.
     "Shawn, hun, how do you feel about going to the beach when school lets out?" Hope asked.  "What about the baby?" Shawn asked.  "And didn't day say he wanted me to get a job?"  Bo laughed.  "It'll only be for 2 weeks, you can get one after we get back" he said.  "And about the baby, we have some time before it's born and it'll be good for your mom to get away and relax".  "Well, then yeah, of course" Shawn said, returning to his cake.  "How would you feel about us joining you?" John asked.  "Does that include her?" Shawn asked, pointing to Belle.
      "Dad, don't I get a say in this?" Belle asked.  "Well, yeah, but we assumed that since you love the beach so much you would jump at the chance to go" Marlena said.  "Well, I can handle it if he can" she said.  "I'm an adult, I can deal" Shawn answered.  "Greta and Eric, we would be happy if you two would come along with us," Hope said.  "I'd love to, I'm sure I can arrange it" Eric said.  "I wouldn't want to be a bother," Greta said.  "Not at all!" Hope answered.  "I'd love to go then," Greta said, smiling.  "It's settled then," Hope said.  "And you'll be joining us too, of course, right Gran?".  Mrs. Horton smiled.  "I wouldn't miss it for the world" she said.  Shawn took another bite of his cake.
     "Maybe this is my chance" Shawn thought to himself.  "If I can get Belle away from all the distractions of Salem and spend time with her, I can show her that I have feelings for her.  Either way, it'll be fun.  Gran's right-I wouldn't miss this opportunity for the world".
