"I feel so stupid," Belle Black said as she held up a sign with the words "Shawn D. Brady" and flashed back to earlier that morning.
~Flashback~
Hope had called Belle over to talk, but when they both sat down Belle knew that Hope wanted more of a favor.
"Shawn is coming home today Belle. I was wondering if you could pick him up at the airport," Hope said sipping her freashly brewed coffe.
"Oh," said Belle. "Why can't you pick him up?" she asked curiously.
"Well JT is also coming to visit, so I have to pick him up. And Issac is going to visit Lexie and Abe, so I have to drop him off," Hope said sounding stressed.
For the past 7 years JT and Issac had been passed from Glen and Barb, to Hope and Bo, to Lexie and Abe, and even to Stephano. Belle felt so horrible for Hope, all of this dropping off and picking up had really stressed her out.
"Well I guess I could pick him up," Belle said. Shawn had enlisted himself into the Merchant Marines once he graduated from high school. He couldn't bare to be home with his greiving mother and to be around all the chaos, so he bought his ticket and left without a second thought. Belle and Shawn had never really broken up. They hadn't seen each other since graduation, but it never failed that in every Christmas card to his parents Shawn wrote,"P.S. Say hi to Belle for me." Picking him up would be akward. Belle didn't even know if she would recognize him, or if he would recognize her.
~End Flashback~
Belle didn't know how Hope had done it, but there she stood at the window watching flight #306 land. She nervessly twirled her hair in her fingers and smoothed out the creases in her suit, awaiting "Shawn D. Brady" as the sign read.
A tall man in uniform with short brown hair spotted Belle, and headed towards her. "Hello," said the handsome officer as he dropped his bag, took off his hat, and extended his hand. Belle took it without hesitation, and replied, "Hi." "I am Shawn," the officer said wondering who this blond business woman was. "Oh my god!" Belle said realizing it really was Shawn, and pulling him into a hug said, "It's so good to see you."
By the look on Shawn's face Belle knew that he had not recognized her. She waited for a moment to see if he would say anything. "It's Belle," she finally said. "I knew you looked familiar," said Shawn giving her another quick hug, then picking up his bag, and replacing his hat on his head, motioned for Belle to show him to way to the car.
"Your mom had to pick up JT and drop Issac off, so she asked if I could swing by after work and get you on my way home," Belle said after the long silence, as she pulled off the highway and through the busy streets of downtown Salem. "Oh," said Shawn, as he entensively looked out the car window to see how things had changed. "So, would you like to get something to eat?" Belle asked hoping that some food would make Shawn a little more talkative. "Sure," Shawn said as they pulled into the 'Brady Pub' parking lot.
The two got seated right away, on account of knowing the owner. "This place is exactly the way I remember it," said Shawn after he ordered his regular. "So, how are you Belle Black? Or is it something else?" Shawn asked sipping his coke. "Nope, still Black, and I am doing well. I am president of 'Basic Black,' and living on my own," Belle said, happy that Shawn had started the conversation for once. "Wow, you have done really well for yourself. So how is everyone else? Mimi, Chloe, Phillip, Brady?" Shawn asked trying to think of soemthing else to say. "they are all wonderful," said Belle, "Mimi and Phillip are living together actually. And you may find this hard to believe but Brady and Chloe are married." "Married!" Shawn said in astonishment. "Yep. The tour the country singing opera together, and they are even thinking of starting a fmaily together," Belle said looking into Shawn's chocolate brown eyes. "Wow. Mimi and Phillip?" Shawn looked surprised. "Yep. They have been seriously been dating for about 6 months," Belle said smileing. "So it seems that everyone is settled down here. So why is it that you arn't married?" Shawn asked Belle. "Well..." Belle started.
