Belle, Shawn, Chloe, Brady, Marlena, and John made it though a few drinks and appetizers and light conversation, before they were interupted a knocking on the Black's front door.
John Black casually looked down at his designer watch. "Oh good, I was hoping that they would get here before we had dinner," John said to himself.
"Dad, who else did you invite?" Brady asked, as he accompanied his father to the door.
"Oh well, Marlena ran into Bo and Hope this afternoon, and asked them if they would like to join us, that's all," John said, as he opened the door, and greeted his two best friends.
"Well, we dropped the boys off at my parents, adn got here as soon as we could," Bo explained, shaking both John and Brady's right hands.
"They hate it when we leave them, Caroline and Shawn had to pry them off of us," Hope said, chuckling off her anxiety of leaving Zack and JT.
Hope and Bo exchanged hugs and kisses to all, and finally settled themselves on the couch, between Brady and Shawn.
"So, what did we miss?" Bo asked, taking another sip of his cold Corona.
"Well, nothing much really. Paris is going well for Belle. Brady and Chloe have decided to skip the next few tours, and stay in Salem for awhile," John explained.
"Oh that's great. Brady are you going to be at Basic Black permenently?" Hope inquired.
"Well, for the time being at least," Brady said. He was not usually shaken by anything, but you could see the nervousness in his eyes when he answered Hope's question.
"Yeah, it's going to be great to have my partner back full time," John beamed.
Once the words escaped John's mouth, he regretted it. "Ofcourse, I love having my daughter work for me," John said, glancing at Belle whom seemed unshaken by his words, as if she hadn't even been paying attention to them at all. "It will be great to have both my kids working for me," John said quickly.
"Yeah, I know what you mean," Bo said in between sips of his beer.
All eyes turned to Bo with his simple comment.
"What do you mean?" Hope asked.
Bo looked at his wife. His mouth was full of a new swig of beer. Then he looked at Shawn, who eyes grew wide. Bo realized his slip up, and swallowed, taking his time to answer.
"Oh, well...I just remember when Shawn used to work at the station when he was younger," Bo covered.
"Oh," everyone said in unison.
There was a breif awkward silence between all. The only noise coming from Brady and Chloe, who were off in their own private conversation, whispering between the two of them.
"Well, should we start dinner now?" Marlena suggested, trying to end the long silence.
All shook their head yes, but as everyone began to get up, Brady interupted.
"Ummm...before we eat, Chloe and I have some news," he said. Everyone could see his nervousness now, it was no longer confined to his eyes. As Brady set his beer down on the coaster infront of him, his hands shook, and all saw it.
Chloe brushed her hair away from her face, and avoided eye contact with the others.
Brady had now stuck his thumb in his mouth, putting his nail between his two sets of teeth, and clamped his jaw down tightly.
Chloe rubbed his back lightly.
"What is it?" John asked, as he studied Brady and Chloe's movments.
Brady took Chloe's hands. "Ok, so we have been married for about two years now..." Brady started.
Everyone looked around the room.
Brady paused. His eyes locked with Chloe's.
"Ok, what he is trying to say is..." Chloe looked at Brady again, and began to smile, then she began to laugh a little. It caught on and Brady's smile followed.
They glimpsed at each other one last time, and then their gaze strayed to the others in the room.
"We are going to have a baby," they said together.
The two proud parents-to be were beaming with pride. They stared out at the other people in the room, waiting for the news to set in.
"You mean that I am going to be a grandfather?" John asked in amazment.
"And I am going to be a grandmother?" Marlena asked, she was astonished, but she was obviously very happy, a smile crept out onto her face, and she was quickly embracing both Chloe and Brady in a single hug. "I am so proud of you two!" Marlena squealed.
John was the next on his feet. He also joined in the hug, and then singly shook Brady's hand. "Congradulations Son," He said proudly.
"May I?" He asked Chloe after hugging her, he hung his hand just above her stomache.
"Sure," Chloe said, a she beamed, and hung close to Brady, intertwining her fingers with Brady's and with her other hand, she gently pushed John's hand onto her stomach. Marlena's hand ventured it's way ontop of Chloe's.
"Oh my god Brady! Congradulations!" Belle said, embracing her brother in a tight hug.
"Thanks Belle," Brady said.
"Brady, Congrats man," Shawn said, shaking Brady's hand and patting him roughly on the back.
Once Marlena, John, Bo and Hope, had said their congradulations, they went to go prepare dinner, leaving Brady, Chloe, Belle, and Shawn alone in the living room of the penthouse.
"Chloe! Why didn't you tell me?!?!" Belle asked as she hugged Chloe tightly.
"Well Brady and I wanted to tell you together, Chloe confessed.
Once Belle let got of Chloe, Brady interupted.
"So, how do you think Dad and Marlena took the news?" Brady asked.
"They took it well, but I don't think that they will take it as well from us," Belle confessed, throwing his arm across Shawn's back.
"What do you mean?" Brady asked.
Belle's eyes widened, had she just said what she thought the had just said? It had completely slipped Belle's mind that Brady didn't have any idea about the pregnancy.
"Belle, are you pregnant?" Brady asked in a husky whisper.
Belle looked to Shawn and then to Chloe, who were both trying to avoid eye contact with both Brady and Belle.
"Ummm..." Belle mumbled, trying to by herself time.
Brady turned to Shawn.
"Shawn, did you knock my sister up?" Brady asked in that same intense whisper, pointing a shaking finger in his face as he demanded an explanation.
"Look Brady..." Shawn began.
"I can't believe you," Brady furiously whispered.
"Brady look, don't make it as if Shawn and I have just met each other and have just fallen in love alright. We have known each other as long as we can remember, alright? We have loved each other for longer than you and Chloe have even known each other. Please try not to be angry alright. I need your support now," Belle pleaded, taking both her brother's hands, and sternly asserting herself right infront of his very eyes.
"Brady, you know how hard it was for us to tell your parents, think about how hard it will be for Belle and Shawn. You know your dad will be furious. You need to be on your sister's side for this," Chloe supported.
"Did you know about this?" Brady asked, turning his furious tone to his wife.
"Brady, I am one of Belle's best friends, and she needed someone to talk to, after her fight with Shawn..." Chloe tried to defend.
"You had a fight? About the baby?" Brady asked.
He was surrounded by Belle, Shawn and Chloe in a half circle, and he just turned on his heels, depending on who he was directing his anger towards.
"Look, that has since been resolved alright. Here is the point, I need your help big brother, more than ever," Belle pleaded.
"So are you guys ready for Marlena's famous cuisine?" John teased, entering the room with another full bottle of wine from his renowned wine cellar.
Everyone looked at John.
"Did I interupt something?" John asked, lifting his eyebrow.
"Uh...No Dad, we will be right in," brady answered.
"Alright," John said leaving the two couples to sort out whatever was going on.
"Alright I will keep your secret for now, but you better tell them soon," he warned Belle.
"We will," Belle said.
"Come on Belle, let's go get some more non-alcohalic drinks," Chloe said, leading Belle off to the kitchen.
Shawn began to walked towards the dining room, but Brady caught his arm, with a forcful hold.
"Alright Shawn here's the deal, you hurt my sister, or the baby, not Belle, and not your father can stop me from hunting you down. Got it?" Brady threatened.
"First of all Brady. I know your my girlfriend's brother, and I know that you are suppossed to put the fear of God into me, but here's the thing, I have met scarier people than you. You forget that I have been in the Marines. They don't pick your name out of a hat and let you in. I had to go through some hard stuff. Second of all I would never ever hurt Belle, I love her and I am going to marry her someday. I also love my child, I love them both more than anything, alright? Thirdly, I will take your deal, but not because I am afraid of you. I am taking this deal because if I ever hurt Belle, then I don't deserve for Belle or my father to stop you from beating the hell out of me, hell, I wont even stop you," Shawn said.
"Good, now that you understand the first part of the deal, I can get through this dinner with you," Brady said, stepping toward the dining room, but this time Shawn caught Brady's arm with a forceful hold.
"First part of the deal? What's the second?" Shawn asked.
"The second part is that you marry my sister. I want you legally tied to her and to this baby. I don't want you leaving her to raise a child by herself. Also it may help my dad and Marlena to accept this if you two are married, or atleast engadged," Brady explained.
"Well, Brady, I can't agree to that second demand," Shawn said quietly, backing away from Brady.
"What? Why the hell not?" Brady asked as he took Shawn by both his arms, and made him look straight into his eyes.
"That is not my decision alright, I already asked Belle to marry me, and she said no, alright? So you would have to talk to her about that," Shawn confessed.
"Was that what the fight was about?" Brady asked, now understanding how they both dismissed it before when he asked.
"Yeah, I asked, she turned me down. What am I suppossed to do? I want to marry her Brady. I love her, but she doesn't want to marry me," Shawn said, pulling himself away from Brady, and slumped on the couch.
Brady took a momment, adn then joined Shawn on the couch.
"Did she give you a reason?" Brady asked, this time more calmly.
"Yeah, she said that she didn't want to get married because of the baby," Shawn said recollecting on his and Belle's earlier discussion.
"Did you make it seem like it was only because of the baby?" Brady asked.
"I don't know, I guess I might have," Shawn admitted.
"Alright, I am going to tell you something, but have to promise not to tell anyone else. Nobody knows about this except me and Chloe, alright?" Brady said.
"Yeah, sure I promise," Shawn promised.
"Ok, the first time I proposed to Chloe she said no," Brady admitted.
"The first time? Why did she say no?" Shawn asked.
"She was confussed, and she wasn't really sure. I mean we were both really young, and it was honestly a hard question for me to ask. When she said no, I didn't know what to do. Then later, I tol dher how I felt, adn why I wanted to get married, and she said yes," Brady said.
"Why did you want to get married?" Shawn asked curiously.
"I wanted to marry Chloe because she was and still is today my best friend. I love her more than anything, more than my parents, more than my sister, more than anything. She is my everything. I can live without everything else, except Chloe. She is the only person I want to share momments with. Momments like having children and a wedding, and whatever. Shawn, you need to dig right down to the heart of it and honestly tell Belle what is on your mind. Who knows there may be a chance for you two anyways," Brady advised.
"Thanks Brady, this really means a lot to me," Shawn said.
"Hey guys come on, the food is getting cold," John yelled at the guys.
"Alright Dad, we are coming," Brady said, throwing his arm around Shawn's shoulder. "You know it is good that we had this talk," Brady admitted.
"Yeah," Shawn said, mimicking Brady's gesture, and threw his arm around Brady's shoulder.
"John are those two coming yet?" Hope asked, as she hungrily looked at the delicious food infront of her.
"Yeah they are, are Chloe and Belle coming yet?" John asked, as he sat down at the head of the table.
"Yes they are, they were just girl talking, you know how they are," Marlena sai as she entered the dining room from the kitchen.
"Something is definatly going on with them," John admitted.
"Who? Brady and Shawn or Belle and Chloe?" Bo asked.
"All of them," John said, raising his eyebrow as buddy buddy Brady adn Shawn entered and took their places and as the giggling Chloe and Belle entered, taking their places next to them.
And so the night continued...
