Long Lost Love Come Home Ch. 50

"Shawn..." Belle whispered. Shawn's eyelids fluttered for a moment before opening. Shawn stared up into Belle's crystal blue eyes. She had rested her chin on Shawn's muscular chest and had been mesmerizing herself with thoughts of the future.
"Belle? What is it, what's wrong?" Shawn asked, knowing that it was out of the ordinary for Belle to wake him in the middle of the night.
"Nothing is wrong Shawn, I was just thinking," Belle said, as she folded her hands, and balanced them under her chin.
Shawn sat up slightly, and balanced a pillow behind his back. "I see, and what is it that you are thinking about?" Shawn asked, taking his fingers and twirling random pieces of Belle's hair with them.
"I was just thinking that my time in Paris is almost over. And I still haven't given you the royal tour. So I was thinking..." Belle began.
"You were thinking what? That I would call up my boss and tell him that I am sorry that I will not be able to work for the next nine months because my girlfriend wants to show me Paris," Shawn teased.
"Well, actually, yes. At least that is what I was hoping for," Belle confessed.
"Baby, I want you to show me Paris too, but I have to work. When my commanding officer offered me my position, he told me that I would have to be willing to go above and beyond the call of duty. I agreed, and now I have to follow through," Shawn lectured.
"How long exactly is this 'position' as you call it going to last. I mean should I expect you to be in the delivery room?" Belle asked, as she began to pick herself up off the warm hard-wood floor.
"Belle, don't be like that. You know that you and this baby are very important to me. I am going to be there, I just can't be there all the time, exactly when you want me," Shawn said, as he gently pulled Belle back on top of him, resting her body on his.
"You still didn't answer my question. How long does this last?" Belle pressed on.
"Well, technically I can quit whenever I want, if that answers your question," Shawn admitted.
"So then you can come with me," Belle concluded, a conquering smile over taking her face.
"But that doesn't mean that I want to quit. I have invested a lot of time and effort into my military career to just throw it away. It is very important to me," Shawn said, forcing Belle's confident expression to turn to one of defeat. "Belle, you are very important to me too, and so is the baby. If the situation was reversed and the military was asking me to give up you two, then I would say the exact same thing."
"Shawn, I know that the Marines are important to you, it makes up a big part of you, and since I love every part of you, I do on some level love that part of you too. I'm not asking you to give it up. I just want you sometimes and it is going to be hard for me to understand that I can't have you sometimes when i really need you."
Shawn studied Belle as she confessed her true feelings about his complicated career. He knew that she was only pointing out the obvious that he could very well miss the own birth of his child because of his job. He also knew that she was being truthful in the fact that she didn't want him to give anything up for her, or to throw away his career.
"Shawn...are you going to say anything?" Belle asked once she had finished her declaration, and Shawn still starred at her without saying a word.
Shawn stood up from his crouched position, and then held his hand out to Belle, who was still sitting on the floor. "Yeah, let's go to bed."
Belle smiled gingerly and took Shawn's large palm that was extended towards her.
