Prologue
I had to go, I just couldn't take it anymore...It's hard..really hard..and I know that it is going to get worse. If only I
had someone...besides the girls..someone that actually loves me,..I did at one point..my family...I can remember
the first day of kindergarten, I would get home, by the bus, and sure enough, as soon as I turn the doorknob to
my beautiful home they'd be waiting for me, with smiles that would brighten up anyone's day, and through grade
school, same thing,
Even though when I got home from High School, they weren't waiting for me at the door, cause of work, I still felt
it, felt the amazing love they gave me...Mom and Dad. They loved me so much, and of course I loved them, I still
do...I lost my parents on May 15, 1999...they were in a horrible car accident involving a transport truck..and got
killed on the spot.... The girls were born on May 25, 1999, and Mom and Dad didn't even get to see them....and
they were so excited for me....They were so good to me and gave me so much love, and I want the same for
Amy-Elizabeth and Ally, my babies are just so precious to me and I don't want to lose them, that's why I had to
get away from that horrible house...I was living in fear..and still am..but It's not so bad now...except for the fact
that I'm living on the streets with two, two year olds, with no money, and no food, at least their away from
him...their dangerous father...MY husband.... oh how I wish that he would greet me as my wonderful parents
did..instead of a hug, kiss and I love you, I got a "where's supper?!"a slap, a punch and a kick. He threw me
around like I was a rag doll..I was so afraid that he'd hit the girls, but everytime he tried I got in the way...Sure,
when I went out to get grocery's out of the 40 dollars a week that he doesn't spend in lottary tickets, cigarettes,
and beer, I would get stares from strange people, because of the marks on my face...I still do...this is our third day
on the street...We have nowhere to stay..Mi-Mi and Jason moved away..far away..like Australia, Far, Phillip is
gone too, Chloe shes gone to opera school. I didn't tell any body about Cole, my husband...they'd worry to
much.....I know I should have though...but if you put yourself in my position, it's hard...what if Cole found out I
told, I don't want him to hurt the girls, I don't care about myself anymore...I really don't feel well, I'm trying to stay
awake ..I just feel so weak..I can't fall asleep...I'm too worried to fall asleep..what if some one comes...what if he
comes. We're under some steps, that looks like apartment steps, in an ally... I just have to pray..pray for some
help, some money...just something.
Chapter One
Shawn Brady walked into his new apartment in Salem US, sure it was a little un-classy, but it's just a place to stay
while he is home, from sea.
.Him and his parents had moved from their hometown in Salem, When Shawn was 4 years old, to
Wisconsin...where Hope and Bo still live..Shawn joined the Merchant Marines after high school and is still
working there at the age of 24. He decided to come back to Salem when not working, and plus his grandparents
live there.
He threw his suitcase on the floor by the door and plopped down on the couch, exhausted from the plane ride.
‘Home' he thought, well at least it was home, until his holidays were over, in two months.
He reached for the remote on the coffee table and flicked on the Tv, as he was flicking through the channels, he
thought he heard a noise,. Shawn quickly turned off the TV and listening carefully, it was a noise ‘ it sounds like
crying' Shawn thought as he walked over to the window, and saw a woman, and what it looked like to be a child
and a man...but there was something wrong the woman was crying.
He went outside on the back step, that had iron stairs leading down to the Alley
"No Please, don't hurt her...Please give her back" Belle sobbed as she tried to get Amy-Elizabeth away from the
strange man.
"Step..any closer lady, and..." the man dragged his finger across the little girls throat, while holding a knife in the
other hand
"NO...Please....NO" Belle said helplessly
"Shut up and give me all of your money" The Man said "Or I'll take your another Brat"
Belle quickly looked over at her other sleeping angel, Ally, who was sleeping peacefully under the stairs on a pile
of blankets, than looked back at Amy-Elizabeth, who was crying in the mans arms
"Stop, it your hurting her" Belle cried
"MONEY...NOW"
"I d-don't have any" Belle said scared to death for her babies
"I don't believe you..you must have something"the man hissed
"I-I don't..Honest" she said
"Fine...You'll just have to do" he smiled sickly
"W-what" Belle trembled
The man just dropped Amy-Elizabeth, making her land hard on the pavement and moved towards Belle
"No...Amy...Move" She tried to push her way past the man to attend to Amy-Elizabeth, but he grabbed her
"Let me go" Belle screamed over Amy's crying
"Yeah..and what are you going to do about it little lady" the man laughed
"Let her go" a voice was heard as well as footsteps coming down the stairs,which woke Ally up, she started to
cry.
"What" the man said stunned
"I said LET HER GO!!!" Shawn stepped by the man and Belle and pushed the man away..Belle quickly ran
towards Amy.
"Bad move Buddy"The man snarled,he got ready to charge at Shawn but Shawn just reached into his pocket,
pulled out his cell phone and said "One Word....Police"
"Damn you...."The man ran off down the Alley
"Are you okay Mam" Shawn asked walking over to Belle
Belle sat there rocking Amy in her arms crying "Y-yes..but my baby shes bleeding"
Shawn looked at Amy, she had a little gash on her head, and a few scraps on her arms."I don't think it needs
stiches, is doesn't look that big," he said in a caring voice
"Is that your baby over there to?" he asked pointing under the stairs
"Oh my god...Ally I forgot about Ally" She got up with a still crying Amy in her arms and ran over to tend to a
now screeching Ally. "Shh baby it's okay..Mommy's here.."
"You want some help?" Shawn asked going over by Belle
"Umm... yeah..if you don't mind" Belle said softly
"Of course not" Shawn picked up Ally from the pile of blankets and rested her on his arm "come up to my
apartment to get your baby, cleaned up...you know her cuts"
‘What am I supposed to say' she though, She rally didn't want to, she was not ready to trust anyone rite now,
known another strange man ‘But he's also a "strange man that just saved you and the girls,' she thought "If you
don't mind" They grabbed the little bit of clothing and things Belle had.
"Come on" Shawn walked up the stairs followed by Belle and they entered his apartment.
With Ally in one arm he picked up his suitcase and hauled out his first aid kit and motioned for Belle to sit on the
couch with him. She did

45 min later

Everything was pretty much quite during the time when Shawn was washing Amy's cuts, except for the exception
that the girls were crying their hearts out...after that was finished...Shawn and Belle both settled the girls
down...Ally was asleep in Belles arms...and Amy-Elizabeth was asleep in Shawn's, they had both switched girls.
"There, all quiet again"Shawn said as he laid Amy-Elizabeth by the side of Ally on the couch, which he pulled out
into a bed.
Belle and Shawn walked into the kitchen and sat at the table across from each other
"Oh..I forgot to tell you my name...it's Shawn Brady"he smiled
"I'm Belle Richardson......- I mean Black." she tried to smile back,
"You know I never got the chance to thank you earlier...if you hadn't of came to our rescue...Amy and Ally..could
have been killed"Belle chocked out the last word..as she started to cry again
"Hey" Shawn said moving into the chair next to Belle and putting an arm around her shoulder "Their okay...it's
okay......your okay"
"But..what if" Belle sobbed
"No ifs, ands, or buts about it" Come here " Shawn helped belle put an arm around her and they both walked
over to the doorway leading into the living room "Look at them...two little angels..sleeping....their fine" Shawn said
trying his best to comfort her
"I just love them so much...I don't want to lose them"
"Hey...come here "Shawn pulled her into a hug and held her why she cried a little more
than something hit Belle ‘Why am I here...I have to get out of here..what if he hurts me....No..NO Belle he's not
going to hurt you he's not Cole..he's not like Cole...but I still have to go' "I think I'd better go now" she pulled
away from Shawn
"But...where will you go"he asked
Belle didn't know what to say "Umm.."
"Listen I know you don't have a place to stay"he said "So why don't you stay here.." He asked..Shawn knew he
probably shouldn't of, but there was just something about this girl..something different
"No..No I couldn't" she said walking over to the girls...We'll just stay outside again"
"Okay..that sounds good too...I'll go get some more blankets..so there will be enough for all of us" he headed for
the bedroom
"What" Belle asked
"Well, two blankets isn't enough for me you and the girls"
"No...No way are you staying out there too." Belle said disapprovingly
"But what if you fall asleep and that man comes back?"he asked
"Thats what happened before "She said
"My point exactly" Shawn pointed out
"Fine..I'll stay here...it's no point in you staying outside too." she said giving in "I know I won't change your mind
anyways"
Shawn smiled "see you know me already"
Belle actually smiled back..the first real smile, that had formed on her face in two years..and it felt good...really
good...the vibe that she was getting from this beautiful man was not a bad vibe at all..in fact it was wonderful..it
made her feel special
"Well.it is getting late and you look pretty tired....I don't have a bed yet all I have is the couch..bed thingy..so I
guess you can sleep there with Amy and Ally " Shawn said
"But where will you sleep?" she asked concerned
"On the floor"he simply answered
"No way..Mr.Brady..this is your home and your not sleeping on the floor...listen theres lots of room on the couch
bed, you can sleep there with us...I mean that is if you don't mind"
"I don't mind..I just thought that you..."
"Of course not Mr.Brady...after all you did save our lives" she said
"Please..call me Shawn" He said "So it's settled were sleppin on the couch bed."
"Yup"
"You can go take a shower or whatever...if you want..you know just to freshen up...I'll stay here with the girls"
"Thats very sweet of you Mr....Shawn I think I'll do that"she smiled and walked towards the bathroom...picking
up her bag on the way in.

15 min later

Shawn was lying in his boxers covered up by a few blankets..he was just staring at the girls ‘they must be twins,'
he thought...'they're both so beautiful..like their mother'
He was startled when he heard Belle talk "Are you asleep"
"No..No I'm just looking at them" Shawn said nodding toward the babies. "They look so much like you..their so
pretty"
"Thank you" she smiled and sat down on the edge of the bed..She was wearing a Blue tank top and pajama
shorts. "So you just about ready to go to sleep?"
"Yup...you wanna sleep inside by the girls?" he asked getting up off the couch
"Yeah thats probably for the best"She slid in beside the girls, trying not to wake them
Shawn went over and turned of the lights ‘he's so perfect' Belle thought as she watched him walk back over ..the
moonlight shining in through the window. He laid down next to Belle.and turned to her
"Goodnite Belle" he said sweetly
"Thanx again Shawn" she said
"Hey don't mention it...you know you can kind of call it fate...yeah FATE ..it's fate."
Belle just smiled as both of them drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
