| CHAPTER 15 Note (I know it�s suppose to be around Christmas time but since I basically stopped writing this fan fic for a while I�ve decided to just work around it.) A Few days have pasted and Bo is able to bring Hope back home to Salem. ~ Brady Home ~ Bo comes walking down the stairs and is headed towards the kitchen when the door bell rings. He turns and opens it. �Hi son.� �Pop I�m so glad you�re here.� Bo quietly stated wrapping his arms around him. �How�s Hope? Shawn asked as he makes his way over to the couch. �She�s upstairs sleeping at the moment.� He thinks for a moment �How�d you find out?� �Patrick called Jennifer and she called me.� Bo joins him on the couch. �Pop I was so scared� I don�t think I�ve ever been this scared�that and I felt so helpless, there my wife was lying in my arms possibly losing our baby and I couldn�t do a thing to stop it.� �Son the most important thing is you were there for her no matter what the outcome was.� He gets up and starts to pace. �That�s just it Pop. I shouldn�t have been there because she shouldn�t have been there. I don�t know maybe if I never took off to Europe with Billie in the first place none of this would be happening now. The doctor said it was stress and who stresses her out more then anybody? � ME that�s who. I take off with Billie because I have this knee jerk reaction to protect her� and I don�t even know why.� He looks up the stairs. �Fancy Face has been telling me for months now that Billie will do anything to destroy our marriage and I�ve been basically blowing her off. I tell her she�s crazy that Billie could never come between us because I love her and that will never change.� He walks back over to the couch and sits down. �I�ve always been told actions speak louder then words.� He looks at his dad. �If she would have lost that baby it would have been nobodies fault but my own.� �It�s about time you started realizing just what it is you�re doing to my mother.� Shawn D stated walking through the door slamming it behind him. Bo walks over to him and tries to give him a hug but Shawn D pushes him back. �Where�s mom?� �She�s upstairs sleeping and from the smell of you, you don�t need to be anywhere near her.� �I�m not drunk dad.� �No, but you have been drinking.� Bo places his hand on Shawn D shoulder. �Why don�t you let me drive you home, so you can take a shower and change your clothes.� Shawn pushes his dads hand off his shoulder. �I came here to see my mom, not to be babysat by the likes of you.� Shawn SR. stands up. �Don�t talk to your father like that.� �Don�t worry Grandpa I really have no reason to talk to him at all.� He states making his way towards the stairs. Bo stands in front of him. �I�m sorry son but the last thing your mother needs is more stress and you going up there to see her smelling like a brewery isn�t going to help matters.� Yelling. �Get out of my face dad.� �You�re going to wake your mother and she doesn�t need to know you�re here.� �Shawn� Zack screams racing down the stairs and right into his arms. �Hey little buddy, what�s been happening?� �Mommy�s sleeping. I was reading her my Doctor Seuss book and she fell asleep.� Zack looks back at Bo. �Daddy how come mommy was crying when I was reading to her?� Bo takes Zack from Shawn. �You know what partner why don�t you and Grandpa Shawn go into the kitchen and get some milk and cookies.� �Can Shawn come with us daddy?� Bo hands Zack to his pop. �Maybe next time.� �Bye bye Shawn.� Zack yells and waves. �I love you Zack.� Shawn D replied back. �If you love him why don�t you try showing it a little more.� Sarcastically. �Oh the way you show mom how much you love her by running around the countryside while playing house with Billie Reed? How is Georgia anyway� still dead?� He smacks himself in the head. �Oh wait that�s right she�s not dead she�s alive.� Very angrily. �What she is, is you�re sister and you will not talk about her that way.� �Fine dad I�m sorry. I won�t say anything bad about my father�s slut of a girlfriends bastard daughter ever again.� �Do you think you�re funny Shawn D?� �A laugh a minute.� He joked starting to go up the stairs. �Stop it right there.� Bo yelled very loud and distinctively. �You are not going up there and that�s finally.� Shawn stopped dead in his tracks and turned around. �It so isn�t worth it.� �Go home, shower, change your clothes, change your attitude, sober up and you can come back and see your mother.� Shawn didn�t say a word as he walked over to the door, opened it, stood there for a second and then closed it behind him. �Bo son.� Shawn SR. said coming out of the kitchen. �It�s been a trying few days. Why don�t you let me take Zack back to the Pub with me for a while.� �Thanks Pop but I think Hope needs him here right now.� He walks over to him and gives him a hug. �I know I do.� �Well I�m going to get going then. Give Hope my best.� �I will Pop.� Bo says giving him one last hug before making his way into the kitchen. �Hey there Zack those cookies look good.� With his mouth full he holds out a cookie. �Wanta bite?� Laughing as he rubs the top of his head. �No thanks, but I bet your mom would.� �Mommy loves double chocolate chip cookies. Do you think she�s awake yet?� Bo picks up Zack yet still full glass of milk. �Why don�t you grab that plate full of cookies you�ve got there and we�ll go find out.� |
