Ewan: Yes our charming friend Ashley said we were violent thugs who lack diplomacy and then in the next breath tells us to stop being so diplomatic...... That's what I get for trying to be nice to the ignorant bastard.

I truly feel sorry for Alex.

Shawn sighs...

Shawn: Never a dull moment, huh?

Cruel Britannia Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:25 am

Ewan pauses.

Ewan...... yeah.....

Cryonix Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:39 am

Shawn: You okay, Ewan?

Cruel Britannia Mon Sep 05, 2011 11:49 am

Ewan: Yeah..... it's just.....

.... well you know...... I wish things were.... different.

Cryonix Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:02 pm

Shawn: Yeah....I understand. Listen, you take care of yourself, alright?

Cruel Britannia Mon Sep 05, 2011 12:03 pm

Ewan: You too......

Raquel waits for the call to be done

Raquel:"Hon is...is everything alright?"

Cryonix Mon Sep 05, 2011 1:56 pm

Shawn: Thanks Ewan. I'll call you when I'm over in the states...

He hangs up the phone and turns to Raquel...

Shawn: Alexis is pregnant.....with triplets.

The glass of water slips from her hands, sending liquid everywhere.
Raquel doesn't even notice, she just stares at Shawn

================================================

A few months later, Shawn and Raquel, Aaron and Katherine stand outside of a courthouse in Phoenix, Arizona. Shawn is visibly nervous.....

Shawn: You know...now that it's here...I remembered how fuckin' nervous I am about this whole thing....

Jabberwocky Mon Oct 17, 2011 9:21 pm

Raquel wraps her arms around Shawn

Raquel:"Hey we are all going to be in there for you. Okay?"

a strong kick comes from her belly, hitting Shawn. Raquel winces and then smiles

Raquel:"Looks like somebody's daughter already believes in him."

Outside the Courthouse, exiting a rental car is Ewan and Erin.

Cryonix Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:09 pm

Shawn sees them getting out and excuses himself. He walks over to them...

Shawn: I want to thank you both for coming....considering the circumstances. I really appreciate it.

Cruel Britannia Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:21 pm

Ewan: You thought we wouldn't be here? Shawn..... I told you you're family no matter what and I meant it. We know the story..... all of it..... and we know what today means for you..... and we're here for you....

Erin just nods.

Cryonix Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:28 pm

Shawn: Thank you agai....

His words catch in his throat as he sees his father and his lawyers walking into the courthouse. Shawn steels himself, but his father's simple...evil gaze totally disarms him....

Mr. Cortez: Hello....Alejandro. My....don't you look nice in your suit and tie. Well...I guess I'll....see you inside.

Shawn's fists clench...he wants to run, but he doesn't.....

Shawn: ....thank you both....again....I um....ahem.......should be getting in there.

Pockets Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:31 pm

Kat slips her hand into Aaron's at the sight of his father, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

Cruel Britannia Fri Nov 04, 2011 6:34 pm

Erin grabs Shawn's hand.

Erin: Shawn..... look at me.

She looks deep into his eyes.

I know..... better than anyone..... what a hard thing this is for you to do..... but I also know you better than anyone....... despite everything he did..... you have become an exceptional man..... I never would have fallen for you otherwise..... You are an EDWARDS..... do you hear me? There is NOTHING this man can do to you anymore.....

..... and if he dare tries..... I'll rip his fuckin' throat out.

Cryonix Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:30 pm

Shawn: You always were....eager....to meet him, Erin.

Shawn can't help but laugh...

Shawn: I....assume the boys didn't want to come see this...

Cruel Britannia Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:35 pm

Erin: I..... haven't told them about your.... relationship..... with your father..... it's not my story to tell.

Cryonix Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:39 pm

Shawn: I gotcha. I wouldn't want to burden them with their important things coming up anyway. I think....I'll tell them after this is all over.

Cruel Britannia Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:42 pm

Erin: .....good..... and it will be over.......trust me.

Cryonix Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:52 pm

Shawn: You're not going to kill him, Erin. I don't want you to get in any kind of trouble on my account....yes, I know how ironic that sounds coming from me.

Aaron walks over with their lawyer. He says hello to both Erin and Ewan...

Aaron: It's time, Shawn. They are calling court to order.

Cruel Britannia Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:55 pm

Ewan: Good luck man. You'll do fine.

Jabberwocky Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:35 pm

Raquel, who has been cautiously quiet this whole time winces with the kick of her and Shawns daughter. She takes both of Shawn's hands in hers and looks at him

Raquel:"The only thing that monster can possibly use on you right now is words. Just words. He has nothing to get you with. Nothing. You are better then him. Put that sick bastard back in his cage for good hon. I..."

she looks down at her tummy

"we...believe in you."

she kisses him gently

"Always have."

she lets go of his hands
