Her, too

Chapter Eighteen

October 25, 2014

The sun blared through the curtains in her bedroom. Momentarily, her eyes opened from the shine, annoying her. Why does it have to shine so bright? Bey looked down to see hands wrapped around her body. They were dark, and she held her breath. She'd had the best dream in the entire world. It was one that she really loved.

Shawn had remembered her. Granted, it was during sex, but it didn't matter to her. All that mattered was that their memories remained with him. She turned around to face Shawn. He was sleeping, but she noticed that he was very protective over her even in his sleeping state. No matter how many times she tossed and turned, his grip remained the same. She couldn't count the number of times that she knew that he had awakened after she had moved around in the bed.

She stroked his face with the back of her hand, thankful that it was Saturday.

"It's too early," he mumbled, causing her to laugh a bit. Her face buried into his chest.

"Sorry," she said softly.

Shawn kissed her forehead. "It's fine. How'd you sleep?"

The question wasn't a question that she really had thought about. "Great. I had a dream about you.."

"What about me?"

Bey smiled. "You remembered me."

Shawn looked at her for a moment. "That wasn't a dream, baby."

"Grapes and wine?"

"And more sex," he added amusingly.

"Ugh," she groaned as she laid out in his arms. She knew that she needed to get the Plan B pill, and quick. The last thing she needed was another baby. She wanted to get used to Tally first. She needed to see how she could balance having a child and a career.

"What?" Shawn asked her after a while.

"I need to get up and go to the store."

He frowned. "For?"

"Plan B," she responded before trying to get out of the bed. Her legs were sore. Her entire body was sore. She hadn't felt this feeling in a long time, and she appreciated it.

"Come shower with me," she told him as she leaned over the bed. Shawn tilted his head with a smirk. He knew that just because his memory was back, that didn't mean that everything was fine with them. He still hurt her, and seeing that in his face wasn't a good sight for him.

He climbed out of the bed and helped her to the shower. Their hands wouldn't allow them to just clean their bodies. They both had to touch. It was an "in the moment" thing, but they were both snapped out of it when the doorbell rang. Bey frowned at that immediately. She wasn't expecting any guests, and hated when someone showed up without a notice. She got out of the shower and immediately grabbed her robe. She dried herself as quick as possible before heading to the door.

Seeing Naomie there with Tally, Bey couldn't have been any more confused.

"Uh..."

"Good morning," Naomie said happily.

"Morning. Hey, baby girl," Bey greeted.

"Can we come in?"

Bey stepped aside and looked at Naomie nervously. What was she doing here? The last thing she needed was for Shawn and Natalia to meet.

"I know you're wondering why I'm here, but remember Natalia will be in your possession to keep. That means that she may get sick, and you may have to drop everything to attend to her. You may be at work, something happens, and you have to be with her. Basically unexpected things happen, like today. You'll bring her back thirty minutes before curfew."
