Livia's P.O.V.

    As we look around the shop I hear my phone going off and pull it out. "Who's calling you?" Becca asks, walking up to look at my phone.

    I quickly notice Shawn's contact and turn it away, "No one." I dismissed it.

    "Well that was sketchy, do you have a secret lover that no one knows about?" Becca questions just as Jenny walks up to the two of us.

    She's holding two different paint swabs. "Lavender or sunlight yellow?" Our attempt at finding a theme for her baby shower has turned into what theme her nursery will be.

    "Lavender." I tell her, trying to deter the conversation away from me.

    Becca doesn't let it go, "Livia has a lover."

    "What?" Jenny asks, clearly confused.

    I turn to Bee, "First of all, stop saying lover it's gross." I turn back to Jenny, "Second of all, I do NOT have a secret boyfriend." Not anymore anyway, he doesn't feel the same way as I do. Or maybe he does but he doesn't want to risk it. I understand but it doesn't hurt any less.

    Becca puts her hands on her hips, "Oh yeah? Then what's with the secrecy?"

    "Secrecy?" Jenny adds.

    "She turned her phone away when she got a call."

    "It's not like that." I laugh lightly, trying to ease the situation. What if I did tell them the truth? About Shawn and I, or at least about me cheating on Dean. I don't want to take the chance that they would look at me any differently. Honestly I don't know how I would handle that. So I deflect the questions and scrutiny, " I promise, it's nothing."

I try to keep my tone light and confident. They give me an odd look but temporarily forget about the situation to pay for the paint. My mind wanders to why Shawn would call me. He hasn't made any attempts in contacting me since that day but maybe he wants to talk.

Once the paint and other supplies are paid for we begin to exit the building. It's now night time and I know that I won't be able to do anything until tomorrow.

Shawn's P.O.V.

  I keep looking back at her while she sleeps. Katherine didn't want me to leave her until she was asleep so I stayed, sitting on the recliner beside the couch. It has to be around nine o'clock by now. Her body has stopped shaking but she's still sweating in her sleep. Her black hair is sticking to her face so I move it away to make her more comfortable.

Normally I would've told her to leave and never come back. Normally I wouldn't have cared what happened to her. Things have changed. For example the fact that she has a son. I think a part of me feels for Matthew. My mom used to come home high and drunk because she couldn't deal with the past let alone deal with me. If I can help Katherine then maybe I can spare some unnecessary heartache.

Katherine stirs and opens her eyes slowly, when she sees me she smiles. "What?" I ask.

She shakes her head. "Nothing I just, I haven't woken up to you in a really long time." This time is different, she has to know that. Katherine must sense my unease so she changes the subject, "What time is it?"

I look at my phone, "9:26."

"Damn." She curses, "I have a feeling it's going to be a long night." Katherine sits up and stretches. "Can I use your shower? I feel like I'm melting."
