They were simply looking into each other's eyes with their cheeks pressed against the back of the couch.
"Will you let me make it up to you?"
"You don't have to. You made my little girl smile. She adores you already."
Shawn gently pushed some of her hair back behind her ear. "She is beautiful...just like her mother."
"I needed you that night. What happened?"
Shawn apprehensively contemplated what to tell her. "Camila, I..."
Just then the front door opened abruptly and Paula was apologizing profusely. "Cammie, I am so sorry, he saw us and..."
"Get out of the way." Austin said sternly as he pushed past her with Isa in his arms.
Camila and Shawn quickly stood up.
Austin shook his head when he saw them together. He addressed Camila first. "How DARE you keep my baby away from me!"
"I am surprised you noticed!" She shouted back.
Shawn glanced at a very worried looking Isa.
"I WILL see my daughter. Don't you EVER pull this SHIT again! Do you hear me?!"
Isa began to cry.
"Give her to me, Austin."
"No." He said then rubbed Isa's back as she sobbed.
"Give me my daughter."
"OUR daughter!"
"You are lucky she even recognizes you!"
Shawn could feel this escalating rapidly and stepped in to try and deescalate the situation. "Let's just stay calm and..."
"YOU again!"
"Come on, man. Let's be cool in front of the kid."
"I thought I told you to back the FUCK off?"
Camila quickly turned to study Shawn's reaction.
Shawn tried to keep his facial response neutral.
"You stay away from my girl and MY DAUGHTER!"
"I am not your girl! Not anymore."
Paula did not think Isa should hear her parents talking this way in front of her. "Isa baby, let's go find a toy to okay with."
Austin held onto her tighter. "Back off, Paula."
"Austin, please?"
Austin kissed Isa on her head as he held her tightly. "Daddy loves you Bellie."
Camila closed her eyes as tears trickled down her cheeks.
Austin then placed her down so Paula could take her. As soon as they left, he walked right up to Camila. "How DARE you just fucking take our baby without telling me!"
"You were too drunk to realize it!"
"Having a few drinks is not drunk."
"For YOU it is!"
Austin turned his focus towards Shawn. "I think it is time for you to leave, Mendes."
"I'll leave when Camila wants me too,"
