Battle Scars
Chapter 16
When we get in North Carolina we take our rental car to a hotel near Davidson.
We unload our stuff onto a luggage cart and take it to the elevator. Shawn hits the 7 button and the doors close. I start to take deep breaths. Ever since my parents died I've been terrified of elevators and multi story buildings.
Shawn tucks me in his arms and I start to hyperventilate.
"Shhh...I've got you. It ok." The walls ding and the doors open.
Shawn takes out the little key card the manager gave him earlier and swipes it in the door.
He opens the door and let's me in, pushing the cart behind me.
We unload the bags and Shawn takes the luggage rack back downstairs. When he comes back he shuts the door and lays beside me on our bed.
"Are you tired?" he asks.
"Exhausted.." I mumble with my eyes closed and my body already under the covers.
It's around 1:00 pm, but I have a baby and I'm majorly jet lagged.
I feel Shawn crawl into bed beside me and I snuggle up to him.
"I love you." he whispers and kisses my head.
"Luh ya too, Shawniee" I say slurring my words cause I'm so tired.
Shawn's hand goes to my belly where our baby is forming....
We sleep like that. Together. As a family.

"Where ya wanna go?" Shawn asks me.
"Uhhhh... THE BEACH!" I say excitedly.
We slept all day and night yesterday and now it 12:00 pm.
"Ok!" Shawn says and smiles at me.
He hands me my suitcase and he unzips his bag and digs for his swim trunks.
I get my bikini and put it on, right in front of Shawn, and he does the same.
We have matching swimsuits because we are just one of those cute couples.
He puts on a t shirt and I put on some spandex and a tank top. I grab the volleyball and our sunglasses, and Shawn gets the towels.
"Ready?" he asks
"Ready."
We walk to the elevator and I hold my breath the whole way. Trying to find some way to control my fear. Shawn opens my door and closes it once I'm in. He walks around the front of the car and climbs in beside me.
He starts the car and pulls out of the parking lot.
"Can we get food first?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure. Where to?" he jokes, knowing I want McDonalds.
"Haha." I laugh sarcastically.
I don't know why he thinks it's funny to make fun of me.
I mean it's not like I can help it.
Does he think I'm fat?!
I can't help but let a few tears slide down my face.
Shawn looks over at me, "Sweetie!? What's wrong?" he asks 'worriedly'.
"You think I'm fat!" I cry.
"What? No I don't!" He defends himself.
"You where making fun of me wanting to go to McDonalds!" I cry again.
"Baby...I think you're beautiful!" he looks at me with a strong look and I believe him.
"Oh, promise?" I sniffle
"Yes, I promise." he smiles at me.
We pull into McDonalds and I order 2 cheeseburgers, fries, and a chocolate milkshake.

We park at the beach and we get the towels and volleyball.
I love volleyball.
Maybe they have a net set up.
We lay our towel down and take off our cover ups.
"Come on!" Shawn says, trying to pull me to the water.
"I'm trying to tan! Shawn!" I playfully punch him in the arm.
"But BaiBai!... Pwetty Pwease?" he asks with a puppy dog face.
"No." I say.
"Fine." He says and kisses my lip slightly.
He runs out into the water his lightly tanned muscles showing out.
I smile to myself and think of our child, how wonderful it's life will be..
I'm taken from my reservoir when water splashes my face.
I'm about to kill someone when I see the person responsible is a little girl with blonde hair and tanned skin.
"Sorry miss!" she says panicky.
"It's ok. What's your name?" I ask her.
"Skylynn." She smiles.
"What?" I ask.
"Well... my brothers said if I saw any pretty girls than to ask you to come to the court."
"I'm pretty?" I ask her.
"Well I don't know, you look like a princess." She smiles, and I smiles to. Getting up.
"Shawn! Come on! I made a friend!" I smile at him pointing to Skylynn.
She grabs the ball.
"We'll need this too..." she says, as we start towards wherever the 'court' is.
