A twist in fate Chapter thirteen
ShawnI just woke up from another coma after having spinal surgery. My wife is two months away from giving birth to our daughter and I basically spent her pregnancy in a fucking coma. The doctor is here now doing an exam on my neurological system to see if I'm paralyzed or not. So far I have full use from the waist up and now we're about to check from the waist down. I look teary eyes to Beth who has been standing at my side holding my hand. She gives me a reassuring smile and kisses the back of my hand. "I love you, you, Shawn. Not your ability to walk, nothing will change that, okay," she says in a soothing whisper and I nod vigorously."I'm ready," I say quietly, letting out a calming breath.My feet are exposed and the doctor uses a tool to tickle the bottom of my feet. I let out laughing sobs as I jerk my feet away from her. I cover my face with my hands the realization of how much worse this could have been. I could have died and Beth would have been raising our daughter alone.

BethI secretly have a crush on Shawn Andersen, the school's only intersex student. Trey and his friends beat her on a daily basis because she's different. I know I say mean things to her, but I'm head cheerleader and most popular girl in school.I've watched her get beaten up enough. Today I'm going to walk up to her in front of the entire school and take her in a kiss. It's the third week of our senior year of high school and I want to spend it with her if she feels the same about me.I pull into school with Mandy and already Trey is making his way to Shawn as she stands under the big tree in front of the school. I quickly get out and run over to her as Trey reaches her. I stand in between them, scowling at Trey and his friends. "Move Beth, this doesn't concern you," Trey says angrily."Actually, it does. I should have done this freshman year," I say full of confidence and turn around, pulling her in a passionate kiss.Gasps can be he

Beth I woke up and my throat hurt. I look around and notice Shawn is sleeping on the edge of my bed. I try to feel my neck, but my fingers graze something and I start freaking out. Shawn shoots up from her sleep and caresses my face. "Calm down, you're safe. It's a neck brace to protect your throat. Try not to speak," she says in a soothing tone and I relax against the pillows. She helps me drink water and I say in a croaking voice, "Thank you." The doctor walks in with my mother and she runs to me when she sees I'm awake. "Oh sweetheart, you've been here over a week. Shawn has been collecting your homework and stays the night. Its Saturday," she chokes quietly with relief. I look at Shawn and she blushes, looking away from me. "You never miss a day of school. You missed almost two weeks and I wanted to make sure you stayed on top of your lessons. It helps that we're in all the same classes," she says quietly. "Thank

ShawnNine months later...Beth and I have been going steady with our relationship. I haven't been bullied all year and prom is in two weeks. Melanie and I have become close friends and are planning to telling everyone our plan to join the military after I graduate next month. I also plan to ask Beth to marry me at graduation.I was wearing a pair of dress slacks and a white dress shirt tucked into my pants. I had a bouquet of white roses and a teddy bear. I ring the doorbell and Mandy answers the door. "Beth, it's for you," she says with a smile, letting me in.She walks in with her mother and Aunt and Uncle and she looks at me in shock. "We've been dating for nine months and guys are still trying to ask you out," I say with mock annoyance. "I heard that Rob was going to ask you out to prom tonight and should be ringing your doorbell any minute..."Ding dongMandy opens the door and in walks Rob. He glares at me, but I kept a ne

Shawn I got permission from my commanding officer to wear my uniform for prom. I was on my way in the limo to pick up Beth. I was waiting after ringing the doorbell and Carolyn opens the door. She was speechless, stepping aside to let me in. "She's finishing her makeup," Mandy says as she descends down the stairs in her prom dress. She takes one look at me and tears fill her eyes. "She's going to be emotional when she sees you." "Are you riding with us," I ask softly. "No, I'm going with Annie and some friends. They should be here soon," she says with a smile. Beth gets halfway down the stairs before she looks at me. She comes to a halt with tears in her eyes. I meet her the rest of the way, stopping so we were eye to eye. "I'm not leaving for a few weeks. This is just to show them that I stand tall after everything, that they shouldn't mess with me or you," I say in a soothing tone, wiping her eyes. "Tonight I'm your soldier
A twist in fate Chapter five
BethI was sitting with Abbigail in the doctor's office, both of us waiting on our blood test results. We brought Mandy with us when I started to get anxious about possibly being pregnant. Abbigail made it sound like she wanted the extra support. Shawn was okay with us taking her car, knowing that we both probably needed a minute to ourselves after what we've been through these last few weeks since prom night. Abbigail had calmed down with the drive here, but as we sat and waited for the results, my nerves have been on edge. I almost jumped out of my skin when the doctor entered the office and Mandy came to calm me down. Abbigail and I held hands while she opened both envelopes and smiles. Her lips moved, but no sound came out. I didn't need sound to know both of us were pregnant.I gingerly pull my hand from Abbigail and step out in the hall. I bring my hands to either my stomach or my mouth as silent sobs escape my lips. I never expected to find out before she left to join the mili

BethIt was the night before Shawn and Melanie left for basic training. Unfortunately they weren't able to postpone their tour. They had to act fast for this mission before the window of opportunity closed. They were granted permission to return home in six months to be with us for the remaining of our pregnancies and stay with us six weeks after our babies are born. I was devastated when she broke the news a few days ago and we've been inseparable ever since. We skipped graduation and stayed cuddled in her bed. We just finished making love and I was propped up against the headboard with Shawn between my legs on her stomach. Her arms were wrapped around my waist planting gentle kisses all over my stomach. I play my fingers through her hair as she whispers to Jordan. She's promising to return home safely and to write letters or video chat as often as she can.Tears roll down my cheeks and she looks up at me with a smile. I smile through the tears and she moves up to give me a kiss. It
A twist in fate Chapter seven
BethAfter the mind-blowing sex with Melanie, we decide to go check on Shawn and Abbigail. Melanie quietly opens the door and to both our surprise, they were passed out with Shawn still deep inside Abbigail. Melanie and I leave the room, quietly closing the door. I look up at her and notice the tears in her eyes. I take her hand and bring her back to the living room.I make her look me in the eyes and the tears roll down her cheeks. They weren't tears of jealousy, they were genuine. My only thoughts were of how close it was that she and Shawn were supposed to be on a plane that crashed, leaving no survivors. If I hadn't over stressed about the bad feeling, they'd be dead right now and we wouldn't have done what we just did.I look away as tears of my own fall rapidly down my cheeks and Melanie takes me in her arms. Uncontrolled sobs cause my shoulders to shake violently as I hug my arms to my stomach. My baby could have lost their father and it was hitting me hard. Melanie did her bes
