Great chapter Andre! Definitely a guys version of labor though

[Kpatch]

Aw Jan had a girl. Shawn is a little dim, isn't he? LOL.

Patiently waiting to find out what happened with Philip/Belle/Melanie.

Thanks for the chapter Andre!

[Trey]

Good story, can't wait to see how Paul is going to tie into the story.

[sportsgirl]

Still think there is a huge twist coming up! Can't wait to read more!

[fluffysmom]

Great chapter Andre. I am wondering about Philip/Belle/Melanie. I bet a huge twist is just around the corner.

Chapter 13

Listen to this song until Philip and Belle enter the room:

SALEM UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL – MATERNITY WARD
Jan was now in a different room. She was lying in bed, holding her sleeping newborn baby. Shawn-D was sitting on a chair next to the bed.
JAN: She's beautiful!
SHAWN-D: She's amazing! And you were incredible.
JAN: Thanks. So, what do we name her?
SHAWN-D: I don't know. Any ideas?
JAN: I've always kinda liked the name Shawn.
SHAWN-D: Jan, she's a girl. We can't call her Shawn.
JAN: Why not?
SHAWN-D: Because that's a boy's name. But, if we work on the spelling, we could call her Shauna.
JAN: Shauna. Yeah. Yeah, I like that.
SHAWN-D: What about her middle name?
JAN: How about Claire?
SHAWN-D: Are you kidding? Belle's already mad enough at me. Imagine how furious she'd be if we named our baby after my daughter with her.
JAN: Yeah, you're right about that.
Jan thought for a moment.
JAN: What about Rose?
SHAWN-D: Rose. That sounds like a good name. Shauna Rose Brady.
JAN: That's a beautiful name.
SHAWN-D: A beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
Then, there was a knock at the door. The door opened slightly and Philip stuck his head in.
PHILIP: You guys up for visitors?
JAN: Sure. Come on in.
Philip and Belle walked into the room.
BELLE: Hey.
SHAWN-D: Hey.
BELLE: Oh my gosh! She's beautiful! What's her name?
JAN: Shauna. Shauna Rose.
BELLE: She's so adorable!
PHILIP: Yeah. She's really cute!
SHAWN-D: Hey, Belle, could I talk to you outside for a minute?
BELLE: Sure.
Shawn-D turned to Jan.
SHAWN-D: I'll be back in a minute.
Shawn-D and Belle walked outside.

HALLWAY
Shawn-D and Belle walk down the hallway.
BELLE: So, what did you want to talk to me about?
SHAWN-D: I wanna talk to you about what's going on between you and Philip.

PENTHOUSE
JOHN: What do you mean?
MARLENA: I mean, they think that I don't know who you really are.
JOHN: Well, that's nonsense.
MARLENA: I know that and you know that.
JOHN: It's probably just someone trying to mess with you.
MARLENA: Yes, I thought so. I just wanted to bring it up to you and see what you think.
JOHN: I think I am married to the most amazing woman on the planet. And, that you have nothing to worry about, Legs.

Great chapter Andre. I can't wait to see what Belle says to Shawn and find out what's up with John.

[natajess]

Another great one, when did John call Marlena "Legs"? Didn't he always call her "Doc"?

[djm]

Yea!!! A sweet baby girl. Seems like Jan and the baby are ok. I am wondering what the favore that Paul needs from Nicole it. Loved when Nicole said he was her father by birth, but really she has no father. Thanks for the chapter Andre

[djm]

Shawn has no reason or right to ask Belle what is going on with her and Philip and I hope she tells him so.
Wooo Jahn never called Marlena Legs it was always Doc or Blondie when he was RoboJohn. Maybe that is what the caller has been trying to tell Marlena John is not John. Thanks for the chapter Andre. Loving this story more and more.

[MrsM]

Great chapter Andre! Loved the baby's name!

[sportsgirl]

Yep, I caught that legs part also... This is not John, another doppleganger story! I wonder if Melanie has found out yet about Belle.

[Kpatch]

I also want to know what is going on between Belle and Philip. And where's Melanie?

Love the baby's name. It's almost the same as the actress who played red-haired Stephanie. Shayna Rose. Was that your inspiration, Andre?

Great chapter. So many loose ends to tie up!

[André DiMera]

I had almost forgotten about Shayna Rose. Thank you for reminding me, jkjpatch. She was another one of my early crushes. Once she left, I discovered Rachel Melvin. No, she was not my inspiration for the baby's name. This is going back to Jan's obsession with Shawn-D. So, I figured, what's Jan most likely to name a baby? If it's a boy, Shawn. If it's a girl, some female variation of Shawn. I decided that Shauna was the closest girl name I could get to Shawn.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction on Friday night as to who John is. There was a clue in Chapter 13 that I think one or two people might have noticed. I shan't say more, though, as it would spoil the finale.

Thanks for reading, everybody!

[fluffysmom]

I'm looking forward to the next chapter Andre. You always keep me guessing.
