A half hour and a hot shower later Shannon emerged from the bathroom feeling somewhat refreshed. She walked into her empty bedroom and looked at her self in the mirror. "What does she have that I dont have? A foot and a half?", she said to herself mocking her tiny frame of only 4'10. She was drawn out of her thoughts by a knock at her door. She quickly threw on some sweats and a t-shirt and pulled her hair into a messy knot ontop of her head and opened the door. She was met again by those warm blue eyes. "Are ou ok sweetheart?", Keith said. "Oh yea I'm fine, I think it was the 20 hours of straight driving that just got to my head", she lied. "Ok well you had me worried there for a while, dinners about ready." "Good I'm starving!" Concernd Keith asked "When was the last time you've eaten?" "Uhhh the morning before I left...." she barely stated. "Shannon Marie!!!You haven't eaten in over 48 hours!!! No wonder your not well!! "Keith said in a very fatherly tone. "I know I know...." she said and proceeded to the stairs.
They walked down stairs and into the kitchen where Kenny was failing miserably at flipping pancakes. "I cant catch them", he sulked. "Move over Kendoll", Shannon slid in taking over so they woudl get to eat sometime this year. "Whats for dinner?", Shannon winced at the high pitched squeak with an aussie accent. "Pancakes", Keith told Kate. "Pancakes? Who eats pancakes for dinner", she said whining. "It's tradition", Shannon stated matter-of-factly. "When we have all been away from eachother and finally come back home the first dinner we have together, we have pancakes." "Oh, cute", Kate said. They all sat down at table ready to eat. "Oh my god Shan, these are amazing!", Kenny said with his mouth full. "Yea, I'll tell ya, if I have missed one thing about you it's your cooking!", Keith teased and winked at her. "Do I need to get you a bib?", she noted as syrup dripped down his chin. Kate leaned over and licked the syrup from his mouth and chin. Again Shannon lost the color from her face. "Umm I've lost my appetite, if you'll excuse me", she said before leaving the table. "Whats wrong with her?", Kate said rudly. "I think shes still not feeling well from earlier, she should have never driven the whole way nonstop, she wore herself out", Keith said with concern.
After dinner they all went into the living room and joined Shannon who was watching T.V. They ended up watching some show on E! about waify people in Hollywood. "I really dont understand what men find attractive about these women, what guy wants a girl that has smaller boobs than him?", Shannon said with a smirk. Keith started at her with a somewhat angered questioning look. "What? Oh come on Keith, try and tell me that one of the first things you notice about a girl isnt her rack?", she challenged. "It's not the first thing!", he said defensively. "Ok but you definatly notice it, your a guy I would be worried about you if you didnt!", she said amusingly. Keith however was not amused. "Well I think I've had enough for one day I'm going to bed," Shannon said before things got uncomfortable. "G'night everyone", she kissed the top of Kenny's head and went upstairs.

Chapter Four - A Night with Jack and a Thanksgiving Suprise -- ShanBan, 23:52:34 03/04/06 Sat [1]
She had been lying there for an hour staring at the ceiling. She knew she wouldn't get any sleep. All she could think about was how the day had gone by and what a mess it was turning out to be. She knew that she had been a stride short of welcoming today. Well he does seem happy, maybe its for the best... she thought to herself, No! dont give in, you love him and everyone knows it. They know you shoudl be with him. Anyway, what has he loved her maybe 2 months...hes only known her for five!, she sighed in frustration she knew she was being selfish but she couldn't help it, he was like a drug. She heard footsteps come up the stairs and a door shut. Then she herd two voices in the room head to head with hers. She thought about it for awhile and decided that she needed to talk to Keith, and maybe apologize to him for being so stand-off today. If shes going to have to live with this she woudl liek to be civil....maybe.
Thinking that maybe they were asleep she knocked softly on the door, she herd a manly grunt and figured she woke Keith up. She slowly opened the door and peered in but what she saw was something that woudl haunt her till the day she died. There he was with his head thrown back against the pillows, his teeth clenched, his bare sweat covered chest heaving up an down, and Kate stradled across his naked hips. As tears filled her eyes she closed the door and ran back to her room. She jumped into bed and pulled the covers over her head, her body raked with sobs.
Once she stoped crying she made an attempt to go to sleep hopefully being able to forget what she saw. The moaning and knocking of the headboard against her wall was to much for her to take so she got up grabbed a blanket and a bottle of Jack Daniels and went out onto the deck connected to her room. It wasnt too cold out but it was much to cold for her shorts and bra covered body....she didnt care. She looked up at teh stars while she let the warm liquid take her pain away. She had finished the bottle of Jack and fell into a restless sleep, forgeting the blanket she brought out with her.
The next morning Keith opened the sliding glass doors and walked out onto the deck that ran off his and Shannon's rooms. He stratched his body out and glanced over. There was Shannon curled up on an oversized chair in a bra and shorts shivering with and empyt bottle of Jack Daniels still in her hand. He rushed over to her and grabbed the blanket and wrapped her up in it. He carried her into her room and tucked her in her bed, pulled the shades down and closed the door.
Shannon woke up with no voice and a splitting headace. She could barely recall what happened last night and frankly she didnt want to. She threw on a t-shirt and went downstairs to start on the turkey, it was Thanksgiving and she was cooking. When she walked into the kitchen the room went silent. "You look like s**t short-stuff", Kenny said, "looks like someone didnt get a good night of sleep." "No I had a pounding headace all night that kept me up," her raspy voice emphasized the word pounding and she shot a glare in Keith's direction. "Well thats nothing that cooking a 20 pound turkey wont fix!" "Yea thanks Kendoll, real help!"
An hour later she was alone in the kitchen mashing potatoes when she herd the doorbell ring. She opened the door and was completely surprised. "Marianne! What are you doing here?!? Keith didnt tell me you were coming." "Hi loveapple! Yes I came to meet Kate and her mother who will also be joining us." "Oh," her face fell. "Child you look like you havent eaten or slept in weeks and you sound it to!", Keith's mother said with concern. "Yea well yesterday was a rough day, and night," she stated. "Oh my god, you didnt know did you? He never called you and told you!?" "No Mare he didn't." "OOoo wait till I get my hands on him!!" "Dont worry it's ok..." "No its not sweetheart....its not..." changing the subject, Marianne offered, "Is there anything I can help you with?" "No I'm good for now, why dont you go into the living room thats where everyone is, I'm sure you eager to meet Kate." "Ok dear will do, you need anything you just gimme a holler!" "Thanks Mare." And with that she went back to mashing potatoes wiping the stray tear from her eye.

Chapter Five - Dinner From Hell -- ShanBan, 23:59:20 03/04/06 Sat [1]
It was 5:30 and Shannon had just finished topping off the apple crisp for desert. She put it in the fridge and figured now would be a good time to shower and change for dinner. Everything was cooking and Kate's mom had joined the rest of the group in the living room. She walked through the back of the living room completely ignored by everyone in there, they were all to focused on Kate's new movie role. She went upstairs and hopped into a nice hot shower. She got out and put on a hankercheif black lace skirt and a satin white button up shirt and some black heels. She pulled some of her curly hair back off her face with a decorative clip and did her make-up.
Half hour later she walked back into the kitchen and set the table. Once everything was ready and the food was out she called into the living room that dinner was ready. All the guests got up and made their way into the kitchen. When Keith enter the kitchen Shannon had her back to them and was on her tiptoes trying to get a bottle of wine out of the cabinet. Even with the four inch heels she had on she still couldn't reach, which he thought was adorable. He stopped and couldn't help but look at her long, ok so they weren't long in the real sense but they were long for her 4'10 frame, perfectly shaped tiny legs. He'd truly forgotten how beautiful she really was and the perfect, although short and tiny, body she had. For a moment he thought about what it woudl be like to have those legs wrapped around him.... What are you doing Keith your engaged! Stop it!, he thought to himself. Quickly shaking the thoughts from his mind he walked over to her and pressed his body up against hers, to close for comfort according to Shannon, and reached up grabbing the bottle for her. "Thanks," she said without looking at him. "Welcome babes." "ShanBan this smell delicious, lets eat!" Kenny said eagerly. "Oh Shannon, by the way this is my mother Julia," Kate said, "Mom this is Shannon, shes Keith's house mate." Shannon put on her fakest smile and said "Oh it's lovely to meet you! Congratulations on everything." "Thank you I coudlnt be more proud", Julia beamed. "I'm sure."
Whoever picked seat should be shot. It was Maryanne, Shannon in the middle, and Kenny on one side, then Julia, Keith in the middle, and Kate on the other side. Now she had to face the too lovebirds for the meal. They all sat down and Julia raised her glass, "To Kate and Keith, let them be forever together and happy." Everyone raised a glass and toasted. Everyone was chowing down like they hadn't eaten in years, except for Shannon, she was too disgusted to eat. Everytime she woudl look up from moving the food around on her plate she woudl be force to watch Kate and Keith feed eachother and gaze lovingly into eachothers eyes, it made her sick. Marianne leaned over to her and said, "Can I ask what grudge you have against mashed potatoes?" She gave her a half hearted smile and looked up again. This time she was met with Kate nibling on Keith's ear, but Keith wasn't looking at Kate he was looking directly at her. The look he was giving her was something she couldnt decribe but it was unnerving and it made her stomace churn. She rose from the table excusing herself and went into the bathroom, what she didnt see was Keith get up right after her and follow her there. She splashed some cold water on her face and took a few minutes to get her composure back.
When she opened the door Keith was right in front of her. She looked at him briefly and proceded to push past him but he moved in front of her, blocking her in the door way. "What?" she said. "What's going on?" Keith questioned. "Nothing, let me through..." "Bulls**t! And no, you're not getting through till you tell me what the hell is going on!" Keith commanded in a slightly raised voice. "Nothing is going on!!" she pushed past him and rush out of the hallway but he grab her arm and pulled her back in front of him. "Let me go!" "No!, if nothing is going on then what the f**k happened last night!?!" She struggled to get free but Keith only tightend his grip on her wrist. "Its none of your buisness now let me go!" His only response was to tighten his grip again, this time causing pain, and backing her into the bathroom. "Keith I swear to god!" They were both furious with eachother, their eyes locked and both were dark with anger. He trapped her in a corner of the bathroom and leaned his head closer to hers. She could almost see the steam coming from his ears, and quite frankly it scared her. Before he could do or say anything she smacked him with her free hand, hard. He immediatly let her arm go to grab is burning cheek and she took that oppertunity to get the hell out of there.
She walked into the kitchen and told everyone that she had forgotten ice cream for the desert and she would be right back. Kenny and Marianne couldnt help but notice the brusie of a hand mark that she had going around her wrist, or the red handprint Keith had across his face when he came back into the room.

Chapter Six - Bad Apples -- ShanBan, 00:07:35 03/05/06 Sun [1]
When Shannon got back with the ice cream Marianne was taking the apple crisp out of the oven. She walked up next to her and started dishing out the ice cream onto plates. Marianne grabbed her bruised wrist and turned her so she was looking at her. "Well he certianly deserved it," she stated. Shannon coudl feel the tears coming, "dont ask," she choked out. Marianne pulled her into a hug telling her that it woudl all work out. "You know I ;ove you liek my own daughter and I know that no one could ever take you place in mine or Keith's lives...." she said seriously. "I love you too Mare.." she smiled through her tears at the older woman's kindness that she had always shown towards her. Once all the plates were made Shannon and Marianne walked them out to the table. When they entered the room everyone stopped and stared. Shannon got a look of worry from Kenny, of distaste from Kate's mother, pure and utter hatred from Kate, and still that unnerving mixed with heated rage look from Keith who had ice on his cheek. She brushed the looks off not letting them effect her in the presence of anyone and handed out desert, then retreated to the kitchen to do the dishes.
By the time she was done the dishes Marianne was leaving and taking Kate's mother to the airport. Shannon said goodbye to Mare and told her she would call her if she needed anything.
Once they were gone she was about to go upstairs when Kate stormed into the kitchen. "Who the hell do you think you are?!?!" Kate scremed. "Excuse me?" "You herd me, who do you think you are hitting him like that!" "You've got to be kidding me? If you only knew how much he deserved it! Your walking on shaky grounds Kate so I would back off while you still have the chance!" Kenny and Keith both heard the yelling and walked into the kitch to see the two women standing face to face, Kate clearly a foot taller that Shannon but that didn't seem to effect her at all. "What the hell is going on in here?!" Keith yelled. "This stupid whore is so jealous that I get to marry you and she doesn't! She has no respect for your well being!!" This really made Shannon's blood boil. "I cant believe I'm hearing this!! You cant be serious! She stepped closer and yelled "No respect for his well being?!? Ok how bout you take care of him next time he has a coke relaps! See how easy it is to deal with him then, hes so sick he cant even move off the floor, whe he has to be wrapped in blankets and help becuase hes shivering so badly from withdrawl, lets see you take care of him then!!! And why woudl I be jealous of you! I mean well I've always wanted to look like a walking skeleton and marry someone as quick as I could becuase its a good PR match and I want to beat my ex, who knocked up some 20 something year old, to the alter!!" With that Kate smacked Shannon across the face. "Hey!" Kenny yelled and grabbed Kate before she could do anything else. Keith caught Shannon, who was headed to the floor from being hit and pinned against the counter with his body. She struggle to get free but her grabed her arms and pinned them to her chest. "Keith you need to get her the hell out of here!" Kenny yelled. Shannon was still screaming and struggling to get out from under his grasp. "CALM THE F**K DOWN!!!" he screamed. Everyone stopped, they were all taken aback by the amount of sheer anger in his voice. He let go of Shannon and grabbed Kate and walked out the door. Kenny rushed over to Shannon as she colasped to the floor. He grabbed a towel to wipe up the blood from the cut where Kate's ring had made contact with her face. He walked her into the living room and sat her on the couch holding ice to her face. "I'm gonna kill him!" she fumed, "then I'm gonna bring him back and kill him again!", her body was rigid with anger. "Shan you need to calm down we need to work this out but not this way." Kenny tried to reason with her.
Keith took Kate to a hotel. "Listen," he said, "maybe we should hold off on the wedding for awhile, there is clearly something wrong at home and I need to figure that out." "You're breaking up with me becuase that tramp is jealous! What do you care if she doesn't approve!!" Kate screamed. "I care becuase that tramp happens to be my best friend!! If you're gonna be like this than mabye we should end it right now! I'm sure you can find someone who will marry you before Tom!!" he yelled back, "I gave you my heart Kate...and you used it as some PR move..." he brokenly said. "Well I thought you would be good for it!" she spat out and got out of the car slamming the door. Keith sped off as the tears welled up in his soft blue eyes. He coudlnt believe this all happened so fast. He cried the whole way home until he pulled into the drive way, then his anger returned full force.
