Shawn-Douglas didn't want to
worry his mom, but he knew he had tell her about the drugs
at school. He also asked her for help. He wanted to know how
he could keep his friends off drugs.
Shawn-Douglas was glad to know
his mom was not mad at him for taking the "joint" from his
friend.
Bo came over to talk to
Shawn-Douglas about drugs, after Hope had found the "joint"
in his pocket. Shawn-Douglas said he knows what to say, but
it is easier said then done.
Shawn-D was pinned as a rat
when he told his mom (a cop) that there was a drug dealer at
school. The drug dealer was none other than J.L. King. The
kid who was giving out sample drugs was an 13 year old boy.
Shawn-D and his friends were outside playing ball when the
kid drug dealer came to confront Shawn-D. Hope had to break
up the fight.
Hope took the boys inside
after the fight and gave them all lunch. Shawn-D's friend
{played by Sky Rumph, right hand side} said "Now we're rats.
What will we do now?" Shawn-D said "It will be ok. We can
get out of this." Shawn-D's other friend, Joey wanted to
fight again. Hope explained fighting was not the answer.
Shawn-Douglas snuck out of the
house to go to a movie with his friends. They got off at the
wrong bus stop and ended up in a bad neighborhood. They
watched a drug deal go down. Pictured here l to r: Collin,

As soon as Shawn-D got out of
surgery, Bo and Hope were both there to see him. They wanted
to know exactly how he was doing and if everything was going
to be ok.
Shawn-D was real surprised to
see Bo and Hope together. Shawn-D's biggest dream is to see
his mom and dad back together again.
Hope came to see Shawn-D every
day while he was in the hospital. She came in to tell him
that he was going home. Shawn-D got excited and said, "All
right!"
Shawn-D asked Hope about his
dad and if he was going to come and live with them again.
Hope wasn't sure what to tell her son. She knew whatever she
said wasn't what he wanted to hear.
Shawn-D said, "You're not
giving up on dad, are you?" Hope said, "No, way never".
Bo came in and Hope left.
Shawn-D started right in on his dad, asking, "When are we
going to be a family again?" Bo told him, "Soon."
Shawn-D was scared to go back
to school. He was getting better and needed to go back to
school. Hope told him he would be going back in a
week.
When Hope saw how upset
Shawn-D was about going back to school she said he could
stay home for another week, then go back to
school.
Hope left with Franco to call
Bo again. Billie {Krista Allen} came by to see Shawn-D.
Billie talked with Shawn-D about going back to school.
Shawn-D told her his mom said he could stay home for another
week, then go back.
Billie {Krista Allen} tried to
reassure Shawn-D that his dad was doing everything he could
to get the thugs put away. As Billie left, she dropped drugs
out of her purse. They were not hers. She was trying to set
up J.L. King's side kick, Max. Hope was not happy that
Billie was there seeing Shawn-D.
Billie left and Officer Tommy
came over to talk with Shawn-D about the drug deal they saw
the night of the shooting. Shawn-D told him everything they
saw, and how he wished they would have never seen it
happen.
Officer Tommy assured Shawn-D
the thugs would be caught and were going to jail for a long
time. Shawn-D then said he would be glad to go back to
school when he was feeling better. Officer Tommy found the
drugs and he thought they were Shawn-D's. Hope made sure he
knew they were Billie Reed's.
Shawn-D was excited to talk to
his Dad on the phone. Bo called and told him he was going to
be coming over real soon to talk to him. Shawn-D said "Ok
dad, mom and I will be waiting. Shawn-D really wants his
parents back together.
Bo did come by a few days
later. Shawn-D was sporting his new look. Bo was very
greatful his son was ok. Shawn-D told him that he read in
the paper that he was a hero. Bo said he wasn't a hero, he
would do anything for his son.
Collin, sporting his new look.
What a handsome young man he is turning out to
be.
Bo explained to Shawn-D that
they had the kid in custody that shot him. He was a 16 year
old boy. He was going to go to prison for a long time. He
was actually killed before he went to prison.
Shawn-Douglas asked his
Great-Grandmother Alice for some advice, he was upset that
his mom and dad would not be getting back together. Alice
explained to him that sometimes adults just need time to
working out their problems. Alice wants Bo and Hope together
as much as Shawn-D does.
