Of course, fans were thrilled to see "Days of Our Lives" give the beloved couple a son, and Shawn has been a favorite among viewers ever since.

After entering adulthood and enduring some messy relationship moments, Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Belle (Martha Madison) tied the knot and started a family with their daughter Claire. Meanwhile, Shawn went on to follow in his parents' footsteps by becoming a police officer, a profession that was very near and dear to both Bo and Hope's hearts during their many years in Salem.

As the oldest child, Shawn was with Bo and Hope for many iconic moments, such as when they left town to sail around the world and when they grieved the loss of their second child.

Bo and Hope's son Zack was killed by his half-sister Chelsea Brady

Years after Shawn's birth, "Days of Our Lives" fans went on to watch Bo and Hope Brady welcome another child. However, that baby was swapped with that of Lexie and Abe Carver's adoptive son. After a year or raising another baby, Bo and Hope were forced to give up that child and were able to reunite with their biological son, Zack. Not long after, Bo discovered that the daughter he had fathered with his ex-wife Billie Reed had lived. After years of believing the baby had died, Bo and Billie found out that a local girl named Chelsea was actually their biological daughter. Bo and Hope welcomed the teenager into their lives. Sadly, the unthinkable happened.

Shortly after adjusting to life with Chelsea in the family, tragedy struck. The teen was borrowing Bo's car on New Year's Eve, and was distracted while driving. During that time, Zack was at a sleepover at a friends house and wandered out into the dark street. Chelsea shocking hit Zack with the car, believing she'd hit a pothole and continued to drive.

Hope later found Zack and rushed him to the hospital. He died from his injuries in one of the most heartbreaking storylines that ever aired on the soap opera.
