So I very recently (2 days ago) discovered Covert Affairs. I am a good 5 episodes into the first season and I already have started writing fanfiction... Wow that quickly... Call me crazy. It's pretty funny because Auggie is my favorite character and he's from Glencoe, Illinois which is the town that neighbors my own, which is rather funny. This is going to be a series of one-shots. I have already started the next one, so stay tuned.

One-Shot #1:

Auggie and Annie had been going out for almost a year and Auggie finally decided that it was time for Annie to meet his parents, his unaccepting parents, who thought that he would one day regain his eyesight somehow. After the drive Annie pulled up in front of Auggie's childhood home in Glencoe, Illinois (Author's note: I am from/ I live in a town three-ish miles away from where he is from :) ). The house was probably just the same as Auggie remembered it. Cold. The brick outside and the large tree in front that still had the tire swing from his childhood attached to one of the larger branches. It was a house of hate. Auggie heard Annie get out of the car and then she came over to his door and opened it. Auggie carefully swung his feet around and got out of the car as Annie grabbed his cane and handed it to him.

"Carefully Auggie. There's a lot of ice." Annie warned as Auggie and her started walking to the doorway.

Auggie lost his footing on a piece of ice and tripped, but Annie had been holding onto his arm gently, so she helped him regain his balance.

"Geez, have they ever heard of ice melt?" Annie asked.

Auggie laughed and said, "Probably, but they don't like to accommodate their son who can't see ice patches."

After Auggie's had lost his footing multiple times, they finally reached the Anderson's front door. Auggie hit the doorbell with his non-cane hand and listened to the doorbell chime, a minute later the door opened and and old, fake blonde woman appeared at the door.

"August!"

"Hi mom." Auggie said with his signature fake smile.

"Who's this?" His mother asked motioning to Annie.

"Mom, this is my girlfriend Annie Walker. I mentioned her to you the last time I saw you." Auggie explained.

Last time Auggie had been to this house had been a year ago which was the first time he had seen any of his family since the accident.

"Nice to meet you Annie." Mrs. Anderson said as she reached out her hand and Annie shook it, but after Mrs. Anderson wiped her hand on her pant leg, making Annie uncomfortable.

"Come in." Mrs. Anderson said as she gestured at them.

Auggie grabbed Annie's hand and started tapping his way through the vast house.

"So how did you two meet?" Mrs. Anderson asked as she continued leading them to the living room.

Auggie had already told Annie how to respond to this in the briefing that he gave before they left.

"We met at work." Annie responded.

"Oh. The Smithsonian. How- romantic."

"Yeah we just love work." Auggie said.

"Auggie do you want to switch over to Hector?" Annie asked.

"You know what yes. That will make life a little easier." Auggie replied.

"Who's Hector?" Mrs. Anderson asked as she finally arrived at the living room.

"There's a sofa at eight o'clock Auggie." Annie said.

Auggie found the chair and then said, "Hector is my laser pointer cane."

Annie and him had thought that it would be fun to name both of Auggie's canes to give them a personal touch and also to befuddle his mother.

"Annie, honey, would you be a dear and put Malcolm away?"

"No problem." Annie said as she handed Auggie Hector and took away Malcolm, she carefully folded the loyal cane and put it in her purse.

"So. Mom. Where's dad?" Auggie asked.

"He had to make a quick errand. Now August are you looking into ways to fix your- problem?"

"No." Auggie said.

"August. I've told you that there are many ways that could possibly fix your- issue."

"No there aren't any ways."

"Yes there are."

"No! There aren't mom. I have really a special and difficult case. My eyes can't be fixed. Why don't you accept it? Because this is how I am going to be for the rest of my life."

"Because August, you're not supposed to be broken. It isn't part of the plan."

"Mom! Wake up from your fantasy. I am blind. Your plan is stupid crap. It sucked so bad that I left home and because I left I ended up becoming blind. This is how I am now mom, and there is nothing either of us can do to fix me being blind. I would love if you would just say, "my son is blind" but, no, you won't. It's been harder for you to accept it then for me to accept it and it's my eyes that don't work. It should be the other way around... I-I-I-I can't do this anymore... Annie let's go."

Annie then butted in and said, "your son is a good guy. He doesn't let his disability get him down. You need to accept the fact that he has challenges, but that he powers through them phenomenally. And I love him for who he is, which is something that you can't do apparently."

"Annie. Come on."

"August you just need to find the right doctor."

"I have mom. I have seen many doctors. My case is hopeless, too many of my nerves were destroyed. Honestly mom, becoming blind was a wake up call for me, I finally understood that I needed to get my life back on track and not let others boss me around."

Auggie then took Annie's hand and with his laser pointer cane walked out of that horrid house, through the ice field and into the car.

"Auggie. Let's stay in Chicago for one more night."

"Okay as long as you promise me that we won't talk about this until I am fully ready."

"Sure. I can predict the future and I hear that we are going to have a really awesome weekend." Annie said with a laugh.

And they did have an awesome time.
