Yay I'm alive! Just to warn you this is the first time I've ever posted with this fandom but I have watched every episode of psych multiple times and have read just about every fanfic out there. I've had the idea of this in my head for about a month now and since the plot bunnies still haven't left I've decided to write it. I had about 20 minutes of nothing to do after a math test today so I wrote it in my handy dandy notebook and showed it to my friend and she loved it so I thought hey why not. This is only the prequel but the chapters should be longer.

A New Sibling
1983
"Dad?" A seven year-old Shawn asked his father.
"Yes son?"
"Why do we have to have that boy live with us again?"
Henry sighed and kneeled down to Shawn's level, choosing his next words carefully.
"Well son, how do I put this in a way you'll understand…? His mom isn't able to take care of him anymore and he doesn't have any other family to live with." Henry explained.
"What about his dad?"
"He's…. not around. He left when he was younger." Henry struggled to explain.
"Why?"
He sighed again not know how to explain. "Well… I'm not sure; some parents just do for one reason or another."
"Oh."
The sound of a car engine turning off was heard and Henry stood up and jogged out the door. A moment later he returned with a young boy that looks to be about nine. He had thick black hair combed to the side and a button up plaid shirt. He had a suitcase in one hand and an old teddy bear that was missing an eye clutched tightly in the other, but the most noticeable feature he had was a black eye over his right and a bruise on his left cheek.
"…and this here is my son Shawn I told you about earlier. Shawn this is the boy I said was going to be living with us from now on, his name is Carlton Lassiter."
Please please pleasssssssssse if you have any thoughts on this I want to hear them. I have no idea when the next update will be but I'll try to have it done as soon as I can.
