"Grandma's Home Cooking"

Based on "Psych"

No one could even know how scared Shawn Spencer was about telling his mother that he had a daughter. It was worse than telling his father, considering he was always closer to Madeline than he was to Henry. No one could even know how happy Shawn was the last time his mother came to town – his daughter was away that weekend at a friend's house.

Shawn knew that, eventually, he would have to tell his mother about Olivia. Sure, it had been about 3 years since Olivia came to live with him, but Shawn thought that he wouldn't hear from his mother again.

Shawn and Henry had agreed that they would wait as long as possible before telling Madeline about Olivia. Though it wasn't the right thing to do, they were happy with that plan.

Juliet Spencer (AKA Juliet O'Hara) walked up to the pool where her stepdaughter was taking swimming lessons. Last week, Olivia's instructor had told Juliet that Olivia was one of the strongest swimmers in the class. Juliet now made it a point to have at least either her or Shawn or Gus or someone there to cheer Olivia on.

With Tiko on a leash by her side, Juliet stood outside the gate of the pool, along with the other parents.

"Alright!" exclaimed Miss. Amber, the swimming instructor, "Time for diving! Everybody, out of the pool!"

The swimmers quickly walked to the pool. Olivia was the last one in line. Juliet watched as the rest of the students dove into the water. She was impressed by how well everyone in the class was doing. She smiled when some of the other parents started clapping for their children.

Then, it was Olivia's turn. The rest of the swimmers were already drying off in their towels, but they watched as Olivia walked onto the diving board. Even they knew how good Olivia was at swimming. They loved watching her. Olivia took a deep breath, bent her knees and pushed herself off of the diving board. She dived perfectly into the water.

"You did a good job today, Liv" Juliet said, when she and Olivia were in the car

"Thanks" Olivia Spencer replied, with a smile "I try"

Juliet smiled. "Listen, I have to drop you off at Henry's house" she said "I have to go into the station and Shawn is busy doing something with Gus"

"Ok"

"Henry said that he wouldn't be there when you get there but that he would be there soon after"

"Alright" Olivia said "Should I bring Tiko with me?"

"Yes" Juliet replied "As much as everyone loves Tiko, Chief Vick wants everyone to be able to concentrate"

They started laughing. When Olivia first brought Tiko to the station a week before, everyone became spellbound by the small puppy. No one was able to concentrate. Fortunately, there were no big cases that people should have been concentrating on that day.

About 10 minutes later, Juliet pulled up in front of Henry's house. Olivia opened the door, grabbed her towel and Tiko, and headed towards the house.

"Bye Liv!" Juliet said "Shawn's going to pick you up in a few hours"

"Ok" Olivia replied, waving "See ya, Juliet!"

Olivia took the spare key that Henry kept under the welcome mat and unlocked the door.

"Ok, Tiko" Olivia said, as she closed the door behind her "You thirsty?"

Tiko barked and wagged his tail. Olivia smiled.

"Alright, then" she said "One bowl of water, coming up!"

Olivia grabbed the dog bowl that Henry kept, in case Tiko came over, and filled it with water. She turned off the faucet, bent down, and placed the bowl in front of her puppy.

"Who are you?" Olivia heard a voice say "How did you get into this house?"

Olivia stood up and saw a woman, about Henry's age, standing a few feet in front of her. The woman had short blond hair and blue eyes. She was also about Henry's height.

"I'm Henry's granddaughter, Olivia" she replied, "Who are you?"

"You must be mistaken" the woman said "Henry doesn't have a granddaughter"

"Uh…yeah, he does" Olivia said, pointing at herself "Me"

"Who's your father?"

"Shawn Spencer" Olivia replied. She was really confused by this woman's behavior.

"Shawn?" the woman said, noticing how Olivia looked similar to Shawn "But, Shawn just got married…you couldn't possibly be his daughter"

"Well, I am" Olivia replied "You can check with my doctor if you are that much in denile!"

"How old are you?"

"I just turned 14"

"Good Lord!" exclaimed the woman, putting her hand on her mouth, realizing what must have happened for Shawn to have a 14 year old daughter and that this girl did look like Shawn.

"Who are you?" Olivia asked, again "You never answered that question! You kind of ignored it"

"I'm Madeline Spencer" she replied "Your…grandmother"

"Liv!" Henry Spencer shouted, as he walked into his house "Liv, are you here?"

Henry smiled when he saw his granddaughter walk into the kitchen, with Tiko by her side.

"Hey, Liv" Henry said "What's up?"

"Henry, there's a woman here claiming to be my grandmother!"

"Your grandmother?"

Olivia nodded. "She was here when I got here"

"When were you going to tell me about this, Henry?" an angry voice said

Henry and Olivia turned to see Madeline standing in the door way of the kitchen.

"Maddie!" Henry said "What are you doing here?"

"I was in the neighborhood" Madeline replied, walking into the kitchen "I figured 'Oh, I haven't seen Shawn since before he got married' and decided to pay you guys a visit"

"Oh, well, that's nice" Henry said, putting his hand on Olivia's shoulder

"Where's Shawn?"

"He's doing something with Gus"

"Well, get him here now!" Madeline said "I want to talk to him"

Henry nodded and went to the phone.

"Come on, dear" Madeline said, to Olivia "Tell me a little bit about yourself"

Olivia smiled, nodded, and followed Madeline back into the living room, with Tiko at her heels. She didn't understand why Henry and Shawn wouldn't talk about Madeline. She seemed really nice.

Shawn Spencer rolled his eyes when he saw who was calling him.

"Dad!" he said "I'm kind of busy. Can I call you back later?"

"No! You need to come here now!"

"Dad…"

"Red Alert!"

"Red Alert?" Shawn said "What the hell is that supposed to mean?"

"Guess who's sitting in the living room right now?"

"Hmm…Olivia?" Shawn said, sarcastically "Remember, you're supposed to watch her this afternoon"

"Ok" Henry said "Guess who's sitting in the living room with Olivia?"

Shawn thought for a moment. "Damn it!"

"Exactly"

"Alright" Shawn said "I'll be there as soon as I can"

"Good"

Shawn hung up the phone and turned to Gus. "Dude, can you give me a ride to my Dad's?"

"Is something wrong with Olivia?" Burton Guster asked, as he and Shawn headed to his car

"No" Shawn replied "Guess who's back in town?"

Gus thought for a moment. "Dude, you don't mean…"

"Yeah" Shawn said "My Mom knows about Olivia"

"Did you really think that you could hide this from her?" Gus asked, when he and Shawn got into the car

"I was hoping to" Shawn said "But, that plan has been ruined"

Gus chuckled and drove off towards Henry's house. "Dude, you couldn't have possibly thought that you could get away with this!"

"I honestly thought that I wouldn't see my Mom for awhile"

"So, when you did see her again, let's say 6 years from now, and you introduce her to her grandchildren, you thought that she wouldn't question why you had a 20-some-odd-year-old daughter?"

"I hadn't thought that far ahead" Shawn replied, turning to look at his best friend "You're starting to sound like my father"

Gus chuckled again as they drove to Henry's house.

Shawn smiled when he saw Olivia outside playing with Tiko. No matter what she did, Olivia made him smile. Then, he saw his parents sitting on the porch, watching and talking with their granddaughter, and the smile sort of went away.

"Good luck, Shawn" Gus said, from inside the car

"Thanks, Dude" Shawn said, getting out of the car.

Once Shawn had gotten out of the car closed the door behind him, Gus drove off. There was no way he was going to stay and get in the middle of anything that might happen.

"Ooh! Henry!" Shawn heard Olivia say "Can Tiko and I play with the hose?"

Madeline smiled, chuckled, and looked at Henry. "Sure" Henry said, with a smile "Go ahead"

Olivia smiled and turned to get the hose. When she did, she saw Shawn walking up the walkway.

"Dad!" she said, running over to him

Shawn smiled and opened his arms and Olivia hugged him. "Hey, Liv" he said, as he hugged his daughter "How was swimming today?"

"It was amazing!" Olivia said, pulling away from Shawn "I dove today! Miss. Amber said it was perfect!"

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks" Olivia said "Well, I better let you go. Grandma and Henry want to talk to you"

"Thanks, Liv" Shawn said, sarcastically "You always know how to make me happy!"

"Hey, it's not my fault you didn't tell her" Olivia said "You're the one who screwed up in that department!"

Olivia ran off to the hose, turned it on, called for Tiko, and started playing. Shawn took a deep breath and walked up to his parents.

Here's a new story. After the Season 3 premiere, did you guys honestly think I wouldn't do a story like this? LOL!!

Anyways, I don't know whether or not Madeline changed her name back to her maiden name (whatever hers may be) when she got divorced. So, I kept it as "Spencer"

I hope that you like this chapter!!
