Shawn and Juliet's 3rd wedding anniversary was today, plus it was Aaron's 2nd birthday.
Shawn got up and changed Brice and put him back in the bed with Juliet. He went in the kitchen and started making their favorite breakfast.
Aaron got out of bed and went in the kitchen to see Shawn.
"Hey daddy." Aaron said.
"Hey birthday boy. Come give daddy some love." Shawn said.
Shawn bent down and caught Aaron as he ran to him.
"Daddy, mommy needs to get up." Aaron said.
"Mommy is up." Juliet said.
"Mommy!" Aaron said.
"Hey birthday boy. What's up?" Juliet asked.
Aaron tried to say cooking but couldn't.
"So you are cooking with daddy?" Juliet finished for him.
Aaron nodded.
Shawn put Aaron down and told him to go play in his room.
Shawn walked over to Juliet and kissed her.
"Happy Anniversary Juliet." Shawn said.
"Happy Anniversary Shawn." Juliet said.
Shawn pulled her in closer and kissed the top of her head.
"You are going to like my present I got you." Juliet said.
"Really now Jules? I want it now." Shawn said.
"Calm down. We are going over to Karen's house today to have Aaron's party with just family, then she is keeping the kids until about 11 so we can go eat and enjoy ourselves." Juliet said.
"Thank you Jules. Go get the birthday boy. I have a present for him." Shawn said.
Shawn went out to the car and got Legos.
Juliet went into Aaron's room and sat down with him and played with his cars.
"Aaron, daddy has a present for you. Go open it while I get yours from me ready. Then at Aunt Karen's you have one from me, daddy, and Brice." Juliet said.
Aaron walked over to Juliet and wrapped his arms around her neck.
Juliet picked Aaron up and said, "God kid, you are heavy."
Aaron laughed.
Juliet gave Aaron a kiss.
Aaron put his head on Juliet's shoulder.
Juliet walked down the hall to the living room holding Aaron.
Shawn ran in the living room and set the box in the middle of the floor.
Shawn saw Aaron and Juliet coming down the hall.
Juliet went over to Shawn and whispered, "Potty training is next on the list and that is your job."
"Hell no." Shawn whispered.
"Shawn…" Juliet said.
"Ok. I guess I have to then. My dad can teach him." Shawn said.
"We will not burden your father with our kid." Juliet said.
"Ok Jules. That situation will be taken care of quickly." Shawn said.
"That's my Shawn." Juliet said.
Juliet didn't know what Shawn got Aaron and Shawn didn't know what Juliet bought Aaron for his birthday.
Brice woke up and started crying.
"Hold on bud. Your brother is up." Shawn said.
Shawn got up off the floor and ran to his room and got Brice.
"Good morning." Shawn said.
Brice smiled.
Shawn picked up Brice and walked back in the living room and went back to the kitchen and made Brice a bottle.
Shawn brought Brice his bottle and set him down in his bouncy seat.
Finally, Shawn sat back down on the floor with Aaron and Juliet.
"Ok buddy. You can open it now." Shawn said.
Juliet helped Aaron out and unwrapped it.
Juliet saw part of the box and saw a big poster that said, "See Jules, I told you we fit."
Juliet looked up at Shawn and said, "Canada?"
"Yep." Shawn winked at her.
Juliet took a picture of it.
They got the wrapping paper off and threw it in the corner for later.
"What are those Aaron?" Juliet asked.
"Legos." Aaron squealed.
"Yep. Mommy thought she was a Lego person because we didn't fit. I proved her wrong." Shawn said.
"He has no clue what you are talking about." Juliet mentioned.
"I will explain later." Shawn said.
Shawn put the box to the side and said, "I guess it's time for mommy's present now."
Juliet got up and went into her closet and brought out some trucks.
She walked back into the living room with the trucks in her hand.
Shawn got up and ran over to her and whispered, "Those are my trucks aren't they?"
"Sharp as ever Shawn." Juliet said.
"Why those?" Shawn asked.
"Figured he wanted something that you used to have." Juliet said.
"You are too sweet." Shawn said.
Juliet sat down across from Aaron and said, "Aaron, these are daddy's old toys. He wanted you to have them."
Aaron looked at Shawn and smiled.
"Happy Birthday baby." Shawn said.
Aaron smiled and got up and hugged Juliet.
"That was all your mom's idea about the trucks. I do want you to have them." Shawn said.
Aaron let go of Juliet and went to hug Shawn.
Shawn picked Aaron up and said, "I love you kiddo."
"I love you daddy." Aaron said.
Shawn kissed Aaron on the cheek.
Aaron kissed Shawn.
"Those lips are reserved for your mommy." Shawn joked.
Aaron looked back at Juliet and then to Shawn and shook his head.
"You don't believe us son?" Shawn asked.
"Nope." Aaron said.
Shawn put Aaron down and went over to Juliet and kissed her.
Juliet deepened the kiss and pulled Shawn toward her.
Shawn and Juliet pulled away needing to catch their breaths.
Aaron covered his eyes.
"Aaron, we are done now." Juliet said.
"I was kidding Aaron. Come here." Shawn said.
Shawn picked Aaron up and gave him a kiss.
Aaron laughed.
"Alright, we need to get dressed and head over to Aunt Karen's." Juliet said.
"You take Brice and I take birthday boy here." Shawn said.
"Deal." Juliet said.
Shawn took Aaron to his room and changed him and got him dressed in an old pair of clothes.
"Aaron do you want to wear your pineapple shirt today?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah daddy." Aaron said.
"Cool." Shawn said.
Shawn went into Aaron's closet and picked out the pineapple shirt and then went to his dresser to get his khaki shorts.
Shawn picked Aaron up and put him on the changing table and got him dressed.
Shawn picked up Aaron's Nikes and put them on him.
"You my friend look like a sharped dressed man." Shawn said.
Juliet laughed when she heard Shawn say that.
"What my sweet Jules?" Shawn asked.
"He is only 2 and you are already flooding his brain with 80s references?" Juliet asked.
"Got to teach them young Jules." Shawn said.
Juliet laughed.
"Give me my kid and go get yourself dressed." Juliet said.
Shawn nodded.
On the way out of Aaron's room Shawn stopped and gave Juliet a kiss.
Shawn went back to his room and got dressed with a polo shirt and his usual jeans.
Juliet looked around Aaron's room and said, "How do you get this room this messy kid?"
"Daddy." Aaron said.
"Of course he taught you to throw your stuff all over the place." Juliet mumbled.
Shawn walked out of the room with a close shave and his hair fixed perfectly, the way Juliet likes it.
Shawn went over to Brice and said, "You need a teething ring. Momma doesn't want your fingers in your mouth."
Brice shook his head no.
"You're getting one anyway." Shawn said.
Shawn went to the fridge and grabbed one of Aaron's old teething rings and handed it to Brice, who put it in his mouth just like he was supposed to.
Juliet came out with Aaron and saw Brice gnawing on a teething ring.
"Putting his hands in his mouth?" Juliet asked.
"Yep. He likes the ring." Shawn said.
"I bet he does. Someone poured pineapple juice all over it the other day." Juliet looked at Shawn.
Shawn turned away and began to get the keys, his wallet, and his phone.
"Shawn Henry Spencer, don't ignore me." Juliet said.
"Yes I spilled the juice on the thing sorry." Shawn said.
"Thank you." Juliet said.
Shawn simply smiled.
"Let's get going." Shawn said.
"Take Aaron. I need to get Brice's diaper bag packed." Juliet said.
Shawn took Aaron out in the front and waited on Juliet and Brice. Shawn unlocked the trunk and got out the stroller for Brice.
Juliet came out with her hands full.
Shawn rushed over there and helped Juliet. He grabbed Brice and put him in his stroller and buckled him up. He put the diaper bag in the back of the stroller.
Juliet set the alarm and locked the doors.
Shawn met her halfway and pulled her into a hug.
"I'm sorry." Shawn said.
"For what?" Juliet asked.
"The yelling." Shawn said.
"It's ok. I love you." Juliet said.
"I love you more." Shawn said.
"I don't think that's possible." Juliet joked.
"We'll see." Shawn said.
Shawn pushed the stroller and Juliet held Aaron's hand and they walked to Karen's house.
They got to Karen's house and went in. They went to the backyard where everyone was.
Karen saw them walking out.
"Hey guys." Gus said.
"Hey dude. What's up?" Shawn asked.
"Nothing, just waiting on you to get here." Gus said.
"Sorry Gus. We got a little busy." Shawn said.
Gus looked at Shawn.
Lassiter came up to Shawn and Juliet and said, "Happy Anniversary guys."
"Thanks Lassie." Shawn said.
Carlton smiled.
Henry and Maddie walked over to Shawn and Juliet.
"Hello Goose." Maddie said.
"Hey mom. Hey papa bear." Shawn said.
"Hello Brice." Maddie said.
Shawn bent down and grabbed Brice's hand and waved to them.
Maddie laughed.
"Where is the birthday boy?" Maddie said.
Shawn pointed to Juliet who was speaking with Karen.
"Hey birthday boy." Maddie came up to him.
"Hey grandma." Aaron said.
Maddie hugged Aaron.
They all mingled and talked.
Shawn went over to his dad and told him to watch Brice while he was asleep.
Shawn went over to Juliet and took her hand and pulled her away from the group.
"Shawn we are missing Aaron's party." Juliet said.
"No we aren't." Shawn whispered.
Shawn pushed Juliet's back on the wall of the house and kissed her.
"Shawn, we can't do this here." Juliet said in between kisses.
"I told Karen everything, I told her that I was going to borrow you for a few minutes." Shawn said.
"I got you now." Juliet said.
"Want to go back or stay here for a little longer?" Shawn asked.
"Here. I probably sound like a terrible mother." Juliet whispered.
"But you are an amazing wife." Shawn said.
Juliet pulled Shawn back down for another kiss.
Juliet pushed Shawn against the wall.
"Jules, we need to stop before…" Shawn said.
Juliet looked down and said, "How in the hell are you going to hide that?"
"I don't know. Any ideas?" Shawn asked.
"That sounds like a man problem." Juliet laughed.
"Ha. You're funny Jules." Shawn said.
Shawn and Juliet went back to the party.
Shawn got up in front of everyone and got their attention.
"As you all may know it is Aaron's birthday today, but today is an extra special day for my wife Juliet. She is the girl who stole my seat at the diner 8 long years ago, she is the first person I told I love you to her, I chose her between the Yin case, but I had to save another person whose named shouldn't be mentioned, she is my other piece to my Lego person, she is my best friend, and a great wife and mother. Happy Anniversary Jules." Shawn said.
Juliet went up there and hugged Shawn.
"I love you." Shawn said.
"I love you too." Juliet said.
After Shawn's speech, they ate cake and ice cream.
After cake and ice cream, Shawn wanted to do presents.
Shawn grabbed a seat on the bench in Karen's yard and said, "Aaron come sit by mommy and daddy."
Aaron walked to Shawn and Juliet.
Juliet picked Aaron up and put him in between her and Shawn.
Karen came over with the first gift, which was from her.
Shawn unwrapped it for Aaron and pulled out a pineapple blanket.
"Karen, this was a genius idea." Shawn said.
Karen smiled and then handed Aaron Lassie present.
Juliet opened this gift for Aaron and pulled out a NERF gun.
Juliet shot Carlton a look and he shrugged.
Shawn got the one from his mom and dad which was a monogrammed backpack with a pineapple for the background.
Gus went and grabbed Aaron's new Tonka truck from the blueberry.
Finally Shawn and Juliet gave Aaron him their 'big' present.
Shawn and Juliet went to go get his present from Karen's garage. They came around the corner with a tricycle.
"Happy birthday baby." Juliet said.
Aaron ran over to Juliet and hugged her.
Shawn bent down and said, "Come here son, let's get on this bad boy."
Shawn helped Aaron on the thing and rode around the patio.
Juliet got pictures of Shawn helping Aaron.
"Shawn, you two stop for a second." Juliet said.
Shawn and Aaron looked at Juliet and smiled for the picture.
Carlton went over to Juliet and offered to take a picture with her husband and birthday boy.
Shawn bent down on one knee and put Juliet on the other and Henry brought Brice over there. Shawn grabbed Brice.
Juliet and Shawn held Brice together for the picture.
Carlton got a picture where Shawn and Juliet were looking into each other's eyes, another one of the kids looking at both of them, and one more of Shawn and Juliet looking down at their kids.
Juliet got up and went and hugged Carlton.
"Thanks partner." Juliet said.
"No problem." Carlton said.
Aaron got off his new bike and went to Lassie.
"Uncle Lassie." Aaron said.
Carlton looked down and saw Aaron. He picked up Aaron and took him on the swing so they can talk.
"What's up dude?" Carlton asked.
"I love you Uncle Lassie." Aaron said.
Shawn and Juliet heard that and smiled at one another.
"I love you too Aaron. Happy birthday." Lassie said.
Aaron wrapped his arms around Lassie's neck and hugged him.
Carlton patted Aaron on the back and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Happy birthday buddy." Carlton said.
Aaron let go of Lassie and got back down and went back to his parents.
Shawn took Aaron and pulled Juliet with him.
"Dad, watch the baby for like 10 minutes." Shawn said.
Henry nodded.
Everyone headed inside because it was getting dark.
Shawn and Juliet took Aaron upstairs to their bedroom there.
Shawn threw Aaron on the bed and then tossed Juliet on there also without hitting Aaron.
"Aaron, you made Uncle Lassie happy today." Juliet said.
Aaron smiled.
"He never acts like that." Shawn said.
Aaron laughed.
"Come here baby." Juliet said.
Juliet picked up Aaron and laid him down across her chest and kissed him.
"Happy birthday baby. Happy anniversary baby." Juliet said.
"Who are you talking to?" Shawn asked.
"Both of you dummy." Juliet said.
"Oh." Shawn said.
Juliet leaned over and kissed Shawn.
"Alright, let's go back downstairs dad is waiting on us." Shawn said.
"Ok." Juliet said.
Juliet picked up Aaron and put him on her hip not knowing he was asleep.
Shawn tapped her and whispered, "Looks like someone had a great birthday."
Juliet chuckled and kissed Aaron on his head.
They descended down the stairs and met the crowd that was getting smaller.
Juliet got down to the bottom of the stairs and said, "Looks like Aaron had a great birthday. Thank you guys who came. Love you all."
Everyone said their goodbyes and left Karen's house.
Juliet sat down on the couch next to Shawn holding Aaron still.
Shawn leaned over and whispered, "Ready to go?"
"Yeah. I have the boys' bag in the stroller. I am leaving everything here and we can get it tonight." Juliet said.
Shawn nodded.
Juliet bent down and pushed Aaron's hair out of his face and whispered, "Mommy and daddy have to leave baby. We are going to be back later tonight. Love you and happy birthday Aaron."
Aaron woke up and smiled and waved bye to Juliet.
Shawn picked up Aaron and took him and walked around.
"Aaron did you have a good birthday?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah daddy." Aaron said.
"That's good. Well, I love you. Me and mommy will be back late tonight. Happy birthday." Shawn said.
"Love you too daddy." Aaron said.
"Kiss?" Shawn asked.
Aaron gave Shawn a kiss.
Shawn brought Aaron back to Karen.
Juliet was bouncing Brice to sleep.
Shawn handed Aaron to Karen and went and stood behind Juliet.
"Hey baby boy." Shawn said.
Brice wiggled his arms.
"We love you. We will be back tonight. Don't sleep too much or I will be up most of the night when I really want to spend it with your mommy." Shawn said.
Juliet laughed.
"Alright. Love you sweetpea." Juliet said.
Juliet put Brice down on the floor and he fell asleep.
"Karen, thank you so much for this party and a giant thank you for taking care of the boys while we go enjoy our anniversary." Juliet said.
"You're welcome. Have fun." Karen said.
Juliet and Shawn left Karen's and went home.
