The Same Day at the Spencer House

Around 12:00 that same day Cole came down the hall and saw Juliet sitting on the couch sleeping.

"Mommy." Cole said.

Juliet woke up in a fright, "What's wrong baby?"

"My head hurts."

Juliet picked Cole up and put him in her lap.

"You have had a difficult day bud. You got stitches."

"In my head?"

"Yep. Wanna look at them?"

"No."

Cole laid his head against Juliet's shoulder.

"Mommy where's daddy?" Cole asked quietly.

"At the store. Why?" Juliet asked.

"I want him home. I miss him."

"Do you want me to call him?"

Cole nodded.

Juliet grabbed her phone off the coffee table and called Shawn.

At Target

Shawn's phone rang when he was on the toy aisle. He took his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was Juliet.

"Hey baby, what's up?" Shawn asked.

"Cole wants you to come home. He's up and he just asked where you were." Juliet said.

"Let me talk to him."

Juliet put the phone to his ear and said, "Go ahead Shawn."

"Hey buddy. You ok?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah. I want you home." Cole said.

"Why buddy? You have mommy."

"I miss you."

"I miss you too kiddo. I'll be home in a few minutes. Do you want anything while I'm out?"

"Ice cream!"

"Ok. I'll get that JUST FOR YOU."

"Ok daddy. I love you."

"I love you too baby. Let me talk to mommy."

Cole turned his ear away from the phone and said, "He wants to talk to you."

Juliet smiled and kissed Cole on his cheek and left him in her lap.

"What's up?" Juliet asked.

"I'm going to get him ice cream. Just for him. He has had a difficult day today. Has he complained about his head?" Shawn asked.

"When he first got up. Now he is actually back asleep on my lap."

"Ok. I'll be home in a bit. How's Maggie?"

"She's is on the floor with the dogs around her."

"That makes me happy. Take a picture, I know it won't last long."

"Ok. I love you. See you in a bit."

"Love you too."

Juliet hung up the phone and took a picture of the dogs surrounding Maggie.

She opened her text messages and sent the picture with the caption, Protective of her.

Shawn got the text and said, That makes me happy. We have the best family ever. Love you.

Shawn put the picture as his wallpaper on his phone. On the way out, Shawn stopped and picked out some flowers and chocolate for his wife.

Shawn put the items on the counter and the cashier cashed him out. Shawn put the bagged items back in the buggy and went out into the parking lot and put the groceries in the back of his car and then put the buggy back. He got in his car and drove home.

Shawn pulled into the driveway and got out and grabbed the bags and went inside. He walked into the house quietly and saw the dogs still around Maggie and saw Juliet and Cole sleeping on the couch. He went in the kitchen and got a vase down from the cabinet and put the flowers in it and went and put it on Juliet's side of the bed and slipped the card under it that said, Jules, thank you for giving 3 boys and 1 amazing little girl. I wouldn't change this for the world. You are the best wife and momma out there. We all thank you for that. I love you! XOXO! – Shawn

He walked out of the bedroom and finished putting up the groceries and went over to the couch and picked Cole up.

"Hey baby, daddy's home." Shawn whispered.

Cole opened his eyes slowly and saw Shawn.

"Daddy you're home." Cole said.

Shawn smiled and sat down and held Cole close.

"How are you feeling bud?" Shawn asked.

"My head hurts." Cole answered.

"I know. It will be all better in a few days. I promise."

Shawn bent down and kissed Juliet on the lips to wake her up.

"Jules, baby, I'm home." Shawn said.

Juliet stretched and opened her eyes and saw Shawn holding Cole.

"Hey you. How was Target?" Juliet asked.

"It was Target. Can you go in the bedroom and get Cole a new Band-Aid for me please?"

"Of course."

Juliet got up off the couch and Shawn put Cole in a separate chair.

Juliet walked into the bedroom and saw the flowers. She walked over to the nightstand and read the card. As she was reading, she didn't realize she was tearing up.

Juliet went into the bathroom and got the Band-Aid for Cole. She got that and left the bedroom and saw Shawn on his feet with his arms open wide.

Juliet put the Band-Aids on the counter and ran over to Shawn and kissed him.

"I love you." Juliet whispered.

"I love you too. Did you like your gift?" Shawn asked.

"I did. Thank you. I appreciate that. I know these past few months have been hectic with Maggie and Cole and Brice and Aaron going to school in two months. I really needed that."

"I'm glad. I know you have been stressed out, with me getting a new job and all, but we are making more money now than we have ever made. I know I'm stressed out at work about you and the kids because you guys mean so much to me and I can't stand not thinking about you guys."

"I know. I'm happy about your new job. I have to admit we are doing a good bit better with your job now."

"At work, I have one of Maggie's toys on my desk. I keep it there and when I'm stressed out at work I just hold it in my hand for a few minutes and look at the pictures on my desk of us."

"We need to get Maggie's newborn pics done."

"She's not a newborn anymore."

"I know. We have done them with the others and we have been so busy with moving and everything that we have forgot to do them."

"How about we send the boys this weekend to Karen's or my parents' and we can go take some on the beach of just me and you."

"Let's take family pictures."

"I like that idea even better."

"We should call and schedule those for next weekend."

"Good. Now we do need your mom or dad to come down there and take them home when we are done, we are going to go on a date where we get all dressed up."

"I miss getting dressed up for you."

"I know you do. I do too."

"You always look better than me anyway."

"Really?"

"Yes Jules really."

"Well Mr. Spencer, you are getting a special prize tonight."

"Really?"

"Oh yeah. I can't tell you just yet."

Shawn bent down and captured Juliet's lips and brought her to the couch and set her down and saw Cole sleeping again.

"Jules look at Cole." Shawn whispered.

Juliet turned away from Shawn and saw Cole sleeping.

"Let's go put him in his room."

"Ok."

Juliet picked Cole up and brought him into his room and then went back out into the living room and saw Shawn on the floor with the dogs.

"Shawn what are you doing?" Juliet asked.

"Laying down on the floor with Maggie, Gracie, and Jax. You should join us." Shawn said.

"How about you join me in the back."

"I like your idea better."

Shawn got up and picked Maggie up and brought her in their room.
