Shawn accepted Johnny from his mom so he could strap him into his car seat.
After Shawn found out about his son, he finally invested in a car. He had a little black Toyota Corolla now instead of his Norton. He sold his Norton to James MacDonald, a Scottish boy of 19 who struck Shawn's fancy during a case two years back. James and his mother had just moved from Scotland when he was sixteen, and settled in a suburb just inside of Santa Barbara. A string of thefts had been occurring in the neighborhood, and the neighbors suspected James because he was new and somewhat eccentric. Having seen a bit of himself in the boy, Shawn decided there was no better candidate for receiving the bike. So, just after his eighteenth birthday, Shawn sold it to him for the very low price of $250.
He had installed a car seat in both his car, and that of his father. Though that was a job within itself, and it had taken more than one person.
*One Year Earlier*
Shawn was fumbling with something as Henry pulled up.
"Shawn, what are you doing?" Henry asked, looking down at Johnny who was babbling away as he bounced in a walker on the sidewalk.
Shawn scowled, "I'm trying to install this car seat, but I can't seem to figure it out."
"Did you try reading the directions?"
Shawn nodded, "It's just gibberish about inserting the seatbelt into part A and out part B and things like that."
Henry laughed, "Would you like some help?"
"You know how to install a car seat?"
Henry looked at the seat. "We'll figure it out. Car seats weren't this complicated when you were a kid. The laws and regulations were very different then, too."
Shawn shrugged, "Do you wanna try?"
He stepped back to let Henry through, and turned toward his own son. Johnny's walker let him bounce and walk a three foot line. It was discovered to be dangerous to leave a small child in a walker with wheels, so walkers now slid enough for the child to practice walking, but not enough for a child to wander off or get hurt. There were iPad-like screens on the bottom and on the sides of most of these walkers, but Shawn had decided on a basic model without all of the tech gadgets.
Not two minutes later, Henry turned and smiled. "There you go, Shawn. It wasn't that hard when you put your mind to it."
Shawn rolled his eyes, but smiled. He and Henry had gotten a lot closer as Shawn finally began to mature. "Thanks, Dad."
"Now we just have to get one in my car," Henry remarked. Shawn groaned.
*Present Day*
"Are you ready for this?" Henry asked as they climbed in the car.
Maddie nodded.
"Then let's get married."
A/N: Sorry that this one is so short. I am going to try to include some of the other Psych characters (such as Juliet, Carlton, Gus, Karen, etc.) and a few twists in life. I will tell of the date, because Johnny will vary in age as the story goes. I'm not sure if anyone is reading, but if a get a review I will continue. (I just want to know who is reading, so the review doesn't even have to say anything)
