When Shawn awoke the room was dark. He carefully lifted his head and glanced down at his naked wife. Her back was facing the ceiling as she slept soundlessly. Shawn moved his arm off her back and sat up into a more comfortable sitting position in the bed. Burying his head in his hands he cursed softly. He'd been rough with her and he felt guilty for it.

"Shit." Looking at the clock which read midnight; he realized his infant son had been left in the cold kitchen. Swiftly and quietly he pulled on a pair of boxers and paddled back to the kitchen. Thankfully the baby was warm and fast asleep. Shawn picked him up and returned him to his crib. Leaving the door open; he next checked on Adam.

Adam was asleep in his bed; dressed in his school clothes but Shawn let it slide this one time. There was no point in waking him just to have him change. Returning to his room Shawn picked up the clothes that were scattered everywhere and placed them in the dirty basket.

"Shawn?" Juliet whispered.

"Hey Jules." Shawn sat near her legs and placed a warm hand on her lower back, he could feel goosebumps appear. "Are you okay?" she turned her head to see him.

"I'm fine," She nodded drowsily.

Shawn shook his head, "Are you sore? Should I get you an ice pack and-!"

"Shawn!" she grabbed his hand to stop him from leaving. "I'm fine sweetie. You weren't too rough." She watched as his shoulders visibly relaxed. Juliet pulled him down so he lay behind her and wrapped his arm around her warm body. "Are the boys okay? She asked knowing he'd checked on them.

"Yeah." His breath was hot on her neck. Juliet shivered slightly so Shawn hugged her tighter.

"I love you Juliet. Please never forget that. I love you more than anything," Shawn nuzzled her neck, "I'm sorry that I did that. I shouldn't have done it. But with everything going on… I lost control." He took a sharp breath.

"Shawn…" Juliet turned and hugged him when she saw tears in his eyes. "The situation is stressful but it's going to be okay. We just have to stick together." Shawn buried his face in her shoulder as his body shook with trembles. "Shh baby it's okay. It's all going to be okay." Juliet rubbed his back. In a few minutes Shawn calmed down and was able to pull himself away from her.

"There ya go…" Juliet stroked his cheek, "All better?" She smiled.

"Kinda." Shawn nodded managing a small smile, "I'm not really tired though." He rubbed at his eyes.

"Me neither… movie?" She suggested. After getting dressed the two settled down into bed with a bag of popcorn and 'Dirty Dancing' playing on screen. Half way through the movie Adam crawled into the bed and snuggled under his mother's arm. Pretending to watch the movie Shawn was actually watching how Juliet stroked Adam's hair as the boy dozed off. Every once in a while he was a regular kid and wanted nothing but attention. Since the baby had been born Adam went to Shawn for any physical contact; rarely did he turn to his mother, tonight was an exception.

"Turn it down," Juliet whispered continuing to stroke Adam's hair softly. Shawn did as told and turned down the TV.

"I'll get it," Shawn said getting up as a wail sounded through the monitor. He walked out of the room as Juliet watched him disappear down the hall. A few seconds later Shawn returned with SJ cuddled into his arms. "He's okay?"

"Yeah," Shawn sat down onto the bed gently. "Just cold I'm assuming. He threw the blanket off himself." Shawn placed SJ on his bare chest knowing the body heat would help warm him up. SJ let out a small sigh of content and bunched his fist continuing to sleep.

"Look at our boys Shawn…" Juliet whispered. Shawn looked from Adam to SJ and smiled. "They're amazing." He replied.

Juliet nodded in agreement, "I know you love them." She moved her hand and ran a finger down SJ's back. "It's clear." She drew her eyes to meet Shawn's.

"I love you too." He whispered. Juliet answered with a sweet kiss.

Pulling away slightly she nuzzled her nose against his, "I love you more." A final kiss as Adam began to stir.

"Mommy?" Adam whispered still half asleep.

"I'm here baby," Juliet beamed down at him. With her voice heard Adam turned on his side so his face was pressed into her chest. Juliet ran her fingers through his hair soothingly.

"He loves you too…" Shawn told her with a weak of smile of his own. Looking back down at her son she glanced back at her husband.

"He looks like you. Brown hair and hazel eyes. He's his father's son." She chuckled lightly. "SJ seems to have blonde hair with blue eyes. Maybe we named the wrong son Shawn Junior."

Shawn joined her chuckle, "I still think we should have named him Christopher. He looks like a Christopher."

"I hate that name." Juliet groaned softly causing Shawn to let out a genuine laugh.

"And he looks like a Shawn?"

"He's handsome like the Shawn I named him after."

"I would so take you right now if the boys hadn't been here." Shawn looked down at his youngest son.

"I have to admit Shawn… earlier was nice." She nodded, " It was a little scary at first but it turned out to be good." Shawn furrowed his eyebrows.

"I scared you?"

Juliet refused to meet his look as she drew circles on Adam's back. "Jules?"

"Right before we… you know- you had this look. I've never seen it before. You were so mad…" She paused, "I thought you were going to lose it."

"I'm not proud of that Jules. That happens from time to time- but I didn't mean to scare you. Or this little guy…" Shawn trailed off remembering the yell of fright his son had produced when the argument began. He felt extremely bad for yelling at his wife the way he did, it was unacceptable. However he felt most guilty about scaring his son. Barely home and things hadn't gone well. A new strange environment added stress to the tiny child- his father screaming made it worse.

"He'll be fine," Juliet gave a small smile. "He's already forgotten it." She waved her hand in dismissal. She was taken by surprise when Shawn kissed her lips chastely. "What was that for?" She moaned softly.

"For being an amazing mother and wife. I'd be lost without you." He kissed her again. She kissed him back and brought a hand to cup his cheek. When they pulled apart Shawn yawned loudly.

"Ready to try and sleep a little?" Juliet whispered as Shawn settled into the mattress.

"Mhm…" Shawn responded beginning to doze off.

"Sleep well sweetheart." She kissed the top of each boys head before turning off the TV. After getting comfortable she turned towards Shawn and fell asleep.
