Chapter 4: Jules phone call
Jules picked up the phone. She dialed the number and waited for the answer on the other end. She knew it was early but it had to be done.
"Hello?"
"May I speak to Madeline please?"
"This is."
"Oh. Um. This is Juliet. Shawn's wife."
"Oh hello dear."
"I know it's early but I needed to talk to you."
"What is it?" Asked the older woman sensing the worry in Juliet's worried voice.
"There's been an accident."
"Oh my god! Shawn!"
"No! Mr. Spencer. He's in a coma and needs a new heart. Shawn's taking it pretty rough. He could use you."
"I'll be right there." Madeline said. "Besides it'll give me a chance to see my grandchildren."
Juliet hung up the phone and went back into the room. Shawn was sitting in his chair. Gus and Jessica had their hands on his shoulders. They saw Jules and let her take over.
Jules wrapped her arms around his neck. She kissed his neck. Shawn welcomed the distraction.
"How are you doing?" She whispered in his ear as she continued to kiss his neck.
"Better now."
"Your mom's coming."
"When?"
"She's on her way." Jules said. "Your not fine, Shawn."
"Jules, I'm fine."
"No, your not."
"Look! I'm fine ok! We never got along! Why start now! So everybody just leave me alone!" Shawn snapped. He stormed out.
Jules started to cry. Shawn never spoke to her like that before. Gus comforted her.
"He's not himself right now. Give him time. He needs to sort things out." Gus said.
"Why won't he let me help him?" Jules cried.
"He needs to do this. He needs to deal with this on his own."
"I need to know where he went." Jules said heading out the door. She walked down the hall towards the chapel. Shawn wasn't there. She checked the roof. He wasn't there either. Something told her to check the maternity ward. She found Shawn staring through the nursery window.
"Shawn."
"Jules, I'm sorry." Was all he said. He turned to look at her. "I'm so sorry." Tears streamed down his cheeks. She wrapped her arms around him as he sank to the floor. He held onto her tightly.
"Oh Shawnee. It'll be ok." She rubbed his back. "It's going to be ok."
"No it's not." Shawn said. "I shouldn't have yelled at you. I'm so sorry."
"I understand. I know this is hard."
"I never got to tell him I'm sorry."
"There's still a chance, Shawn." Shawn shook his head. "Yes there is. You can tell him now. They say coma patients can hear everything around them."
"Really?"
"Yes. Now come on." Jules took his hand, helped him up and led him back to his father's room.
