I heard that season 8 will be premiering in April and some other sad news. There will be about ten episodes to wrap up the finale, and Maggie (Juliet) will only be in five of those ten. Can I say NO?

Juliet opened her eyes and took in a deep breath. It took her a moment to remember her surroundings. She recognized Shawn and Gus's desks. The Psych office. Why was she at the Psych office? Juliet tried to move but found she was unable too. An arm was around her waist and a face was pressed into the back of her hair. A blanket was covering her body and her lovers.
"Shawn? Shawn." Juliet nudged the sleeping man behind her.
"What?" Shawn moaned out still half asleep.
"Get up, we have to get up." Juliet tried to move again but was just able to shift towards Shawn. His hair was sticking up at odd ends and his shirt was lying against the back of the couch. Juliet closed her eyes and tried to recall what had happened hours before.
Juliet ran to the door, the heavy rain pounding on the umbrella she was using as shelter. She opened the door and was pleased to find the office nice and warm. Juliet shut her umbrella outside and placed it by the door. She made sure the entrance was tightly shut and locked.
"Jules?" Shawn looked up from his computer as Juliet walked his way. "What are you doing here? It's pouring outside." Shawn said viewing her.
"No duh," Juliet got out before her teeth began to chatter. The umbrella she had used was old and most of it was punctured with holes.
"Oh sweetie," Shawn jumped grabbing his coat from his chair. He rushed to her side and placed his jacket around her shoulders. "What were you thinking Jules? It's dangerous to drive out in rain like this. And without a jacket?"
"Don't sweetie me; I'm still mad at you. As for the jacket I didn't know it was supposed to rain. The weatherman said there was only a slight chance." Juliet told him. Shawn nodded his understanding and moved to turn the thermostat up. Once he was happy with the new set temperature he disappeared into the back. Juliet watched him leave and wondered where he was going. A few seconds later Shawn reappeared with a black plastic bag in his hands. Juliet pointed to the bag and shot him a questioning look.
"I always keep a spare change of clothes in the office. Never know when you'll need a change. You can wear them so you don't get sick." He pulled out a tee-shirt, sweat pants and socks. He handed them to her and pointed to the bathroom down the hall. "Go and change. I'll make you some tea or coco." He instructed.
"Coco." She said happily accepting the dry clothes and walking to the bathroom. She shut the door behind her and stripped off the wet clothing. After redressing she looked at herself in the mirror. Her hair was drenched and plastered to her face. Her makeup was a little smeared but besides that she looked amazing. She grabbed her wet clothes and made her way back to Shawn. She put her wet belongings into the plastic black bag and smiled when she saw Shawn.
He was focused on the hot beverage he was currently making. A little tune was coming from him as he worked. Juliet had to admit that his immatureness was often adorable, at least she thought so. She then frowned, remembering why she was mad in the first place. Shawn turned around and smiled slowly.
"What?" she asked wondering what caused this happy mood he was in. What was she kidding? He was always happy.
"Those clothes are really big on you." Juliet looked down and saw he was right. The hem of the shirt was close to her knees and the pants were folded multiple times at the legs.
"Yeah well, you're a man, I'm not." Juliet huffed sitting down on the couch. Shawn nodded and grabbed the hot mug. He brought the steaming mug over to Juliet and placed it front of her on the coffee table. Juliet grasped it as soon as Shawn's hands left it. He sat next to her on the couch- not too far but not too close. Juliet put the brim of the mug to her lips and took a long sip. Her eyes closed as the warm chocolate liquid crashed onto her taste-buds and down her throat. She opened up her eyes and placed the mug back down on the table.
"How was work?" Shawn mumbled watching her closely.
Juliet changed positions on the couch. She folded her legs underneath her and faced Shawn. "It was work you know?" Shawn nodded, he understand the interworking of her job. "Carlton confessed that he and Marlowe are trying to have a baby." Juliet told him.
Shawn let out a small chuckle, "That'll be good for him. Lassie could use a baby." Juliet's eyebrow rose.
"Carlton with a baby?" Juliet snickered.
"What? Don't think he can handle it?" Shawn's voice took on a teasing tone.
"No, I think he can. I just don't know if he can handle a baby, work and your pranks every other day." Juliet smirked at him.
"What can I say? I love me some Lassie pranks." Both broke in to a fit of laughs. Shawn watched as Juliet's head went down and her body shook with laughter. Her face turned a light shade of pink as the laughter continued. He couldn't remember the last time he'd heard her laugh like this. Well…. He could, but it was so long ago.
"I know you do." Juliet breathed out as the laughter subsided. Their eyes met for a moment, a brief moment, but Juliet saw something. Shawn quickly looked away and cleared his throat. His chest going up and down at a faster pace than normal as he tried to catch up on lost breath. Juliet tried to place the look in his eyes. She'd never seen it before on him. Other people sure, but Shawn? He never showed it. He never showed…. Guilt? That's what it looked like to her. "Are you okay?" she asked the mood turning serious.
"Yeah-," Shawn began to stay but Juliet cut him off.
"I'm serious Shawn. Are you okay? Don't give me some bullshit answer. Are you really okay?" Shawn sighed and nodded his head. He looked as if he wanted to say something. His mouth would open but no words would come out.
"Honestly Jules, I don't know." He took a shaky breath. "I'm trying to be okay. Honest. I just… I miss you." Their eyes connected again. "I hate it when you're mad at me. Even if I deserve it. I hate not waking up in the mornings next to you. Or surprising you at work. I miss it, I miss us." He confessed in a low voice. Juliet unfolded her legs and scooted next to him. She gripped his hand softly, Shawn's head snapped in her direction.
"I miss you too Shawn. It's really hard to stay mad at you. I just can't forget what you did." She shook her head.
"I've apologized thousands of times." Shawn said.
"I know!" Juliet jumped up. "Shawn do you realize what you did? You went into a murder suspect's house just because Trout won't hire Psych anymore. You could have been killed!" Juliet yelled.
Shawn tore up and looked her clean in the eye. "I did it to help you! I thought that if I could get the guy to confess, I could somehow make it so Lassie, you and Chief Vick would the get credit. I was trying to make things normal again!" Shawn protested.
"I don't care! If Gus hadn't of called me, you'd be dead Shawn! He stabbed you and he would have killed you if Dobson hadn't pulled the trigger. Instead you ended up making it worse on yourself and on Vick." Juliet pinched the bridge of her nose. What Shawn had done or tried to do was admirable. Instead he almost got himself killed.
"Well I didn't mean too! I just wanted to get Lassie back as head detective and Vick as chief. I know you won't verbally say it but it's my fault all of this happened." Juliet shut her mouth as Shawn slumped down on the couch. His elbows balanced on his knees, his head in his hands.
"It's not your fault Shawn, none of it is. In fact," Juliet knelt in front of him. She grabbed his hands, forcing him to look at her. "I think you were very brave. Telling Trout the truth, or the way you yelled at him as the paramedic tried to stitch you up. I've never seen him so angry. And it didn't help when Carlton was snickering behind his back." Juliet laughed.
"Lassie was snickering?" Shawn asked.
"Yeah. I think if you hadn't of told him off Carlton would have." Juliet informed.
"I love you Jules." Shawn spurted out. Both stayed quiet at his revelation. Juliet sighed happily and kissed his lips. It took Shawn a moment to react, his lips beginning to move with hers. Shawn closed his eyes and put passion into the kiss. If Juliet had been standing she was sure she would have fallen down. She wrapped her arms around his neck and moved onto his lap. His arms went around her waist as she pressed her supple body into his. Her tongue brushed his bottom lip and she groaned as his mouth opened and allowed her tongue to mingle with his. Juliet pulled away from Shawn long enough to pull his shirt over his head and throw it over the back of the couch.
Juliet went back to attacking his lips with hers. She ran her hands over his toned chest and Shawn moaned when she moved her lips to his neck. The next thing Juliet knew her back was being pressed into the cushions of the couch and Shawn was on top of her.
"Shawn I mean it." Juliet nudged him again and his eyes bounced open.
"G'morning," he yawned. Juliet laughed and kissed his cheek.
"Good morning sleepy head." Shawn chuckled and pecked her lips.
"Last night was amazing," Shawn said sitting up a bit to stretch. Juliet watched his muscles shake as he stretched. Shawn groaned happily as his back cracked and he settled back next to Juliet's body. His arm wound around her body and he placed his head next to hers. "Indeed it was." Juliet smiled kissing his nose.
"Does this mean you're not mad at me anymore?" Shawn questioned.
Juliet shook her head, "How could I stay mad at you?" Shawn shrugged and kissed her bare shoulder. "Oh and Shawn?"
"Yes?" Shawn's eyes met hers.
"I love you too." Shawn smiled happily and kissed her lips. Both got so involved in the kiss they didn't notice as the office door was opened and Gus walked into the room.
"Shawn!" Gus screamed dropping his case, his hands going to cover his eyes. Shawn and Juliet broke apart. Shawn was now glad that he'd taken the time to grab a blanket before falling asleep the night before.
"Gus! You weren't supposed to be here until later." Shawn stuttered at his partner. Juliet's face turned bright red as she pulled the blanket up to her chin.
"I don't have my route today and I thought I'd come in and do some paperwork." Gus mumbled behind his hands.
"Well don't do that again." Shawn's arm tightened around Juliet.
"I'm going to leave. I'll be back in an hour. I want both of you gone and dressed by that time. Understand?" Gus turned and hurried out of the room not waiting for an answer.
"That was so embarrassing!" Juliet sighed as she heard the door slam shut.
"Yeah well it wasn't the first time Gus walked in on us." Shawn reminded her.
"Yeah but we were just kissing the other times." Shawn nodded and kissed her lips. Juliet kissed him back and Gus's warning flew out the window as the kiss escalated and their tongues joined the party.
