Juliet woke up to her cell phone ringing. She was in on her bed still dressed in the clothes she was wearing yesterday. She put reached over to wake Shawn up but only grasped empty air. She sighed, Shawn groggily she reached for her phone and checked the caller id, it was Lassiter.
"Hello?" she mumbled as she sat up.
"O'Hara, there's some news on Shawn. He woke up and is about to go into surgery, you should come down to the hospital." For a second she thought that Lassiter sounded excited but she rejected the idea.
"Why does he need surgery? Is something wrong?" she was very worried now.
"I don't know, the doctors won't tell us," her partner said.
"Ok, I'll be there as soon as I can. Call me if anything changes." She managed to say before she hung up the phone. She took a shower in record time, changed into fresh clothes, and downed a bagel as she drove to the hospital all the while worrying about Shawn and praying that he would be ok.
She finally arrived and raced to the waiting room hoping that she made it before his surgery started.
"Juliet, you made it. How are you?" Gus asked from as he walked over.
"I'm just worried about Shawn." She answered truthfully, he gave a sad smile.
"Same here." They made their way to the same seats they had sat in the first time they were here. Lassiter was pacing back and forth with Henry both of them muttering threats and curse words under their breath. Lassiter looked up as she sat down next to Gus.
"Good O'Hara you made It here, there's still no news on how Shawn's condition." As if on cue a doctor walked towards them with a grim look on his face. She gasped as she recognized the face, it was the doctor who was treating Shawn and he was looking directly at her. She elbowed Gus, not taking her eyes off the doctor.
"Hey what was that for... OH MY GOD!" Gus burst into tears and everyone in the room was staring at him.
"Get yourself together Guster." Lassiter barked at Gus as the doctor walked over to them. The doctor closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Shawn is going to need surgery but his chances of surviving are," he paused "very low, but if he doesn't get it then he will die. He has decided to get the surgery and has requested," he looked down at piece of paper in his hand, "Burton Guster." Gus looked up the surprise clearly written on his face.
"Ok." He got up and walked with the doctor to Shawn's room. After ten minutes he returned sobbing. He left hospitable without telling them what was going on and the doctor didn't come back. After an hour he returned with a huge box and carried it in the direction of Shawn's room. A few minutes later he returned to sit with them.
"Guster what's going on?" Lassiter demanded. Through the tears Gus stammered
"I promised not to tell." He didn't look so good so now one pressed the matter any further. After another hour of silence the doctor walked in the room. Everyone ran to him bombarding him with questions and demanding answers.
The doctor held up his hand to stop the flow of questions. "Shawn survived the surgery," he paused letting them have their small moment of happiness, "but there were some complications and, well, we had to bandage his face. He requested to have you come visit him after the surgery." He looked directly at her as he spoke. She nodded and the doctor led her down the hallway to Shawn's room.
They stopped at the door and the doctor started to speak again. "Shawn didn't want you to watch when the bandages were removed. So, will you face the wall and not turn around until I tell you to?" the request seemed odd but she nodded and to her surprise the doctor smiled.
He opened the door and Juliet walked in but what she saw almost made her cry. Shawn was lying in bed but she couldn't even tell if it was Shawn. His face was covered in bandages with a breathing tube protruding from it.
"It's time to remove the bandages." she followed Shawn's request and turned around and faced the window.
Suddenly there was a lot of noise and it sounded as if more people were entering the room. People were whispering in hushed tones but she couldn't make out what they were saying. Finally someone tapped her back and said
"You can turn around now Jules." She turned around at the familiar voice. Tears sprang to her eyes when she saw Shawn down on one knee with a small box in the palm of his hand. She looked around the room and saw a string Quartet of doctors and a mini Eiffel tower. The quartet started to play a beautiful song that lifted her heart. When she looked back at Shawn he gave her his big goofy grin.
"Juliet O'Hara you are the best thing that has happened to me and over the years I have grown to love you. That love has grown so strong that I can definitively say that I love you more than pineapple. You have made me want to become more mature and maybe get a more practical vehicle. The point is that you are the most important thing to me and I can't imagine life without you, will you marry me?" he reviled the ring and Juliet gasped at the ring. It was beautiful and encrusted in perfect little diamonds. "This was my grandmother's ring and I can't think of a better woman to give it to."
Juliet was now full out crying but she finally managed to speak
"Yes, Shawn a thousand times yes!" she saw Shawn's grin turn into the biggest smile that she had ever seen on him. Shawn gingerly placed the ring on her finger.
"It looks beautiful on you." He whispered before drawing her into a passionate kiss that rivaled the one they had in Canada. When they finally separated she smiled and whispered
"I Love you." Shawn whispered back into her ear
"I Love you more" she smiled
"Oh you want to make a competition of this do you?" he laughed as he picked her up and set her on the bed. She saw him wince and was instantly concerned.
"Shawn are you ok?" he gave her a devious smile and flopped down on the bed moaning.
"Oh woes' me I think I'm dying. The only thing that will save me is true loves kiss." He closed his eyes and puckered his lips. She laughed and leaned down and kissed him,
"Dose that work?" she noticed that the doctors had left the room.
" perfect, now let's cuddle!" they snuggled on the hospitable bed together before drifting off into sleep, holding each other as they dreamed of their future together.
