Chapter 10

Juliet stared blankly at Shawn. A smile grew on her face. "Okay, you tricked me. Way to get revenge, Shawn." she chuckled. Shawn lowered his brow.

"No, Jules, seriously. I want to marry you." he continued. Shawn clicked his pen over and over again.

"S-Shawn." She whispered, feeling tears well up in her eyes for the umpteenth time today. She shook her head trying to find the right words. All she could do was shake her head. A lump grew in her throat. "Shawn." was all she could manage to squeak out. Shawn stared at her, concerned. "No, Shawn. We can't just go forward like that. All I was saying was that-" Shawn cut her off.

"-You loved me." Shawn completed her sentence flawlessly.

"But, I don't want to marry you! Not now anyways!" Juliet didn't realize her voice had raised.

"Not ever." Shawn mumbled, not meaning it.

Juliet clicked her tongue. She grabbed Shawn's hand. "I do love you, and I meant everything I said before, but you're looking too far into it." Juliet explained.

Shawn sighed and turned back to his paperwork. The room remained silent for a few seconds. Juliet raised Shawn's hand to her lips and softly kissed it. "We'll talk when your done." she whispered, setting his hand back on the table. She walked out of the room and exited the station.

At her home, Juliet fell onto her couch and closed her eyes. She felt herself weave in and out of sleep until she'd fallen into a deep slumber.

It was 1:00 AM when Juliet woke up to a knock on the door. It was a late hour, so Juliet grabbed her gun and slowly approached the door. She pulled it open to see Shawn's shivering body at the door. She breathed a sigh of relief, opening the door wider for Shawn to enter. He walked in rubbing his hands together in order to warm himself. Juliet sat back down on the couch she'd fallen asleep on, trying to keep herself awake.

"So, what are you doing here?" Juliet asked, trying to sound as nice as possible.

"You said we'd talk later," Shawn looked at his watch, "It's later." he stated matter-of-factually, his same smirk curled at his lips.

Juliet couldn't help but smile at him. "I meant, like, tomorrow later, not midnight." she defended.

"Actually it's 1:00." Shawn corrected, promptly followed by a moan from Juliet.

"Can I please sleep?" Juliet begged. "A wise man once told me that 'A double mommy deserves rest'." Juliet mimicked in his voice.

Shawn smiled, he sat down next to Juliet wrapping his arm around her. She rested her head on Shawn's shoulder, closing her eyes.

The next morning Juliet woke up in her bed, her head lay perfectly against Shawn's shoulder. She didn't dare look at the time. Shawn would've been awake by now, Juliet reasoned, but the blinding sun shining through the windows told her differently. As she moved to turn over and check the time, Shawn's arm flopped over her, snuggling her tight. Her eyes barely caught glimpse of the time. 9:07 AM, there was still time until Shawn would have to leave.

Juliet scooted up on the bed until her face was level with his. She gently gave him a "wake up" kiss. Shawn's eyes popped open, a smile growing on his face.

"Morning." Juliet barely whispered, their lips millimeters apart. Shawn stared at her, probably surprised that Juliet was flustered.

"Hey Jules. What time is it?" he asked. Juliet shushed him.

"It's only 9:10. You have, like, twenty minutes." Juliet hugged his neck.

Shawn gently kissed her on the cheek and rolled out of Juliet's bed, leaving Juliet laying alone in the seemingly colder bed.

"Jules I'm going. See ya." Shawn bent over and kissed Juliet's puffy stomach. Juliet stared at Shawn, not wanting him to leave. Shawn smiled and left the room. Juliet glanced at the time. She would have to get ready for work soon. Her mind was unusually clear for the first time in what felt like a decade. Juliet reached her arm to the ground and grabbed her bathrobe. She wrapped it around herself and walked into the kitchen. The smell of pancakes filled her nose. A plate of pancakes lay on the counter with a small note on the side of the plate. It read, Enjoy! See you at work, Sunshine!

Juliet smiled; her was so thoughtful. She grabbed the plate and began eating. After she was finished, she quickly got dressed and left her apartment.

At the station, Shawn greeted her with a smile, resisting the urge to kiss her. "Did you like the pancakes?" asked her. Juliet nodded, a smiled growing wider on her face. She sat down at her desk, checking a file next to her keyboard. It had all of the things that she'd have to do for today. She looked inside the folder to find a bunch of blank report papers. A moan escaped her throat, rumbling in her mouth. Shawn looked inside and cringed.

"Do you think Chief's mad at me? All she's done is give me reports to fill out. Not a single case." Juliet asked Shawn. He shrugged.

"How 'bout I help you?" he asked, smiling a sweet, loving smile.

"No, I didn't mean... I was just..." Shawn cut Juliet off by pulling up a chair. He winked at her; it was the only thing he could do inside the station.
