Sunday Morning
Shawn and Juliet got up around 8:30 and got the boys up and dressed.
Shawn took a shower and then got dressed and then bathed Maggie and got her dressed. After he got her dressed he went back into the bathroom and put on cologne, fixed his hair, and brushed his teeth.
Juliet came in the bathroom and saw Maggie sitting in her little tub and said, "Goodmorning my sweetpea."
Shawn turned around and said, "Goodmorning Jules."
"I was talking to Maggie, not you."
Shawn looked at Juliet and said, "Aren't you just sweet this morning."
"Yep. Now turn around and give me a kiss or I will force one out of you."
Shawn turned around and wrapped his arms around Juliet's waist and kissed her.
"Goodmorning." Juliet whispered.
"Goodmorning love. Did you sleep well?" Shawn asked.
"I did. Are the boys up?"
"Yep. They are dressed."
"Alright. I am going to get dressed."
"Okie dokie. Me and Maggie are going to chill in the bedroom with you."
"I don't care."
Shawn grabbed Maggie and put her on the bed and went to his jewlery box and grabbed his necklace and his watch. He put his jewlery on and then grabbed Maggie and put her in his lap.
"So Jules, do you think your mom will move here?" Shawn asked.
Juliet took off her pajamas and then sat down next to Shawn and said, "I hope so. Shawn you know how much I miss her."
Shawn pulled Juliet in for a hug.
"I know you do sweetheart. I miss her also. I don't even know her that well. That needs to change. We have been married for almost 7 years."
"You have a point. Hopefully she moves before Ewan gets married if she does to move."
"You know she's proud of you right?"
"She is?"
"Yeah. We were talking yesterday while you were out shopping with Claire."
"What did she say?"
"She told me that she is so proud that you are head detective, a wife, and a mother to 4 beautiful kids."
Juliet smiled and leaned into Shawn a little more.
"She's is proud of both you and Ewan."
"What about Bailey?"
"She's proud of him also. He is still a baby in her eyes. He is only 23."
Juliet thought about her age and said, "You know we are almost 30?"
"Yes I do. And I wouldn't want to turn 30 with anyone else than with you."
"Ok. Why are you acting so sweet today?"
"I don't know. I woke up in a good mood."
"That's good. Now I need to finish getting ready."
Juliet got up and got dressed and went into the bathroom and fixed her hair and then came out with makeup on and perfume on.
Shawn looked down and saw Maggie playing with something.
"Maggie what are you doing?" Shawn asked.
Juliet looked up and said, "She has clothes in her hand."
"Whose?"
"Yours."
"Why does it always have to be me?"
"She likes you."
"Of course she does. Her momma loves me."
Juliet smiled and said, "We need to go."
Shawn got up and tore the clothes out of Maggie's hand and Maggie fussed.
"Fine. Have my t shirt. You will probably end up wearing it anyway." Shawn said.
Juliet grabbed her watch and necklace and asked, "Babe, can you put my necklace on?"
Shawn put Maggie back down on the bed and put Juliet's necklace on for her.
"Thank you." Juliet said.
"No problem." Shawn said.
Shawn picked Maggie back up and went into the living room and saw his kids and Juliet's family on the couch.
"Good morning." Shawn said.
"Morning Shawn. How are you?" Maryanne asked.
"I am doing fine. How are you?"
"Great. Ready to get home."
Juliet came down the hall and said, "Before you leave, we wanted to take you to breakfast with us and Shawn's parents."
Maryanne got up and hugged Juliet.
"Thank you baby girl." Maryanne said.
Juliet hugged her mom and didn't let go.
"Julie, honey, I'm hungry." Maryanne said.
"Ok. Let's get going then." Juliet said.
"Are we taking your car?" Shawn asked.
"Yes. There is room for everyone." Juliet said.
Shawn grabbed Juliet's keys and went out to her car and put Maggie in her seat. He took away the t shirt for a split second so he could buckle her up and she cried.
Juliet ran to the car and saw Maggie crying and Shawn holding the shirt. She got next to Maggie and grabbed Shawn's shirt and gave it back to her.
"There you go baby." Juliet said.
Shawn looked at Juliet and said, "I was trying to get her buckled."
"I can do it. I'm sitting back here anyway."
"Ok. Thank you."
"Did you get her diaper bag?"
"Yeah it's under her seat."
"I'll fix a bottle when we get there."
"That's fine. She's not fussing which is good."
Shawn smiled and got in his spot and started the car.
Before Maryanne got in, Juliet moved the boys' seats to the way back so her mom could sit next to her.
Maryanne got in and said, "This is a nice car Juliet."
"Thank you mom. We needed a bigger one. The Nissan was getting a little small." Juliet said.
"When did you get it?"
"A couple of years ago."
"It has a DVD player for the boys."
"I know. Best feature ever."
"Does it come with headphones?"
"Of course. They are under the seats."
Shawn's phone rang.
"Juliet, can you answer the phone please?" Shawn asked.
Juliet grabbed Shawn's phone and answered, "Hello?"
"Goodmorning Juliet. Where is Shawn?" Maddie asked.
"He is actually driving. Want to talk to him?"
"Please."
Juliet pulled the phone from her and said, "Your mom wants to talk to you. Sounds important."
Shawn grabbed his phone and said, "Hey mom. What's up?"
"Are you guys on your way?" Maddie asked.
"Yes why?"
"We are here with Karen, Lassiter and their families."
"Really? Why'd you do that?"
"Maryanne never met them before. Figured Juliet would want her to meet her 'family' before she left."
"Thank you so much mom. I appreciate it. I will see you in about 10 minutes."
"Alright Goose. Be safe."
"Yes ma'am."
Shawn hung up the phone and kept driving.
"So baby what did Maddie want?" Juliet asked.
"Just to tell me something." Shawn said.
"Can I know?"
"Not this second. When we get there you can."
"I'm so impatient. You know this."
Shawn looked at Juliet through the rear-view mirror and smirked.
Shawn pulled into the breakfast establishment. He parked and said, "Guys don't get out just yet. I need Juliet out here though."
Maryanne got up so Juliet could get out.
Juliet grabbed Shawn's hand and walked where he wanted to go.
"What's wrong?" Juliet asked.
"Go inside and see." Shawn said.
Juliet went inside and saw her 'family.'
"Guys! What are you doing here?" Juliet asked.
Maddie got up and said, "I figured that you want your mom to meet your 'family' before she left. Look I even brought Gus along."
Juliet ran and hugged Maddie.
"Thank you Maddie. I really appreciate this." Juliet said.
"You're welcome sweetheart. Go get the rest of them." Maddie said.
Juliet went outside and saw Shawn sitting on a curb facing the road. She ran up to him and tackled him.
"Thank you so much baby." Juliet said.
Shawn fell in the grass and said, "You're welcome. Mom set all this up."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Are you hungry?"
"Yes."
Shawn got up and let everyone else out.
Everyone else got out and Juliet went over to Maggie's side of the car and grabbed her seat and her diaper bag.
Shawn came over to Juliet and asked, "Does she still have my shirt?"
"Yep. She's sleeping on it right now." Juliet said.
Everyone else walked in and Juliet and Shawn were right behind them.
Gus saw Shawn walk in and said, "Hey dude. What's up?"
"Nothing. Thanks for coming Gus. Means a lot to me and Jules." Shawn said.
"You're my brother Shawn."
"You know that's right."
The waiter came and sat everyone down.
Karen came up to Maryanne and said, "Hey I'm Karen Vick, I am Juliet's boss and friend."
"Nice to meet you Karen. Thank you for watching my Juliet for me." Maryanne said.
"The watching and protecting was all by Shawn."
"Shawn did that before they dated?"
"Yeah. Right when she moved here he did."
"I like him a lot more now."
Karen laughed.
Carlton came up to Maryanne and said, "Mrs. O'Hara, my name is Carlton Lassiter, I am Juliet's partner."
"Nice to meet you Carlton. You taught her well." Maryanne said.
"You have a special girl Mrs. O'Hara."
"Thank you Carlton."
Gus got up and introduced himself.
"Mrs. O'Hara, I am Burton Guster and Shawn's best friend and Juliet's good friend." Gus said.
"Nice to meet you Burton." Maryanne said.
"You can call me Gus."
"Alright Gus."
They all visited until 2 hours before Maryanne's plane was scheduled to take off.
Shawn took out his wallet and Henry stopped him.
"Dad what are you doing?" Shawn asked.
"Paying." Henry answered.
"Dad, I set this up. I am paying. It is my treat to Juliet's mom."
"Can we split?"
"Fine."
Shawn and Henry split the check and then they all filed out of the establishment.
Juliet went up to Henry and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome Juliet. We are always happy to see you smile." Henry said.
Juliet gave Henry a hug and whispered "You are the best dad out there."
Shawn heard that and looked at his dad.
Henry hugged Juliet back and kissed her on the top of her head and said, "You are the best daughter ever."
Shawn grabbed Juliet's hand and pulled her to him.
Juliet wrapped her arms around Shawn's waist.
"Thank you everyone for showing up." Shawn said.
"You're welcome Shawn. I am taking the boys. Do you want me to take Maggie?"
"I think we are good."
Shawn took his crew and took off to the airport.
Shawn got to the airport and parked and got Maggie' stroller out from the back and put her seat in it and then grabbed Maryanne's luggage.
Juliet saw Shawn doing that and got out and said, "Here let me help you."
Shawn pushed Maggie out of the way and let Juliet help.
They got all the luggage out of Shawn's car and locked it and went inside to get her checked in.
Maryanne got checked in and then went to her gate.
Juliet sat down next to her mom with Maggie in her lap and said, "Thank you for coming down here mom."
"No problem Julie. Thank you for flying us out here. I know Frank was a problem for you." Maryanne said.
Juliet nodded.
Shawn came up to Maryanne and said, "Can I get a picture with Maggie and grandma please?"
"Of course you can." Maryanne said.
Maryanne put Maggie in her lap and smiled for the picture.
"Now Jules get in there and hold Maggie." Shawn said.
Juliet did what Shawn told her to do.
Shawn took the picture and said, "My 3 favorite girls."
Maryanne smiled.
Shawn sat on the floor and looked up at Maryanne and said, "I'm going to miss you Maryanne."
"Shawn I'm going to miss you too. Thank you for taking care of Juliet for me." Maryanne said.
"It is my honor to take care of the woman I love."
Juliet smiled.
Bailey came up to his mom and said, "Mom I'm going to miss you."
"Bailey you will be home in a few days." Maryanne said.
"No I won't. I am apartment hunting out here."
Juliet looked at Shawn and said, "Bailey you're going to move out here?"
"Yeah. I'm going to transfer from Miami to University of California – Santa Barbra."
"Mom are you going to move out here?" Juliet asked.
"I don't know Juliet. My life is back in Florida. It's where I grew up, got married, and had my kids. Too many memories to leave." Maryanne said.
"Mom, you're going to be all by yourself down there." Bailey said.
"Bailey I'm a big girl."
"Mom no if's and's or but's about it, I am buying a house and you staying in it."
"Bailey Ryan! Don't speak to me like that."
"Mom I'm going to worry about you."
"I'll think about it. I will call you in a few days to tell you my decision."
Maryanne's flight got called and Juliet handed Maggie to Shawn.
Juliet went over to her mom and said, "I hope you choose to come down here."
"I don't know Juliet." Maryanne said.
"I'm going to miss you mom."
Juliet started crying.
"Julie, don't start crying." Maryanne said.
"You mean so much to me mom." Juliet said.
"I know you do. I haven't seen you in a few years. I promise I will be back for your brother's wedding."
"I'm holding you to that."
Maryanne smiled and hugged Juliet tighter.
Juliet let go of her mom and went over to Shawn.
Shawn opened his arms for Juliet.
Juliet fell into his arms.
"It's ok Jules." Shawn whispered.
Bailey and Maryanne said their goodbyes.
Finally Maryanne made her way over to Shawn.
"Shawn Spencer! No words can describe how thankful I am that my daughter chose the perfect man to be with." Maryanne said.
"You mean that?" Shawn asked.
"I do. I'm so proud of her. Look at her 15 years ago see was at the academy, now she's Head Detective at the SBPD, married to the most wonderful man, and has her own family."
Shawn looked down at Juliet and saw her wipe tears away.
Shawn let go of Juliet and went and hugged Maryanne.
"We're going to miss you a lot. Don't be a stranger." Shawn said.
Maryanne hugged Shawn and said, "Now let me say goodbye to my granddaughter."
Shawn pulled Maggie's stroller to Maryanne and Maryanne took her out.
Maggie looked at Maryanne and smiled.
"I'm going to miss you baby. Make sure your daddy takes care of your momma." Maryanne whispered.
Maggie giggled.
"You look just like Juliet, Maggie." Maryanne said.
"You're beautiful like she was and still is."
Juliet turned into Shawn and hugged him.
Shawn bent down and kissed Juliet.
Maryanne put Maggie back in her seat and said, "I love you guys. Julie I will call you as soon as I get home."
"Ok mom. Be safe. I love you." Juliet said.
They said their last goodbyes and Maryanne boarded her plane.
Shawn brought Maggie and Juliet over to watch her plane take off.
Once Maryanne's plane took off, Juliet turned to Shawn and said, "She's really gone."
"Yep, she's really gone." Shawn said.
Shawn pushed the stroller and they went out to the car and went home.
Shawn pulled into the garage and let Juliet and Maggie out.
Juliet went inside and sat down on the couch with Maggie.
Shawn and Bailey came inside and Shawn grabbed a beer and sat down on the couch next to Juliet.
Juilet brought Shawn's ear towards her and whsipered, "Ready to talk to Bailey?"
Shawn nodded.
Shawn sat up and said, "Bailey."
"What's up?" Bailey asked.
"We love you Bailey, we love having you here and in our kids' lives, but when Aaron asked to go get pancakes with you yesterday that hurt Shawn's feelings. They go get pancakes just the two of them every weekend." Juliet said.
"It was just pancakes."
"I know, but pancakes are something special that Shawn has for Aaron. Shawn felt like he was being replaced as a father when Aaron wanted to spend the whole day with you and only you."
"Shawn, dude, I am so sorry. You should've let me know." Bailey said.
"Aaron was so happy. I couldn't kill his happiness. I live for my kids' happiness. It's one of my top priorirtes." Shawn said.
"I'm so sorry dude. I'll go check in at a hotel."
"Bailey we aren't kicking you out. We are saying just let Shawn have a little time with Aaron." Juliet said.
"I got it. Thank you guys for telling me."
Juliet and Shawn smiled.
The rest of the day was peaceful as ever. They enjoyed the rest of their day by visiting and telling old stories.
Thanks for reading. Going to write the wedding series sometime this week, If I have enough time.
What do you think Maryanne will choose? Miami or Santa Barbra?
STAY TUNED!
