Juliet walked through the front door into the foyer of their house. She walked to the kitchen to put down her purse, she then walked in the living room and said, "I'm home!"
"Look Aaron! Mommy's home!" Shawn exclaimed.
"Yes I am! How are you two doing?" Juliet asked.
"We are good. I just listened to your voicemail you left me. I was asleep on the couch taking a nap." Shawn said.
"That's what I figured." Juliet said.
"Well I smiled through the whole thing. I am so happy that you stood up to Lassie." Shawn said.
"Well he was getting on my nerves with making smart remarks to you and complaining on everything you do." Juliet said.
"Me too. I didn't want to say anything that would piss him off." Shawn said.
"Well now, you don't have to worry about that. I am going back to work tomorrow. I figured that if I give him some space for like a day or so he would cool down." Juliet said.
Shawn grabbed Juliet's hand and pulled her down to sit on the couch and said, "Really? I was hoping you could stay home forever with me and Aaron."
"I wish I could too. I really need to go back to work and you do also." Juliet said.
"I am so lucky that I baby-proofed the office, so I can have my little man working with me and his Uncle Gus." Shawn said.
"I bet he would love all of you r 80s references." Juliet said.
"C'mon Jules don't be absurd. Of course he will like them. He is Shawn 2.0!" Shawn laughed.
"I know I know. I don't want to miss out on things while I am at work." Juliet said.
"I know you don't want to. If you want me to I will catch everything on my phone and email them to you during the day." Shawn said.
"Aww. Thanks Shawn! That would mean a lot to me if you would do that." Juliet said.
"Then I will do that for you!" Shawn said.
Shawn put Aaron in his bouncy seat and got up to get his laptop.
"Jules! Look what came in today!" Shawn yelled.
"What Shawn?" Juliet asked.
"Our pictures came in." he said.
"Wow! That was fast. Let me look." Juliet said.
Shawn made sure that the one with him, Juliet, and Aaron was on top.
Juliet gasped at the picture with Aaron's birthday which is also their anniversary on it.
"Wait? Did you do that?" Juliet asked.
"Yeah. I did it while I was checking out at the counter." Shawn said.
"Thanks Shawn. I needed something for my desk at work. I love how you put our anniversary and Aaron's birthday on here. Very clever Mr. Spencer." Juliet said.
"Thank you Mrs. Spencer." Juliet said.
"Happy Birthday Jules. I wanted to tell you this morning but I wanted for you to see your present." Shawn said.
"Thank you Shawn. This is really sweet." Juliet said.
"You're welcome Jules. I wanted to give you something special this year since we have a new member to the Spencer family." Shawn said.
"I know. Your birthday is coming up in April which is in 6 months so I know what you are getting." Juliet said.
"Wow! I haven't noticed. Too many exciting things happening this past month and a half." Shawn said.
"Yeah. I know. We need a date night this weekend. We can either leave him with your dad or the chief whatever you want." Juliet said.
"We can let him stay the night at my dad's and we can go out and then come home and sleep good tonight." Shawn said.
"Sleep sounds so good. I know we were both up with him most of the night last night. I maybe got 5 hours of sleep maybe not even that." Juliet said.
"I got maybe 3 because I watched TV a lot last night. I tried to get up with him so you could get some sleep, but once I checked on him he kept crying so I came and got you. I thought you could settle him down." Shawn said.
"I did calm him down. Maybe he should sleep in here like we planned." Juliet said.
Shawn nodded his head in agreement and said, "You are right. Great idea."
Shawn gave Juliet the framed picture for her desk. He also got two more made, one for his desk and one for the table in the foyer.
Shawn heard a knock on the door. He opened it to find Lassie standing in the doorway.
"Lassie what are you doing here man?" Shawn asked.
"I came to apologize to the both of you about how I acted. I know I don't apologize much, but I did realize what you did for Juliet was nice and sweet and I also came to wish her a happy birthday." Carlton said.
Juliet walked up behind Shawn and said, "Thank you Carlton. It really means a lot when you realize you have done something that was wrong."
Carlton smiled.
"So how are you man? I didn't mean to blow up at you this morning. I just really didn't want Jules to go off to work yet." Shawn said.
"It's ok Spencer don't worry about it." Carlton said.
Shawn stood there with a shocked look on his face.
"Well I better be going. I just stopped by to say sorry and happy birthday." Carlton said.
"Good night Lassie." Shawn said.
"Good night Carlton." Juliet said.
"Good night you two." Carlton said.
Shawn shut the door and locked it.
"Well that was a surprise." Shawn said.
"I know. I didn't expect him to come here and actually apologize to me and you." Juliet said.
"Hmm. I really appreciate that of him." Shawn said.
Juliet went into the kitchen and grabbed something out of her purse and said, "Shawn, I decided to get you a present for being such a good husband and father."
"Jules. You didn't have to do that." Shawn said.
"Yes I did. Now here." Juliet said.
Shawn took the box and unwrapped it and saw a cup with pictures Juliet took ever since Aaron was born.
Shawn's eyes teared up a bit and said, "Thank you Jules. I really like this."
"You're welcome Shawn. Why are you crying?" Juliet asked.
"I don't know. This is so sweet. I love you Jules." Shawn said.
Juliet wiped Shawn's tears off his cheeks and kissed him.
Shawn put the cup down and hugged Juliet.
"Well I am going to bed. Are you coming to bed or are you going to stay up a little while?" Juliet said.
"I am going to come in there and lay down and watch TV with you if you don't mind." Shawn said.
"Of course I don't mind." Juliet said.
Shawn grabbed Aaron and brought him into their bedroom and put him in his playpen next to Shawn's side of the bed.
Shawn and Juliet got in the bed and Shawn turned the TV on. 5 minutes later they were all asleep soundly.
