One Friday Night

One Friday night Shawn called Maggie.

"Hello?" Maggie asked.

"Hey baby girl." Shawn said.

"Hey daddy. What's up?"

"What are y'all doing tonight?"

"Nothing. Why?"

"Mom and I want to take you guys out to eat."

"Ok. What time?"

"It's 6:45 now, so like an hour?"

"Perfect. I will tell Garrett and we will be there. Same place?"

"Yes ma'am!"

"Ok dad. I love you guys."

"Bye Maggie."

Shawn hung up the phone

With Garrett and Maggie at Garrett's House

"Baby!" Maggie shouted.

Garrett came running down the hall and stopped in front of Maggie, "What's up?"

"We are going to dinner with my parents in an hour. Go get cleaned up and shaved."

"Ok. Formal?"

"Just a sports coat and jeans."

"Ok."

Garrett went into his bathroom and got cleaned.

15 minutes later Maggie was ready with some clothes she left over at his house. She went to the extra bathroom where she kept her makeup and stuff. She took out her hair straightener and straightened her hair and then put on some makeup.

"Babe, I'm ready!" Garrett said.

"Ok. I'm putting on mascara!" Maggie yelled.

Garrett ran to the extra bathroom and saw Maggie doing makeup.

"Maggie Grace…" Garrett started.

Maggie turned around and said, "Garrett David…"

Garrett wrapped his arms around Maggie, "You don't need makeup."

Maggie smiled, "Well, I'm just like my mom and I have to wear makeup, so I don't look like death."

"You're so cute. Hurry up!"

Maggie nodded and finished up and grabbed her purse and phone.

Garrett was on the couch and heard Maggie walk down the hall and smiled.

Maggie walked out the house and into the car and started it.

Garrett turned off everything and locked the door and met Maggie in the car.

10 minutes later they pulled into the restaurant and got out and met Shawn and Juliet inside.

Shawn saw Maggie and Garrett walk in and got Juliet's attention.

Juliet looked up and saw Maggie. She got up and ran to Maggie.

Maggie saw her mom and ran to her.

"Mom!" Maggie said.

Juliet embraced her daughter, "I missed you."

"I missed you too. How are you?" Maggie asked.

"I'm great. The boys miss you."

"I miss them too. How's Aaron?"

"He's ok. The break up was a rough one."

"I heard. What happened exactly?"

"Let's talk about that at the table."

Maggie nodded and went to Shawn.

"Hey daddy." Maggie said.

Shawn turned around and hugged her.

"Baby girl. How are you?" Shawn asked.

"Good. I miss you guys." Maggie said.

"I miss you too sweetheart. Me and Garrett were just talking about you."

"What did he say?"

"He said, that you've moved half of your clothes from our house to his."

"Are you mad?"

"Not at all, baby. You've been dating 9 months. Me and your mom moved in with each other when we had our 1-year anniversary. That's also when I proposed."

Maggie smiled.

The buzzer for the table went off and Shawn brought it back to the host and the hostess guided them to their table.

"Hi, my name is Ashley and I will be your waitress tonight. Would you guys like something to drink?" Ashley asked.

"Water for all of us?" Shawn asked.

Everyone nodded.

"Water please."

Ashley wrote that down and went to go get the drinks.

Shawn and Garrett sat on one said and Maggie and Juliet sat across from them.

"Mom, what happened with Aaron and Heather?" Maggie asked.

"She packed up everything and moved back down to Louisiana without telling anyone." Juliet said.

"How upset was Aaron?"

"He was upset. He came home in tears. He ended up punching a few walls thinking that he did something wrong."

"But he didn't right?"

"He did nothing, but love her for 3 years."

"That makes me so mad."

"I know sweetheart."

Garrett and Shawn waited to be queued in the conversation.

"Mr. Spencer I was reading an old newspaper and it said that you are the SBPD's Resident Psychic." Garrett brought up.

Shawn nodded, "What I'm about to tell you does not leave this table."

Garrett nodded.

"20 something years ago I came back to Santa Barbra from running away from my dad. To make some money, I called tips into the police station. They were very detailed and accurate. The head detective at the time called me in for questioning. He had his partner in the interrogation room with him and I saw that he was in a relationship with her. That's how I met Jules. He was about to arrest me when I said that I was psychic. He called bullshit on the lie and I actually told him things that no one knew about him."

"How are you so good at your job though?"

"My dad trained me. I inherited my mom's eidetic memory and I had super observational skills, so he put two and two together and trained me to become a super cop. I didn't want to be like my dad at all. That's part of the reason why I ran away."

Garrett smiled.

"The Chief of Police came outside and saw me and told me if I was lying I would be sent to prison."

"What led you to lie?"

"To save my ass from jail. After a few cases, I decided to open up 'Psych' with my best friend, Gus. He worked at some lame ass pharmaceutical company and was reluctant to join, but he hasn't missed a case in 20+ years. One day I walked into my favorite diner and found this amazing blonde sitting in my seat. I walked over to her and said, 'Excuse me, you're in my seat.'"

Juliet smiled at the memory and winked at Shawn.

"Of course she sassed back and said, 'Am I?' I told her yes and I showed her my snake I made out of my straw wrapper. I used this cute 8th grade voice to pick on her. I noticed a few things about her, she had two cats at the time and she had a picture of her parents in her purse. She was amazed that I knew that right off the bat. I told her I was psychic. Not even 15 minutes later she pulled out a gun. I thought that was the hottest thing that I've ever seen. But then one grumpy old man came in and said, 'Spencer! Stay away from her.'

"Was that Uncle Lassie?" Maggie asked.

Shawn nodded.

"Up until that moment I didn't know she worked for the same company that I work for. So we solved a few cases and we had this one particular case that had an axe welding maniac. It was just Juliet and the maniac in the room by themselves. I went up there and I saw all the badassness come out of her. She grabbed the axe from Alice and I sighed. I didn't know I loved her until that moment."

"You loved me then?" Juliet interrupted.

"Of course. I couldn't help myself. As soon as I saw you were ok, I just got so happy."

Juliet smiled.

"Now fast forward 2 years, we had this case. We had this killer named Yang. She has been obsessed with me since I was a little kid. I had to play her little game and I won. The end of the case was at a drive in theater. I had a date with Abigail…a girl that I stood up 10 years prior to that. Juliet here asked me on a date. She said, 'Maybe the best things, the richest things aren't supposed to come easily…"

"And sometimes the moments that make the most sense happens when everything else doesn't." Juliet continued.

"During her speech I was so happy that this amazing woman wanted to take me on a date, but it also broke my heart that I couldn't say yes. So I told her I was on a date with Abigail. She walked away and my heart broke into a million pieces."

Juliet got up and went over to Shawn and hugged him.

Garrett got up and switched places with Juliet so she could be with Shawn.

"What happened after that?" Garrett asked.

"So me and Abigail dated for about a year. Then another Yang case came. This one is a bit darker. It was a case based off a Hitchcock film, 'Psycho'. Yin tied up Abigail under the pier at high tide and he tied Juliet to the top of a clock tower. Now that was the hardest decision I've ever had to make. I wanted to save Juliet first, she was the first thing that popped in my head, but then I knew I had to save Abigail because she was a civilian."

"Who got Juliet?" Garrett asked.

"I sent my two best friends. Gus and Lassie. I knew they would take care of her. I saved Abigail. I was sitting on the boardwalk and Abigail broke up with me. Yeah, I was hurt, but that also meant I had a chance with Juliet. Now after the Yin case, Juliet went to work at city hall. After a few months there, she came back to the SBPD. As soon as she got back a 'Criminal Profiler' named Declan showed up and swept Juliet off her feet."

"I'm sorry daddy." Maggie said.

"Hold that thought baby girl." Shawn said.

Maggie nodded.

"Now Declan was rich. Like crazy rich. He had a helicopter and all that stuff. He helped us solve a case. One day I asked Juliet to walk and get ice cream with me, because I was going to tell I wasn't psychic, but Declan took Juliet aside and told her that he was a fraud first. I was heartbroken again. During that case, he decided he was going to take Juliet to the Amalfi Coast. After that case ended, we had a spy case that needed his help too. I was so torn up about Juliet going to Italy or wherever the hell it was with Declan. One night after the case, me and Gus had microphones hooked up to us to catch the spy. I started telling him how pissed I was about Juliet going with Declan. He said that it wasn't fair to act like that. I had a serious Shawn moment and said, 'You think I don't want her to be happy? I want her to be happy. But... serious Shawn moment, here. I want to be happy, too. And for some reason, I can't imagine that happening without Juliet.' Little did I know, that Juliet was in that van listening to every word I said."

"Why didn't you go after him mom?"

"Just keep listening."

"After the case was over, I went over to Declan's house to thank him for his help on the case. Juliet came down stairs and Gus and Declan went upstairs. I made small talk with Juliet and then got serious for a moment and said, 'Take lots of pictures. Not of sight, don't take pictures of buildings. Take pictures of moments, 'cause that's what matter. Capture 'em here' and I pointed to my head and then 'hold on to them them here' and I pointed to my heart. After that, Juliet kissed me, in Declan's living room. To be honest, That was the best kiss that I've ever had."

"Go mom."

"There's more." Juliet said.

"So, I left Declan's house knowing that Juliet would be off on a trip to the Amalfi Coast with Declan. That next day me and Gus had to go to Canada for a case and I dropped by the station to see if I caught Jules before she left. I was too late, so I went to Canada with Gus. I got to Canada and met Lassie at the prison in Canada and I saw this blonde ponytail walk out of a room and I looked up and saw Juliet. I smiled the biggest smile that I have smiled in my life. We wanted to talk about the kiss, but the case interrupted us too many times. Then we were on that bridge and I gave a speech saying that I wanted to settle down and then she kissed me. After 5 years of chasing the girl of my dreams I finally had her. That same week Lassiter found out about us. But then he hooked me up to a lie detector and asked if I was psychic. I said yes, but I also knew how to fake a polygraph thanks to Henry. He asked me if I loved Juliet, and I said yes. I wasn't faking that part. I really did love her."

Juliet looked at Shawn and said, "I loved you too."

"That next year was a little rough. We had a Lassie's wedding to go to. We had a client named Herb to help. I solved the case 'psychically' but then at the reception I let Juliet borrow my jacket because she was cold. She found the evidence of how I solved the case. She asked me if I was psychic. I couldn't lie to her anymore. I lied to her for 7 years. I don't know how I lied to her for that long. I didn't want to lie to the love of my life anymore. She asked me if everything was a lie, including our love. I told her that falling in love with her was never part of the plan."

"You're an idiot dad." Maggie said.

"Yeah, thanks Maggie. Like I didn't know that already."

Juliet rubbed Shawn's back.

"So we broke up. We broke up for 3 long weeks. Those 3 weeks ended up with me being in the hospital."

"Why?" Garrett asked.

"I couldn't eat, sleep, or drink anything. Everything worth living for walked out of my life. At the time, Juliet was everything in my life. I loved her more than Gus, and that's saying a lot. I saw my entire future with her. A house, engagement, our dope wedding, kids, and us growing old together. That was gone, so I just let myself go."

"Once again dad, you're an idiot." Maggie said.

Shawn looked at Maggie.

"But we got back together and then we got married and have been for 20+ years." Shawn finished.

"That's awesome." Garrett said.

"Garrett, if you ever lie to Maggie, I will personally come hunt you down and make you regret everything you've ever done." Shawn threatened.

"Yes sir. I promise. Which brings me to this."

Garrett pulled out a ring box and said "Maggie Grace Spencer, I know we are young, but I promise you not to lie to you, hurt you, and leave you. Will you accept this promise ring?"

Maggie smiled with tears running down her face and nodded.

Garrett put the ring on her left hand and kissed her.

"I love you." Garrett said.

"I love you too." Maggie said.

Shawn got up and pulled Garrett over to the side.

"Good job son." Shawn said.

"Thank you Mr. Spencer. I hope that one day in a few years you will give me your blessing to making Maggie my wife." Garrett said.

"Absolutely."

Garrett hugged Shawn.

With Maggie and Juliet

"Maggie I'm so happy for you." Juliet said.

"Thank you mom. I thought he was going to propose." Maggie said.

"I did too, but I would've known, but he just made you a promise and you need to keep that promise."

"I will. Can I move in with him now?"

"Let's talk to dad about it."

Maggie nodded.

Shawn and Garrett walked back to the table and sat down.

"Daddy can I move in with Garrett now?" Maggie asked.

"Yes you can baby girl. I'm so happy for you." Shawn said.

"Thank you daddy."

"You have to come over everyday. It's only 10 minutes away."

"Deal. You're still gonna do my laundry right?"

"Sure."

Maggie laughed.

They ate and enjoyed everything about that night.
