On The Way Home

On the way home, from the station, Garrett and Maggie went and picked Morgan up.

Garrett pulled into Henry's driveway and got out and went to get Maggie out.

Maggie opened her door and smiled at the hand waiting for her.

"Thank you baby." Maggie said.

"Anytime, baby." Garrett said.

They walked up the steps and walked into the elder Spencer household.

"Hello." Maggie said.

Henry came around the corner holding Morgan.

"Hey guys. How was the thing?" Henry asked.

"Good. He wants to meet everyone. So meet us at Outback at 7:45." Garrett said.

"That's good. I guess you guys want to go home and chill with baby girl here for a little bit."

"We do. Thank you for watching her today."

"She's always welcome here, just like you guys. Love you guys."

"Love you guys too."

They grabbed Morgan's things and went home.

When they got home they saw Shawn and Juliet home. They went inside and saw them in the kitchen kissing.

"Um…there are kids in the house." Maggie joked.

"And?" Juliet asked.

"One is my kid."

"She's a month old…"

"True. But stop it. You're making me uncomfortable."

"Sorry buttercup, go away if you don't like it." Shawn butted in.

Juliet looked at Shawn weird, "Buttercup?"

"It just popped in my head."

Shawn went back to kissing Juliet.

"Oh my God." Maggie groaned.

"What?" Juliet asked.

"You two. Nauseating.

"Get over it. I've been kissing your dad for a long time now."

"And?"

"I still love it. Get over it."

"You too?"

"You don't even like kissing in public."

"That's in public. I'm in my own house."

"Point taken. What are you two doing home anyway?"

"Um…we took a half day. We didn't think you two would be home so soon." Shawn said.

"We told you that we were going home."

"I didn't hear that part."

"Mom, why don't you tell him these things?"

"He doesn't listen, Maggie. You know this." Juliet said.

"I do too listen." Shawn stated.

"Remember when we were dating and I told you COUNTLESS times to stay in the car, so you don't get hurt?"

Shawn nodded.

"You never listened those times. You could've gotten killed Shawn."

"You know how I work Jules."

"This is not the time or place to argue that right now."

"We are just going to go get clean." Maggie said.

"Maggie stay!" Shawn said.

Maggie looked at Garrett and nodded.

Garrett left them and went downstairs with Morgan to play Playstation.

With the Spencers

"Ok guys…I didn't mean for you two to start fighting." Maggie said.

"We're not fighting. We are just discussing things." Shawn said.

"You're fighting. I know it when you two are fighting. You two rarely fight, but when it happens it happens like this."

Juliet nodded, "Baby, can we not do this right now or ever. You know I don't like to bring up the whole 'psychic' thing. I know it's been over 20 years, but it still hurts."

Shawn wrapped his arms around Juliet, "Jules, I didn't know it still hurt you. I know I messed up a lot in our relationship and that was a big one, but I hoped you gotten over it."

"I won't get over something like that, Shawn. It hurts too much. I forgave you, but it just isn't that easy, baby."

"Then why did you forgive me?"

"Shawn, do not cross that line with me right now. I mean it."

"No Jules, I want to know."

"It's because I love you, you idiot. I wasn't going to let something like that break us up. I was miserable without you. I didn't want to be without you a day in my life."

"But you won't forget it?"

"Would you forget something like that? That's a big lie Shawn. It's like saying I have a kid out of wedlock."

"Wait? You have another kid?"

"No! All my kids are yours. But I was saying a situation like that."

"No I wouldn't forget it…oh wait…I get it now."

"There it is!"

"I'm sorry Juliet."

"It's ok, Shawn. I love you."

"I love you too."

Maggie left them and went downstairs and saw Garrett playing video games while on the phone with Hunter.

"Maggie just came in, I'll call you tomorrow." Garrett said.

"Who was that?" Maggie asked.

"Hunter."

"What's up with them?"

"Him and Reagan are moving in together."

"It's about time."

Garrett chuckled.

"Want to put that down for a second and talk to me?" Maggie asked.

Garrett paused the game and looked at Maggie.

"I'm happy for you, baby." Maggie said.

"Thanks Mags. I'm glad you were there for me." Garrett acknowledged.

"Is it too soon to bring up your mom?"

"No. What's up?"

"Are you going to tell her that you met him and that he's a nice guy?"

"I don't know. Our relationship is already ruined, so probably."

"What are you going to do about William?"

"I don't know. I might stop seeing them all together. It's just that they hurt me so bad over the past few years and now finding out William isn't my father kind of puts the icing on the cake."

"Baby I know family is important to you, if you want to have some sort of relationship with them, you need to tell them, but on the other hand, I was there to see them hurt you, so I don't want to see you get hurt again."

"You always know the right things to say don't you?"

"I am a woman."

"Oh hush. You have all that O'Hara wisdom."

"My grandma is smart."

"I'm talking about your mom, goofball."

"I know. Thank you. How about we just hang out until 5:45 and we get our showers and stuff out of the way."

"Perfect."

Around 5:30

It was around 5:30 and Maggie went into the bathroom to take her shower and get cleaned up.

45 minutes later, she came out of the bathroom with her hair dry and make up on.

"Baby, where are you?" Maggie asked.

"In here." Garrett called out.

Maggie walked into the living room and saw Garrett holding Morgan.

"Wanna go take a shower?" Maggie suggested.

"I guess so. It's just that she's so cuddly." Garrett complained.

"I know. Go get cleaned up and then you can bathe her."

"Deal. I am going to bathe her first then take a shower."

"Sounds good. So go bathe her."

Garrett laughed.

Garrett got up and bathed Morgan.

Maggie went upstairs to fix Morgan a few bottles and put her formula in the container.

Juliet came downstairs and saw Maggie fixing Morgan's stuff.

"Hey." Juliet said.

"Hey mom. What's up?" Maggie asked.

"Nothing much. You look nice."

"Thank you. Garrett is bathing Morgan if you want to go down there."

"Nah, I came to tell you that we are about to get clean, so go tell Garrett to hurry up."

"Where are Trey and Em tonight?"

"Trey is at a friend's house, and Emily is at school."

"Is this friend of Trey's a girl?"

"Yes, nosy."

"Oooh, I need details."

"You can get those from him. He doesn't tell me anything."

"Does he tell dad?"

"Some stuff."

"Thank you."

Juliet laughed, "You definitely have all the O'Hara in you."

"I get it from the best."

"You are the only one who got O'Hara genes."

"Good or bad thing?"

"Both. I want more than one kid to look like me, but I'm glad it's you. You're my favorite. Don't tell the other ones."

"I already knew that. Aaron is your favorite boy."

"How do you know this?"

"I listen very well, just put it at that."

Juliet laughed, "Go get Garrett to shower."

"Ok. Finish this?"

Juliet nodded and finished fixing Morgan's diaper bag for the night.

Maggie went downstairs and saw Garrett putting Morgan in her bouncy seat.

"Go take a shower, mom and dad both need it." Maggie said.

"Ok. Do I need a tie?" Garrett asked.

"I would. Just dress like you're going to the office."

"Sweet. Love you."

"Love you too."

25 minutes later Garrett came out of the bedroom dressed and ready to go.

Maggie heard the bedroom door open and looked at her husband, "Baby, you look good."

"Thanks. You look hot too." Garrett said.

Maggie smiled, "Let's go. It's 7:20."

Garrett nodded.

Maggie grabbed Morgan and brought her out to the car and grabbed the diaper bag and put it in front of Morgan's seat.

Garrett got in and put gum in his mouth.

"We're about to eat." Maggie pointed out.

"I know, I just need fresh breath and you know this." Garrett said.

Maggie nodded.

Garrett left the house and pulled into Outback's parking lot 15 minutes later. He got out and helped Maggie out and grabbed Morgan's seat and diaper bag.

"Thank you." Maggie said.

"Always." Garrett said.

Garrett grabbed Maggie's hand and walked into the establishment.

Tyler looked up and saw Garrett and Maggie walking in.

Garrett saw Tyler walking towards them. He put Morgan and her stuff down and hugged Tyler.

"Hey Garrett." Tyler said.

"Hey Tyler…or dad." Garrett said.

"How are you?"

"Good. How are you?"

"Good. You have a good looking family here kid."

"Thank you."

"You look nothing like your mother. I bet that pisses her off."

"It does."

Tyler laughed.

Garrett stepped back, "Tyler, this is my wife Maggie."

"Hello Maggie. How are you?" Tyler asked.

"Good. It's great to meet you." Maggie said.

"You too."

Morgan started fussing.

Garrett turned around and picked Morgan up, "This here is our little girl, Morgan. Just turned a month old the other day."

"Can I hold her?" Tyler asked.

Garrett let Tyler hold Morgan.

A few minutes later Shawn and Juliet and the rest of the gang walked in.

"Maggie…" Shawn said.

Maggie turned around and poked Garrett.

"Tyler these are my in-laws, Shawn and Juliet Spencer." Garrett introduced.

Tyler handed Morgan back to Maggie. He went up to Shawn and Juliet and shook their hands, "Hey guys. Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too. Those two old folks over there are my parents, Henry and Madeline Spencer and then that's Karen, Maggie's godmother and Carlton, Maggie's godfather." Shawn said.

"Shall we get seated?" Garrett suggested.

"Sure." Tyler said.

Garrett went up to the hostess and asked for a table big enough to fit all of them.

The hostess brought them to their table and took their drink orders.

"So Garrett are you in school?" Tyler asked.

"Yeah. I'm a Junior at UCSB and the captain of the baseball team there." Garrett said.

"You started a family young."

"I did, but I love that I started it early. She was a little unexpected, but we are happy she happened."

"When did you two get married?"

"Almost a year ago. We make one year next month."

"What date?"

"16th."

"Nice. How long have you two known each other?"

"Since freshman year of high school."

"High school sweethearts?"

"Yeah. I wouldn't have it any other way though."

Garrett caught up with his dad and everyone else had pleasant conversation with Tyler

At the end of the dinner, Garrett paid for everyone.

Tyler got up, "It was really good meeting you guys. Garrett let me know when you have another ball game I would love to come see you play. Plus let me know if you want me to play babysitter while you two go out."

"Will do. It was so good to finally meet you." Garrett said.

"Hug?"

Garrett hugged Tyler and said, "Thank you for meeting me. I've been wondering who you were."

"It was good finally meeting you. You turned out to be a wonderful young man. You have a good looking family and everyone is very nice. Keep them around as long as possible."

"I will try to. I will call you later, ok?"

"Sounds good. Bye son."

"Bye."

Tyler said his goodbyes and went and left the establishment.

Everyone else filed outside and said their goodbyes to everyone.

Garrett and Maggie got in the car and took off to the house.

Maggie went inside and put on her pajamas and fed Morgan while watching TV.

Garrett came in the room shirtless and took off his pants and got in bed with Maggie.

"Good night baby." Garrett said.

"Good night. I love you." Maggie said.

Garrett kissed Morgan and then kissed Maggie.
