Chapter 16:

The next day Shawn woke up on the couch in Juliet's hospital room. His neck was stiff but he didn't care. Jules was sitting up in bed and watching him. When she seen him look at her she smiled.

"Good morning sunshine."

"Hey." Shawn said smiling.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Best sleep I've had in two weeks." Shawn said sitting in the chair next to her bed.

"We need to talk about some things." Juliet said. "Like a certain secret that you were keeping from me."

"Oh that. I…"

"Shawn, relax. It's ok. I won't tell anyone." Shawn smiled.

"So you heard what I said then?"

"I heard everything."

"Everything?" Shawn said his smile fading.

"Everything." Juliet smiled. She leaned in closer to Shawn. "I love you too." She grabbed his head and pulled him into her. She felt his lips touch hers. She felt him kiss her back. They pulled apart and smiled at each other.

"So what does this mean for us?" Shawn asked.

"Nothing changes. Well, I mean our relationship changes from friends to dating to maybe something more." She got a playful grin on her still pale face.

"You should rest." Shawn said.

"I've been resting for two weeks, Shawn." Juliet said. She saw the sling on his arm. "What happened to your arm?"

"I got shot trying to save you."

"I told you not to come and rescue me. You could have been killed."

"If I didn't come you would have been."

"Tell me one thing. Did they get the guy?"

"Yes. He'll be in jail a long time."

"Good." They sat and talked for awhile and they joked. Shawn laughed. God she missed that laugh. She loved that laugh. She thought. And that smile. And his eyes.

After another week, in the hospital Juliet was allowed to go home. Her family took care of her. Shawn was there everyday. She couldn't go back to work for another two weeks. Shawn spent every waking moment with her.

Her family went back to Miami, when they knew she was going to be ok. Shawn took to taking care of her after that. When she was able to go back to work, she had to do deskwork for awhile.

She looked at life differently now. She was happy with Shawn. He was definitely a different person then she thought he would be in a relationship. He made her happy. She couldn't remember the last time she was this happy.
