Here we go, so maybe Katie will stop bugging me now :P

Hope you enjoy it

"Do. You .Love. Abigail?" Katie repeated the question. His pause made her angrier and she moved behind Abigail grabbing her throat.

"Well do you? What carefully how you answer, if she isn't important to you then you wont care what happens to her will you?"

He was stuck, does he really love her? He couldn't't be sure, if he said yes, and he didn't't the machine would know and Abigail may die, if he said no she would still die.

He had two seconds on what to answer

"I-"

"FREEZE!" yelled Lassie from behind us, charging in literally all guns blazing.

Appreciate

Katie made a hissing noise as she backed away. Carlton and what appears to be the entire Santa Barbara Police Department came rushing in.

Shawn let out a shaky breath, he was saved - in more ways than one- and began to relax.

Then without warning, Katie pounced and grabbed Abigail by the throat, pressing a knife to hard to her that blood began trickling down her throat.

He tried to get out but was tied too tightly down as anger rose in him. Carlton and the rest of the police had backed down slightly.

"Let her go, you don't want to make this any worse than it all ready is." Carlton tried to talk her down.

"NO! you don't understand, I'm helping them, saving them from each other. I have to do this." she pressed the knife more tightly, making her point. He instinctively gripped the chair tightly.

"Katie, listen to me." said Juliet quietly stepping a bit closer. The softness of her voice caused Katie to pause.

"Don't you think they've proved themselves enough? Abigail risked her life to help Shawn, and he risked his life to come here, without telling us."

"But how did you know he was here is he didn't tell you?" the crazy look returning in her eye.

"We have two psychics in the family."

Katie was beginning to lose it even more, what Juliet said made sense…

"They obviously love each other very much to do this." Shawn was sure he was the only one who noticed the quiver in her voice when she said love, but wasn't 100% sure as his heart missed a beat at that word.

Katie let out a strange wailing noise before dropping the knife and turning to her photos.

"I didn't want them to go through the same pain I did." she said softly, before several officers apprehended her and lead her away.

Abigail was crying silently, at both the fear and the relief. When they both were free she ran and through her arms around Shawn.

"I love you, I love you, I love you." she whispered over again.

He didn't reply, instead he held her close which she took as his way of saying it back.

But his eyes never left Juliet's.

****

Back at the station, Abigail and Shawn had to give their statements.

He was waiting outside for Abigail to finish. His usual bouncy self was now sitting motionless.

He heard Jules walking over to him, she placed a hand on his shoulder, despite all that has happened he could feel a small smile appear on his face.

Standing up to face her, she began,

"Shawn, I-" but she was cut off by an unexpected hug from the psychic. She hugged him back as tightly, both of them realizing what could have happened.

Someone cleared their throat from behind them and they broke apart to face Abigail.

She had gotten cleaned up but her face was still white, and there was still fear in her eyes. Although they narrowed at Jules and Shawn.

Confused he looked down and realized that he still had his arms around her waist and her hands were on his shoulders. Breaking fully apart, he went over to Abigail and asked if she was ok, nodding she took his hand in hers and walked them out.

Outside he took a deep breath, and looked down at Abigail.

She was looking straight ahead. They stayed there for…who knows how long, before she said,

"What was your answer going to be?" it was barely more than a whisper.

"Huh?" he pretended to not understand, she looked up at his hazel eyes and he saw she was trying to hold back tears.

"When that psycho ginger asked, do you love me, what were you going to say?"

He opened and closed his mouth like a fish, unsure of what to say. Then he saw how much she had already been through.

Giving a small smile he pulled her close and replied

"Of course, it would have said yes, I-I love you." she threw her arms around him and cried.

Shawn returned her hug but couldn't shake the horrible feeling at the pit of his stomach.

Ohh Shawn loves Abigail??? what about Jules?? :P
