Chapter 12

Juliet's eyes opened and she saw two faces. Shawn's face and her obstetrician's face. "Jules!" Shawn grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"The babies?" Juliet asked, looking at Dr. Carmen. A smile grew on the doctor's face.

"They are perfectly healthy." she assured Juliet.

Juliet let out a sigh of relief and looked over at Shawn. His face looked concerned, he had something on his mind. Juliet smiled and thanked the doctor as she left.

Shawn kissed her on the cheek. "Jules, I think that this job is a little too risky for you. Especially if your having twins." he told her.

Juliet sighed, she was expecting this conversation. "Shawn, I'm a detective and I'm doing my job. Although it is risky, I have to do my job. It's no different then if I wasn't pregnant." She smiled.

Shawn shook his head, "But it is different. If you die, the twins die. That's three deaths." Shawn explained. He stared at Juliet sincerely.

A sigh came from Juliet's mouth. "I need to do my job. I will go insane if I become a stay-at-home mom." Juliet chuckled. "All that matters now, is that I'm okay and the twins are okay." Juliet smiled, brushing her lips against Shawn's.

He pulled away, "I want you to promise me that you will stick to paperwork and small cases." he said seriously.

Juliet groaned, "Fine." she sighed, grabbing Shawn's hand. He pressed his lips on her hand and stood up.

"Rest up, sunshine. The babies need it." he smiled, walking towards the door. Before opening it, he turned around, "By the way, Chief gave you two weeks off from work to recover." Shawn said quickly and left so Juliet couldn't argue. She opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a sharp pain by her stab wound. Juliet sucked in her breath and grabbed her stomach. She took a deep breath and rolled over on her side. Her eyes closed and she felt herself fall into a deep sleep.

A few days later, Juliet was discharged from the hospital and Shawn picked her up. He drove her to her house, questioning her the entire time. 'Do you need anything?" "Do you want me to stay with you?" Each time Juliet answered with a short 'no'. At the house, Shawn walked her inside and helped her into her bed.

"Shawn, I feel fine!" Juliet laughed.

"The doctor said that you're on bed rest for 2 days," he told her, kissing her forehead. "I have to go to work, see you soon. Love you!" he said, leaving.

Juliet stared at the ceiling, trying to figure out what to do for two days. I could read a book. Juliet thought. After a few seconds of thinking, Juliet felt another sharp pain, this time it was below her stab wound. She felt it again in the same place. Juliet rolled out of her bed slowly and stood up, clenching the middle of her stomach. She waddled to the bathroom, taking deep, steady breaths. Thinking it was just a stomachache, Juliet sat on the toilet and tried to 'pass' it. She noticed at trail of blood down her leg. Juliet gasped and looked around, thank god her cellphone was on the counter. She dialed Shawn's number into the phone and waited for him to pick up.

"What is it Jules?" he asked, concerned.

"I got a really bad stomachache and I went to use the toilet and now there's blood all of my leg." Juliet explained frantically.

"Call a doctor! I'll be over soon." Shawn said hanging up.

Juliet called her doctor who told her to call her obstetrician. She dialed Dr. Carmen's number and waited for her to answer.

"Hi, Juliet! How are you?" She asked.

"Not so good." Juliet explained what was happening and waited for a response.

"I'll get an ambulance on the way." Dr. Carmen said.

Juliet felt another pang of pain. She felt pressure on her stomach release and stood up. Something in the toilet caught her eye. A small human like figure lay at the bottom of the bloody water. Juliet screamed. It was a baby. Shawn burst into the door. He ran inside and found Juliet crumpled on the floor.

"Juliet!" he crouched down to her and lifted her up. "What's wrong?" he asked.

"The baby, Shawn. One of them... it's in there." Juliet pointed to the toilet. Tears fell from her face as she shook and sobbed into her hands. Shawn's mouth gaped and he held Juliet in his arms.

"It's okay. We'll be okay." Shawn hushed her sobs. There was a knock at the door and two paramedics walked in. They found Shawn and Juliet in the bathroom.

"Is everything alright?" one of them asked.

Juliet swallowed the lump in her throat, "I h-had a miscarriage." She cried, holding her arms around Shawn. The paramedic looked into the toilet and his expression immediately changed to a disgusted, woebegone face.

"My sincerest apologies ma'am. But I think you should call your obstetrician about this one." he smiled, tears welling up in his eyes. The man turned away and left, leaving Juliet and Shawn mourning by their toilet.
