Here We Go Again
I've been meaning to update for a really long time, but my AP classes have left less time for this than I thought. But don't worry, I'm not going anywhere :) Plus I have all this week off for break, so expect some major updates to BOTH of my stories. In short I'm back!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
After Juliet's unexpected confession, the night flew by and soon Shawn was awakened by the Miami sun streaming in through his window. He rolled over to one side and took a deep breath, the events of the past few days running through his mind and ending with last night. Well this certainly changes everything, he thought. What do I do now? Before he could answer his own question, there was a knock on his door.
"I thought you said you were picking me up."
"I'm really sorry. I overslept." He ignored Gus' annoyed looks. "Dude, I really need to talk to you. Jules called me last night. Apparently…"
"Do you mind if I use the bathroom first? You know how I feel about airports. I need a shower."
Shawn nodded. Gus was always cranky after long trips. After a while,he'd be completely normal. Almost as soon as the door shut behind Gus, there was another knock.
"Morning." Sierra smiled at him. "I brought you breakfast!"
"What are you doing here?" he asked. He wasn't sure what else to say, especially since he now knew that she was his daughter.
"James just picked up Mom for their morning run on the beach so I thought I'd stop by the farmer's market and bring you this." She motioned to the fresh pineapple in her hand.
Definitely my girl, he thought with a smile.
"Sierra, uh, there's something I need to tell you."
"Shoot."
"Ok. Well…"
"No, not that. I left the rest of the stuff in the car. I'll be back."
As soon as she turned to go, the bathroom door opened and Gus strolled out.
"Much better." Shawn noticed that a smile had returned to his face. Good as new. "So what did you need to tell me?" He nodded at Sierra. "Hello." Then he did a double take, the smile quickly fading. "Who are you?"
"Sierra O'Hara." She looked cautiously at Gus and then ran out the door.
"Shawn, why is there a girl in your hotel room? I swear, if this turns out to be some kind of illegal scheme of yours, I will kill you. Besides, I thought you said that this was about Juliet."
"It is. That's her daughter. And mine, too."
Gus' hard, angry face softened into one of sympathy and concern. "Does she know?"
"No, but Jules told me that I should be the one to tell her. I was about to right before you interrupted."
"Sorry about that. Look, if there's anything you need from me, I'm here."
"Thanks buddy. That means a lot. Now let's go meet your niece!"
"Gus, meet Sierra."
"Nice to meet you. I'm sorry about earlier."
"No problem. It's nice to meet you, too. I've heard a lot about you."
Shawn noticed his friend swell with pride. "Well, Juliet was a good friend of mine…"
"Then you'll be willing to help us? My mom's about to marry this total creep and I need as much help as I can get to break them up."
"Shawn."
"She's right. That guy's a creep." Gus watched fear and determination flash through his friend's eyes. Suddenly, he knew what he had to do.
"What did you have in mind?"
Yeah, I know. Short chapter. But like I said, there will be some MAJOR updates mid-week. (Including a heartfelt moment between Shawn and Sierra that makes me happy just thinking about it)
As always, you guys rock! Thanks for reading.
