Night numero uno at Jules's had been great. The food was delicious, her nephews were cool, and it was an excuse for Shawn not to spend time with Gus's sister, Joy. It was the first time Joy had been in town since they admitted to Gus's family that they had had a "fling", and Shawn hadn't quite told her that he had a girlfriend now. Avoiding her wouldn't be too hard, because Shawn planned on spending every second of the week Joy was visiting with Jules and her nephews. Or at least half of those seconds, he needed to see Gus too, just without a sister. Of course the plan with Jules was ruined when Juliet's phone rang way too early in the morning for Shawn's taste.
"O'Hara" Shawn heard her say next to him. Great, it must have been someone from the department; she was in cop mode.
"Don't leave Jules," Shawn said sleepily, "too early."
After hanging up the phone, Juliet turned to Shawn. "I'm sorry, I have to. Carlton needs my help with a case. Show the boys the Psych office or something, I'll be back tonight."
"M'kay," Shawn muttered, "be careful out there."
"I will." Juliet put on her usual gray skirt suit and kissed Shawn goodbye before leaving.
The rest of the morning was fun; Shawn took Juliet's nephews to the Psych office, and introduced them to Gus. The five boys started a Halo tournament on the Xbox, which Drake was winning, much to Shawn's annoyance. Halfway through a thrilling shootout between he and Drake, the phone started to ring. Shawn paused the game, and reached into his back pocket to answer, but froze when he saw the caller I.D.
"Shawn, who is it?" Gus asked, seeing the shocked look on his best friend's face.
"Santa Barbara Hospital."
Author's Chapter Notes:
Nothing really to say about this chapter, except that it's pretty short, which is not unusual for me. Psych not mine.
Chapter End Notes:
Hmmm, cliffhanger. Tell me what you think, I haven't planned out all of this story yet, so if there's something you really want to happen, reviews would make a big difference. Pretty please?
