I'm sorry guys but this is the last chapter. I know I promised some of you chapters but you never came back to me about them. My computer is a meat head and it didn't save the chapters that I had written. By the time I realized they were gone I had forgotten the requests. I made this last chapter a happy one. Yes there is still cancer in it but it's happy. Thank You for reading!

"Hello Mr. Spencer how are we doin today?" Doctor Austin asked walking into the room. Shawn Spencer looked at the doctor and frowned.
"How am I doing?" his voice was hoarse "I was just diagnosed with a brain tumor and you want to know how am I doing?" Shawn snapped.
"Mr. Spencer we are positive that this tumor is small and with a few weeks of chemo it'll be gone and it won't come back." Austin assured.
"And how much will that cost?"
"I'm not sure yet…"
"Because I don't have insurance and-" Shawn said but Austin stopped him with a cough.
"Stop worrying about that now and let's just go over your schedule," Austin said pulling out a piece of paper.
Thursday June 12, Santa Barbra California 2019
"Okay you have the camera?" Juliet asked getting out of the car.
"Jules I have the camera… Wait no I don't," Shawn said and Juliet stopped, she turned to her husband.
"You forgot the camera!" she yelled.
"I was joking Jules," Shawn said pulling the camera out of his pocket.
"Stop it," Juliet said smacking his arm and grabbing the camera.
"Why are you so stressed?" Shawn asked as they started walking again.
"It's Toby's kindergarten graduation Shawn," Juliet sighed and she stopped holding up the camera.
"I have batteries," Shawn assured her and she nodded. They walked over to their seats and sat in the black, metal chairs.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Spencer," Jenny Carton Toby's teacher said.
"Hi Jenny," Juliet said.
"We're having a problem with Toby would you mind talking to him?" Jenny asked.
"Sure," Shawn said standing up and they followed Jenny to a room down the hall.
"Mommy!" Toby yelled running into Juliet's arms as soon as they walked into the room.
"Toby what's wrong?" Juliet asked noticing the 4 year olds red eyes.
"I don't wanna go up there," Toby sobbed placing his head on Juliet shoulder, his arms around her neck. Juliet turned to Shawn for help.
"Toby you have to be a big boy," Shawn said taking him from Juliet and placing him on his feet.
"But daddy-" Toby started.
"Now Toby uncle Lassie said he had a present for you but you can't get that present if you don't go up there." Shawn said.
"Are you sure?" Toby asked his blue eyes piercing Shawn's green ones.
"I'm sure," Shawn told him biting down on his lip.
"You alright?" Juliet asked putting a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm fine," he said too quickly.
"Make me proud," Shawn said standing up and they walked out of the room back to the auditorium. Carlton, Gus, Karen Vick and Shawn's parents were seated and waiting for them. It went Carlton, Gus, Henry, Maddie, Shawn, Juliet and then Karen. The principal went onto the stage and gave a speech before calling out the first names. They clapped along with everyone else; Shawn cracked his neck and shut his eyes. It seemed like there was suddenly two of everything, he took his hands and started rubbing his temples.
"Shawn? Sweetie are you okay?" Maddie asked turning to her son noticing his sudden change.
"Yeah mom," Shawn's teeth gritted.
"Toby Spencer…" The Principal said. Toby walked up the stairs and to the principal, the clapping and cheering got too much for Shawn and he suddenly fell foreword. He smacked against the pavement, his head hitting a chair.
"Shawn!" Juliet screamed kneeling next to him. The people in front of them stopped clapping and they turned and some of them even screamed. Soon everyone had stopped and was looking around.
"Call 911!" Carlton yelled at Gus who took out his phone. Juliet shook Shawn but he didn't move.
"Come on Shawn!" Juliet yelled.
"Lift his head up," Henry commanded.
"Daddy!" Toby screeched from the stage. Toby made to run to his dad but Jenny grabbed him before he could.
"Shawn can you hear me? Please wake up," Juliet said tears flowing down her face.
Santa Barbra General 10 Minutes Later
As soon as they arrived at the hospital Shawn was whisked behind the double doors.
"Any word?" Carlton asked and Juliet shook her head.
"They haven't said anything," Juliet told him whipping her tears.
"I'm sure he's just fine," Carlton assured putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Where's Toby?" Juliet whispered.
"With Henry and Maddie," Carlton answered as on cue Henry, Maddie and Toby walked into the room.
"Mommy where's daddy?" Toby asked walking up to Juliet.
"Um… Sweetie daddy's been hurt," Juliet said as she started to cry again.
"Is he gonna be okay?"
"I- I- I don't know," Juliet answered honestly. Toby wrapped his arms around her neck and gave her a hug. Juliet gave him a hug back and held him in her arms; her left hand was on the back on his head curling into his hair.
"Do you want me to take him?" Carlton asked.
"No," Juliet's body shook with sobs.
"He'll be fine," Maddie tried to sound sure but she honestly didn't know either.
"Is daddy going to die?" Toby asked and Juliet started to sob harder.
"No, now don't say anything about that around your mom. Don't even think it or say it again." Henry said taking Toby from Juliet. Juliet let him go and fell into the arms of her mother in-law.
"Shawn will be just fine Juliet," Maddie said.
3 Hours Later
"Spencer?" A Doctor asked walking into the room. Juliet looked up and nodded, Henry stood up.
"I'm his father, this is his wife." Henry said.
"Well um… Mrs. Spencer my I speak to you?" The Doctor questioned looking at Juliet.
"Henry?" Juliet asked Henry nodded and helped her stand. They followed the doctor into his office and they sat in the chair in front of his desk.
"What's wrong with my son?"
"Well a few years ago Shawn was seen in Dallas Texas about a brain tumor and well… we think it may have come back."
"He had a brain tumor?" Juliet asked Henry.
"I didn't know," Henry told her.
"He asked us not to inform anyone. I'm Doctor Austin I was the one who diagnosed him and set up his therapy sessions. I just happened to have been transferred here last month," Austin said.
"What are we going to do? He has a son and a wife," Henry said wrapping an arm around Juliet.
"I can have him scheduled for surgery," Austin told them and Henry thought.
"Shawn has to make the decision," Henry answered.
"Alright,"
"Can we see him?"
"Yes you may but I'll only allow 2 people at a time," Austin said. Henry nodded and he helped Juliet stand and walk out of the room.
"You and Maddie first," Juliet whispered. Henry told Maddie the situation and they walked into Shawn's room. 10 minutes later they walked out, Gus and Carlton went in next.
"We'll stick around just in case you want us to take Toby," Maddie told Juliet and she nodded.
"Your turn," Gus said walking out of the room the detective following him.
"Toby, baby wake up," Juliet said shaking Toby slightly.
"Where we going?" Toby yawned.
"We're gonna see daddy," Juliet said picking him up and carrying him into the room. Gus shut the door behind her. Shawn's eyes were closed, his head resting on the pillow. He suddenly moved and opened his eyes looking into Juliet's.
"Daddy!" Toby yelled jumping down from Juliet's arms and running to Shawn.
"Hey bud," Shawn said weakly hugging him.
"Are you going to be okay?" Toby asked.
"I hope," Shawn whispered his eyes never moving from Juliet's, Shawn let go of Toby and opened his arms to Juliet. She walked over and fell into his embrace, she started crying again. Toby seemed to sense that his parents needed alone time because he backed out of the room.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Juliet asked her head on his chest.
"I'm sorry Jules…"
"Why didn't you tell me? Don't you think I have the right to know?" Juliet questioned.
"I do Jules. I just didn't know how to tell you," Shawn said.
"How bad is it this time?"
"Grade 2," his answer hung the air. The only sounds were coming from Juliet as she cried.
"Toby was so scared," Juliet whispered looking up at him.
"Was he?" Juliet nodded.
"Can you stay with me Jules?" Shawn asked.
"Shawn the doctors will only let me stay for 10 minutes."
"Screw the doctors, I need you Jules." Shawn said. Juliet sat up and moved around so she was lying beside him in the bed. Her head was on the pillow next to his, he turned so he was on his side and he held her to him.
"I'm not letting you go," Shawn said firmly.
"As in you won't let me leave or you won't die?" she was blunt and to the point.
"Both," Shawn whispered nuzzling his nose into her hair.
"Ms. Spencer your time is up," Austin said walking into the room.
"Mrs." Shawn corrected.
"I'm sorry but you must go," Austin told Juliet.
"No. She's staying with me," Shawn argued.
"Mr. Spencer I-"
"I don't care what you think or what you have to do. For the past 7 years I've slept with my wife, in the same bed. This doesn't change anything," Shawn hugged Juliet closer to him. Juliet squeezed his arm and snuggled into him not letting go.
"Please don't make me call security," Austin begged Juliet shot up and glared at him.
"My husband was just told he could basically die at any time. We made a promise saying in sickness and health that we would still be there. You aren't making me leave him. I don't know if you know what's it like to be married but if you were in our shoes you would be doing the same thing." Juliet snapped Shawn put a comforting hand on her arm.
"Fine. Just don't get in the way," Austin shot back leaving the room.
"Wow… go Jules," Shawn said as she laid back down with him.
"I'm serious Shawn. I'm going to be by your side no matter what," Juliet said.
"And if I die?" Shawn asked quietly and Juliet didn't answer.
4 Weeks Later
Juliet walked into Shawn's room, Toby was sitting on the foot of the bed. He and Shawn were talking about random stuff.
"Hey mommy," Toby said as Juliet sat down next to Shawn.
"Hi sweetie," Juliet said letting a smile go.
"Why are you smiling?" Shawn asked looking at his wife.
"Maybe because I have news…" Juliet hinted.
"Is it daddy news or all of us news?"
"Mostly daddy right now," Juliet answered "Toby can you go into the hall real quick?" Juliet asked Toby. Toby nodded and ran into the hallway.
"So what's this news?" Shawn asked as Juliet moved to sit across from him.
"Well Shawn I just talked to Austin he said that everything is going good and that… you're cured." Juliet said happily.
"Wait? No more tumor?" Shawn asked and Juliet nodded her head.
"Why did Toby leave the room?"
"He told me this after he told me that I'm pregnant," Juliet said with a smile.
"You- you're pregnant? We're having another baby?" Shawn questioned and Juliet nodded.
"I was 2 weeks late and I thought it was just because of stress but I got it checked out and it turns out I'm pregnant." Juliet explained.
"So let me see… You're pregnant?" Juliet nodded "I'm cured of a tumor?" Shawn continued with a nod from Juliet.
"And Toby wants to know what sex is?" Shawn said before he could stop himself.
"Wait what?" Juliet questioned looking at him.
"He overheard some nurses talking. He asked me and I told him it…"
"You didn't…" Juliet shook her head.
"I did," Shawn smiled wiggling his eyebrows.
"You're bad," Juliet smacked his chest playfully and kissed him.
"I love you Jules,"
"I love you Shawn,"
It was long but it was worth it! :D
