"Every Parent's Worst Fear"

Based on "Psych"

Shawn Spencer sat in the Intensive Care Unit of the Santa Barbara Hospital. He had been sitting there for what seemed like hours even though it had only been forty minutes.

His best friend, Burton Guster, was there with him. Shawn's father, Henry Spencer, was on his way. Shawn's friends from the SBPD, Chief Karen Vick, Juliet O'Hara, and (even though they would never admit it) Head Detective Carlton Lassiter were busy putting the kidnapper behind bars. They were going to be down later as well.

"God! What's taking so long?" exclaimed Shawn as he got up and looked down the hall "Shawn, please" said Gus "Sit down" "How can I just sit there calmly?" asked Shawn as he turned to face Gus "She's in there…hurt…I couldn't do anything…"

Gus looked at Shawn and saw his best friend's eyes fill with tears. "No one could do anything" he said "No one could have expected Jennifer's brother to do what he did. No one could have stopped it from happening!"

"I could have!" yelled Shawn

Just then the doctor walked up behind Shawn and Gus. "Mr. Spencer" he said. Shawn turned around. "Yes. Is she ok? Can I go see her?" "We stitched up all of the cuts" said the doctor "But…" "But what?" asked Shawn. The doctor looked at him for a second. "Your daughter just fell into a coma"

Shawn had to steady himself up against the wall. "What room is she in?" he asked in a shaky voice "245" replied the doctor.

Shawn walked down to the room. Gus decided to let Shawn have some time alone with Olivia, even if she couldn't respond to anything he did or said.

Shawn walked slowly up to Olivia's bedside. Her face and arms were practically covered in stitches. He moved some of her dark, brown hair out of her face and behind her ear.

His eyes filled with tears again. This time, they started rolling down his cheeks. He knelt down next to the bed, laid his head on Olivia's unconscious body and started crying.

"Liv…" he said in between sobs "Please... don't die! I love you too much!"
