Shassie 💕💖 In My Own Genderfluid Lassie AU

Chapter 7: Shawn's Girlfriend 💛💚

It was an ordinary day at the station for most so far including Karen who had just called the usual four into her office.  Detective O'Hara with Shawn Spencer the consulting psychic detective and Burton Guster stood infront of her desk as she began to inform them of their newest case.
"An- where is Lassiter?" The Chief asked.

O'Hara stepped forward, "Lassiter is unfortunately ill today and will not be able to come in to work Cheif ." She said.

Chief Vick nodded and went to continue but was soon interrupted by the sound of a ring tone. Of course it was Shawn's phone, they had already all guessed by the ringtone singing "I'm a Barbie girl!".

"Oh Sorry cheif I have to take this it's my girlfriend, she's sick." Shawn said, holding his phone to his hear. "Oh of course Carla don't worry ill be right there." Shawn said into the phone before he hung up and turned to The cheif who already waved him off knowing he would be leaving anyway.

"Now I'd still like your help on the case if you are willing Mr Guster." Cheif Vick said.

Gus was shocked but he stammered out an of course and him and Juliet started to analyse the information given to them.

A few hours later Gus and Juliet were still working on this case and had just gone back into the Cheif's office to update her when Shawn came barging in, phone in hand.

"Sorry Cheif! My girlfriend insisted I be here to help with the case!" Shawn said. The cheif raised an eyebrow at him but swiftly turned her attention back to Juliet and Gus.
Once they had finished updating her they left to continue their work and Shawn put Lassie on Speaker so she could help them with the case. And because she absolutely insisted. Lassie never missed a day at work and she wasn't going to start now, just because she was too sick to get there didn't mean she was too sick to solve a murder.

It only took them another hour to solve so Shawn ran straight into Cheif Vick's office with Carla on speaker, rambling about the case and his amazing girlfriend.

"Mr. Spencer what is this about?!" The cheif asked sturnly, raising her voice and standing up from her chair.

"Didn't you hear? My Wonderful girlfriend solved the case and said we could have pizza for dinner!" Shawn shouted excitedly as Juliet and Gus quickly rushed in after him. 

"What does Pizza have to do with this? And- wait a minute Spencer I thought I told you To stop bringing Civilians in on Cases!" The cheif argued but Shawn just looked confused.

"What Civilian?Gus? Wait is this racism? Cheif are you-" Shawn started rambling. The Cheif panicked and had to yell, "No! No this is definitely not about Guster. This is about your girlfriend Spencer.".

"Lassie?"

"Ye- Lassiter?"

"She's my girlfriend."

"Lassiter is your girlfriend?"

At that moment Lassie decided it would be best if she intervened before it got even more confusing or Shawn accused The cheif of being racist again. "Uhm Cheif Shawn is telling the truth it is me, I helped on the case." She said but she had been taking lessons on her speech so she sounded a lot more feminine than she usually did at work.

"That can't be Lassiter." Cheif Vick said, looking at the three people infront of her as if she were questioning their intelligence and her sanity.

"Oh um yes it is me. Sorry cheif I should have mentioned sooner. I'm Genderfluid. I guess I really have improved on my feminine voice." Carla said, explaining it to her in the voice she used around work colleagues and cheif vick.

"Oh. You have no reason to apologise. I was mistaken. Um I will need to have a meeting with you as soon as possible to discuss what you would prefer to be referred to as including pronouns and any other topic you feel necessary to bring up. But until then, Good job detectives and I will see you later." Cheif vick replied. She indicated for them to leave with a nod of her head.

Everyone smiled and Carla told Shawn that they would also be having donuts with pineapple sorbet for dessert. Shawn cheered and everyone still smiled.

At the end if the day everyone left work and enjoyed their evenings and all smiled warmly.
