Chapter 51: Prom?

MEGHANS POV
I walk down to the garage, I'm the second one there, first is Walt. I'm feeling better today, the morning sickness is getting weaker. Sly walks in one to two minutes after I get down stairs. I sit down in my spot and take out my notebook and start writing. As soon as I start writing Happy and Toby walk in, they are adorable together. Paige comes in about 5 minutes after Happy and Toby. It looks like she dropped Ralph off already. Shawn walks in and I jump up a bit and give him a hug. I really like him, I've always liked him. I go back to my spot and continue writing. Shawn sits down next to me and looks at what I am writing, even though he doesn't have a clue what it means.
"Meghan, can I ask you something?" Shawn asks me.
"Shoot." I respond. I feel the whole team look in our direction. He takes a paper out of his back pocket and unravels it, it says:
I know I'm not the smartest but you would be a 'genius' to come with me.
Prom?

I can feel my heart race when I read that last word.
"Shawn, I would love to come with you to prom." I respond a smiling growing on my face. I give him a huge bear hug.
"I was hoping you would say that." He says hugging me back. We turn to the team the whole team is smiling, especially Paige.
"When is it?" I ask Shawn.
"Tonight." He responds.
"Tonight?! I don't have an outfit!" I respond.
"I've got just the thing." Paige says running up the stairs. I sit on the kitchen counter and wait for Paige to come back. I criss cross my legs and wait, my distressed black jeans, red sneakers and black 'LA' flowy crop top make me feel thin, I've gained a bit of weight from the baby and I know I will have to wear maternity clothes soon enough. After a few minutes Paige comes back with a light pink/black dress, it's really pretty.
"Have you been planing this?" I ask her.
"Shawn told me first, so I picked this outfit for you. It really expresses you, try it on." She responds. I take the dress and walk up stairs to my room. I slip on the dress, its cut out in the stomach area so you could see my stomach a bit. (picture in media) There are also some small black heels on my bed, so I put those on too. I walk down to the garage, I feel pretty. I look at Shawn as I reach the bottom of the stairs, his eyes get wide, I don't think I've ever seen a guy look at me like that. I walk over to Shawn and stand next to him.
"What do you think?" I ask everybody nervously.
"You look... gorgeous." Shawn says, his eyes still wide. I can feel my heart beating. I go back upstairs and change into my original outfit. It's only 2:48 right now and the dance isn't until 7:00 so I still have time to work on my project. Shawn plays a video game on the Xbox in the living room while I write in my journal. Paige walks over to me.
"Are you excited?" She asks sitting next to me.
"A little nervous, but for the most part excited." I respond even though I'm a lot more nervous then I'm letting on.
"Your going to have a great time, I promise." Paige says smiling. I nod and get back to work and so does Paige. Time flys by fast. Before I know it, its 6:30 and have to start getting ready. I put on my beautiful dress, black heels and a black purse. I decide to take my hair down from my usual high pony tail and leave it down, I take three pieces of hair on each side of my head and braid them, tying them in the back of my head so it makes sort of a crown. I put on a necklace that Cabe got me as a birthday present a while ago. I grab my trench coat and head down stairs and wait by the door for Shawn. He left around 6 to get ready so he should be back soon. Paige and the rest of the team walk over to me and tell me to have fun.
"You've gotta seize the moment." Toby says smirking, this makes me smile. Shawn walks in 2.2 minutes after Toby says this. He's wearing a black tuxedo with a light pink handkerchief in his pocket that matches my dress, he looks so handsome. He puts a corsage on my wrist and we walk out arm in arm. He drives us there in his mom's station wagon and I like it, I was never a fan of limos or fancy cars, it just wasn't me. We talk a lot on the way there. When we get there it is exactly 7 O'Clock. We find a place to sit and set our stuff down. We walk out on to the dance floor a tall unfamiliar boy walks up to us.
"Hey Shawn. Oh who is your date? She looks stunning." The boy says, I can feel myself blush, I never know how to take complements.
"Sorry she's taken. Mike this is Meghan." Shawn says and I wave.
"I'm Michael nice to meet you." He says extending his hand for me to shake.
"Meghan." I respond. Shaking his hand hesitantly, I'm not a fan of physical contact, as you know.
"Oh so this is the preggers." Michael says smiling.
"How did you know that?" I ask curiously.
"Oh Shawn does not stop taking about you, how pretty you are, how funny you are, how intelligent you are..." Michael says. I feel a huge dorky smile grow on my face, I look at Shawn who is blushing uncontrollably and looking at his shoes.
"Yep... this is my preggers." Shawn responds, I could tell he's still embarrassed. I like how her says 'my' preggers because I'm his, it makes me happy. We continue talking for a bit before Michael is called away to another group of friends. I turn to Shawn.
"So your always talking about me huh?" I asks Shawn smirking and biting my lip. He blushes.
"Well how could I not brag about such a beautiful, intelligent and funny girl?" He responds.
"I'm not perfect." I say still smiling.
"And that's what I love most about you." He says. He takes my face in his hands and kisses me, it's gentle and warm making me feel protected and safe. We sit down at the table and talk/laugh for a while. After a while a slow song comes on, 'Let Go' by Ryan Adams, I hum along to the song. I watch as Shawn stands up and walks over to me. He puts out his hand
"Would you like to dance?" He asks in a serious voice that makes me laugh.
"I would." I say taking his hand, he leads me out to the dance floor. We dance slowly to the song, I'm not the best dancer but it's ok I'm having fun and really enjoying this slow dance. I rest my head on his shoulder and continue dancing. This goes on for a while, after the slow dance is over we sit back down and continue talking. Every so often we will go out and dance on the dance floor. I had the best time, time flys by and before I know it the best night ever is over. Shawn drives me home and I can not stop talking about what a great time I had. When we arrive at the garage he walks me in and kisses me when he leaves. When I walk in the whole team is still there waiting to see how it was. I tell them everything, and don't leave out a single detail.
