One night (Shaylor)

Chapter 20

Beware of chapter that's all I'm telling you and don't hate me

Shawn p.o.v.

I was kind of freaking out now, while choosing an outfit for the ball. I haven't ever been to one so I didn't know what was appropriate and what isn't. Taylor hasn't prepped me or anything for something like this. Will there be dancing? Will I have to participate in it? Oh God my nae isn't good, my whip could use some work, and I haven't stinky legged in years. Ugh Taylor!

"Calm down Shawn," Cam tells me, putting a hand on my shoulder. "It's no big deal."

"It's no big deal? Are you crazy? I could mess up and cost Taylor's company a business deal. Then Taylor will be very mad at me and I can't have that," I scream.

Cam chuckles at me and I glare at him. "Shawn calm down. You could hit him with a car and he wouldn't be mad at you," he tells me.

"You sure?"

"Yes I'm sure, but he may get a little angry when he finds out about Danny and Drew," he points out.

I look down and sigh when he says that. "I know."

"When are you planning to tell him?"

I bite my lip and look at him. "I-I was kind of thinking about doing it tonight."

Cam's eyes go wide. "Are you serious? Tonight? Why tonight of all nights?"

"Because tonight I will be seeing his uncle Grant," I say bitterly. I may have only met that guy once, but with that one meeting, I never liked that guy. He seemed so arrogant and rude. Sure Taylor can be arrogant, but it's not mean, it's kind of...cute.

"That bastard that tried to give you hush money for keeping the babies a secret?"

I nod my head. I walk into my closet and keep looking through my stuff as I talk to Cam. "I don't want him to tell Taylor before I do."

"What makes you think he will tell him? Besides doesn't he think they're Aaliyah's kids?"

"Yeah he thinks it's Aaliyah's kids, but if he says something it won't take long for Taylor to put two and two together. And he may say something when he sees me and remembers that day," I explain. I then groan when I don't see anything to wear for tonight.

There was then a ding from the doorbell. "I get it," I heard all the kids yell and a bunch of feet running towards it. Cam and I went on red alert and we both ran to the door too, to stop the kids.

When we get downstairs, we see all five kids carrying a huge box. They look over at us and drop the box, causing me and Cam to flinch. As parents you flinch whenever you hear your kids drop something.

Danny jumped on top of the box and take out the card that was on it. He opened it and frowned. "who's S-Hay-win," he asks looking around the room. Alex got up and looked at the card. "Danny the S and h make the sh sound." Danny nodded and then said, "who's Sh-ay-win?"

Jamie got on top of the box two and he rolls his eyes at them. "The a and w make the aw sound," he says. Danny once again nods and reads out the name. "Who's Shawn?" Drew face palms himself and shakes his head. "Daddy's other name is Shawn, you nincompoop."

"Where the heck did you learn the word Nincompoop," I asked, taking the kids off and picking up the box.

He shrugged, "SpongeBob," he said with a sheepish smile.

"Mhm. The same way how you learned how to pick a lock from yo gaba gaba," I say.

"It wasn't yo gaba gaba it was adventure time," he argued.
