A Little Too Much | Shawn Mendes (COMPLETED)

Epilogue

A/N - Last part! In the media above are Allie and Shawn's four kids, Jackson Andrew, Brinley Aaliyah, Gabriel James and Samuel John:)

Allie's POV;

I watch fondly as Jack chases Brinley. She shrieks in protest as he holds her teddy bear high above her head.

"Mommy! Make him stop!" She cries, pouting as she tries and fails to grab her teddy bear from her brother's hand. "Jack," I warn. He turns to me with his big brown eyes and I immediately see Shawn's. He's the spitting image of his father; same brown hair and brown eyes and same face shape. Everyone is able to spot it, it's clear as day. I couldn't be any more proud.

A familiar pair of arms wrap around my waist and Shawn rests his chin on my shoulder. "Hey there," he smiles cheekily, "The twins are out like a light . . . for now." I turn my head to peck his lips and he smiles.

"Ew!" Brinley shrieks. She skips up the stairs of the deck, teddy bear now in hand, as she wraps her arms around Shawn's legs. "Up, daddy!" She demands, making grabby hands. Shawn chuckles and hoists him high above his head, making her squeal. He readjusts her on his hip and taps her nose. She giggles and squeezes her eyes shut.

"You're it, mom!" Jack shouts as he takes off running around the backyard. Brinley squeals as she wiggles out of Shawn's grasp and takes off after her brother. I jog after them to give them a head start and the closer I get, the louder they screech. I finally catch up and grab Jack's arm, pulling him into my chest. "Gotcha!" He gasps and breaks into a fit of laughter as I lift him up and carry him back over to the deck with Brinley trailing close behind me.

"You're getting big mister," I say with a huff as I sit down on the deck and set my oldest son in my lap. "I can't believe you can still carry me, I'm supposed to be too big!" Jack folds his arms over his chest and Shawn tries and fails to hold back his laughter.

"I'm a big, strong girl," I say wth a grin. Jack lets out a scream as I tickle his aides and he flails around, trying to escape. When he finally does, he scampers over where Shawn is sitting to hide behind him, making me laugh.

"Mama, what's this?" Brinley asks as she climbs onto my lap and points at a photo album I didn't notice until just now. Shawn grins as he pulls Jack into a chair between us. "This is a photo album of your mom and I from when we were younger," Shawn says as he opens it up. Brinley gasps and leans over eagerly to look at the pictures.

"Mommy, is that you?" She asks in awe. I nod as I take in the picture. It's of Shawn and I at prom. It feels like yesterday; it's hard to believe how long ago that was.

"You're beautiful," Jack says as he looks up at me. His big brown eyes are wide. They remind me of Shawn's when he's fascinated with something.

"Yes, she is," Shawn coos, making Brinley and Jack squeal and giggle.

"But I thought boys have cooties!" Brinley says, looking from me to Shawn. Shawn smiles widely. "They do, but only until they're 20." I laugh at his statement while Brinley only nods. If only she'd stay this innocent forever.

Our reminiscence is cut short by the sound of crying coming from the baby monitor on the table. I lift Brinley and set her on her feet before going inside and upstairs to the room across from my and Shawn's.

Gabe is crying his little head off while Sam just stares at his brother, sleepily rubbing his eyes. I gently lift him out of the crib and set him on my hip as he continues to kick and cry. I sit down in the gray rocking chair in the corner of the room with him on my lap, but only seconds after we're settled Sam starts to whimper. The boys have always been attached to one another. Sam can't stand seeing Gabe do something if he isn't involved. It's cute now, but we'll see how Gabe handles it when they're older.

Shawn comes in and makes a pouty face at Sam as he stands in the crib and makes grabby hands for me. He turns to Shawn and whimpers louder as Shawn lifts him out and twirls around before setting our other baby brunette on his hip and bouncing him up and down. Sam starts to giggle, causing Gabe's attention to shift. Soon, they're both laughing and so are Shawn and I. We bring them downstairs where Jack and Brinley are on the couch, Jack watching TV while Brinley plays with a doll next to him. I smile as I set Gabe in his high chair and get out a banana to slice and give to him.

"Tv!" Gabe exclaims, pointing to the living room. His green eyes are wide as he keeps them focused on his siblings.

"That's right," I coo. Shawn sets Sam down next to his brother in a matching high chair and Brinley skips over to us.

"I wanna feed Sammy!" She exclaims, climbing up onto a chair and reaching for half of he banana the twins are sharing. Shawn smiles and helps her feed the boys, while Jack just glances at us every now and then.

"You know Brin, you remind me of mommy when she was little," Shawn says softly as he watches her feed Sam. She looks up with a bright smile. "Really?" She asks excitedly. Shawn nods and I only shake my head.

"You didn't even know me at that age," I scoff with a light laugh. Shawn smirks and goes into the living room, pulling out a photo album of him when he was little. Tucked in the front is a worn out picture of me at Brinley's age. I almost forgot I had that picture.

"I didn't know you kept that," I say with a small smile. Shawn grins. "How could I not? It's the only picture I have of you back when you were actually cute," he teases. "Oh snap!" Jack interjects, making us all laugh. Shawn brings the picture over to Brinley, and sure enough, the two look almost identical.

"I see . . . me," Brinley says slowly. I chuckle. "That's because you look just like your mommy, and you'll grow up to be like her one day, too," Shawn says as he pulls her into his lap. I clean up the leftover food from the twins and let them run freely among the house. Gane makes a beeline to Jack and the TV, while Sam just follows his twin around. Brinley joins them and shows Sam her doll while Jack lifts Gabe up onto the couch and makes sure he doesn't fall.

"We made some pretty adorable kids," Shawn says with a smirk as he pulls me close to him. I nod. "We did indeed. I love you," I whisper, pecking his lips. "I love you more," Shawn whispers back as we watch our four children play together. I turn to face him and smirk. "And I love you most."
