The Swift-Sheeran Family.

Chapter 40

*6th August*
"Arabella?" Someone walks up to me as I wait in the airport.
"Yeah," I reply as we both register who the people in front of us are.
"Great, it's nice to meet you." They hold out a hand that I shake; "I'm Shane, one of Shawn's uncles."
"Oh, awesome."
"The rest of them are coming now," As its Shawn's birthday in two days we want to surprise him at his show by getting his rather spread out family to come together.
Once I've met everyone I get them to walk out to the jet.
"This is mega posh,"
"Holy s***,"
"Make yourselves comfortable, just let me know if you need anything." I say as I sit down before take off.
I haven't seen Shawn for at least a month due to hectic touring schedule and he thinks I'm busy doing meetings.
We touch down a couple of hours later and we dash off the plane into cars so we're not seen.
"You get in with Karen and Aaliyah, they're closest." One of Shawn's Aunts let's me off first and I sprint to the car.
"Hey," I begin breathlessly as Aaliyah looks round to see me.
"Hello A," Karen grins at me before another person piles in.
"Do you have the address?" Aaliyah asks as I hand her a slip of paper. "Great," Then we begin our trip to Vancouver.
We start by having a couple hours at Shawn's family's house whilst we wait for his friends to arrive. They come and we get back on the jet and fly into Vamcouver, careful not to go anywhere near the arena.
We get to the huge property we rented by midnight and everyone tries to avoid jet lag. "Arri, honey?" I hear Karen's voice on the other side of the door.
"Yeah," I say as I open the door.
"Thank you for sorting this,"
"No problem," I smile as she passes me a cup of tea.
"He'll love you even more for this, believe me!" We laugh together before heading to bed. Shawn better like this surprise.

I have to spend the rest of the day inside to avoid being seen and Shawn finding out I'm here so I decide to wait for his manager to turn up and give us lanyards for access all areas whilst everyone else gets cakes.
His manager stays for a while before he has to go to not look suspicious. "See you later A, I'll make sure security as aware of what's going on."
"Thanks," I hug him before he goes. Aaliyah arrives back carrying a huge box.
"Got the cake, although I really think we should get changed now."
"Let's do it," I reply and we head upstairs and change. I get into a wide leg playsuit with a high neck and some white converse, I apply some make up and grab my pass to get in and out with ease.
We get to the arena late and are shown to a top private box. We watch most of the show and I dance around with Aaliyah.
"Guys, we're gonna go a couple at a time now so no one speculates anything," I say and they all nod.
I head down with Aaliyah and some of Shawn's best friends with the cake.
I flash my pass to the security guard who gives us a thumbs up as we speed round the back of the building, in the back entrance.
Shawn's manager, Andrew, ushers is in as Shawn runs on stage for his encore. "That was close," He whispers as he gets out a lighter and candles for the cake. More and more family pack in and as Shawn finishes his final song we get Andrew to pretend there's an alert he has to give so he walks out onto the stage and Shawn hands him the mic.
"So as many of you know it's Shawn's birthday," Shawn suddenly realised there's going to be a surprise and puts his head on his hands. "And we want to have a very loud rendition of happy birthday to celebrate, can you do that?" The crowd go crazy and begin to sing as Shawn smiles crazily. We soon begin to filter onto the stage and he only notices us due to the crowds screams and his smile grows hugely. Seeing his face light up makes mine do the same and I squeal as he runs over to me and picks me up off the ground. Only this once I don't care how sweaty he is, just that I am in his arms. He is quick to peck my lips as he holds my face in his hands. "I missed you gorgeous," He smiles before kissing me again. "Oh my god," He whispers, shocked as he turns away to blow out his candles. He goes round his entire family before ending the show.
"You did this didn't you?" He comes up to me as we eat the cake together.
"Maybe," I smirk and he squeezes my hand.
"Thank you," He states and pecks my lips. "Love you A," He says quietly and I just let my response draw out onto my face.
He hugs me again, his arms tight and lovingly round my waist as mine tie round his neck. His Mom takes a picture and he puts it on his Instagram; "How I feel about tonight." The picture shows us both smiling genuinely whilst hugging.
"Okay, that's adorable;" Shawn's Gran gushes as she looks at the photo. Shawn looks at her warmly and simply kisses my forehead. We all head back to the huge property in Vancouver and have a games night, severely aware it's a very late one. We play a ton of card games together and charades which I come to realise being an actor helps hugely. It gets into the early hours of the morning and everyone is still up and playing games and chatting, I sit next to Shawn and Aaliyah with Shawn's hand resting on my knee.
I begin to get tired and lean against Shawn's shoulder to which he responds with a kiss on the top of my head. Many people had already taken themselves to bed so Shawn tells me to do the same.
"A, go to bed if you want." He says and I nod and get up, I add a quick goodnight to everyone and head upstairs.
The last thing I hear before I fall asleep is; "Thank you for the best birthday yet gorgeous. Love you,"
