An Arranged Marriage S.M.

Chapter ninty eight

I heard Easton's soft cries and sat up but soon felt Shawn calloused hands push me back down. "Go back to bed. I've got him," he stood walking towards Easton's room. I smiled to myself closing my eyes once again. I rolled over feeling nothing there and sitting up. I looked at the bright light that the sun shone. It lit up the room. I stretched my arms out and stood up walking towards Easton's room. Easton lay asleep on Shawn's chest. Shawn smiled at me. "Hi baby," he smiled putting Easton down in his crib. "Morning," I smiled walking towards him. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked so tired. "Shawn," I wrapped my arms around him loosely. "Did you sleep at all last night?" I ran my hand over the side of his face. "Not since he woke up the first time," he shook his head. "That was at like eleven." I gave him a look of pure sympathy. "Baby," I held him against me. "He had a rough night." Shawn shrugged. "I didn't even hear him past the first time and I always hear him," I pouted feeling terrible for making Shawn stay awake with him all night. "I held him the whole time so when he woke up I was right there," I ran my hands up and down his back. "You didn't have to stay up with him Shawn," I held him tighter. "But you've done it he was born. And I left you with him for three months. I felt like I needed to give you the night off," he kissed my head. "You need to sleep Shawn," I pulled out of the hug and led him towards our room. "It's like nine in the morning." He argued. "And you look awful. Shawn you need sleep." I laid him in the bed. I pulled the blankets over him and planted a gentile kiss on his temple. "Go to sleep baby. Please?" I begged. "Only for you. But when I wake up. I want you next to me," he yawned. "Possibly. I have to go fix up downstairs. Your parents are coming over for dinner tonight." I kissed his cheek. "And you really need to sleep Shawn please," he nodded. His eyes were closed already. "Sweet dreams baby," I ran my hands through his soft hair while soft snores escaped his lips. I walked down the stairs and began mixing muffin batter. I felt terrible for last night so muffins are how I want to apologize. I made chocolate chip muffins and blueberry muffins. After I put them in the oven I started picking up the stuff in the living room. The house phone rang and I quickly went too answer it before it woke either of them. "Hello?" I said hurriedly putting it against my ear. "Hi. It's the hospital calling to schedule an appointment with Madeline Mendes." She spoke fairly slowly. "Is she around?" The lady on the other end questioned. "Speaking." I nodded my head. "Would next week Monday at ten work?" I heard the clicking sound of a pen. "Umm," I looked at the calendar. "It will work fine," I nodded. "Alright we'll see you then," she hung the phone up and I hung mine up as well. I began sweeping the kitchen. I swept under the barstools and under the table. I was hopping the weather would hold up nicely so that we could eat outside. I finished sweeping and threw out all of the dirt. The oven beeped and I pulled out the muffins placing them on a cooling rack. I put the trays into the sink. I picked everything up off of the ground in the living room and fixed it up nicely. I finally finished and checked the time. It was almost eleven. I walked up the stairs checking on Easton seeing he was still asleep I smiled closing his door. I gently opened the door to mine and Shawn's shared bedroom. He lay asleep still in the same place as before. I lay on the bed in front of him. Soft snores still escaped his lips as his hands wrapped around me and he pulled me closer. I smiled to myself watching a he slept. His forehead had a slight crease, his eyes would shut tightly, soft snores came from his only slightly parted lips and his soft tousled hair fell against his cheeks. I smiled burying my head into his chest. Listening to the soft sound of his heart beat. Soon I slipped through his grip walking into my closet to get changed. "Why'd you go?" I felt his breath on my neck. "Shawn," I turned and faced him. "You really need to sleep," I sighed. "I'll sleep later. But for now. I'm good alright?" He lifted my head. "Alright." I nodded. "Stop worrying so much." He kissed my lips quickly. "Sorry," I kissed his neck. I grabbed his hand and led him down the stairs and through the kitchen to the dinning room. I sat him down in front of the stack of muffins I had made. "I feel bad for making you stay up all night with Easton," I pouted. "It's ok darling I chose to. But I will take the muffins," he smiled. "I love you," I kissed him sweetly. "I love you too," his tongue slipped through my lips. It searched my mouth. "Today. You are gonna have a nap," I pecked his lips before walking away to pour him a cup of coffee fixing it just the way he likes. He sipped the coffee. "Thank you baby," he kissed my lips. He tasted like blueberries and coffee. I checked the monitor seeing Easton awake in his crib trying to stand up. "I'll be right back," I popped a bottle into the microwave before running up the stairs to get Easton. "Hi baby," I reached into his crib and picked him up. "Why'd you give daddy such a hard time last night?" I pouted at him. "He needs sleep too," I giggled at his smiling face. "Did you do that on purpose?" I gasped at him. "I don't think daddy's gonna like that." I neared where Shawn sat. "Should I tell him?" Easton smile turned into a frightened look. "Yeah," I smiled. He buzzed his lips. "Someone kept daddy awake on purpose," I sat next to Shawn. "Did you now?" Shawn put the coffee mug down. "Did you now?" Shawn started tickling the defend less child. He laughed uncontrollably. I smiled at them as I went to get his bottle. I got Easton the bottle and began feeding him. "You are the best in the world," Shawn ate another muffin. "Because I make you muffins?" I giggled slightly while still holding Easton and his bottle. "Exactly," he pecked the side of my head gently. I scoffed. "I'm just kidding. I like you for lots of reasons. This is just a perk." He giggled eating another muffin. Easton stopped feeding and I put the bottle on the table and began burping him. He burped pretty quickly. Shawn took him from my arms kissing his small nose making him scrunch his face and gently hit his nose. "He looks like you," Shawn laughed slightly doing it again. "I'm not seeing it. All I see is you." I kissed Shawn's nose making him scrunch his face and me laugh. "Whatever," he rolled his eyes. I put Easton in his high chair and gave him a few toys. I then sat back down next to Shawn. "What do we have to do today?" Shawn leaned against me. "You guys don't really have anything to worry about. I'll take care of it." I kissed his head that leaned against my shoulder. "But Shawn," I rubbed my hand up and down his side. "I really want you to get more then two hours of sleep." I kissed his head. "It's ok Maddy. I'm fine," I shook my head. "Please Shawn. You have to sleep. Just take a short nap," I begged sympathetically. "Fine." He breathed. "But you have to be there with me," he kissed my shoulder. "Alright." I leaned my head atop his. "I think East was tired too," I laughed looking at the sleeping child in his high chair. "Come on," I picked Easton up and brought him to his room with Shawn following behind. "I'm not tired though," he tried to cover up a yawn. "Sure you aren't," I rolled my eyes putting Easton into his crib. "Let's go," I grabbed his hands leading him to our bedroom. "Please try and sleep," I sat him down on the bed. "I will," he lay down reaching his arms out for me. "Shawn. I still have stuff to clean," I pouted. "Fine then. I won't sleep," he crossed his arms over his chest. "Shawn," I whined. He shrugged. "I won't sleep unless you're right here next to me," he pointed. "Fine but only for a bit." I fell into his open arms making him smile while he pulled me closer. "I love you," I attached my lips to his. "I love you too," he smiled pulling away. I ran my hands threw his hair as I watched his eyes slowly close. "Sweet dreams baby," I kissed his cheek. My head rested atop his which rested on my shoulder. I twisted my fingers in his hair while soft snores escaped his slightly parted lips. I smiled. His forehead developed a crease his eyes shut tightly his legs tangled with mine as he held himself tightly against me. He began shuddering slightly most like an effect from the coffee. I opened my phone checking twitter and Instagram. I smiled at the first picture that popped up on my Instagram feed. Some old magcon picture of Shawn and Matt in a collage together. I giggled looking at all of them. It had the caption 'I miss this so much' I sighed slightly going through the other pictures. I soon closed my phone and wrapped both my arms around Shawn. I laid my head against the headboard as I admired my sleeping boyfriend. I kissed his nose. Before slipping through his arms. I watched him move slightly but still he slept. I opened the door walking towards Easton's room to go and see if he was still asleep. I smiled watching him sleep. He looked just like Shawn. His eyes would shut tightly and a slight crease would form on his forehead. I shut his door gently before walking back into mine and Shawn's shared bedroom. He still slept soundly. I smiled walking into my closet to put some clothes on. I checked the time. It was three thirty. Shawn's parents Aaliyah and my mom would be over soon. Still I didn't bother waking Shawn. I walked down the stairs to start cooking. I cut blocks of beef and put them into a pot putting it on the stove. I began mixing the meat. I checked the monitor seeing a whiny Easton in his crib. I turned the stove lower and I went to get him. I opened his room door and picked him up. "Hi baby," I held him and his blanket on my hip. I gently pushed open our room door making sure Shawn was still asleep which he was. I then took Easton down the stairs I held him while mixing the meat. "Ok baby. You can sit in your high chair while mommy cooks ok. You can have some toys if you want," I sat him in his high chair giving him his blanket and a couple toys. I cut
up some carrots and potatoes. Putting them into the pot for the stew. I continued stirring the food. Someone knocked on the door. "Come on baby," I picked Easton up and brought him towards the door. I held his blanket in my hand while opening the door. "Hi," I smiled at Shawn's family and my mom. "Hello," they smiled back. I moved slightly giving them the space to enter. "Where's Shawn?" His mother looked confused. "He's sleeping," I nodded looking at a smiling Easton. "Someone kept their daddy up all night," I raised him on my hip. "So I sent him to sleep." They nodded following me inside. "Can I get you guys anything to drink?" I led them to the backyard. "No. I'm good," they all shook their heads. "Alright. The foods almost ready so make yourselves at home. I'm gonna go get Shawn." I smiled running up the stairs. I opened the door and he still slept soundly. "Shawn," I whispered from the doorway. "Shawn," I spoke a little louder. He still didn't move. "Baby. You've gotta wake up," I walked closer. "Shawn," I kissed just below his ear. "Please baby," I kissed his neck. "Shawn," I spoke louder and more sternly. I laid on top of him. "Please," I begged pressing my lips onto his. I palmed him through his sweatpants making his eyes open quickly. "B-baby," he moaned. "Stop," he grabbed my wrist. "Your parents are here," I kissed him gently. "Alright. I'll be down in a minute." He sat up. "Did you sleep well," I sat at the foot of the bed while he got dressed. "Yeah," he walked out of the closet coming towards me. "Yeah," I smiled pecking his lips. "Come on. Dinners ready," I brought him to the stairs. "Hi mom hi dad," he smiled at his parents. "Good morning," his mother raised an eyebrow. "She made me," he pointed towards me. "I did because I feel bad. He had to stay awake all night with east." I pouted. "I told you I was fine," he shook his head. "Yeah but there's a reason I don't believe you," I shook my head dishing out the food. "What's that supposed to mean?" I walked outside and set the food on the table as everyone else sat down. "Maddy," he whined. I finished putting the plates out and put Easton in his high chair wheeling it outside. I sat down next to Shawn. "So. What's new and exciting?" His father smiled. "I'm working on a new album," Shawn took a bite of his food. "Maddy?" His father turned to me. Shawn smiled. "Well-" he cut me off. "She owns a company now," he smiled. "Wow," they all seemed so shocked. "Yeah," I nodded gripping Shawn's arm. "Baby. Your pills?" He turned to face me. "I took them this morning." I smiled meekly. "Go get them," he pointed. "But-" "Now," he said semi sternly. "Fine," I stood going to get my pills as warm Easton up a bottle. I put some of his prescription in it before putting it into the microwave. I then went to the medicine cabinet to take my pills out. I got the correct amount of each bottle I was supposed to take. I held them in my hand with Easton's burp cloth on my shoulder and his bottle in the other. I walked outside sipping my water and taking my pills. "Awe still on the medication?" My mom sighed. "Yeah. I have more now." I sighed as well. I finished taking my pills and picked Easton out of his high chair. "You hungry baby?" I held him in my arms putting the bottle in his mouth. His small hands gripped the bottle but still he couldn't hold it himself. I continued feeding him. "So tell us about the company Maddy?" His parents smiled. "Well it's the company that I used to work for. We do magazines scripts for movies. It's pretty big," I nodded my head. "That's cool," he smiled. Easton stopped feeding and I burped him putting the bottle on the table. Once he was burped I set him back in his high chair. I gave him some toys. He just stare at them. "Want blankey?" I took the blanket off the back of my chair. He smiled reaching his small hands out. I smiled. "Can you say please?" I showed him the sign. "Please?" I showed him again. "Please," I did it for him. "Here you go," I handed him the blanket. Shawn's hand fell into mine and squeezed mine. "Im gonna start cleaning the table." I stood pulling my hand from his. I grabbed a few plates and made my way inside. I started putting them in the dishwasher. "What's wrong baby?" His hot breath hit my neck. "N-nothing," I berthed as goosebumps started to form on my body. "Why are you mad?" He kissed my neck. "I don't like my pills," I pouted. "I know baby but you have to take them. I'm sorry for being so mean about it." He gently but on my earlobe. "It's ok," I turned pushing my lips onto his. "You just want me to be ok," I kissed him. "Exactly." He smiled pulling back. "Let's go finish the table." I grabbed his hand leading him outside. I grabbed plates while he grabbed cups and everything else. I put them into the dishwasher. "Come on," we walked outside. We told Aaliyah if she wanted she could go into the pool so that's where she was. Our parents had decided to leave and we told them we would keep Aaliyah for the night. "Wanna swim baby," I grabbed Easton from the high chair. "We'll be out in a minute." I told Aaliyah. "Alright," Shawn followed inside. "Come on," I put a swimming diaper on him and then I put one of his little bathing suits on him. "Go get changed baby. I put a baiting suit on the bed for you," he walked in wearing only his swim trunks. "Alright just wait for me to go downstairs though," I pointed a finger. "Always," he smiled taking Easton from my grip. I walked into the room laughing and shaking my head at the hot pink slitted bikini. I laughed as I put it on going into Easton's bedroom where Shawn and Easton waited. "Damn baby." He turned his head bitting his lip at me. "You look good in pink." He breathed raising Easton on his hip. "Do I now," I pushed my lips onto his. Soon after pulling away. I grabbed towels on our way down. "That is my new favourite bathing suit on you." He gripped my hand while leading me down the stairs. "Hi east," Aaliyah wiped the water off of her face. I started easing myself into the cold water of the pool. I dove under trying to get used to it. I popped back up shaking my hair like a dog. Easton looked terrified. "Come here baby," I held my arms out for him. He handed Easton to me. He kept the same scared look as he hovered the water. Shawn eased himself in. His breathing hitched. "Jesus," he held his arms in the air. "It's not that bad. Go under." I rolled my eyes. Aaliyah swam under and behind pulling Shawn's legs making him shriek as he went under. Easton looked worried. He watched Shawn the whole time occasionally looking at me while I laughed. "Nice." I high-fived her as she came towards us. Shawn head popped back up and he shook his hair. Easton worried look never dulled but he looked more confused as Shawn popped up. He walked towards us. "Ok. First time in the water," Aaliyah had gotten out because she wanted to record it. I let his foot dip in the water. He looked at Shawn for guidance. "What's mommy doing?" He laughed at Easton. I dipped his lower body into the pool making him cry. "It's ok baby," Shawn walked towards me taking east from my hands. "We've got you." Shawn soothed. He quickly stopped crying. I dove underwater making the worried look appear again. "Here I am," I popped back up making a look of surprise spread across his face. Aaliyah recorded the whole thing on a video camera we got for Easton's special moments. Easton's small hands hit Shawn's chest as he gave Shawn a surprised look wondering why he was so calm. I smiled going back under. He leaned forwards almost falling in until I popped back up again. He giggled. "Wanna swim?" I took him from Shawn. "Let's swim," I put his legs back into the water and he smiled. I went a little deeper putting in his arms and stomach. He shivered from the cold water but still smiled. "You did it baby," I smiled at him. Shawn smiled as well. "Good job," he smiled kissing his nose. His face scrunched and I smile. "Should we make aunty come swimming?" I looked at Aaliyah who nodded turning the camera off. She dove into the deeper end. He clapped his small hands. "Soon you have got to go to bed," I took Easton's from Shawn's grip. "But you can play until then." I let Shawn take him. "Wanna play with Aaliyah?" Aaliyah walked closer. He smiled. "Wanna come here," Aaliyah held her hands out. He reached his hands out and Shawn gave him to her. "You looked good in bikinis." He kissed me. "You look good with no shirt," I ran my hands over his abs. "Maybe I won't wear one then," he pushed his lips back against mine. "Ew," Aaliyah squealed. I heard Easton's faint giggle and the sound of slapping. I watched Easton cover his eyes. I rolled mine. "Remind me to kill Jack." I looked at Easton again. He laughed. "It's ok," he smiled kissing my head. "It's bedtime Easton," I started getting out of the pool. He pouted. "We can come back out tomorrow." I laughed slightly as Aaliyah handed him to me. I wrapped a towel around his only damp body. Shawn got out as well drying his hair before wrapping a towel around himself. "Come here," he held his arms out taking Easton from my hands. "Thank you," I smiled while getting dried off. I then wrapped the towel around myself. Aaliyah was drying off. She had her own room at our house because she spent a lot of time with us. "Shawn wanna make him a bottle?" I held a shivering baby in my arms. "Sure. I'll be up in a minute." I thanked him before walking up the stairs with Easton in my hands. He still shivered and shook. "You cold baby?" I pouted. "Brr," I shivered as well bring him into his room. I held him against me while I walked towards his closet to get him some clothes. "Shawn?" I called from Easton's room. "Yes love?" Shawn yelled back. "Can you bring his blanket?" I sighed looking at him. "Sure," his voice neared. "Thank you dear." I called back lathering Easton's small body in the lotion. He walked into the room. "Are you cold?" Shawn pouted at Easton who still shivered. "Yeah. Our baby's cold," I giggled slipping him into his clothes. Shawn sat on the rocking chair. "Come here," I held Easton in my arms walking towards Shawn. He pulled me onto his lap. I smiled while feeding Easton. I held only the bottom of the bottle because he could basically hold it by himself. "Wanna watch Independence Day?" Shawn kissed my exposed shoulder. "No," I said in a duh tone. "Please baby. I really wanna see that movie." He pouted. Easton finished feeding and I burped him. Shawn and I held him tightly while his eyes slowly closed. "Goodnight love. We love you," I kissed his head. Shawn stood after I did and watched as I lay him in bed. "I want a little baby girl when Easton's a little older. I want a daddy's girl. Easts turning into a mommas boy." He kissed my head. "Maybe one day well get a little girl. I just want an age gape. It doesn't have to be as big as you as Aaliyah but two babies is a lot of work." I kissed his shoulder. "I know." He sighed. "I just really want a baby girl. I'll call her princess and we can dress her up," he listed reasons. "When Easts a little older. We'll try for a girl." I kissed his jaw. "Alright." He smiled. "So how about we go watch Independence Day?" He led me to our room. He closed and locked the door. "No. I really don't want to. You know I hate scary movies." I whined. "Can I have a friend come over for a few hours?" Aaliyah knocked at the door. "Sure," Shawn called after her. "Please baby." He continued begging. "I will be right next to you the whole time." He threw me one of his shirt as I threw him a pair of his sweatpants. "But Shawn," I shook my head pouting. "I'll hold you when you get scared and I'll protect you from everything bad. And I won't let you go. You can hide in my chest whatever you want. Please baby," he begged pouting. "Fine. Only because I love you." I wrapped my arms around his waist. "I love you too princess," he kissed my head. "I thought that's what you wanted to call our daughter when we eventually have one," I kissed his bare chest. "It is. But until then your my princess." He smiled. I smiled back unlocking our door. "Aaliyah?" Shawn knocked on her door. "Yeah?" She called back opening the door. "Were gonna watch Independence Day. Wanna come?" He smiled. "Where?" She looked confused. "The screening room," he rolled his eyes. "Sure," she shrugged. Someone buzzed at the gate. "He's here," Aaliyah squealed going to let "him" in. "He. What you talking about he?" Shawn followed. "My boyfriend. You said I could have a friend over," she stuck her tongue out. She looked in the mirror in front of the door before pressing a button to open the gate for him. "Please please please don't be weird. You guys are gonna be the first to meet him. Don't do anything stupid please Shawn," she begged. "Fine," he huffed. I held my arm around Shawn's. She opened the door. "Hi," she smiled at him. "Hey," he smiled back stepping through the door looking around and then to Shawn and I. "Hi mr. And mrs Mendes?" I shook my head. "Are you going back to Reynolds?" Shawn pouted. "Shut up," I shook my head. "I'm Maddy and this is Shawn. Her brother. I'm his wife," I smiled. "Are you now?" A smile spread across his face. "Don't make me take it back," I turned to face him. "You wouldn't dare," he shook his head looking between my eyes and my lips. "Watch me," he cupped my face in one hand pressing his lips gently onto mine. "Just ignore them when they do that. They're really cool when they aren't engaged in other things." She shivered. I pulled away. "I'm James," he extended his hand. "Nice to meet you James," I smiled. He extended his hand out to Shawn. "Baby. Be nice," I rubbed my hand up and down his bicep. He shook hands with James nicely which made Aaliyah and I both smile. "Let's go watch the movie," Shawn gripped my hands. "I thought you forgot about that," I whined. "Nope now let's watch." Aaliyah and James sat down beside each other and I sat next to Shawn. I moved the arm rest so I could get closer to him. I brought my knees to my chest. "It's ok baby. I'm right here," his soft lips hit my forehead. "I know," I breathed putting my knees over his legs and holding onto his torso close to mine. He laughed while wrapping an arm around me. The movie started and I hid my face in his chest. "It's not bad yet baby." He ran his hands softly threw my hair. "I don't want to look," I shook my head. "It's ok," he kissed my forehead. I turned resting my head against his chest I watched for a bit constantly hiding my face in his chest. He would smile and kiss my head every time. "It's over now darling." He spoke above my head. I turned my head watching only a short amount before burying my head in his chest again. "It's ok. I've got you," he held me tighter. Aaliyah stayed in James' embrace. I turned my head looking at the screen again. His soft lips hit mine. Probably meaning it was something terrible and I would've ended up screaming. When he pulled away the movie was over. "Did you like it?" I questioned Shawn. "Mhm, how about you?" He chuckled. "I don't like it," I shook my head. "It's ok. I'll protect you," he kissed me again. I smiled against his lips. "I love you," I pulled away. "I love you too," he smiled as I stood up. He got up with me. Pulling me into him. Aaliyah and James were still sitting in the row they had picked talking. Shawn picked me up holding me on his front. "Come on children," Shawn walked through the entrance to the screening room. He still carried me. He dropped me on the couch laying on top of me. I laughed kissing him briefly. "Come sit," Shawn pointed as they walked out. He was now sitting, my legs draped over his lap. "So how long have you guys known each other for?" I knew where this was going. I put my hand on his shoulder. "We've known each other for three and a half years," he smiled. Their hands were intertwined. "And we've been dating for almost two weeks," his hand squeezed hers. Easton's soft cries started. "Be nice. I will be right back. ," I pointed a finger. "Aaliyah. Watch your brother," I pointed to Shawn as I ran to get Easton. "What's wrong?" I opened his room door. "I'm here I'm here," I picked him and his blanket up. "Wanna go see daddy and aunty?" I bounced. "Do you need a new diaper?" I checked. "Yes you do," I laughed laying him on the change table. I quickly changed his diaper. He still didn't stop crying. "Let's go see daddy," I held him against my from holding his blanket over him. "Look, who's that?" I pointed at Shawn. "Is that daddy?" We neared where he sat on the couch. "Hello baby," Shawn took him from my arms. He looked at Aaliyah and then the person next to her looking at me for help. "That's James," I smiled watching Easton stare him down. "Just like your daddy," I shook my head. He looked back at Shawn who's facial expression had softened as he waved at them. A small smile had formed on his lips because Shawn had the same one. "Are you copying daddy?" I shook my head at him. A quiet giggle escaped his smirking lips. "Shawn wanna put him to bed. I'll be up in a minute. He nodded taking Easton and his blanket up the stairs. "You guys have about fifteen minutes," I whispered smiling at them. "Thank you," Aaliyah smiled. "Any time." I walked up the stairs and into Easton's room where he lay curled in a ball on Shawn's chest. I smiled watching Shawn gently put him in his crib and cover him with his blanket. I walked back into our room just as my phone lit up.

S: can we take east tomorrow
M: sure

I closed my phone once again just ignoring everything else as Shawn walked in. I stood sitting him on the edge of the bed digging my fingers into his back. "Why are you always so tense?" I pushed harder. I started licking and sucking on certain areas of his back soft moans escaped his lips. "I- mm," he cut himself off moaning. "I don't like the thought of a-Aaliyah with a b-boyfriend," he moaned throwing his head back. "I know you don't but you've gotta get used to it. I don't want you to turn into the Carter of her life." I spiked sympathetically. "Alright," he breathed. I stopped massaging his back. "Your so good to me," he smiled as I pushed him back on the bed so I hovered above him. "Yeah?" My lips brushed against his. "Mhm," he pushed his lips against mine. "Your adorable," I smiled at him. "So are you," he leaned up kissing my nose. "Where are Aaliyah and James?" Realization hit. "Shawn. Calm down." I ran my hand over the side of his face. "They're ok," I pushed my lips back onto his calming him down considerably. His tongue swept across my lip. I granted him the access he wanted and let his tongue hit mine. Our lips worked only for coverage of our two tongues. His tongue caressed mine in a way that can't be explained. A serge of energy flowed through my body. His saliva coated my tongue. I pulled back. "What do you wanna do now?" I gently played with his hair. "Can we cuddle?" He smiled. "Anything for you," I pecked his nose. He pulled me to his side. "Bye James." I heard the door shut. I held my head in Shawn's chest. "Thank you guys for not being super weird," she smiled from our doorway. "Mhm," Shawn smiled. "He's welcome anytime." I smiled at Aaliyah. "Yeah," Shawn nodded. "You guys are the best," she smiled closing our door and walking to her room. "You did well," I kissed his exposed skin. "I hope so." He kissed my head. "Come on. You should try and sleep," I kissed his lips softly. "Alright. But first I'm gonna check on Aaliyah." I sat up with him and I followed him out. I walked into Easton's room seeing he was asleep. "Sweet dreams baby," I closed the door walking towards Aaliyah's room. I watched Shawn cover her in the blankets and kiss her forehead. "Good night," he turned the lights off and walked out closing the door. "Come on. It's bed time for you too," I kissed his cheek. "Alright," he nodded. I brought him into our room laying him on the bed and covering him in the blankets before crawling in next to him. "Goodnight princess," he yawned kissing my forehead. "Goodnight baby," I held myself in his chest. "I love you," his eyes closed. "I love you too," I closed my eyes falling asleep with him.
