epilogue

it was december now, shawn decided on a small trip to his personal cabin in the woods. i know what you're thinking, creepy. but it was close by, and had a beautiful lake near it. of course we couldn't swim, but the frozen waters is such a beautiful view. time away from the media.

"want hot cocoa?"

i ask from the kitchen, shawn comes running downstairs. he sees me, wrapping his arms around me from behind as i pour milk into my mug. he nibbles on my ear.

"babeee."

he begins sliding his hands down my stomach. i stop him before he takes it any further by placing my mug into the microwave. he groans.

"c'mon, honey. maybe we can try for an elijah."

he gently gropes my bum, smacking it deliberately. i softly whimper. i finish making my cocoa, dropping a few marshmallows inside. i walk to the living room, sitting down on a chair with warm blankets on it. i look at the beautiful view shawn's cabin had, we had a look at the mountains. and lake.

it was breathtaking, peaceful as well. shawn hovers over me. i feel my lower abdomen churn. i wince.

"you okay baby?"

i nod, holding onto my stomach firmly. he replaces my hands with his own, kissing my cheek in comfort. i smile softly, playing with his softly curled hair. oh no- i shoot up. concern replaces his face, i run to his bathroom.

ravaging through the trash can. nasty? i know.

positive.

my eyes widen, i smile cheekily. shawn runs inside, seeing me on the floor. he has confusion written on him, until he sees what i'm holding. he looks back to me in the eye, questioning whether or not i am. i nod my head, laughing.

he smiles brightly, he runs to my side, picking me up. he twirls me around as he holds me in his arms, we laugh together in happiness. he sets me back down, he holds my hands.

"is that the reason why you kept pushing me away?"

i nod, it all added up.

"well, that's a relief. i thought i just didn't get you in the mood anymore."

he sighs, i gasp.

"that could never happen!"

he raises his eyebrows, smirking. i roll my eyes, i kiss his lips. softly tugging at his lower lip, after i pull away. he sighs.

"we have our own bundle of joy!"

he rubs my stomach, holding me close to his chest. i giggle.

"could be our own half-prince!"

i joke, he laughs.

"we're gonna be parents."

shawn gushes out, tears rolling down his cheek. i wipe his tears away, smiling. this wasn't the end, but the very beginning.
