Shawn Mendes Imagines

#33 babysitting

A/N: So since I had to babysit last week I came up with this one. I looooove Shawn interacting with kids holy shit. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I do. Loads of love xx

          

"Babe c'mon I really wanna hang out tonight! It's Friday! We could have some fun." Shawn was on the phone with you and you chuckled at your whining boyfriend. You had just cancelled your plans for the night and he wasn't happy about it. "I'm sorry Shawn, but I have to babysit! The average 18 year old doesn't earn money from making music and traveling the world."

You heard Shawn groan on the other end of the phone. "I don't get why you wanna earn money, I can just pay for the pizza you order." You rolled your eyes. "Shawn" you said your voice becoming more serious. "We've had this conversation before, you have your money and I have my own. I don't want to exploit you. And I'm an independent woman who earns her money herself. Even if that means she has to cancel the date with her boyfriend because she has to babysit." Now Shawn was laughing "Fine! Then I'll spend the night on my own."

You giggled. But suddenly an idea came to your mind. "Maybe you can come with me?" Silence on the other end. "Shawn?" you questioned to make sure he was still there. "Yeah..." he trailed. He didn't sound very convinced of your idea. "It's a deal then" you chuckled and before he could protest you hung up. Later that day you packed all your things you'd need for the night and drove over to the family you were babysitting for. As soon as you entered the house the small four year old came running towards you. "Y/N!" he exclaimed as he hugged your legs.

"Hey honey, how are you?" you greeted him before walking over to the parents to say hi. "Thank you for allowing my boyfriend to join me tonight" you smiled at both of them. They both told you they trusted you, that's why they figured it would be okay for Shawn to come over as well. The mum, Cindy, handed you the 11 months old she had on her hips, after saying goodbye to him. When both of them had also said their goodbyes to the four year old Ben, you wished them a great night and they left.

"So boys, we're gonna have a fun evening alright?" you smiled at the two of them. Noah on your arm was playing with your hair, giggling, and Ben ran into the living room. "I've got a new toy I need to show you y/n" he yelled from the living room and you walked after him laughing. Whilst he was showing you his new car toy the doorbell rang.

You went over to the front door and opened it. It was Shawn. "Hey Hun" he smiled as you stepped back to let him in. "Hey" you leaned in to quickly peck his lips before closing the door. You walked towards the living room together as you introduced Shawn to Noah, who you still held in your arms.

"Hello Noah" Shawn smiled shyly at the little boy who immediately smiled back at him, reaching out for him with his tiny arms. "Do you wanna hold him?" you asked your boyfriend. "Uhm..." Shawn looked at you with fear in his eyes which made you laugh. "Shawn, it's just a baby. Why are you so scared?"

Shawn ran his hand through his hair. "I'm not scared of him. I'm just afraid I'll do something wrong. Hurt him or whatever." You shook your head, giggling. "You're cute. Don't be afraid, you can't do anything wrong." With these words you handed Noah over to Shawn. You showed him where to put his hands so he wouldn't let Noah fall.

"He's a little heavy though" you told Shawn but he wouldn't even focus on you anymore. His eyes were on the baby who was smiling widely up at him.  Your gaze was distracted from the two of them as you felt something pull on your shirt. You looked down to see Ben hiding behind your legs. "Y/n" he whispered. "Who's that?" With wide eyes he looked over to Shawn who was now sitting on the couch with Noah.

You kneeled down to be on Bens' level. He'd always been a bit anxious, you remembered the first time you had to babysit him very well. He was only about 2 years old and wouldn't let go of his parents when you came over. But within the two years you'd been babysitting him and later on also his brother he got used to you and started to be really excited whenever you came over. But Shawn was new to him.

"He's my boyfriend honey. His name is Shawn. Do you wanna say hi to him?" Ben shook his head. "He's really nice though. See, Noah likes him too." It took you some time to convince Ben to go over to Shawn and say hello. Eventually he did though and as Shawn seemed to handle both the boys very well you left them alone to prepare dinner in the kitchen.

After the two boys ate you turned on the tv for Ben so he could watch the kids shows he'd always watch before bed. "I'll go upstairs to put Noah to bed. Can you keep an eye on Ben?" you asked Shawn, with Noah on your hip. He nodded at you smiling. You left them to go put Noah to bed. You changed his diaper, put on his pyjama and laid him in his crib.

"Good night, baby. Sweet dreams" you whispered as you turned off the lights. You stayed at the door, waiting whether Noah would fall asleep. As he did you gently closed the door and walked back downstairs. It was really quiet down there and you wondered how that was possible. Usually you could heard the tv from the stairs but there was no sound. You carefully looked through the door of the living room and your heart was melting at the sight in front of you. The tv was turned off and Ben was sitting on Shawn's lap, starring at him.

"Sing another one please" the little boy begged and Shawn gave in smiling. He started singing one of your favourite songs, never be alone. Bens gaze was on Shawn's lips and he was staring at him, smiling widely. As Shawn eventually saw you leaning in the door he stopped singing.

"No no, don't stop" you gushed. You made your way over to the couch and sat down next to the two boys. Ben crawled out of Shawn's lap and onto yours but his eyes were not leaving Shawn. "Ye, don't stop" he repeated what you said and Shawn chuckled. "Okay okay, what do you wanna hear?"

Ben and you suggested a few songs which Shawn sang. It was beautiful and you knew the boy on your lap thought the same. The longer you sat together you felt your eyes becoming heavier. "Y/N" Shawn suddenly whispered. You opened up your eyes. Shawn was motioning to your lap. You giggled quietly. Ben was leaning against your body, his eyes closed, breathing heavily. "We should bring him to bed" you whispered back at Shawn.

"I'll take him" Shawn offered and you gladly accepted as the toddler was already a lot heavier than his baby brother. As you got to bens room you gently woke him up. "Hey little boy" you smiled at him as he opened his eyes. "You just have to change in your pyjama tonight. No tooth brushing." You helped Ben change into his pyjama as Shawn was standing in the door frame, watching the two of you as you put Ben to bed. "Goodnight buddy" he whispered before you turned off the light and the two of you left the room.

"You did really good Shawn" you whispered as you laid down on the couch together. Your head was resting on his chest, your fingers drawing cycles on his abs. "The boys both loved you." Shawn pressed his lips on your forehead. "I'm glad I joined you tonight. I can't wait to have our own kids now." You giggled at his statement. "I love you so much, Shawn."
