He went to work and I've been cooking for him all day, today is the day, eighteen years ago, that I decided I loved him back. Shawn loved me for reasons I couldn't understand and I still don't really get it but he loves me and I love him too, that's really all that matters. The kids wanted to help too, so Skylar and Jaxon made him some homemade muffins that are honestly the cutest things, our septuplets along with the help of Angelina and CJ, baked him a cake and the triples decided to clean. Adam is still gone but has promised to visit as soon as he can saying he wants to go back to the hospital to check on his dad. He doesn't know he's out yet and his anticipation is heartwarming. Adam is so incredible and he loves and appreciates Shawn and I more than any teenager ever. He's he sweetest boy and he's the happiest kid, he loves hugs and cuddling and there are even some days where he'll lay his head against my stomach like he did when he was a baby and wanted to tell people thank you. Adam was going to be our only child because he needed a lot but we didn't follow through and now we have fifteen. And most of them were by accident. Angelina and Jaxon were planned, and I planned CJ but Shawn didn't, them the septuplets were planned, but only one of them was supposed to be. Regardless we love them all.

"Is it Christmas time yet?" Skylar questions laying her head against Jaxon.

"No princess why?" I lift her up sending him off.

"Because then Adam gets to come home." She sniffs, she's a big fan of her big brothers. They protect her with all they can and they love her so much, most wouldn't get it but she's never known anything besides it. Our whole family just projects love in every direction. Regardless of how much Shawn and I fight, how often we threaten divorces we never mean them and at the end of the day he's my husband, if he was hurt I would be there and I know he'd do the same for me.

"I know baby girl, I miss him too," I pout at her tears bouncing gently up and down on my hip sending my teenager boy off. The others have already disappeared, our septuplets are in the main area and Jaxon was waiting with his sister but he doesn't have to anymore. "But he's going to school, he's gonna learn everything that he needs to and he's going to do amazing things with his life and when he comes home." I kiss her cheek just thinking of way back when I was alone, there weren't very many occasions that Shawn would leave and I've have no one but there were a couple and they were always hard but he always came back and now we're eighteen years strong. "He's going to be happy."

"He was already happy," she whines a little and I smile. "I don't get it mama why does everyone go to school except us?" She points at the seven who waddle around. Nurses were beyond shocked when they found out it wasn't even from sex but from a sample.

"You'll go to school too princess, one day." I smile while setting our all of this massive meal I've made for him, I even invited his parents back over Im not sure wether or not they'll stay but I did wash their sheets and make the bed freshly this morning in case they did. They know that their room is always open and they know that Sunday is laundry day so if they want warm sheets that's the day to come.

"Huh?" She gasps at the doorknob that giggles she knows it's Shawn who's just getting home and unlocking the locked door. She opens the child gate and runs towards the door where her dad is just entering. "Daddy!" She squeals jumping into his arms. He kisses her cheek and sits down by the kids and smiles.

"Dinner is ready whenever you are," I smile. His parents have been in the kitchen with me as well as my parents the whole time.

He smiles at me from the other side of the room. I tried to get him to read a book with me because he wanted so badly to spend his time with me. Once the kids were out to bed I brought him here, to my secret reading room. I handed him one of my favourite books and told him to read it, he started it but he's been watching me since. I wear these long socks and one of his shirts my legs leaned up against the bookshelf next to me and my glasses pressed to close to my eyes they practically hit my eyelashes. "Oh come on," he whines while I look right at him. He bit his lip giving me a wink but I turned back to my book. "I wasn't being very discreet."

"But my book is interesting." I smile flipping the page. He shoves the book mark into it and shoves it to the side laying himself gracefully atop me. "Shawn," I whine and he chuckles planting a kiss against my lips.

"Just this once?" He pleads running his hands over my inner thighs. "Just this once and I'll read with you every night if we get to do this." My legs around his waist he pulls at the elastic of my sock letting it snap back against my thigh.

"No, I don't wanna do this here, look at all of the windows." I told my eyes at his chuckles. I lay down more taking my legs from around his waist. He groans a little but lays on top of me his head in my chest while I run my hand over his back and the back of his head. "I don't need anyone seeing me naked again."

"What do you mean again," after all of our arguing is forgotten I never told him. He didn't know what I was so worried about and he didn't know what to search so he never did.

"When we were cuddling in the hospital?" I touch his back, his hair is starting to grow which is nice and makes him really excited. I'm excited too, there's not enough yet for me to run my fingers through it or even play with it like he can do mine. "A nurse took a picture of me completely naked, it went all over every social media platform in existence and he took it down right away but the picture was still everywhere. That why I didn't leave the house, that's why I don't go out unless I have to." I mumble his lips press a kiss against my chest softly.

"I'm sorry baby girl." He pouts. "I never meant for that to happen, and I couldn't even comfort you when it did." He burning his face in my chest. "I'm a terrible husband."

"I wasn't allowed in when it happened." I reassure and he chuckles. "Now come on," I kiss his head. "We've got to go to bed so we can wake up with the kids, they have school tomorrow." I mumble.

"And we have some unfinished business to tend to before tomorrow."
