Chapter Three

Kaitlyn's POV

I got home and went inside. It was about 7:30 at night. I looked around the house and couldn't find Shawn.

"Hey, Mom? Where's Shawn?" She pointed to the fridge. I walked over and took down the note that said:

Kaitlyn, I don't know what time you're getting in but I'm in the studio all day and I won't be home until late. And by late I mean really early tomorrow morning. Please don't stay up for me. I made you cookies cause I was bored. They're next to the toaster with a paper on them that says 'DO NOT TOUCH! THEY'RE FOR KAITLYN'. So anyway, I hope you+ are doing well. I'll see you soon. I love you. XX
Shawn

I smiled. Him and his letters on the fridge, I swear. I walked over and grabbed one of my cookies. I took a bite out of it. They were made just the way I like them. I close my eyes and smiled.

"Mom, do you want a cookie?"

"Yes please." I brought her a cookie and she took it.

"I'm gonna go write some songs." My mom looked up at me.

"No you're not," she said with a mouthful of cookie.

"What do you mean?"

"You are not writing, you are going to sleep."

"But I'm not tired..." My mom raised her eyebrows. "I wanna wait for Shawn to get home."

"He specifically told you not to wait for him. Go to bed. Not only will it be good for you, it will be good for the baby." I sighed and looked down.

"Fine. I'll see you in the morning."

"Love you, baby."

"Love you too, Mom."

I went upstairs and got ready for bed. When I got under the covers I put my hand where Shawn usually lays. I took a deep breath in and smelled his sent. I closed my eyes and quickly fell asleep.

I was only half conscious when Shawn walked in the room. He got into his pajamas (which were really just boxers) and crawled into bed. He rested his hand on mine and closed his eyes. I drifted back to sleep.

I woke up to Shawn's alarm. He turned it off and stretched. He got on his phone for a few minutes. When I gathered enough motivation to move, I reached for him. He looked over his phone and smiled at me. I looked away from him for a minute.

"How are you?"

"I am feeling like if I move I will throw up. How about you?"

"Well I'm definitely better than that. Is there anything I can get you?"

"I'll want some food in a bit, but I can make that." Shawn gave me a dissatisfied face. "Since when did you set an alarm?"

"Since I was late into the studio because I didn't have two little girls coming in and telling me that they had to go potty or that they had a nightmare or my gorgeous wife waking me up to tell me that I had to get up because I was going to be late. I can turn it off now." I gave him a sleepy smile. My mouth started to water and I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom.
