Shawn and I were closer for a while and he headed off for tour. As the weeks grew I noticed heavier acne. This wasn't normal. "Hey you okay?" I turned around and noticed Bailey entering the room. "What the hell are you doing here?" I asked drying my face with a towel. "I can't visit my best friend?" "Eh." I laughed and groaned grabbing a bottle of Tums. "What's the matter?" "Heartburn." "Whoa whoa whoa." Bailey took a finger and moved my chin to her face. "Holy hell you look like I did when I-" she cut herself off. "Erika did you and Shawn have sex recently?" "Why are you.." I thought back to a month before when Shawn left. The night before. "Oh my fuck." My eyes shot to Bailey's. "No. No. No. No. No you.." My eyes immeadietly started watering. "Hey, hey c'mere."

Four positive pregnancy tests later I sat on my bed in my room. "Now what?" I asked softly, red eyed. "You need to call Shawn." I then got a reminder "2nd year anniversary!! 💕💕" "Aw shit." I mumbled throwing my face into my pillow. It was currently 12:30 in the morning and Shawn was in Houston. I quickly texted him. "Hey you up babe?" "Yeah, hold on." A few minutes later his face appeared for FaceTime. I told Bailey to leave so I could talk to him. "Happy Two Years Er." "Happy Two Years.." "What's the matter?" I sighed befor continuing. "Shawn we have a problem..." "What baby?" "That's just it..." "Erika.." "Shawn..." "I'm on my way." "No Shawn-" "I'm coming home. I'll be there in like six hours or something." "Shawn you're-no." I then broke down crying. "Hey, hey calm down." "I-I can't. First my parents, then Cameron, then the cancer I can't handle this." "Look... I'll be there in a few." "Fine..." "I love you so much we'll get through this I promise."

Except for my dad just about kicked me out. Thank god for Natalia. When it all settled Shawn and I could finally celebrate our second anniversary before he went back to tour. I was suffering through pregnancy symptoms and was painting like crazy all the time. I decided to paint a stork with your typical blanket. I painted the blanket green and yellow pastely almost. I then painted 'Baby Mendes' on it with a quote above it. "You'll be our miracle.." I sighed putting the paint away and watching as Destiny played around. I sat and played with her for a bit laughing as she put a plastic pot on her head. "You silly girl."

[I know this is short but this is the best I can do right now. I'm sorry guys.]
