FIFTY TWO

Song of the Chapter: Golden Hour - Kacey Musgraves

"I used to get sad and lonely when the sun went down / But it's different now / Cause I love the light that I've found / In you..."

A week had passed since the appointment with Dr. Montoya and Shawn and I were currently in New York. He was set to do an interview on late night tv to talk about the fight and other things, while I was extremely nervous for a dinner that would happen tonight. Shawn decided that since we're officially having a baby, we should have our parents meet. After all, we were just teens last time, and now we're about to become parents.

I look at Shawn as he's about to leave his condo and head to the taping. He looks for his keys and I think to myself, That man who hit the breaks roughly when I said I loved him is gonna be a dad.

"I cannot find my keys." Shawn says. He sighed as he dropped his hands against his thighs and then he grabbed onto his pocket. "Never mind. Got em."

"Will you be back in time to help me cook?" I ask Shawn as he walks over to me. He bites at his bottom lip as he thinks, his hands resting on the top of the couch as his face is by mine.

"It depends. After the taping I'm gonna head straight to train." He replies. "Don't bother cooking if I'm not back by three. We can just have that chef come in."

Shawn leans down and kisses me and I place my hand at his shoulder. "Are you sure?"

"Mm hm, I'm sure. Take the day off to yourself. You're always working." He tells me as he kisses me again. "Go see a musical or a play or something. Hey, maybe go buy a bunch of baby books or look into stores about what to get our baby." He kisses me again and I kiss him back.

"We're gonna be in Spain most likely." I reply. "Should I wait until then."

"Our flight for Spain doesn't leave until tomorrow at six. Get inspiration for here and Spain." Shawn says as he stands up straight.

"So we're gonna have two nurseries?"

He shrugs. "Maybe."

"Alright." I say as I get up from the couch. "Ya know, in a few months I'm not gonna be able to do that anymore."

"You have a strong partner, I will gladly lift you up off couches anytime." Shawn tells me as he kisses me one last time before heading out.

I get ready and wear one of Shawn's sweaters and I roll up the sleeves a bit to my wrists, then grab my bag along with my copy of the key and exit the condo. Once I'm outside I see a man across the street with a camera. My phone rings and I answer the call from Shawn.

"Are you outside?" He asks me.

"Yeah, I'm walking to the corner to get a cab." I reply.

"There was a few guys out there, they're paparazzi, if they hang out be careful. I can have Beck accompany you today." Shawn says.

"No, don't worry, it's just one guy." I reply with a shrug. "Thank you, though."

"Are you absolutely sure?" He asks me again.

"I'm sure." I reply.

"Alright then. I'll call you later."

"I love you, have a good taping." I tell him.

"Thanks, have a good day off. Relax, please! I love you both." Shawn says as he hangs up. I place my phone in my pocket as I near the corner and hail a cab, then head off to the city.
