BOMBSHELL...SHAWN MENDES

xxiii. sick & stressed

＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚

Phoebe stood outside Shawn's office wondering if she should walk in or not. Shawn had been really stressed lately, he was always yelling and pushing away his girlfriend. She took a deep breath and knocked.

"If it's you Lindsay, I told you to leave me alone!" He yelled, her hands rubbed her bump before walked in. "Oh, Phoebs." He spoke.

"Hey." She gave him a smile. "I just wanted to say hello since I was around."

Shawn nodded and watched his laptop. "Sure." He said.

She sighed and sat on the couch. "Are you really going to ignore me?" She asked him softly.

He scoffed. "I am not ignoring you, I'm working." He answered with a cough. "So you are free to stay or leave."

"Why are you like this?" She asked quietly. He looked up and frowned. "Always ignoring me and yelling at me." She added.

Shawn sighed. "Listen, I'm sorry—"

"You are not sorry! You don't even pay attention. Did you notice that my bump grew bigger or that I went shopping alone while you promised to come? I get the fact that you have a stressing work but don't put that on me!" She said before storming out of the room.

She smashed the door and started to walk away. "Hey Phoebe." Said Matt.

"Oh, hey Matt." She put a smile on her face and wrapped her arms around him. "How is work?"

He sighed. "Shawn is stressing us out a lot." She nodded and bit her lower lip.

"Yeah, I understand." She whispered. "He's the same at home."

He tightened his arms around Phoebe. "Stand for yourself, Phoebs. Don't let him put you down because of his stupid job, think of the baby." He told her planting a kiss on her forehead.

They both heard steps coming in their way and she soon saw Shawn out of breath. He stopped for a second so he could breathe correctly again.

He cleared his throat. "Hey Matt." Matt gave him a nod and left. "Phoebe, I'm sorry for being like that with you...I shouldn't act like that since you have the baby."

She shook her head. "It's okay..."

"No it's not. Please let me take my day off so we can spend it together." She smiled widely and nodded. "Let me go and grab my stuff." He kissed her cheek as she waited for him.

He came back minutes later and wrapped his arms around her. "So how's baby Joy?" He wondered.

"Kicking, growing but it worth it." She giggled as Shawn laid his hands on her bump. "Can't wait to hold her."

"Her?" He questioned,  "Why are so sure about the fact that it's a girl?"

She shrugged. "A mum thing, I guess." Shawn chuckled. "Wanna find out?"

Shawn nodded excitedly. "I have an appointment in a hour, come with me?"

They went for lunch and they were waiting for the doctor to call us. Shawn kept holding her hand and rubbing her belly. For once, he looked interested.

"Mrs Clark?" The doctor called her name as she stood up.

Shawn's hand took hers. "I forgot that your second name was still Clark." He whispered kissing her temple. "Need to change that really quickly."

Phoebe's stomach interrupted with butterflies. "If you say so." She laughed.

Once they were in the room. She laid herself on the chair as Shawn sat down next to her. The doctor who was a man walked into the room and greeted them.

"Hello, so how are you Phoebe?" He wondered.

She smiled softly. "Great. Doctor Jones this is the daddy's baby." She said proudly.

Shawn chuckled and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you."

"My pleasure." Answered my doctor. "Can you lift your shirt and show me that baby bump?"

She lifted my shirt and watched him applicate the cold gel on it. A minute later, they could see the baby on the screen. Shawn's eyes stared at the baby as he let out a happy cry, he kissed her lips and smiled.

"This is our baby." He whispered.

She nodded and dried his tears. "Our baby."

"Do you want to know the baby's sex? I could say if now or you could wait until the baby is born." He proposed.

Shawn bit his lower lip. "Now."

The doctor smiled. "Congrats, you're having a baby girl!" He said happily as they both gasped.

Shawn's forehead pressed against Phoebe's one as he cried of joy. "I can't believe it."

Doctor Jones patted Shawn's back. "Great to see you that happy, Mr.Mendes. First time?"

Shawn nodded. "First time seeing that little girl." He replied with a grin. "God, I'm so happy." He mumbled.

After a quick talk with the doctor, they were finally free to go back home. Shawn drove slowly back home as they entered the apartment, Shawn ran to the bathroom and started to throw up.

Phoebe rushed behind him and rubbed his back. "You okay, baby?" She whispered.

He hummed. "Can't believe it that I'm sick." He groaned. "I hate that."

"Looks like you're the pregnant one here." She joked as he cracked a smile. "Just go to bed, alright? I'll make you something to eat."

He nodded and went to their bed. He laid on it as Phoebe turned the tv on and put Harry Potter. She knew that he loved watching it when he was sick.

"Thanks babe." He muttered under his breath, letting a cough out.

She kissed his forehead. "Stay here. I will be back."

He pouted. "Come back fast, I wanna cuddles."

She laughed and nodded. "I will, don't worry."

As she walked downstairs, she hears Shawn groaning and mumbling. "I love you!" He yelled.

She shook her head. "Love you too!" She yelled back as she prepared soup for him.

Things couldn't be better.
