Word Count: 750

It's early morning when you pull into the lot behind the arena in Texas. The bus that you know Shawn is on has Andrew and Cez standing outside of it. You put the car in park and go around to unbuckle and wake up your daughter, Luna, in the back seat. It's Shawn's birthday and you've been planning this surprise for months.

Andrew grins when he sees you approaching with a very sleepy toddler over your shoulder. "Shawn's still asleep."

"Good. Because this little one isn't up for mornings anyways." You pat Luna's back and step up into the bus. The place is a half cleaned mess. You wouldn't expect any less with Shawn and three to four other guys living on it. Typical. At least they tried.

You make your way to the back of the bus where Shawn's bed is. You pull back the privacy curtain and there he is, just as soft and big as ever. It's been three months since you've gotten to see him in person. Video chat just isn't quite the same. You set Luna on the bed and she crawls haphazardly up to Shawn, wiggling under his half pulled up blankets.

"Pumpkin no," Shawn grumbles, patting at her dark mess of hair. "Daddy needs to sleep longer."

You sink on to the bed and crawl up behind him. You slide your hand around his chest and place a kiss on the back of his neck. It feels good to touch him again. It's been a while since he went on a tour, not since Luna was born, and you had forgotten how it felt to be reconnected after a long period of time.

"Mmm, baby," he groans, rolling to face you, eyes still closed.

"Yes Shawn?" You whispers, playing with his curls.

"Miss you."

"Well I'm right here." You grin, knowing he thinks he's dreaming.

Luna appears and crawls over him to lay between the two of you. "Daddy," she fusses sleepily, tugging at the comforter. "Blanket."

"Mmm." He lifts the blanket as best he can and Luna slides under, pressing against his chest to mooch off of his body heat. "Little snuggle bug." He wraps an arm around her and that's when he opens his eyes finally to be met with yours only inches away.

"Good morning."

"This isn't a dream." Pure joy spreads across his face and he lights up. "Good morning baby."

"Daddy shh I'm sleepin'," Luna says, pressing her face into his chest.

"Surprise." You whisper and lean in to kiss him quickly. "Happy birthday big guy."

Shawn reaches over and pulls you close, sandwiching your daughter between the two of you. "I can't believe you're here, and you brought Luna. How'd you manage this?"

"Took vacation at work and flew us down here." You grin big. "Did you think I'd miss your birthday?"

"I guess I didn't think about it." He smiles sleepily and pets down Luna's hair. "I can't believe she's here."

"Mmm. It was an adventure, but she is bursting with excitement even if she's too tired to show it right now."

"I can't wait to show her what I do every night at a show. It'll be her first one, do you think she's excited?"

"It's all she can talk about." You rub up and down Luna's back and she nuzzles against Shawn's skin. "She's watched a lot of videos but it's not quite the same as real life and getting to be in that energy."

"I'm nervous." He chuckles. "What if I trip?"

"You almost always trip. It wouldn't be your show if you weren't falling all the time. Besides, she's your daughter what is there to be nervous about?"

"You're right. I should chill. She's three though, completely unfiltered. What if she says I suck?"

You run your hand over his hair and he closes his eyes. "Shawn, you're literally the whole world to her. You could forget every word to your songs and she'd think you're the most incredible person on the planet. Don't worry about it."

Luna rolls onto her back and reaches up to grab Shawn's face and ends up grabbing his chin. "I love you Daddy."

"I love you too pumpkin pie." He leans down and smooches her head. "My little later tot."

Luna squeals and giggles, pushing away his face.

"Oh I'm gonna getcha!"

"So much for sleeping in." You smile as Shawn scoops Luna into his arms and rolls her around on the bed tickling her and giving her kisses. You are glad you decided to do this. You've missed being a family.
