Justine's Pov...

Shawn is leaving today for tour, so he's currently in our room packing with Holland in a baby wrap and Wesson unpacking what he's packing.

I keep hearing him groan every time Wesson pulls something out of his suitcase. "Wesson Blake knock it off." He chuckled, trying not to get too mad at him.

"I'm helping." "No, you're doing the opposite of helping. The clothes need to go in the suitcase and stay in the suitcase." He chuckled. "I don't want you to go." He whined. "I don't want to go, but I have to."

Wesson dramatically groaned then ran out of our room and into his room and watched me put his laundry away. "Mommy, make YOUR Husband stay." He pouted. "I tried, but Mr. Meanie face won't let him." I laughed slightly.

"Why does he always make him leave without notice? It's rude." He said as he started to help me put his clothes away. "I don't know bud, it's just how it is." "Well he's rude and needs to learn that kids need their parents or they won't mature properly, just look at Uncle Sebby."

This kid. "He's only going to be gone for a little while, plus you get to hang out with Aunt Hannah while I'm at work." "If you had another baby, he has to stay right?" "Oh boy, Wesson, It doesn't work like that." I laughed as I hung up the last shirt.

"Fine." He sighed as he sat down on my foot and hugged my leg with his body. I walked to my room, dragging my leg cause he was slightly too heavy for me to lift my leg enough to take a step.

"Okay, I'm fully packed and Holland has a full diaper." Shawn chuckled as he carefully took him out of the baby wrap and laid him on the changing pad that is on our dresser.

While he changed his diaper, I just stared at him. It's weird what kind of things you find hot once you're married and have kids. For example my husband changing our son's poopy diaper.

Why it's hot? I don't know. Parenthood is just weird. He threw away the diaper then picked Holland up, gave him quick little kisses on his cheek then laid him down in his crib that is currently in our room. Those little kisses always melt my heart.

After that we had lunch, then said our goodbyes. "I love you daddy!" Wesson waved as Shawn got into the passenger seat of Sebby's car. He blew us kisses, then waved as Sebby drove away.

Shawn kept me updated from when he got to the airport up until he got to his hotel for the night. He's a couple hours ahead of us, so he called during dinner to say goodnight and stayed on the phone until both boys were in bed asleep.

I had a few hours of quiet, minus Holland fussing to be fed or changed, so I was able to catch up on some episodes that I had recorded from various TV shows.

At some point, Wesson crawled into bed with me, which he never does. So now I'm just laying here in bed, wide awake listening to the sweet sounds of my boys breathing and making little noises as they dream and looking through pictures on my phone, reminiscing all of the amazing memories from each photo.

Every baby photo of Wesson that I come across makes me miss how little he used to be. I can't even imagine what life would be like right now if I didn't have him in high school.

Possibly at the same place career wise, but who knows if Shawn and I would still be together. I would hope so, I doubt having Wesson changed much in our lives. In my opinion we're exactly where we'd be with or without being teen parents.

I can't see Shawn as anything except for a famous singer, that has been his dream forever and I'm so proud of how far he has come in these past five years.

He's living his dream and I'm grateful to be able to watch him accomplish all of his goals. Life is just perfect right now.

Shawn's Pov...

I'm about to go and do a little Q&A with some of my fans and I'm really missing my family. I keep staring at my lockscreen, which is a picture from a photo shoot I did, where Wesson snuck in and refused to leave my side, so I posed as if he wasn't there, but held onto him at the same time.

It's my favorite picture of us. I can't believe my tiny little man is 5. It feels like just yesterday he was this tiny little 5 pound baby and now he's a huge 30 pound little boy.

I looked at the picture one last time, then walked into the little room that was filled with fans. "Hey, everyone, hows your day going?" I asked as I sat down on the chair they had set up for me.

Most of them mumbled 'good' then started asking questions when I picked them.

Fan 1: Is it true that you're married? I've been told that it's true but others say it's false.

Shawn: Yes, we've been married for a few years.

Fan 2: How many kids did you want when you were a kid and how many do you want now?

Shawn: I honestly don't think I have ever thought about it when I was younger, I'll says six just for the fun of it, but currently I'm good with just having two, maybe possibly a third in several years from now, but yeah I'm happy with my two little boys.

Fan 3: How old are your kids and what are their names?

Shawn: My oldest is five, his name is Wesson Blake Mendes and my youngest is two months old, his name is Holland Bohdi Mendes.

Fan 4: What do you think your life would be like if you never met your wife?

Shawn: I would definitely not be where I am right now. I'd probably still be hanging out with my trouble making friends.

A few more people asked questions, then I left and got ready for the show.
