"Shawn! You're home let's go out today!" Brian says as Shawn sets his phone on speaker, resting it on the counter next to him.

"I can't." He says setting a plate in the dishwasher.

"What? Why not?" Brian asks, a slight whine in his voice.

"I have to clean the house." He says with a smile.

How often does a boy smile about cleaning. Shawn's only smiling because he knows that him cleaning the house is gonna make his wife happy, and 'Happy Wife, Happy Life' is the truest statement he's ever heard.

"When did you get old?" Brian asks, scoffing at Shawn's excuse.

"I didn't get old Brian, I got married."

"Right, old."

Shawn rolls his eyes, setting another plate in the dishwasher.

"I'm bored and need someone to hang out with." Brian sighs, "Can we please go out."

"You can come over here, but I'll be bored since I'll be cleaning all day."

"Can we order pizza for lunch."

"Sure, Camila's coming home for lunch today."

"Sweet, okay then I'll be over in a few."

Shawn nods, even though Brian can't see him, and hangs up so he can finish the dinner.

When Brian gets there Shawn opens the door with a broom in hand.

"You weren't kidding when you said clean huh?"

"Nope."

Brian walks in, looking around. "Why are you cleaning? This place looks great."

"Because I'm almost done." Shawn laughs, "You should have seen it earlier."

"You two that messy?"

"Well I just got home so I've been a slob, and she's been stressing about work and this new promotion so she's been a slob, so yeah?"

"Makes sense." Brian nods, flopping on the couch, flipping through Netflix.

The pizza has been delivered and Camila is on her way home for her hour lunch break.

Shawn and Brian are seated on the couches, playing video games as they wait for Mrs to come home.

Camila walks in, throwing her purse on the ground, meeting the boys in the living room.

"You cleaned." Camila smiles at Shawn.

He looks up at the sound of her voice, smiling really wide at her.

"Yeah." He nods.

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me, I can pull my share of chores around here." He says holding a hand out for her. "How's work?" He asks pulling her on the couch with him.

"Tiring, they've got me covering for Angela who is in labor."

"But I thought you were covering for Tim, who just had surgery."

"Oh I am."

"You are doing your work, Tim's work, and now Angela's?" Brian speaks up.

"Yep, which is why I might pass out."

"We got pizza. Does that help?" Brian asks.

"Um..."

"I got you pasta." Shawn whispers in her ear, leaving a kiss on the side of her head.
