Our Child

Shawn's POV

I couldn't help but feel my spirt fly high at her words.

I sat back in my seat, cuddled up next to Camila as we let the happiness soak right into our bodies and our hearts. I closed my eyes for a moment to savour the precious moment but my eyes shot open to savour the moment whilst studying the jewel that was now on her finger, almost gleaming as bright as her.

Our eyes met and my heart swelled. "We're going to get married." She cooed, quietly, now straddling me with her hands cupping my face. My heart fluttered at the thought of Camila in a white dress or even signing the papers at the City Hall. It didn't matter to me, I just wanted to be connected to her in every single way possible. "You're going to be a Mendes." I kissed her cheek as she giggled. "If you say I do." She joked and I scoffed, "I'm confident that I'll say I do...are you going to run off?" I eyed her, laughing.

"No. I'm not crazy." She said in all seriousness. I tilted my head and squinted my eyes, "ehh." She swatted my chest, "I'm not! You're the crazy one." She pouted, crossing her arms.

Moments like these; I was excited to share more of these moments as a married couple.

"Kids?" She asked, suddenly. The question caught me off guard which would explain the sudden shock on my face. "Like...do you want kids...with me?" She was shy about her question but I assured her to look back up at me. "I want kids with you. Do you...want kids with me?" I was hesitant because I didn't want her to feel pressured to answer so bluntly.

Her face beamed and my heart skipped a little faster, "yeah." I nodded, pecking her lips. "But...I'm not sure if I'd be a good mother." I shook my head, violently.

I hated that she thought so poorly of herself. She was the most amazing person there ever was. I adored her, deeply. She was all I thought about and quite frankly, I wasn't complaining about it.

"Hey...you'll be an amazing mother. I know that because...I am better because of you. You teach me to be better...I treasure you and so will our child." I didn't notice the tears that fell down my cheek until Camila wiped them away as I did for her. "Our child...I like that." She smiled, giddily.

Our child.

It made my heart soar and my knees weak. Everything that involved Camila made me smile wider, think wiser, and love harder.

"I like that too...should we make a baby?" I joked, wiggling my eyebrows. She gasped but laughed, softly, "soon..." she whispered. "Soon?"

"Soon."

The flight back home was seriously exhausting but since the time zones were different, it was still daylight back in Miami.

Camila and I wanted to break the news to our parents as soon as possible because neither of us could contain our excitement. Of course, my friends had already found out from my post on Snapchat but other than that, our families were out in the dust with this.

Our families were close. Camila's mom and my mum had gotten very close. Sometimes, they'll even spend days doing whatever it is that girls do. More often than not, Camila would join them and as did Aaliyah when she was visiting.

"We can invite them here. For dinner." She suggested as we made our way into our home that wasn't as lively as usual because of course, we weren't in it. "Also...thank you for being such a gentleman." She winked, kissing my cheek before making her way in the house. She was referring to the fact that I happily carried both of our bags everywhere.

"Tonight?" I continued the conversation. "Yes...if that's okay."

My mother arrived first with Aaliyah and Jordan by her side. They were back here visiting for the next month as the two of them usually switched back and forth occasionally.

"Son...I've missed you but move over so I can see my Mila." My mum shoved me to the side and instead held Camila close. Certainly, Camila had hidden her ring so that the surprise wouldn't be ruined.

"Hey guys." Aaliyah squealed, greeting both Camila and I as Jordan and I sparked up our own little conversation before Sinu joined us.

"My little boy." She joked, gesturing me to bend over so she could hug me.

Dinner was going well which was no surprise. "So...I need to ask. When are the two of you getting married?" Karen dropped her fork with a begging look on her face as so did Aaliyah. "Yeah. I need grandkids." Sinu chimed in. "Jordan and I want to be aunts and uncles." Aaliyah laughed.

I glanced over at Camila who nodded, eagerly. I looked back at our family who seemed awfully confused. Swiftly, I placed Camila's ring back on her finger with a kiss to her hand.

Gasps and loving words filled the air as Camila and I shared a small kiss before looking back at our family who looked at us in awe.

"Oh my god! Congratulations, my loves!" Sinu said first, hugging the both of us and expressing encouraging words to the both of us.

The rest of our family joined in, "love is the most beautiful thing, you know?" Karen raised an eyebrow at me, waving her finger. I fixed my gaze on my beautiful fiancé, "oh...I know."
