Not Just A Lover (SEQUEL)

Chapter 64

A few days later...
"Welcome Y/N and Shawn to your couples therapy session, now I want you to know that only one person can speak at a time so that we can learn how the other partner feels." The therapist says as she moves her long wavy brown locks to the side.
"Now from what I've read it seems to me that you guys have been bickering quite often and it's over little things but then that leads to sensitive topics being brought up." She continues and I side eye Shawn but he's staring into space.
"Am I right.....Shawn?" She questions
"Hm? Oh yh you're right" He sighs
"So let's get started...we'll start with Y/N. Why do you think you've been so emotional lately?" She asks and I gulp.

"Well I don't know, this thought of Shawn getting tired of me always comes into my brain and it overwhelms me sometimes. Thus, when he does something nice I always question whether it's out of love or just to stabilise our relationship but sometimes I can get triggered and annoyed by that thought so I just lash out. I know it's not good to do and I don't know what's been going on with me lately but I-I just need reassurance tha-" I state
"What do you need reassurance for?" Shawn snaps
"Uh uh...Shawn let her speak" The therapist says and he slumps back in his chair.
"I need reassurance that you still love me Shawn and that we haven't gotten bored of each other...that's it." I finish
"Right so after hearing what Y/N said, can you understand where she's coming from?" She asks
"Well Yh I can understand that since we've been together for a couple of years now and we obviously want things to work. I can't really blame you for feeling that way but what can I actually do to prove that I'm still in love with you? Don't you think it's difficult trying to keep up this good image on social media and in public? I want things to work but you need to hear me out for once and don't jump to conclusions because that's what confuses me. Also is it not normal to do nice things for you and vice versa? I would just appreciate if you'd stop overthinking and assuming you know how I feel about you." He states
"So it looks like you guys still have affection for each other but you guys just need to communicate more, Y/N you should try and control your emotions even though it's hard for you especially during this stage and Shawn even though you feel like arguing back just let her vent and lash out but you should be calm and collected." She says and I suddenly feel nauseous.
"I-I need to go to the bathr-" I try to say before covering my hands over my mouth and rushing out the slightly open door.
"It's to your left!" She yells

Shawn's POV

"You've got to understand that it's not easy for her during this stage especially." She says placing her hand on my shoulder comforting me
"Why do you keep saying stage?" I chuckle
"What else do you want me to say? Isn't that the technical term?" She asks removing her hand
"I'm so confused" I answer

"Well I don't know Shawn,what would you call what your pregnant girlfriend is going through?" She says sarcastically

Did I hear that correctly

I burst out laughing and she gives me a puzzled look.
"I get that she's getting mood swings but you can't call her pregnant" I laugh
"Shawn..." She says in a serious tone and I look up
"How could you not tell?" She asks with concern
"You're not joking?" I question and she shakes her head

Oh shit

I get up and go to the female bathroom to hear Y/N violently throwing up.

How could I be so blind

"Y/N?" I ask in a soft tone and I start to hear quiet sobs. I rush to the cubicle,push it open and there she was curled up in ball crying her eyes out.
"I'm so sorry I don't know how I didn't notice earlier...did you know?" I say going on my knees
"W-what?" She whispers

She doesn't...

I close the toilet lid, flush it and help her get up. She washes her mouth out with water and I offer her some of my Vaseline as her lips were extremely dry.
"Let's go back inside we need to talk." I say
