Zoë POV

I wake up and untangle myself from Shawn and hop into the shower. I should go back to the hotel and go site seeing with Skye and my mom before we have to go to the venue later.

"Shawn?"

"Hmm?"

"I'm going to the hotel to get Skye ready, I'll see you this afternoon though okay?" I caress his cheek gently. He yawns and cuddles down into the blankets. "What time is it?" He asks gruffly. "About nine." "Ok, I'll call you." I smile and kiss his cheek. "Are you staying here tonight?" "Yeah is that okay?""Uh huh." His eyes are half closed a lazy smile on his face. I get my phone off the nightstand along with my purse and exit the apartment.

"Mommy! Are we going to see Times Square today?" Skye asks as soon as I walk into the hotel room.

"We can, but we have to get to the venue to see daddy this afternoon." Her eyes widen. "Yes! Can we get cupcakes before daddy's show?" I furrow my eyebrows. I'm about to ask what for when I remember today is her birthday. "I can ask him," I say and look around the room noticing that my mom isn't here. "Where's grandma?" I ask ( it's weird to call my mom that)

"She's getting breakfast! She said you were with daddy last night." I nod checking my phone for any new texts before putting it back in my pocket.

"I was, now what are you wearing tonight?" I ask. She hops off the bed and flips open the suitcase. "I want to look cool! Um.." She reaches in and pulls out her tiny vans making me giggle. "Can I wear a dress"

"You want to be comfortable, at concerts you dance and jump up and down a lot." I explain as she keeps looking through the suitcase.  "What about these?" She pulls out some black skinny jeans and holds them up. "Can you wear your jeans like these so we can match?" I nod. "What shirt do you want?" She hands me the jeans and keeps looking as my mom walks in. "Morning how was dinner with Shawn last night." She asks setting the tray on the desk. "Good, were trying to figure out what Sky's birthday outfit is going to be huh?" Skye says nothing as she continues to dig through the suitcase. "What about.." She pulls out her Little Mermaid shirt which reminds me of something. I set the jeans on the bed and reach in my backpack for the box. "Hey, Skye I have a present for you."

She sits on the floor and rips open the box and pulls out a baseball tee. I saw this online and had to get it for her. She looks at the shirt and then me. "Do you like it?" I ask. " I LOVE IT!" She screams and hugs the shirt to her. "What did mommy get you?" My mom asks laughing at her enthusiasm. "It's a unicorn shirt and it says seven! and it's my favorite color blue and.. She holds it up and squeals to see her name on the back along with the number seven. "Go eat your breakfast and then you can get dressed and we can see times square!" She nods happily and digs into her pancakes as my mom and I chat.

+A few hours later+

"Where's daddy?" Skye asks as we go down the long hallway to Shawn's dressing room. " He's in this room," I say reading his name next to the door. I show the security my pass before he opens the door.  Skye runs in I hear her excitedly talking to Shawn. I walk in and smile looking at the two of them on the couch.

"Daddy! It's my birthday today and looks at this cool shirt mommy got me." She says and turns around to show it off proudly. "Happy birthday princess, and that is a cool shirt." He says. "I can't wait to see your perform tonight! Oh mommy and I brought cupcakes too!"She says happily glancing at me. I hold up the box of cupcakes. Shawn looks at me and smiles. "That's great I'll definitely have one."  He says  I sit next to him and lay the box on my lap and open it. "Which do you want Skye?"  I ask."Chocolate!" I laugh and hand her a cupcake and pull out a napkin from my purse. "Mind if I?" Shawn asks his hand hovering over the box.
