A/n: Okay so I make Rose sound like a five year old here but she's supposed to be three, so let's act like she's three but can talk like a five year old. Okay, let's begin!
Shawn's point of view
Just a couple of months ago, my wife Y/n gave birth to our first son, Jacob Alexander Scott Mendes. We also have a three year old daughter named Rose Lucille Mendes. Almost immediately after Y/n gave birth to Jake, as we call him, I asked my amazing wife if we could have another baby. She said yes but she wants to wait a couple of years. I love my babies and I can't wait to have more.
I was laying in bed when I heard Jake's cry in the middle of the night.
"I got him baby girl." I said to my wife, knowing that she had been awoken. She nodded and closed her eyes.
"Thank you." She said.
"Of course, anything for you my dear." I said.
I walked down the hall and into my little boy's room.
"It's okay, Daddy's here. Come here my little guy." I said. I picked him up and he immediately calmed down. He loves it when either one of his parents hold him.
"Shawn?" Y/n said.
"Go back to bed love." I said, looking at my wife. Even in her sweatpants and hoodie she looked gorgeous.
"Does he need anything?" She asked, walking into the room and ignoring what I said. I smelled his butt and made a face.
"He needs a diaper change. I got it. Please go back to bed my love. It's like, two in the morning." I said. She nodded, kissed my cheek, kissed Jake's cheek, and went to bed. I smiled.
I put Jake on the table that will hold him as I change his diaper, and changed his stinky poopy diaper. What are we feeding this boy? Also, he seems to be growing so fast for a kid who's only two months old. I love this little boy so much. Him, his sister, and their mommy have my whole heart, they're my angels, my loves, my inspiration, so many things. Even though Jake is only two months old, I've already written a song or two about him. One of them was about his birth. When he was born, he came out crying, then he stopped. The cord had been wrapped around his neck, but the doctors cut it. It was a very scary experience. My other song about him is about my love for him.
I soon finished changing Jake's diaper and set him down in his crib. I leaned against the rail of his crib, staring at him. He looks just like his daddy, but he has my wife's eyes and nose. His hair is brown and curly, just like mine. It was a good thing that I didn't leave his room because he soon started to stir. When he opened his eyes, before he could even begin to cry, I picked him up.
"What's wrong with my little boy?" I asked. He just stared at me.
"Shawn?" I heard my wife say. She was leaning against the door frame, smiling at Jake and I.
"Yes my love?" I asked.
"Did you change his diaper?" She asked. I looked back at our son and nodded.
"Yeah. I set him down and then he started to stir again so before he could cry I picked him back up." I said. She walked over to me and leaned on me as she smiled at Jake.
"I love my boys." She said, causing me to smile.
"Your boys love you." I said. She smiled at me.
"Come back to bed with me. The three of us need our rest." She said. I nodded.
"Yeah but I just want to keep staring at this little guy." I said. She quietly giggled.
"I know, but we all need sleep. Come on, come cuddle with me." She said. I nodded and set Jake back down in his crib. I held her hand and we walked bed. We got into bed and my beautiful wife put her head on my chest.
"I love you darling." I said.
"I love you too. You're such a good daddy." She said. I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"You're such a good mommy. Here, come closer to me." I said, somehow pulling her body even closer to mine. We fell asleep but were soon woken up by the sound of Rose's cry. I looked at the time as Y/n got out of bed.
"Do you want me to get her and you'll make us some of your delicious pancakes?" Y/n asked. I smiled and nodded.
"Sure. You go get my other favorite girl. We'll let Jakey rest." I said. She nodded. I went downstairs and started to make the pancakes.
"Daddy!" I heard Rose yell. Y/n and I shushed her.
"You have to be quiet sweet pea, your brother is still sleeping." I said. She nodded.
"Okay. Sorry." She said.
"It's okay. Why don't you go play with your toys and Daddy and I will make you breakfast, okay?" Y/n said and asked. Rose nodded and went to her toys. Y/n walked over to me and hugged me from behind. I played with her wedding ring as I made the pancakes.
"You know, you look absolutely beautiful today baby." I said. I know that she doesn't believe that she's beautiful, but she is. She's the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and I've seen tons and tons of girls.
"Thank you honey, but I'm just in sweatpants and one of your hoodies." She said. I turned around so I could face her.
"So what? You still look gorgeous." I said. She blushed.
"And you look very handsome." She said, causing me to blush. She giggled.
"Come here." I said before capturing her lips with mine. I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks, I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, and I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my stomach. We pulled away from each other.
"Gosh you give me insane feelings." She said with a smile. I chuckled.
"Well that's good because you give me insane feelings too." I said. I went back to the pancakes and we soon heard Jake's cry.
"I got him, you keep cooking." My wife said while patting my butt. I laughed. I love calling her my wife or Mrs. Mendes. Y/n soon came back down, but she was holding Jake in her arms.
"Hi my little man." I said, waving to Jake. He just looked at me.
"Say hi to Daddy." Y/n said, and raised Jakes hand up so he would fake wave to me. I laughed.
"Baby can I ask you a favor?" I asked. She nodded.
"Of course." She said.
"Will you take over the pancakes and finish them up so I can spend some time with the kids please?" I asked. She smiled and nodded as she handed Jake to me.
"Of course my love." She said. I pecked her lips as a thank you, and took Jake over to his big sister.
"Look who's here Rose." I said as I sat down and put Jake in my lap.
"Hi Bubba." Rose said to Jake. That's what she calls him. She put the words baby and brother together and got Bubba. I smiled at her calling him that.
"Breakfast is ready!" Y/n soon called. I put Jake in his high chair and Rose in her own seat. Y/n and I sat across from each other. The rose that Rose had once found in a field at a park had died, so I bought a bouquet of roses to replace that single rose. Y/n cried when she saw the bouquet for the first time.
"This is really good babe." I said to Y/n.
"Well it was a team effort, so you should pat yourself on the back Shawny." Y/n said. I patted myself on the back which caused Y/n to laugh. Rose then patted herself on the back, causing Y/n and I to laugh.
"Why are you patting yourself on the back my Rosie girl?" I asked.
"Because I want to be like you Daddy." She said. My heart melted. She was done eating and I was too, so I got up, walked over to her, and picked her up.
"Mind if you finish feeding Jake and I steal her for a little bit?" I asked Y/n. She shook her head.
"Go ahead." She said. I took Rose into the family room, which is on the other side of the house, and I sat down, putting Rose on my lap.
"What's wrong Daddy?" Rose asked. I didn't even realize that I had tears in my eyes which must have just formed. I shook my head.
"I'm just very proud and happy to be your father. I love you very much." I said as I wiped the tears away. She smiled at me.
"I love you too Daddy." She said.
"I'm sorry that I'm away so much. You know that it's so I can support you guys and help put food on the table and keep a roof over our heads, right?" I said and asked. She nodded.
"Yes Daddy." She said.
"Sweet pea can you do me a favor?" I asked. She nodded.
"Yeah." She said. I kissed her forehead.
"Never stop calling me Daddy because that's what I'll always be. Okay?" I asked. She smiled and nodded.
"Okay Daddy. Can I have a kiss please?" She asked. I chuckled.
"My sweet pea, you can always have a kiss." I said. I gave her a kiss.
"Mwah!" She said as she kissed me. I laughed.
"You're a cutie." I said.
"Am I cuter than Bubba?" She asked.
"You and your Bubba are equally cute." I said. She frowned.
"But I want to be cuter than him." She said. I chuckled and kissed her forehead again.
"I know, but you guys are equal. Come on, let's go back to your mommy and brother." I said. I held her hand as we walked back over to them. After breakfast Y/n took me aside while Rose was playing and Jake was napping.
"I want you to do something with Jakey today after he naps." Y/n said.
"Okay. Why?" I asked.
"Because what if he realizes that you were spending time with Rose and not him and he gets jealous?" She asked while being dead serious.
"Honey, he's a baby, I'm pretty sure that he's not even aware that I'm his father or that you're his mother. I don't think he realizes or is aware of a whole bunch of things. All he knows is to eat, sleep, cry, and pee and poo." I said with a laugh. She swatted at my chest lightly, causing me to laugh even harder.
"Still, spend time with him. You spend a lot of time with Rose but not as much with him and I don't say that to upset you, I'm just pointing it out." She said.
"No, I spend time with the both of them!" I said.
"Yes, but you spend more time with her than you do with him." She said. I thought back for a moment, trying to remember the last time I really sat down and put Jake on my lap and watched the tv with him or something. I couldn't remember the last time I did that.
"I can't remember, crap." I said.
"Now, when was the last time that you did something with Rose, besides just now?" Y/n asked. I thought for a moment.
"Well I just took her for a walk around the neighborhood yesterday and the day before that, and we went to the park the other day and oh my gosh you're right. I'm such a terrible father." I said.
"Shawn Peter Raul Mendes, you are not a terrible father, you are an amazing father, so get that through your head. You just said how you took Rose for walks and took her to the park and stuff. I just want you to spend some time with our little boy." She said as she wiped my tears away. I nodded.
"Okay. When he wakes up I'll put him in his stroller and take him for a walk and then later today maybe you and Rose can do something and Jake and I will watch tv or take a nap or maybe even both." I said. Y/n nodded her beautiful head.
"Maybe after your walk you two can take a nap and then later on you guys can watch tv." My oh so smart wife said. I smiled at her and nodded.
"You're full of good ideas." I said. She blushed, causing me to chuckle.
"Well thank you Mr. Mendes." She said.
"You're welcome Mrs. Mendes." I said.
"God that never gets old." She said. I smiled.
"You know what else never gets old?" I asked.
"Hm?" She asked.
"Doing this." I said before putting my lips on hers. It was a great kiss, all until we heard Jake's cry. As much as I love my little boy, I love kissing my wife too.
"You should probably go get him." She said with a giggle. I nodded and ran upstairs.
"It's okay Daddy's here, and he's going to spend a lot of time with you today." I said. Jake stared at me. I checked to see if he needed his diaper changed as he continued to cry, and he didn't. Maybe he needed to be fed? I brought him downstairs.
"Does he need food?" Y/n asked.
"I think so." I said. I gave him a bottle and he immediately started to drink. "There we go, now you're calmer. We're going to do so much today, my little boy." I said. Y/n rubbed my back a little, causing me to smile at her. She leaned her head on my arm since she's so short.
"Look at him guzzle that milk down." She said with a laugh. I nodded and smiled at him.
"I hope that our kids realize how much we love them." I said. Y/n nodded against my arm. I looked at her. "I hope that you realize how much I love you." I said.
"Well no matter how much you love me, I love you more." She said. We have this fake fight about this constantly.
"No way babe. I love you with every fiber of my being, with every cell in my body." I said.
"Well I feel the same way." She said as she smiled, shook her head, and walked over to Rose. I took Jake upstairs and sat in the rocking chair. He had finished drinking by now and was staring at me.
"Hey little one. We're going to do some stuff today. We're going to go for a walk around the neighborhood in your stroller, well I won't be in your stroller, I'll be pushing it, but anyways, then we're going to nap together in mine and Mommy's bed, and then we're going to watch tv together. What do you want to watch?" I said and asked. More staring occured. "Okay, sounds like a good show. We'll watch that." I said. Suddenly I heard a little giggle. I looked up to see Rose at the door.
"Hi Daddy." She said as she walked over to me.
"Hi sweet pea. What are you laughing at?" I asked.
"He didn't say anything when you asked him what he wanted to watch, but you still said something like he responded to you." She said. I laughed.
"There must be something on tv that babies like. What did you like as a baby Rosie girl?" I asked.
"I don't remember. Daddy?" She said and asked.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Can I go on the walk too?" She asked. A pang of guilt shot right through my heart.
"I'm sorry sweet pea, but I've got to spend more quality time with Jake." I said.
"But we always go for walks." She said.
"I know but I need to spend some alone time with Jakey, okay?" I asked.
"I knew that you would stop loving me." She said, causing my heart to break. I put Jake in his crib for a moment so I could talk to her.
"Rose, come here." I said after I sat back down, patting my lap. She hesitantly walked over to me and then I picked her up so she could sit on my lap. "When I found out that Mommy was pregnant with you, I started to love you right away. I even cried because I was so happy."
"But Daddy you never cry." She said.
"I cry sometimes, it's just not that often." I said.
"Oh." Rose said. I nodded.
"I've loved you from the moment that I knew about you, and that will never, ever, ever, change. I will always love you. Understand sweet pea?" I said and asked. She nodded.
"I understand Daddy." Rose said.
"Now, I'm going to need you to stop getting older. Stay this little forever, okay?" I asked teasingly. She giggled and shook her head.
"Nooo." She said. Then she turned serious. Tears formed in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Do you think that Jake will ever take you and Mommy away from me?" She asked. I shook my head.
"That's never going to happen either." I said. She smiled, causing me to smile.
"Okay. Can I go play with my toys now?" She asked. I chuckled and nodded.
"Of course honey. Want me to walk you to your toys?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No. I'm a big girl, I can do it." She said. I set her down but held her shoulders so she was still facing me.
"Just remember, no matter how old or how big you get, you're always going to be my little girl." I said. She nodded and ran off to play with her toys. I looked at Jake. He was sleeping. I went downstairs and found Y/n on the couch, reading. She looked up and when she saw me, she smiled.
"Hey. Rose escaped me and said she wanted to see you." Y/n said. I sat down on the couch with my amazing wife and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, we just had a talk because she said 'I knew that you would stop loving me' when I told her that I needed alone time with Jake, so I told her how much I love her and how happy I was when I found out that you were pregnant with her, stuff like that." I said. Y/n nodded.
"I remember that you were so happy that you cried. Same thing for when I told you that I was pregnant with Jake." Y/n said. I nodded. Her and I spent some time together before we heard Jake's cry. I went upstairs to Jake's room, and picked him up. He was just being cranky, so I put him in his stroller and we went for a walk around the block. I talked to him throughout the walk. Some of my neighbors spotted me and they love seeing Jake and Rose so they came over to say hi.
"Oh my gosh he's getting so big. How old is he now?" Mrs. Hill said and asked.
"Two months, and Rose just turned three." I said with a smile.
"Well I can tell that you're a proud daddy. Enjoy your walk!" She said. I thanked her and we continued on our walk. We soon arrived back home.
"Did you guys have a nice walk?" Y/n asked. I nodded, gave her a quick kiss, and carried Jake upstairs.
"Time for a nap my little boy." I said. For the next three hours, Jake and I slept. Well, I only slept a little. I was mostly staring at my handsome little guy. After our nap, Jake and I went downstairs and watched some tv. Rose and Y/n were in another room, playing. Overall, it was a good day.
