Rose's POV:
"Shawn stop eating them now!" I scold, playfully swatting his hand away which was about to reach for another muffin. "But-"
„No but! Be helpful and lay the table before your parents are here!" I demand, pointing the wooden spoon onto him. He replies with a defeated sigh before strolling into the kitchen with plates and cutlery, causing me to giggle.
"It's not my fault that you make the most delicious muffins in the world." Shawn compliments as he returns, pressing a kiss to my temple with a hum.
Before I could answer he reaches in front of me and steals one away from the plate. May I add, his fourth one now. "Shawn!" He only chuckles after taking a big bite from the muffin while he leans against the kitchen counter.
Shaking my head amused, I move the pan with the vegetables off the oven. "Your muffin consumption is getting out of hand." I tease, wiping my hands on the kitchen towel. "I'm a tall and really strong man. I need that." Shawn winks as I turn to face him with my arms crossed.
"Hm." I hum, starting to walk past him to get some glasses for the dinner but he stops me by gently grabbing my waist, pulling me against him. "Your parents are here in twenty minutes. Let me go." I huff, trying to wiggle my way out of his grip but it's no use.
„So? That means we still have like ten minutes to make out." Shawn grins, swiftly lifting me up and placing me onto the counter, standing between my legs. "No, Shawn." I say, pushing him back by his chest but he doesn't budge. Instead he pulls me closer if that's even possible.
Annoyedly, I cross my arms in front of my chest. I'm not in the mood for that now. Oblivious to my annoyance or maybe he just doesn't care, Shawn cups my cheeks with his warm hands and for a moment I lean into his touch. Immediately he takes it as a sign that he can have his way.
Slowly he nears me, not breaking eye contact for a single second. "You are so beautiful." He whispers, his fingers running along my jaw, resting behind my neck. "Wait until I start to look like a whale." I grumble, referring to my continuously growing belly.
An adorable chuckle escapes his throat and he leans his head back in laughter. "A whale that can bake delicious muffins." Shawn mocks and I roll my eyes. "You, as my boyfriend, are supposed to make me feel better. No kiss for you now." I say and hop off the counter, acting like I'm truly upset.
Since I have had some huge mood swings lately, I know that Shawn will fall for it. "Rose? Baby, come here. I didn't mean it like that." Shawn calls after me as I rush towards the bedroom.
I try my best to hold back a laugh as I sit down on our bed and hide my face in my hands. As soon as I hear his footsteps approach me, I start fake crying. "Oh no." I hear him mumble and soon after I feel him crouching down in front of me.
„Love? Shhh, please don't cry. I-I didn't mean it. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen, no matter if you are pregnant or not. Please, I'm sorry." He says and I could hear that he's sincerely sorry.
Oh god. Poor boy. I almost feel bad. Just almost.
„Rose, I love you. I love you both. I would never think that being pregnant makes you less beautiful. I- I uh... please stop crying." He pleads and I can't contain my laughter anymore. "Oh my god, Shawn." I snicker, holding my stomach.
Confused he watches me with furrowed eyebrows, which only makes me laugh even harder. He is so sweet. "Are you serious right now?" Shawn asks. "You are so gullible sometimes." I snicker, reach to tousle up his hair but he backs away and stands up.
„Babe." I chuckle, following him as he walks through the door, clearly offended. "Shawn, come on." I try, grabbing his arm to stop him.
"No, Rose." He replies, attempting to shove me back but I quickly snake my arms around him, squeezing him tightly. "Stop." He scoffs, rolling his eyes. "I seriously thought you were sad."
"I'm sorry." I pout, resting my chin on his chest to look up at him. "You are not." Shawn states, raising his eyebrow. "You are right. I'm not." I giggle, sticking my tounge out.
„You honestly thought I would be mad about that? I mean, if you don't find me attractive anymore, it's your loss. I'm awesome." I shrug and just like I expectedly, a little smile appears his handsome face turning into a wide grin.
"You are lucky I love you." Shawn grumbles, his hands stroking down my sides until he stops at my backside. "But you are right. You are f*cking incredible." He coos, pinching my bum lightly, which causes a squeak to leave my lips.
Laughing, I hit his chest as he starts to kiss all over my face. "I. Love. You. So. Much." He murmurs lovingly in between kisses. My heart swells at his words and my whole body tingles because of his sweet touch. This boy has no clue what he does to me.
"Come on now, Idiot. We have to get ready." I smile, a shaky breath leaving my lips while I stroll into the kitchen. "Not so fast." Shawn says, stopping me by wrapping his arms around me from behind.
„Don't be nervous." He whispers into my ear, kissing right under it afterwards. Sighing, I lean my head back and close my eyes. "I just have a feeling that they won't be fond of it."
"Your grandma was so happy as we told her. Why shouldn't my parent be?"
„That's my grandma, Shawn. She had my mom with like seventeen. She can't be mad." I chuckle. "Maybe they are shocked at first but it will be fine. Now stop to worry. Okey?" Shawn asks, pecking my cheek once more and I nod.
.............................................................................
"Sweetheart, it's nice to see you again." Karen greets with a friendly smile as she pulls me into a hug. "It's good to see you too Karen." I respond with a light smile. "How's the girl that talked some sense into my son?" Manny teases as he hugs me too and I chuckle at Shawn's annoyed expression.
„Dad we already had that." He groans, walking with them towards the dining table. "Rose!" I finally hear my favourite Mendes call and soon I'm tackled into a hug. "Hey Liyah." I laugh, ruffling her long brown hair.
„I missed you. How was you school trip?" I ask as we pull apart. "Exhausting but fun. Guess who asked me out!" She squeals a bit too loud as we step into the room with the others. Immediately Shawn examines her skeptically and she just rolls her eyes.
„What did you say?" He questions.
„None of your business."
„I'm your brother. It's definitely my business."
"No it's not. You didn't tell me about Rose aswell at first." She mocks and Shawn crosses his arms while glaring at her.
„So it's about a boy? I knew it."
„Kids, don't even start." Karen sighs, rubbing her temple and I sympathetically place a hand on her shoulder. "Shawn, leave your sister alone and help me out in the kitchen, please." I say, sending him a warning glare.
Huffing he eventually obeys and follows after me. "You are always on her side." Shawn grumbles, taking the drinks. "I love you, hun. But she's my favourite Mendes." I grin, til toeing to reach his lips where I place a kiss.
"Hurry up now!" I call out while leaving the kitchen with the food. "I'm just gonna ignore what you said now." He shouts back, causing me to chuckle. He's so easy to annoy.
„Shawn be a little faster I'm hungry." Aaliyah exclaims, as he comes through the door, only giving her a glare which she simply ignores. I shake my head at the two bickering siblings and we finally start to eat and just talk about this and that.
Every minute that goes by, I become more nervous. Shawn seems to notice since he gently intertwines our hands under the table and smiles at me reassuringly. Exhaling deeply, I glance down onto my stomach which is obviously starting to show.
I can't hide it under clothes for much longer and we just decided it's time to tell his family. "So, what about dessert?" Shawn asks, standing up to get the cake from the kitchen.
"Thank you for the delicious dinner, sweetheart. You didn't have to cook that much and also bake a cake." Karen laughs and I just smile, too nervous to think about something to say.
„Hey! What makes you think she did it alone?" Shawn questions as he comes back. "I know your cooking skills, honey."
„Yeah me too." Aaliyah comments, scrunching up her nose, which makes us laugh. "I honestly feel the love for me in this family." Shawn mumbles and sits back down next to me.
"Before you can continue to make fun of me..." He starts, grabbing my hand on table and pressing a kiss to my knuckles. "Rose and I have to tell you something." Immediately they are all completely silent.
They stares making it unbearable for me to look up so I keep my gaze on our intertwined fingers. "What is it, son?" Manny questions and I quickly lift my head to see there clueless faces.
„Well... how do I say it?" Shawn smiles, shortly looking over at me before he averts his eyes back on his parents and sister. "We will have our own little family soon. Rose is pregnant." He confesses, giving my hand a soft squeeze.
I could see how he finally lets the breath out he has been holding the whole time and I nod, nervously examining their expression. And just how I expected... they are anything else but happy.
„Are you serious, Shawn?" His mom asks and I could already hear in her slightly raised voice that she didn't like the news at all. I knew it... "Yes mom. I'm totally serious."
„Oh my god." She gasps, standing up from her chair. "And you are telling me right now that you are happy about it?"
„Yes." Shawn responds, his hand squeezing mine a little tighter as I tense my body. "Oh really? Are you aware that you are only nineteen? Have you ever thought about the consequences it will have for Rose and your career?" His mother exclaims.
„Karen-"
„Manuel, don't tell me you are supporting that! They are nineteen and eighteen! How could you be so stupid!" She shouts, turning back to Shawn who starts to get angry aswell.
„Mom could you please calm down. We know what we are doing-"
„No obviously you don't! Rose, don't you realize that you are ruining his life? Both of your lives to be exact but you know what he has to loose! You need to abort it as long as you can!"
„Mom, shut up! I don't care, okey? I will try to manage my career and our family. If it doesn't work then it's just how it is but I will not get rid of our baby! And don't yell at Rose! It isn't her fault-"
„Don't you dare to talk to me like that, Shawn. You have no idea what you are getting yourself into." For the next minutes I just sit there, listening to Shawn fighting with his mom while his das tries to calm her down.
Aaliyah just stares at her plate, not knowing what to say either. I knew that they weren't gonna take it well and they are right. Shawn has to loose so much just because of a mistake and it's my fault. I wasn't as drunk as him.
"Mom-"
„No Shawn. Do whatever you want but we are not going to support you with that. Manuel, Aaliyah, we are going." She says before leaving trough the door.
„Dad?"
„I'm sorry son but this time I'm on your mothers side. You have to think about everything that can go wrong and all you are going to risk. A baby doesn't have a place in your life at the moment." He calmly says, nodding at Aaliyah to follow them.
Keeping her gaze on the ground she walks outside with them. Shawn shut the door loudly before he leans against the back of a chair. His chest heaving up and down and his cheeks read from all the shouting.
„F*ck them!" Shawn suddenly yells, kicking the chair in anger, causing me to flinch. "I can't believe them-"
„They are right."
