Chapter 26 - Rising Suspisions
Someone's screaming alarm woke me up. "Can someone turn that off??"
"It's yours Lily," Shawn and Vivian mumbled.
Oops...
I groaned and rolled over. Sure enough, my phone was rudely telling the whole room to get up. I hit the snooze, but it was too late, I was fully awake. Luckily it was 9 in the morning.
"Hey Viv, did you still want to go shopping?"
"Mmph, what time is it?" She asked.
"9:02."
"Nah, we have to be at the airport in a few hours so it's best to just wait."
"Okay," I unlocked my phone. There was about a million notifications on Twitter, Instagram, and iMessage.
I checked Instagram first and the photo I posted last night had almost 500k comments. What could that be about? I've never have that many on anything I've ever posted.
When I saw what was being said, my phone fell out of my hands, my mouth hung open, and my heart stopped. About 90% of the comments said something along the lines of "OH MY GOD, IS LILY PREGNANT?????"
"You all good Lily?" Vivian rubbed my arm.
I jumped and shook my head, "What do I do? Look at this."
She took my phone and her eyes got wide, "You haven't said anything?"
"Nope. And I didn't check the picture before I posted it, I assumed I was still in the clear since all my clothes still fit for the most part."
"Okay, hmm," she looked around the room. Shawn had fallen back to asleep, his hair lay across his face in the cutest way.
"Do you think I should not say anything? Or should I deny it?"
"Mmm, you're going to have to tell Shawn soon. I think for now it's okay to lie, or at least answer vaguely."
"I just don't want Shawn to break up with me!" I started to cry.
"Hey hey," Vivian hugged me and rubbed my back. "Only a douche would leave his pregnant girlfriend."
I heard shuffling in the room next door, everyone must be starting to wake up. Josiah's alarm went off, which woke up Shawn. I quickly dried my tears and yawned so he would just think I was tired.
"Why is it that some days I feel energized, and others I just want to snuggle in bed all day." Shawn groaned and rubbed his eyes.
"I feel that on a spiritual level," I nodded.
"Thank you Lily." I saw him reach for his phone.
"Okay! Shawn, let's go to the pool before we pack up!"
"Sounds good to me!"
We slipped out of the warm covers in sync. Since it was April, the weather wasn't horrible, a lot better than our Canadian winter. Granted, it was December back then.
I had two swim suits and I didn't know which one would show my baby bump less, the pink and purple bikini or the orange one piece. I decided on the one piece because it was patterned like a bandana which helped to hide the bump better.
Shawn whistled when I came out of the bathroom. He was wearing black swim trunks with a blue stripe down the side. I stuck my tongue out at him and walked over. He eyed me up and down and smirked.
"You look good enough to eat."
I blushed under his gaze, "Save it for later."
"I'll hold you to it." He pulled me close and pressed his lips onto mine.
"Ahem," Vivian and Josiah were staring at us.
"We'll be on our way," Shawn grinned.
"Thank you and good riddance," the responded in unison.
We gigged at each other and laced our fingers together. The level that the pool was located on was sandwiched between the lobby and the parking garage. Since it was a weekday, I assumed it wouldn't be too crowded.
Vivian's POV:
After Shawn and Lily left, I began gathering my stuff to repack in the suitcase. Josiah was in the bathroom making a headcount of all our hairdryers and curling irons.
"How far along is Lily?"
... what??
"Uh, what do you mean?"
"When did Shawn get Lily pregnant?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about Josiah."
He peaked his head out, "You two are thick as thieves. When's the baby due? And does Shawn know?"
I sighed, forgive me Lily, "August 23rd. And no, Shawn doesn't know, so don't mention anything."
"Awww, four months along. And of course I won't tell him, that's her personal business."
"Thank you. I'm just worried that since she hasn't told him, he may find out via Instagram."
"What do you mean?" Josiah looked confused.
"Lily posted a picture of the two of them and apparently the Mendes Army stans noticed her small bump."
"Has Shawn seen the picture?"
"He added it to his story, so yes, but not a close look I'm guessing."
"Okay. Well I wouldn't stress about it. He'll probably think it's just people spreading rumors. And I'll hep in any way I can."

Lily's POV:
The pool room was steamy, but felt nice. I looked around, it was completely empty. Sweet, we get everything to ourselves. I set my and Shawn's towels down on one of the reclining chairs that sat by the edge.
Again, I don't know if it was the pregnancy hormones, but seeing Shawn shirtless, his muscles toned and practically bursting at the bicep, made me weak in the knees.
He walked up to me with a gleam in his eyes. All of a sudden, he shoved me backwards and I fell into the water. Luckily it was warm, so I wasn't in too much shock. I swam up to the surface and glared at him. He stood balancing on the edge doubled over laughing.
"Oh you think you're so funny, don't you." I rolled my eyes. Great way to ruin the moment Shawn.
"Oh I know I'm funny. The look on your face was hilarious." He was gasping for breath and held his sides.
I splashed him from where I was treading water. He jumped back, then began running towards me and did a cannonball into the pool. I swam over to him and dunked him under as soon as he came up.
"Okay okay, we're even." He put his hands up in surrender.
I rolled over onto my back and floated. Shawn moved over to the shallow end and was trying to do a headstand. I moved with the water and ended up near Shawn. The water was shallow enough where I could stand up and wade over to him.
He bounced back top side and grinned at me. I stuck my tongue out at him and chuckled. He put his hands on my hips and pulled me to him. He purred in my ear and his breath sent tingles down my body.
I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him. He held my butt securely in his hands and molded his mouth to mine. I twisted my fingers around his wet hair and smiled against his lips and giggled.
"Did I say you could stop kissing me young lady?" Shawn said with a low growl in his throat.
Oh god, I was getting so turned on right now.
I stared into his eyes and they were dark and lustful. He started planting wet kisses along the side of my neck. I let out a soft moan and completely relaxed in his arms.
"Kiss me," he smirked.
"As you wish, Mr. Mendes." I quickly pecked his lips.
He growled again and set me down. I smiled sweetly with a hint of mischief. He grabbed my waist with one hand and the back of my head with the other, then pushed my lips against his.
He tasted like chlorine, but I didn't mind. We continued our hot makeout session for quite a while before we had to catch our breath. My heart was beating so fast, and I could feel his was as well.
"Should we..." he trailed off and raised an eyebrow.
I shivered at his unfinished question. knowing exactly what it was. "I would say yes, but our room is kinda occupied."
"What about here?"
"Shawn, someone could come in at any moment. Plus we should go back soon." My body and my heart was saying yes, but my mind was turning down the idea.
"Oh fine. But I don't know how much longer I can go," he pouted.
"It's been 3 days," I snorted.
"Exactly! 3 days without anything." He kissed my cheek and hugged me.
"Well I'll make it up to you, I promise."
"I'll remind you of that Lily."
"Sounds good." I swam to the deep end and lifted myself out of the water and on to the concrete.
Shawn followed suit and jogged over to grab our towels. He wrapped me up in mine and then himself in his. An idea popped into my head when I saw him in his towel close to the edge of the pool.
I nonchalantly walked towards him then shoved him into the water, towel and all. "HA!! That's what you get Shawn!!"
He floated back up coughing and spluttering, "What was that for?!"
"We are now officially even."
"You win Lil."
I helped him out of the water and we walked back up to our hotel room. When we had gotten back, Vivian and Josiah had packed up all their stuff and our stuff.
We decided to let the shower run over our hair, there wasn't time to get full on washed up. We had to be at the airport in an hour and a half, and it took just as long to get there.
Once we'd finished, clothes had been set out for us by Vivian. She had given me a loose fitting top, thank goodness. I changed quickly and made sure I hadn't left anything behind.
Shawn was done shortly after and joined me out in the hall. We walked arm in arm down the stairs and to the first floor. There was a loud commotion, I couldn't tell where, then I saw.
The lobby was full of security who were holding back reporters, paparazzi, and fans. "I guess we have a departing gift," Shawn shouted over the roar of the people.
Jake made a path for Shawn and I to walk through. The car was waiting on the other side of this tunnel of humans. Journalists were asking Shawn a million questions a minute, cameras were flashing, and fans were screaming Shawn's name.
We had almost made it to the end of the line, the car was about 10 feet away. A reporter pulled on Shawn's jacket, stopping him from going any farther.
"SHAWN!! How do you feel about the baby?"
I froze mid step and my heart froze...
He turned to face the reporter and looked confused, "What baby?"
