Chapter 27 - Excuses and Distractions

I stood there in shock, Shawn's going to find out!!! I have to do something to distract him. The first thing that came to my mind was falling over. There was enough room on the ground, so I suddenly collapsed against Shawn.

"Lily! Are you okay?" Shawn wrenched his arm out of the reporter's grasp.

Jake picked me up and started barreling through the rest of the mob. Vivian jumped inside the back with me, Jake, Shawn, and Andrew. I fluttered my eyelids open to see four concerned faces.

"What happened? Did someone hurt you?" Jake was holding on to my shoulders.

"No, I'm fine. I suddenly got claustrophobic and dizzy cause I haven't eaten today," I lied.

"Thank God you aren't hurt!" Vivian added.

Shawn wrapped his arms around me and I closed my eyes. "I was so worried about you!"

"I'm fine."

The car ride to the airport was quiet and long.  I was still stunned from earlier so I zoned out the majority of the way.  The other part was spent overthinking things.

When we arrived at the airport, there were fans and photographers waiting for us.  There was going to be no way we'd make it in unnoticed.  "Oh dear," Vivian sighed.

I began to cry.  Everyone looked over at me.  "I am fine, it's probably that time of the month soon."

Both Jake and Andrew looked as if they wanted to get hit by a bus.  That was most likely too much information for them.  But it was far from the truth.

Shawn pulled me onto his lap and I curled up into him. "I have an idea how we can get through the airport without getting mobbed."

"How?" I looked up at him.

"We can go in through arrivals, no one will suspect it."

Everyone nodded in agreement and I dried my tears.  The van pulled away and to the arrivals area.  Shawn, Andrew, Josiah, Vivian, and I snuck out of the car.

This portion of the airport was definitely more quiet.  There was only about 20 people here at most.  We were able to make it all the way to security before fans and paparazzi noticed us, but it was too late.

I heard voices calling from behind me, but everything was inaudible.  Everybody got through security relatively quickly and was seated at the departure gate in half an hour.

The events of the day rolled around in my head while I sat.  Doubt ket creeping into my mind.  What if Shawn is suspicious?  I need some good excuses and a distraction or two.

Boarding didn't start for another 20 minutes so I stood up and faced Shawn.  "Wanna go walking around for a bit?"

"Sounds good to me!"  He laced his fingers with mine.

We took off in the direction of food.  Just two hungry teenagers in a foreign country, totally normal.  Being pregnant, everything sounded tasty.  I stopped at a place that sold tamales and bought 4.

"Hungry much?"  Shawn raised his eyebrow and chuckled.

"Actually yeah, I am."  I nodded and lightly punched his arm.

Suddenly Shawn's phone rang, "What's up?... okay sure... yeah, we'll be right there."

"Who was that?"

"Brian.  He wants to talk about something and apparently couldn't say it over the phone."

We made our way back to our gate and met up with Brian.  He had a concerned look on his face and was pacing nervously around.

"What's up man?"  Shawn patted his shoulder.

"Thanks for coming back so quickly you two," he let out a deep sigh.  "I have some great news and some horrible news."

"Just get on with it." Shawn sounded exasperated.

"I just got off the phone with Dora.  Good news is that he is coming to the next show... bad news is that Faye is as well.  I guess she got a hold of some platinum V.I.P. passes for her and Vanessa."

On the one hand, I was ecstatic that Teddy was coming, I missed him a ton.  I feel like if I wasn't dating Shawn I would end up with him.  And on the other hand, Faye just killed the whole mood.

I was going to have to hang on to Shawn tightly throughout her whole trip.  I wonder how long she's going to stay in Milan.  I guess the good thing is that her being here will distract Shawn from any potential pregnancy spills.  Oh god, I hope she didn't see my post.

I chewed on my bottom lip, "Did he say when they're flying in?"

"They are boarding their layover as we speak," Brian replied.

"They're flying together?  Poor Teddy," Shawn sighed.

"Apparently they're also staying in the same hotel as us," Brian added.

"Holy crap."  Shawn looked like he wanted to hit something.  "I'm totally thrilled about Teddy.  But Faye... does it sound bad if I say I want to push her off a cliff?"

I snorted and doubled over laughing, "I'm glad I'm not the only one."

The three of us were now laughing uncontrollably.  "Evidently there will be a line," Brian smirked, "And trust me, Teddy will be right behind us."

The mic crackled to attention and a voice called out that first class boarding was about to start.  Our huge troop gathered their stuff and lined up at the front.

We were able to board and get settled within 15 minutes of our boarding passes being scanned.  Luckily our flight wasn't extremely long either, so this was actually going to be an enjoyable time.

Brian told me and Shawn that we and Teddy and Faye's plane had the same arrival time.  That was going to be very awkward.  Not with Teddy obviously.  I missed him so much.  He took me home the night we played truth or dare and didn't let me leave his car until I was happy and laughing again.

I must have taken a cat nap because next thing I know, Shawn's kissing my cheek trying to wake me up. I looked up at him and smiled, this boy is the definition of perfection. If you looked up 'Perfection' the description would say 'noun-Shawn Mendes'.

I heaved in a big breath and shook the sleepiness out of my eyes. Shawn slung my pink and purple flowered backpack over his shoulder along with his black one.

I stood up with him and we wrapped our arms around each other's waist. I hoped he wasn't on social media while I was sleeping. Evidently I was wrong. As we were climbing down the stairs off the plane, he asked me the question I was dreading to hear.

"So I was on Instagram, and I have all these DMs from fans asking if you're pregnant. I obviously said no. But what are they talking about?"

My face must have turned as white as a ghost. "I have no idea. I think someone took the photo you took yesterday and edited it. I know some people do that for clickbait or to start rumors."

I hope he believed me. I didn't want him finding out he was going to be a father via social media.

"Ah I see. I hate when people do that, just leave others alone. We're normal like everyone else."

I nodded, I think he bought my excuse. Now all I need is a distraction from all his plugs to the internet. I'm pretty sure Teddy and Faye will be able to provide that.

It was the blonde, curly mop of hair that caught my eye first.  Then it was the teenager charging towards me, Shawn, and Brian.

"GUYS!!!!  OH MY GOD I MISSED YOU!!!"  Teddy was practically screaming.

The three of us ran towards him and we all embraced in a group hug.  This was great, I missed this more than I realized.

Then little miss party pooper had to butt her head in.  "Wow, shocker to see you guys here."

She turned to Shawn and smiled in the fakest way possible, "How have you been honey?"

"Fantastic until you walked over," he replied.

"Well we'll have to change that," she batted her eyelashes.

Wait....... is she FLIRTING with him???  Uh uh sister, I will beat you to a pulp.

"Faye!"  I feigned courtesy, "I never expected you to travel from your little palace of sticking your head up your butt.  But it's good to see that you finally dug yourself out."

Shawn, Brian, and Teddy all simultaneously coughed in order to hide their laughter.

"It's good to see you too Lily."  She replied sarcastically and then suddenly came up close to my ear.  "And congrats on the baby.  I'm sure Shawn must be thrilled."
