"Do you need anything else?" Bailey called after me.

"No, thank you. I've got everything I need." I was going prom dress shopping with Vivian today. Shawn and I agreed to keep our outfits a surprise for each other, otherwise we'd go shopping together.

"Okay, have fun!"

I slung my purse over my shoulder and stepped outside onto the porch to wait for Vivian. She arrived within a few minutes and we went on our way, jamming out to the radio.

The first stop on our journey was a dress shop near the mall. It had all kinds of dresses, wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, and just plain fancy dresses.

A young woman scurried up to us. She had bright pink hair that was pulled up into a fishtail bun and a shiny gold ring dangled from her septum. Her name tag read 'Crystal'. She seemed a few years older than I am.

"How can I help you? What are we looking for today? My name is Crystal!" She must have been on 50 energy drinks or something.

"Hi, I'm looking for a prom dress." I smiled at her.

"Oh fantastic! Cutting it a little close? I think we have a few more. The season is starting soon so a lot of our stock is sold out." She explained and led us deeper into the maze of fabrics.

There were rows upon rows of dresses that were arranged by color and size. Crystal stopped in front of a bunch of navy blue dresses. "These are your color, as well as lavender, burgundy, black, and any darker shade. If you don't care about matching based on your looks, you can wear anything."

I scanned the room and my eye caught sight of a mermaid style burgundy dress. "That one looks pretty."

The three of us walked over to it and Crystal pulled it from the rack. "This is one of our most popular styles this season. However, I don't think it would work with your maternity bump. Some more loose fitting dressed would be more flattering. With all due respect."

"No I totally get you. It's all good."

"How about this one?" She motioned towards a dark purple, flowy dress that transitioned into a royal blue.

"That's gorgeous!" I exclaimed and clapped my hands.

"I'm gonna give you a size that's too large for you, that way your bump will be able to even everything out. If it's too long I can always have it adjusted."

She handed me the dress and pointed in the direction of the fitting rooms. I quickly changed and came out to show my admirers. Crystal squealed and Vivian whistled.

"Shawn's going to have a hard time keeping his hands off if you."

"Shawn... Mendes?" Crystal asked.

"Yeah," I replied.

"Ohhhh you're Lily! I knew you looked familiar. My sisters and I are huge fans."

"How many sisters do you have?"

"Four, and no brothers."

"Wow, that's a lot."

"Mhmm," she nodded and started pinning a shorter hem onto the dress. "And congratulations on the baby girl!"

"Thank you." It had been a few days since the public announcement went out on Instagram and Twitter.

The media was having a field day with all this information. Even Bailey was getting emails from TMZ and Just Jared about interviews. I myself decline about an average of 25 emails a day. It's not like I didn't like the publicity, it's not the best but I deal with it. It's just that I was contractually obligated to not say anything and to let Shawn do all the talking. Gotta love management.

I didn't realize how little I was actually allowed to mention. On the street, I was to refuse all questions. There were certain interviews I was allowed to do, but only after Shawn's management had reviewed the questions.

My phone buzzed and Vivian handed it to me. It was a message from Shawn.

Shawn- I'm hanging out with Teddy and he's having a party tonight. Can I tell him you're coming?

Me- Sure! What time should I come over?

Shawn- 6:30

Me- Cool, love you ❤️

Shawn- Love you too baby

"Lemme guess, was it Shawn?" Crystal looked up from what she was doing.

"Bingo, we were making plans for tonight."

"You have such a cool life. I'd give a kidney to be in your place."

"It's not all it's cracked up to be though. Shawn's just an ordinary guy with an extraordinary job." I shrugged, "Granted, I'd never thought that one day I'd be having a baby with the guy who's picture hung on my wall."

"It's like a crazy fanfic coming true."

"Exactly." I'd read more about Shawn than I'd like to admit.

I turned to look in the full length mirror and smiled at my reflection. Not gonna lie, I looked pretty good. I'm glad I listened to Crystal on the shape and color of the dress. It kind of gave me Padmé Amidala multicolored Naboo dress vibes.

"I look like a princess."

"Yes you do," Vivian agreed.

"I don't need to try on any more. I'll take this one."

Crystal nodded, "Awesome, let me take your measurements and then we can get this dress off."

She proceeded to wrap a tape measure around various parts of my body. Once she was done, I carefully waltzed back to the dressing room and changed back into my clothes.

Crystal and Vivian were chatting by the cash register when I met up with them.

"All set!" I smiled.

"Fantastic! Let me ring you up." Crystal began typing on the keyboard. "I can give you a call once we've finished tailoring your dress."

"Thank you, that will be awesome."

"Is there a number that's best for you?"

I gave her my phone number and she finished everything up. Vivian and I said goodbye after I took a selfie with Crystal. We made our way back to the car and cranked up the radio again.

Vivian drove me back in the direction of my house while stopping for some ice cream on the way. I was having another one of my cravings and she was nice enough to buy me a double scoop of moose tracks.

She dropped me off back home and I thanked her for the trip and the snack. We'd agreed to hang out more often, there was less than a month left before starting the North American leg of the tour and we'd barely done anything.

Teddy's party was in two hours. I had enough time to shower and get ready before it was time to leave. He lived about 20 minutes away from me so I had to account for a little more time.

I jumped into the bathtub and let the warm water from the shower head run across my body. This felt nice, I hadn't showered since yesterday morning.

I quickly washed myself and stepped out, only to be greeted by Bailey. "What are you doing?!"

"Can I borrow your leather pencil skirt? You won't be able to wear it for a while anyways cause you're pregnant." She said between chewing her gum.

"Sure, it's in my closet."

She walked out and left me in peace. I loved her to death, but sometimes she got on my nerves. The girl had no sense of shame.

I dried off and slipped on my black overalls and white and blue checkered shirt. Not much of a crowd pleaser, but it's not like I can wear my skinny jeans while being pregnant. I mean I can, I'd just have to get the low rise and in a larger size.

I checked the time and noticed it was 5:45. About 5 minutes before I had to leave. I might as well leave now, 5 minutes won't make a huge difference. I kissed my mom goodbye and told her I'd be back sometime later, or else I'd be sleeping over at Shawn's.

My keys jingled as I slid them into the ignition of my car. I made the drive to Teddy's house in a little over 20 minutes due to some traffic. There were lots of cars parked all along the street already.

I found a spot near the corner and walked down the row of houses before walking up his driveway. Teddy lived in the high end part of town. His mom and her boyfriend were both lawyers so they could afford a nice house.

People were going in and out of the house with red Solo cups in their hand. Teddy probably cracked into his mom's stash of Friday night alcohol. I spotted Shawn standing with him and walked over.

"Hey baby!" Shawn hugged me.

"How are you?"

"Since I texted you, pretty good."

And the 'pretty good' disappeared as soon as it was spoken. Vanessa walked in with two guys on her arm, followed by Faye who was leaning against a boy who I'd never seen before.
