Recently my daughter Rose Lucille Mendes got very upset when I told her that her father, my husband, the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes, wouldn't be home for another month and a half. When we FaceTimed Shawn, she told him that she hated him, but they eventually made up and everything was better again.

Today is the day that my husband comes home from tour after being away for a long time. The kids are extremely excited, and so am I. I've missed my husband so much and I just want to hug him and kiss him and cuddle with him. I dressed Rose up in a youth hoodie and gray leggings. Jake also wore a youth hoodie but with black pants - just like his father, which isn't bad. I decided that I would match with the kids, so I wore black leggings, a blue long sleeve, and a youth hoodie. The kids and I impatiently waited for Shawn to come home, and soon the door swung open. Shawn dropped his luggage, squatted down, and opened up his arms for his precious children to run into.

"DADDY!" Rose yelled.

"Come here sweet pea. Come here Jakey boy." Shawn said as the ran over to him. I stood up and watched in awe of this man who used to be so afraid to hold a child, yet now he has a five year old and a three year old. Shawn picked them up and held one on each hip. Once they got comfortable, he looked at me and his smiled widened. I walked over to him.

"Welcome home Mr. Mendes." I said with a smile.

"Thank you Mrs. Mendes. It feels good to be home, especially now that I can be with my sweets." Shawn said looking at his kids who are also his pride and joy. He likes to refer to Jake, Rose, and I as his sweets, which I think is really cute.

"Daddy are you going to play with me now?" Rose asked as Shawn set her and Jake down.

"Daddy's pretty tired from the long plane ride, so I'm going to take a nap. Why don't you and Jake take a nap in your beds and Mommy and I will nap in our bed?" Shawn asked. Jake and Rose nodded and went upstairs and into their rooms. Shawn walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his strong shoulders. I let my fingers wander up to his hair, he rested his head on my shoulder.

"I missed you." I said. Shawn pulled away so he could see me but kept his arms wrapped around me and rested his forehead against mine.

"I missed you too my love." Shawn said.

"Let's go nap and cuddle." I said. Shawn nodded and held my hand as we walked up the stairs. As our hands touched, I felt sparks shoot through me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time. Shawn and I soon got into bed and I put my head on his chest and closed my eyes.

"Y/n?" Shawn asked.

"Hm?" I responded as I tilted my head up to look at him.

"I never got a kiss." Shawn said with a smirk.

"Well maybe we should fix that." I said. Shawn nodded. I propped myself up on my elbows and as soon as our lips met, 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 tummy. Shawn and I didn't stop kissing until it felt like we couldn't possibly kiss anymore. We pulled away, breathless from our amazingly loving and passionate kiss.

"God I've missed your lips." Shawn said. I giggled quietly.

"Well Shawny, I've missed your lips too." I said as Shawn and I laid back down but this time I let my head rest on the pillow.

"Why aren't you putting your head on my chest honey?" Shawn asked me with a look of confusion etched across his face.

"Is it a crime to want to admire my amazing husband's gorgeously handsome face?" I asked with a smirk. Shawn laughed and wrapped his arm around so he could pull me closer to him.

"Nope, it's not a crime at all. Do you think that it would be a crime if I wanted to admire my amazing wife's gorgeously beautiful face?" Shawn asked, causing me to blush, which caused him to laugh. I buried my face in his chest.

"Stopppp. I'm not even that pretty." I said. Shawn pulled away a little and held my face in his hands.

"Baby, what are talking about?" Shawn asked. I shrugged.

"I don't know. I just don't feel like I'm pretty unless I'm wearing makeup." I said. Shawn pulled me close to him.

"Oh honey, you don't need that junk on your gorgeous face to look pretty. You're already the prettiest, most beautiful, most gorgeous girl ever. Please don't ever doubt that my love." Shawn said. I nodded my head against his chest.

"I love you Mr. Mendes." I said, looking up at Shawn. He smiled down at me.

"I love you too Mrs. Mendes." Shawn said. I smiled at my name.

"We've been married for six years and being called your wife or Mrs. Mendes will never get old." I said, causing Shawn to chuckle lightly.

"Well I love calling you Mrs. Mendes and referring to you as my wife, because guess what?" Shawn asked.

"What?" I asked.

"That's what you are." He said. I smiled at him and kissed him again. The kiss quickly became heated but then we heard little feet padding down the hall. Shawn and I immediately pulled away. Shawn leaned over to whisper in my ear. "This isn't over."

"Mumma? Daddy?" Rose asked. Shawn and I sat up.

"What's up sweet pea?" Shawn asked as she walked around to his side of the bed so he could pick her up, which he gladly did, and put her on his lap.

"I missed my Daddy." She said as she sat closer to him so she could wrap her arms around him and hug him.

"I missed you too, my sweet princess. Daddy's going to try and nap some more, do you want to lay with Mommy and I?" Shawn asked her. Her whole face lit up and she nodded.

"Yeah!" She practically yelled. Shawn and I put our fingers to our lips.

"Shhh, you're brother's sleeping." Shawn said.

"No he's not." Jake said as he walked in. I picked him up and put him on the bed with us.

"Should we all nap together as a family?" I asked Shawn. He smiled and nodded.

"I would love that." Shawn said. Shawn and I put Jake in the middle of us, Rose closer to him, facing him, and Jake laying next to me. Suddenly, Rose spoke up.

"Daddy?" She asked.

"Yes princess?" He asked.

"Did you see that we're all matching?" She asked.

"No. You are?" He asked.

"Yup. We're all wearing our youth hoodies." She said. Shawn looked at me and I nodded.

"That's great! I'll look when I get up and then, if it's okay with you guys, I'll take a picture of you guys and then post it on Instagram. Is that okay?" Shawn asked. We all nodded.

"Yeah." Jake and Rose said at the same time. I smiled and nodded.

"All right then. Let's get some rest." Shawn said. We soon all fell asleep. When I woke up, I was alone. I went downstairs and heard giggling coming in the kitchen.

"I want a little sister Daddy." I heard Rose say. I stopped while walking down the stairs so I could listen.

"Yeah?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah." She said.

"What about you Jake? Do you want a little sister or brother?" Shawn asked.

"I want a little sister." I heard Jake say.

"Well, I'll talk to Mommy and see if maybe we can have another one." Shawn said. I resumed walking down the stairs and into the kitchen. Rose spotted me first.

"Hi Mommy." She said with a smile. I opened my arms up and when she came running into them, I picked her up. Shawn smiled at me.

"Hi honey. What are you guys doing?" I said and asked.

"Daddy's making us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches." Jake said. I gave Shawn an impressed look and nodded. He laughed.

"Do you guys know what Daddy and I used to do in the kitchen sometimes when we were dating and then when we were engaged?" I asked.

"What?" Jake and Rose asked. Shawn gave me a confused look, but I smiled at him.

"Whenever he would make me pancakes in the morning, he would pick me up and put me on the counter so we could talk while he made our breakfast. We called them our countertalks." I said. Shawn smiled at me.

"Really?" Jake asked. Shawn and I nodded.

"Yup. Hey my Rosie girl, can you take your brother into the living room please?" Shawn asked.

"Yeah." She said. I set her down and they went into the other room. Shawn lifted me up and put me on the counter.

"We haven't had our countertalks in a while." Shawn said as he went back to make a few sandwiches.

"Yeah. I've missed them." I said. He nodded.

"Yeah me too. But now that I'm home we can have them more often." Shawn pointed out. I smiled and nodded.

"I would like that." I said. Shawn kissed my cheek. There was a pause in the conversation.

"Hey Mrs. Mendes?" Shawn asked. He seemed nervous.

"Yes Mr. Mendes?" I asked.

"What do you think about us having another baby? The kids want a little sister." Shawn asked and said. I thought for a moment before nodding.

"Yeah. Let's do it." I said with a smile. Shawn practically dropped the knife and looked at me with wide eyes.

"Really?" He asked. I giggled and nodded.

"Really." I said. Shawn then picked me up off the counter and began to spin me around, causing me to squeal and laugh. He then put me back on the counter and continued to smile as he made the sandwiches.

"Oh, don't you want a sandwich honey?" Shawn asked. I shook my head.

"No, I'm good for now. Thank you though." I said.

"You're welcome Y/n." Shawn said. Right as he was about to call the kids over, I put my hand on his bicep and he looked at me.

"Before we have the kids come over, I just want to say that you're an amazing man, you're an amazing father, and you're an amazing husband." I said with a smile. Shawn smiled back at me and walked over so he was in between my legs. I let my fingers wander to the back of his head so I could tangle my fingers in his hair and I pulled him in for a kiss. I got all of those same magical feelings that I get every damn time we kiss, the sparks, the heart racing, the butterflies, everything.

"Daddy?" We heard Rose ask. Shawn and I pulled away from each other and looked at our first born.

"Yes honey?" He asked.

"I'm hungry and so is Jakey." Rose said.

"Okay. Well, go tell Jakey boy that lunch is ready." Shawn said.

"Okay." She said. As Rose walked away, Shawn turned back to me.

"This isn't over. How about tomorrow night the kids sleep over your mom's house?" Shawn asked with a smirk. I bit my lip and nodded. "Oh God don't bite your lip, you know it drives me crazy." Shawn said, making me giggle. I called my mom that night.

"Hey sweetie, how are you?" She asked.

"Good. Shawn's home, so the kids and I are really happy. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm good. I know that the kids missed him so I'm sure they were ecstatic to see him." She said.

"Yeah. They went running into his arms and then they napped with us." I said.

"Oh that's so sweet. You guys are such amazing parents." She said. I smiled.

"Thank you mom. I have a favor to ask." I said.

"Sure, what is it?" She asked.

"Well, um, Shawn and I haven't been, you know, um, intimate in a while because he's been away, so could the kids sleep over your house tomorrow night please?" I asked nervously.

"Sure. Honey, I'm your mother, you can always talk to me about this stuff, don't be nervous." She said.

"Okay, thank you. And, don't tell anyone this, but we want to have another baby." I said.

"Really?" She asked.

"Yeah." I said.

"Oh my gosh, that's great. I would love to have another grandchild! Have the kids spend as many nights here as you guys want since you're going to try to have another baby." She said. I laughed.

"Okay mom. Well, thank you. So I'll drop the kids off at six o'clock tomorrow night?" I asked.

"That sounds good to me. See you then." She said. We said goodbye and hung up. I went downstairs and found Shawn sitting on the couch, watching a random little kids tv show with one of his kids on each side of him. I smiled, and when he saw me, he smiled back.

"Hey guys, do you mind if I steal Daddy for a minute?" I asked. They shook their heads and Shawn and I walked into the other room.

"What's up my love?" He asked. I put my hands on his chest and let them roam around, eventually getting up to his shoulders.

"My mom said that she'll take the kids tomorrow night. We'll drop them off at six." I said. Shawn smiled.

"Good. I've missed you and your gorgeous body." Shawn said. I blushed.

"Um, so, since we're going to try and have another baby... no condom?" I asked. Shawn shook his head.

"No condom. Now come on, let's get back to the kids." Shawn said. I sat down and put Jake on my lap as Shawn put Rose on his lap. The next night, Shawn and I dropped the kids off at my mom's house and went back home and, well, you know. The next morning, Shawn and I woke up in each other's arms.

"Good morning handsome." I said as I looked at him. He smiled at me.

"Good morning gorgeous. Last night was amazing." He said. I giggled, blushed, and smiled.

"Yeah. We don't have to pick the kids up until noon. Want to do more?" I asked. He nodded. Later on, after we picked up the kids, Shawn had a tea party with Rose. I took a picture and sent it to Shawn. Afterwards, Shawn and I took Jake and Rose out for a walk at a big park. The kids seemed to really enjoy their time with their father. Shawn knew that he should spend alone time with each of our kids, so he decided to take Rose out for dinner.

Shawn's point of view

Tonight, I'm taking my little Rosie girl out to dinner while my wife, Y/n, stays home with our son Jake. I gave Rose a bath and then her dried her long hair with a blow dryer. I set the heating setting to warm instead of hot so she wouldn't be uncomfortable.

"Daddy what am I going to wear?" She asked as she stood in front of her clothes and put her hands on her hips.

"Oh my gosh, you're just like your mother. Well, how about something pink?" I said and asked. She nodded and I picked out a light pink shirt and black leggings.

"How do I look Daddy?" She asked me as she twirled. I smiled.

"You look beautiful honey. You always do. Come on, let's go to dinner." I said as I held her hand and guided her down the stairs.

"Look at you Rose! You look so pretty!" My wife said.

"Thank you Mommy." She said. I walked over to my wife and gave her a quick kiss.

"We'll be back. I love you honey." I said. She smiled.

"Okay. I love you too." She said. Rose and I soon headed out to a local restaurant. It wasn't too fancy, but it was perfect.

"What do you want to eat princess?" I asked.

"Can I have the grilled cheese please?" She asked. I nodded.

"Sure. I think that I'll get that too." I said. She smiled and we had a really nice dinner. The next day, Jake and I went for a walk around the big park that we love. Some fans wanted a picture, other fans just said hi and told me that Y/n and I have a beautiful family. I thanked them and soon went home

One month later

Your point of view

I missed my period this month and I've been having morning sickness. I'm really starting wonder if I'm pregnant.

"Here you go baby girl." Shawn said as he handed me some pregnancy tests.

"How did you know that I was wondering about it?" I asked. He kissed my forehead and smiled.

"Because I know you and you've been getting morning sickness. I'll be waiting right out here, you take the tests honey." Shawn said. I did as told, and when I finished peeing on the sticks, I walked out to see my amazing husband, the father of my children, sitting on our bed.

"I'm nervous." I said as I walked over to him. A look of concern washed over his face as he stood up and took my hands in his and rubbed the tops of them with his thumbs.

"Why honey?" Shawn asked.

"Well, we really want this baby, and what if we're not pregnant?" I asked.

"Oh honey, then we just keep trying. We'll get it eventually." Shawn said. I smiled and nodded. We sat on the bed and waited for the timer to beep. When it did, I had Shawn come into the bathroom with me to look at the tests. They were all positive.

"Shawn, we're going to parents again." I said as tears formed in my eyes. Shawn pulled me in for a gentle hug.

"Thank you so much honey." He said. I pulled away a little.

"Why are you thanking me?" I asked.

"Because you're giving me another little one." Shawn said, tears in his eyes. I pulled him in for another hug. Shawn and I continued to spend time with our kids, and nine months later, Sarah Grace Mendes was born. I'm so happy and lucky to have Shawn as my husband and the father of my children.
