Shawn's point of view

Tomorrow night my wife, Y/n Mendes, and I, are going to an award show. It will be the first award show that either of us has been to since our six month old daughter, Rose Lucille Mendes, was born. Y/n isn't a celebrity, she's just a normal person, but when I asked her if she would like to come with me to this award show, she said yes. As I was packing my suitcase, Y/n was in Rose's room, her nursery, changing her diaper. Soon, Y/n walked back into our bedroom, but she was holding Rose this time. I smiled when I saw my two favorite girls.

"Hello there, my sweets." I said as I gently took Rose out of my wife's arms and held her in mine. Rose smiled at me, causing my smile to widen.

"Should she keep us company as we pack?" Y/n asked. I nodded and set Rose down on the bed. I decided to talk to my daughter as my wife and I packed.

"Rosie girl, Mommy and Daddy have to go away for an award show, but Meimei, your mom's mom, is going to watch you, okay? We're going to miss you a lot." I asked and said. Rose just stared at me. I turned to Y/n and gave her a sad face. "I don't want to leave her."

"I know baby, but she'll be in good hands with my mom, and plus it's not like we're leaving her forever. We'll be back." Y/n said as she held my face in her hands. I nodded and then leaned my forehead against Y/n's, causing my wife to hum. She started to run her fingers through my hair, she knows how much it soothes me. I closed my eyes and sighed.

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too. Let's finish packing honey." Y/n said. I nodded and that's exactly what we did. The next day, we were on a plane and on our way to Los Angeles for the award show. We soon landed and got to our hotel. Y/n and I plopped ourselves down on the bed in the hotel room and looked at each other. I sat further up on the bed and pulled Y/n over so her back was against my chest.

"I miss Rose." I said. Y/n reached back and ran her fingers through my hair again.

"I know baby, I do too. But we're going to have fun, I promise. Plus, you're up for some awards." Y/n said. I nodded and then frowned before I buried my face into my wife's neck.

"What if I don't win the award? Will I be letting Rose down?" I asked. I heard Y/n gasp and I picked up my head.

"No, of course not Shawn. First of all, she's too young to even realize what's going on, and second of all, she loves you. You could never let her down, just like you could never let me down, because I know that you're worried about that too even though you're not saying it." Y/n said, practically reading my mind. I sighed and nodded.

"You guys are just so beyond important to me and I just want to make you two proud." I said. Y/n leaned further back against my chest.

"Oh honey, you make us so proud every single day. Not just with your singing career, which is amazing by the way, but also with how amazing a husband and father you are. Rosie and I are so proud of you, my love. So don't worry about that, okay?" Y/n asked. I nodded my head against her shoulder before placing a few gentle kisses on her neck, causing her to smile.

"Marrying you was the best decision I ever made." I said. Y/n turned her body so she was facing me now and she sat on my lap. She had a big smile on her face.

"Oh yeah?" She asked. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. Come here Mrs. Mendes, come give me a kiss." I said before puckering my lips up. Y/n giggled before putting her lips on mine. Our lips moved in sync as I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my stomach, I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, and I felt sparks shoot through my body like fireworks. Y/n and I soon pulled away from each other, gasping for air after our rather passionate kiss.

"How long are we in town for? Three days?" Y/n asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Why?" I said and asked. Y/n smirked. Oh gosh.

"Well, you and I haven't really had many chances - more like any chances - to be intimate since Rose was born, and now, we're going to be all by ourselves." Y/n said as she continued to smirk. I smiled at her.

"Are you implying that we make love while on this trip?" I teased. Y/n bit her bottom lip and nodded.

"Yeah. I've missed you." She said. I brought my hand to her face and rubbed her cheek with my thumb. She closed her eyes and leaned into my touch.

"I've missed you too. I think that the people who are going to help us get ready are going to be here soon." I said. Y/n opened her eyes and nodded. Y/n got off my lap and we cuddled for a little bit before people came in and helped us to get ready. Soon, I was dressed in a suit and tie, and Y/n was dressed in a red flowy dress. I smiled when I saw her.

"How do I look?" Y/n asked. I pulled her in for a hug.

"You look amazing my love, but then again, you always do." I said. Y/n blushed.

"Okay guys, let's get going." Andrew called out. I held my hand out for Y/n to take, and when our hands touched, I felt sparks shoot through me, yet I felt safe and warm at the same time. Y/n and I soon got in the car and were on our way to the venue. My bodyguard, Jake, started to speak.

"So how's Rose?" He asked. Y/n and I looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh she's wonderful. She's crawling a bit, but she's not talking yet. She likes to play this game with Shawn where she'll start to crawl away from him while she looks at him and then she laughs this beautiful laugh when he pulls her back over to him." Y/n said. I smiled and nodded.

"That's so cute. Oh, we're here." Jake said. He stepped out first, followed by me. As soon as I stepped out, I turned around and offered my hand to my gorgeous wife so I could help her out. She smiled at me as she took my hand. Soon, Y/n and I were on the red carpet. Y/n and I have been together for about six years so she's kind of used to the red carpet.

"Y/n! Shawn! Over here!" The paparazzi yelled. I had my arm around Y/n's waist and she had one of her arms around my waist too. She then put her other hand on my stomach. I looked at her and whispered in her ear.

"You okay baby girl?" I asked. She looked up at me, smiled, and nodded.

"Yeah, just want to show off the beautiful wedding ring that you put on me." Y/n said, causing me to smile. I put my lips on hers, and we kissed. I didn't care about the fact that we were on the red carpet and that anyone and everyone was going to see me kissing her. I care about the fact that I love my wife and want to show her that when I feel that I need to. We pulled away and continued to walk down the red carpet, stopping every once in awhile to take more pictures. Soon, an interviewer stopped us and asked for an interview, and we said yes.

"Hi everyone, this is Julia Hoffman from E! News here with Y/n and Shawn Mendes. How are you guys?" Julia asked. Y/n and I smiled at each other.

"We're good, we're having a lot of fun." I said.

"So, Y/n, you recently gave birth to a beautiful little girl, Rose Mendes, how is she and how old is she now?" Julia asked. I could tell that Y/n was nervous so I squeezed her waist.

"Oh Rose is amazing. She's six months old now and she's starting to crawl." Y/n said with a smile.

"Now, do you think that Rose is at home watching this?" Julia asked. I chuckled a little.

"I hope so. Y/n's mom is watching her but we obviously don't want Rose staying up too late." I said. Julia nodded.

"Shawn, you've been in the singing business since you were fifteen. You are now in your twenties, married to a beautiful woman, and have a six month old baby at home. How do you feel about the way that your life has turned out?" Julia asked. My smile widened and Y/n blushed when Julia said that she's beautiful.

"It feels wonderful and amazing. I have a beautiful wife, I have an amazing daughter who seems to be a Daddy's girl. At times it's almost a bit surreal, you know? I love my life and everything that's going on in it right now." I said.

"That's great! So do you guys think that you'll have anymore babies?" Julia said and asked. Y/n and I looked at each other and nodded.

"Yeah. We want one or two more kids." Y/n said.

"Great! Well have fun tonight guys, and good luck Shawn!" Julia said. Y/n and I thanked her and soon got to our seats. The show soon started and my nomination came up.

"And the award for best male artist of the year goes to... SHAWN MENDES!" The person said. I looked at Y/n and smiled. I stood up and she stood up with me so she could give me a hug and kiss.

"Congratulations honey." She said. I thanked her and then went up on stage to accept the award as Y/n sat back down.

"Wow, um, there are so many people that I'd like to thank. First I want to say thank you to my whole team, Andrew, Ziggy, Teddy, everybody, you guys rock. I also want to say thank you to my fans. You guys have always been there for me and I love you guys. Thank you to my parents and Aaliyah, and last, but very far from least, thank you to my gorgeous and amazing wife, Y/n, and our daughter Rose, who's currently at home with her grandma. You two are my whole entire world and I love you guys more than words will ever be able to describe. I love you guys. Thank you." I said, and walked off stage. When I got back to my seat, Y/n was beaming at me with pride.

"Thank you for thanking Rose and I in your acceptance speech." Y/n said. I kissed her forehead.

"Of course. Like I said, you two are my world." I said. Y/n continued to smile at me. She then leaned over and whispered in my ear.

"Since you won that award, how about we have our own celebration tonight, in our hotel room?" Y/n asked and I could tell that she was smirking. I chuckled and nodded.

"I would love that. Gosh, now I really want this to be over so we can go back to the hotel and celebrate." I said to my gorgeous wife with a wink. She blushed and giggled as she held my hand again. After what felt like was forever, but actually wasn't that long, the show came to an end, and Y/n and I went back to our hotel room to have our own celebration. The next morning, I woke up to Y/n kissing my shirtless chest. I looked down at her, smiled, and rubbed her arm. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Good morning handsome." Y/n said. I kissed her forehead.

"Good morning gorgeous. Last night was amazing." I said. Y/n nodded her head as she moved her body so she was laying on her stomach but on me a little and her chin rested on my chest.

"It was. I'm glad that you thought to pack condoms." Y/n said, causing me to chuckle.

"Hey baby?" I asked Y/n. She kissed my chest again before looking at me.

"Yes love?" She asked.

"Are you up to doing more of it now?" I asked. Y/n smiled and nodded. Since last night was the first time in a long time that we had been intimate, we spent most of the day in our hotel bed, making love. Afterwards, when we were cuddled up to each other, there was knock at the door. I got out of bed and got dressed, and so did Y/n. When I opened the door, it was my manager, Andrew.

"Hey, what took you so long to answer the door?" Andrew asked with a puzzled look. I blushed as I thought about what Y/n and I had just been doing a little bit ago.

"I had to get dressed. What's up?" I asked.

"You have your interview with James Corden in a few hours and I just want to make sure that you're ready, or at least going to be ready soon. Is Y/n coming with us? She can sit in the audience if she wants." Andrew asked and said. I thought for a moment before walking back into my hotel room, Andrew following me in.

"Babe? Are you coming with us to the interview on The Late Late Show?" I asked Y/n as I saw her sitting on the bed. She thought for a moment.

"Would I sit backstage in your dressing room and watch it on the tv in there?" She asked. Andrew and I shook our heads.

"No, you would be watching your husband from the audience - but only if you want." Andrew said. Y/n thought for a moment before smiling and nodding.

"Okay. I'll sit in the audience." She said, causing me to smile.

"Okay. Be ready in an hour and a half." Andrew said before leaving.

"Oh Shawn, what am I going to wear?" Y/n asked as she got out of the bed and went over to the suitcase. I helped her pick out an outfit. It was a white dress with black polka dots. She did her makeup and hair, and when she stepped out of the bathroom, my jaw dropped.

"Oh the hell did I get so lucky?" I asked, causing my wife to throw her head back with laughter as she blushed.

"I ask myself that about you all of the time." Y/n said, causing me to smile. I wrapped my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my shoulders as I swayed her from side to side.

"Baby?" I asked.

"Yes Shawny?" She asked.

"I miss Rose." I said. We had called my mother-in-law earlier, and she said that Rose was doing fine. Y/n's mom had recorded the award show so Rose could watch it this morning, and when she saw me, she started to make grabby hands at the tv. Y/n pulled away a little but kept her hands on the side of my face.

"I know honey. I miss her too. But it sounds like she's having a good time with my mom." Y/n said. I nodded, knowing that my wife was right. Soon, it was time to leave, and I was soon introduced by James to sit on the couch. Y/n sat in the audience, smiling at me.

"So, Shawn, you recently became a father. What has been the best part of fatherhood so far?" James asked me. I smiled and thought for a moment.

"Probably just all of the time that I get to spend with her. Like, I'll just sit on the floor with Rose and play with her and it's a lot of fun." I said. James asked a few more questions before he started to smirk. Oh God.

"Now, Shawn, is it hard to be intimate with your wife when there's a baby in the house?" James asked. I put my head in my hands.

"Oh God." I said. I looked out at Y/n, whose hand was covering her mouth in shock.

"Come on Shawn, don't be shy." James said. I sighed.

"Yes it is a bit hard." I said, and I knew that my face was bright red.

"So when do you find time to be intimate with your wife?" James asked. I shook my head in disbelief before answering.

"Well, we actually haven't really been able to do it, so this trip has been nice in the sense that we have been able to be intimate." I said.

"Oh! So when was the last time Shawn?" James asked. I shook my head.

"Come on, man." I said. James persisted.

"Come on Shawn." He said. I sighed.

"Today. Earlier today." I said. The crowd cheered. I looked out at the crowd and noticed that Y/n looked mortified and I instantly felt bad. The interview was soon over with and Y/n and I were backstage again. I asked my team if they could give Y/n and I a moment alone, and they did. Before I could even say anything, Y/n began to speak.

"Shawn, how could you? Now everybody that watches the show is going to know about our sex life!" Y/n practically yelled.

"I know, I'm sorry honey. He was just so persistent and it's James, he's a good friend, I felt like I had to answer." I said.

"I don't care if he's a good friend or not! I don't want people knowing about our sex life! You could have just told him that you really didn't want to answer or something." Y/n pointed out.

"Okay, that's true. I'm sorry baby. I didn't even know that he was going to ask those questions." I said. Y/n thought for a moment before nodding.

"Okay. I forgive you." She said.

"Thank you." I said. She nodded and we hugged. There was a knock at the door, and when I opened it, it was James.

"Hi guys, I just wanted to apologize. I probably shouldn't have asked those questions about your sex life, especially considering the fact that your little girl could see that one day." James said. We nodded.

"It's okay. At least people will have something to talk about in the media now, right?" I asked. James nodded before looking at Y/n.

"Are you upset with me Y/n? I completely understand if you are." James asked and said. Y/n thought for a moment before shaking her head.

"No. I just feel like maybe Shawn should've said that he didn't want to answer that question, but him and I just talked about this, so it's okay." Y/n said. James nodded.

"Okay. Well, I'll leave you two alone. Say hi to little Rose for me!" James said.

"We will!" I said, and then James left. Y/n and I soon went back to our hotel, and the next day we went home.

"Rose, look who it is!" My mother-in-law said. I immediately took my daughter from her arms and hugged her.

"Oh my gosh I missed my little girl so much." I said. Y/n hugged her mom and then rubbed my back.

"Well she missed you. There were a couple of times that the only way that I could get her to calm down was by playing your music for her." Y/m/n said. I nodded as I looked at my daughter.

"Thank you for watching her mom." Y/n said. Her mom smiled and nodded.

"Oh it was no problem, I loved it. So, um, I watched The Late Late Show the other night when you were on it Shawn." Y/m/n said. I looked at her and my eyes widened. I then looked at my wife, whose face was bright red.

"You did?" I asked. Y/m/n nodded.

"Yes, and listen, whenever you guys want some time together, just drop Rose off at my house. I don't mind." She said. Y/n and I blushed and nodded.

"Okay. Thank you." I said. My mother-in-law nodded and soon left. Y/n and I sat down on the couch with Rose.

"I had fun on the trip but I'm glad to be back with our precious little girl." Y/n said. I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, same here. She seems tired. Why don't we all go lay down for a nap?" I asked. Y/n nodded, and that's exactly what we did. I'm so glad that Y/n and I had a nice trip, but I'm also so glad to be home.
