129. Pregnancy Hormones
About two months ago, my husband Shawn Mendes and I found out that we had become pregnant. This caused us to be ecstatic. Today, we have a doctors appointment to see if we're going to have a boy, or a girl. Shawn and I are both really hoping that it's a girl. Shawn soon came into the bedroom and smiled at me.
"You almost ready to go darling?" He asked. I nodded and stood up.
"Yes but can I have a hug first before we leave?" I asked. Shawn nodded.
"Of course you can have a hug baby. Come here." He said as he opened his arms for me to come into. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and I wrapped my arms around his torso. He rubbed my back a little bit and I closed my eyes a little, liking the soothing feeling.
"I love you." I said. Shawn kissed the top of my head.
"I love you too. We should get going." Shawn said. I nodded and we interlaced fingers. As our skin touched, I felt electricity spark through me yet I felt safe and warm all at the same time. We soon got in the car and Shawn started to drive away and towards the doctors office. I suddenly felt nervous as I held one of Shawn's hands as he drove. Shawn could sense this, and he squeezed my hand.
"What's up my love?" I asked as I looked at my beyond handsome husband.
"What if the baby isn't healthy or something's wrong or something?" I asked as we pulled up to a red light. Shawn looked at me.
"Darling, everything will be okay, I promise." Shawn said and I nodded. He kissed my hand, and then the light turned green so we began driving again.
"Okay." I said. We soon arrived at the doctors office.
"We're here." He said. I nodded and we got out. I went up to the receptionist as Shawn stood behind me with his hand on my back.
"Y/n Mendes for Dr. Ackles." I said. She nodded and soon we were called in.
"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Mendes. Are you ready to find out the gender of your baby?" She said and asked. We nodded.
"Yes." We said. The doctor put the gel on me and spread the thing around.
"Well, it looks like you're having a girl. Congratulations!" She said. Shawn and I were looking at each other with tears in our eyes.
"Oh Shawn, you were right." I said. He chuckled and leaned forward to give me a kiss. I felt my heart race as if I had just ran a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks. We soon pulled away.
"I'll give you guys the sonogram pictures and then you're all set to go." Dr. Ackles said. We nodded and looked at each other as she left the room.
"Oh my gosh darling. Your bump just bumped you up to queen. Now I have a little princess." Shawn said and I giggled. We took the sonograms and left. My mom already knew that I was pregnant because I was with her when I found out. Shawn and I got in the car and held hands. I kept looking at the sonogram photos.
"We have to tell our families and then our friends and then we have to announce it to the world." I said. Would I get hate from Shawn's fans for being pregnant with his baby girl? Shawn squeezed my hand and I looked at him. Holy crap he's handsome.
"Why do you look nervous, my love?" He asked. I sighed.
"What if I get hate because I'm pregnant with your baby?" I asked as I looked straight ahead. Shawn suddenly pulled the car over and put on his hazards. I looked over at him.
"Honey, who cares what anyone else thinks? This is our baby and as long as we're happy, and our baby girl is born happy and healthy, then nothing else should matter." He asked and said. I nodded.
"Okay. Sorry." I said.
"It's okay darling. So are we heading to your mom's house so we can tell your family?" He asked. I nodded as he got back on the road.
"Yeah." I said. We soon arrived at the house that I grew up in and my parents and my brother were waiting inside.
"Hey, is everything okay?" My dad asked. We smiled and nodded. I looked over at my mom, who had a huge smile on her face since she already knew.
"Yes. So, a few months ago Shawn and I celebrated our one year wedding anniversary, and we had always known that we wanted to be married for a year before we started to try and make a baby. So, about a month later, I got suspicious and came over here. Mom bought me pregnancy tests, and, well, we're pregnant!" I said and my family cheered and hugged us.
"Do you guys know the gender yet?" Thomas, my brother, asked. We nodded. Shawn and I had already agreed to tell people the gender and not keep it a secret, it would just be too hard.
"Yes, we're going to be having a little baby girl." I said and my family cheered and hugged us again.
"I told my amazing wife, who I used to call my princess, that her bump got her bumped up to queen." Shawn said when we all sat back down. They laughed. I looked at Shawn as he put his hand on my belly so he could rub it.
"Are you ready for the pregnancy hormones?" I asked. He nodded.
"Hell yeah." He said.
"Are you ready for weird pregnancy cravings?" I asked. He nodded again.
"Bring it on." He said.
"Are you ready to be a dad?" I asked, even though I know that he is.
"Holy crap I'm going to be a dad." He said as he suddenly put his head in his hands. I rubbed his back.
"Honey, you're going to be a great dad. I promise." I said. He looked at me with wide eyes.
"What if I drop her or something?" He asked.
"Babe, you're not going to drop her. You're going to be a daddy, and you're going to be a great one. I know you, you're ready for this." I said. He nodded and pulled me in for a gentle hug. We soon went home so we could Facetime his family. Soon, Manny, Karen, and Aaliyah were on the screen.
"Hi guys. To what do we owe the pleasure?" Karen asked. I looked at Shawn, who smiled at me before looking back at his family.
"Well, Mum, Dad, what do you guys think of being called Grandma and Grandpa in about six months?" Shawn asked. Karen yelled with joy and her and Manny both started to cry a little.
"Y/n, you're pregnant?" Karen asked. I nodded.
"Yup." I said.
"And Aaliyah, what do you think of being called Aunt Aaliyah in six months?" Shawn asked.
"I would love it!" She said.
"Congratulations. Do you guys know the gender?" Manny asked. We nodded and I looked at Shawn, my best friend, my husband, the father to our child, my everything.
"Yup. We're going to have a little girl." Shawn said and I could hear the pride in his voice as he smiled. His family was very happy and then Shawn turned to me.
"I love you." I said.
"I love you too honey." He said. I then leaned on Shawn and turned to Shawn's phone.
"Shawn is going to be such a great Daddy. I mean, he's already so beyond loving, and I can't wait to see him holding our little girl." I said and Shawn kissed the top of my head. I looked up at him and smiled.
"You're going to be the most amazing Momma. Did you know that?" He asked. I smiled.
"You've been saying that to me ever since I told you that I'm pregnant." I said and Shawn nodded.
"So Y/n, how did you tell Shawn?" Karen asked.
"Well, I had asked my mom to buy the pregnancy tests and then I would pay her back - which she wouldn't let me - because I was worried that if I bought them and one of Shawn's fans saw me, and then what if rumors started and I ended up not being pregnant? But my mom bought them and I took them and they were all positive. So then I ordered some Harry Potter themed baby onesies and had them express shipped to the house because I knew that I couldn't keep the secret for long, and then I showed him a box, and in the box were the pregnancy tests and the onesies and he loved it." I said. They smiled.
"I was literally crying my eyes out, especially when I pulled out the onesie that says 'Daddy's Little Wizard' on it." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Yeah when you saw that one you put your head in your hands and started to really cry." I said. Shawn nodded and smiled at me.
"Well honey, you had just told me that you have my baby in your belly. I'm so happy honey, oh my gosh." Shawn said and we hugged. We talked to his family for a little bit longer before hanging up. We then called our friends and told them and they were all very happy for us. The next day, we would be announcing our pregnancy to the world.
I woke up in Shawn's arms and smiled at his handsome face. I couldn't wait to tell the world about the baby, but for right now, I would enjoy some quiet, sleepy time with my husband. I snuggled myself closer to him, and rubbed his back a little. I didn't mean to wake him up, but of course I accidentally did. He smiled at me right away.
"Good morning Mrs. Mendes." He said. I smiled.
"Good morning Mr. Mendes." I said. He kissed my forehead.
"Today we tell the world that we got a baby girl on the way." He said. I nodded.
"Yup. Can we do it now please? I just want the whole world to know." I asked and said. Shawn chuckled and nodded. He then posted a picture that I had taken of him the day that I told him that he's going to be a dad. In it, he was holding up a onesie that said "Future Hogwarts Student" on it, and of course Shawn was smiling in the picture. I read the caption.
"My wife and I are very proud and very happy to say that in six months, we will be welcoming a baby girl to our family! Y/n and I are over the moon with joy and happiness and can't wait to see our little princess. This picture was taken the day that I found out that I'm going to be a dad, two months ago. Baby girl Mendes, whose name will be kept a secret until her arrival, Mommy and Daddy already love you so much." Shawn wrote and I smiled at the photo and caption. I then posted a picture of the sonogram photos, and was even happier that in the top corner it said my name as "Mendes, Y/n" because I love being a Mendes.
"Shawn and I are so beyond happy to announce that we will be having a little girl in six months! Baby girl Mendes, Mommy and Daddy already love you so much and we can't wait to see you. You're already the light of mine and your father's lives." I wrote. Shawn smiled at me.
"Perfect caption babe." He said. I smiled at him.
"Thank you. I'm hungry." I said. Shawn stood up.
"Okay darling, what do you and our little princess want?" Shawn asked. I thought for a moment and then when I realized what I wanted, I started crying. Damn these pregnancy hormones.
"I don't want to say." I said. Shawn sat back down.
"Why honey? Why are you crying?" He asked as he began to wipe my tears away.
"It's the hormones." I said.
"Oh honey. Whatever you want to eat, I'll either make it or go out and get it." He said. I nodded.
"Can I have a bologna and cheese sandwich with mayonnaise and tomatoes please?" I asked. He nodded.
"Of course you can darling." He said and then went to make it.
"Thank you." I said, and soon I was happy again because I had food in my belly. A couple of months later, I woke up at two in the morning. I was five months pregnant by now and my hormones were all over the place. I craved a bologna and cheese with mayonnaise and tomatoes sandwich, so I went downstairs and made it. I sat down and ate half of it before Shawn came down looking tired.
"Hey there wifey. What are you and our baby doing up?" He asked as he sat down across from me.
"Well we got hungry so I made a sandwich." I said. He nodded and then began rubbing his face since he was so tired.
"What type of sandwich is it?" He asked.
"Bologna and cheese with mayonnaise and tomatoes." I said.
"Why have you been craving tomatoes so much? They're gross." He asked and said as he rubbed his face. I felt bad and began to cry. He picked his head up and looked at me with wide eyes.
"I'm sorry that I'm eating tomatoes. It's just what the baby wants. I'm sorry." I said. Shawn stood up and walked over to me. He began to wipe my tears away.
"It's okay honey, don't cry. I'm sorry honey, I shouldn't have said that. I just don't like tomatoes." He said. I continued to cry.
"I'm sorry. It's just what the baby wants to have." I said and Shawn nodded before leaning down to kiss my forehead.
"I know honey and I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that." He said. I looked at the sandwich and then pushed it away.
"I don't feel hungry anymore." I said.
"Oh honey, you don't mean that." He said. I nodded.
"Yes I do." I said, and I really did mean it. Shawn sighed, causing me to think that he was mad at me, so I started crying harder.
"Why are you crying harder?" Shawn asked.
"Because you're mad at me." I said.
"Baby look at me. Do I look mad?" He asked. I looked at him, and if anything he looked concerned. I shook my head.
"No." I said.
"Do I sound mad?" He asked in a calming voice. I shook my head.
"No. Well, you sighed." I said.
"Is that why you thought that I was mad at you?" He asked. I nodded.
"Yeah." I said.
"No darling, I'm not mad at all. I just feel bad for what I said." Shawn said. I shook my head as I slowly stopped crying.
"It's okay. Can we go back to bed now please?" I asked. Shawn smiled and nodded his head.
"Yeah. Honey, whatever you want to put in your body is your own decision, your own choice." He said, and even though I knew that he was referring to food, I thought of something else and started to cry again.
"But all I really want inside me is you." I said as I put my head in my hands. I felt Shawn's hand begin to rub my back.
"Oh darling, I can promise you that I'll be inside of you again eventually. We just have to wait a bit." He said. I looked at him.
"But I want you inside of me now." I said. He rubbed my cheek with his thumb and I could tell that he found this amusing.
"I know my love, but right now you're pregnant with our baby so we can't make love." He said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said, and he held my hand as we went up to bed. A couple of months later, when I was seven months pregnant, Shawn and I had been napping together, but when I woke up, he wasn't there. I heard his voice as I began going down the stairs.
"I don't know what to do about the pregnancy hormones Mum. I hate seeing her cry and it's killing me. I just don't know how much more I can take." Shawn said, and my heart broke as I held back a sob. I put my hand to my mouth and finished walking down the stairs and into our living room. Shawn's eyes widened when he saw me. "Why do you look like you're going to cry darling?" Shawn asked me.
"Are you leaving me?" I asked. His eyes widened even more. He turned back to his phone.
"Mum I'll call you back. Love you too. Bye." He said, and they hung up.
"Shawn be honest, are you leaving me?" I asked as I cried. Shawn shook his head as he walked over to me and put his hands on my waist. I put my hands on his shoulders.
"No way am I ever going to leave you. Why do you think that I'm going to leave you honey?" Shawn asked.
"Because I just heard you on the phone with your Mum and you said that you didn't know how much more you could take." I said. Shawn gently pulled me in for a hug and then walked me over to the couch so we could sit down. He held my hands in his, sending electricity spark through me yet I felt safe and warm at the same time. His eyes looked comforting and worried.
"No honey, I'm not leaving you, I promise. I just, I'm your husband, and when you're upset or crying or anything, I want to fix it because I don't like seeing you cry and I don't like seeing you upset. My love, my darling, precious, love, I will never ever leave you. I love you so much honey and that's never going to change, I promise. Okay?" He asked. I nodded as I slowly stopped crying.
"Okay. Shawny I want to hold her." I said as I leaned on him. He wrapped his arms around me.
"I know baby, me too. But we have to wait until she's ready to come." Shawn said and I nodded. Two months later my water broke so Shawn rushed me to the hospital. I was in the middle of pushing when I turned to Shawn.
"IF YOUR SPERM HADN'T WANTED TO HAVE FUN THEN I WOULDN'T BE IN THIS PAIN!" I screamed. Shawn continued to hold my hand.
"Darling, she was planned. Just keep pushing and she'll be here soon enough." Shawn said. I continued to push and soon we heard a cry. I smiled and let my head rest back on the pillow.
"Would Dad like to cut the cord?" Dr. Ackles asked and Shawn nodded. I heard the snip and Shawn smiled at me.
"Where is she?" I asked.
"They're just cleaning her off. You did wonderful honey, I'm so proud of you." Shawn said and I smiled.
"Thank you Shawny." I said. He kissed my forehead.
"You're welcome." He said. Then, our baby was placed on my chest and I cried tears of joy when I saw her.
"Oh my gosh she's beautiful." I said.
"She really is. She looks just like her gorgeous Momma." Shawn said and I smiled at him.
"She's finally here honey. We're finally parents." I said. Tears formed in Shawn's eyes as he smiled at his newborn daughter.
"I'm a Daddy." He said and I nodded.
"Yes you are. Would you like to hold her?" I asked. Shawn looked at me with wide eyes.
"What if I drop her?" He asked. I shook my head.
"You won't. I promise." I said. He nodded and gently took her from me so he could hold her. More happy tears fell from both of our eyes as he held her. A nurse then walked in.
"Do we have a name for this beautiful girl?" She asked. We nodded.
"Rose Lucille Mendes." I said.
"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl." The nurse said and Shawn and I thanked her before she left the room. Shawn and I spent some time with Rose before he handed her back to me so he could get our parents. They had tears in their eyes when they walked in.
"What's her name?" Karen asked.
"This is Rose Lucille Mendes." I said and they smiled.
"She's so gorgeous, just like her Momma." Shawn said and I smiled at him.
"Shawn I just gave birth. I'm sweaty and I don't have any makeup on." I said with a giggle. He looked shocked.
"Yes, and you're still the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen." He said and I blushed and then looked back at Rose.
"She has your nose Shawn." I said.
"Yeah but she has your eyes and hair and everything." He said before kissing the top of my head. I turned towards Rose's grandparents.
"Do you guys want to hold her?" I asked and they nodded. My mom was the closest to me, so she held her first.
"Oh my gosh she really does look like you Y/n." My mom said as she teared up some more. I smiled.
"Doesn't she? Of course I've seen photos of my wife when she was a baby, and I swear, besides the nose, Rose is an exact replica of her." Shawn said and I smiled at him.
"Do you want to sit on the bed with me?" I asked. He smiled at me and nodded. I put my head on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me and we watched the grandparents look at the newest addition to the family. I then looked at Shawn and stuck out my lip a little.
"What's up my love?" He asked.
"I miss my baby belly." I said and he laughed.
"Well you'll have it back eventually. Just wait a couple of years and then you'll have it again, okay?" He asked. I nodded.
"Okay." I said.
"Dad, could I hold my daughter please?" Shawn asked. Manny nodded and then handed Rose to Shawn. I smiled at the sight of Shawn rubbing her cheek with his thumb. "I hope that she becomes a Daddy's girl."
"You're a Daddy now Shawn." I said and he turned to smile at me as tears formed in his eyes.
"And that's because of you, so thank you so much honey." He said.
"Well you helped." I said. He laughed and nodded.
"Yes but you carried her for nine months and everything. I love you darling." He said and I smiled as my eyes fluttered shut as he kissed my forehead.
"I love you too." I said. Shawn's phone then dinged and so did mine.
"I'll check that later. I'm too afraid to move my arms." Shawn said as he held Rose. I leaned over and saw that the text that was from Manny to both Shawn and I. When I unlocked it, I saw that Manny had taken a picture of Shawn, Rose and I. In the picture, my head was resting on Shawn's shoulder as we smiled at Rose. I smiled at Manny.
"I love it. Our first family photo. Thank you." I said.
"You're welcome." Manny said. Shawn looked over at the photo and smiled.
"I love it. We can use that to announce her arrival." Shawn said. I nodded.
"Whatever you want babe." I said and Shawn smiled at me. Later that day, as I rested, Shawn told the rest of our family and friends that Rose had arrived. When I woke up, Shawn had posted the photo that Manny had sent us.
"As I write this, my newly born daughter, and my wife, are sleeping. A few hours ago, Y/n and I welcomed Rose Lucille Mendes into the world, and we couldn't be happier. I never thought that I could love someone as much as I love my wife, but Rose has proven me wrong. She's only a few hours old and she already has me wrapped around her little tiny fingers. Rose looks just like her Momma. She may have my nose, but everything else is Y/n, causing me to be very happy. Mom and baby are doing very well. Welcome to world Rosie. You're so beyond loved." Shawn wrote and I smiled. I looked over and saw that Shawn was asleep in his chair with one hand in Rose's little crib that was beside him. I posted another photo that Manny had taken, this one showed Rose a little more but not a lot, and Shawn and I were smiling at each other in the photo.
"I've never been so happy in my life. Shawn and I are so happy to say that our little girl, Rose Lucille Mendes, was born a few hours ago. I was sleeping while Shawn wrote his post, but as I write my own post, Shawn has one hand in the crib that's holding Rose as he sleeps in the chair next to my bed. Rose is so beautiful and I never knew that I could love anything as much as I love her and Shawn. My heart is full. Welcome to the world Rosie. Mommy and Daddy, and so many other people, love you." I wrote. I then looked over at Shawn, who was opening his eyes. He smiled at me and then at Rose, and then back at me.
"How long have you been awake for?" He asked.
"Just a little bit. Long enough to take a photo of you with your hand in Rose's crib." I said as I showed him the photo. He smiled at it.
"I love it." He said.
"Does my husband and the father of my child want to lay with his wife?" I asked. He quietly chuckled and nodded.
"Yeah." He said, and then got into bed with me. He kissed the side of my head and I rested my head on his chest.
"I love you Shawn, I love you Rose." I said.
"I love you too Y/n, and so does Rose." Shawn said, and with that I fell asleep feeling like the luckiest girl in the world.
