I just told my husband of a little over a year, Shawn Mendes, that I had become pregnant with his baby, causing the both of us to be ecstatic. Shawn was sitting next to me, looking at my belly hesitantly.

"What? Why are you looking at my belly like that?" I asked with a smile.

"Is it, would it, is it okay if I touch your belly?" Shawn asked. I put my hand to his cheek so he would look at me.

"Honey, this isn't just my baby, this is your baby too. You can touch my belly whenever you want. You don't even have to ask, my love. The people that I'm definitely okay with touching my belly are you, obviously, my mom, your mum, your sister, and Grace." I said. Shawn nodded and put his hand on my belly as he smiled.

"Our baby is in there." Shawn said as he looked at me with tears in his eyes. I nodded.

"Yup. And we know that if our baby is a girl, we'll name her Rose Lucille Mendes, and if our baby is a boy, we'll name him Jacob Alexander Scott Mendes, right?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Yeah. When do you think we'll feel the baby kick?" Shawn asked. I thought for a moment. I have a degree in psychology and I took a human growth and development class so I should know this.

"If I remember correctly, it's anywhere between sixteen to twenty two weeks." I said. Shawn's eyes widened.

"Wait, how far along are you?" Shawn asked.

"I'm not a hundred percent sure. We should set up a doctor's appointment and get that figured out." I said and Shawn nodded. When we went to the doctors office, we found out that I was about five weeks along, but it was too early to tell the gender. When I was three months pregnant, we went back and found out that we were pregnant with a baby girl.

"I'm so happy that you're getting a bump. I can't wait to see our little girl." Shawn said. The next day, we announced to our friends and family that we would be expecting a little girl in six months, causing everyone to be ecstatic - not as ecstatic as Shawn and I, but still.

When I was about five months pregnant, Shawn had an event to go to in Los Angeles. He asked if I wanted to come, and I checked with the doctor, and they said yes. I dressed up in a black dress that showed off my baby bump perfectly. By now, Shawn and I had felt our baby girl kick for the first time, which made the both of us cry happy tears. When we landed at the airport, there were fans there. Ever since I told him that I'm pregnant, Shawn has been more gentle with me, and when he saw the fans, his grip on my waist tightened as he pulled me closer to him.

"Shawn, can I get a picture with you please?" A teenage girl asked and Shawn nodded before looking at me.

"You okay if I take pictures?" Shawn asked and I nodded as I smiled at him.

"Yeah." I said. I looked around, making sure that I knew where his security guard, Jake Stras was. I spotted him and then looked back at Shawn. He was taking a picture with another fan. That fan, as Shawn was looking at someone else, came up to me.

"Hi Y/n, could I get a picture with you please?" She asked. I nodded.

"Sure." I said. She then had her friend take the picture, and in the pose, she put her hand on my growing baby bump. I tensed up. My belly is not something that I want random strangers touching - only certain people. "Please don't touch my bump." I said. The girl gave me a dirty look.

"Why not?" She asked.

"Because it's part of my body and I don't know you. There are only about five people that I feel comfortable letting touch my belly." I said. She scoffed and walked away. Whatever. It was cold out, and so I zipped up my jacket and hugged my arms to my chest and belly, not wanting random people to touch it. Another fan then came up to me and began rubbing my belly.

"You're getting a belly!" She said.

"Yes. Please don't touch it. It's part of my body and there are only a few people that I'm okay with letting them touch my belly." I said.

"Then why did you come here?" She asked.

"Because I'm here to support my husband." I said. She rolled her eyes and walked away. Shawn was still taking pictures with fans, so I walked over to Jake.

"You okay?" He asked.

"People keep touching my belly. There are only about five people that I'm okay with letting them touch my belly, and the only one that's here that's on that list is my husband." I said. Jake nodded.

"Do you want to head back to the hotel?" Jake asked. I looked at Shawn and then shook my head at Jake.

"No, I'm safe with you, and I'm safe with my husband. Do you think that if I stick with you, no one will come up to me and touch my belly?" I asked. Jake shrugged.

"I don't know." He said. I sighed as someone came up to me.

"Baby belly!" The girl said as she reached out to touch my belly. I tensed up but luckily Jake stepped in and stopped the girl.

"Please don't touch her belly." Jake said. The girl nodded and walked away. Soon, Shawn was done taking pictures and we got our luggage and went to the car. I was quiet.

"Are you okay darling?" Shawn asked me as he put his arm around my shoulders. I nodded.

"Yeah." I lied as I looked straight ahead, not wanting him to be able to tell that I was lying. I put my hand on my belly and rubbed. Shawn put his hand to my cheek and turned my face to look at him, but I let my eyes look out the window, rather than at him.

"Why won't you look me in the eyes honey?" Shawn asked. I shrugged. Shawn then turned to Jake. "Did something happen while I was taking pictures?" He asked Jake. Jake looked at me.

"You have to tell him. He's your husband." Jake said.

"She has to tell me what?" Shawn asked. I looked at him. My pregnancy hormones began to kick in, and so I started to cry.

"You know how I'm okay with only, like, five people touching my belly?" I asked. Shawn nodded as he rubbed my cheek.

"Yeah." He said.

"Fans were coming up to me and touching my belly so I asked them not to and they were giving me attitude." I said. I then told him about the girl that asked why I was here if I wasn't going to let people touch my belly. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I'll do a live stream when we get back to the hotel and tell the fans that they can't touch your stomach." Shawn said. I nodded as I cried a bit more. I felt bad for some reason.

"We're here and there are fans outside." Jake said. I turned to Shawn.

"I don't want the fans seeing me crying." I said. Shawn immediately took his sunglasses off his head and handed them to me.

"Put these on babe. Hold my hand and don't let go, okay?" Shawn said and asked as I put his sunglasses on. I nodded.

"Okay, I won't." I said. We stepped out of the car and I slipped my hand into Shawn's. I felt electricity spark through me, yet I felt safe and warm as our skin touched. A fan then tried to come up to me.

"I love that you're getting a belly!" She said and stuck her hand out to touch my belly.

"Please don't my wife's belly." Shawn said and we quickly went inside and into our hotel room. I took Shawn's sunglasses off and cried.

"I'm so sorry Shawn." I said. He sat on the bed with me and frowned.

"Why are you sorry darling?" Shawn asked.

"Because these are your fans and I'm telling them not to touch me." I said.

"That's okay honey. This is your body, and you need to feel comfortable with it and with who is touching it. I'll do a live stream." Shawn said and I nodded.

"Okay." I said. I stayed out of the frame so no one could see me as he as did the live stream. Shawn talked about how fans have been coming up to me and touching my belly and he discussed what happened at the airport.

"Please guys, obviously my wife's belly is part of her body, so please don't come up to her and start touching her belly. The only people that she's okay with letting them touch her stomach are me - obviously - her mom, my mum, my sister, and her best friend. That's it. So please don't come up to my wife and just start touching her belly. That's her body, and our baby is in there. Okay, we have to go get ready. I love you guys, bye!" Shawn said and ended the live stream. I kissed his cheek.

"Thank you for that Shawny." I said. He smiled at me.

"Anything for you darling. We actually have some time before we need to start getting ready, do you want to cuddle?" He asked. I nodded.

"Yeah." I said. I laid down on the bed and so did Shawn.

"Mind if I rub your belly?" Shawn asked as he laid on his side and I laid on my back. I shook my head and smiled.

"Not at all babe. Go ahead." I said. He smiled and began to rub my belly. It felt good and soothing.

"I can't wait to hold her honey." Shawn said. I nodded and Shawn kissed my cheek.

"I know, I can't wait either. Four more months." I said.

"Yup. I love you darling." Shawn said. I turned to him and smiled.

"I love you too. Kisses?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded. He put his lips on mine and I felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through me like fireworks. Shawn and I pulled away and smiled at each other. Later that night, we had a good time at the event. I'm so lucky to have Shawn as my husband and I love him so much.
