Your POV

I had just finished setting the table so that Shawn and I could actually eat a meal together when he got home. We rarely sat down at the table and ate together anymore. We usually ordered takeout or something and sat on the couch, watching TV. Both of us were fine with it because if our hectic lives. But I wanted tonight to be special because I wanted to talk to Shawn about something. We had been married for over a year and we still didn't have any kids. I had vaguely touched on the subject when we were teenagers, but it hadn't come up in a while. And recently I had really been wanting a baby. The idea of having a mini-me or a mini-Shawn running around seemed very appealing. I also liked the idea of having someone to take care of. That, and babies were just really adorable. But I did know that it would be a lot of work. Taking care of a baby by myself could get difficult and I didn't want to take Shawn away from his job. I had been thinking about it for a while and I decided that the best thing to do would be to ask Shawn about it. That was also the only way to get a baby. I couldn't make a baby without Shawn and Shawn would need to know about it to help me make one.

For dinner, I made lasagna. Something that was simple and we hadn't eaten it in a while. I also knew that Shawn liked it. Now everything was ready. I went to sit on the couch to wait for Shawn, who should be getting home in a few minutes. As if he was on que, I heard keys rattling in the door and then Shawn stepped inside. I waited for him to take off his shoes and coat before getting up and talking to him.

"Hey," I said cheerfully, walking over to him.

'Hi," he said, smiling. He met me half way across the living room and he cradled my face in his hands and kissed me. "I missed you," he said when he pulled back.

"I missed you too," I said. I stepped closer to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, breathing in his scent. We stayed there for a minute, just hugging. But when we broke apart I told him that I had made dinner. He followed me to the kitchen, where the food was already on plates, waiting. We took our seats across from each other and began eating.

After his first bite, Shawn said "This is really good. Thank you."

"Oh, it wasn't really a big thing. So, how was the studio today?" I asked.

"It was okay. It wasn't that stressful today. I mostly just played random guitar riffs with Geoff to try and find something I liked. And I might have an idea but it definitely still needs work. So how was your day?" he asked.

"Work wasn't all that busy. I didn't do very much at all today."
(A/N: I think that description can fit in with any job, so you can work wherever you want.)

"That's good. Isn't it? Or is it better if you're busy?"

"I think its better when it's not busy," I said with a laugh.

Shawn smiled and by now he was nearly finished with his food and I thought it was time to bring up the baby subject. "Hey, Shawn," I mumbled hesitantly.

"Yes?" he said, looking up.

I wasn't sure how to start this... "Well there's actually something I want to you talk about."

"Go ahead. You know you can talk to me about anything," he said, carefully watching my face.

"I've been thinking... We've been together for a long time and we've been married for a while..." I hesitated and looked down at my lap and played with my wedding ring, twisting it around my finger. Shawn patiently waited for me to continue.

I took a deep breath and I looked up again to look Shawn in the eyes. "What I'm trying to say is that I kind of, no I really want a baby."

Shawn's eyes widened and I quickly continued before he could say no. "I know it could mess with your career and it would change our whole lives and I know that its a lot of responsibility. But I think I'm ready, Shawn. I think we're ready."

"How long have you been thinking about this?" Shawn asked slowly.

"About a week now," I admitted.

"And you haven't said anything until now?" Shawn looked kind of surprised. Usually I didn't keep anything from him for longer than a day. But I had to be sure about this before I brought it up. That, and I was terrified he would say no.

"Well I was kind of scared that you would say no. Because I knew it would really affect your career."

"It might change my career a bit," Shawn said honestly. "But I would give up my entire career for a baby with you."

"Really?" I asked, looking him in the eyes.

"Definitely," he said, dead serious. "Also, I actually really want a baby, too. I think we are ready for a baby. And I kind of want to see what you'd be like when you're pregnant," he added.

I smiled at him and got up to sit in his lap and hug him. "Thank you," I mumbled against his neck.

"Of course, babygirl. You just need to tell me about what you want and it can be arranged. Just don't ever be afraid to talk to me about something. Maybe I feel the same way about something. You won't know until you ask me," he said and I could hear the smile in his voice.

I sat up and said "I know. I promise I'll tell you about everything right away from now on. Except for surprises. You don't get to know about those right away."

"All right. I guess I can live with that," Shawn chuckled. We sat there for a moment before Shawn conversation all said "So when do you want to start trying for a baby?"

I bit my lip and slowly said "I think we should do it tonight. If that's all right with you."

"That's 100℅ fine with me." Shawn pulled my face to his to kiss me. "You know," Shawn mumbled in between kisses. "That's really turning me on."

"What?" I pulled back, confused.

"The idea of no condoms," Shawn blatantly replied.

I rolled my eyes and said "Just take me to the bedroom." I leaned back in to kiss him some more. Shawn stood up, still holding me and he carried me to the bedroom.

About two months later, after a few tries, your pregnancy tests came out positive.
