Later, after Shawn was done informing everyone about Sofia's pregnancy, they couldn't hide their joy. He left to his room and noticed the door was locked, his brow furrowing in confusion.
"Sofia!" he knocked, calling out to her. Sofia opened the door slightly, a scowl on her face, and threw a pillow at him. Shawn's eyes widened in surprise, and he raised his hands to block the pillow. "What are you doing?" he asked, his face turning puzzled.
"You are sleeping on the couch today." Her face Stern.
"Why?"he asked curiously.
"That's for getting me pregnant on purpose." She slammed the door against him, and Shawn sighed tiredly, his face turning resigned.
He came to the living room, smiling wryly, and lay down on the couch, resting his head on the pillow.
Troy appeared from the staircase, a knowing glint in his eye. "Why are you sleeping on the couch, instead of cuddling your pregnant wife?" Shawn's face turned sheepish. "Don't tell me, I know, she chased you out of the room, right?" Troy teased, chuckling.
He nodded, his face turning amused. "Yeah."
Troy laughed. "Let me guess, pregnancy hormones." Shawn ignored him, closing his eyes. "Enjoy it, man. Good night."
Troy left for his room, still laughing, and Shawn smiled, shaking his head.
Some hours later, Sofia came out of the room, looking sleepy. She walked to the living room and moved to Shawn on the couch, lying on top of him. Shawn opened his eyes, a warm smile spreading across his face as he saw her sleeping on his body.
"Silly you, who said you could sleep without me?" he whispered, his eyes crinkling at the corners.
He carried her in his arms like a baby, and they went inside the room.

The next morning, Sofia was still fast asleep in Shawn's arms as he cuddled her warmly. There was a doorbell ringing, and one of the workers rushed to open the door to see Sofia's family. She greeted them warmly and allowed them in.
Lucas looked around, his brow furrowed. "Are they still sleeping?"
Troy greeted them from the stairs, a friendly smile on his face. "Good morning."
They turned to him, responding with a smile. Diana asked, "Where are Shawn and Sofia?"
Troy replied, "Probably they are still sleeping."
Grandma's face turned excited. "Aww! I just want to see my grandchild."
Troy said, "Let me go and wake them up," but Lucas stopped him.
"No need for that, we will wait," Lucas said, and they sat down.
Then the doorbell rang again. Troy left to open the door to see Jeff, Nina, and Mabel together. The two ladies were holding balloons and gifts.
"Sup," Jeff said, shoulder-hugging Troy, and they went inside.
Everyone greeted each other and sat down, chatting while waiting for Sofia and Shawn.
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Sofia woke up to see Shawn cuddling her. She looked puzzled, wondering how he got there when she knew she had chased him out of the room last night. She pinched his cheek, and Shawn groaned in pain, opening his eyes.
"What are you doing on the bed with me? I thought I chased you out last night," Sofia said, her brow furrowed.
Shawn smiled at her, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "Well, someone came to me last night and lay on me in the living room." They sat upright on the bed, Sofia's expression turning curious.
"Yeah, right!" She frowned and moved out of the bed. Shawn smiled at her, shaking his head.
"Aren't you going to give me a morning kiss?" he asked.
She ignored him and turned to open the door, but it was locked. "Why is it locked?" she wondered.
Shawn smirked, holding up the keys. "You won't go out until you give me my morning kiss. The keys are with me."
She turned to him "Why did you lock the door?"
He stood up and moved to her, closing the gap between them. "If you want to go out, kiss me first."
He leaned his face closer. Suddenly, She felt like throwing up. She pushed him aside and ran to the bathroom.
Shawn panicked and rushed to her, his face turning worried. He saw her throwing up and gently patted her back. After she was done, he helped her to the bathroom sink and washed her face, then carried her to the bed.
"I will get the workers to prepare something for you to eat," he said, his expression turning concerned.
She shook her head weakly. "I am not hungry."
Shawn caressed her face, noticing her temperature rising. "You need to eat something." He kissed her lips softly. "I will call the doctor over, okay?" He left, and Sofia settled on the bed, looking pale.
Shawn came out of the room to see everyone in the living room chatting. Immediately they saw him, they rushed to him.
"Where is Sofia? Is she still sleeping?" Mabel asked, her brow furrowed.
"Um, she is awake and...." He couldn't finish his words before the women left him, rushing to the room. The men stared after them, smiling.
"Congratulations, man," Jeff said, clapping Shawn on the back.
Shawn smiled, looking relieved. "Thank you."
Lucas smiled, his eyes shining with pride. "I am happy for you, son."
The women surrounded Sofia in the room, smiling at her.
"Congratulations, my dear," Diana said, beaming. Sofia smiled weakly, looking pale.
"Guess who is the upcoming mom in town," Nina said, tying balloons by the sides of the bed.
Then the men came over, and the excitement continued. Diana left to prepare something special for Sofia.
Later in the evening, after everyone had left for their homes, Shawn entered the room with a fruit salad, a concerned expression on his face. He noticed Sofia wasn't on the bed, but he could hear her throwing up in the bathroom. He hurriedly placed the fruit on the shelf and rushed inside the bathroom.
Shawn's face turned worried as he bent to her, patting her back gently. After she was done and washing her face, he helped her to the bed.
"Are you feeling better?" he asked, caressing her face, his eyes filled with concern.
She smiled weakly. "Yeah, I am fine."
Shawn's expression turned thoughtful. "I brought you some fruit. Do you want some?"
Sofia nodded, and Shawn took the fruit salad from the shelf and started feeding her.
Sofia looked up at him, noticing the worried look on his face. "Why are you looking worried?" she asked.
Shawn's brow furrowed. "You keep throwing up since morning."
"Mom said it's normal for a pregnant woman to throw up. She said with time it will stop."
"But it's making you look weak, and I don't like seeing you like this." He said.
"It's gonna be fine. Mom said taking water every time helps prevent..."
His eyes lit up with excitement. "Hold on, let me get a paper and a pen so I can write it down."
He moved to the drawer to get a paper and a pen and then came back to start jotting down notes. Sofia's expression turned serious as she listed the foods she needed to eat.
"Mom said what I should eat whole fruits like: apples, berries, orange, mangoes, and bananas, then veggies like; broccoli, sweet potatoes, beets, okra, spinach, peppers, and jicama. Whole grains, like; brown rice, millet, oatmeal, bulgur, and whole-wheat bread. Proteins — like lean meats and chicken, eggs, seafood, beans and lentils, nuts and seeds, and tofu. Low-fat or fat-free dairy — like milk, yogurt, cheese, lactose-free dairy, and fortified soy beverages (soy milk) or soy yogurt. Oils — like vegetable oil, olive oil, and oils in foods like seafood, avocado, and nuts."
Shawn's face turned focused as he wrote everything down on the paper.
"Done," he said, Smiling "I will ask the workers to get all these from the market. Is there anything else missing?"
She thought for a moment. "Snacks, like crackers and peanut butter."
Shawn nodded, smiling. "Done." He kissed her forehead, and they smiled at each other, their faces filled with love and concern.
