Valerie

Authors Note: I am honestly running out of ideas on what to write about for Shawn, I do not know what scenarios you guys would like to read. But, here is Daddy!Shawn, it is kinda cute. 

Shawn Master List found HERE

I am not sure who asked me to tag them when I post tea-party Shawn, I am starting to think it was all a dream bc everybody is telling me it wasn’t them.  So, I am just going to give a small shout out. Here are some lovelies that have allowed me to blow their messages up with things. 

@ihaveabadreputation @hemmingshood12 @bleedingonedirection @dailymendes01 @redcalvinsharry @honest-for-mendes 

Since the moment he casted his eyes on her Zinnwaldite Brown eyes, he was hooked— there was nothing else in the world more important than the baby girl swaddled in his arms—her pastel pink blanket wrapped around her tiny little body.

From the moment Valerie Anne arrived in the world on December 13th, weighing 7lbs, he did everything possible to keep her happy, from driving around at three in the morning to get her to sleep for a few hours, to cradling her on his chest late at night while she stays wide-eyed and cooing.

It’s no surprise when you find the two of them taking naps, cuddled up on the couch, or in the king size bed, he is always making sure to spend as much time as possible with his three-year-old, the word no never being able to fall from his lips.

Not when it comes to the hickory eyes of hers, that shine up at him on a daily basis.

When you step into the peaceful house, you assume the two of them are taking a nap somewhere, cuddled together, your little girl safely secure in her Daddy’s arms.

It’s when you overhear soft giggles coming from upstairs that you become curious as to what the two of them are up to.

You climb the stairs with a smile, the chuckles getting heavier, Shawn’s own laughs echoing lightly.

You unobtrusively make your way towards her bedroom, peeking your head into the room to see what is causing the snickers. The moment you observe your husband and little girl sitting on the floor, surrounded by teddy bears and the small tea-set, your heart flutters with joy.

The tea party is her favourite pass time, she would spend hours playing tea-party with you if you’d allow her to.

There have been so many times when Shawn has been on a tour and you have spent hours playing tea-party, just to keep her calm and not set on wanting to call daddy every five minutes.

“Mr.Snuggles, it’s very nice tea.” Shawn lightly glides his hand over one of the numerous teddy bears head.

Him playing tea party is something you’ve never seen, generally, it’s you, but today— today he seems to be doing a great job.

He has done many things with his little girl, painting nails. playing with her hair, allowing her to paint his nails and brush his hair in return. He is always hands on, teaching her new things, playing new games with her, doing anything she wants— His main focus being her happiness — There is nothing he wouldn’t do for her, he’d walk to the ends of the Earth just for his little girl. She is his pride and joy, everything he could have requested of you to give him.

“Daddy—” Your little girl shakes her head, pressing her cup down, “That is Mr Rufus, Mr.Snuggles is here.” She gestures towards the teddy bear beside her.

Shawn playfully gasps, “I am so sorry, accept my apologies.” He grins, his eyes finally glancing over to take notice of you watching the crew. “Hey Mrs.Mendes, care to join?” He smiles towards you, already petting the spare space beside him, “Of course, if that is okay with everyone at the tea-party.” He views around towards the circle of bears.

You nod and take the empty space by your husband, smiling over at Valerie, “Hey princess, how’s tea-party with Daddy?”

“Good, Mr Rufus likes Daddy, we think he should always play,” Valerie responds, Shawn lifting his cup and taking a sip,

“Oh no, am I being kicked out of the tea-party group?” You gasp,

“No~” Your little girl shakes her head, her soft wavy hair bouncing with her motions. “We just want Daddy to play more.”

“Daddy will play more now that he is back.” Shawn pipes in, gently wrapping an arm around you, “Should we show Mummy what we learnt today?” Shawn looks towards his pride and joy, a smile widening across his lips. Valerie instantly nods, already standing to her feet before anything else can be said.

You stand to your feet, your little girl taking your hand and pulling you towards the room that is solely Shawn, full of all his music possessions, awards, records, and guitars. “Shawn?” You question, glancing over your shoulder to look at him behind you as he walks the hallway.

“It’s cool.” He smiles, your little girl tugging you into his territory, Shawn stepping in right behind you. “Valerie, which one are we using?” Shawn asks, Valerie pointing towards the guitar that Shawn takes on tour with him. He sits down on the floor, Valerie moving to sit in his lap before he carefully places the guitar over her little body, resting in her lap.

“Like Daddy showed you, one hand here, and one here, sweetie.” Shawn grins as he gently presses Valerie’s hands to position themselves on the guitar. “There we go, do you remember what to do?” He whispers, carefully showing her with his hand, his thumb gliding over the strings. She nods, her gorgeous eyes peering up at you.

“You ready, Mummy?”

You nod, grinning as her small fingers perform a small melody, Shawn backing her a little bit, but leaving most of it for her to express.

You had always hoped she received Shaw n’s musical talent and trait, you think you actually hoped for it more than what Shawn did. Shawn used to always say, “I don’t care if she isn’t musically talented, I don’t care if she would rather play Hockey or baseball, I just want a happy little girl. But, if she loves music, it would be great.”

You watch in awe, your smile resembling a proud mother as your little girl cheerfully plays a few chords, the quality being music to your ears. 

You never really thought the moment Valerie executed a few chords that she would cause tears to well up in your eyes. 

“Mummy, don’t cry.” Valerie instantly stops her chords, Shawn’s eyes pulling away from Valeria and the guitar, “Mummy, it okay.” She wiggles away from Shawn and the guitar, hurrying towards you. 

You pick her up, her arms immediately wrapping around your neck. 

“Aww, Val, they are happy tears.” You assure her, smiling over at Shawn as he settles his guitar back in its spot before making his way towards you. 

“Think we might have another artist on our hands. She learnt pretty quick.” He carefully rubs his thumb over your cheeks, wiping away the tears. 

You nod, appreciating the hugs from Valerie, Shawn caressing a few delightful kisses on your cheek. 

“Valerie, you gotta kiss Mummy too, she loves big sloppy kisses.” Shawn snickers, encouraging Valerie to attack you with her adoringly sweet kisses, the kisses she undoubtedly acquired from her Father.
