nesting clown?

For the past 3-4 days when feeding my fish, Cookie, my female clown has practically been breaking the surface to be the first to eat. Tonight I went to feed the fish, and I couldn't get her out of her mushrooms. She looks fine, she's breathing fine, defending her 'shrooms, everything...I'm wondering if perhaps my clowns have finally delivered a clutch of eggs. If they have, she's laid them under the mushrooms, out of sight, IDK.
I've also noticed that my big emerald and my coral banded shrimp are hanging out around their 'shroom rock tonight (which is how I noticed she's defending her territory just fine)...would they be interested in the eggs...if there are any?
Anyone who knows, please let me know if this is a possibility and that my little Cookie is going to be okay.

was Cookie hosting in anything before the mushrooms? Often with no host they use the whole tank and wander around. But once they find thier host they dont leave it. Kim Jong Il wont leave his anenome more than a few seconds no matter what is going on in the tank. I can see him practically salivate when food is in the tank. He gets super anxious but STILL wont leave his host untill the food is close to him where he can just dart out for it and then dart back........
