To find the total area of the shape, we need to calculate the area of the square and the area of the two semicircles.

Area of the square:
Side length = 2 inches
Area = side length^2
Area = 2^2 = 4 square inches

Area of one semicircle:
Radius = diameter/2 = 2/2 = 1 inch
Area = 1/2 * pi * radius^2
Area = 1/2 * 3.14 * 1^2
Area = 1.57 square inches

Total area of both semicircles = 2 * 1.57 = 3.14 square inches

Total area of the shape = area of square + total area of both semicircles
Total area = 4 + 3.14 = 7.14 square inches

Therefore, the total area of the shape is 7.14 in^2. The closest option from the choices provided is 7.14 in^2.
