Baby Fever

Request: Baby shopping with ashton? THANKSS 😊

Word Count: ~400

And away, and away we go!

__

Your fingers ran along the soft fabrics of the clothing rack. How the fuck were you and Ashton supposed to find a gift for Michael and Crystal’s baby shower when you just wanted to buy them the whole baby section at Target? How did anyone decide anything in this area, where every item was cuter than the last?

“Babe!” Ashton’s gasp startled you. You whirled to see him holding up the tiniest pair of black Converse. “Isn’t it sweet? Look at how tiny! I didn’t even know they made shoes this tiny… Are baby feet really this small? I can’t remember. It’s been years since Lauren and Harry were little. And I was a kid myself more or less. I mean… I guess shoe companies would know how small baby feet are. They are the ones who make baby shoes. But it’s so tiny! Can you imagine anyone having small little feetsies?”

The shoes rested perfectly in the palm of large hand, the fingers of his other hand brushing against them gingerly, like they were as fragile as the small infant that would wear them. When he shifted his gaze to look over at you to gauge your reaction, the flecks of green and gold in his irises were soft with wonder and racing thoughts. “Does Ashton Irwin have baby fever?” you teased.

The man’s cheeks flushed as he set the shoes back on the shelf, ducking his head. “I’ve always wanted to be a dad. I think I’d be good at it.”

“You would be great at it,” you agreed. There was no doubt in your mind that Ashton’s babies would be the luckiest babies in the world to have a dad like him.

You jumped as his voice was suddenly whispering in your ear, a low rasp of, “Is that your way of saying you want to have a baby with me? Because you would make one, hot momma.”

This time it was your face that flooded with warmth, from the bottom of your cheeks to the tip of your ears, a high-pitched giggle bubbling past your lips. “You,” you kept giggling, turning in Ashton’s arms that had wrapped around you to look up at him. “You would have to propose first. If we’re doing this, you gotta wife me up first, Irwin.”

“I propose to you all the time!” he scoffed.

Now you were full on laughing, “I thought you were proposing we go get coffee! Cuz that’s what we end up doing!”

“Well yeah, I like getting coffee with you. But like… marriage would be nice, too.”

“Gonna have to propose a whole lot better than that, Irwin. Bring your A game.”

“Oh, don’t worry. I will. It’s gonna be like something out of a movie. You might cry. I might cry.”

“Can’t wait.”

“Me neither.”

Subtle Changes - Part Two

Pairing: Ashton Irwin x Reader

Words: 3000+

Request: Maybe a part two to subtle changes because it was so cute, maybe where it’s further on in the pregnancy because expecting dad ash is just so special 😍😍

Author’s Note: HEY! I bet you thought you were never going to see this fic again. Well, I got this request a while ago and the whole thing with the cannon gave me the whole idea behind this fic. I really hope you guys like it!! Let me know what you thought, maybe???

Part One

The sun shines through the semi-closed blinds, hitting me straight in the face, waking me from my slumber. A groan leaves my lips, my hand gliding over my baby bump as I slowly opened my eyes. I squint as I look towards the alarm clock, seeing it was quite early in the morning. I throw the blankets off of me, getting out of the bed and fully closing the blinds before lying back down.

I close my eyes again and let out a sigh as I lay on my side a bit, trying to get comfortable. It didn't take long for me to fall back asleep, sleeping for a little over an hour before the sound of someone in my bedroom wakes me up. My phone dings, signaling that I got a notification from something.

"I didn't mean to wake you up, baby," Ash's voice quietly speaks and I let out a sigh of relief, thankful it's him and not some murderer.

"S'okay," I mumble tiredly and flutter my eyes open, seeing my handsome drummer standing on his side of the bed. He sets his bag onto the mattress, a smile gracing his lips.

Ashton climbs onto the bed, laying down beside me before his hand moves to the baby bump. "How's little one doing?" He asks and I smile softly, placing my hand over his.

"Little one is doing wonderful. They're keeping mommy up sometimes at night, but other than that," I explain and his hazel eyes move to mine before glancing back towards my five-month bump.

Ashton chuckles before his hand moves to my baby bump, gliding his rough fingertips across my soft skin. I turn towards the nightstand, opening it and grab the ultrasound picture. "We can't have that happening now can we," he states and leans forward to press a kiss to my stomach.

"Literally we can't. Momma doesn't get enough sleep as it is. Especially since you're not home," I tell him and he frowns a bit.

"There are only a few shows left and then I'm all yours."

I bring my hand to his face, stroking his cheek before remembering the ultrasound picture I got at my check-up a few days ago. "It's alright, baby. I've gotten accustomed to it. I just missed you quite a bit lately," I mention and lean forward to press a chaste kiss to his lips before moving towards the nightstand, grabbing the ultrasound. "By the way, I went to the doctor on Monday for my check-up and I got to see it."

Ash looks at the picture in my hand before he takes it from my fingers and I watch his eyes tear up a bit. "They're precious," he whispers and sets the picture down on his nightstand before moving the blanket away from my stomach. "Hi, little one," Ashton presses a gentle kiss to my belly, a smile on my lips as I run my fingers through his hair.

"I love you," I tell him and his hazel eyes glance up at me.

He moves away from the baby bump, hovering his face over mine before pressing a soft kiss to my lips. "I love you so much. My soon-to-be mama," Ashton coos and I grin from ear to ear.

"You're gonna be a wonderful dad, Ash."

His eyes light up as I stroke my fingers over his cheeks. "You really think so?" He asks and I nod my head, pulling his face closer to mine and connect our lips again.

Ashton lets out a sigh through his nose, melting into the kiss as his hands move up my sides. He pulled away from me before nuzzling his face into my neck, moving so he's lying beside me. His lips pepper my skin, biting softly as a giggle leaves my lips.

"I don't want to leave you," the black-haired man mutters into my neck and the smile on my face turns into a frown.

"Hey, baby," I mumble and run my fingers through his hair as Ash picks his head up, looking me in the eye. "You're not gonna be gone for long before you're home again. I would love to go with you but I'm not gonna fit in your small bunk." Ashton chuckles as I rub my belly, his eyes quickly glancing at the action before he sighs.

"I know, I know. There are only three shows left," he reassures himself more than me, his eyes slowly shutting.

I kiss the tip of his nose, shuffling in my spot so I'm laying on my back. "You wanna cuddle with me? Before you have to leave again?" I ask and his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree as he nods his head.

Ashton gets up from the bed, shedding his clothes until he's in just his boxers and lays back down beside me. He places a quick kiss to my lips once last time before I turn to my side, letting him spoon me.

His hands splayed across my stomach, caressing my skin softly as he nuzzled his face into my neck. "I love you," Ash whispers and I smile. I lay my hand over his, lacing our fingers together as I slowly close my eyes.

"I love you, Ash," I tiredly whisper, the two of us falling into a slumber.

-

"You're really gonna wait another three months before you figure out what you're going to have?" My friend, Steff, asks me and I shrug my shoulders.

I take a glance down at my stomach, running a hand over it as the two of us sat in the hotel room in Vancouver. "I thought about it. I guess it's kinda hard to prepare for them when I don't know the gender," I mumble as I bite my lip softly. "The woman gave me a slip with the gender on it. D-Do you wanna look?" I ask her and she squeals, nodding her head.

A laugh leaves my lips and I get up from the bed, heading towards my luggage to grab the envelope that the slip is in. I hand it to the redhead before getting back onto the bed. I watch her face as she opens the envelope, sliding the piece of paper out just enough for her to see before sliding it back into the envelope.

"Can I surprise you two with a gender reveal?" She asks me and I bite my lip, holding a finger up before grabbing my phone.

I call Ashton, putting him on speaker as it rings a couple of times before he answers. "Hey, baby. I'm a bit-"

"It won't take long, babe. Steff just wants to ask us something about the baby," I inform him quickly, knowing he's busy getting ready for tonight's show.

"Oh, alright," he mumbled and I glance towards my friend, signaling her to ask the question she asked me.

Steff shifts on the bed, getting closer to the phone so Ash can hear her clearly. "So, I know the two of you decided to not know the gender of your baby until they're here. But, your girlfriend here is having second thoughts and she showed me the slip she has with the baby's gender on it-"

"Wait, you have it?" Ashton asked me in particular and I bite my lip.

"Yeah. You know, in case we wanted to know. I always keep it with me," I shrug my shoulders and Ashton lets out a laugh.

"Anyway," Steff speaks up sarcastically, a giggle coming from her lips before she gets back to the point. "I was wondering if you two would let me plan a little surprise gender reveal?"

Ashton hums and I rub my hand on my baby bump. "What did you say, baby?" He asks and I tuck a strand of hair behind my ear.

"I didn't answer. I called you after she asked. I don't mind either way. Although, I would like to know if it's a boy or girl so we can plan a bit before they arrive," I tell him and he agrees quietly.

"I mean, yeah, sure. That would be pretty cool actually. The parents being surprised instead of our friends. It's interesting," Ash explains and I chuckle, nodding my head.

"Great! It's settled. Thanks, Ash! Oh, and tell Michael I said he's a dork," Steff mentions to him and I snort slightly.

Ashton lets out a laugh. "I will. I'll see you guys later. I love you, Y/N."

"I love you too, Ash," I tell him, grinning ear to ear.

-

Steff and I made it to the venue about half an hour after I hung up with Ash. As we walk inside, she excuses herself from me and I give her a weird look. "I'll be right back. Gotta go find Mikey," she winks and laughs as a giggle leaves my lips.

"Fine, fine. Go ahead! You know where to meet me," I inform her and Steff nods her head before walking down a different hallway.

"Baby!" Ashton's voice yells out and I pick my head up from looking at my phone, seeing the man I love so much running down the hallway towards me.

I smile widely, slipping my phone into my back pocket before Ash wraps his arms around my shoulders. My hands clutch his jumpsuit, inhaling his scent as my eyes flutter shut. "I hate to say it but I missed you," I mumble into his ear and Ashton chuckles, feeling his chest vibrate.

"It's only been a couple of weeks, baby girl," my drummer boy giggles and I slap his back playfully before pulling away from him.

"It may have only been a couple of weeks but I had you in my arms already when you guys were in LA. Plus, I'm pregnant so shut up," I pout and Ashton pouts before lifting his hand to my mouth.

Ashton drags his thumb across my lip, my eyes looking into his hazel ones as the hand moves to my cheek. "Alright, I may have missed you guys as well," he mumbled and places his free hand on the baby bump. "I miss your lips."

I bite my bottom lip, my hands combing through his black hair as the two of us stand as close as we can. "Well, you should kiss me then," I whisper, looking up at him through my lashes.

Ash's forehead rests against mine and my eyes flutter shut, my heart pounding in my chest. His hands move to my waist, dipping under his sweatshirt I was wearing. "I love you," he murmurs before pressing his lips to mine. I grip the collar of his shirt, kissing him back as a hum leaves both of our lips.

"I love you too," I mumble against his lips after I pull away from him. "I can't wait for our baby to meet you. To see how wonderful you are."

Ashton giggles, his forehead leaning on mine once again. A sigh leaves his lips while his hands move to my baby bump. I hiss a bit at his cold hands, feeling them against my warm skin. "Sorry," he laughs and rubs my stomach, "but, I can't wait for our baby to meet you. You're fucking amazing. You've helped me through so much and I couldn't be more thankful. I'm so in love with you and I couldn't be happier. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you."

Tears came to my eyes as I'm more emotional than I used to be due to the hormones. "Ash," I trail off and press my hands to his cheeks. "I love you with my whole heart. I don't know what or where I'd be without you."

He places a chaste kiss to my lips a few times before we heard Michael call for us. Both of our heads turn towards the right side of the hallway, seeing the blonde-haired boy walk towards us, Steff in tow.

"Hey, man. We need you for soundcheck," Michael tells Ash and the drummer nods his head before looking back down at me.

"You gonna come watch or?" He mumbled the question low enough for me to hear and I shrug my shoulders.

"I might go take a nap so I can watch your set later. Little bean's been making me exhausted lately," I tell him while rubbing the bump.

Ashton nods his head before he crouched down, moving the sweatshirt up and pressing a couple of kisses to my belly. My heart swells at the sight, combing my fingers through his hair as he was whispering to the baby.

After he was finished he stood back up, placing his hands on my cheeks before kissing me deeply. A short moan leaves my lips as I grip the front of his shirt, kissing him back for a second before Ashton pulls away.

"I'll see you later, darling," he mutters in a raspy voice, sending chills down my spine. I nod my head, giving him a smile as he and Mike walk back down the hall towards the stage.

"Y'all are so cute, like, what the actual fuck," Steff comments as the two of us make our way towards their dressing room, a chuckle leaving my lips.

"Thanks, babe," I blush and tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. "Sometimes I can't believe he's mine."

-

The show was incredible, even more than normal since it's the last show of the tour. I could see the tenseness in the boys as they awaited The Chainsmokers prank during the twenty minutes before they hit the stage and practically the entire time they played on stage.

Ashton sprints to me after he gets off stage, a large smile on his face before he wraps me into his arms. "Fuck! That was amazing," he states, giving the boys high fives as his arms were still draped over my shoulders.

A giggle leaves my lips as my arms go around his waist, gripping the back of his black jumpsuit. "You guys fucking rocked it as usual," I tell him as my head rests against Ashton's shoulder.

Steff leans up to give a kiss to Michael's cheek as he suggests to celebrate with a drink in the dressing room. The six of us begin to make our way to the room, Calum and Luke stating that they're in the clear, almost forgetting about the big prank.

I let out a breath of relief, not needing to be scared shitless right now. My fingers interlace with Ashton's, stepping into the dressing room behind him when a cannon goes off.

Screams leave both mine and Ashton's lips. He pushes me behind him, a protective grip on my arm as I grip the back of his jumpsuit. My heart pounds in my chest as the blue confetti falls from the ceiling.

"Surprise!" Steff yells as she turns to face Ashton and me, her and the Chainsmokers crew clapping with large smiles on their faces.

My lips part in shock as I take in the color of the confetti. Ashton glances back at me and I notice the tears build in his eyes. A laugh leaves my lips as my own tears build, wrapping my arms around his shoulders.

"W-We're having a boy," I whisper into his ear and bite onto my bottom lip.

A couple of years trail down my cheeks, feeling his hand touch my baby bump and I pull away from him. Ashton crouches down, resting on one of his knees.

"Oh, baby boy. We are so excited to meet you in a few months. You are definitely going to be spoiled by your uncle's and us of course," he chuckles and looks up at me, the biggest smile on his lips. Cal taps Ash's shoulder and I watch as the blue-haired boy gives him something before whispering into his ear. A blush covers Ashton's cheek as he clears his throat, reaching up to grab my hand. "Y/N, my baby girl, the love of my life, my soulmate, I love you so much. You're so fucking incredible and your personality is like no other which is how I fell so hard in the early years of our relationship. And even now, being together for three and a half years, I still fall more in love with you every day. You're gonna be the greatest mother and I'm so excited to start this new chapter of my life. And I thought this could be the best time to make you officially mine, for life. Will you do me the honor and become Mrs. Irwin?"

More tears stream down my cheeks as I covered my mouth with my hands during the middle of his speech. I nod my head vigorously, not trusting my voice at the moment and I didn't think the smile on Ashton's lips could get any wider. The drummer stands to his feet, showing the ring he had in his hand to me. A short gasp left my lips and held out my left hand.

"Fuck, I love you," he states while sliding the engagement ring onto my finger. As soon as he pushed it all the way on, I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer to me before pressing my lips to his.

The two of us passionately kissed for a good minute before someone clears their throat, reminding us that we weren't alone. Ashton pulled away from me, his hands on my hips as his fingers drew circles into the fabric of my shirt.

Cheers began to fill the room as Ash and I look around, my hands on his chest as people came up to us from the crew to congratulate us. Ashton would thank them as I give them smiles, resting my head in the crook of his neck, my eyes finding the ring on my finger.

"I'm so in love with you," I mumble incoherently, feeling Ashton's hand squeeze my hip. "I can't wait to become the mother of our child and your wife."

meet fletch || pt 6 || ashton irwin

meet fletch || pt 1 || pt 2 || pt 3 || pt 4 || pt 5 || pt 6

Cal looks over at you in the car. “You ok?” 

“Yeah… I knew it’d be possible… but I didn’t think he’d do this to me.” You sigh. 

Cal rests his hand on your thigh, and he lets you sit in silence awhile. Even when you get back to his house, he lets you be. He doesn’t know what you need right now because he doesn’t know you that well.

But he’s happy when you seek him out. He’s out back with Duke and a beer. 

“Sorry.” You whisper, wrapping your arms around him. 

“I’m really not sure what for.” He kisses the top of your head. 

“Shutting down. It just… caught me off guard, what Fletch said.” 

“Remember he’s six, and he has no idea how that sounded to you. But also, it’s ok. People need time to process.” He chuckles. 

“I know, but everything with us is both new and potentially temporary. I hate that I wasted that time even if it was just a couple hours.” 

“Please don’t think of this as temporary. I know it’s easy too but I’m already thinking of ways to stay in you and Fletch’s lives.” Cal murmurs. 

“Cal.” You say pulling away. 

“It’s not ideal. And I know you’ll go back to Aus and it will make this infinitely more difficult. But I dunno. You’re worth it.” He shrugs. 

You cling a little tighter to him and he takes you to bed. 

Something feels a little off the next morning. It’s not Cal, but you can’t pinpoint it, so you have to go about your day. 

Cal takes you home and says he’ll come by later for dinner. You do some laundry and a little bit of packing, since the end of the trip is coming up. And then hit up the grocery store and sit down to do some work before Calum comes over. 

You check your phone in the late afternoon and there’s a text from Ash.

-fletch seems to be having a bad day 

-not everyday is puppies and rainbows with a six year old. What’s going on?

-he’s having a tantrum about eating :(

That gets you worried, Fletch loves to eat. 

-is he running a fever? 

-dont think so. Kay Kay checked it earlier said she thought it was normal. 

-ok. Great. Can YOU check it and let me know? 

-Kay Kay is actually really good with him… 36.5 c

-I don’t give a fuck if she’s the best ever. You’re his father. That’s normal. Ask him what’s wrong? You suggest before turning your phone over to get work done. 

You don’t check it again until after you and Cal have dinner, and are chatting over a glass of wine when it starts ringing incessantly. You finally pick it up and see that it’s Ash. 

“Hey ash. Everything ok?” You ask, making eye contact with Calum. 

“Fletch is having a meltdown and just screaming about how he wants his mom. I don’t know what to do. He doesn’t want anything to do with me so we’re on the way over.” He informs you and you can hear fletch screaming in the background. 

“Ok… we’ll see ya soon, I guess.” You shrug and hang up. “Fletch wants me.” You tell Cal. 

“Should I go?” He asks. 

“I don’t think so. Not yet anyway.” 

You can hear them coming when they get there. Fletch is still screaming all the way down the hall. “We’re almost there fletch. You will see your mom.” You hear Ashton outside the door. You set the wine down and wait for ash to open the door. 

“Momma.” Fletch sniffles, coming over to you. 

You pick him up and stroke the back of his head. “Hi bubba. What’s wrong?” You ask. 

“I thought you left me because i said I wanted to see dad more and momma I don’t want you to go.” He blubbers. 

“Bubba.” You coo, “I couldn’t leave without you. You’re my baby, what would I do without you.” 

“Please don’t leave.” He clings to you tightly. 

“I wouldn’t Fletch. Or you’d know and understand why and how long before I did. I’m not leaving you, baby.” You assure him. 

“We can go home momma, we don’t have to stay. Just don’t leave.” He cries harder. 

“Ohh… Fletch I need you to calm down bubba. We’ll figure out whether we’re gonna stay or go, but we’ll be together still.” 

You notice Ash is unmoved from near the door and Cal is kind of admiring you a moment. 

“I’m gonna go.” He comes by and whispers. 

“What? Why?” you ask. 

“You two need time together.” He kisses your cheek. “We’ll have time for the three of us soon.” You turn and look for for his lips, and he finally presses his to yours. “I’ll talk to you later. Night Fletch, hope you feel better bud.” 

Fletch huffs out a “bye uncle cal.” 

“You ok bubba?” You ask, after he’s calmed down considerably. 

“Can I stay with you?” He sniffles.

“Yeah bubba, you’ve always been able to stay with me.” You continue to hold him, walking around a little bit, trying to soothe him. You look to Ash, “did you bring any of his stuff?”

“No. I don’t even know why…. he just started screaming for you and I… panicked and brought him to you.” He wipes a hand over his face. You can tell looking at Ash that today had’t’ve been a hard day, he looks worn. You nod. 

“Baby, why don’t we get you in some pjs and we’ll snuggle up on the couch with dad and watch a movie before bed?” 

“Ok.” He sniffles. 

You luckily kept a few extra things for Fletch, and you let him get changed. He’s obviously tired when you head back out to the living room. Ash is sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. 

Fletch waits for you to sit and he sits right next to you, leaning into you. He taps ash and holds his hand out, ash looks and grabs it, and then grabs the remote. He lets out a breath you recognize as stress right after he turns the tv on. 

“What do you wanna watch, bubba?” He asks Fletch. 

Fletch looks up at you, “he asked you bubba, not me.” You chuckle. 

He only gets a quarter of the way into the movie before he’s asleep. You get about halfway through before you pick him up and put him in your bed. 

Ash has turned the movie off and is looking for something else. “Sorry I ruined your night.” He says quietly, watching you sit. 

“It’s ok.” You shrug. “Not every day is fun and easy. It’s good you got to see that. Sometimes plans get ruined because the kid comes first.” 

“What did you do if something like that happened? There’s no one else to take him too.” 

“He’s usually just tired, but since I haven’t been with him, I don’t know what the issue is.” You admit. 

“This hasn’t been easy, has it?” Ash asks, looking you over. 

“Ha. He told me the other night that he wanted to live here with you and kay Kay and grandma and aunt Lauren would visit him here and I’ll tell ya what… broke my fuckin heart.” You sigh. 

“Yeah, Cal mentioned that when he was over earlier.” Ash nods. 

“I just don’t think you understand this.” You shake your head, getting up to clean up after you and Cal. “It’s fun for you right? Because you’re getting to know each other and he’s at a super fun age. He has personality and he’s discovering how things work, and he’s curious. But you weren’t there for the hard stuff, when he was a baby and colicky and I was the only one around to take care of him, or figuring out how to go to school and work and still be there for him and get him daycare. Or figuring out how to feed him and also myself, buy diapers… and don’t even say if I would have told you…” you warn. 

“I know. I think it was an easy choice for you, and I can’t even say what I would have done if I was in your shoes because I never could be… but I’m here now and I know I didn’t know what to do tonight and truthfully I don’t think I’ve been following his schedule because I didn’t think it was that big of a deal.” He tries to explain, “but I want to know. I want to be able to handle this.” He sighs, “I told you I wanted to be apart of this and that means the good and the bad. Not just with him but you too.” Ash gets up and puts himself in front of you, “but you gotta stop heading me off all the time. I’m cool with whatever you and Cal are up to. I just want you to know I’m here and I wanna help you out and here would be easier but if it’s not right for you then we’ll work it out at home.” He shrugs, resting his hands on your shoulders. “I just need to learn. You didn’t inherently know how to do all of this.” He points out. 

“No, I didn’t. You’re right.” You nod. “It’s hard to let someone else in on this though.” You shrug. 

“Have you given any more thought to being here? I can help you find a job, you can stay here. I don’t use this place. We can find a great school for Fletch.” He gently tightens his hands. “Please, I just want a more permanent part of his life. And once you’re comfortable with the idea… I wanna be able to tell people he’s mine.” 

“For the sake of honesty… my company does have an offer out for me to stay.” You murmur. 

“No fucking way.” Ash looks excited, he pulls you in and squeezes your body against his. “I could be in Fletch’s life! What does Cal think? What do you think?” 

“Cal thinks I need to do what’s best for fletch and I.” You shrug. “I’m still undecided… though Fletch’s little plea to stay with dad wasn’t my favorite.” You admit. 

He sighs, drops his hands. “What is it? Why are you so reluctant? Just let me help. Let me be apart of your lives.” 

“You don’t get to just walk in and make decisions Ash! None of this has really been on my terms. I’m constantly giving because you’ve somehow made me feel guilty and the bad guy because I put you first, like I always have.” You're exasperated and you know you need to get away from him. You grab your phone and step out on the balcony, closing the door behind you to make it clear that Ash shouldn’t follow you. 

You check your phone for texts and you have one from Cal. 

-hope things are going ok and he sent a picture of duke. 

You reply with a sad face and your phone is immediately ringing. “Hey.” You say. 

“Ya ok, little one?” Cal asks, immediate concern. 

“Just getting into it with Ash again.” You shrug. “What are you up to?” You check. 

“We’re just watching some Tv before bed.” Cal starts. 

Ash peaks his head out the door, “maybe I should go.” He says. 

“Of course! Why not? That’s the easy thing to do.” You retort. 

“He’s asleep. You don’t want to talk to me…” he defends. 

“Ash you have to give me some fucking time ok? I’ve never had to co parent or deal with another adults feelings about things when it comes to fletch, I need some fucking time to process shit.” 

He sighs and he realizes, yeah, that’s probably right. “Ok. I’ll be inside.” He shrugs. 

“Don’t you need to get home to kay Kay anyway?” You roll your eyes.

“That doesn’t matter right now.” He says simply, shutting the door. 

You hold the phone back to your ear and sigh. “Want me to come back by?” Cal asks. “Sounds like you might need a buffer.” 

“Nah. No reason to put you in this. I probably just need to get it off my chest.” You sigh, letting your head roll back. 

“Ok. Well I wanna see you tomorrow.” 

“I wanna see ya too.” You grin a little. 

“Have a good night little one.” He says. 

“You too Cal.” 

You sit outside a little longer to let yourself cool down and then you get to your feet and go back inside. Ash has made himself comfortable, his shoes are off and he’d taken his jacket off finally. 

“I’m sorry.” You say quietly. 

“No… you were right. It’s a change for all of us and we all need to be patient with each other.” He’s just as quiet. 

“You said the right thing you know, about not going home to kay Kay right now.” 

“I told you I want him in my life and I have to make him a priority.” He nods. “And I have to keep in mind that you need to adjust too, but having him means including you, and taking into consideration your feelings on things. I’ll stay the night. I’ll be here in the morning if he wants to come back home with me.” He shrugs. 

“We just gotta keep talking to each other. I can’t read your mind anymore than you can read mine.” 

You end up asleep on the couch with Ash, when you wake up you don’t remember if you fell asleep at opposite ends but you sure as shit woke up at the same end, his arms tucked around you. You push away and stare at him, “what the hell irwin.” You groan. You get up and walk back to the room to check on fletch. He’s just playing by himself on the bed. “Hey Fletch, how ya feeling bubby?” You ask. 

“I feel better, mom.” He reaches his arms out for a hug and you give him one. “We should talk bubba.” You say, getting up to close the door. “You really wanna stay here?” 

“I wanna be close to dad.” 

“Ok but you wanna leave your friends and your school, and grandma?” 

“Grandma can visit, dad said so.” 

“Fletch this is a really big decision, and I’m glad you wanna tell me how you feel about it, but you know I still have to do what’s right for us, right?” 

“Ok mom.” He nods. “Am I going back to dads today?” 

“That’s up to you. Dads still here if you wanna go back home with him.” 

“What are you doing today?” He asks. 

“I was gonna see Calum.” You shrug. 

“Could I spend time with you today?” He asks, his curious eyes meet yours, and it’s a little surreal because Ash used to look at you that way. “And I can go to dad’s later?” 

“Of course, my love. Calum will wait.” 

“He can come too. I haven’t spent a lot of time with uncle Cal.” 

“Are you sure bubba?” You check and he nods. “Ok little monkey, why don’t you go tell dad what your plan is.” 

You follow him back out to the living room and he’d climbed on the couch with Ashton, who was holding him. “Of course you should spend the day with your mom. I know she misses you.” He whispers loudly to Fletch and kisses the top of his head. Fletch whispers something you can’t hear back and Ashton looks at him in disbelief, “I can never be mad about that bubba.” He assures him. “I love you Fletch.” 

“I love you too dad.” 

You grin. “Ash can you stay so I can get a quick shower?” You ask. 

“Yep. Maybe we’ll go out and get breakfast to bring back.” 

Fletch’s eyes light up, “mama loves pancakes!” 

“I know. We should get her some.” Ash agrees. 

“Alright well if dads gonna take you to get breakfast, we need to get you cleaned up.” You clap, and Fletch jumps right up. Ash helps him in the bathroom, wash his face and brush his teeth. You text Cal and let him know that you’ll be spending the day with Fletch and he was invited. 

He easily agrees and invites you over to his so Fletch could play with Duke if he wanted. 

When you get out of the shower you can hear the boys are back. “Hey dad? Do you think mom likes Calum?” 

“I do bud. I think she likes him a lot… help me set the table, Fletch.” Ash asks, handing him the plates. 

“Will that make you sad?” 

“No. Mom deserves to be happy and there isn’t anyone better in the world than you and uncle Cal.” 

“Do I like uncle Cal?” Fletch asks. 

“You get to make up your own mind on that. I like uncle Cal. He’s my best friend.” Ash explains, and you decide to spare him and come out dressed. 

“Mama!” Fletch smiles at you, “we got you pancakes!” He’s beaming. 

“Thanks love.” You smile and kiss him.

Clearing out my camera roll 5590/?

[wildflowerirwin]

everyones doing these and I want your thoughts. who are the 5sos babies and what are they like

okay so years ago I had a little universe of 5SOS and their kids and most of this is from then:

The Hemmings Children:

Bethany Jane: Oldest child, very shy and reserved, wants to be a nuclear engineer when she grows up or maybe a princess (until she’s older, then she decides to major in medical lab sciences), definitely in love with Teddy Irwin

Holly Anne: very outgoing, loves extracurricular activities and is part of too many to count (cheerleading, dance team, chess club, book club, key club, drama club, band choir and orchestra), definite daddy’s girl, wants to go into music therapy

Caden James:, always wants to hang out with “gramps” and read the newspaper, very into academics (he took 6 AP classes his freshman year of high school, though he doesn't like to brag), also on the lacrosse team

Spencer Robert: only 7.5 months younger than Caden (Luke couldn’t wait the 6 weeks and his wife needed an emergency c-section after a car accident), still very small from being premature, Caden’s best friend, 100% a momma’s boy, everyone thinks he and Caden are twins so they just say yes

The Irwin Children:

Theodore “Teddy” Fletcher: Oldest child, adores Bethany Hemmings, wants to be a botanist (eventually opens his own flower shop with Bethany after they’re married), doesn't take school seriously because he’s got dyslexia and none of his teachers have been very nice, goes on study dates with Bethany because she understands how to help

Presley Annabelle: Paisley’s twin, daddy’s girl, wants to be just like her dad and even starts a band with Paisley and Camilla Hood, likes to skip school to go to concerts (Ashton likes to go with her and they both agree not to tell mum)

Paisley Grace: Presley’s twin, incredibly sweet and gentle, has the hugest crush on Spenny Hemmings but is too shy to say anything, wants to be a neonatal nurse

The Hood Children:

Camilla Koa: Oldest child, loud and outgoing, never shuts up, has a new crush every day, prom queen, most popular girl in school, bestest friends with Bethany Hemmings though they run in different social circles at school, wants to be a sound engineer on her dad’s tour, plays bass in her band with Presley and Paisley Irwin

Carolina Joy: Complete copy of Calum, exactly the same mannerisms, same smile and laugh

Cameron Fletcher: Calum’s favorite bisexual (though he may be just a little biased), uncle Mike is her favorite uncle, loves to play video games, makes the best homemade pizza, wants to be a video game engineer and make her own games, learns how to code at a young age

Carter Mae: stereotypical girly girl, always has her hair and makeup done perfectly, always has flashy colors and designs on her nails, spends hours at the mall with Gwen Clifford, definitely has a crush on Preston Clifford though she can't tell Gwen that

Caelen David: the only Hood boy, adores his Auntie Mali and only ever wants to hear Mali sing, wants to be a singer but has very bad stage fright, likes to watch Camilla practice with her band

The Clifford Children:

Preston Anthony: exact opposite of Michael, sucks at all video games and hates playing them, loves to eat healthy foods and do yoga, not a dog person, very neat, loves being at school and learning new things, best friends with Caden and Spencer Hemmings

Guinevere “Gwen” Evangeline: best friends with Carter Hood, loves all things spooky, has a pet tarantula named Tantor that Michael refuses to look at, is always begging Michael for a pet snake, wants to be a zoologist or a veterinarian, adores animals, always brings home random animals and tries to see how long until Michael notices and makes her put them back in their natural habitats

[ukulelecal]

dad!sos | the kiddos

psa: none of this is really final, we can totally add on and expand and change!! so come chat with me about this lil universe thing, i’m so soft for dad!sos

The Hood’s:

Aroha Hood: looks exactly like Cal, shy at first but will open up, and this then super sweet, is affectionate, absolutely hates loud noises and crowds, loves to draw and always asks for art supplies for her birthday/christmas, has a lisp

Kai Hood: adopted, mixed, very tiny and short but hits a growth spurt when he’s older, a couple years younger than Aroha, looks up to his big sister, also affectionate like his sister, plays soccer like his dad and is definitely a star

The Irwin’s:

Kennedy Irwin: dancer, starts off just doing it for fun as a kid but does it competitively when she gets a little older, the motherly type, has problems sleeping as a baby and gets diagnosed with sleep apnea when she’s older

Finley and Alex Irwin: twins, girl and boy, Finley is a daddy’s girl whereas Alex is a momma’s boy, they’re both artsy and creative (Finley wants to play drums like her dad, Alex would want to play an orchestral instrument like cello)

Lennon Irwin: youngest of the Irwin’s, named after John Lennon, has curls like his dad, loves reading (when he’s old enough to) but he’s dyslexic so it’s hard for him, but everyone is very encouraging and helpful, very picky eater

The Hemmings’:

Rowan Hemmings: a bit of a troublemaker, can be loud and boisterous, but he’s really a big softie, has a stuffed lion that he won’t ever let go of, he has lots of interest in animals and always wants to go to the zoo

Theodore (Teddy) Hemmings: not a troublemaker like his older brother but more of a jokester, just likes to make people laugh, super social and chatty, can be friends with literally anyone, has super deep dimples

Eden Hemmings: the youngest and only girl of the Hemmings kids, Luke loves his boys just the same but was so ecstatic to have the little girl he always wanted, extremely shy and quiet, clingy to her dad, has hearing loss (of some sort) and got cochlear implants

The Clifford’s:

Nora Clifford: sassy, more of a tomboy, she likes pink and tutus and all that when she’s really little but grows out of it pretty fast and prefers other things, has a really good singing voice but never shows it off, even though Michael encourages her to

Logan Clifford: the kid who always manages to injure himself, super clumsy, but he’s kind of like Teddy in liking to be goofy (watch out when those two are together!)

Angel(LH)

Summary: Angst with Dad!Luke Words: 1.4K Warnings: cursing, mention of death

“Look daddy!” Aria screamed as she made her way to where Luke sat with Michael and Calum, their boys sitting down at the same table with her.

“What is it baby?” He cooed and crouched down to meet her eyes, the strawberry blonde curls bouncing along with her.

“I drew a picture of you and mommy. Like the one in our house.” Michael and Calum’s faces changed as they watched Luke’s eyes go sad while he looked at his daughters picture.

“It’s beautiful sweetheart.” He stayed in place when Calum got up, taking the little girls hand to lead her back to the drawing table.

“Why don’t you draw one for uncle Calum? One of Duke, yeah?” Aria smiled widely as Santi and her began to draw doodles of their dogs.

“It’s been five years and I still cry every time Aria mentions her.” Luke sighed as he sat back down, Michael patting his shoulder.

“It’s normal, man. She wanted this, you know that she was aware of the risks but she gave you a beautiful daughter.”

“I know Mikey, but that doesn’t change the fact that Aria is a spitting image of her minus the curls. Her eyes, her smile.They’re just like hers.” A tear spilled past his eyes as he remembered the day that Aria was born. It was supposed to be the best day of his life, the day his second love would be born. Not the day he gained an angel.

*There was an eerie silence around Luke as he sat with his face on his hands, the tears spilling on the floor as his sobs and the loud beeping of hospital machines were the only things that could be heard along with her labored breathing. He lifted his head and leaned back while he sighed and got up, making his way to the small baby crib that sat in the room. It was the first time he saw her. His babygirl was lying peacefully sleeping, waddled in a pink blanket with a pink beanie on.

“Hi, sweet baby.” The tears began to spill again as he traced his fingers on the small nose and cheeks, taking in her features that were just like hers. His heart swelled with joy and sadness at the same time.

“Isn’t she beautiful?” She spoke up, her voice horse as she tried to move but her body would not allow it.

“You want to hold her?” Luke asked as he picked up the baby, sitting on the the edge of the bed.

“Don’t cry, Lu.” The words came out as a whisper as she took in a deep breath, her lungs constricting as the air tried to go in and out “We wanted this. We talked about it.”

“We never thought that it would come to this though. I’m supposed to be driving my girls home right now. We’re supposed to be having Christmas dinner at the Irwins and everyone is supposed to be there to meet Aria.” Luke sobbed as one hand held her cold fingers and the other one cradled his baby to his chest.

“Promise me that you’ll still go have dinner with Ashton and Ally. That Santi, Nolan and Justine will get to meet their cousin on Christmas Eve and that everyone will love her like we knew they would.” She took in a gasp as her hand flew to her chest, the machines beeping like crazy as she coughed. Luke put the baby back in the crib, loud cries coming her as she felt the panic in the room when he began to yell.

“I need a nurse! I need a fucking nurse or doctor in here!” He pressed the button on the bed remote then yelled out the doors, frantic for someone to come help him “Please, help.” His cries were desperate as he continued yelling with tears in his eyes. Her body convulsed as she gasped for air, the oxygen not making it to her lungs.

Dr Fowler, the young doctor who had been the one to treat her, barged in with a nurse and began to place the oxygen mask on her as they surrounded her and pushed Luke and Aria out of the way, doing everything in their power to help the girl on the bed.

“Sir, we have to move you of the room.” The nurse looked at him with sorrow in her eyes.

“She’s my wife! I need to know what’s going on!” His screeches made Aria’s cries become louder.

“Sir, please. She has to be rushed to surgery and you need to take care of your daughter.” Aria was being pushed in his arms along with a bottle as they took him to the waiting room.

It seemed that everything was against him in the moment, but when he looked at the little baby in his arms, he became aware of what it meant to be selfish. He understood what it meant when people talked about loving someone so much that you give everything for them. She had given her life for her daughters. The girl he loved with his whole heart had given her everything to give Luke a child. They had discussed it before but he always shut her down.

Luke wanted to have children, of course he did. But the thought of losing the one he loved made him fearful. The heartbreak he would go through if she died was something he could never imagine, but now as he sat in a white waiting room while she was in surgery and fearing for her life, his heart hurt. It hurt because he knew that one would ever replace her. The smile she gave him when he came home from tour or the studio. No one would ever replace her giggle as he kissed her forehead while her hair blew in the wind. Her love for him would never be topped off. Aria would grow up without someone to call mom and run to. She would never be alone, Luke knew that.

He watched Aria sleep in his arms after she drank her bottle, her cries slowing down while he cooed to her and let her know how much he loved her and that he would be there for her every day of her life.

“Mr. Hemmings?” Dr Fowler walked towards him as he removed the surgery cap from his head. Luke rushed out of his seat holding, the baby grumbling as he held her tightly.

“Yes? Is she alright? How was the surgery?” He towered over the doctor as the words all jumbled out of his mouth, his heart racing as he saw the sadness in the doctor.

“I’m so sorry. We tried everything we could. Her lungs had become so full of water, and she had a hematoma when we tried to take it all out. The birth might ha-” Luke wanted to punch him. He wanted to scream at him and ask him why they hadn’t done more. She could have been here with him, enjoying their new daughter. He fell to the floor as Dr Fowler took Aria from him and watched him punch the wall, then slid down to sit with his face in his hands sobbing some more. The nurses helped him up after watching him cry, taking him and the baby to a grieving room in a different floor in the hospital. He texted the boys as she had been in surgery, Ashton and Ally showing up first. Ally took Aria and let them talk as Luke cried and sobbed until he had fallen asleep on Ashton’s lap.*

“Daddy? Are you okay?” Aria asked as she went back to him to show him her drawing of Petunia and Duke, interrupting his thoughts “Why are you crying?”

“I’m alright, sweetheart.” Luke picked her up without a word as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a tight hug.

“Were you thinking about momma?” She asked in a whisper, low enough for Mikey and Calum to not hear “I miss her too, daddy.” Luke never hid anything from Aria, telling her that mommy was an angel that took care of them from heaven every day. When she pulled away, he smiled at her and kissed her forehead.

“I miss her loads, but remember that she’s and angel that’s always watching us and is in here.” He pointed to her heart as they lovingly smiled at each other and his heart swelled more as he watched Aria go back and play.

*Warnings*: Mentions of miscarriage, cute dad!Ashton, babysitter Luke, y’all have a son named Oliver

Summary: You and Ashton have been dating for years and you now have a nineteen-month-old son and you haven’t had a date night since before he was born. In comes Uncle Lu to watch the little tot while you and Ash go out

Masterlist  Wanna be tagged?

     Date night. It was something you and Ashton used to have at least once a week. Sometimes more or less depending on his tour schedule. It was one of the things you had looked forward to the most because those were nights the two of you could get out and just be you two again. Sometimes Ashton took you to fancy restaurants that he paid extra to make sure fans or paparazzi didn’t find out you would be there. Sometimes Ashton took you to the McDonald’s drive-thru and you guys sat and ate in the car outside of the house forever. Recently, there haven’t been as many date nights. It wasn’t that you and Ashton were fighting or anything, you had a baby. You loved your little Oliver with all your heart but he was about nineteen months old right now and you were exhausted. Luckily tour had ended a month or so before you gave birth so Ashton was home to help you since Oli was born. But, the two of you hadn’t had a date night in almost two years and you missed them. Ashton had expressed to you how much he missed them as well; so, with that, the hunt for a babysitter began. You knew you could ask the neighbors or use one of those websites but you were worried about people sending out personal information about you guys or your son. That’s what happened when you have a child with a famous man. Now was when you wished you lived closer to family that could watch the little guy but no one was close enough. The only people close were the boys. It’s not that you didn’t trust them, you just didn’t trust them. You and Ashton have been searching since Oliver was ten months but no one seemed good enough. At this point, you were tempted to hire a nanny. You were brought out of your thoughts by the sounds of Oliver’s laugh. The boys were over visiting and currently Luke and Oliver were playing.

     “Come on Ash! One of us or all of us are fit to take care of Oli!” Michael laughed and threw his arm around your shoulders. “You guys need a date night and some adult conversations. Let one of us watch the little man.”

     You smiled at Michael and glanced over at your boyfriend of four years. He looked to be entertaining the idea of the boys watching his son; while Ashton thought, you looked back at your son. He looked just like Ashton. Oli had the same curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and adorable little nose. In your eyes, Oliver was perfect and no one could change your mind. You watched as he giggled as Luke grabbed him under the arms and threw him up into the air and caught him on the way down. Oliver let out a little squeal that soon turned to a scream. “I think this means boob please!” Luke yelled over the screaming, sending Ashton off to grab a bottle to heat up. It was close to his bedtime so he was ready for a bottle and to be put down.

     “He doesn’t get boob anymore Luke! He just gets a bottle! Those puppies are all mine!” Ashton called from the kitchen, causing you to roll your eyes and Michael to crack up. He came back into the living room, sending you a wink before he grabbed Oliver from Luke and went upstairs to put him to sleep.

     Luke came to sit on the other side of you and smiled. “Yeah, Y/N. I really think one of us could watch Oli no problem. Maybe not Calum.” He snorted and gestured over to Cal who had been asleep in the chair for an hour.

     “I’ll talk to Ash. Thank you guys for offering though. You guys are the best.”

          You and Ashton had spent almost a week talking about having one of the boys babysit Oli and you finally came to a decision. In less than an hour, Luke would be over to watch Oliver while you and Ashton had a date night. It might not have seemed like an obvious choice to pick Luke but you had seen the way Luke played with Oli and how much your son enjoyed spending time with his Uncle Lu. Not to mention you had Michael on call in case Luke needed extra help. Ashton came up behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist. You glanced at him through the mirror and sighed. “What if something goes wrong?”

     Ashton kissed your shoulder and spun you to face him. “It won’t Doll. Luke will be fine. And if anything were to happen, which it won’t, Michael is ready to come over.”

     You sighed and rested your hands on his shoulders. “I really hope so.”

     Ashton smirked and leaned in to kiss you but the sound of your son’s voice stopped him. “Daddy!” The squeal that erupted from Oliver’s lips when Ashton picked him up make your heart swoon. Ashton peppered kisses all over his son’s face as you stopped to take a picture. At the sound of the doorbell, you ran downstairs and opened the door to find Luke with a bright smile and a teddy bear bigger than Oli.

     “This is for the little tyke. I hope he likes it.” Luke set the bear on the couch and looked towards the stairs to see Ashton helping Oliver down the stairs.

     “He’s gonna love it since it came from his Uncle Lu.” Ashton laughed and watched Oliver run over to Luke and grasp onto his legs. “Ok, Oliver didn’t have a nap today so he will be tired. Usually, his bedtime is seven but since he didn’t nap you can probably get him to go down at 6:30 if you try. There’s a bottle in the fridge, all you have to do is heat it up. We usually set it in warm water for no more than ten minutes.”

     “If he gets fussy, start making the bottle. You can ask him if he’s tired and he might tell you ‘yes’ but he’s gonna avoid sleeping for as long as he can. Make sure to change his diaper and pjs before bed. Rock him in the rocking chair while he drinks his bottle and sing to him. Then just put him in bed.” You grabbed your coat off of the rack and smiled at Oliver who had plopped himself down at Luke’s feet and began to play with his shoelaces.

     Luke stared at both of you with wide eyes as he tried to process all of the information he was just told. “Anything else?”

     “Yeah, if he wakes up, try to rock him back to sleep. Ashton usually sings him Close As Strangers when he wakes up in the middle of the night.” You turned to see Ashton standing at the open door.

     “Call us if you need anything Luke. Or call Michael.” Ashton wrapped his arm around your waist and smiled. “We should be home by nine.”

     Luke grabbed Oliver in his hands and brought him over so the two of you could say goodbye before you left. After many kisses on Oli’s chubby cheeks, the two of you set out ready for date night.

     Luke closed the door behind the two of you and smiled down at Oliver. “Alright pal, we have half an hour before I’m expecting you to get tired. What do you wanna do?”

     “Puppy!” Oliver squealed and pointed to the bookcase.

     “That’s a bookcase dude.” He set Oliver down on the ground and watched him run over to the books and pull out one with a puppy on the cover. “Oh, I get it. Puppy. Alright, let’s get to reading.”

     “Do you think he’s ok?”

     “I’m sure Oli is fine baby.” Ashton answered as he looked at the menu in front of him.

     “I meant Luke. Do you think Oliver is being too difficult? Maybe we should call Luke and check on him.” You sighed and set the menu down, not very hungry now.

     “Honey, he’s fine. Don’t worry about Luke. We’ve been gone for only twenty minutes. Oliver has probably been having Luke read to him the whole time. This is a date night for us to have adult conversations.” He reached over the tabled and grabbed your hand in his. “We can get ice cream after dinner if you want it.”

     With a small sigh, you smiled up at Ashton. “You know I can’t say no to ice cream.” Ashton seemed to think you finally had your mind off of your son as he went back to looking at the menu but he was wrong. What if Luke dropped Oliver? What if Oliver poked Luke in the eye and Luke needed to go to the hospital? What if someone broke into the house and stole Oliver?

     “Hey, I can’t read minds but I can read faces. You’re worried.”

     “How are you not worried?”

     “I trust Luke with my life. I trust him with Oli. You should too.” Ashton sighed and smiled up at the waiter who had come to take your order. “I’m sure they’re fine.” He mumbled after the young girl left.

     “Momma!” Oliver screamed once again as Luke tried to hand him the bottle. Oliver’s chubby little hands smacked the bottle out of his face and watched it fall to the ground.

     “Mommy is gonna be home soon. You need to drink your bottle if you want to see her.” Luke had been bribing the small child for almost fifteen minutes, trying to get him to drink the bottle. He suddenly had no idea how you and Ashton took care of Oliver and made it look so easy. Luke managed to change Oliver without too much of a hassle, thank god. Luke did not want to get baby pee on him. But giving him his bottle, was a whole different story.

     “No!” Oliver then took off down the hall, running away from Luke. With a groan, Luke took off after Oliver for the tenth time that night.

     After a few minutes of chasing his nephew, Luke scooped him up in his arms and bounced him around a little, seeing how Oliver rubbed his eyes. “Please drink your bottle buddy. If you drink it Momma and Daddy will be home sooner.”

     Something must have clicked because with that, Oliver grabbed the bottle and quickly began drinking it. Finally, something was going right. Luke sat down in the rocking chair and began rocking back and forth, singing Oliver to sleep. Once Oli was asleep, Luke leaned his head against the chair and closed his eyes. Now all he had to do was transfer Oliver into his crib which sounded pretty easy in theory but Luke couldn’t be sure that transferring him wouldn’t wake him up. So, he sat there for almost twenty minutes, rocking Oliver to make sure he was sleeping before he carefully stood and lowered Oli into his crib. Oliver wiggled a little bit and Luke held his breath as he watched the small child move around. Luckily, he continued to sleep and once Luke pulled the side of the crib up, he would hopefully be done for the night.

     “Do you remember the first time I kissed you?” Ashton asked with a laugh as he threw his arm around your waist, leading you through the park with your ice creams in hand.

     “How could I forget? It was 2015 and you guys won the ARIA for best Australian Live Act. You got so excited about the win that you kissed me. I didn’t even know what to think or do.” You answered with a laugh, smiling at the memory.

     “Ah, but what you don’t know is I had been trying to work up the courage to ask you out for months. It was that day that I decided I would ask you out after the show. Of course, I was not expecting to have already kissed you but, it went well.” Ashton took a lick of his ice cream before switching with you so you could get a taste of his and he could have some of yours.

     “Since apparently, this park has memory lane,” you stopped to smile when Ashton laughed at your joke, “do you remember when we found out we were pregnant with Oli?”

     Ashton smiled and took you to sit on a park bench. “Of course I do. That was the best day of my life. We weren’t trying for a baby but we weren’t preventing anything. You hadn’t been feeling good the past few weeks so I took you to the doctor and we didn’t even think you could be pregnant. So, when the doctor asked if we had unprotected sex, the gears started turning. They did a test and that’s when we found out we would be parents.”

     “You cried like a baby.” Ashton giggles at your words and pulled you to sit on his lap.

     “Can you blame me? I just learned I would be a dad, finally.”

     The two of you sat in comfortable silence for a while, just enjoying spending some time together. It had been so long since you two had time to yourselves, you didn’t know what to talk about. Of course, the lack of talking was fine too but it allowed your mind to wander. Oliver wasn’t your first pregnancy. You and Ashton had gotten pregnant the year before you were expecting Oliver. The baby hadn’t made it past the first trimester and it really hurt you and Ashton. So of course, when you found out you were pregnant again, you took every precaution to make sure he would be safe. Once you passed the point of hiding your growing bump, you finally told everyone. You also broke the news that this wasn’t your first pregnancy. Everyone was so supportive of you two which made everything a lot easier. Maybe that’s why you didn’t think a babysitter would ever be good enough for Oli.

     “What are you thinking about?” Ashton asked softly, bringing you from your thoughts.

     “Oli could have been a younger brother.” At your words, Ashton wrapped his arms around your waist and pulled you onto his lap, your head on his chest.

     “I know baby.” He kissed the top of your head, hands rubbing your back. “I’m so sorry this happened to you.”

     “It happened to you too Ash.” You mumbled as you pulled away from his chest to get a better look at him.

     “I know but it was your body that went through it. I wish I could have stopped it or helped you. I’m so sorry.” Ashton took the miscarriage hard as well. You knew he wanted a big family and he thought he was going to get started on that when suddenly his dream was crushed. The possibility of being a dad was ripped out of his hands and thrown away. He spent the first few months after the miscarriage with you, making sure you were ok. It wasn’t until after he felt you were fine, he began going through his own grieving process. The boys were a huge help during that time. “But now we have Oli and he’s the best son I could have ever asked for.”

     “I love you. You’re the best boyfriend and father to Oliver.”

     “And I love you. I can’t imagine my life without you.” Ashton smiled down at you, his hand coming to rest on your cheek as he leaned down, pressing his lips softly to yours. He rested his forehead on yours and smiled, kissing your nose.

     “I want another. I know it’s soon and Oli is still so young and it will be hard to have a toddler and a newborn but...”

     Ashton shook his head as he pulled back to see your face. “I don’t think it’s too soon. We can start trying. But first, let’s go home and see our boy.”

     “Oliver, are you kidding me?” Luke whined as he bounced the child in his arms. Oliver had woken up only after sleeping for a little more than an hour. Luke had been rocking him for the past 45 minutes, hoping and praying that the kid would go to sleep before you and Ashton came home. “Do you want me to sing you a song?”

     Oliver’s cries slowly died down as he nodded. “Daddy song.” Luke had no idea what that meant until he remembered your words before you left.

     “Ok, I’ll sing Daddy’s song.” Luke pushes Oliver’s hair out of his eyes and softly began to sing. “Six weeks since I’ve been away, and you’re saying everything has changed and I’m afraid that I might be losing you.”

     It didn’t take long for Oliver to fall asleep once more after Luke began singing. He laid the small boy back into the crib and once he was sure he was asleep, he wandered down to the living room and laid down on the couch, ready to pass out. In fact, he almost fell asleep until he heard the sound of the front door opening. Luke didn’t even bother to move as you and Ashton stepped into the house.

     “Hey Luke.” Ashton smiled, taking in the sight of one of his best friends on the couch. “How did it go?” He took your coat off of your shoulders and hung it on the rack.

     “Pretty good I would say. He fell asleep at seven since he was avoiding me and he stayed asleep for an hour before he woke up again. It took another hour to get him back to sleep but he’s sleeping now.”

     You smiled and once Luke was standing, you walked over and wrapped your arms around his middle. “Thank you, Lu. Really. Thank you.”

     Luke smiled up at Ashton and kissed your cheek. “Anything for the mother of my favorite nephew.”

     “He’s your only nephew, for now at least.” At Ashton’s words, you turned to look at your boyfriend with a smile. “Want to take Oli to the park next week so we can work on baby’s number two?”

     “Only if Michael puts him to bed next time.”
