     Bentley had given me her number and I didn’t even have to ask. She told me to call her whenever I needed anything, which I was doing right now. Two rings and she picks up immediately. I know she can hear the crying from the sighing noise she makes on her line.

     “I fed it, changed it, tried to wave toys in front of it. Nothing, it’s still crying. The guys left because they won’t even help me,” I let out. I still don’t understand how I can’t handle one fucking kid, who I still didn’t name.

     “First off Austin, it’s a human being so call it a her. And name the kid already because you can’t keep calling it it,” Bentley says, and I can hear the aggravation in her tone. But she laughs it off soon after. “Plus, did you even hold her yet or are you just being too much of a pussy?”

Alright, I had to admit she was right.

     “Please, can you just come over?” I let out, glancing over at my daughter who sat on the couch crying her eyes out. She was fidgeting and waving her hands around. I could even see she was growing some brown hair just like her daddy. Just like me.

I smile at the thought, but soon wipe it off when I hear Bentley speaking.

     “I was already on my way over,” she says, and I can sense a smile in her tone. “Don’t think about her name too long. I already named her yesterday,” she chuckles.

“What?” I ask, confused.

     “If you didn’t notice on the back of her onesie it read Madison Ava. Your kid’s name is Madison Ava Mahone, Austin. And if you can’t look at that kid and smile at the name choice then are you really going to be a good father? There’s always adoption centers who will take her.”

     I look over at the little girl again. My Madison. And I’m smiling. I’m really smiling at her. I’d never give her up because even if I thought she was a mistake, she was my mistake. She was all mine. Even though her crying is the most annoying fucking thing in the word, I got use to it. Of course, I wish she was more peaceful, but she looks like a Madison.

     “I’m guessing your smiling. I’ll be over in a few,” Bentley says before hanging up the phone and leaving me to stare at my daughter, Madison.

     She was right about me never picking her up. I always made Rob or Alex do it. Zach refused too, but the other guys were fine with it. Except today they were annoyed with my not wanting to be a father bullshit.

I had to grow some balls and just hold her.

     I walk over, staring down at Madison. She was pretty cute. I don’t get why I wouldn’t want to hold her. I do love kids, don’t get me wrong, but raising one was just another story. But I had to get use to it because I wasn’t going to give her up.

     I slide my hand underneath her, picking her up smoothly. I move my arm to under her little butt, and bounce her a bit. I honestly don’t know what I did, but Madison was soon giggling and smiling. She was even reaching out to touch my face. She even was tugging on my ears, and smiling. She didn’t have any teeth so it was a pretty funny sight and even though she was getting drool all over my white t-shirt I didn’t mind. I use my free hand to place the burp cloth there, just in case to felt a little sick.

     I was smiling down at my beautiful daughter now. She looks just like me, and it gave me the chills. She was definitely mine, and I was happy. I felt happy about this whole thing and I might go broke as the days go on, but I’d make it work. I had lots of money saved up anyways, and right now I was studying to be a music teacher. Maybe Madison is going to be a singer, just like I am.

Madison Mahone at Madison Square Garden. That’d be my baby.

      I kiss her forehead as I continue to bounce her. She rests her hand down on the clean burp blanket, and before I realize it she’s asleep. Thankfully the door is always open when Bentley comes over. She’s been over a lot this past week, but only for Madison. I’d offer her to stay for dinner, but she’d deny it. Leading me to believe she wasn’t interested.

It sucks too, because Rob kept trying to make moves on her ever since she denied the first time.

      “I see you finally held her,” I hear Bentley’s hushed voice. I look over, smiling like an idiot probably.

     “Yeah, you were right though. I should’ve done this a long time ago,” I admit to her as she takes a seat on the couch in front of me. She smiles up at the sight of Madison and me. Even I am still smiling because I was in a room with too beautiful girls.

“Oh, I’m always right,” she says, causing me to chuckle softly.

     I excuse myself to go put Madison in her crib that Uncle Alex got her. Uncle Alex… Wow. I think it’s great knowing my four best friends would be uncles to my daughter. I could have a family because I always did want one, and it may have happened quicker then I thought, but that’s okay.

     I lay Madison down in her crib, smiling down at her for a moment. I think I got so distracted staring at her that Bentley now watched from the door frame. I glance over to see Bentley smiling. She then walks over, and goes behind me to rub my arms up and down.

“You’re going to be a good dad, Austin,” she says to me.

     I never thought I’d be a good dad, but hearing Bentley say that made me very happy. “You know, you should stay for dinner just in case Madison wakes up and starts crying again,” I say softly.

“Once again using your kid to pick me up,” she lets out with her faint laugh.

      “Oh come on, stay. The guys are out and I’d rather not eat Chinese take out alone,” I say, turning around to look down at her. She smiles a bit, but nods.

“Fine.”
