Co- parenting Isn't always the easiest of jobs, especially when you only just found out you have a child. How do you adjust so quickly to parenthood whilst also trying to get along with your ex?
I felt so bad for all that I had put Addison and Blake through, I was such a dick. I had to deeply make it up to them, it's the least I could do.
Bryce: I'm so sorry, what can I do to make it up to you? Addison: stay here with us Bryce: that would be an honour Blake: dada, day?(stay) Bryce: yes I am baby, and im sorry daddy hurt you Blake: dat otay, Wiley did Bryce: I know she did and daddy isn't going to let her get away with it! •turns to addi• do you forgive me? Addison: well if Blake does then I will •hugs him• Bryce: thank you •kisses her head• what if I take you both out for ice cream? Blake: yeshhhhh Addison: •giggled• sounds good Bryce: •grabs her hand• come on then Addison: Blake's in pyjamas •laughs• Bryce: oh shoot I will get her changed •laughs• Addison: good idea •giggles• Blake: noooo ouchie Bryce: I won't hurt it I promise princess Addison: Blakey daddy will do it just like mommy does, very gently okay? Blake: otay..
I got Blake's changed and I was very careful and she was fine, she looked adorable!

Addison POV//
Bryce is taking Blake and I for ice cream, I do forgive him because I know he is truly sorry and he would never intentionally hurt us like that. For the benefit of Blake, I want us to be on good terms. We were right now in the car driving and Blake had fallen asleep, I wasn't surprised as she barely napped today but I was a little concerned because it was 3pm meaning she might not sleep later however it's Friday so maybe we could have a little movie night? We reached the ice cream place but Blake was not gonna wake up.
Bryce: •looks in his mirror• oh damn it, she's asleep Addison: yeah but if you want we can put her in the stroller and go shopping before she wake up Bryce: shopping? Clothes shopping? Nah I didn't sign up for that •laughs• Addison: oh please •pouty face• pretty please Bryce: ugh you win me over with that face every single time, fine Addison: yayy •giggles•
We got out of the car and Bryce set up Blake's stroller and I slowly moved her from the car seat into the stroller without making any sudden movements. I successfully got her in and we began to walk down Melrose.
Addison: hey we should do a game where you pick an outfit for Blake? Bryce: yeah!! Where should we do it? Addison: well Zara has good baby clothes or H&M Bryce: we will go Zara! Addison: ok
We walked into Zara and I took Bryce to the baby clothes bit (I'm pretty sure baby clothes go up to like 3 years in some places, idk tho)
Addison: right pick out an outfit for Blake Bryce: let's go
Bryce starts looking at random things that I do not like. He then finds something cute.
Bryce: overalls? •shows addison• Addison: I like that one Bryce what size is she? •looks at tags• not 9 months, not 3 years, they don't have her size! Addison: do they have 18 months? Bryce: nope Addison: ok next
We move on and then he finds a weird dress.
Bryce: little outfit for winter •laughs• Addison: that's so ugly Bryce: I know •puts it back• Bryce: wow look at that jacket •walks to it and sees the price• $49 dollars on clothes for my kid? Addison: she's just gonna get that super messy Bryce: yeah no I'm not wasting my money, what about this skirt •picks it up• Addison: she owns that •laughs• Bryce: she does?! •Addison giggles• of course she does
Jeez this man takes so long to shop
Bryce: little turtleneck •holds it up and chuckles• Addison: why did I suggest you do this •laughs•
Finally after forever he actually picks up some cute pants.
Bryce: so I'm thinking this and... •walks over to a rail of clothes and picks up and oversized sweater• and this? Addison: no that's really cute, I approve Bryce: oh my god I did it! Addison: yeah now let's pay before you change your mind Bryce: wait Im checking if they are all 18 months in size •looks• yep perfect
Bryce POV//
Addison and I did a little bit more shopping before Blake woke up, she had a little snack addison had brung for her and then we went back to the ice cream shop?
Bryce: Blakey what flavour do you want? Blake: pinkkk! Addison: thats bubblegum flavour you might no like it? Shall we do Oreo instead? Blake: ya pees(please) Bryce: ok and addi? Addison: mint choc chip please? Bryce: cool, I'm gonna get reeses
We got our ice cream and sat down and ate, this afternoon had been fun little family time and I was very happy about it!
