Luke Hemmings' Daughter

Day with Uncle Calum

Calums p.o.v July 7, 2023

I trudged up the stairs to my nieces room. "Happy birthday, bug." I whispered to a still sleeping Lyliah. She squirmed in her sleep and her eyes fluttered open. "Hey, pretty brown eyes." She giggled and covered her blushing face. "Tired." She groaned. I chuckled at how adorable she is. "Where's Luke, Cal?" I smoothed down her unruly bed curls. "Him and the others went to an interview, so I volunteered to watch you." She nodded. "What're we gonna do today?" I pondered. "Jam session!!" We both yelled. I laughed at how in sync our thoughts were. "Best niece ever." She giggled. "I try, I try." We both dashed down to the studio room in the basement. Liah grabbed Luke's black electric guitar while I grabbed mine. We played 'heartbreak girl', 'teenage dirt bag', 'rejects', and I played our first big single. It reminds me of Lyliah. Liah played back up on that one. "That's officially our song, Cal." I nodded. By now, it was noon and we were both worn out and hungry. "Pizza?" She nodded. "Pizza." I called and ordered four large Pizzas, two for us and two for the other boys. We ate and played video games, which she beat me every time at. "Mikey will be extremely proud." I stated after a while of comfortable silence. "Why is that?" I put my palm on her shoulder. "You slay with a controller, you rock out like a star, and you swallow almost two pizzas. You will be his favourite. Just walk around with a snap-back on and say 'I do what I want, I'm punk rock.' Ok?" She grinned and nodded. "Can we invite Alex Gaskarth over?? Pleaseeee??" I raised my brow. "Alex would so like you." I nodded and dialed the all too familiar number.
(A-Alex C-Calum)
A- Hello?
C- Hey, hows it goin'?
A- All good n' well. Why?
C- I may or may not have an ATL fan here who just happens to be Luke's baby girl.
A- He got a girlfriend?! That brat never told us!
C- More like a daughter that he just found. But could you make a trip to see her?
A- Heck yeah! I'll be over shortly.
C- Thanks! Gotta go, little miss wants attention.
A- Alrighty. See ya soon.

I hung up and put a frown on. "He has stuff to do today, bug, sorry." She pouted and stomped her foot. "I'm punk rock and punks get what they want." I grinned. "You make me proud!!" She rolled her brown eyes. "Whatever. I'm gonna go jam for a bit." She stood up and went back to the studio. I stood beside the door and recorded her jamming out. I recognized the tune to 'close as strangers' and smiled when she started belting out lyrics. 'I honestly would pay to go hear her in concert' I thought to myself. I posted it on instagram with the caption 'Luke's daughter sure can rock out!! #babyrocker'. I heard the guitar being set down and high tailed into the game room. I herd the drums being slapped by sticks and the awesome music poured. I recorded and sent it to Ash right as she finished and grabbed Mike's guitar. She jammed, I recorded. I later sent both that video, and the one of her with Luke's guitar to both boys. Mike texted me to bring Liah for her surprise. They didn't have an interview, but had a party to fix up. Alex strolled in like he owned this place right before we left. "Alex!!!" Liah squealed and dropped from my arms. "Hey munchkin!!" He yelled just as loud. "Is this her Calum?!" I nodded. "I'm Luke's daughter." Alex nodded, "So I've heard. How old are you?" She held up eight fingers. "I'm seven today!" Alex grinned and held her up on his hip. "Happy birthday, munchkin!" She grinned. "I'm punk rock, I'll do what I want!" Alex set her down and doubled over with laughter. "I see Micheal took her under his wing." She shook her head 'no'. "Cal told me that would make him happy." Alex nodded, "Extremely! He always wanted younger siblings to spoil, so now god gave him you!" Her face went to pure horror. "CALUM, WHERES BAILON!?!?!?" She screamed. "My roo-" She dashed upstairs and came back clutching a whimpering Bailon. "Who's the baby, cal?" Alex asked while watching Liah with Bai bai. "Its the baby that came with Liah. Hes almost a year old." He visibly relaxed when I didn't say 'Oh, my son!' I watched Liah mumble sweet things to him and grinned when she said "I love you more than Pizza, more than anything." Alex got it all recorded and sent it to all of us boys. "Can I see him, munchkin?" Liah nodded and carefully walked over. "Sit on the couch, Don't drop him, don't wiggle, hold his head, and..Just don't move." Alex whistled under his breath. "OK then, Little mama." She glared at him and sat as close to him as possible. "Hey little man. Its uncle Alex!!" I smiled at them and quickly snapped a picture. In the process, I found I had an email from instagram. Congrats!! Your video has broken a record! It read. I checked which video and immediately grabbed Liah. "Babe, I kinda recorded you in the studio and put it on instagram. You were singing and it was amazing. Long story short, you broke a record. Nicki minaj had one million views over twenty-four hours, you got three hundred million views in two hours." Alex's eyes bugged and he gasped. "THIS KID IS AWESOMEE!!" Luke called and said they were home to get her because I didn't bring her to them. "Go tell your dad, bug!" She was bouncing in her seat before she ran off, screaming "Luke!! I broke an instagram record!!" I chuckled at her enthusiasm in the situation. Luke came through the door with a Cheshire grin on his face, a grin that only his daughter can put there. "Baby, I'm so proud of you! Liah buried her face in Luke's neck. "Thanks daddy." Luke teared up big time. This was the first time shes called him dad instead of just Luke. Not even five minutes later, every phone in the house went to ringing. "Ughhh!" We all groaned in unison. And the torture begins!!
