Liah's p.o.v

Daddy woke me up, saying that Bailon wouldn't stop crying. I unbuckled and stormed inside of the strange home. "Bailon!! My baby!!" I picked up the baby and held him close to my chest. "Lucas, who's that?" Daddy glared at uncle Ben. "My daughter, c'mere Liah." I shyly walked over and stood behind daddy's leg. "Princess, he won't hurt you." I peaked my head out and waved at my uncle. "Hey, cutie pie. Sorry for scaring you, but Lucas never tells me anything." I glared at daddy for not telling my uncle about me. Dad smoothed my hair out. "How old is she?" Dad grinned, "She's six." Uncle Ben stared at daddy and me. "Mariah?" Dad nodded and wiped his eyes at the mention of my mum. "It's OK, Daddy, I miss her too. A whole bunch." Ben smile a sad smile at me and dad. "She looks exactly like Mariah." Dad nodded. "All except her hair and slightly her eyes." My eyes? What does that mean? I thought. "Well, your eyes have a blue-brown colour. Instead of blue or brow, you have blue and brown." I nodded. We stayed for a bit until it started to get dark. "Well, I've gotta get her home and in bed, it was nice to see you again, Bye Ben." Dad called. I hugged my uncle and picked up a sleeping Bailon. Dad helped me in and buckled up Bai in his blue car-seat. "Ready, angel?" I nodded as he turned on the radio. I love you this big by Scotty McCreery came through the static. "Leave it, please Daddy!!" He smiled through the rear view mirror. "Eyes have never seen, this big! No ones ever dreamed this big, and for the rest of my life, explaining what words can not describe but I'll try, I love you this big." I sang along while Dad had his recording camera up on the dash. The song ended and The Dash by the same guy came on. I sang that one and broke down in gut wrenching sobs. "Liah, whats wrong?" I shook my head as tears streamed down my face. Dad pulled over and had me in his arms in no time. "Mariah?" I nodded. That song talks about a person(or people) that have passed. Its how they lived their lives in the dash between, in the dash between. I hugged daddy and felt his tears hit my shoulder. "C-can we go home now? I miss Mikey." Dad cracked a fake smile at that. "What about your other uncles, angel?" I cringed. "Too soft. Micheal is punk rock." Dad shook his head. "What have those fools done to my baby?" I grinned. "We have a studio day tomorrow and you have to go." I nodded. Bailon was babbling on in his seat and made a fist towards me, clenching and un-clenching it at me. "Dad, how far from home are we?" Dad looked back and saw Bailon. "Go ahead and get him." I grinned and unbuckled Bai. "Hey, Bai Bai!" He snuggled his head into my neck and put his tiny palm on my cheek. "Daddy, look." Dad did so as he pulled up the drive. "That baby sure loves my daughter." He mumbled. "M-m-ma-mama!!" Bailon squealed. "Daddy!! Bailon talked and called me mama and-and-" "Slow down, princess. Now what happened?" I repeated my earlier sentence. Dad pointed to himself and asked, "Bailon, whats my name?" Bai shielded himself in my hair and softly whimpered. "Papa." I grinned. "He said papa." Dad groaned and grunted. "I'm too young to feel so darn old." I ran inside with my speaking baby. "Mimi(Micheal)! Taltal(Calum)! Ash(Ashton)!"
