Just keep swimming || JJ Maybank

Yours

Apsen's POV

The next morning I woke up in someone's arms. I looked around and saw it was JJ. I smiled to myself when I remembered last night. The kiss

When I looked around a bit better I saw the others laying on the couch. Suddenly Jade started crying. I jumped up and went to her room, scared they would react the same way Max did.

When I went into her room I saw her laying in the big bed, since they didn't have a little crib for her.

I picked her up and changed her diaper. I then checked the time 5:00 am. "How did you sleep?" I asked her. She rubbed her eys and yawned. "Yes" in her language 'yes' meant good and 'no' meant bad.

I changed her into some pants and a shirt and then put a little bow in her hair. I picked her up and went into the living room.

When I got there all the Pogues were awake and looked at me. "I'm sorry she woke you I-" I started. "Its fine, don't worry about it" Kie reassured me. I smiled at her and she smiled back. "How are you not dying right now? It's so earlyy" JJ said while rubbing his eyes.

"Jay!" Jade squealed. Jj smiled and I handed him Jade. I walked out the kitchen and made Jade a bottle.

When I got back JJ handed me Jade and I held her in my arms. I gave her her bottle. And she drank it. The pogues just looked at me and Jade. When she finished she wanted to climb out of my arms but In held her back. "Mommy!" She screamed. Thw pogues flinched at the loud sound but I was used to it.

"If ur gonna play right now, you'll throw up that milk in 2 minutes, if not faster" I told her. She started squirming so I let her go.

She ran into another room and all the Pogues looked at me.

"You're a great mom, do you know that?" Kie told me. "I try my best" I responded. "I'm just gonna apologize for the mess Jade is gonna make in a few minutes" I chuckled and John B did too. "Its all good" he smiled.

We started talking and a minute late I heard Jade crying. "Jade baby what's wrong" I yelled. She came running towards me , while sobbing hysterically, with puke and milk all over her shirt. The Pogues cringed and I chuckled. "What did I tell you?" I asked her. She continued crying. She threw up more and choked on it since she was laying the ground dramatically. I picked her up and put her on my chest, her head over my shoulder.

I patted her back and she stopped choking after she decided to puke on my back. The pogues looked at this with big eyes. I picked Jade up and brought her to the bathroom. I put her in the empty bathtub and she sat down. She completely stopped crying and just looked at me. "I'll be right back" I told her and I went into the living room. I went into my room and changed shirts.

I threw the one with puke in an plastic bag and sat down on the bed. I put my head in my hands and sobbed softly. I'm so tired.

I love Jade with my entire heart and more but I was only 16. I wasn't prepared for this. I just wanted my childhood back.

Little did I know Kie was watching me from behind the door. She slowly opened the door and sat down next to me. She hugged me and I sobbed in her shoulder. She slowly caressed my back and held me close.

"I'm sorry" I whispered and I wiped my tears. "When is the last time you slept more than 6 hours?" She asked me concerned. I shrugged. "When is the last time you ate a good meal" she asked me again. "Like a month ago" I answered. "Asp-" she started. "I know it sounds bad but I'm just short kn money right now and Jade needs it more than I do" I told her.

"Go to sleep, I'll take care of Jade" she told me and laid me down. "No its fine-" I started. "Its not fine! You need to sleep!" She said. She then stood up and locked the door. "Kie c'mon!" I yelled. "No! You will sleep and I'll clean up Jade!" After that I hit the door a few more times and then I gave up. I laid down jnt he bed and fell asleep to the sound if Jade giggling in the bathroom next to this room.
