Fake It 'Til You Make It - Hamliza

Chapter 11: Day Off

Eliza woke up with her head in Alexander’s chest, and his arms wrapped around her waist. She smiled and looked over to the side, Pip was on the right side of the bed, sucking his thumb and cuddling his stuffed unicorn. He must’ve had a nightmare again. Eliza sighed and went back to burying her face in Alexander’s chest, when he woke up.

"Good morning, beautiful." Alexander whispered and kissed her head. She blushed and giggled. "Careful, Alex. There's a minor in the bed too." She said and pointed to Pip who was still asleep. "Aww… isn't he a little old to suck on his thumb?" He asked. Eliza frowned. "I've been trying to get him out of it for a couple years." She informed him.

“Alright. Well, I’ll be careful with cuddles… for now.” Eliza turned red and Alexander hugged her, kissing her neck. “Mr. H?” They heard a voice. They turned around, and saw Pip standing on the bed.

"Come here bud. You can cuddle too." Eliza smiled and opened her arms for him. Pip gave a tired laugh and climbed on his mom, getting squished between her and Alexander. "Mama how come Mr. H is here?" He asked innocently. "Because I asked him to. To scare off the monsters." She said, trying to help him understand without telling him. "Oh ok! We've never had someone to scare off monsters before! Thank you Mr. H!" Pip said excitedly and hugged him, "Now mama won't be scared anymore!"

Alexander chuckled, “No problem.” Eliza held his hand, as Pip hugged Eliza’s chest. Alexander smiled and looked into her eyes, and Eliza stared back. “So Pip. What do you wanna do today?”, she asked.
He tapped his chin. “Hmmm…” he then smiled. “aaa-aaquaram!”, he said, trying to say “aquarium”.

"Yeah we can go to the aquarium." Eliza smiled and kissed his head. Pip cheered and stood up, jumping around the bed. "Be car- oof-" Alexander groaned when Pip landed on his stomach. "Pippy! Say sorry!" Eliza gasped and picked him up as she got off the bed. "Sorry Mr. H…" he mumbled and clung to Eliza's shoulder.

“Can Auntie Angie and Auntie Peggy come with us?”, Pip asked, getting on Eliza’s back. “I don’t see why not- Alexander do you want to come?” He smiled. “Of course.” Eliza reached for her IPhone X and texted them in the group chat:
ELIZAA🦋: Do you want to come with Pip and I to the aquarium with Alexander Hamilton?
Ang🌸: ALEXANDER HAMILTON???
Peggs💛: Ofc! Angie?
Ang🌸: Sure!
Eliza smiled. “They will meet us there.”

Alexander nodded and got up. "I'm going to get dressed." He said and kissed Eliza's head. Pip looked between the two but his 3 year old brain couldn't understand what was going on so he shrugged it off and cuddled into his mom. 
Eliza took him to his room and got him dressed for the Aquarium. She put him in a light shirt with a shark on it with words that say "I'm a catch" with blue jeans and dark blue Nikes. 

Eliza was wearing a white shirt with a light blue cardigan, and blue ripped jeans, with black tennis shoes. They drove to the aquarium, and Eliza was helping Pip out of his car seat. “Ready to see some stingray, Pip?”, she asked. He smiled a toothy grin. “Yay!” Stingray!” They saw Angelica and Peggy, looking very excited when Alexander got out of the car, and squealed when he kissed Eliza’s cheek. 

"So are you two a thing?" Peggy asked excitedly. "Yeah! Are you two dating?" Angelica asked as well. Eliza blushed a bit when Alexander put his arm around her waist and kissed her lips. "Does that answer your question?" He smirked at the two girls as they squealed with excitement for their sister. Pip frowned and pushed Alexander's hand off his mom since he was sitting on her hip. "NO!" he shouted, upset.

Eliza’s eyes widened at her son’s behavior. “Pip…”, Alexander kneeled down to his height to try to calm him down. Before he could say anything, Pip kicked his knee. “NO!”, he shouted again. “Pip! We don’t kick”, Eliza scolded. Pips face scrunched up and Eliza looked at Alexander helplessly. “Pip! Let’s go inside! Do you wanna see some stingray?”, Peggy asked. Pip sniffled. “I do like stingray…”
