Aubrey

In the middle of the night I woke up to a baby crying. I turned on the lights, yawning.

I walked down the hall.

"It's okay, princess. Shh..." I heard Shawn say.

Ally kept crying and trying to get out of his grip.

I chuckled, "Looks like you're having a great time."

Shawn rolled his eyes, "Definitely."

"You're doing it wrong." I said holding Ally as I started cradling her in my arms. I sat on Shawn's bed and started humming Small Bump by Ed Sheeran.

(A/N I cry every time I listen to this song oml)

Ally soon calmed down and her breathing slowed.

"Goodnight, Ally." I kissed the top of her head.

"Night, Shawn." I waved and went back to my room.

That morning, I woke up to the smell of eggs, bacon, grit.. SAUSAGE! Just kidding, I smelt bacon and pancakes.

"Morning, I made breakfast." Shawn said flipping some pancakes.

"Smells great!" I sat down and poured maple syrup on my pancakes.

"Hope you like them, this is my first time making these." Shawn sat down.

"They're really good, thank you."

"No problem." Shawn said.

"So what do you wanna do today?" I asked.

"I need to shop for Ally's clothes."

"I have a lifeguard shift and another shift at Starbucks later, so do you wanna just have a movie night?" I suggested.

"I'm down for that." He grinned. Suddenly we heard crying from upstairs. "Ally."

He went up to go get her and came back down.

"Morning, little one. How'd you sleep?" I cooed poking her belly.

She giggled.

"I've got to go to work so I'll see you at later." I kissed ally's nose and ruffled Shawn's hair.

"She gets a kiss and not me?" Shawn pouted.

"Yup." I stuck out my tongue and got ready for work.

Shawn

"Alright, baby what are we doing today?" I asked Ally as I fed her.

She looked a lot like Claire. Her bright blue eyes. Her cute little nose. Her rosy cheeks. She had my brown hair though. (A/N Picture above.)

I kissed Ally's forehead, "We're gonna have so much fun, today! We're gonna go shopping, we can go to the park..."

After she was done, I cleaned her up then put her in the carseat to go shop for some clothes.

A couple of girls tried hitting on me, which was really annoying. Can't they see I'm a father? Shouldn't they assume I have a wife? Besides, I'm still not over Claire.

Ally and I went to the mall to get some clothes, bottles, shoes, toys and other things babies need. By the end of our trip I was exhausted.

By the time we went home it was already dinner. Aubrey had some food prepared.

"This house smells amazing!" I exclaimed.

"And you don't." Bree pushed me away punching her nose. "Go take a shower."

I put a hand over my heart.

"Alright, can you watch Ally?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll feed her now." She replied carrying Ally to the highchair.

•

I watched as Ally crawled on Bree's stomach and giggled. She squealed as Bree tickled her. I just wanted to take a picture.

My thoughts were interrupted by Aubrey, "Someone needs a bath!"

"Hey, I just took a shower and might I add, I smell great." I said.

"Not you, Ally." She said.

"Come on Ally, time for a shower." I said picking her up.

We went upstairs and I started the water. I honestly didn't know what I was doing.

I tried taking her diaper off but she kept crying. It was also extremely awkward.

Seconds later, Bree came in. "Why are you closing your eyes?"

"B-Because I uh..." I stuttered trying to find a way to say, 'I feel like a pedophile looking at my naked daughter.'

She put ally on the counter and took the diaper and placed it in the trash.

"Done."

"Oh thanks."

"You were scared to look at a vagina..." Aubrey sang teasingly.

"Was not!" I exclaimed.

"Was too..."

"Oh yeah, guess how I made her!"

"Okay... That just got awkward.."

"Was that a little too much?"

"Just a bit."

Ally waded around splashing water.

I started shampooing her hair as Bree washed her body. When were done, we dried her and got her dressed.

"Well, that was easy." I said putting her in bed.

"Goodnight, Ally." Bree said tucking her in.

"I'll be down in a second." I said.

Aubrey nodded and left.

I tucked her in and put her elephant next to her. She cuddled with it and closed her eyes.

"Goodnight, princess. Sweet dreams." I kissed her head and hummed until her breathing slowed.

I went downstairs to see Aubrey in her pajamas stuffing her face with popcorn.

"Slow down, we won't have enough for the movie!" I laughed jumping on the couch.

She mumbled something I couldn't understand because of all the popcorn in her mouth.

"What?"

"I said, pick a movie." Bree said.

"Harry Potter or Mocking Jay?" I asked.

"Harry Potter definitely." She said.

I put the blanket over me and pressed play.

•

We were on the fourth movie it was now 2 am. Aubrey was falling asleep.

"You're sleeping." I poked her cheek.

"No I'm not." She yawned.

"Yes you are," I chuckled. "You can lay on my lap."

She laid her head down and put the blanket over her. She closed her eyes.

Soon, I felt darkness take over me.
