TW: Body negativity towards Gemma + Leighton with possible triggering words, mentions of blood, both very brief!
*Leighton's POV*
"How's your banana G?" Sam asked, walking into the kitchen where Gemma was sat trying a new food.

a/n: this baby is a lot bigger than Gemma lol, this baby is like over a year old. Gemma is almost 9 months, but she's on the smaller scale size wise for her age range aka she's short and tiny lol she's our little smush
"Tell Sam it's yummy" I cooed, watching her squish the food in her hand. "She's a big fan" I snickered, looking at the mess in front of me.
She held her hand out to Sam, the squashed banana in her hand as she screamed at him, wanting attention.
The moment she found out her voice could scream and it would get her attention, she never stopped. It's been great. Totally don't ever get a headache from her shrieks.
Sam paused for a second before bending down and pretending to eat the banana, "Mm! Yummy G!" He encouraged, a big grin on her face as she giggled, bringing the banana to her mouth, her hand spreading as she slapped it to her mouth "I'm allergic to banana" he said, my jaw dropping.
"Sam!" I gasped, Sam chuckling as he opened the fridge, taking out some milk and eggs.
"What are your plans for today?" Sam asked, digging through a cupboard.
"Gemma and I have to go to Gabe's parents house, after that I am hanging out with Lexi and Landon. Colby's busy today isn't he?" I asked, Sam nodding. "Yeah, he has a merch shoot today for his own line"
"That's exciting, by being his girlfriend, do I get free merch? Maybe I can resell it and afford rent" I joked, Sam rolling his eyes as he laughed.
"Yes you can have free merch, and no you can't resell it. At least not till it's out, then if you wanna sell it, go ahead"
"Damn, I should've dated Colby sooner! Think I can raid his closet and make a buck?"
"I heard underwear goes for a lot" Sam chimed in, my laugh echoing through the kitchen which made Gemma giggle which in return made Sam and I laugh at the fact that Gemma joined in on our laughter.
Every day she was becoming more and more of a tiny human, and I loved it. I loved watching her grow, and her personality shine through.
She was definitely a curious girl, and had no apprehension which made things interesting. I was very afraid of when she was going to start walking, and jumping off of things. I could definitely see a few ER visits in our future, her needing stitches or a cast, something that will definitely drain my bank account.
Her favorite thing right now is slamming things or banging things, and I think it had to do with liking to hear the loud sound, knowing she was causing chaos.
