5sos Baby Series

One Month Old

Ashton (his pov)
"She's beautiful." Alex, Mandy's older brother said. He's got a five and three year olds at home. I cradled Harley in my arms letting Mandy sleep upstairs. "Yeah but sometimes that's not enough. I just need you to tell me that this is temporary. The crying and spitting up and sleep deprivation
She's ruining me. I'm not half the person I was a month ago. I mean don't get me wrong, I love her with all my heart but..." I trailed off. I was losing it. "Don't worry Ash. It gets better the longer you know her and you'll start to fall into her rhyme. I promise you it gets better and it is temporary for the most. You've got Mandy to help you." He softly spoke so that he didn't wake up Harley. I half grinned, "Thanks. I'm probably overreacting." "You got this. I got to go. See you guys later." And he left leaving me alone with my daughter. "Hey Harley Barley. It's just you and me." I said to her. I can't wait till she starts talking. She started getting fussy. "Are you hungry?" I grabbed the bottle I made about ten minutes ago. She only drinks from her moms nipples so I was hopeless she would want to drink for the bottle. Mandy and I have tried to get her to drink from a bottle a couple times but she just won't. I put the bottle near her mouth and nothing. "I know your moms got boobs and that's very very awesome. But I'm here for you to and its important for me to know that. I'm always going to be there for you. You understand that? You and me." I kissed her little forehead and she drank from the bottle.
Calum (his pov)
"Rache honey wake up." I shook Rachel as Bird was crying. "I take it back- Calum I don't want kids." She said turning around to face me. "She won't take the bottle... Im sorry but you have to feed her." I said sorry that I had to wake her up. There goes me trying to be helpful. "Alright" I mumbled getting out of bed. She raised Bird up cradling her then fixed her shirt to breast feed. It's so incredible what the women's body can do; first carry a baby then be its main source of food. "You should take a picture, it'll last longer." She giggled. I didn't realize I was staring. "Oh sorry. You're so beautiful." I said walking over to her to kiss her cheek then rested my head on her shoulder watching Bird cheeks as she sucked out the milk. "What are you saying, I feel like a fat unsexy cow." She said. "Oh come on. You're super sexy." I said and Bird was finished. "Sure. Looks like your not that hungry. You'll probably wake me up in an hour because you didn't have enough!" She teased Bird setting her back in her crib. "How do you feel? Does it still hurt?" I asked knowing Rachel didn't enjoy feeding her the last few times. "Nothing I can't handle. I'm getting used to it now." She said crawling back into bed, laying her head on my chest. I stroked her hair, "You're an amazing mother."
Luke (his pov)
"Luke, Chase left you a present." Sam yawned next to me. We're trying to soak in every peaceful second to rest. "What? Do I have too?" I whined. I only got like five hours of sleep last night. I don't understand why I have to get up and watch Sam breast feed when all I do is stand around. "Yes you do. You've only changed one and don't say you don't know how to because the first time you did I showed/helped you." I groaned loudly getting up. I stumbled over to the bassinet where the whimpers were coming from. "Come on, buddy." I lifted him up and smelled one whiff. "Buddy you stink." I walked into his room with the changing table and gently placed him down. I started undoing his diaper holding my breath. This was nasty. I can't believe something so cute created this. I threw away the dirty diaper, wiped him, then slid a new on. Just as I was about to seal the diaper close I felt liquid being spray on my face like a fire hose. "Chaaaseee! Sam he's peeing on me!" I yelled getting out of the way and using my hand to block my face. Sam walked in annoyed then immediately started laughing. "You have to use the cone thingy right there." She pointed still laughing. "Thanks for the warning." I said, pee dripping off my my face. "Oh my gosh Luke he's smiling!" She squealed. I looked down and saw the tiny smile on his face. I couldn't help but smile too. "Hey you think this is funny!"
Michael (his pov)
Charlotte and I crashed on our bed once we got the twins to sleep. "So this is what it feels like," I started to say half asleep. I could literally fall asleep anywhere at this point. "To be without sleep for a month." She shook her head, "Well I got a head start being pregnant with them." "Nows not the time to be competitive." I groaned. "You hear that?" She said. "Hear what?" I furrowed my eyebrows. I'm not in the mood to think right now. I can barley keep my eyes open. "Peace." She said. "I almost forgot what that sounds like." Our eyes started to close. We got about five minutes of sleep which nowadays is a lot of sleep. Our eyes shot open as we heard a cry. "Quick go get him before the other monster starts crying too." She instructed and we both quickly got to our feet like a fire drill. We're pros at this now. We burst into the nursery and Char lifted up Jackson-i think and I checked on Dylan to make sure he was still sound asleep. "I'm gona go feed him in our room." She said walking out with the crying baby. I look at Dylan and found him strangely wide awake. Usually when one of them is crying the other starts to cry. I started talking to him, "Hey little guy. Whatcha doing? Just hanging out?" I grabbed his monkey "Who is this? Is it your monkey?" i cooed and started waving it side to side like it was dancing. Dylan's eyes were fixed on it. Then I nuzzled it in his face. When I lifted it up I saw a tiny smile form. "Char! Dylan smiled!" I shouted to her in the next room over. She came in cradling Jackson. "Can mommy see it?!" She said to Dylan. I nuzzled the monkey in his face again and when I lifted he was smiling again! Charlotte gasped, "what a beautiful smile! Michael do it to Jackson." I did the same for Jackson and found a tiny smile on his face too! "My smiley boys"
