I Won't Give Up On Us (McLennon)

Dresses?

We move down aisles, not bringing up Pauls little outburst. "John, do babies really drink this powder stuff?" He shakes the can of Infant Milk with a look of disgust. "Yes Paul, did you really expect her to drink orange juice and chocolate milk already?." He turns red with naivete. "What's wrong with orange juice and chocolate milk." I think. Honestly i have no clue. "Good point we'll try orange juice but get three cans of that powder milk just in case." We're on a roll. Paul leads us to the clothing section of the store, we look around for a few minutes until Paul starts acting like a nit wit, trying to make Ally say my name. "Johhhhhhhn. Jawwwwwn. Jaaaaaaaan." I kind of like him saying my name though. I'll talk to him about US tonight. "Paul she can't talk yet, quit being an idiot." He sticks his tongue out at me. "She very well can talk, I'm teaching her and now that you've got on me bad side, I'm only going to teach her how to say Paul." Again, idiot. "Just come help me find her some clothes. What size is she?" He turns her around checking the back of her dress. "1....T. what the hell is 1T?" Once again, naive Paul. "That's how baby sizes work, look around for clothes that have '1T' on the tag." Paul smiles because for once, something actually makes sense. A female worker walks by and i can tell she's checking Paul out when she slyly looks up and down , smiling at him. "Can i help you.. with anything." She's honestly trying to make a move. He's not paying any attention to her, Ally is speaking gibberish and he's trying to translate it. "No actually he doesn't need ANY help." Paul notices her walk off and asked what happened. I got a bit jealous but if we're completely honest, I can only see Paul with me. "Paul do you like me and when i say like me, i mean really like me?" He turns all of his attention to me. "Of course."
My heart feels relieved. "You know, i don't care if people know John, if that's what you're worried about." He looks at Ally then the ground.
"No, I don't care about that. I just needed to know that ..you're mine." He smiles and pulls up three dreesses he's found in her size. "I was wondering, does she really have to wear ... Dresses?" He sounds disgusted when he says the last word. Paul, my innocent little Paul. "Yes, she's a girl and a baby at that." I reassure him, hoping he'll stop being so protective.
"John when we we're in middle school, do you remember how we used to talk about girls in dresses? How we used to think that... the point is I don't want her to be hit on my losers like us in the future." I suddenly realize that he's protecting her because of who we were in middle school. I sigh. "She's wearing dresses Macca and if you're really that scared, we'll just follow her everywhere and make sure losers like us don't try anything." I wink at him and he smiles. "We still need four more dresses, diapers, wipes, a car seat and a play pin." We agree to part and get things done more quickly.

Pauls POV:

I have to finish getting all of Allys... dresses. I get alot of onesies instead. I just don't understand why she has to wear dresses anyway. I think John and I have defined what we are. In a way. He's a mystery, the night before Ally came into his life, he was fucking a young bird behind the cavern club after a show. Then Ally comes and he's kissing me. It's all confusing but I do love him and Ally. "Jom" If he's just going to use m- "Ally what did you say?! Say it again, darling!" My heart is racing, she said her first word. "Jooooom." Her voice is high and fragile. Is she saying John? "John? Baby is that what you're saying? John?" She replies by saying "Jom" Little Allys first word is John. Where's John?! I grab all of the onesies and rush to find John with Ally in my arms. "John!" I find him in the diapers area but there is no time to explain. "Ally say it again ,sweetheart." John stares at Ally. "Jom!" John drops the diaper pack he was holding ,eyes wide and grabs Ally. "Ally are you sayingy name? One more time, darling." She stops playing with his eyelashes and opens her mouth. "Jooom." She can't talk? Bahhh. I told him so! "Paul, she said it! My name!" I laugh and he hugs me and Ally tightly and lets go saying: "Say Paul baby. Paul. Pauuuuul." He looks like a child in a candy store. She has changed this crazy boy i kno- "Poool" I stop and realize that she's trying to say my name. "Yes baby, Pauuuul!" Baby Ally is saying my name. I give her kisses all over her face while she giggles. "Pooool" she squeals while i give her kisses. We hurry getting everything realizing that we'd told george to be at Johns apartment in an hour before we left. John didn't stop smiling the whole way home and I was happy that John was happy. Before we get to the apartment, i lean over and give John a kiss on his cheek because it feels right. "I love you Paul." I'm shocked when he say this. "I love you to Jom." He looks at me and laughs because I've said it incorrectly like Ally. "And we love you Ally." John says before we park in front of his apartment.

The boys are clueless with this baby lol Ally is such a sweetheart ❤
