Changing Connor ~A sequel to changing Cameron~

Chapter 13-birthday planning and arguments

"I'm getting seriously old, Cam", Connor says, getting into bed with me. "Next thing I know, my hair is going to get gray and not in the cool hispter way either. Like, naturally gray from age". I shake my head at him and laugh lightly.

         "Yeah, okay. You're not even 30 yet. Please tell me how old you're getting. My momma would knock you down if she heard you talking like that. Smh at you", I say, not even looking up from my tablet.

         "Okay, mr. internet. Using "smh" as an actual out loud response. But, maybe I am too old to keep doing Youtube. Maybe I can use Youtube for something more age appropriate? Maybe something that I enjoy even more", he replies. I look up at him as he sighs. "I hate getting older, you start questioning everything you know about life".

         "Ya know, Aria feels the same way. She was complaining to me the other day about how she is so not ready to be 5. All the responsiblites of being an adult are suddenly rushing to her", I reply. Connor chuckles and turns the lamp out. "Alright, well, I guess it's time for bed". He laughs again and I turn my tablet off and lay it on the bed side table.

       "Yeah, not quite", he whispers, pulling my closer, slipping his fingers beneath waistband of my underwear. I bite my lip and he does what Connor does best.

      The next morning I wake up to a small child hitting me in the face with a pillow. I groan. "DADDY! COME ON! THERE'S SERIOUSLY ONE WEEK UNTIL I'M LIKE... AN ADULT. YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP! WE.NEED.TO.PLAN", Aria screams. I sigh and sit up and she sits on Connor's side of the bed and crosses her legs.

         "Alright, let's plan. What kind of party do you want?", I ask her. She puts on her thinking face and tilts her head. My daughter is basically a dog. "I don't speak facial expressions my darling, I only speak enlgish. And a bit of baby, but I'm a little rusty".

          "I'm thinking daddy! Stop rushing me", she whines. I hold my hands up in mock surrender. "Omg! I've got it! I have the perfect idea! I HAVE TO GO TELL SEBASTIAN!". She jumps off the bed and runs out of the room. I shrug and get out of bed.

        I quickly take a shower and brush my teeth and do all of that boring shit. I dress in simple clothing and go downstairs to see Aria and Sebastian sitting on the couch, Joseph watcing them talk, giggling at every word. I think Connor should name his next book "the chronicles of a giggling Joseph". I'd buy it.

         I go into the kitchen and see Connor talking to his camera. No! ABORT ABORT ABORT! I basically run out of the kitchen and back into the living room, tripping over Josiah and falling face down on the door. "ARIA!", I shout. I get up and pick her bear up. She sinks back on the couch. "I told you last time, if I see him on the floor one more time, it is getting threw out".

        Connor comes out of the kitchen, luckily with no camera. "What's going on in here? I was trying to film", he says. Oh heeeeelll no! I turn to him with a "are you f'ing serious right now" look. I go into the kitchen and Aria runs after me.

        "Oh daddy! Please no! I love Josiah so much!", she cries. I ignore her plead and toss the stuffed animal in the trash bin. I turn to walk out of the room and walk out. I go upstairs and Connor follows me.

        "Don't you think you were a bit harsh?", He asks when I walk into our room. I turn to him, ready to scream at him.

       "You are not the only father and my child will not have no discipline! She will not be like you! She will know what it's like to have someone tell her no!", I yell. Connor's shocked expression comes and goes in a matter of seconds.

         "Excuse me? If you think that I'm trying to be the only father in this family then you can walk out of the door! All I hear from you is complaining! You never stop to think about how proud you are of our kids! Aria is the smartest almost 5 year old! Have you even talked to her about her birthday party?", he yells back.

     "Actually I have! Have you? Oh wait, no. You were too busy wishing your fucking viewers a happy birthday! I actually spend time with my babies and I love and adore them! Discipline is a sign of love. If I didn't tell her what is and what isn't right, she wouldn't feel like I cared", I argue back.

         "Just stop!", a small voice shouts from the door. We both turn to see our small little girl holding Sebastian in her arms. Tears in her eyes. "I wish you both would just stop fighting for two seconds. Me and Joseph feel loved by both of you, equal love".

          She stomps away when her argument is finished. I run a hand through my hair. "Hey, Aria, what theme do you want for your birthday?", Connor shouts after her. She comes back into the room.

        "I want a Louis Tomlinson themed party", she says in a serious tone. I chuckle and Connor looks at me. I shrug. "Is that okay?". I shrug again and Connor just looks at me.

       "I think it's a great idea", I say. Connor just shakes his head. "I'll talk to him, go back downstairs and make sure Seb hasn't ate your brother". Aria nods and goes back downstairs. I sit on the bed and Connor sits beside me.

      "I didn't mean what I said", I say. "Okay, I kinda did. But I mean, you have been told a couple of times. Ya know, when you wanna have sex, but I don't want to because I want food instead". He chuckles. "I think I don't tell you no a lot, because you have really great things to say, and really great ideas". He smiles softly.

        "I didn't mean that you always complain, you love our kids. To be honest, you actually rarely complain, only when it's needed", he says. I lean in a kiss him gently. "Alright, are we good?".

       "Always", I say smiling.

      "Wanna have sex?", he asks.

    "Nope", I reply, getting up and walking out of the room. I hear a soft laugh and go downstairs. I see Aria on the family computer. "I don't recall you being told you could get on there".

      "I asked daddy earlier today, no worries", she replies, not taking her eyes off the screen. I walk over to her and look at what she's looking at. Louis Tomlinson birthday cakes. "I like this one". She points to one that had small pictures of Louis and a few hearts and stuff like that.

      "I'll send a picture to Aly and see if she can make it", I say. I reach over Aria to save the picture to the computer, then send my friend Aly a picture of it on Facebook. "Thanks doll". I kiss Aria's cheek and walk off.

       "Wait, daddy", she says. I turn back around. "Are you and daddy okay?". I smile and nod my head. "Well, I want something special for my birthday". I raise my eyebrow. "I want us to do a family tag video thingy".
