Morgan sat next to Madison's hospital bed holding his child as they prepared to leave. "Micheal freakin jinxed me" he mumbled. "What?"

"His dumbass said what if you had it in the truck, and then you did" he replied. Madison laughed as she changed into a comfortable outfit to ride home in.

"Isn't it crazy you delivered her?" She asked, he nodded. "It's crazy you did it without pain medicine" he replied.
He changed Paisley into her going home outfit and started gathering their things.

"You just hold her and I'll get all the stuff to the truck" he said fumbling with all the bags and things. After loading the truck he made his way back to Madison taking Paisley in his arms.

"Okay, cmon, let's get outta here" he said, she agreed. When they made it down Morgan gently sat Paisley in her car seat and strapped her in. He grabbed Madison's hand and helped her into the backseat.

Morgan felt like a bolder was on top of him during the drive home. His nerves through the roof as he gripped the steering wheel.

After finally arriving home he helped them both out of the car.

~~~
Morgan sat on the couch 2am around the corner, him and Madison have been taking night shifts with Paisley.
"Cmon baby, go to sleep" Morgan mumbled to his crying daughter.

He laid her down next to him hoping his trick he used in his niece would work. He grabbed his guitar strumming softly as he hummed a tune.

Madison came down the stairs, staring confusedly at Morgan. "What are you doing?" She asked. Her and Morgan has been at each other from the stress Paisley has put on both of them.

"Trying to get her to sleep" he replied. "That's not gonna work Morgan, she's gonna cry so hard she pukes" Madison said scooping Paisley up.

Morgan sighed sitting his guitar back down. "I had it taken care of Madison" he added. Madison sighed, her stress rising.

~~~
Micheal and Caleigh are at Morgan and Madison's supper table, the tension between the two evident. Micheal took a bite from his food, giving Morgan that "you okay?" Look.

Morgan glanced down to his food while Madison looked at Caleigh. "Ok what's going on, this is weird" Micheal spoke up.

Morgan sighed, so did Madison. "We're avoiding talking to eachother, because we haven't slept and we hate eachother right now" Madison mentioned, Morgan nodded his head in agreement.

Caleigh turns towards Micheal. "I wouldn't mind watching her, so you guys can rest" she offers. Madison smiled.
"If your sure? That would be great" Madison said.

After Micheal and Caleigh left with Paisley, Madison washed the dishes. The tension still between the two.
Morgan came up from behind, putting his hands on her stomach.

"Stop breathing down my neck" she snapped pushing him away. Morgan sighed. "What do you want from me Madison?" He asked, frustrated.

"I'm tryin so hard to keep you happy but your making it so hard" he mumbled, unsure what to do. Madison huffed turning her attention towards the dishes.

"Madison look at me, I want to fix us" he said putting his hand on her cheek to turn her towards him.
"Morgan we're fine, just stop-"

She's cut off by a deep kiss. "Let me fix us Madison" he mumbled softly. Madison sighed dropping the sponge in her hand as he grabbed her.

He pulled her body too him as he kissed her deeply. Her hands roamed his back and occasionally slipped into the collar of his shirt. Morgan lifted her up sitting her on the counter.

"We both know where this is going" Morgan mentioned, backing off of her. "We can't, I just had a baby Morgan" she said, in slight disappointment.

"I know, it's okay" he assures. "Im sorry, I feel so useless, I can't make anything work, and I don't have the same body, I can't even pleasure you"

"Hey, hey, that's not even true" he said, pulling her in for a hug. "Your not mad at me are you?" She asked.
"No baby, why would I be mad at you?"

"Cause I led you on" she trails off. "Madison, you didn't lead me on, you just had a baby I understand your body can't handle that right now"

"Listen, we're gonna go get some much needed sleep, and we'll have the morning to ourselves okay?" Morgan asked. Madison nodded hopping off the counter.

Morgan laid in the bed waiting for Madison while she changed. "Should I call? Just to check on her?" She asked.
"She's fine Madison, Caleigh has everything under control"

~~~
Micheal grinned as he held onto his friend's kid, Caleigh laughing and snapping a photo. "Your gonna be such a good dad"

Micheal smiled. "And you'll be a great mama" he replies. "I'm worried about Morgan and Madison though, they seem really upset with each other"

"It's just the stress of this little one, told you she'd be a heartbreaker"

~~~
Morgan held onto Madison, his hands around her stomach. "I'm gonna workout tomorrow, doctor said it's safe too"

"Okay, what time? I'll go with you"

"It's all woman's, so you can't come, sorry" she replied. "Oh, well, maybe I'll just write some songs and pick up Pais"

Madison nodded. "But after we can go to that art class I signed us up for" she added. Morgan wrinkled his nose.
"Art class?"

"Yeah, it'll be fun, don't tell me your not going"

"I mean, it's just not my style Y'know? Arts not my thing" he mumbled. Madison scoffed. "I ask you to do one thing and you won't even go? I'm not even asking much of you"

"Listen, Madison, I'll go with you, I don't wanna start anything again"

"And that's the damn problem! Your only going because you don't want me mad, not because you actually want too" she spat taking her things downstairs.

"Madison, please, where are you goin?" He asked. "The couch, I need space" she replied. Morgan grabbed her arm, turning her around to him. "Take the bed, I'll sleep here"

Madison scoffed as she walked upstairs. Morgan stood in defeat as he watched her. He put a pinch of dip in his lip and picked up his guitar. He walked out to the porch and sat down in the rickety rocking chair.

He didn't know what to do.

Neither did she.
