Masons pov:

I cuddle ollie on the rocking chair as he has his bottle. "God your the cutest" i said as we locked eyes his puffed out cheeks turning pink as he nursed his bottle. A burp at the end and I transferred him to his crib. "Sleep well pumpkin hope you have the best dreams" I said placing his paci between his lips and his heavy eyes struggled to stay awake. "Nini dada" he whispered out as I left the room, little space Ollie is adorable!

After coming out of my room I went to knock at Eric's to make sure he was coping getting Spencer down without any trouble. I could hear soft crying coming from inside, I knocked and the crying went quiter but no answer, I don't think Eric's still here? I key in his passcode and open the door to a dark room. "Spencer?" I asked walking in placing on the bedside lamp seeing the lump under the duvet trembling. "Spencer I know your under there, want to tell me why your so upset?"
"Leave me lone" he said between cry's.
"Can't do that I'm afraid buddy, I don't like people in my house being upset, can you tell me what's wrong? Do you just feel overwhelmed with it all? Cause Ollie did too at first" I tried to reassure rubbing over the covers.
"He hates me" he said quietly and I stop, " who does?"
"Daddy" he said quitely, I sighed,
"He doesn't hate you Spencer"
"Don't mattew leave me lone" he lisped out making me smile realising he still must have his paci in his mouth. I know he was an ass but I don't want to damage the boy psychologically, I decided to treat him like I do Ollie. "Come here a hug will help" I pulled back the covers as he glanced back at me his red face crying. I see the well loved Teddy in his arms, "who's your little friend?" I said trying to remain friendly. He looked down at the grey elephant, "Ellie"
"That's a perfect name for her, don't you fancy finishing your bottle? Ollie says there nummy?" I coax gently as he wiped his eyes with the pj sleeve.
"It nice" he offered but looked away.
"It might be gone a little cold now, would you like me to make you a warm one so your tummy cosy for going to bed?" I offered.
"Why you been nice to me, ewic I mean daddy said i shouldn't be allowed back" his chin trembled. Dammit Eric.
"Listen Spencer, we spoke about it, you've recognised that what you done to Ollie is wrong. Ollie was okay with you coming back provided no more being mean. I'll speak to Eric you don't deserves to feel like your hated." He nodded and looked broken. "Another bottle then?"
"Yea pease" he lisped out.
"Right you snuggle back down I'll be back in a jiffy!" I get up after patting his leg.

"Ah the little man still thirsty? You've been gone ages!" Eric said over the back of the sofa.
"No but I'm sorting YOUR little man" I said walking into the kitchen.
"What you mean my little man?" He questioned following me in so we were alone in the kitchen.
"The boy you're supposed to be caring for?" I said deadpan back as I started making up a fresh bottle.
"He got into bed and was drinking the bottle when I left him?"
"For fuck sake Eric, you asked for a little, I gave you a frat baby, at least actually care for the boy! Why did you think I offered you to come in for story time? The boy upstairs was crying so hard i could hear him from the hall, he said you hate him" I finished up shaking the bottle to mix it up.
"I mean I don't hate him but come on, how could you let him back in after everything he's done?" He said folding his arms.
"It was my call end of discussion., get your act together for tomorrow and treat him like I treat Ollie, actually give him your time. Now if your excuse me I've a second bottle to give and a story to read" I said walking pass him.

I come in quietly into the room as not to startle him, "right buddy, here ye go a nice warm baba" I pulled out his paci and handed him the bottle as he started to drink. I sat in the bed beside him stretching my legs out. "Okay a little story, once upon a time" I began when he interrupted pulling his bottle out. "What you doing?"
"Reading you a story of course, snuggle down and get comfortable and just relax" I guide the bottle back to his lips.
"Now where was I? okay once upon a time-"

The bottle was dangling empty from him mouth as he was out cold halfway through the story. I swap it out with his paci. I pull the covers up around him and Ellie, the paci bobbing between his lips I smiled as he reminds me of Ollie. I leave the light on since he's already asleep for Eric coming in.

In the living room i plop down beside Eric and Sean, "where Toby?"
"Gone to bed" Sean gave me a knowing smile, must be little.
"How did Spencer go down?" Eric asked quietly.
"He fell asleep half way through the story with his bottle, I've left your lamp on so you don't disturb him too much" I said warning him.
"Thanks Mason, I'm sorry, I'll do better tomorrow I promise" Eric offered and I nodded "Like I say treat him like I treat Ollie" I said by way of concluding the conversation.

Up in my room later I put my small light on seeing a glow from the nursery I pop in to check on Ollie he was snuggled up with Teddy in his grasps, I don't want this semester to end.

Eric's pov:

I came into my room seeing Spencer on his side facing out towards the room, his paci still in his lips bobbing and Ellie tucked against his chest. He did look pretty sweet, I do feel guilty for making him cry. I was so surprised when I heard Mason say he was crying, I wasn't expecting that from Spencer, maybe I do need to go lighter on him like I promised Mason. After brushing my teeth I strip off to my boxers pulling back my duvet climbing into bed hitting off the light.
His soft sucking sound like white noise comforting me to sleep.

When I woke to my alarms I turned over to see Spencer sitting up in bed with Ellie. "Morning Spencer, did you sleep ok?" I asked and he nodded.
"You want to get in clothes before getting breakfast?" I asked sitting up.
"Yea pease" he lisped with his paci, "good boy let's get you changed, hop onto your mat, did you do your morning pee?"  He blushed nodding still not looking at me. 
He definitely peed more then once telling by the wettness of his diaper, "good job using the diaper bud" I offered and he stayed quite.

I soon have him dressed in a green onesie covered in dinosaurs, and a black pair of overalls and his black converse. "Looking good spency" I offered a smile and he just nodded allowing me to sit him up.
"Spencer look at me" I said softly, he's barely speaking to me or looking at me, I don't want him to fear me.
"Good boy" I praised when his gaze fell on mine.
"Spencer I don't hate you, I think we got off on the wrong foot, I want you to feel safe and comfortable with me and I realise I didn't make you feel that way and I'm sorry" he nodded with glassy eyes and vigorous sucked his paci.
"Let's get some breakfast baby" I said pulling him to stand not letting go off it as we walked out of my room, we pass Ollie and Mason on the way back from breakfast, Ollie still in his sleeper.

I guide spency to the highchair strapping him in and placing the tray in front. He kept his gaze down as I asked him, "cereal or toast?" "Toast pease"
"You want some jam?" I offered and he shook his head, he's so much quieter than he previously was any other time he came over.
I place two slices of toast with butter on his tray cut up into squares and a bottle of orange juice pulling out his paci with a pop. "Thank you" he said only in my ear shot. "Your welcome, eat up buddy"

Soon me and Mason are walking side my side holding Ollie and Spencer hands walking them to class, both having a distinct waddle. Darren, zayn and Tony are standing outside, it slightly annoyed me, they abandoned Ollie as a frat baby but wait for Spencer when he's one?
"Morning boys" Mason offered as we approached.
"Hi guys, look at you both!" Zayn cood, Spencer stood in tight to me squeezing my hand.
"Can you boys make keep and eye on these two? Ollie you want to sit separately?" Mason asked and Ollie shook his head, Darren held out his hand for Ollie to take, he did so wearily. "Right bud, you ready to go in?" I offered trying to coach Spencer forward and he shook his head leaning into me. " here come on, you'll be fine" zayn said taking his other hand pulling him to the door.

"He's a quiet boy" Mason offered as we walked to class.
"I've barely been able to to get a single word out of him this morning" I said frowning.
"Give him time, he seems shy, maybe he's the same as Ollie? With a big man fake vibe who's actually a shy guy under neath" Mason offered.
"Ye maybe your right, I mean Iv barely had him yet. I'll see where the afternoon takes us!
