CHAPTER 16

LILIA P.O.V

Luke had asked me to go out to lunch with him today and I agreed. Michael had decided he would have Calum and Ashton over while we were out so I brought Dax with me so the boys could hang and wouldn't need to worry about him.

"Hi!" Luke shouted excitedly at me when I walked into the pizza shop and he took Dax out of his seat right away before kissing my cheek.

"I'm starving." I said looking over the menu while Luke played wit Dax's hand.

"Have you been eating like you're suppose to?" He asked and I looked up at him over the menu.

"No." I could tell he wasn't happy. "Listen, it's hard to feed yourself when you have a kid. I feed him, change him and then put him down to sleep. After that I have to clean the house and do the laundry and there isn't enough time to feed myself anymore." I said defending myself.

"Maybe we should start taking lunch breaks at your house and bring you food." I shook my head. He didn't need to do that.

"You don't need to do that." I said.

"I know, but I'm going to anyway." He said as he patted Dax's butt. "He's getting bigger already."

"Yeah, let's not talk about that though." I said. It was upsetting that he was already growing. I wanted him to stay little forever.

"Okay, we are going on tour in May." He said.

"Are you really?! That's so exciting!" I said. Why hadn't Michael told me? Was he not going to tell me and just leave for tour? I already told him that I wasn't going to hold him back from his dreams just because we had a baby.

"Yeah, we are. We are going to be playing some huge venues. I'm so excited. I'm gonna miss this little guy so much."

"We will come and see some shows!" I said. Of course I wouldn't be able to travel with them, there isn't enough room on a tour bus for two extra people. "We can also video chat." I said and he nodded his head.

"I don't want to miss anything with this little guy." He said. "You gotta take good care of him." I put my menu down.

"You think so?" I laughed. "How could I possibly not take care of him? He's the love of my life." I giggled. He was drooling all over Luke's hand but he didn't seem to mind. We didn't allow him to use a binkie so we often shoved our finger's in his mouth to calm him down.

"How are you and Michael?" He asked.

"We're good. Just trying to get more than five hours of a sleep a night." We often took turns on who got up with him throughout the night and whoever got up that night, got to sleep in while the other cared for him in the morning. Michael usually get's up with him and then wakes me up when he leaves for work.

"He's always tired. He takes naps whenever he can." I felt horrible. I knew that he was tired but I couldn't do this on my own. I needed his help. "I guess that's what happens when you have a kid." Luke said.

"Yup." I answered before our waiter came over and we both ordered. "Along with having a kid, it make you pee all the time. I'll be back." I said standing up and finding my way to the bathroom and hopefully Luke can keep Dax quiet for few minutes. When I walked back out he was looking up at Luke's face as he made silly faces at him. "You should have a kid." I said when I sat back down.

"Not right now." He answered and I nodded my head.

"Good, cause it's hard. You would just be a good dad." I commented to him and he smiled at me.
