•+•+•Melody's Pov•+•+

I yawned waking up. I was just dead tired. My little sister Mary had wanted to watch all the Disney movies and how could I not. I would have slept in more being It was Saturday again. And Ashton had decided he would would cancel this week. So I was sleeping like a baby who actually slept through the night. Until I ha to reach over and try to silence my demonic device called a phone. Which  had woken me up from a very wonderful dream. Zac Efron had just asked me out in a date to the moon and I was preparing my astronaut suit.

"Hello?" I yawned again answering the wretched phone.

"Melody you've got to help me!" Ashton pleaded into the phone.

"With what?" I seethed I hated mornings especially when I was tired.

"Don't be angry please, my older sister just left her kids with me and ones 2 and the other is 4 months old and I don't know what to do come help me?" He begged and I sighed.

"Okay have you fed either of them yet?" I asked knowing he hadn't.

"No it's like 8. I'm not even hungry." And I laugh.

"I'm on my way you need help." I laugh standing out of my bed and starting to get dressed. "I'm not wearing makeup I'll be at your house in like 5 text me your address." I tell him slipping on a pair of shorts.

"Okay yeah okay thanks." He sighs and I hear crying in the background and I hang up so I can finish changing.

~•+•+•~

I knocked lightly on the door of a small modest house. One I knew was Ashton's because his car was out front. The door swung open and a very frazzled Ashton opened the door with a small baby girl in his arms. She was screaming loudly but she was so cute.

"Awwwww." I coo at the baby and the baby stops screaming for a second. I take her out of Ashton's arms and start to rock her in my arms.

"Okay where's the other small child?" I ask and Ashton leads me to a kitchen. I close the front door behind me to follow him. A little boy sat on a stool throwing little pieces of cereal at the floor.

"Ash hold the baby." I whisper handing the baby over who immeadiantly starts to cry. I rush to the little boy.

"Hey little man, I'm Melody what's your name?" I ask him and he stops throwing cereal.

"I'm Hunter." The boy says turning to me.

"Hi Hunter how old are you?" I continue asking trying to distract him.

"I'm 2." He smiles holding up 3 then 2 fingers.

"Well why are you throwing cereal?" I ask trying to ignore the little girl screaming in the background.

"I don't like cereal." He shrugs at me.

"Well if you clean up all this cereal I'll get you something so much better." I tell him winking quickly at him and his smile grows.

"Stuff like ramen?" He asks and I nod at him and he rushes to start cleaning. I turn and walk to Ashton who was very angry at the baby who was crying.

"What's her name?" I ask pulling her back into her arms rocking her again.

"It's Cynthia." He sighs as she quiets down.

"Hi Cynthia, you're cute." I coo at her kissing her cheeks making her laugh and I smile.

"She's really cute." I tell Ashton looking up at him. "Now Hunter requested Ramen Noodles so go ask him how he wants them and then get them that way." I boss him rocking little Cynthia to sleep. I feel her small hand grab my finger holding tightly and sucking her thumb with her other hand. She was the most adorable little baby I've ever met. I stand up slowly to see Hunter up on Ashton's shoulders while Ashton cooked Ramen. I smiled wishing I could take a cute picture of them.

"Ash why'd you call me and not someone else?" I ask him which was a question that had been plaguing me.

"Well my only other option was Michael and if you think I'm bad with kids you haven't seen anything yet." He smiles at me handing sitting Hunter on a chair and handing him a bowl of Ramen.

"I don't think you're bad with kids." I tell him and his head whips around at me.

"You don't? Didn't you see what was happening when you came over. You're a miracle Melody." He compliments and I feel myself blush.

"Well, I think you were just overwhelmed and inexperienced." I tell him as Hunter finishes eating.

"IM BORED." Hunter shouts and I shush him.

"Hey hey, Cynthia is sleeping and if you woke her up she'd cry so why don't you have Ashton put on a movie for you so we don't wake the baby." I persuade and Hunter nods.

"I wanna watch Mickey Mouse." He whispers and Ashton nods grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the TV. I follow sitting on the couch with Hunter while Ashton turns on the show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse which must be Hunters favorite cause he looked so excited. Ashton came and sat down next to me.

~•+•+•~

"Okay Ash you're sister will be home in like half and hour and the kids are sleeping so I'll just head out okay?" I look at him. Baby Cynthia was in her crib and Hunter was asleep on the couch.

"Yeah yeah bye." He replies and I raise an eyebrow at him.

"What no thank you?" I ask grabbing my purse up off the floor and slipping on my shoes.

"Why should I thank you. You may have helped me but I still hate you." I felt like someone had just pulled on my heart and I took a deep breath.

"Whatever." I sigh.

"Seriously you said earlier I could have done it I didn't need you." He smirks and I shake my head.

"Whatever bye see ya dorkwad." I wave walking out the door and into my car. What was wrong with him? I had spent the last 4 hours helping him tend these kids and he was kind most of the time till he got angry at Hunter who was jumping off couches. The little boy started crying when Ashton yelled at him. I had to grab Ashton's arm to make sure he didn't hit him. But other than that short moment he'd been like an ideal father. Now he was all annoying and telling me he still hated me. Why did I care if he hated me? I really don't know but it made me angry. I didn't want him to hate me. No I liked Ashton and in the moment just before he proved he didn't like me. And so I shook my head took a deep breath and decided that I wouldn't give him anymore power. I wouldn't fall anymore. No, I would fall out of 'like' and I would move on. That was all I could do.

So yeah I'm in school and I hate school and I don't like it. Not even a little bit. Anyway love talking, seriously tell me what you think though. I liked it I thought that have the kids with Ash and Mel would be cute, anyways love, Melody.
