All Grown Up

32

Paige's POV

I walked in the exercise room. I put my speaker down, pushing shuffle on my workout playlist. I laid on the floor and did sit-ups. After doing about 50 sit-ups and 25 press ups, I got on the treadmill. I turned up the speed, jogging. I felt another presence and stopped the treadmill. I turned and looked at Liam and Aubrey.

"I was looking for you." I grabbed a towel, wiping the sweat off my face.

"Here I am." I walked over to him. "Trying to lose the weight this little one made me put on." I smiled, poking her tummy. She spit out her pacfier, grabbing my finger.

"She hasn't too long waken up." I put her back pacifier in her mouth, lightly pecking her head. She looked at me before averting her attention to my finger she was holding.

"Well unless you and her are going to watch me work out, please leave." He chuckled, walking out. I went back to the treadmill, jogging yet again. Liam came back with her diaper bag and swing. He laid Aubrey in the swing, putting a small teddy bear in it and walked over to the bench.

He took off his shirt and laid back. He lifted weights and I got off the treadmill. I grabbed a jumprope and was about to start when I heard Aubrey cry. I ran over and wiped the sweat off my body. I picked her up while single-handedly fixing a bottle. I gave her the bottle and she stopped crying.

I held the bottle with my chin, putting a bib on her. She finished the bottle and I held her up to burp her. She burped and fell asleep on my shoulder. I laid her back in the swing and went back to my workout.

I jumped rope for a bit, did some squats, and then stopped. "Finished?" I looked at Liam and nodded. He stopped lifting and got up. I wiped the sweat off my body and picked up my sleeping child.

She woke up, spitting out her purple pacifier. "Hey Bre." I smiled, putting the pacifier on my finger. She looked at me with her beautiful light brown eyes. "My beautiful baby girl." A small smile started to form on her face. Liam grabbed the swing and the baby bag. I followed him back to our room and he took Aubrey from my arms.

"I'll watch her so you can go shower." I smiled and pecked his cheek, putting the pacifier in her mouth. I grabbed clothes, running to the bathroom. I showered and got dressed, drying my wet hair. I went back to the room to find my daughter laying on Liam's chest, sleeping.

Soft snores came from Liam's parted lips and I smiled. I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture. I posted it on Twitter.

I walked downstairs and sat on the couch. I turned on the TV and watched the gossip show. "Liam and Paige Payne have a new child. The two were seen leaving the hospital with a newborn. The baby girl was born on yesterday. Speaking of baby girls. Is Peyton Payne engaged?" I chuckled turning up the volume. "The 18 year old was spotted today at an amusement park with a guy and sources say she had a diamond ring on her left hand. Pictures of Peyton and the young man holding hands and being somewhat sexual were seen on social media." A picture of Peyton and Greyson walking in the park and one of Greyson's hand on her bum popped up. "Gosh Peyton! Slow down girl!"

The door opened and Keisha ran in with Mimi hot on her tracks. "Is it true?" I nodded, smiling.

"And she didn't tell me!!" Mimi huffed, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Calm down. She hasn't told anyone but me." I turned the volume down and heard crying. "Be right back." I ran upstairs and looked at Liam changing Aubrey. I picked up the pacifier off the carpeted floor. I put a clean one in her mouth and she spit it back out, still crying. I picked her up, rocking her gently and putting the clean pacifier in her mouth again. "Shh. It's okay baby girl." She stopped crying and Liam smiled sleepily. "Go back to sleep babe. I got her." He pecked my cheek, laying down. I took Aubrey downstairs and Keisha immediately took her from me.

"She's beautiful. Looks exactly like Liam." Peyton and Greyson walked in.

"You two have explaining to do!" Mimi dragged them in the kitchen and I chuckled.

"Sounds familiar. Especially since I was always in Peyton's place." I chuckled.

Mimi's POV

Peyton was in Greyson's lap. "When did this happen and why didn't you tell me?"

"Last night and I was going to." She showed me the ring.

"Beautiful." She nodded and Greyson buried his face in her neck. "There's pictures of you two with his hand on your ass."

"Someone was staring at me and I told him so he grabbed it." She ran a hand through her hair and I sighed, sitting down.

"You two are goals honestly." I smiled.

"My cousin saw you in a picture Peyton sent me and asked me if you were single but at that moment you were with Jake." Greyson looked at me, "You want his number?" I nodded and gave him my phone.

He put the number in and gave it back. Lucas. I thought of 5SOS and silently laughed. I looked up from my phone to see the couple in front of me snogging. I hoped they don't swallow each other. I decided to message Lucas.

To Lucas: Hi is this Greyson's cousin?

Lucas: Yeah. Who is this?

To Lucas: I'm Amira but I go by Mimi. Greyson said you asked about me once.

Lucas: I'm gonna hurt him. I did but he said you were in a relationship.

To Lucas: Not anymore. I broke up with him. He's a douche.

Lucas: Well I'd like to get to know you. Would you want to hang out sometime?

To Lucas: Sure :) How about tomorrow?

Lucas: Of course. I'll call you.

Lucas: I've gotta go but we can talk later.

To Lucas: Okay talk to you later.

I smiled and looked up. Peyton stared at me. "What are you smiling at?" I shook my head and she snatched my phone.

"No! Give it back!" She smirked, scrolling through the conversation between Lucas and I. "Peyton give it!" She shook her head typing something on my phone. She gave it back and I looked at her.

"Relax I wasn't actually doing anything." She giggled picking up her phone.

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes, opening Piano Tiles on my phone.

Paige's POV

Liam walked in and sat beside me. "Hi there sleepyhead." He chuckled, putting his arm around my shoulders.

"I saw your tweet." He smiled at me.

"What did she tweet?" He pulled out his phone and opened Twitter.

"Wait." He looked at his phone, confusion written on his face. "Is Peyton back?"

"Yeah why?" He gave me his phone.

'@peytonnnpayneee: The rumors are true. I'm engaged.'

It was a picture of her and Greyson attached to the tweet. "Pey?" She walked in and looked at me. "What's with the tweet?"

"Because everyone keeps asking if it's true."

"I don't care about that. You told him yes and didn't tell me? I'm your father!"

"Sorry daddy!" She sat in his lap, hugging him.
