[Julia's POV]

I unlocked the door to me and Pete's house. Once I unlocked it, I stepped inside. I saw Pete was pacing the room. He saw me and ran to me.

"Is she alright?"he asked. "That's our best friend!"

I pecked his lips so he could relax. I smiled. "She's alright. She's...she's going to have a baby!"

He was shocked. "Patrick and Anna?"I nodded. "That's great!"

"I know!"I walked upstairs with Pete behind me.

I soon heard screaming get louder and louder. I saw Melody with tears in her eyes, holding a teddy bear that Pete got her.

"Mommy! Th-the zombies are trying to get me!"she ran down the stairs and into my arms.

"Honey...did you have a bad dream?"I said.

She let go and nodded. "Daddy let me watch that zombie show yesterday!"

I let Melody down and she stood in the staircase. I turned and looked at Pete. He was trying not to make eye contact at me at the moment.

"Pete, I told you she can't watch The Walking Dead! She's too young!"I told him.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know she was down stairs."he told me.

"You completely ignored me and you let her?"I crossed my arms.

"Baby, I'm sorry."he said.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at Melody.

"Melody, baby, zombies aren't real!"I told her. "They are just made up!" She wiped her tears and hugged me. "Now, go back to bed. It's 2:30 in the morning."

She nodded and ran back up to her room. I turned and faced and Pete.

"How could do you let her watch it!?"I whispered.

"I'm sorry, Julia. I really am!"he said.

I ran upstairs with Pete behind me. I didn't clothes our bedroom door. Even though I was mad at him, I wanted to be in his arms. He grabbed my hand before I could walk in the bathroom and change. He pulled me close to him and kissed him. I know I always did this, I forgave the living crap out of him. A smile soon came across my lips as we kissed. Pete pulled away and looked at me.

"You forgive me?"he asked.

I nodded. "I can't stay mad forever!"I told him.

[Pete's POV]

I woke the next morning with Julia in my arms.  She was sound asleep and looked so peaceful. I felt her heart beat on my shoulder as her chest was there. Her blonde highlighted hair was in her face and I moved it out of the way. I saw soon her eyes opened and she smiled at me. 

"My Petey. Morning, sweetie."she said.

I kissed her forehead.

"Morning, baby."I winked at her. She blushed and covered her face with the covers. "What?"I said.

"I just love it when you call me baby...It's to the point where I get all red."she told me.

I pulled the covers down to see her face. "Well I love it when your face is all red from blushing."

She kissed my lips and giggled. I heard her phone bus, causing her to pull away.

"Hold on..."she told me.

I nodded. She leaned over to her nightstand and grabbed her phone. She looked at it and smiled.

"My family wants to do a family reunion tomorrow!"she said happily.

I soon looked shocked. "WHAT!"I yelled.

She looked at me. "Family reunion! You and Melody will be the new addition to the family!"she smiled big.

I got out the bed and put on a shirt.

"I'm not going..."I said.

I didn't want to go, knowing her family will hate me. They have never seen an emo like me, especially an emo being a father...I'm failing at fatherhood.

"Pete, why?"Julia asked, getting out the bed.

I pulled she shirt over my head. "They'll hate me. I'm an emo. They won't like that. I'm failing at being a responsible father too."I told her.

"Pete, don't you dare say that!"Julia yelled. I looked at her and she walked over to me. "Pete, my family loves everyone who's a new addition! When my brother got married they loved his wife and his son. And I bet they'll love you too! Just because you're emo and everyone in the schools hated you, Pete, doesn't mean my family will. You saw me. I didn't hate you. I fell for a cute, handsome emo guy who soon became the best father ever!"

"Julia, just admit it, I'm not the best father. I disobeyed what you said about Melody not watching The Walking Dead. I was over my head when she said her new friend was a boy."I said sitting down on our bed.

Julia sat down next to me and rested her head on my shoulder. She sighed.

"Baby, those were just some mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes. But they don't mean you aren't responsible and you're a horrible father. I've messed up too, Pete. But I'm not saying I'm a horrible mother. Plus I'm not the greatest mother. Pete, we are new at this. Our daughter isn't 13 or 17. Till then, we will be used to it. But baby, it just takes some time." Julia kissed my lips and got up. "Come on. I'll make you some pancakes."

She held out her hand with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back at her beautiful brown eyes. I took her hand and got up. She tried to pull me into a hug, but I kissed her. She slowly pulled away with a smile.

"Thank you..."I said.

She rubbed her little nose on mine. "You're welcome baby..."

We both headed out of our room. Before she walked down stairs, she said she was going to wake up Melody. When she was going to open the door, I got in her way.

"I'll get her,"I told Julia.

She nodded and went down stairs. I opened up Melody's room and saw her fast asleep. I smiled seeing my beautiful daughter. I walked over to her and hook her slowly. Her eyes soon opened and her brown eyes shined. A smile appeared on her face.

"Daddy!"she wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Good morning, Princess!"I lifted her up and out of her bed. "Mommy is making breakfast!" She squirmed in my arms. "But hold on! I have a question."

I sat her down. She stared at me nervously. "Is this about the glue I put on my hands?"

I chuckled. "No, baby. It's about me. Am I a good daddy to you?"

She kissed my cheek. "Yes!"she nodded.

I smiled and hugged her. "Thank you, Princess!"
