10. Cravings.

Luke.

I didn't know what time it was, all I knew was that it was too early in the morning and Victoria was already in the kitchen. This was really unusual since she slept in until late so I really wanted to know what was going on. I stand up from bed after putting on my flip flops and rub my eyes as I walk to the kitchen where all the noise was coming from. "Darling?" I called as I walked in the kitchen. My eyes went wide open when I saw the incredible mess there was everywhere with boxes of food and everything out of the shelves while Victoria sat on one of the stools clearly frustrated. "Tori, what's wrong? What is all this mess?" I ask worriedly as I placed a hand on her back to rub softly as a comfort. She shook her head and pushed her hair back from her face. I check the time in the clock on the wall and sigh. "Babe, it's 7:30 in the morning. I know something's wrong" I said sleepily before she turned to see me with a small frown on her face. She wrapped her arms around my waist and rested her forehead against my chest before answering my first question. "I'm craving some crackers with mayo but we don't have any crackers" she said softly and I couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. "Crackers with mayo? Well, neither of us like crackers so why would we have any?" I say softly, looking down at her with my arms around her. "But I'll go get some crackers for you, alright? You go back to bed and I'll be back in a few minutes" I added and she nodded before standing up and pecking my cheek. "Thank you, baby" she said before walking up to our room.

Calum.

Mackenzie and I usually liked going to get groceries together because it was fun somehow. We sometimes fooled around the store and it was fun for us when a fan or two spotted us. Today wasn't going to be any different than the other days so you can guess who I was shopping groceries with. We walked through every aisle, taking everything we needed and putting it in the cart until we reached the area with the fridges. I watched Mackenzie as she walked to where the dips and sour cream were and I frowned a bit when I saw her taking an onion and garlic dip. She never liked that thing but maybe she's just getting it for me since she knew I liked it with tortilla chips. "Cal, do we have any tortilla chips at home?" She asked and I shook my head. Without saying anything, she ran off to look for a bag of tortilla chips as I continued putting in the cart the stuff that was missing. I didn't know when she got back to me or even when she opened the tortilla chips and the dip but when I turned around I saw her eating tortilla chips with a lot of dip on them. "What are you doing?" I ask with an eyebrow raised and a smile on my face. "Eating" she simply said before taking another tortilla chip with dip. I chuckle a bit and shake my head slightly. "We haven't even paid for that, babe. And I didn't know you liked onion and garlic dip" I said softly as I continued walking to the next aisle. She looked at me and shook her head. "I don't like it but these two little babies inside me do" she said and giggled softly before she kept eating. "Just like their father" she added with a cheeky smile. I never thought that I'd ever see Mackenzie eating that dip but apparently that's one of her cravings.

Michael.

Children parties were never my kind of thing, I didn't like attending to any of those but when it came to Luke's or Calum's children I wasn't going to be absent. Plus, I might have to get used to them from now on since Hope and I are expecting a baby. As soon as we got to Luke's house, Hope and I immediately noticed Luke's and Victoria's nephews running around, candies everywhere and a bouncy castle in the backyard. Since it was Luke's baby's fifth birthday, there was a family party going on at the moment and I really didn't know how I was going to handle something like this when our baby was born. We were greeted by Victoria and Luke in the kitchen and they immediately guided us to the backyard where everyone was. We sat at the same table where the rest of the guys and their wives were. After a while of talking to them and such, Hope started poking my arm as she asked me for something. "Mikey, can you get me another cotton candy?" She asked with a smile and I looked at her. She had already eaten one but she still wanted more and I didn't know why. "Babe, you already are one. Isn't that bad for the baby?" I ask and she pouted a bit. I sigh and ran a hand through my hair before standing up. "We'll share it okay?" I said before going to get another cotton candy for Hope. As soon as I got back, she basically ripped the bag where it came, open and started eating with a smile. "God, this has never been so good. Michael, you have no idea" she said and I chuckled. "That's because you're craving it, for me it's still a regular cotton candy" I said and chuckled a bit.

Ashton.

You know that feeling that you haven't slept anything when someone wakes you up at night? Well, that's exactly how I felt when I felt someone, Spencer, shaking my shoulder gently and whispering my name to wake me up. I groan a bit and open my eyes slightly only to see her sitting with her legs crossed right next to me and a smile on her face. "What's wrong, baby girl?" I ask sleepily as I close my eyes again. I take a deep breath as I wait for her answer and, after I don't get one, I open my eyes to look over at her. I notice that the smile she had on her face had faded away and now she was looking down at her hands on her lap. I sit up on our bed as I rub my eyes tiredly and look at her, feeling worried for her. "Babe, is everything okay?" I ask and she shook her head slightly. "I'm sorry for waking you up, Ash. Go back to sleep" she said and I sighed, tilting her head up my eyes to meet hers. I peck her lips and gave her a small smile as if telling her that it was alright. I really wanted to know why she woke me up this late. "I'm craving bacon and Nutella" she said and I chuckled a bit, figuring out why she woke me up. She didn't know how to cook bacon so I was the one cooking it all the time, which I didn't mind at all. "Alright, I'll cook some bacon for you. Stay here, warm and comfy; I'll be right back" I told her with a smile before pecking her cheek. "And I couldn't find the Nutella" she added before I walked downstairs. "I'll find it" I assured her and walked to the kitchen. I really found it adorable that she was all embarrassed for waking me up this late at night but I wasn't going to say no to her. Especially since she was craving it, which meant our baby wanted it. It was a weird craving but I wasn't going to say anything about it.
