Baby Clifford

Copeland and Melody

5SOS was going on tour with Sleeping with Sirens this time. "Melody, you're going make a new friend today," Michael smiled as they got to the airport. Melody looked at him like he lost his mind. "Keep giving me that look, I'll drop you!" Michael pretended like he was going to drop her and Melody held on tighter. "Are you going to behave now?" Melody quickly nodded. Michael smiled and sat down next to someone that also had a daughter around Melody's age. (Let's say 4)

"Say hi to Melody, Copeland." The man encourage. He had long black hair and was shorter than Michael's height. "Hi!" The little girl waved happily. Melody hid her face into Michael. "Daddy, why didn't she say hi back?" Copeland asked. "She's just shy," the father, Kellin Quinn, answered.

"Melody do you want Spidey out?" Michael asked his little girl. Melody's head quickly popped up and nodded. "Then talk to Copeland." Michael replied. She gave Michael big puppy eyes and pout. "No, I'm falling for that." Michael stood his ground. Melody shyly turned towards the girl, "H-hi," she shyly spoke then gave Michael a pleading look. Michael pulled the stuffed Spider-man bear out and gave it to Melody. She quickly hugged it. "I like your bear." Copeland commented. Melody took that affective, Spidey wasn't a bear! He's a hero! "Spidey hero, not bear. His weal name Peter P-arker. I wove him." Melody explained. Michael slightly smirked at the little monster he created. "Oh," Copeland said. "Gate 18 going to London is now open. Passengers for first class can now come aboard." A female voice announced. "That's us," Michael said and picked up Melody in one arm and the carry-on in the other.

Melody sat in the second seat by her dad, who sat on the outside, then in the third was Copeland then Kellin. Across the aisle was Melody's three uncles and Gabe, the drummer of Sleeping with Sirens. "Passengers, this is your captain is speaking, we are preparing for take off. So make sure that seat belts are on." A male voice announced and after that the plane was taking off into the sky. Melody curled into a ball and stayed quiet It was her first time being on a plane, so it was a bit frightening. Michael was chuckling at something and Melody gave him a confused look. "Look at Uncle Cal," Michael smiled and pointed at Calum trying to make a fish face. Melody laughed at him. Calum made all sorts of funny faces during take off to keep Melody's mind off of the frightenes.

After a half hour on the plane, Melody yawned and tried to get comfortable and got being on her side facing Michael was the best option. "Tired baby girl," Michael asked, pushing back some of her hair. Melody nodded. "Go to sleep then baby," Michael calmly spoke and gently rubbed her back. "Love you daddy," Melody mumbled before closing her eyes. "Love you too, now sleep little one." He whispered and continued to rub her back gently. "Too cold," she mentioned. "Here you go," Michael took off his jacket and laid it on her like a blanket. Melody snuggled into it. "Now can you go to sleep?" Melody nodded and didn't take much after five minutes to fall asleep. Michael followed the same pattern.

They got to the hotel and amazingly enough, Melody was still sleeping. "Did she sleep last night at all?" Ashton asked as they got in the lobby. "Not much," Michael answered. They went to their rooms, the father daughter pairs, sharing a room. "Michael," Copeland spoke to him as he laid Melody down on the bed. "Yes?" He turned to her. Copeland held up Spidey, "You forgot him," she told him. "Thank you very much, Cope. Melody can't go anywhere without him and it would be a nightmare without him. Thank you." Michael explained before tucking the bear under Melody's arm.

Melody woke up twenty minutes later. Michael and Kellin were talking about shows and fans. Copeland was playing with blocks and that caught Melody's attention as she looked around the hotel room. The little Clifford crawled off of the bed and shyly walked over to the little Quinn. "I pway?" Melody asked her. Copeland smiled and nodded, "We can see how tall we can make a tower!" She remarked. Melody smiled, she loved this game. She quickly began to put one block on top of another. They made it to twenty before Melody couldn't reach the top any more, so Copeland was in charge of the tower now. It made it to about thirty before it started to wobble. As long as Uncle Luke wasn't playing, because he always pushed the tower down, this was her favorite part. When they didn't know when it was going to fall. "I think it's going to fall, Copeland, I wouldn't put anymore on it." Kellin warned as his daughter tried to put another one on the top, which was now thirty four. Copeland listened and held onto the block in her hands.

Both of the small girls watched in amusement as the blocks continued to rock back and forth before, bang! They all fell to the floor. Both of them giggled as the blocks scattered access the floor. "Girls, why don't you make something that won't make so much noise, like a zoo?" Michael asked, not wanting to get a noise complaint from the people below them. "But we don't have many animals!" Copeland contered. "How about I take a trip to the gift shop and get some animals for the zoo?" Kellin suggested and both of the girls agreed. "Thank you , Daddy!" Copeland hugged her father. Michael nudged Melody with his foot. "T-thank you," she shyly replied.

Kellin went down and came back with two bags. Both of the girls were very excited about the stuffies inside them. "Michael, can you help me for what ones Melody would want?" Kellin asked and Michael nodded before both of them went into the bathroom for a while.

They came back into the room and Kellin came over to Melody. "Hi Melody, do you like tigers," Melody nodded quickly. "Well, I think I might have one. Just wait," he went through the bag. "Ah! There you are." He exclaimed and pulled out a stuffed TY tiger. "His name is Tiggs," Kellin introduced her and hand Tiggs to Melody. She hugged the toy tightly to her chest and kissed the top of his head. "Now this guy is very special and needs a lot of love. Do you think you can love him very very much? He also needs a name." Kellin explained and brought a stuffed owl out. It was mainly brown, but had a white face and belly. His eyes were golden as well. Melody's hazel eyes widened at the animal. "Can you think of a name for him?" Kellin questioned, making the bird flap its wings. Melody nodded. "What is the name?" Kellin asked. "T-Thomas," she smiled. Melody named the owl after Calum's middle name. Kellin made the owl fly to his ear and whisper something. "Thomas says he loves his name." Kellin told her and then the owl whispered something again. "He said that he's looking forward to be your friend." Kellin smiled and made the bird fly to Melody, who took Thompson in her arms and kissed him as well.

"Now this last one likes to be fun and adventurous during the day, but likes to be read to and be cuddled at night before he goes to bed. Do you think you can bring him on adventures?" Kellin explained the last stuffed animal that was yet to be revealed. Melody hesitated, before answering with a yes. "Will you give him cuddles and a story before bed time?" Kellin asked. "Yes," Melody answered. Kellin brought out a money, who was almost as big as the Build-a-Bear Spider-man, and repeated the same actions she did with the other toys. "What do you want to name him?" Kellin wondered. Melody put on a thinking face before saying, "Steve, Crazy Steve." Melody named the monkey. *I love you, if you know the Crazy Steve, that isn't a monkey.*

The girls then made a zoo that consist of the Daniel, Tiggs, and a cheetah named Freckles that Copeland got, Freckles had once lived far away and needs extra love, all in the same section.

Thomas had his own little section next to an lamb, who Copeland already owned named Bell. The elephant named Sammy lived next door to the lamb. A lizard, named Alec, and a turtle, named Kylie, lived together and were best friends.

*That Night*

Both girls had taken their baths and were dressed and ready to go to bed. Yet something made their energy level sky rocket. They were both giggling while jumping on the bed. "Girls, why are you jumping on the bed? It's bedtime?" Kellin questioned them. Both of them just continued without answering. "Melody Anastasia, do you want me to take Spider-man away from you?" Michael sternly asked. Melody admittedly stopped and got under the covers, holding onto Spidey tightly. Michael sighed, he hated talking to his daughted like that. With her friend no longer jumping with her, Copeland stopped and got under the covers of the same bed that had all of the new stuffed animals in between them.

"Goodnight baby girl," Michael kissed Melody's forehead, "I love you." Michael tucked her in bed. "Wait, Daddy, Crazy Steve needs story to sleep." Melody reminded him. "How can I forget," Michael mentioned na d pulled out a Dr. Seuss book and read it. Both of the girls were practically asleep at the end of the book. "Goodnight little one, Daddy loves you." Kellin whispered and brought the blanket up a little higher. He then took a picture of the pair and the large amount of stuffed animals and post it on Twitter. 'They became and made frineds today. :)'

"I guess we have to share a bed tonight." Michael sighed. "Yeah, but no funny business, I know how you are." Kellin warned him. "I don't do that anymore." Michael mentioned before stripping down to his boxers, same with Kellin, but then he put on shorts. "Goodnight Michael," he said before off the light and getting in bed. "Goodnight Kellin." Michael replied, hoping that his insomnia doesn't act up tonight.
