Tangled Web (Catfish Sequel) {M.C}

Chapter Eight

A/N: Fluff chapter because other than smut they are my favourite Michael scenes to write :D Sorry its been a little while. I'm ahead on chapters now though so posting should go back to regular! 

Michaels POV

The show was over and Ivy and Nova had been escorted back to the dressing room safely, so Michael could stop panicking and relax again. Nova was discussing with the guys which club they were going to go to whilst flicking through the suggestions on Google. 

Michael and Ivy however were heading straight back to the hotel. Bill had text and said that Olivia was still awake, and Michael wanted to spend as much time with her as he could so they were giving the clubbing a miss. He told Ivy she could go if she wanted, not that she needed his permission, but just so that she didn't feel obliged to go back, but she felt the same as him.

They arrived back at the hotel and went straight up to Bill's room to get Olivia. She was babbling away and was very happy to see her mummy and daddy. They said thank you to Bill before heading back with Olivia and her things. 

"You go to sleep, I'll watch Olivia." Michael offered. "I want to spend as much time as possible with her anyway." 

"Okay." Ivy didn't protest. She was tired, and she knew it would be good for Michael. 

Ivy got undressed and laid under the covers.

"I love you."She muttered before giving into the exhaustion. 

"Just you and me my little lady." Michael told Olivia. 

Olivia babbled away, as Michael recalled what Bill had said about her needing a bottle. 

He went to the kettle and flicked it on whilst prepping the formula. He couldn't remember how many ounces she had though, and he didn't want to wake Ivy. He felt like he should know, but he knew she was eating and having less milk, he just didn't know how many scoops of powder she was having now. He reluctantly text Bill, hoping he was still up. 

Luckily Bill text back in minutes and told him she had 8 oz for a bed time bottle. 

He put 8 scoops of the formula into the bottle and poured the boiling water from the kettle into it, shaking it once he'd replaced the teat, and then placing it into a cold jug of water to cool it down. 

It cooled down just at the right time. Olivia started to get grizzly as Michael pulled  the bottle out of the water for the sixth time and squirting some onto his wrist and found it to be the right temperature at last. 

He dried the outside of the bottle and passed it to Olivia who couldn't get the bottle in her mouth quick enough. Michael carried her over to the bed, and placed her next to Ivy, before grabbing the TV remote and sitting down beside her. He flicked through before eventually putting a kids film channel on with a cartoon on that he didn't recognise. 

Not long later, Olivia's bottle was about to be finished with. As Olivia drank the last ounce her eyes began to flutter and she fell asleep. 

"Typical. I know you're like me when you sleep, but jeeze." He muttered to her.

He left her for a few minutes longer, then picked her up and held her close. 

"I miss you so much. This is all for you though. When daddy gets home we will have a lot more money, and I can afford to move us to a bigger house, and I have a massive break after this tour so I can spend lots of time with you." He told her.

"Night princess." Michael kissed her on the forehead and slowly lowered her into the travel cot before tucking her blanket over her. 

He changed the channel, putting Family Guy on and eventually drifted off to sleep himself.
