''Alright.'' Matt groans, turning into a parking space. I grab my purse as Matt gets out of the car and takes Ashton out. 

''Do you want to eat lunch first or take the pictures first,'' Matt asks as he puts Ashton around his hip. I giggle a bit, knowing that Matt looks funny carrying Ashton. ''What?" 

"Nothing,'' I quickly stop giggling. ''We should take the pictures first because we are all wearing white and I bet you and Ashton would spill food all over your shirts.'' 

Ashton flips his head back and turns to me, giggling as we enter the mall. I smile at him and take him from Matt's arm. I place Ashton on the floor and grab one of his hands. ''Matt take his other hand.'' 

He takes Ashton's other hand and we start walking. Ashton starts to move and swing his legs. As we enter the store, I quickly grab Ashton away from the frames. 

We walk up to the desk and wait for an employee to come. "Hello guys, how may I help you?" 

"Can we do the family pack pictures?'' Matt asks, looking at the choices and back up at the women. 

"Sure thing," She says, giving him and I a smile before typing a few things into the computer. "That would be $110." 

"Matt grab Ashton so I can get my wallet.'' I tell him, struggling to grab my wallet. 

"Babe, it's fine I got it." Matt smiles and turns back around to the women.

"Follow me please." The women says, open the door to the back where I believe the studio is. I close my purse and fix Ashton's position on my hip. I look at the lady to see her hips shaking dramatically. "Hmm." I slightly smile at Ashton as he plays with my cheeks.

''Now, now.'' The women says, stopping. I look for her name tag. Her name is Ashely. "Let's do self-portraits first then the family pictures."

"Let's have the little man come first." Ashely says, coming forth to Ashton. I turn to Matt and make a disgusted face, trying not to be rude to the lady. She grabs Ashton and sits him down. He looks around and ends up smiling. 

"Mom, can you come over here?" 

I nod and stand in the corner, smiling. 

"Now a serious one." 

"Handsome's turn." She giggles. I turn to Matt and roll my eyes, grabbing Ashton away from him.

''I love you." He kisses my forehead. 

"What was that for?'' I smile. 

"What, I can't kiss my girlfriend and tell her I love her?'' Matt furrows, walking away from me to Ashely. 

"Do some serious ones for me." 

"Like this?" Matt asks. 

"Perfect!" She smiles at him. "Now, in this section... I set up three long logs. This center log is for Ashton."

I nod my head and move to one side of the log. Matt does the same, holding Ashton. I look down at Matt's hand and follow his pose. After taking a few pictures, Ashely decides to frame our pictures. 

"Thank you," Matt says. 

"Thanks," I smile to Ashely, being friendly as possible. Once we exit the shop, I turn to Matt. "Lunch?'' 

"Lunch." Matt says, grabbing my hand.

''Let's get Chinese food,'' I smile, looking up at Matt. He shoots me a glare and looks forward. ''It's yummy!''

''You eat that every Sunday!'' Matt raises his hands. 

''So?'' I trail, curious about his point.

''It's not Sunday.'' 

''So?'' I repeat myself, a little louder. 

''You'll be asianized!'' Matt stops and pulls the ends of my eyes back. 

''Ha!'' Ashton laughs, pushing Matt's fingers away from my face. 

''It's just food!'' I tell him. 

''Nah nah nah.'' Matt walks ahead, shaking his hips like Ashely. 

I giggle and jog, catching up to him. 

''Matt Espinosa!'' 

I turn my head quickly to the voice shocked. 

''Oh my gosh!'' A girl says in shock, jogging towards us. 

"I told you that was him.'' A young boy says, slapping the girl's arm. 

''Hey guys.'' Matt smiles, starting a conversation with them. Soon enough more girls come running. 

''You're Matt's girlfriend.'' A guy says. 

''Babe, I'm pretty sure they're married.'' Another girl says to the guy. 

''Can I touch him?'' A girl says, pointing at Ashton. 

''How about me?'' 

''Me too!'' 

''Belle!'' 

I hold Ashton as he starts to cry. 

''Awe, poor baby.'' 

''Belle, what did you do to him?"

So many voices. 

Ashton starts to cry even louder. I back up from the crowd shocked, "Back away.''

''She's not a good mom." 

"That's not even her child, dumbass!" 

"Matt whose the real mom?''

A guy comes forth through the crowd, without a care and touches Ashton's head. "Back off!'' 

"You guys need to stay away from me!'' I shout, backing away. I turn around and run towards the exit passing a familiar couple, smirking at my way.
