Little Things

Studio

Peta's POV

Maks, Ali and I just arrived at the studio. Lindsay was right behind us with Hallie, who was asleep. Group rehearsals start in about five minutes so we all headed to studio 3.

"Wucy!" Ali screamed running to her cousin when we arrived in the studio. The two hugged before they both went over to where Emmi was. They started playing with all the toys they had brought with them.

Not long after Alan and Brittany arrived with Addison. They literally look like zombies walking in.

"Take the baby." Britt said handing Addie to Emma and then she walked over to the steps and laid down.

"I'm taking it as Addie still isn't sleeping very well." Emma says rocking the newborn.

"You got that right!" Alan exclaimed before laying down with Brittany.

About ten minutes later Mandy came in and started choreographing. "Peta and Maks over here and Val and Jenna here. Then I need Witney and wait where's Witney?" She ordered. Suddenly the door burst opened and an out of breath Witney and Lauren come running in. "Sorry we're late, I woke up late." She explained. She immediately set her stuff down and Lauren ran off to where the other girls were.

Val's POV

After about an hour all of the girls were bored.

"Uncle Val can we do something else?" Emmi asked me. "Let's see what we can find." I told her. Then it came to me I should show them the wardrobe and then take them to see the costumes being made. "Okay I've got an idea. Ali come hold my hand and then the rest of you make a chain." I explained grabbing Ali's hand. Lucy, Emmi and Lauren make a chain.

They all walk together wondering what we're doing. Their eyes go wide as they see all the costumes.

"Look it's so sparkly!" Lauren exclaims. "That ones really pretty!" Emmi says pointing to a blue costume. "Do you guys want to see how they become so sparkly?" I ask. "Yes!" They all exclaim.

I guide the toddlers and show them where they are made.

"They do it all by themselves!" Lauren asks in amazement. "Yup they work extremely hard." I explain. I let the curious toddlers walk around and ask questions. Lauren and Emmi attentively watched someone put rhinestones on a dress, while Ali and Lucy watch someone rhinestone a suit jacket.

Not long after Emmi and Lauren had moved on to another costume. I looked around to see where Ali and Lucy went but couldn't find them.

"Ali, Lucy! Where are you?" I yelled, worried they might've hurt themselves. "We're over here Papa!" I hear Lucy exclaim.

I walk to where her voice is coming from. I move a couple of costumes out of the way to see the two covered in glitter. "We found gwitter Uncle Val!" Ali smiles. "I can see." I sighed. "Do you want some?" They ask. "No thanks girlies." I replied. They completely ignored me and started putting glitter all in my hair. Just great.

Suddenly I heard my phone ringing in my pocket. By now I had glitter on every inch of my body and now my phone will too.

I looked at the caller ID and it was Maks. "What?" I asked. He explained that we needed to come back to the studios.

"Ok everyone come on we need to go back to the studio." I said picking Ali and Lucy up. Emmi and Lauren jumped on my back and held onto my neck. Apparently now I'm a human jungle gym.

When we arrived back at the studio everyone turned and looked at us. Emmi and Lauren jumped off of my back, covered in glitter while I sat Lucy and Ali down. "Did a unicorn throw up on you guys?" Maks laughed. "No. Ali and Lucy found glitter and then all of this happened." I explained.

"We are obviously never letting Val entertain the kids again." Peta says laughing. "Ok it's not my fault they found glitter." I defended myself.

"Ali, Lucy, Emmi, Lauren and Val come over here. I'll help you get off as much glitter as possible." Jenna says holding a lint roller. We all walk over there and she does the girls first. "You look absolutely ridiculous." Jenna says as she moves the lint roller over my shirt. "But you still love me right?" I asked with a pout on my face. "Of course I do ya big glitter ball." She says kissing my cheek.

Lindsay's POV

While we were rehearsing Hallie comes up to me and tugs on my pants. "What is it baby?" I ask picking her up. "Tummy hurt." She says starting to cry. "Aww baby let's go sit down and cuddle." I said carrying her over to the steps.

"Hey Linds, what's wrong with Hals?" Witney asked sitting down next to us. "Her belly hurts. I'm afraid she's going to throw up again." I explained. "Oh the poor baby. I hope she feels better. We have to go perfect the dance, but I'll tell Mandy Hallie doesn't feel well and you're going to sit with her." She said giving Hallie a kiss on the forehead and then standing up to start dancing again.

I rocked Hallie back and forth lightly as I hummed to her. Suddenly all of the little girls running over and Lauren started speaking, "Auntie Lindsay. We're going to play tag. Does Hallie want to play with us?" "Sorry Laur but Hallie doesn't feel good right now and I don't want you girls getting sick." I explained to the toddlers. "Oh ok." She says and all of them run off and start their game of tag. Hallie had eventually fallen asleep so I watched the toddlers run around chasing each other while laughing their heads off.

Hallie slept for about half an hour before waking up and complaining that her stomach still hurt. "Do you think you might throw up?" I ask her. She nods her head, yes and she wasn't kidding. I put my hand over her mouth and ran to the trash can. After she was done I just rocked her as she cried.

"Lindsay, Hallie doesn't feel good and we all know it for sure now. You go home and care for your baby girl. We'll catch you up tomorrow." Witney tells me. I give her Hallie and quickly pack up all of our stuff before grabbing Hallie and taking her out to the car. "Thank you so much Wit! Sam couldn't take off so this was my only choice." I said hugging her.

Jenna's POV

After Lindsay and Hallie left it was time for lunch. We decided that we would make the girls macaroni and cheese while we have sandwiches and salads. Peta and Emma were making the Mac & cheese while Witney and I were making sandwiches. Brittany and Alan were trying to calm down Addie because she had woken up and was crying.

"I swear this child needs to learn to be a little quieter when crying. Like no you don't need to scream bloody murder." Brittany says which makes me laugh. "Here let me see her. She probably loves Aunt Emma more than you anyways." Emma says reaching out for Addison. Sure enough seconds after she was in Emma's arms she was silent. "Okay since your her favorite, you're going to be coming to our house and getting her to sleep at two in the morning." Alan states. "Ha you wish, but no." Emma says bouncing Addie up and down to keep her happy.

Once everyone ate it was nap time. "Mama I need my paci!" Lucy exclaims realizing she hasn't had her pacifier all day. I was hoping that we would get through the whole day without it but that obviously ain't happening. I hand her the pacifier as well as Cuddles. Before long all the little girl were sound asleep from their exciting time at the studio and us pros went back to work.
