4:00 am

"Ari, come on, baby." Justin places his hand on my back and I groan.

"Leave me alone."

"It's time to go, princess."

"It's too early for that. I went to sleep 2 hours ago."

"Who's fault is that? You can sleep in the car."

"It's your fault. You kept me awake."

"Get up."

"Carry me."

"No." He pulls me out of the bed and drags me to the door.

"Car, now."

"Can I get dressed first?"

"Oh, yeah. I got Jaycee." He walks out and I get dressed in the leggings and sweatshirt that was laying on the chair.

"Why are you obsessed with my sweatshirts?" Justin asks when I walk downstairs.

"I don't know, okay?" He laughs and we walk outside.

Jaxon is already asleep in the 3rd row and Jazmyn is playing on her phone in the 2nd row. Justin buckles Jaycee's car seat in the 2nd row and I get in the 3rd row with Jax.

"I get to sit by the baby?" Jazmyn asks.

"Yeah. And you also get to feed her and change her diaper." Justin says.

"No, I don't."

"I know. I was just kidding." He sits next to me in the back and puts his arm around my neck.

"You can sleep now."

"I'm not tired anymore."

"Oh." He nods and we wait for Pattie and Austin, who I haven't seen all morning.

But, by the time they get in the car about 5 minutes later, everyone else is asleep.

4 Hours Later

"There she is." Justin says.

"Ari's awake!" Jax says.

"Let the girl wake up. She's probably confused." Pattie says and I smile as Justin strokes my hair.

"Daddy, where are we?" Jazmyn asks.

"Almost in San Bernardino."

"Are you gonna wake up soon?" Justin says.

"I am awake."

"Oh. Just making sure." He strokes my cheek and kisses my forehead.

"Get a room!" Jax says.

"Shut up." Justin says and I giggle.

I sit up and Jazmyn turns around to face us.

"Your baby's awake." She says.

"Would my baby like to eat?"

"Can I do it?"

"Yeah."

"Then yes she wants to eat." I shake my head and make a bottle.

When I finish shaking it up, I give it to Jazmyn and take Jaycee out of her car seat. I place the baby in Jazmyn's lap and sit back in my seat.

"No, get back up." Justin says.

"Why?"

"I liked the view."

"Shut up." I giggle.

"10 minutes until San Bernardino." Austin says.

"Can we get there any quicker?" Jaxon says.

"You have to pee, don't you?" Justin asks.

"Yeah!" He whines.

"Hold it for 10 more minutes. You'll be okay." Pattie says.

"Whatever you do, don't pee on me." I say.

"I can't promise anything."

"Yes you can. Think about something else."

"Like what?"

"Anything. Video games, pinching Justin in the face..."

"Oh really? I'll throw you both out the window." Justin says.

"No you won't." Jazmyn says.

"You stay out of this."

"Don't be mad because I'm right."

Justin stays silent after that and I lay my head on his shoulder. I close my eyes and almost fall asleep, but he wakes me up when we get to San Bernardino.

Austin stops at McDonalds and Jax hurries out of the car with Pattie and Justin. After putting Jaycee back in her car seat, Jazmyn goes inside and I wait for Jaycee to fall asleep, which takes about 2 seconds, before following everyone else inside.

2 Hours Later

"I remember about 10 minutes ago, you said you were going to sleep." Justin says.

"I did. But, I'm not. So deal with it."

"Attitude."

"That's not attitude. That's stating facts."

"You will go to sleep if I put you to sleep."

"I'm not a baby."

"Something tells me otherwise."

"And what's that?"

"Well, I like to do this thing. It involves me and your hair."

"Oh God, no."

"I won't, baby girl. You can stay awake if you want."

"I didn't know I needed your permission."

"You don't."

"Are you two done being stupid?" Pattie asks.

"Probably not." Justin says.

"And you're right."

I lay my head on Justin's shoulder and he wraps his arm around me. Austin turns onto a busy street and Jaxon's head falls into my lap. I giggle and stroke his hair.

"What are you two doing back there?" Pattie asks.

"Nothing." Justin says quickly.

"You make us sound guilty when you do that."

"Well, we're not doing anything, to answer your question."

"Mhmm."

3 Hours Later

"7 more hours until we get there." Austin says.

"That went faster than I thought it would. Are you speeding?" Justin says.

"Absolutely." Justin shakes his head and I continue playing on my phone.

"What are you playing?" He asks.

"A game."

"What else could you play?"

"You, an instrument, a sport... The list goes on."

"Me? Is there another m-"

"Don't start, shut up, hush, be quiet."

"Point taken."
