The Sidemen Baby

Chapter 3

(I love this picture because it actually looks like Ethan at first glance but she should be asleep on his chest)

Ethans POV

I woke up to a loud, ear piercing scream at 3am. After wishing for ten minutes that she'd stop crying I got myself up and pulled on a robe and slippers before forcing myself to go check on her.

When I pushed open the door, Simon was already there cradling her and singing with a bottle being heated up. He turned to me and with a cheeky grin He waved me off. "Don't worry. I got this. Go back to bed, Behzy." His soft blue eyes glistened before he turned back to her with the bottle in  hand.

I waited around for a bit watching the lanky blonde soothe her before getting increasingly jealous. "Okay Si, give me my cupcake now."

He laughed softly and passed over the sleepy baby. "I'm going to bed. Night Ver." He leaned over to her to kiss her head, letting me get a big whiff of his hair.

"Wait Simon?! Are you using my shampoo?!"

He froze and squeaked before running to his room. "It makes my hair fluffy!!"

I sighed and laughed softly. What a nut job.

I rocked with Veronica for a while before turning on the tv. A repeat of a football match was on, so I moved her so she was in the crook of my arm watching with me.

"This is called Football, cupcake. One day I'm going to teach you how to play and we'll beat Simon and Tobi and you'll be the best footballer in the world." I remembered mumbling tiredly to the already sleeping baby before deciding to take a nap.

Vikk's POV

I had just finished editing at around 6 in the morning, and went downstairs for my second supper/breakfast before bed. I decided to check on the tiny mortal thing we were now housing and found her and Ethan asleep together with football quietly playing on the TV. He had his arms curled around her protectively and she was suckling softly on the sleeve of his robe.

I threw a fleece blanket over them and smiled. He was already so loving to this little baby.

I eventually made it to the kitchen after taking like a million pictures of Ethan and Veronica on Simon's IPad.

I started cooking up a couple quesadillas and jumped when I felt a pair of arms snake around my waist.

JJ had his cheek resting on my head and his eyes closed tiredly, pulling me into him tightly.

"Baby star come to bed now. You need to sleep."

"I'm okay JJ. I'm just making some food. Go back to bed." I blushed bright red and shook my head to try and wake him up.

"NooooooooooooooOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo Vikky come snuggle!!!" He whined loudly like a child and tugged on my arm. "Is bedtime!! Stars needs to sleep!"

I pried the sleepy man child off of my back and sat him in a stool with a cup of juice. "Okay okay. Wait until I'm done eating and then I'll come to bed."

He nodded tiredly and help the cup in both hands, trying to stay awake.

JJ and I had been flirting a bunch a lot lately, but it all crashed down when we slept together when we were drunk. Things had been awkward ever since, especially when he was in his tired child mind state. I tried to avoid him but it's really heckin hard to get over your first gay crush when they live with you and do cute stupid things around you constantly to get your attention.

I ate silently and watched him nod off quickly in the chair, mumbling to me about how stars should sleep in the night so he can see them during the day.

I helped him up when I was done and half lead/half dragged him to bed, praying that my legs wouldn't give out with the extra weight of him ontop of me.

When I finally got him to bed, he collapsed face down on it and groaned before wiggling the rest of his body under his blankets.

"Baaaaaaabbbyyyy Staaaaaaaaarrrr come cudddddlllleeeee!!!" He whined and made grabby hands at me before grabbing my wrist and pulling me into bed.

"JJ no!!" I squeaked and tried to get away. "I have work to do!! I... Umm.... I have to edit Simon and I's video!!" I fumbled for an excuse before he climbed ontop of me.

"Hush tiny ball of light. You're safe now. No big bad work is going to get to you now." He pet my hair and forced my face into his chest. He smelled like his cologne that Josh and I had gotten him for christmas. It was Pine and Maple scented and he wore it all the time.

Struggling was useless against the larger man so I gave up and decided to relax. He hummed softly as he was falling asleep, his warm body wrapped around me. My ear was pressed up against his rib cage and I fell asleep to the steady sound of his heart beat.
