The Sidemen Baby

Chapter 8

5 months later.

Ethans POV

Veronica was now 8 months old. She started crawling and sitting up on her own, and starting to try to talk. We all decided what we want her to Call us.

Me (Ethan): Papa
Josh: Daddy
Simon: Dad
Harry: Dino
Tobi: Baba
JJ: Tigger
Vikk: Pops

I overall spent the most time with her and we'd really bonded. She was the most adorable little girl on the planet. Her favorite animals were lions and wolves and she loved the colour red.

It was a Tuesday morning and Veronica woke us up at the crack of dawn with happy baby gurgles and banging on the bars of the crib with her sippy cup like a criminal in prison would. JJ taught her that as soon as she'd sit still long enough to learn from him.

Everyone else decided that that was one of the last things he'd ever teach her because she did it ever single morning.

I ran downstairs and scooped her up, quickly changing her and dressing her into a cute little green sundress. She stayed content by playing with the bows on the front while I made her some breakfast.

She kept tugging on my hoodie zipper and squeaking at the sound, and batting at it until I'd do it up again so she could play with it more.

"Ver Bear. Can you say Papa?"

She looked up at me with her big eyes and giggled, kicking her feet happily and clapping. She tugged on my hoodie strings and tried to put them in her mouth.

"Is that a no?" Simon laughed behind me and popped up beside me. "Can you say Dad?"

She looked up at him and clapped, her excited baby noises filling up the once empty silence.

Simon looked proud and scooped her up. "What a good little bear bear I have! I'm your dada!!"

She squeaked and wiggled, trying to grab his hair.

"Yeah? You like the red hair? Should dada make yours red too?" He tickled her and blew a raspberry on her tummy and arms.

She kicked and giggled loudly, waking up Harry. He stumbled downstairs and rubbed his face.

"Princess? Can you keep it down a bit? Dino couldn't sleep last night at all. All Dino could hear was Daddy and Daddys girlfriend banging on the wall aaaaaalll night long. Isn't that Icky!" He smiled softly and made himself a coffee.

Simon made a face. "Again? Those two are always at it. How haven't they had a pregnancy scare yet?" He teased.

Oh yeah. Josh got a new girlfriend.

Her name was Catrina,  but everyone called her Cat. She was nice enough, but I didn't really know her or much about her.

Other than the fact that she has a hot ass.

Ummmmmm I Uhhhhhhhhhh I meeeeaaan she has a very kind attitude and is good with Veronica.

Yeah. That's what I meant.

Simon handed her off to Harry and smiled. "Go play with Dino. He needs some cuddly baby time while Dada films."

Harry cuddled her and smiled, setting down his coffee and sitting with her on the floor. "Let's practice your words! A says ah! Say ah!"

She stared at him and decided that she didn't like this game.

"B says Bah! Say Bah!"

She used his leg as balance and butt scootched farther away.

"C says Cah! D says Duh! E says Eh! Ver come back here!" He tried desperately to get her interested in his learning game but she wasn't having any of it.

She wiggled onto all fours and crawled away before she bumped head first into the door. "Owwie!!"

I scooped her up and checked her head. She was fine, just a bit goofy. I opened the door and sat her back down, letting her crawl away again and, soon after, I followed.

Harrys POV

Veronica wasn't  cooperating! I wanted to get her to learn how to speak before her first birthday, but she had no interest at all. Vikk and I were set on teaching her to be the smartest kid in her class every year until she graduates but she seemed to have other plans.

Josh wandered down in just his boxers, an untied robe thrown lazily over his shoulders and dragging behind him.

"Hey Harry. Sorry about last night. It got pretty wild again." He grinned sheepishly at me.

"Oh fuck off. Having a room next to yours is bare awful mate. I hate you."

He laughed. "You're just jealous that we won't let you join."

"No I'm not! I'm pissed that I can't sleep at night because of the constant banging and endless moaning! Put a sock in it you dick!!"

"Or else what?" He smirked. "You gonna stab me again?"

"Don't fucking tempt me." I growled and sipped my coffee.

He laughed and sat at the table, scrolling through twitter and messing with his hair.

"Can you help me teach things to Veronica with me?"

He glanced up. "Well yeah. I am Daddy af after all. I can do it. Don't worry."

"Thanks Daddy."

"Harry I swear I will beat the ever living fuck out of you if you call me that again." He glared. "Or else you'll be the next one to be stabbed."
