Ashley had been neglecting to spend time with Andy for a while. Ever since he started going back to bars again and sleeping with every girl he met. Most of the time it was CC taking care of him. He didn't mind of course, he loved it. Of course Ashley would always argue with him that he was taking Andy away from him. But it was the complete opposite, Ashley was pushing Andy away. Andy, with the mindset of that of a 1 1/2-2 year old, needed someone to care for and look after him, and Ashley wasn't doing the job. Cc ultimately stepped up and took the role of 'daddy'.
It was a pretty quiet morning. Jake and Jinxx were out doing an interview for a guitar magazine, and Ashley? Well Ashley had locked himself in his room, probably passed out from last nights 'action'. That left Andy who was luckily still sleeping, and CC who had decided to start breakfast. As soon as he had heard noises over the baby monitor, he went to go see if Andy had started to wake up.
CC's POV
I quietly make my way into the nursery we had made for Andy, and seen that he was tossing and turning. I brought the bars on the crib down and stroked Andy's hair softly. I really hope this wasn't another nightmare. He's had them ever since he saw Ashley hit something and break it while he was drunk.
Unfortunately I didn't realize that Ashley also had a monitor in his room until he came running in, making a whole bunch of noise, obviously hungover.
"What's wrong?! What happened?!" He shouted and startled Andy awake.
I smacked him across the head and shoved him out the door, "you woke him up dipshit." I almost growled loud enough for Ashley to hear. I shut the door and went to go calm Andy down. I pick Andy up and gently bounce him.
I stroke his hair, "sshhh. It's alright baby boy. You're ok."
Andy cries for a few minutes before his cries became soft sniffles and hiccups.
"See? You're ok. Ashley clearly doesn't know how to be a good daddy huh?" I ask him, not expecting a response. But to my surprise, he shook his head, letting out a small little, "nu uh," and lays his head on my shoulder. He was shaking still, and I felt extremely bad because he was still tired. I look at the clock. It was still two hours before we, I mean, I, wake him up. Guess it's gonna be an early nap time today.
I look back down at Andy, his eyes all red and tear marks going down his face. My poor little boy.
"How about we get you changed and then you can have your morning milkies and cuddle? How's that sound?" I hoped that would cheer him up a little bit.
He nods meekly, rubbing his eyes with his fist. I slipped his batman paci in his mouth and carried him over to the changing table and gently strapping him in so he couldn't roll off. I turned the little mobile on while I worked on getting him changed. I decided to leave him in his penguin footy jammies since it was a cold morning.
"Alright bubby. You ready for milkies?" I coo, unstrapping him and lifting him into my arms.
He nods, seemingly a bit happier.
I smile and head out of the room, "good. I know you like your milkies don't you?" I ask and kiss his nose.
"Yea." I didn't expect a response since he's usually really quite in the morning.
I saw Ashley sitting on the other side of the wall outside the door and all I could do was glare at him and walk away. Even Andy didn't look at him, he buried his face into my shoulder. I heard Ashley get up and walk away. I can't even deal with him right now after the way he's treated Andy.
I head into the kitchen and grab a premade bottle of formula for Andy and start to warm it up. Ever since we got him to try a specially made thing of formula from the nearest abdl store, that's all he drinks. Mostly. Once it's done warming up, I make my way to the living room and settle down on the couch, putting on Paw Patrol for Andy.
I let Andy lay across my lap as he took the bottle and slowly started to suckle down the formula.
Since it was still kinda early in the morning, I began to fall asleep with Andy in my arms. I shifted into a more comfortable position, being careful not to hurt Andy or make him uncomfortable, and laid back.
As Andy gets settled, he lays his head on my chest, curling up in my lap. It's like he wasn't even aware of his surroundings except for the tv and his bottle.
'I promise, I'll be a better daddy to you Andy. My sweet little boy.' I thought and ran my fingers through his hair.
I've had a lot of ideas for this story for a while. So I'll be updating this one every now and then.
Til next time~ X3
