"Blueberry muffin!" Aviella yells.

She devours the muffin in five minutes but takes her time with the chocolate milk.

Bella was feeling extra fussy today and she wouldn't stop crying unless somebody was holding her. Even now, while she was in my arms, her face was wrinkled and she wouldn't be still.

"Maybe she's uncomfortable. Take her clothes off." Justin says.

He was laying, upside down, on the bed, just being Justin. I lay Bella on the bed and work on taking her clothes off. Of course, she gets upset that I'm not holding her.

"Here, babe. Suck on daddy's finger." Justin says.

"I'm confused about who you're talking to." I say.

Justin smirks, sticking his pinky in Bella's mouth.

"That's what pacifiers are for." I say.

"Well she doesn't want that. She wants daddy's finger." Justin holds eye contact with me and I throw Bella's onesie in his face.

"Thanks for that." I wink at him and turn around to look at Aviella.

She was still happily drinking her chocolate milk, though most of it was on her face or her shirt.

"Ariana..." Justin sings.

I turn back around and he points at Bella. She had managed to spit up all over her face and her stomach.

"Well, today is just not a good day for you, is it?"

Now Bella was completely and utterly upset.

"This is great, isn't it?" Justin says.

He rolls off the bed and picks Bella up, walking into the bathroom. I follow him with wipes and a new diaper, just because. Justin places Bella in the sink, making sure she doesn't slip, and I put the wipes on the counter.

"Daddy's gonna clean you up, okay Lady Bug? And remember, daddy will always be better than mommy."

"Ha. Funny." I roll my eyes, watching Justin clean Bella up with the wipes, then with water.

"Diaper." He says.

"Are you a doctor now?" I ask, handing Justin the diaper.

"Absolutely." Justin changes her diaper and I throw the old one away along with the million wipes he used to clean my baby up.

"Here." Justin gives Bella to me so he can wash his hands and I walk into the bedroom.

"Aviella, go get dressed. Daddy's gonna take you somewhere while I stay her with Bella."

"But why can't you come with us?"

"Because, baby, Bella isn't having a good day. She just needs some rest, okay?"

Aviella nods, taking her chocolate milk and Tommy with her into her room.

"I'm gonna take her to a Hawaiian mall and spend a billion dollars, then we're probably gonna go to the beach again because why not, then we'll get some lunch and I shall call my beautiful wife to see what she wants for lunch."

"Sounds good to me. I'm gonn a stay here and sleep all day."

"Sounds good as well." Justin gets dressed while I walk around the room with Bella, trying, unsuccessfully, to put her to sleep.

Eventually, right before Justin and Aviella leave, I give her a toy to suck on that might help her gums because I know they're hurting her.

"I'm sorry I can't do anything to help you, Moonlight." I kiss her head, sitting on the bed.

"Maybe you'll feel better i f we watch your favorite show. You think that'll help?"

"I think it will. Watching Shopkins and Paw Patrol always makes me feel better!" Aviella says.

"Well that's what we'll do." Aviella walks over to me and gives Bella a hug.

"I'll see you later, sissy." I smile, kissing the top of Aviella's head.

Justin comes to plant a kiss on my lips and I smile.

"Bye. Have fun." I whisper.

"I will." He kisses me again and kisses Bella's cheek before they both leave.
