"baby, i have to tell you something," daniel said, as we were sitting next to each other in the kitchen while eating dinner.

"yeah, what?" i asked, looking over at him with a questioning look on my face.

"well, so you know how we had a bunch of meetings yesterday?" he asked me.

i nodded cautiously, not knowing where the conversation was heading.

"well, we're going on a small tour in may to promote our new ep and the next big tour we're having," he told me, sighing.  

i scrunched up my face and looked down, only one thought running through my mind: the babies are due on may 24th. what if he can't be there?

"daniel, what days in may?" i questioned him.

"the 15th through the 29th," he explained, and i exhaled deeply.

"babe, the babies are due the 24th," i warned him, shaking my head.

"i know, and i told david that. he said i'm free to come back to la the 20th and the boys can finish it without me. he also said that he's been planning this since before we knew about the babies, so he can't exactly cancel it now since there's already starting to be ticket sales," i just groaned in annoyance and leaned back in my seat.

"just as long as you're there. that's all that matters to me. as long as you're there, the tour will be no problem to me" i told him.

"i don't think corbyn is even coming with us because baby jacob is going to be born before the tour even starts," daniel said, "also, ellery is coming with us since zach refuses to be away from her now."

"where are you guys going?" i asked.

"um, i think it's kansas city, las vegas, houston, new york city, and orlando," he told me, "i really wish you could come."

"i wish i could come too, dani, but i have to do what's safe for the babies," i sighed, rubbing my stomach and imagining the future, "god, i can't wait until i have them out of me."

"just five more months. then we'll have our precious babies," he smiled, and i smiled back at him and laying my head on his chest.

"okay, if you want to cuddle, i would preferably not want to do it while sitting at the kitchen table," he laughed, and i pouted.

"there's never a place where you can't cuddle," i told him.

he chuckled and picked me up from my seat and into the living room, laying me down on the couch. he laid down next to me and wrapped his arm around me, while i snuggled up to him and put my forehead on his chest,

"okay, we can cuddle here," he laughed, and i hummed in response.

i could quite literally be cuddled up with daniel all day and not get bored. he's so damn comfortable. i wonder if he's part pillow or something because god fucking damn he's even more comfortable than the bed, and that's a lot to say. i really like beds.

"babe, what are you thinking about?" daniel asked, after noticing that i was being awfully quiet.

"how you're probably the descendant of a pillow, or maybe a bed, because you're really fucking comfortable," i mumbled, scooting closer to him.

"wow, thanks. that's the greatest compliment i've ever received," he chuckled, "i'll gladly let you cuddle with me all day."

"good, because i wasn't planning on moving from my spot," i told him, readjusting myself to make me more comfortable.

"do you want to watch tv?" he asked me.

"sure," i replied, so he grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, picking out a tv show that we like to watch together.

we laid in a comfortable silence for a while, watching the animations on the television screen, until we heard a bang from the kitchen. we both looked at each other confused, until daniel sat up and said he was going to go see what made the noise.

he left the room, and came back with an annoyed expression on his face.

"zach and jack got bored so they broke into our house," he said rolling his eyes.

"it's not breaking in if you leave the back door unlocked!" zach yelled from the kitchen, causing me to giggle.

i got up from the couch, turning off the tv, and skipped into the kitchen to go greet jack and zach.

"hello children," i smiled, hugging them.

"i'm not a child!" zach argued, crossing his arms like a baby.

"neither am i," jack pouted, doing the same movements with his arms as zach.

"i'm older than both of you," i reminded them, giving them a sassy facial expression.

"hey, you're only older than me by seven days!" jack pointed out, his voice going higher as he tried to defend himself.

"it's okay jack, you're not a child. but he," i pointed to zach, "is. he needs to learn to treasure the good old days of being a twenty-one year old."

zach rolled his eyes at us, lightly laughing at our conversation before leaving out of the back door and going back to the other boys' house.

"okay jack, you can leave now, too," daniel said from behind me, pushing jack out of the house behind zach.

once they were both out, daniel made sure to lock the door that time so they couldn't come back in. knowing jack and zach, though, if they wanted to, they could find another way into our house because they are very clever guys.

"aww, is dani jealous that i was giving them more attention," i cooed, wrapping my arms around daniel.

"no," he murmured, but i knew he was lying.

"uh-huh, sure. then why did you kick them out after i started paying attention to them and not to you?" i question him, and his cheeks flushed red, due to embarrassment.

"okay, maybe i was only a tiny bit jealous," he sighed, hiding his face in the crook of my neck.

"it's okay, daniel. how about we go lay down in bed and watch a movie or something?" i suggested, and he nodded his head eagerly.

we went upstairs to our room, doing our nightly routines, and laid in bed. before daniel could ask me what movie i wanted to watch, i passed out on his chest.
