Cheryl & Liam - I've Tried Everything

Chapter 19

"Right Roo, I've got some phone interviews this morning so I'm gonna be in the music room but you can't come in okay?" Liam asked Ruby as they both ate their breakfast cereal, Cheryl and Amelia both asleep in Liam's bed after Amelia had woken up several times throughout the night and refused to sleep unless she was cuddling into her mother.

"Okay, can we bake when you're done please?" She asked sweetly, loving it when she baked with her mum.

"Of course we can sweetheart, what do you want to do whilst I'm on the phone?" He asked.

"Have you got any playdoh?" She asked with a mouth full of cereal making Liam laugh.

"Your mam will tell you off if you speak with your mouthful," He told her making her giggle and cover her mouth, "but yes I do have some playdoh from when you used to stay here so I'll go and grab it in a bit"

"YAY!" Ruby cheered, spooning her last bit of cereal into her mouth.

"Do you know what we can do right now though?" Liam asked, smirking slightly at her.

"What?"

"IMPROMPTU DANCE PARTY" Liam shouted and ran over to the speakers and turned it up before lifting Ruby into the air and spinning her around as they both giggled away as 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams blasted through the speakers.

"CAUSE IM HAPPY, CLAP ALONG IF YOU FEEL LIKE A ROOM WITHOUT A ROOF" They both started singing.

Meanwhile, Cheryl had awoken by the cries of Amelia a mere 10 minutes before Liam and Ruby had decided to have an impromptu dance party. After Cheryl had breast fed Amelia and burped her, she heard the music start in the kitchen making her chuckle before pulling herself up with Amelia in her arms to go and check it out.

Cheryl leant against the kitchen door frame with a gurgling Amelia in her arms, smiling brightly at her daughter and Liam dancing around the kitchen. As Liam swayed his hips around and turned his head he noticed Cheryl in the doorway and immediately grinned at her, running over and grabbing her hand so she could join in.

"Mammy, dance like me" Ruby laughed as she started to wiggle her bum to the music making all three of them giggle along.

"Like this?" Cheryl asked as she shook her bum like Ruby did, Liam copying her too as they all couldn't stop giggling.

As the song finished, they all calmed down and Liam turned down the music motioning for Cheryl to pass Amelia to him so he could put her down so Cheryl could eat her breakfast.

"Right, I was telling Roo earlier that I've got to go and make some radio calls so if if you need me I'll be in the music room. Is that okay?"

"Of course it is babe, we'll be fine in here won't we Rubes?" Cheryl asked Ruby as she nodded in agreement.

Liam just smiled at them and ruffled Ruby's hair before leaving the mother and daughter to finish their breakfasts. Whilst Cheryl was sitting eating her breakfast, she couldn't get a word in edge ways as Ruby was chatting her ear off like usual. It was so obvious that Ruby was Cheryl's child, her mother always telling her stories about how when Cheryl was younger she wouldn't stop chatting and at several times people would leave the room and come back half an hour later to find her still chatting away. Cheryl couldn't help but laugh after realising that Ruby really was her mini me.

"Bobby's coming over late Rubes" Cheryl smiled down at her daughter, watching her make shapes with the playdoh.

"Really?!" Ruby gasped, a smile immediately widening on her face.

"Yep, and Auntie Kimba and Auntie Nicola" Cheryl told her, laughing as Ruby started to do a funny dance in her seat, clearly excited that she was going to see her best friend and aunties.
