(still Ash's pov)
This kid, has my eyes, nose, and jawline. And to top it off the mom named her starr of all things! I couldn't help but stare at her, not in a pervy, seductive way, but like in a protective way. Like I just want to protect her from all the bad things in life.. she's still technically a baby so maybe I could imprint some good behaviors. But that would mean... No partying! Fuck nooooo!!! I need partying in my life.

"Ash.. Ashley.... Ash!" I felt a sudden throbbing coming down my head as Andy was looking down on me.

"What? I'm just holding her..."

"We see that. You're doing good! She hasn't really made any noise since we left. And I was wondering.. if I could hold her?"

Woah.. didn't see that coming. I handed Starr off to her new uncle and started crying as soon as she left my grip. Awww she's a daddy's girl.

We all laughed at Andy who was now regretting have asked to hold her. "she hates me. How come she didn't cry when you held her?"

I took her back and started to bounce her immediate as if my delayed parenting instincts kicked in. "because I'm her daddy. And no you can't date her. Because you're her uncle." Daddy.. I'm a daddy.. a phrase teenage girls call their boyfriends or pimps... I was drifting off in my own thoughts when a familiar sound brought me back.

"Oh my god purdy boy has a baby!!!" It was a fan. I tried to shield Starr from the now mob scene of cameras and flashing lights causing her to stirr around in my arms, making me scared to drop her. Luckily, Jinxx came to my rescue and covered her head with a black jacket. I don't want this kind of life for my child.. in fact.. I might want another one... She's just too precious to give up. Or let her be an only child. Which means.. I would have to settle down...

Once again I was snapped out if my daydream. "come on dude! We're home!" CC yelled. He's always excited stupid things.

I rushed inside to put Starr down for a nap on my bed surrounded by giant cowprint and zebra print pillows. And to get started on building the crib I ordered on the way. (yes. Yes I rushed ordered a crib. Necessary.)

I was stuck on on the two sliding sides of the crib that you use to slide up and down to let the kid out when Jake came in. I was scratching my head in frustration when he started talking.

"Dude you're 360 from two days ago. Need a hand with that?

"Imma parent now. I have to act like one. And yeah. This thing is confusing the fuck out of me."

I handed him the directions. He was better at reading them than I was.

Jake's POV

All four of us were completely shocked at Ashleys choice. He threw in the towel of party king for diapers and a rattle. I was reading the directions to our the crib together. He had almost all of done within an hour. Wow.

He's really taking this father roll seriously. I found his problem and directed him on where each side went.

"You got it backwards bro. Switch them out and they should screw right in."

He did as I said and the light bulb went off in his head. "thanks man. That would've taken me another hour to figure that out. Directions should come with pictures."

Ashley's POV

Why couldn't I have figured that out? It was so simple when Jake said it aloud. These directions didn't come with diagrams for anyone to read.

I was once again thinking about my future with the band. Those guys got me through thick and thin. All the hangovers. And parties and sluts. Would I still be in the band when she's one? Three? Five? I am famous. I'd be making money from the record sales even if I wasn't apart of the band anymore.

~few days later on a day off~

I had decided that it time to take starr out for a bit. She'll need to get used to the attention anyway. She needed a stroller since she can't quite walk yet so I decided to head into a baby store when a woman spotted me. Clearly a fan yet she looked no more than 25..

"Hello Mr. Purdy! I'm a huge fan. Your daughter is just adorable. How old is she and what's her name?" Woah.. talk about a thousand questions. And she didn't even call me by my name.

I was still in shock when I answered and kept my grip on Starr. "thanks.. she's uh.. eight months.. and her name's Starr.." fucking hell. I didn't even ask the mom how old she was! I'm terrible.. but the woman didn't seemed phased by it.

"Starr? Such a pretty name. Did you name her after your obsession with stars?"

"Uh yeah.. something like that.. I'm sorry, did you want a selfie with me or something?" My paronia was kicking in. I was not about let this woman hold my baby.

"Really?! You'd do that even for a older woman?"

"Older? You don't look a day past 20. No offense but you look younger than me." That made her squeal. Loud too. My poor girl started crying so I had to bounce her to calm her. That made the nameless woman gush like crazy.

"Oh that's so kind of you Mr. Purdy! But I'm 36! You, handsome, don't look a day over 21." Damn.. she's desperate. Why so I always get the weird ones?

"You're only two years older than me. And did you still want that picture?" I reminded her. Hoping she'd forget. She didn't.

"Oh yes please. My daughter will get so jealous that I met her favorite member first." I wanted to throw up. This suddenly feels wrong.

I posed for the pictures and stepped inside the store suddenly being surrounded by everything baby. Cribs, beds, clothes. Everything. I was looking around at everything when yet another woman walks up.

"Welcome to Baby's R Us. Can I help you find d anything Sir?" She seemed nice. And didn't have a clue who I was. Even better.

"Uh yeah actually.... Kinda new to the parenting thing.. no stroller.."

"Aww she's a cutie. And they're right over here. Did you want a double or single?"

"Um.. I don't know what that means..." Which was true. I didn't have a clue as to what she was talking about.

"Oh very new to parenting then. A double stroller has two or three seats and a single has only one."

"A single should work just fine. Um.. I don't know what else I could need... I have the crib, the bottles..." I trail off trying to remember everything I already gotten her.

"What about clothes? You seem like you know your style. But what about hers?"

She starts waking and I try to keep up with her. She moves fast. Then my pervy mind went where it shouldn't have.

"Sir? I'd appreciate it if you'd stop staring at my bum. The little ones clothing is right over here. We also have a pleypen for her to stay in while you pick out her clothes." She didn't waste time on that. And thank God. My arms were getting tired.
