After All • Calum Hood (Sequel to ISTTY)

We ended up going to Target, as we were walking down the aisle we ran into a couple of fans around 14 or 17 years old, they asked Madeleine if she could take us some pictures

—Of course, pass me your phone -Madeleine says with a smile- now, smile -she takes the picture- look, tell me if you don't like it and I take it again, you just can't meet your idol and leaving with an ugly or blurry photo -she jokes, making us laugh-

—It's cute, thank you so much, Madeleine -one of the girls smile at her- we wanted to ask you if... If we could take a picture with Wyatt too

I turn to see Madeleine expectant of what she might say since she's over protective of our son when it comes to being on the spotlight, she turns to see me and smiles, then turns to face them

—Only if you tag us when you upload it -she jokes- I'll be checking my tags! -she turns around to take Wyatt out of the shopping cart and hands him to the oldest girl, I smile at the scene-

Thankfully, we found out Madeleine had postpartum depression, because If we wouldn't have, this moment would be so different. She became much more caring about my fans, I always stay expectant whenever these situations happen just to see her reaction, and I don't even know why since she's been so nice

—He's so gorgeous and chubby -the oldest girl touches Wyatt's cheek- but I must admit he looks only like Cal -we giggle-

—And you're telling me? -Mad jokes while positioning the phone in front of the girls while the girls get ready for the picture- done, here you go -she hands them the phone and grabs Wyatt again-

—And what about you, can we take a picture with you? -the eldest girl sheepishly asks-

—With me? -Mad stutters a little bit confused, she turns to see me and I smile at her, I could tell she was surprised- yeah, of course, come on. Hand the phone to Calum -Mad says while she hands me Wyatt and position between the two girls-

"I can't believe this, Calum it's actually holding my phone right now" the oldest girl whispers loud enough for us to listen and chuckle

—Here it is -I hand her the phone and smile-

—Thank you so so much -both kept saying- you two are so nice, even nicer than I expected... And Wyatt is such a gorgeous prince, thank you again, take care

Mad and I said goodbye and we keep walking the aisle of babies, Wyatt needed some stuff, he was already running out of baby wipes, lotions and shampoo

—That was weird, wasn't it? I mean, the fact that they asked me for a picture -Madeleine says blushed-

—Don't think so, I mean, I knew it would happen any time -I confess, she checked some things on a the shelf and threw some into the cart-

—Really? Because I never thought about it, I thought I'd always be the photographer -she says making me laugh-

—Well, now you see you aren't always gonna be the photographer -I joke-

—You know what I'm craving? -she says out of the blue- Salmon, I don't know but I'm craving salmon so bad

—Cravings? It seems to me that baby two is on the way -I joke and she widens her eyes-

—What?! No -I laugh- definitely, there's no baby number two on the way... I think -she narrows her eyebrows-

—You think? Think? That means you aren't sure

—Ugh, I don't know, Cal. I mean, I'm on birth control and you know it... Unlike when we conceived Wyatt -she laughs nervously-

—I don't think baby two is on the way either -I laugh a little- but I think we should discuss that, don't you think?

—About having another kid? -I nod- yeah, but we could have that talk as soon as Wyatt turns 1, on the meanwhile, we can't -she firmly says and I pout, she threatens me with her index finger- there's no way in hell we're having another kid until Wyatt turns 1 year old. Are we clear? -I nod while I pout-

We spent the rest of the morning shopping for the house, we waited to pay, I carried the bags to the car while Madeleine was holding Wyatt, she puts him on his car seat and then sits on the passenger seat, as soon as I sit on the drivers seat and turn the A/C on, I ask her

—Have your mom wrote? -she nods-

—We've been talking, a little, but yeah. She reminded me about us having dinner at her home and she told me to tell you hi... I also sent her a picture of Wyatt because she wanted to see him and yeah, that's pretty much it

—I was thinking that we could go visit my mom today, are you into that? -I ask her-

—Sure, but we have to head home first, if not, my salmon will end up rotten -she laughs-

—Let's do this: let's go the our building, I take the things to the flat while you guys wait for me here, as soon as I come back, we can go grab lunch and then head to my mom's house

—I like the idea -she smiles and I start driving-

After doing what we were supposed to do, we were heading to my mom's house, Wyatt was sleeping while Madeleine and I were listening to some Imagine Dragons songs. Mad has a beautiful voice too but she's too shy to show it, I offered her a lot of opportunities but she declined them. The only ones that have heard Mad sing are Ashton and I, when Ashton heard her was because he went to our flat by surprise, Madeleine was wearing earphones and she didn't realized that Ashton was there, as soon as she did she stopped, she also turned into a tomato when Ashton said she has a beautiful voice. Since then, we've been trying to get her to sing in front of Michael and Luke but it's useless

—Your mom will be so happy as soon as she sees Wyatt -Mad gifts me a smile-

—Our visit will take her by surprise, I'm sure -I cockily say-

—But she'll love it, we haven't been there in a while and she's been to our home a couple of times only. Do you think your dad will be there too?

—I have no idea, it's more likely that he's not, you know how he's always out running errands -I laugh-
