Calum's p.o.v

It was around 5AM when a stupid dream woke me up, only that this time, the papers inverted. I was on tour with the guys and I remember we were playing live when I turned to the right and saw Madeleine holding Wyatt on a side of the stage, she smiled at me proudly which gave me a shot of confidence and happiness, the concert is over and we were now on some European hotel, I was a little drunk and a girl was dragging me by my hand, I couldn't see who it was, I took out a key and we got into a room, we started making out and we finished having sex on the floor of the room, right after coming, I turned to see her face so I could kiss her forehead but I felt sick when I realized it wasn't Madeleine but a blonde girl with blue eyes, one I've never seen before, the tears were flooding my eyes and I immediately stood up, leaving her there, my eyes wander desperately through the room looking for my clothes to get dressed and right on that moment, Madeleines walks into the room with flowers, those flowers were for me as congratulations for the concert, as soon as she realizes what went down on that room, the flowers fell from her hand and her smile faded away, both of her hands cover her mouth, she was in shock, my eyes were flooded in tears and I couldn't stop crying, I felt desperate and I was trying to explain what happened but I couldn't, I didn't had a voice and when I'm about to get close to her, I wake up exasperated. I turn around to see Madeleine sleeping, then I turn to see the cradle and my son was asleep too. I sit on the bad and cover my face with my hands thankful for the fact that it was just a dream, or well, more like a nightmare. The nostalgia that the dream gave me made me realize how much I was grateful for having Wyatt and Mad in my life, besides from my parents and my sister, Wyatt and Mad were my whole life.

I let out a sigh trying to control my breathing and I lay down again, putting my arms around Mad, pulling her closer to me so I could feel her body heat, she looked so beautiful when she was asleep, she was like a peaceful angel and I'm sure she's unaware of it. I kiss her forehead and lean back, closing my eyes hoping to fall asleep again quickly

—Babe, wake up -I feel as I'm being shaken/ Calum Thomas Hood -Madeleine shouts-

—Hm? -my eyes were still closed-

—It's late, bub. You have to wake up -I let out a sigh, I didn't wanted to wake up yet, I was tired, but knowing Mad, she won't stop until I actually wake up-

—What time is it? -I sit on the bed and rub my eyes-

—It's 11AM. My mom wrote me again, she invited us for lunch at her house, they wanted to talk to me. Maddy went out early Mrc around 9AM, she's using Google Maps as guide -she laughs and I only look at her, I don't have enough energy to laugh, or react-

Lunch time is around 12PM and it's already 11Am which means I have to hurry... Oh god, I'm so lazy right now

—Are you coming with me to my parents house? -she asks while she's ordering Wyatt's diaper bag-

—Yes -I say getting up from the bed, making it-

—Okay baby, then I need you to hurry up for me -she smiles and pecks me on the lips-

I was frustrated because I couldn't sleep longer, I do what I usually do at morning, you know, the routine. When I go back to our room, my outfit was on the bed, it seems like Madeleine is playing dress up with me today, I smile over the fact that I didn't had to waste time trying to pick something to wear, I dress up and go to the living room, where she's waiting for me, she unlocks her phone to look at the hour

—11:34AM, we're good on time -she smiles- are you driving or should I drive?

—You drive, I woke up lazy -I say and she answers with a "okay", she then hands me Wyatt- good morning, champ. -I smile at him and he gets excited-
