Eternally Yours ~ Ryan Sitkowski MIW

Synthetic Love

Ryan and Charlie, needless to say, had countless photos of Tegan on their phones. Everytime a new one was taken, it was sent between the two.

Whenever Chris or Kylie or any of the guys or girls took a picture with Tegan, it was sent to a groupchat that they were all in together. The kid might as well have had her own personal paparazzi.

Charlie printed out the best photos she had of Tegan with her aunts and uncles and herself and Ryan and put them all into frames, and hung them around Tegan's bedroom.

The frames held pictures of Tegan with Chris, Ricky, Ryan, Charlie, Vinny, Angelo, Balz, Kuza, Ghost, Kylie, Gaia, Jesse, Harley, Jaime, Jake and Noah, Aspen and Jayden.

There was one big group photo of them all and the members of Ghost in costume with Lord Henry outside of Slane Castle in Ireland, and it was sat on a shelf beside Tegan's cot.

Charlie's P.O.V

It's hard to believe that it's almost 2016. Tegan's going to be three years old next year, and in a way.. it hurts.

I didn't know motherhood would fly by this quickly. But, I'm grateful that she's only going to be two tomorrow and not eighteen or twenty or something.

I know she misses Jaime. We all do. Whenever she sees a photo of Jaime, she either smiles and laughs at her, or cries and screams her name. It breaks my heart, but I just tell her that Jaime is on a long holiday and will be back soon.

I don't know what made me take up that concept, but it works for now. I'm obviously going to tell her that that's not the case as she gets older.

Ryan isn't one of those dads who makes a girl feel like a single mom when he's away. He calls as much as he can, makes sure we're both okay, and talks to Tegan and listens to her babble over the phone to him. It's adorable.

Tegan ran into the room with Ryan, laughing as he crawled around the room, messing around with her whilst I was on a video call with Tobias. We decided to keep in touch even after playing Slane together.

Tobias was like my older brother. He's a good few years older than me, but he treats me like his sister.

Damn, I'm like everyones sister at this point, aren't I? Well, except from Ryan.. that would be overly weird and just fucking wrong.

I didn't even notice Tegan running in until I heard her footsteps against the kitchen floor tiles. She laughed as Ryan crawled around the floor after her.

"Wh- are you two okay?" I asked and Tegan started laughing. "Mama!! Help!" Tegan laughed. I laughed. "What's up?" I asked. "Dada monster!" She giggled.

"Daddy's a monster?" I asked and she laughed, and kept running. Ryan was laughing as he crawled around the floor after our baby girl. It was way too fucking cute.

Tobias was laughing on the video. "I assume Ryan is playing with Tegan?" He asked and I nodded. "Tegan, baby, come say hi to Tobias!" I called her and she ran over and raised her hands in the air.

I picked her up and sat her on my knee, and pointed to the laptop screen. She waved her tiny hand and Tobias waved back at her. "Hi Tegan!" He giggled. "Dada monster!" Tegan told him. Tobias gasped and put his hands on his cheeks in fake shock.
