Calum: You hold your pillow over your head, trying to block out your one year old son's cries "Cal, I can't do this" you groan, standing up

He grabs your hand, stopping you in your tracks "one more minute babe, just give him one more minute" he pleads, you sigh and sit down heavily, but Kayden's cries don't die out

So you stand up and hurry to his nursery, lifting him out of his crib, he snuffles and clings to you frantically "my poor baby" you coo, carrying him back to your room "he's such a mama's boy" Calum chuckles

"Like you" you smirk, he cocks an eyebrow and a devilish grin dances over his face "if Kade wasn't here you'd so pay for that" he says teasingly.

Luke: "(Y/N) this isn't working, please can I go get her?" Luke begs, you sigh and nod, Luke leaps up and comes back moments later, your five month old daughter Eliza in his arms

He rocks her back and forth gently, stroking her soft blonde hair "that was the worst ten minutes of my life" he mumbles, watching his daughter slowly doze off.

Ashton: "Babe listen to him, he's been crying for ages now, I think he would have stopped by now if he wanted too" Ashton says pleadingly, looking pained by the sound of his three month old son's crying

"Okay you can get him now" you sigh, soon enough, Ashton comes back into the bedroom, holding a sniffling Grayson against his chest "he was hysterical, he must be exhausted" he whispers, settling back into bed gingerly.

Michael: "Just a little longer baby" Michael protests, but you're not listening, you've already lifted your screaming two year old out of her crib "Come on Heidi" you soothe, rubbing her back

She hiccups, taking large gulps of air "god why is parenting so hard?" Michael groans, taking Heidi from your arms and rubbing her back softlly "shhh baby, daddy's got you" he cooes.
