Admittedly this one is a little different, but I hope you like it!

Ashton: "Shh," I cooed, bouncing the crying baby gently in an attempt to get her to go to sleep, "It’s bedtime, Jessie." This was the third night in a row that I’d struggled to get her to sleep. Sighing quietly to myself, I grabbed my phone from the bedside table and found Ashton’s number. As it rang, I tried to calm myself down but it just wasn’t happening. "(Y/N)?" Ashton finally said down the phone, "Babe, it’s like three am over there. What’s going on?" I let out a small sniffle, "She won’t go to sleep, Ash. I-I don’t know what to do." He shushed me, "Listen to me, put the phone on speaker and lie down with her." Sniffling to yourself, I lay down on the bed with Jessica before putting the phone on speaker, laying it down a little bit away from the two of us. "Okay," I said quietly. "Jessie," Ashton said and instantly, the baby’s cries began to soften and I sighed in relief, relaxing into the pillow. "Hey baby," he continued, "What’s with all this noise?" Jessica’s curious eyes were looking all over the place, trying to find her dad but then she looked to the phone, reaching out for it. "Close your eyes, (Y/N). I’ll stay on the phone until I’m sure you’re both asleep." And although it took almost an hour, he did. 

Calum: "Thanks for coming over to help me look after them," I smiled, handing my mum a mug of coffee before taking a seat beside her, "They can be quite a handful." She smiled softly before looking at the twins, who I had placed in front of the T.V, waiting for the 5 Seconds of Summer interview to come on, "You know I love spending time with you all." Smiling again, I noticed Calum and the other boys appear on the screens. "Look," I cooed, getting down onto the floor between the twins as I pointed to the screen, "Who’s that?" The two of them gazed at the screen with wide eyes, Noah letting out a high pitched giggle as he recognised his daddy. "Look Andrew." my mum said, also getting onto the carpet beside us before listening to the interview just as there was a question for your husband. "So Calum," the interviewer began, "You’ve left your wife back home with the twins, how do you think she’s getting on?" Calum smiled to himself, "She’s a great mum to the boys but if she’s struggling, she knows that she can call anyone in either of our families. I spoke to her just last night when the boy’s were sleeping and she assured me that they were all getting on fine." Smiling, you picked up your phone and sent him a quick text: Watching the interview now. Andrew and Noah are happy to see their daddy’s face. Skype us soon? xx

Luke: Walking into the supermarket, I made faces at Darren as I pushed him toward the aisle with the milk. Being the forgetful person I am, I forgot to pick up milk and bread when I came in yesterday. While I was getting the milk, Darren was messing around with his stuffed tiger and I froze slightly when I heard some hushed whispers coming from the end of the aisle. Looking up, I spotted a two girls staring at me. “Hi,” one exclaimed brightly, “W-we were just wanting to say hi.” Giggling, I waved them over, “Well come say hi then!” The two of them came rushing over, one of them letting out a little squeal at the sight of the pram behind me, “Oh, have you got Darren with you?” I nodded and turned it so they could see him. “Oh he’s just gorgeous! And look at those eyes.” she then looked back up at me, “How are you getting on without Luke?” Smiling at them again, I finally picked up the milk, “It get’s lonely sometimes but when I think I’m getting bored this little one will give me something to do.” They smiled brightly at me, “We’ll let you get on with your shopping, we just wanted to say hi.” 

Michael: "You’re missing your daddy, aren’t you?" I whispered, playing with Amy’s little hands. It was clear that she was a complete daddy’s girl. She whined quietly and I bit down on my lip, "Shall we give him a little call?" I grabbed my phone and quickly called Michael, putting in on speakerphone while letting Amy grab the phone. "Hello?" he said tiredly down the phone. "Oh…Mikey, I’m so sorry. I didn’t realise that it was so late." I breathed. He laughed quietly and Amy let out a loud squeal, "Don’t worry about it, (Y/N). What’s up?" I ran my fingers through Amy’s hair, "I think she’s missing you. She’s started pulling herself up by the window, waiting for you to come home." I heard him sigh quietly, "I miss the two of you too, but this is going to be over soon. It’s just two weeks." I nodded to myself, "I know. But it’s just really quiet without you." In the background, I heard Ashton telling Michael to shut up and go sleep, making me frown. "I’ll let you sleep, babe. Call me tomorrow or something?" After promising that he would, we both hung up and I sighed, pulling Amy closer, "Just one more week."
