Surprises

Sick Princess

It was the middle of tour and Scott and Mitch's personal hell came to be. Their daughter is sick, and they're across the country.

"My precious baby, come here." Scott picked up Harmony, as she sneezed and whined. "Mommy's on the phone with the doctor, you'll be okay, baby."

Mitch was not okay at all. He dreaded this moment and it made him tear up each time his daughter cried, coughed, or sneezed. It was nothing too major, it seemed like the common cold, but he's dealing with a six month old baby.

"My pretty princess, come to Mommy." Mitch hung up the phone and Scott handed her off, her small whines getting to him. Scott felt terrible as well, his child sick and his lover constantly in tears.

"Come here, babe." Scott held Mitch as Mitch was trying to rock Harmony to sleep.

"I don't want you to get sick." Mitch said, his tears falling and breaking Scott's heart.

"Baby girl look at you. You're stressing out and I know when your anxiety gets to you." Scott said to Mitch, Mitch knowing he was right. "she's going to get better, baby."

"I know but I feel like it's my fault and we shouldn't have took her-"

"Babe. Everyone gets sick. We have a career where we have to travel. We need to be in contact with people. It was bound to happen and luckily she's a pretty old baby. It's not your fault. She will be okay, and you need to worry about your self. She doesn't have to be on stage and preform for thousands of people. You do. She just needs to sleep a lot and we have a humidifier. She will be alright. She just barely has a fever."

"I know." Mitch pouted and more tears flowed and Scott chuckled and hugged him.

"You're adorable."

"Shut up. She's sleeping."

"Will you let her go?"

"I don't want to." Mitch pouted again and Scott tried to pry Harmony out of Mitch's hands and placed her on her blanket, which was on top of a hotel bed. "No." Mitch whined and Scott kissed his cheek.

"Sweetheart go take a shower, I got this."

"No." Mitch stomped his foot lightly and Scott watched him. "Stop giving me your strict daddy eye." Mitch said in a baby-ish tone and Scott hovered over him, taunting him.

"Shower. Go. I'm her dad too. I know how to take care of both of my baby girls." Scott said sternly and smacked Mitch's butt hard enough for it to sting.

"Ow, fine." Mitch pouted and Scott smirked. He sat on the bed next to his sleeping daughter, making sure she was okay.

"Mommy is such a handful, sometimes." Scott said and turned on the TV.

Mitch was stressed out because it was show time, and he had to hand over Harmony to Esther. "Be careful and cleanly."

"I know, Mitch. On stage!" She rushed him and the show began.

By the time it was time for Scott and Mitch to distract the audience during the half time break, Scott went on stage alone.

"Hey guys! I know it's scömíche half time usually but sadly, Harmony has a cold." The crowd got sad and Scott pouted and nodded his head. "I know I know. She will not join the stage for a few days and I honestly don't know if Mitch is coming out either, I know not at this very moment he isn't because it stresses him out that our first born has a cold and we are with you guys in Maryland. We love you! Love you a ton! But he's a mom so."

"Wow, so much to say about me." Mitch smiled, suddenly walking on Stage, even shocking Scott. They shared a quick kiss, which the crowd went ballistic about before continuing, "I am calming down. A tad bit. We have a show to put on so imma try worrying about her less." He pouted and Scott held onto him by his waist.

"Awe, baby. It's alright. Well you guys, maybe we can get a slide show going of her." They did actually have one prepared, showing pictures and video clips of the couple playing and taking care of her. "She's six months old by the way, she is growing up very fast!"

"She has some teeth and is still teething. She can kinda stand up. She babbles a lot. She screams at me constantly. She hates kisses, I don't know why. She loves hearing people sing. Very friendly baby. But she is also kind of clingy when she wants to be." Mitch added on to Scott.

"Guys the connection her and Mitch have is nuts. Like of course Mitch birthed her but it's kind of crazy. If she's fussy and upset with me for no reason, she will go straight to Mitch and be calm in his arms. It's adorable."

"Yes, we love our cuddle sessions. But she listens and plays with Scott more, usually. She also talks to Scott more. Her first word will most definitely be 'daddy' I'm calling it."

"Well we can both be daddy."

"You've been daddy since the beginning of time, no."

"Even before she was created." Scott said and smirk, Mitch hitting him.

"Technically you just exposed yourself so..." Mitch said and the crowd went wild as Scott's eyes suddenly went wide. They both laughed and continued to distract the crowd.

It was after the show and Mitch had Harmony in his hands. Her temperature dropped and by now she just had the sniffles.

"Yes, my baby girl is getting better." Mitch said, happy tears rolling down his face. Scott was secretly recording him, and put it on his Instagram story.

"Our baby is a strong little thing. It's my turn, give me my little nugget." Scott held her and kissed her cheeks, the usual fussy whines escaping her. "I know princess, I love you too."

"She said stop calling her a damn nugget." Mitch said, Scott dismissing him. "she probably needs food. Whose turn is it?"

"Uh..."

"Mommy's tired, it's your turn."

"Babe!" Scott whined as Mitch smirked and went to go lie down. Harmony laughed and Scott pouted at her. "you're a meanie. Mean baby."
