Chapter 7: Playdate to Staydate

Jesy's POV

Today, Claude and I have scheduled a little play date for the girls since Jade got back. I could tell Perrie was ecstatic about it from how she was babbling away at breakfast. Leigh and Jade on the other hand seemed to be very apprehensive about it for some reason. "Girls come on. There is nothing wrong with a play date, you need some friends.", Claude says. They look at each other before walking away, leaving Claude frustrated. "Don't worry champ, we'll get 'em.", I joke rubbing his shoulders. "Why are they do antisocial? We're just trying to get them some friends.", he groans flopping down on the couch.

"Why don't I talk to them? Go get Perrie her bath.", I say patting his back. He sighs and walks up the stairs to get Perrie ready. "Alright, what's the problem?", I question sitting down in their play room. "Nothings wrong. We just don't like people.", Jade answers. "The fact that you responded verbally let's me know that there is something wrong.", I say. "We're not good with social interactions. That's all there is to it.", Leigh answers sitting on a bean bag. "Well could you try?", I ask. "We don't even have to be there. This is Perrie's play date, we'll just hang out in here.", she says turning the game on. "Why are you two being so difficult? You're supposed to interact with people, have fun.", I say. "We can have fun with each other.", Jade says grabbing the other controller.

"Well I guess you don't want any play date cookies then.", I say trying to bribe them. "I was more in the mood for chicken than dessert.", Jade says making me groan. "Fine, be difficult. I don't care anymore.", I say throwing my hands up. "No luck?", Claude questions slipping on Perrie's slide on shoes. "They're being insanely stubborn.", I say folding my arms. "Well we have one happy baby today.", he says tickling Perrie's stomach. She giggles around her pacifier before looking around the room in fascination. A knock on the door makes her bounce in excitement as I go to open it. "Hey Jes, good to see you again.", Calum says giving me a quick hug. "It feels like we haven't talked in forever. Hey Mikey.", I say ruffling his hair.

"Wesy.", he calls out excitedly, hugging me. "Mikey!", Perrie squeals. " 'errie!", he says with the same energy as her. They run to hug each other before they end up falling off the couch and into a cuddle war on the floor. "Where are Leigh and Jade?", Calum questions. "They're being boring and are in their play room.", I answer. "Luke was the same, but we managed to drag him out the house.", he says pulling him into my line of vision. "Hey Luke. You can join Jade and Leigh in their antisocial funk.", I say opening the door. "You piece of trash!", Jade yells throwing the controller on the matted floor."You suck.", Leigh laughs. "Oh hey Luke.", they say turning to him. His eyes widen from them saying it so robotically in sync but he sits down in the bean bag next to them as Jade hands him a controller.

We leave them to do their own thing before walking back to the main room where Perrie and Mikey have reverted to the couch and are watching a movie Claude put on. There's a big bowl of snacks in the middle of them and drinks on the table. "They're so sweet. I can't believe that they became the best of friends in a fifteen minute interaction.", Calum says sitting down. We watch them talk lowly between mouthfuls of snacks as their movie plays on. "You guys wanna watch Stuart little?", I ask getting the disc. Perrie claps her hands as Mikey nods at a neck breaking speed. "More pease.", Perrie says holding up the empty bowl for popcorn. I walk into the kitchen to pop them some more but as I'm walking, I notice how the game room has gone quiet aside from a few thuds.

I peak my head in to find them all rolling around in a big pile. "Give it to me.", Leigh says reaching for something. "No me.", Luke comments. "I'm not giving it to either of you.", Jade says shaking them off. I step out and make my way back to the sofa. "What are they doing in there? Sounds quiet.", Claude says. "They're chasing Jade for something.", I answer putting the snacks between two littles again. "You think they're close to slipping?", Calum asks. "I don't really know. It looks like they're having fun though.", I say. "We'll keep an eye on them then.", he says. We go back to watching the movie before a phone sounds through the room. "Give me a sec.", Calum says getting up.

He walks into the kitchen with his phone up to his ear leaving us on the couch. "Where Cal go?", Mikey questions looking around. "He went to take a phone call. He'll be back in a minute.", Claude answers. "Guys, we have to go. Ash got into an accident and he's in the hospital. Maybe we can reschedule sometime.", Calum says taking Mikey's shoes. "No I stay wif 'errie.", Mikey protests hugging Perrie. Perrie hugs him back not knowing or caring about what's going on. "You can leave him here if you're ok with it. I'll go get Luke for you.", I say. I walk into the play room and see the three napping on the big bunk on top. "They've fallen asleep. Do you want me to wake him?", I ask.

"Can they both stay? I'd rather not have them around the hospital and I don't want to wake Luke and- "Calm down Cal. We completely understand, go check on Ash, they can stay the night.", Claude says rubbing his back as he cuts off his rambling. "I'll go get their bags from the car. Thanks so much guys.", Calum sighs walking out. "Ok this one is Luke's, and the this one is Mikey's.", he says sitting them on the couch. We bid him goodbye after her tells us their normal schedule and looking over to the pair on the couch. Perrie can barely keep her eyes open and Mikey's head keeps dropping ever now and then. "I think it's bed time.", I say making them both look over to me.

"But if you behave, you can watch some more tv.", I say. They look at each other before smiling and nodding at me. "How bout we have a sleepover in the living room?", Claude suggests. He grabs some blankets and sprawls them out on the floor before grabbing pillows and some more snacks. "Claim your side now.", I say walking into the kitchen. When I come back from the kitchen, they're both on the ground snuggled up in blankets. "eter?", Mikey questions looking up at me. "Peter? Is he in you bag buddy?", I ask handing it to him. He digs through it before pulling out a little wolf stuffy. "That's adorable. Perrie has a stuffed penguin named Noah.", I smile handing it to her.

She nuzzles against it before giving a sleepy hum and reaching for the bottle on the coffee table. "Let me go fill it up for you. Would you like some warm milk as well Mikey?", I ask grabbing it. He nods and hands me a sippy cup from his bag. We tried them with Pez and it ended up with milk everywhere and a sobbing Perrie, so we just continued with bottles. I walk into the kitchen and pour milk in both cups before heating them up individually and walking back to the front and hand them to each person. Perrie quickly latches on as Claude holds it for her and clips her pacifier to her penguin's fin. Mikey settles himself more into the blanket and turns to the tv which is playing a cartoon I can't remember the name of.

Seeing how they seem content, I leave them with Claude to check on the other three since I wasn't sure if they were still asleep. But Jade beats me to it by opening the door and rubbing at her tired eyes. "Jesy. Where's Ruben?", she questions looking around. All the girls have their comfort toys but Jade has had a special attachment to hers. Since we had gotten her a medium sized tiger she never lets it leave her sight for too long. While Perrie got her comfort from being cuddled and babied, Jade would just need a little quiet time and her tiger. Leigh is weird with her comfort methods, sometimes she needs to be held and rocked, and others she needs peace and quiet in their nook room.

"Ruben is up in my room. Where you left it last night.", I answer. "Oh and while you're up there, grab Leigh's monkey. You know it's hard for her to sleep without it.", I add. Jade hums and continues up the stairs before I sit back on the couch. "Five in one night. We're just that good.", Claude whispers raising his hand. I smack his palm lightly to not disturb the two beneath us. Jade comes back down with the two stuffed animals before making a silent disappearance into the back. "Let's head up to bed before it becomes too good to be true.", I says getting up. He sits Perrie on the floor with a pillow under her head before walking around and up the stairs. We ended with a quiet night and ice cream.
