Chapter 2: Babysitter

A few weeks later I was on my way to Tom and Gio´s place. Gio had asked me to babysit while she and Tom were out. Gio took a long time saying goodbye to Isabella and Tom – who was getting slightly impatient – kept telling her that she would see Isabella again a few hours later. As they drove off I heard a soft whimper coming from Isabella in my arms. "Don´t cry sweetheart," I told her as I walked inside the house. I sat down in the rocking chair in the corner of the little pink nursery that Tom and Gio had arranged. I slowly and carefully rocked the little girl until she started closing her small eyelids and her tiny lips formed an "O". She soon after started to make small cute noises that I found really adorable.

Gio´s POV:

As we walked through the doors to our house, Tom and I both went directly to the nursery. Maria was asleep in the rocking chair and she was holding Bella. Tom walked over to them and carefully got our sleeping, 2 months old daughter. He put her down in the crib as I walked over to Maria. "Maria. Wake up," I whispered, shaking her shoulder slightly. As she opened her eyes she looked confused for just a few seconds but then realized what was going on.

"Are you sure you don´t want to sleep over?" I asked the very sleepy looking Maria as she walked across the dark driveway to her car. "I´m fine, Dougie´s house is not far away," she told me with a smile. "I´ll call you when I get there, goodnight," she continued as she got into her car.

Maria´s POV:

As I drove up into the driveway in front of Dougie´s house I saw that the lights in the garage were still on. Dougie usually used the garage as a practice room when the McFLY boys came over. I heard Dougie laugh as I got out of the car and got curious. As I opened the door slightly I saw Dougie and Danny on the floor. There were papers scattered all over the floor and both of them held a bottle of beer in their hands. This was just like it used to be before all the trouble started. Dougie inviting Danny, Harry or Tom or sometimes all three of them over for beer so they could practice. I sighed as I closed the door again. I walked up to the front door and locked myself in. I went directly to bed then and with the flashback from last year on the back of my mind all I wanted to do was cry.

Dougie´s POV:

Maria had just driven off to Gio and Tom´s place to babysit and I was sitting on the couch waiting for Danny. He and I had been planning on practicing tonight. I heard his car in the driveway then and went outside to greet him. After Tom had told us that we should go on tour we´d thought why not practice a little. But since Tom was going out with Gio tonight and Harry was ill, it was only Danny and I tonight. "Okay, so there´s this new song that I wrote, and I would like for you to hear it," he told me as we walked into the garage where I had my practice room. He grabbed a guitar that was hanging on the wall and started playing.
I hadn´t noticed the time as I heard a car pull up and then two minutes later or so, the front door slam. Danny must´ve noticed it too because he looked at his clock and excused himself with the words that he had to go home and sleep. I walked outside with Danny, turning off the lights behind me, and noticed that Maria´s car was back.
As I walked into our bedroom I noticed the few sobs that escaped Maria´s lips. "What´s wrong?" I asked getting worried. I walked around to her side of the bed and kneeled down on the floor. As I looked at her tear stained face and her blood red eyes, she escaped my gaze. She closed her eyes then and her breathing soon after slowed. I got into bed too and closed my eyes, I wasn´t able to fall asleep in a long time.
