Hi. I'm sorry I'm late on the story, school's been a mess so far. But anyway, here's Chapter 8!

April's POV

Mother's Signature: Signed.

Father's Signature: Blank.

"So how come you haven't got his signature yet?" Belle asked.

"In case you have not noticed, he has been in the hospital for 2 weeks," I replied. She eyed me. "Plus I may or may not have brought it up."

Belle groaned.

"It's been two weeks and you have not said a word. Unbelievable." She sighed.

I rolled my eyes. "Well, what do you want me to say? 'Hey, I just wanted to ask you who's gonna take care of our daughter when we die.'"

"Not that," Belle replied with a smirk. "I'm just saying you need to say something. Besides, have you even decided?"

I was about to respond, when I heard crying noises over the baby monitor. "That's her." I quickly went to go get her. When I came back, she was calmed down.

"But seriously," I started. "I was thinking about if you'd want to be the godmother."

"I wouod love to but," Belle said. Riley cooed, sticking a finger in her mouth. "I don't think he'd like that."

"No, Raph will be fine. I mean, it doesn't matter. he gets to choose the Godfather, right?" I questioned. Belle nodded slowly.

"You don't really have to run it by him. I mean he's not here now. Some people would be better parents than others. Besides I think it would be Leo." She stated.

"First, He's not a bad Father, he's just had a rough time lately. Second, I do Actually have to tell him and Third, Why?"

"Just cause..."

Ri squirmed and whimpered a little. I sniffed. My shirt dampened a bit. "Do you mind.." I asked. Belle shook her head.

I grabbed a towel and covered up. I began feeding my child.

"When was the last time you went out?"

Silence. Wow, it's been a while. "I literally can't remember." I commented. Belle stood up. "We're going out tonight." She announced.

"I mean, I can't drink alcohol cause I'm still nursing so What's the point?"

She looked at the baby, then at me. "It's been 2 months. you've been cooped up in here ever since she was born." Belle stated.

I started to protest.

"You don't even have to drink." She added. I looked down. Riley was still drinking.

"Fine, go get dressed."

Belle smiled and hopped upstairs. I tried to move, but only heard a small whine. "You like this, baby girl?" I asked. She cooed. "I promise to let you have more, but mommy's gotta go."

As soon as I pulled my shirt, Riley started fussing. I moved to calm her down, walking to the nursery. "It's ok, sweetheart. momma's just gonna have a little fun."

She calmed, staring at me quietly while sucking a finger.

"My baby girl."

I heard Belle stomp downstairs. "Girl, go get dressed. I called a babysitter!" She called.

I walked out to go upstairs. "Fine, let me see what's gonna fit me," I started then turned to her. "Hope you found a good one, Ri only loves her Parents."

"Sure, I did."

20 minutes later, I walked downstairs feeling... New.

"This is amazing. I haven't felt this glamorous in 11 months!" I marveled.

"See, this is how your supposed to feel. You need to get out more." Belle quoted. I smiled innocently. We waited 12 minutes for the babysitter and Dipped out when she came.

Later on...

"Havin' a good time?"

"What?"

The music was so loud I couldn't hear my own voice. After arguing for 25 minutes straight, we decided to go to a club.

Or Belle did.

"Are you Having fun?" She screamed over the music. "Yeah!" I yelled. I danced for a little while but then I looked at Belle. She was staring at me with her eyes big as saucers. "B?" I asked.

She pulled me to the side. "What's up?"

"You got a little something on your.. Dress." Belle commented. I looked down at my dress and saw it. I forgot to change.

"Oh. I'll be right back." I ran quickly to the bathroom, but first... On my way, I grabbed a small shot glass.

Meanwhile...

"Will you shut that baby up?" A.J asked less-than kindly. Her friend flashed her a strained smile.

"I'm trying," He replied. "have you found something?"

"Well, she's not hungry, dirty, tired or bored," A.J huffed. "So, what could it be?" Suddenly, a vase sitting on a bookshelf crashed onto the floor.

Riley giggled. A.J turned to her friend.

"It's her."
