1 week later...
I walked into the flat behind Alex craddling Melodie in my arms.
"Jess! You're here!" Toni exclaimed bouncing over to me.
"Shhh, she's asleep," I whispered.
"Oh, sorry Melodie," she whispered.
I smiled at her.
"Everyones in the living room," Toni whispered.
Toni then bounced to the living room.
"Guys the baby's asleep so keep the noise down," Toni whispered.
I walked into the living room and Zack, Rian, Jack, Josh and Alex's mom were in there.
"Hi again, the others couldn't come," Josh whispered.
I smiled.
I sat down next to Jack and Alex sat next to me.
"Jess, I've got something that I think might be useful," Alex's mom said.
She the waved her hand in the direction of a cot with a mobile with stars hanging off it.
"It's Alex's cot," she said.
"Mom! You're embarassing me in front of my girlfriend again!" Alex hissed.
I giggled.
"Thanks Isobel," I said.
"Oh Alex, I bet you were so cute when you were a baby," I said stroking his cheek.
Alex went red with embarassment.
"Actually, I think I have pictures in my bag," Isobel said.
"Mom!" Alex exclaimed burying his head in my shoulder.
I laughed.
"I think Alex has had enough embarassing moments today," I said.
Melodie then woke up and started playing with my hair.
"Aww, that is so cute," Toni said.
"Oh I almost forgot, I bought her a toy to remind her of her amazing uncle," Jack said. He then held out a monkey toy.
I giggled.
"Can I hold her?" Rian asked.
I nodded and passed her to him.
"Please don't chuck up on me," Rian mumbled.
A minute passed and Rian was feeling more comfortable and started hugging Melodie to his chest.
Suddenly there was a fart sound.
"Who was that?" Josh asked.
Rian's face turned horrified.
"Why does this always happen to me?" Rian moaned.
"Give her to me she needs changing," I said taking Melodie off him.
"Do you know how to change a nappy?" Zack asked.
"I used to do a lot of babysitting," I said carrying her out of the room.
A few months back I moved into Alex's room so the baby could have her own room.
I laid a mat on the floor and lay Melodie on it.
I then went through her bag of supplies and got the nappy and wipes out.
20 seconds later...
I smiled as soon as I finished changing her.
I craddled her in my arms and kissed her forehead.
Alex then walked in the room.
"God that was quick," he said.
I smiled.
Alex then held his arms out for Melodie.
I placed her carefully in his arms.
"She is so beautiful, like you Jess," he said.
He quickly kissed my lips.
I smiled.
Alex then kissed Melodie's tiny nose.
She then gave a tiny giggle.
"Aww, that is so cute, you made her laugh Alex," I said.
Zack then came in.
"Sorry to break the moment, Uncle Jack wants to play peekaboo with Melodie," he said.
I smiled.
I carried her into the living room and Jack was on the floor lying on his stomach.
I then kneeled on the floor and put Melodie on my lap.
"Melodie, Peekaboo!" Jack said.
Melodie laughed.
This might go on for a while.
