Here's the next chapter!
This one's pretty cute, I hope you guys will like it :)
---7:10 AM, Saturday July 10---
In the washroom with Julie, Eleanor and Jeanette...
"Are you done girls?" Asked Julie as she looked through her bag. She and Claire had been very busy the past days. They've been working on some things for the baby.
"Yeah, we're done." Jeanette said. She and Eleanor just gave the baby a small bath, by placing her in a small soap dish, and gently scrubbing her with a damp towel.
"Okay. Now, here. Put this on her." Julie said when she found what she was looking for. She gave Eleanor a super tiny pink nightdress.
"What is this?" Asked Eleanor.
Julie smiled. "Well, a couple of days ago, Claire and I had the idea of making clothes for the baby. You know, since stores around here don't have anything this small for babies."
Eleanor smiled and held it up. "It's so cute! You guys made it?"
Julie nodded. "Yeah, it wasn't that hard. It was fun making clothes for her. We have way more. Claire has the rest of the clothes with her. I hope they'll fit her though." Said Julie.
Jeanette held her newly born niece, who had just fallen asleep. "Here, try putting it on her." She said to Eleanor.
Eleanor slowly slipped the pink dress over the baby's head and put her arms through it. Luckily it was a perfect fit. "Oh, it's perfect on her!" Eleanor said quietly.
Julie clapped her hands. "She looks so adorable in it!"
The baby did look adorable in it. She was asleep in Jeanette's arms, with a light pink dress on her. And she was a so tiny, which made her even more cuter. Jeanette cradled her back and forth.
"Should we take her to Brittany now?" Asked Jeanette.
"That's a good idea." Julie said. She carried them back into the room in her hands, and back to the bed where Claire and Brittany were.
Claire smiled when she saw the baby and the dress. She looked at Julie. "Aww! Isn't that one of the dresses we made her?"
Julie nodded. "Yup, and it's a perfect fit."
Jeanette and Eleanor walked off of Julie's palms and slowly made their way to their sister, who didn't look very tired anymore. She looked anxious and nervous at the same time.
Brittany blinked once when she saw her sisters walking over to her. She stared in amazement when she saw the small bundle of fur in Jeanette's arms. It only took her a second to realize that the bundle of fur was her daughter.
Jeanette sat on the right side of Brittany, while Eleanor sat on the left. Brittany's eyes never left the baby. The baby peacefully slept in Jeanette's arms. Brittany sighed to herself in amazement. It was so beautiful to her, the most amazing thing she ever saw.
Jeanette looked at her pink clad sister. "Britt? Do you wanna hold her now?" She asked quietly.
"Uh..." Brittany said. She wasn't so sure. She never held a baby before, and she was scared that she would mess up or something. "I don't know."
Eleanor laughed. "Of course you are, Brittany. She's your daughter."
"Right, my daughter." Brittany said. That was the first time saying those words, and it felt so new to her, yet, so real.
Jeanette smiled as she carefully and slowly handed the baby into Brittany's arms. Brittany was shaking when she was first placed in her arms, but she slowly calmed down. She was feeling a bit nervous, holding her daughter for the first time. She felt all eyes on her, so she looked down at her daughter, and suddenly, her whole world started to spin.
Brittany had never seen anything so amazing, so beautiful and so tiny in her life. Brittany couldn't help but smile when she felt the baby stir about in her arms. It felt so new, and so delicate. "Wow, she's so beautiful." Brittany whispered, as she took her finger and stroked the baby's cheek.
"Yeah, she is." Eleanor said.
As Brittany stroked her baby's cheek, the baby's eyes fluttered open. She blinked multiple times as her eyes searched around the room. But then they stopped when her eyes were on Brittany. The baby didn't stop looking at Brittany, as if she already knew that she was her mother.
"Oh my god. She's looking at me!" Said Brittany.
"Of course she is! She knows that you're her mother." Jeanette said.
Brittany looked at her baby and smiled at her. "Hi, baby." She whispered with affection. She continued to delicately stroke the baby's cheek. "Wow, she feels so soft."
Brittany could feel the fragile heartbeat of the baby against her chest. She sighed and looked at everyone in the room. "She's amazing." She whispered.
Julie nodded. "I know, she is. She's so precious, Britt."
She looked down at her again. Her baby was staring right back at her, and what Brittany saw, shocked her. Brittany stopped stroking her cheek and gasped when she saw her baby's large brown eyes.
"Oh, wow." She whispered.
"What's wrong?" Asked Claire.
She looked at her. "Her eyes...they're the exact same color as Alvin's." She said.
She was right. The baby's eyes had the most amazing golden honey brown color, the exact same color as Alvin's eyes.
Eleanor looked into her niece's eyes and gasped. "You're right! They do look like Alvin's eyes."
"Oh, and you know what else Brittany?" Julie asked quietly.
"What?" Asked Brittany.
"Your fur, and your baby's fur! They're the exact same color." Julie said, smiling at Brittany's reaction.
Brittany's eyes widened when she realized that Julie was right. She looked at her baby. She had the exact same auburn fur as her. "Oh my god, you're right." She said in awe.
"She's absolutely perfect Brittany." Claire said.
Brittany nodded and smiled at her daughter. "She is." She sighed.
Claire suddenly gasped. "Oh my god."
"What?" Asked Julie.
Claire laughed. "We totally forgot about the boys!"
"Oh yeah!" Julie laughed. "Poor them, they're probably dying of anticipation."
Claire looked at Brittany, who was lovingly cradling the baby in her arms. "Brittany? Do you want us to go get the boys?"
Brittany looked at her and nodded. She wanted to see Alvin, so badly. She couldn't wait for him to see their baby. "Yes, please."
Claire went to go get them. She rolled her eyes when she saw Dave sitting on the floor with his laptop, while Theodore and Simon were playing a game of cards. Alvin, on the other hand, still looked like a nervous wreck. Dave looked up and saw Claire, with her hands crossed across her chest.
"You're on your laptop, Dave? During an important time like this?" Claire asked.
Dave shut his laptop off. "Whoops, sorry."
Theodore put his cards down. "Is the baby born yet?"
Alvin's ears perked up.
Claire nodded. "Yeah. You guys wanna meet her now?"
"Yeah!" Theodore exclaimed, and Simon nodded.
"Well, you guys can go in now." Claire said, and Dave, Theodore and Simon all ran inside the room, leaving Alvin, still sitting on the ground.
"Alvin? Aren't you gonna go see Brittany, and your baby?" Asked Claire.
Alvin took a deep breath. "I-I dunno. I'm feeling a bit lightheaded right now." He muttered.
Claire crouched down beside him. "Alvin, I know you're feeling pretty nervous about seeing the baby for the first time, but Brittany needs your support. She really wants you to see her." She said.
"I will, I-I just need a few minutes to sit down." Alvin said.
"Are you feeling okay?' Asked Claire.
Alvin shrugged. "I'm just trying to get used to the fact that I'm a dad." He gulped "In high school, while I'm one of the most famous rock stars in the world." He chuckled nervously.
Claire smiled at him. "I know that it's putting a lot of pressure on you, Alvin. But I'm sure you can do it. I mean, this is your daughter." She emphasized the word. "She's the greatest gift Brittany could ever give you. And right now, Brittany really wants you to be in there with her. She needs you."
Alvin nodded slowly. "I know..."
"Brittany needs all the support she can get right now. Imagine what she's going through. She just had a baby, and the least you can do is just go in there and be with your new...family." Claire said.
"Family..." Alvin sighed. A new family, his new family. It felt so different, even saying it in his head felt weird.
Claire sighed and stood up. "Okay, you can come in any time you're ready. I'll leave the door open." Said Claire, then she walked back into the room, where she saw Dave sitting on the side of the bed, and Simon and Theodore sitting beside Jeanette and Eleanor.
The baby was in Simon's arms, and Jeanette giggled at how un-experienced he was with carrying babies. "Simon, are you okay?"
"Yeah, of course I am." Simon answered.
"You don't look very comfortable." Giggled Jeanette.
Simon rolled his eyes. "Sorry for not being an expert." He mumbled. "I just don't wanna hurt her in any way."
Brittany laughed. "Don't worry, you won't hurt her."
"Oh, my turn!" Theodore said, and Simon passed the baby to him. "Whoa, she's small!" Theodore exclaimed.
Dave was sitting beside Theodore. He looked down at the baby chipmunk and sighed. "Wow, she really is small. She's really cute." said Dave, trying to sound affectionate, but apparently failed, making Claire laugh.
Brittany noticed that Alvin wasn't in the room. "Where's Alvin?" She asked.
"He's right outside. He's says that he's gonna wait a couple of minutes before coming in. I think this whole thing is pressuring him right now." Claire told her.
Brittany nodded, even though it did make her upset. "Oh, okay." She muttered.
"Here, Brittany." Theodore said, passing the baby back to her.
Brittany felt better again once she held her baby in her arms. "Thanks, Theo." She said, as she began to cradle her again.
Julie looked at the clock. "Oh my goodness, it's 7:55 in the morning already!"
"Wow, it's been a long night." Claire said.
"I know. I think I have to get going now. But I'll visit soon sometime this week. I'll get Toby to come too." Said Julie, while getting a hug from Claire.
"Thank you so much for all you've done, Julie." Claire said.
Julie smiled. "No problem. It was kinda fun delivering a baby chipmunk." She said, looking at Brittany. "Take care of her, okay?"
Brittany nodded. "I will, but wait. What about diapers and those kinds of things?" She asked.
Julie laughed. "She's a chipmunk, Britt. She doesn't need diapers. Just make sure you clean up after her, alright?"
"But what about the kinds of food she can eat?" Brittany asked again.
"Well, just wait until she develops some teeth, but in the mean time, just make sure you don't give her anything hard to eat, or anything too small, or else she can choke." Said Julie. She turned to Claire. "It's just like taking care of a human baby."
Claire nodded. "I'll make sure everything's alright."
Julie turned back to Brittany. "Any other questions Britt?"
"Um, nope." Brittany nodded.
Julie smiled. "Okay, just give me a call if you have any, okay?"
Brittany nodded. "Okay."
Julie began to gather her things, then she made her way to the door. "See you guys soon, and congratulations Brittany." She smiled at her.
Everyone waved at her. Once Julie stepped out of the bedroom, she saw Alvin sitting on the floor, with his head down. Julie crouched beside him. "Alvin, why don't you go in there?"
Alvin looked at her. It was kinda weird looking at her like that, because she was one of his teacher from school. He sighed. "I want to, but I'm kinda nervous."
Julie laughed. "There's nothing to be scared about. Brittany is fine, and so is your baby. Come on, you're the daddy, you don't wanna be the last one to see her, right? I mean, Dave and your brothers already saw her, and she's fine! Trust me Alvin, the baby is so adorable. And Brittany really wants you to be in there."
Alvin sighed out loud. "I'll go in there, I just need a couple more minutes."
"Are you sure?" Asked Julie.
Alvin nodded. "Yeah, I'm sure."
"Okay, fine." Julie said, as she stood up. "Just take care of the baby, okay?"
Alvin nodded, "Yeah, I will." He said hoarsely. He wasn't so sure about that, I mean, without Dave and Claire and the rest, he probably wouldn't be able to take care of himself!
Julie smiled and gathered up her things, and left the house, and drove back home. Alvin still sat there, think if he should go in or not. Well, he was gonna go back in sooner or later, right?
The bedroom door was open, and he could hear the voices of his family loud and clear, talking about the baby. It urged him to go inside, but there was a weird feeling that he couldn't.
Dammit, just go inside, that's your daughter in there!
"She's just so adorable." He heard Claire say.
"I know. It's so cool having a niece!" Said Theodore.
"She looks so much like you and Alvin, Britt." Jeanette said.
Alvin raised an eyebrow. "She looks like me?"
"She does Brittany. It's a perfect split between you and Alvin." Said Dave.
"Thanks guys." Brittany said quietly.
Alvin groaned. He couldn't wait anymore. He let go of the scared and nervous feeling and stood up. He took a deep breath and slowly walked into the Chipette's bedroom. Alvin cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. Everyone turned to him.
"Uh, hi." He said, as he leaned against the doorway.
Jeanette gasped. "Alvin, you're here."
Alvin nodded. "Clearly, I am."
Claire cleared her throat too. "Um, I think we all had our share of time with Brittany and the baby. I think we should leave these two - I mean, three alone." Claire said, feeling a bit excited for Alvin.
"Uh, yeah. You're right. Come on you guys." Dave said, and Eleanor, Jeanette, Simon and Theodore hopped off the bed. "I think we should get a couple more hours of sleep."
They all walked past Alvin, giving him a smile, and a hug from Eleanor and Jeanette.
"She's really cute, Alvin." Eleanor said, before walking out the door.
Once everyone was out, leaving Alvin, Brittany and the baby in the room, they all decided to get some sleep. They all slept in Dave and Claire's room.
Alvin took a deep breath. He walked up to the bed and carefully hopped on it. His heart nearly stopped when he first laid eyes on Brittany, holding something tiny in her arms. Brittany took her eyes off it, and looked at Alvin, giving him a heartwarming smile. Alvin awkwardly smiled back at her, but he couldn't stop staring at the bundle of fur in her arms. Like Brittany, he has never seen anything so fragile before. And he automatically knew, that the fragile thing Brittany was holding in her arms was, their baby.
Awww, sorry for all the cliffhangers XD
