Okay, first of all, I AM SOOO SORRY D:
I know you guys are probably mad at me for not updating this story for almost 2 WEEKS!!! I was just soo super busy, like REALLY busy, and I just didn't have any time to work on the story! :( I'm sorry...
But anyways, that's over now! Here's the next chapter of the story! It's pretty cute, I guess. It's all about the baby :)
Here it is!
---8:10 AM, Saturday July 10---
Brittany held their baby in her arms. She held it close to her body, as she slowly cradled it side to side. The baby cuddled up to Brittany, as she slowly drifted back to sleep. Brittany looked at Alvin. "Hi, Alvin." She sighed.
"H-hey." He said. He couldn't take his eyes off the baby. "It's good to see that your alive." He said to Brittany.
Brittany rolled her eyes, but giggled. "Yeah, I'm pretty surprised that I'm alive too." She joked.
Alvin bit his lip. He awkwardly stood there, with his hands crossed over his chest. "Um, so, how do you feel?"
"Fantastic." She answered his question, as she smiled at the baby. Then she looked at Alvin. "Alvin? Why are you asking me questions while you're standing way over there?" She asked.
Alvin realized that he was standing at the foot of her bed. "Oh, uh, I don't know."
"Why don't you sit here with us?" Brittany suggested.
Alvin flinched at the word 'us'. 'Us' meaning his girlfriend, and his daughter. "S-sure."
Alvin slowly walked over to Brittany, and sat beside her. He was nearly taken in surprise when he saw their daughter. It was his first time seeing her up close. She was small, and so fragile looking. It was just like what everybody said, she was beautiful.
"Wow." Alvin sighed.
Brittany smiled. "I know, she's so beautiful Alvin."
Alvin nodded. "She is..."
"Would you like to hold her?" Asked Brittany
"Me? I, uh..." Alvin stuttered.
"Here, hold her." Brittany said, reaching her arms out to give the baby to Alvin.
Alvin gulped as he took his daughter in his arms for the first time. Just like Brittany, he was feeling incredibly nervous, but after a few seconds, his nerves calmed down. She felt so delicate and so soft. He felt the gentle breathing of the baby, and it felt so good to hear something so angelic coming from something that belongs to him and Brittany. Alvin touched their baby's fur. It felt so soft and so new. He looked at his sleeping daughter, then at Brittany, who was looking right back at him.
"Isn't she amazing?" Brittany asked, snuggling up to Alvin.
Alvin nodded. He didn't know what to say.
Brittany giggled as she stroked the baby's cheek. "Alvin, I never knew that something so amazing and so beautiful could exist. But I was wrong. She's here in your arms."
Just after Brittany said that, the baby's eyes flew open. They automatically caught sight of Alvin. Alvin, on the other hand, was more than just 'surprised'. He felt ecstatic when he looked at the baby's face. He noticed something that really stood out about his daughter.
"Whoa, Britt. Her eyes are the same color as mine!" Alvin exclaimed.
Brittany nodded. "I know. They're so beautiful." She sighed in awe.
"Britt?" Alvin said, while he still had their baby in his arms. "What should we name her?"
"Oh..." Brittany hadn't thought about the name yet. "I dunno, what do you think?"
Alvin shrugged.
Brittany sighed and looked at their baby. "Hmm, what about the name...Melody?"
"Not that I object, but why 'Melody'?" Asked Alvin.
"Well, the name Melody means Music, and Song. And I thought it would be appropriate, since we're, you know, singers?" Brittany said.
Alvin actually liked the idea. "I think it's perfect, Britt." He said, smiling at his daughter.
Melody had her eyes fixed on her dad. Her tiny nose twitched, as she moved around in his arms. Brittany gently stroked the baby's hair with her finger.
Brittany smiled at looked at her baby, who was now staring at her. "Melody..." She cooed.
That Afternoon...(4:00 PM)
Dave, Claire, Theodore, Eleanor, Jeanette and Simon had slept in until 2 in the afternoon. They all got to spend a bit more time with Melody after that, while Alvin and Brittany finally got some sleep after that intense night.
Claire was sitting down on the couch, while she held Melody in her palms. Melody sat up, while she stared at Claire. Dave was sitting beside Claire, with one arm wrapped around her, looking at his 'granddaughter'.
Claire giggled and made coo-ing noises at Melody as she held her close to her face. "Oh, aren't you just the most cutest thing?"
Melody tilted her head as she continued to stare at Claire.
"Um, I know I'm not an expert or anything, but isn't Melody suppose to stay with Alvin and Brittany for the next couple of days? I mean, she's still a baby, and she was just born today!" Dave exclaimed.
Claire laughed and put her hands in her lap. "She isn't human, Dave. She doesn't have the functions that human babies have. She's a chipmunk, and Julie said that she's okay to be out and about and away from her parents for a while, but she just needs very careful supervision."
"Oh." Dave said. "I guess you're right."
Claire sighed. "I can't believe this is Alvin and Brittany's daughter."
"Alvin and Brittany." Dave mumbled. "You can always expect surprises from them." Even though it had been a couple of weeks since Brittany told them that she was pregnant, Dave still couldn't get over the fact that they're parents, in high school, while they were huge rockstars.
"Dave, it's alright." Claire said.
Dave shrugged. "It's gonna be hard keep this away from the media."
Claire nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean, but we'll just have to try our best to keep Melody out of the spotlight for a while."
Dave sighed again. "Yeah, I dunno how long we'll be able to keep it up."
Before Claire could answer, Jeanette and Eleanor came running up to them.
"Claire, Claire! Can we hold her please?" Eleanor asked
Claire shrugged. "Sure, I don't see why not." She said as she put her palms out so Jeanette could take her. "Take care of her guys, she's still a baby!"
Jeanette laughed. "Claire, we raised each other by ourselves for a long time. I think we know how to take care of our own niece."
"What are you gonna do?" Asked Dave.
Eleanor shrugged. "I dunno. We just wanna spend time with her, since Alvin and Brittany are dead tired. But we'll take care of her, promise."
Claire just smiled, as she watched Eleanor and Jeanette walk into the kitchen with Melody. They hopped onto the table, and set Jeanette sat down, with Melody in her lap.
Eleanor smiled at Melody. The new born baby yawned. "Oh, she's so adorable."
Jeanette nodded. "We're lucky she doesn't cry, and poop all the time like human babies do."
"Yeah. And the only thing all human babies do is sleep and wet themselves. But we don't need to worry about that. Thank god." Eleanor said.
"And I think Melody knows who everyone is now." Jeanette said.
"Of course she does, captain obvious." Eleanor said.
Jeanette rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She looked down at Melody, who was grabbing and playing with her feet. She sighed in affection. "I just love her to bits."
Eleanor sat down beside her. She admired her sister's daughter. "Yeah, I know. I love her too."
Melody was reaching out towards her feet. Jeanette stopped her before she could put it in her mouth. "She'll be like the daughter we never had."
Eleanor giggled. "We're her aunts, and I think it's our job to be protective over her. After all, she is our niece, so she is like our daughter."
Jeanette handed Melody to Eleanor. Melody cracked a tiny smile at her. Jeanette sighed and touched her cheek. "We'll always love you, Melody."
In the room with Alvin and Brittany...
Brittany woke up from her deep sleep. She stretched, and for the first time, she didn't feel any pain. She felt new, in a way. She felt like her old self again. No more big bulging tummy, no more morning sickness, no more pain - she was back to normal. She yawned and sat up, as she felt her energy come back to her. She felt like she could move now. She didn't have to stay in bed all day.
Brittany looked over at Alvin, who was snoring away in his sleep. She placed a hand on him. "Alvin?"
Alvin's ears twitched. "What?" He grumbled.
"You awake?" She asked.
Alvin's eyes flew open. He sat up, rubbed his eyes and stared at her. "I am now." He yawned.
Brittany gave him a sympathetic smile. "Sorry."
Alvin shrugged. "Nah, it's fine." He said. Then he noticed something. "Hey, where's Melody?"
"She's outside with Dave and Claire." She answered.
"You sure she's okay?" Asked Alvin.
Brittany giggled. "Of course she is, Alvin. Why wouldn't she be?"
Alvin didn't answer. He sighed. "Today, and from now on, we're parents."
Brittany smiled. "Parents of the most beautiful little girl ever."
Alvin smiled in agreement. "I just hope the media won't find out about this soon."
Brittany sighed. "I know, but it's gonna be really hard now. We have school in September, and we also have to take care of Melody."
"But Claire said that she would take some time off her job and take care of her." Said Alvin.
Brittany shrugged. "Yeah, I know. But I don't think it's fair for her to give up her job, just to take care of our baby."
Alvin didn't respond to that at first. After a moment of hesitation, he smirked and said, "Well, at least we can have a bit of alone time together."
Brittany rolled her eyes and elbowed him in the ribs. "You have to try to act mature now Alvin. You're a dad now, remember?"
"But I'm still a kid!"
"Technically, you're a teenager. And you're the one who got me pregnant, so you shouldn't be complaining about it." Said Brittany.
Alvin sighed. "Fine, fine."
Brittany half smiled. She turned to Alvin, who was staring at her right back. "Our lives have changed now. We have to be ready to face the world of parenthood, Alvin. We have to act more mature, and more responsible."
Alvin sighed again. He knew she was right, but it seemed so hard for him to understand. "I know."
"We have to be ready for all the things coming our way. We have to put our lives second. Melody is our top priority now." Brittany said.
Alvin nodded. "I know." He repeated.
And it was. Starting today, they had to put their lives behind them, and put their daughter first. She had to be the most valuable thing in their lives, and they had to treat her like that. Melody Seville, their new born baby, their daughter.
"I hope it won't be difficult taking care of her." Brittany sighed.
Alvin shrugged. "Hey, it may not be that bad. I mean, how hard is it to take care of a baby?"
Brittany sighed again. "Hmm, I dunno. I hope you're right."
"Trust me, it won't be difficult. She's a tiny baby, how hard is it to take care of her?" Said Alvin confidently.
"Okay, fine. You're right, you're right. And she's a baby, our baby, after all. All she ever does is sleep." Said Brittany.
Alvin nodded. "Exactly. So there's nothing to be worried about."
Then a few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.
"Brittany? Alvin? Can we come in?" Eleanor's voice came from the other side.
Brittany looked over at Alvin with a confused look on her face. "Um, sure Elle. Come in."
The door creaked open, and Jeanette and Eleanor stepped in. Jeanette had Melody in her arms. But the problem was, Melody was crying hysterically. Jeanette and Eleanor hopped on the bed, and walked over to Alvin and Brittany. Brittany shot out of her seat and walked over to Jeanette who handed the baby over to her.
"Oh my god, what's wrong?" Asked Brittany.
"She's crying." Said Jeanette.
Brittany rolled her eyes. "I can see that, Jeanette. But why?"
Eleanor sighed. "She's a baby, Brittany. It's natural for her to cry."
"Oh. But why is she crying?" Asked Brittany again.
"We were playing with her in the kitchen, and all of a sudden, she started to cry. But then Claire told us to bring her over to you guys. She said that she's probably crying because she wanted her parents." Answered Eleanor.
Brittany continued to cradle the crying baby in her arms. She sighed. "Oh, okay. Thanks."
Jeanette smiled without enthusiasm. "No problem. Just call Claire if you need any help, or whatever."
Brittany returned the smile, hers without enthusiasm as well. "Yeah, I will. Thanks."
Eleanor and Jeanette hopped off the bed and left the room. After closing the door behind them, Jeanette sighed.
"What's wrong?" Asked Eleanor.
Jeanette shrugged. "I don't think Brittany and Alvin know how hard it is to take care of a baby. Melody will probably keep them up all night, and you know how they get whenever they don't get any sleep."
Eleanor sighed. "You're right. But this was their choice, so they have to learn to be real parents."
Jeanette and Eleanor started to walk down the hallway. "I hope they don't stress out." Said Jeanette.
"It's okay Jeanette. They'll be fine. If they can work 15 hours straight in the recording studio, then they can take care of a baby, right?" Eleanor said.
Jeanette shrugged. She had a pretty bad feeling that tonight wasn't gonna be a very peaceful one, but she just nodded anyways. "Right..." She said quietly.
Sorry if it's a bit short, but I promise that the next one will be way better! You guys probably know what the next chapter is about *wink wink* judging by what Eleanor and Jeanette said about taking care of the baby, and by Alvin when he said that it won't be hard taking care of a baby.
Ha, as if.
Anyways, I hope you guys liked it! Please review! Thanks!!!
