---11:00 PM, Saturday July 10---

That night...

Dave and Claire had agreed to let Alvin and Brittany sleep in the Chipette's room, and let Jeanette and Eleanor move into the Chipmunk's room, since Melody had to be with Alvin and Brittany.

Jeanette and Eleanor had taken up Alvin's bed, while Theodore and Simon slept in their own bed. Dave and Claire walked in the room and looked at the 4 chipmunks.

"You guys sleep tight, alright?" Said Claire sweetly.

"We will." The four said in unison.

Dave eyed the four chipmunks carefully. "Listen, I trust the four of you guys, but if I suspect any 'funny' business, you guys can find another another house to live in." He threatened.

Simon rolled his eyes. "Dave, we're not like that."

Dave sighed. "Alright, but I don't need anymore chipmunk grandchildren." He said sternly.

"Dave..." Claire sighed.

He looked at her. "What? I'm not saying that I don't want any more, I'm just saying that I don't want any more for another, 10 years or so."

Claire rolled her eyes.

Eleanor giggled. "It's okay Dave, we know."

Dave smiled and sighed. "Alright, you guys. Goodnight." He said, as she turned the lights off, and closed the door. Then he and Claire went into the Chipette's room, where Alvin, Brittany and Melody were.

They saw Alvin and Brittany sitting on the bed, while Melody slept in Brittany's arms. Alvin looked up and saw Dave and Claire standing at the doorway.

Alvin half smiled. "Hi."

Claire smiled. "Hey you two. Just checking on you guys."

Brittany sighed. "Well, she finally stopped crying, and hopefully she'll sleep through the night." She yawned. Today has been an extremely long day. She couldn't believe that Melody was born only THIS MORNING. But it just felt like a lifetime already.

Claire laughed lightly. "Oh, well, just get some rest, okay?"

Alvin and Brittany meekly nodded.

"Goodnight." Said Dave, then he and Claire closed the door.

After Dave and Claire shut the door, Alvin groaned and fell on his back. "I'm so frickin' tired!"

Brittany rolled her eyes. "And you think I'm not?" She sighed. "Alvin, can you hold her first? I need to use the bathroom and change my clothes."

Alvin nodded. Brittany handed him their baby as she got off the bed, with her PJ's in her arms, and made her way to the bathroom. "And make sure she doesn't wake up."

Alvin rolled his eyes. "I know, I know."

She went into the bathroom and hopped onto the counter and looked at herself in the mirror. She sighed in relief. She was so happy she wasn't 'fat' anymore, and that she could finally move without hurting herself. Brittany then stared at her face in the mirror. She hadn't taken a shower all day. Her hair was in a huge mess, and her clothes just felt dirty.

She sighed as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was way too tired to do anything. "Whatever, I'll just take a shower tomorrow morning."

Brittany changed into her pajamas and brushed her teeth. She sat in front of the mirror, combing her hair, until she heard her daughter's cry again. Brittany groaned and put her chipmunk sized hair brush down, hopped off the counter and walked back into the room, only to see Alvin trying to calm Melody down.

Brittany rolled her eyes and hopped on the bed with them. "Alvin, what did you do?"

Alvin looked at her. "Me? I did nothing! She started to cry for no reason!"

Brittany looked at him in disgust. "God, you're annoying." She said to Alvin. Then she scooped Melody from his arms and held her close. "Aww, Melody, was daddy being mean?" She cooed.

Alvin sighed and rolled his eyes.

Melody continued to cry, as Brittany continued to cradle her in her arms. "Shh, please don't cry Mel..."

Alvin sighed. "Here, give her back to me. Maybe I can-"

"No! Alvin, you're gonna make it worse." Brittany sneered.

Alvin rolled his eyes again. "Fine, have it your way." He mumbled.

1 hour later...(12:00AM)

For the past hour, Brittany has been going around in circles in her room, trying to let Melody fall asleep. Alvin, on the other hand, wanted to help her, but Brittany didn't let him, making the same excuse, 'You're gonna make it worse!'

Brittany hopped back on the bed, with Melody still crying in her arms. Brittany sighed and gave up. "Okay, fine. I give up. You try making her fall asleep." She said as she handed their crying daughter to Alvin.

Alvin sighed out loud as he held Melody in his arms. He held her close and patted her back while he said, "Sleep Melody, sleep." Over and over again.

Alvin felt like a total idiot while he said it, but right now, he'd do anything to get some sleep. Miraculously, after 10 minutes or so, Melody slowly fell asleep into Alvin's arms. They could hear the gentle snores coming from their baby girl. Brittany sighed and smiled.

"Alvin, that was amazing!" Brittany said, impressed.

Alvin shrugged. "Yeah, you're right. Finally she's asleep."

"Yeah, thank goodness." Said Brittany.

Alvin smirked. "You couldn't of done what I just did to Melody." He said. "I told you so..."

Brittany rolled her eyes. "That was just luck, Alvin."

Alvin laughed. "Uh huh, sure."

Suddenly, Brittany yawned. "Whatever. Here, just put her between us, so we can finally get some sleep."

Alvin did just that. He put Melody between them, Brittany on her right, and Alvin on her left. They both hoped that Melody would be able to sleep through the night, without any disturbances. Brittany flicked off the light coming from the lamp.

"Goodnight Alvin." She said softly.

Alvin didn't answer. He was already fast asleep.

Brittany just smiled. "Goodnight Melody." She whispered. Then she tucked herself for bed, and fell asleep right away.

3 hours later...(3:30 AM)

It was still pretty dark outside, and it was completely silent in the household, but the silence broke when Melody started to cry again.

Alvin and Brittany woke up at the exact same time. They both groaned. They were so tired, they thought they hardly got any sleep. Brittany sat up, and flicked the light on. She turned to her side and picked Melody from the bed. Brittany yawned. She felt like passing out any minute now.

Alvin was half awake, half asleep. He laid on his side, trying to block the noises out of his head. He felt someone tugging on him, but he ignored it.

"Alvin." Brittany groaned. She tugged on Alvin's shirt. He didn't reply so she slapped him, lightly.

Alvin turned on his side and faced Brittany. "What?" He moaned.

"I'm not her only parent you know. You have to help me too." She snapped.

Alvin sighed and sat up. "But I helped her fall asleep."

Brittany glared at him. "But I'm the one who carried her in my stomach for a whole freakin' month!"

Alvin didn't reply to that. He knew he couldn't argue with that. He sighed. "Here, give her to me."

Brittany handed Melody over to him, and Alvin tried putting her back to sleep, but her crying just became worse.

Brittany groaned. "Give her back to me." She said and she took Melody out of Alvin's arms. She tiredly rocked her back and forth for a couple of minutes, but her crying didn't stop.

"Why don't you just put her between us again." Suggested Alvin.

"Fine." Said Brittany, and she out their baby between them. Brittany stroked her hair, but Melody still continued to cry. "Alvin, it's not working. Do something."

"Do what?" He asked, a bit annoyed by Brittany now.

"Anything. Just something to put her to sleep. Sing to her." Said Brittany.

"Sing what?" He groaned.

"Anything." She said, getting a bit pissed off. "Anything soft and gentle."

Alvin sighed. "Okay, um...You spin me right round baby right round, like a record baby, right round round round."

Brittany just stared at him, with a disbelieving look on her face.

"What?" He asked.

"What was that? You call that soft and gentle?" She spazzed.

Alvin rolled his eyes. "Let's see you do better then."

Brittany sighed and looked at her daughter. "Three little birds, sat on my window..."

3 hours later...(6:45AM)

Finally, Melody fell asleep, after 3 hours. Alvin and Brittany had taken several turns singing to her. They felt like their throats have dried up. And by the time Melody fell asleep, Brittany and Alvin weren't tired anymore.

Brittany looked at Melody, who was now sleeping between them, lying on her back. "She is such a handful."

Alvin sighed. "I know..."

"God, I wanna fall asleep, but I'm not tired anymore." Complained Brittany.

"Just lie down." Said Alvin.

"But what if she wakes up again?" Asked Brittany.

Alvin shrugged. "Then we'll put her to sleep again."

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Never would of thought of that." She said with sarcasm.

Alvin looked at the clock. "Jeez, it's almost 7 in the morning. And we hardly got any sleep." He said, throwing his head back.

Brittany sighed. "I know, but we're doing this for Melody. We're parents now Alvin. We have to accept the things that are being thrown at us. This is the start to...a new life, I guess."

Alvin looked at her, not saying anything back at first. Brittany looked so exhausted, and it was only the first day of parenting. Melody was just a day old. And it will get even harder as the days go by. It will get harder for Brittany, and him.

Brittany looked at Melody. She looked so peaceful when she slept, but it was like handling a hurricane when she was awake. "God, I never thought handling a baby could be so tough." She said, looking at Alvin.

Alvin sighed. "Me too."

"We thought it would be so easy." Sighed Brittany.

"But it's not." Groaned Alvin, as he sorta finished her sentence.

Outside, the sun began to rise a bit, making Brittany groan. "Ugh, I need to get some sleep!" She complained.

Alvin half smiled at her. "Then get some sleep."

"But Melody-"

"Don't worry, I'll look over her." Said Alvin.

Brittany looked at him. "Really? Are you sure?"

Alvin nodded. "Yeah, you look tired Britt."

Brittany smiled at him, then yawned. "Thanks Alvin." She said, as she laid on her side, and quickly drifted off to sleep.

Alvin sighed, as he just sat there. He sat there, almost completely frozen for about 15 minutes. Then sun started to shine through the curtain, making Alvin a bit sleepy, for some apparent reason.

His eye's started to close, but then he shook his head. "No, I told Brittany I'd watch Melody."

He tried sitting up on his bed, for another few minutes, but he couldn't stay up. After 10 minutes or so, he 'accidentally' fell asleep.

After another 10 minutes, Brittany felt Melody move against her body. She hesitantly woke up and saw her daughter sleeping, like she hoped. But beside her, she saw Alvin. And what really pissed her off, was the fact that he was asleep, when he said he would watch over Melody.

"Unbelievable." She muttered under her breath. She reached over and shook Alvin.

Alvin quickly woke up, looking confused. "W-what happened?" He asked tiredly.

Brittany gave him a bad look. "I thought you were gonna watch over Melody."

"Oh..." Alvin said. "I'm sorry, Brittany. I was so tired and-"

Brittany cut him off. She couldn't blame him, she was tired too. "No, it's alright. I understand." She sighed.

It was now 7 in the morning, and Alvin and Brittany just sat there, on the bed, tired as ever. The only good part to this was that Melody was peacefully asleep. And they hoped she would stay like that until noon, or so.

Alvin broke the silence. "So, what should we do now?" He asked.

Brittany sighed. "I dunno. We need to get some sleep."

"Then let's get some sleep. We don't need to watch over Melody. She's between us, nothing's gonna happen to her." Said Alvin.

Brittany yawned. "But what if she wakes up?"

Alvin rolled his eyes. "We'll know when she wakes up. She'll start crying."

"But what if she doesn't cry?' Asked Brittany.

"She will. Now let's get some sleep before Melody wakes up again." Said Alvin.

Brittany groaned but then said, "Okay, okay. You're right." Then she laid on her back. She looked at the clock. It read 7:05 AM. She fluttered her eyes close, and drifted off to sleep. And Alvin drifted off to sleep, too.

It felt like a short time, but it wasn't. 2 hours later (9:00AM) , they both woke up by the sound of Melody's cry, again. This time, it wasn't a hysterical cry, but it was just a normal cry to say that she needs her parent's attention. Brittany and Alvin groaned.

"Alvin, Melody..." That was all Brittany could say.

Alvin groaned into his pillow.

"Alvin..." Brittany muttered in annoyance.

Alvin didn't respond.

Brittany sighed then sat up, and scooped Melody from the bed, and cradled her in her arms. Brittany yawned as she rocked her back and forth. The only thing she wanted right now was sleep. "Ssh, don't cry Melody."

Melody continued to cry. Brittany looked over at Alvin, who was fast asleep. She groaned and reached over to him, poking his arm. "Alvin!" She said, in a whining voice.

Alvin sighed out loud and turned on his side to face them. "Whaaaat?" He mumbled.

"Help me." She pleaded.

Alvin groaned and sat up beside them. "What?"

"I can't get her to stop crying." Brittany said.

"Try singing to her again." Said Alvin.

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Alvin, I hardly got any sleep. Do you think I have the energy to sing to her right now?"

"God, no need to get moody. I didn't get any sleep either." Muttered Alvin under his breath.

If Melody wasn't in her arms, Brittany would of strangled him. She just sighed. She looked down at her daughter and said, "Mel, don't cry. Mommy is here."

But Melody wouldn't stop crying. Brittany sighed. She has never felt so tired in her life. She has never felt so frustrated in her life, she she knew it was wrong to take it out on a baby. She looked over at Alvin, who looked as helpless as she was. "Alvin, help me."

"Maybe she's just hungry." He said. "Let's take her to the kitchen."

Brittany hated the idea of leaving her bed. She wanted sleep, badly. But this was for Melody. Brittany sighed and stood up, with Melody still in her arms. "Okay, let's go." She said tiredly.

She and Alvin hopped off the bed, walked out the room and walked into the kitchen. Of course, everyone was awake. They were all early risers. Theodore, Simon, Eleanor and Jeanette were in the living room, watching their Sunday morning cartoons, while Claire was at the table with a cup of coffee in her hands, and Dave was sitting across her, with a newspaper in his hands. Everyone fell silent when they heard Melody's cry. All eyes were on Alvin and Brittany as they entered the kitchen. They went straight to the fridge, without even saying 'Good Morning' to anyone.

Dave gave Claire a look. He looked over at the four chipmunks, and they just looked clueless. By the time Brittany and Alvin reached the fridge, Melody stopped crying.

Claire broke the silence as Brittany and Alvin hopped onto the table where she and Dave were at. "Good morning."

Brittany gave her a weak smile. "Good morning Claire." She said as she set Melody down.

Dave noticed Alvin leaning on a carton of milk for support. He looked like he was gonna fall asleep any second. "Hey, you okay Alvin?"

Alvin looked at him. "What? Oh, yeah. I'm fine."

Brittany gave Melody a piece of a cookie to nibble on. She remembered what Julie said. 'Baby chipmunks can eat about anything.' Brittany sat down, and sighed.

"You two okay?" Asked Claire.

The rest of the chipmunks left the couch and hopped on the table, where the rest of them were. They looked at Brittany and Alvin, who basically looked like zombies, because of their lack of sleep. Jeanette and Eleanor went over to Melody while Simon and Theodore looked at their brother.

"Whoa. You guys looked like you haven't slept all night!" Exclaimed Theodore, earning a bad look from Alvin.

"No kidding." Agreed Simon, getting a bad look from Alvin as well.

"It sure seems like that." Mumbled Brittany.

Dave spoke up. "Well, that's the art of parenthood."

Brittany and Alvin just groaned out loud, causing everyone else to either laugh, or smirk. They all looked at the baby, who was sitting there, eating her cookie, looking as innocent as possible.

Jeanette giggled. Melody was sitting in Eleanor's lap now. "Melody kept you up all night? How much harm could she possibly do to you guys?"

Brittany gave her sister a bad look. How can she NOT see how tired and exhausted she and Alvin looked? "Oh, you guys have no idea."

Sorry if it's not that good, I was kinda rushing through it so you guys wouldn't have to wait any longer. But I hope you guys still liked it :D So please review! Thank youu guys! 3 :)
