One week later...

It has been one week since Melody was born. Over the past few days, she has learned to sleep throughout the whole night, without waking up in the middle and crying until her parents couldn't take it anymore. Melody has gotten to know her family better, and everyone just adored her. And Melody was growing up fast. Well, not fast fast, but fast as in she knows who's who in her family, she tries to say words (Although she can't), and she can pretty much crawl to one place or another. Not walk, crawl.

And over the past week, Melody's characteristics have become a lot more clear. She is sweet, and loving, like Brittany. But she can be a bit demanding sometimes. Like, if she doesn't get what she wants, Melody would throw a fit, just like Brittany. But she has Alvin's dare devil-ness, and she can hardly ever stay still in one spot, just like her dad.

All the chipmunks were sitting on the couch, watching random cartoons, while Dave and Claire were in the kitchen. Julie and Toby were coming over soon.

"Melody, stay still." Said Brittany. Melody was on her lap, while Brittany tried putting a hair clip in Melody's hair, but the baby just couldn't stay still.

Melody fidgeted around on her mother's lap, as she tried to grab her own feet. Brittany sighed.

Eleanor giggled. "Here, give it to me."

Brittany handed the hair clip to her sister, and Eleanor clipped it into Melody's hair. Brittany smiled. "Finally, thanks Ellie."

Melody reached her hand towards her head, touched the hair clip, and pulled it right off, throwing it to the side, accidentally hitting Theodore in the nose.

Theodore wrinkled his nose. "Ouch."

Brittany gave him a sympathetic smile. "Sorry, Theo." She turned to Melody and said, "Mel, that wasn't very nice."

Melody giggled.

Brittany sighed. "Okay, let's try this again." She said as she carefully clipped the hair clip into Melody's hair. "There, now don't touch it, okay?"

Then Melody reached towards her head, again, and pulled the hair clip right off. She giggled, as if she was trying to annoy Brittany on purpose. Alvin, Simon, Theodore, Eleanor and Jeanette all laughed at Brittany's reaction.

Brittany sighed out loud. She turned Melody around so she was looking right at her. "Mel, you're just like your daddy, you know that?"

Melody cracked a tiny smile, as if she knew what Brittany was telling her.

Brittany looked at Alvin. "Great, our daughter has your attitude."

Alvin laughed once, and shrugged. "Hey, it's a gift."

Brittany rolled her eyes at him before turning her attention back to Melody, who was innocently staring right back at her. Brittany smiled at her at picked her up to nuzzle her face against Melody's. "But I love you."

Then Claire popped her head into the living room. "Alvin, Britt? Can we talk to you guys for a minute?"

Brittany and Alvin looked at each other, confused.

"Um, sure." Said Brittany, as she handed Melody over to Jeanette. "Hold her first, I'll be back."

She and Alvin hopped off the couch and went into the kitchen, where Dave and Claire were.

Jeanette sighed in affection as she held her niece in her arms. "Melody, you're so adorable."

Of course, Brittany's pregnancy was an enormous shock to all of them, but they couldn't help but love Melody with all their hearts. She was their niece, the daughter of Alvin and Brittany. Melody had no idea how lucky she was to have the most loving aunts and uncles any baby could ever have.

Simon smiled. "Of course she is." He said, as he touched Melody's tummy, making her giggle hysterically.

Melody loved being the center of attention. She loved it when people cooed at her and praised her. She is so much like Alvin and Brittany.

Eleanor touched Melody's cheek. "I remember the day Brittany told us she was pregnant."

Theodore laughed lightly. "Oh yeah, I remember. That was pretty...intense. But we have the best niece anyone could ever have."

Dave and Claire were standing by the counter, so Alvin and Brittany hopped on the counter and looked at them.

"Whatever it was, I didn't do it." Exclaimed Alvin.

Dave sighed. "No one's in trouble, Alvin. Claire and I just need to talk to you two first."

Brittany and Alvin just looked at them, waiting for them to start talking.

"Okay, you know that Julie and Toby are coming over today for lunch, right? So we want the both of you to try and act like mature parents in front of Julie. After all, she did deliver Melody. Just to show her that you guys are responsible to take care of your own daughter." Said Claire.

Alvin scoffed. "We're responsible."

Dave and Claire said nothing. They knew that statement wasn't true. Even Brittany didn't agree with Alvin.

"Oh, and Toby doesn't know about Melody yet, and you know how Toby can get. He can be a bit...immature. So if he starts making jokes, please don't play along with him - okay Alvin?" Said Dave.

"Yeah, yeah. Fine." Alvin answered.

One hour later...

The doorbell rang, and Claire answered the door. Julie and Toby were standing on the other side.

"Julie, Toby!" Said Claire, as she as Julie embraced in a friendly hug.

"Hi!" Exclaimed Julie. "So, how's it been with...you know."

Claire giggled. "Oh, it's been pretty hectic. But everything's fine. Please come in."

Julie and Toby walked into the Seville house, and made themselves at home. Dave walked in and greeted them.

"Hey guys! I'll go get the kids so we can have lunch." Said Dave.

He walked through the hallway, and found all the chipmunks in the boys room. "Guys, Julie and Toby are here."

Simon, Jeanette, Eleanor and Theodore all hopped off the bed and went back to the kitchen to greet Julie and Toby. Dave looked at Brittany and Alvin, who were just casually walking to the door. Melody was fast asleep in Brittany's arms.

"Remember what we told you two, alright?" Asked Dave.

They nodded. "Yeah, we know Dave." Sighed Alvin.

Once they entered the kitchen, Julie automatically smiled at Brittany and Alvin. She just adored the sight of Brittany holding the baby, but too bad Melody was asleep.

Toby was sitting at the table, with a Nintendo DS in his hands, of course.

"Hey, guys." Said Dave as he took a seat across from his cousin.

"What's for lunch?" Asked Julie.

"Sandwiches!" Exclaimed Theodore.

Julie giggled. Claire smiled at them. "Theo and Eleanor helped me make lunch earlier." She said. She turned to the two green clad chipmunks. "C'mon guys, let's go get the sandwiches. They're in the fridge."

Claire, Eleanor and Theodore all disappeared into the kitchen,

Dave cleared his throat, hinting that Alvin should say Hi to Toby. Alvin rolled his eyes in return, but hopped onto the table anyways.

"Hey, Toby!" Said Alvin.

Toby lost focus on his game and stared at the red chipmunk in front of him. "Oh, hey Alvin." He turned back to his DS. "What's up?"

Brittany hopped onto the table with them. Alvin shrugged. "Nothing. It's summer vacation."

Toby nodded. "Oh, I see." His eyes suddenly widened as he started to press the buttons on the DS more intensely. "Shoot! GO, GO, GO! What are you doing? You drive like my grandmother!" He yelled at the DS.

Julie sighed and snatched the DS from his hands. She felt super embarrassed that Toby was still acting like a little boy.

Toby gave her a look. "What was that? I was winning!"

Julie rolled her eyes. "Toby, honestly..."

Toby rolled his eyes and sighed. He turned to the chipmunks, and was automatically confused when he saw Brittany. "Hey, Brittany. What are you holding?"

Brittany giggled and reached out to show him Melody.

Toby squinted his eyes. He saw a tiny baby chipmunk, dressed in a light pink satin dress. "Is that a baby chipmunk?"

Brittany nodded. "She's sleeping right now."

Then Toby turned to Dave. "Whoa, you got them a little sister?"

Jeanette and Simon, who were standing at the side, snickered at that. Dave rolled his eyes and sighed.

"No...Alvin, you tell him." Said Dave.

Toby raised his eyebrows and looked at Alvin.

Alvin had a smug smile on his face. "Um, this...she's...um, the baby is our daughter. Mine and Brittany's daughter. Melody."

Toby had the most shocked expression on his face. "WHAT?"

Julie put a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder. She and Dave started to explain everything to him. From the time when they found out Brittany was pregnant, to the time when she was going into labor, and to when Julie helped deliver Melody.

After a couple of minutes of silence, Toby turned to Brittany and Alvin. "Daughter? You two have a daughter?"

Brittany giggled nervously. "Yeah..."

"Whoa." Said Toby. "That...is...so...COOL!"

"What?" Dave exclaimed, staring at his cousin.

"Ha, if any of the Chipettes got pregnant, of course Brittany would be first." Said Toby.

"Hey!" Brittany exclaimed.

"What? It's true!" He turned to Alvin. "I always knew something was up between you two."

Alvin chuckled. "Yeah, I think everyone did."

Dave's eyes narrowed. "Alvin..."

"I didn't know you and Brittany would get so feisty so soon." Said Toby.

Alvin laughed. "Oh, you have no idea."

"Alvin!" Brittany snapped.

"Hey, and-" Toby began to say, but Julie slapped him before he could say anything else.

"Ow..." He complained.

Dave gave Toby a bad look. "Toby, please don't give them anymore ideas."

"Yeah, one baby chipmunk is enough for now." Said Claire from the kitchen.

Toby ignored Dave. "Can I see her?" He asked.

"Sure." Said Brittany. Toby held his palms out, and Brittany gently placed Melody in them.

"Whoa, she's so tiny!" Exclaimed Toby. "When was she born?"

"Just last week." Answered Brittany.

"Wow." He said.

"Toby, you better not say this to anyone." Said Dave.

Toby arched an eyebrow. He handed Melody over to Alvin. "Why not? The public don't know about this yet?"

Alvin and Brittany shook their heads. Then Claire, Eleanor and Theodore walked into the room. Claire was holding a plate filled with sandwiches. They all gathered around the dining room table, and began lunch.

Brittany took a bite into her sandwich. "Mm, Theo, Ellie, you guys make the BEST sandwiches ever."

Eleanor smiled in return. "We know." She giggled.

Then suddenly, Melody slowly woke up. She found that she was in Alvin's arm, so she reached up to her daddy, trying to get attention. Alvin felt something touch his arm. He looked down and saw Melody's big brown eyes staring back at him.

"Someone's awake." He said.

Julie, who was sitting behind him, just adored Melody. "She's so cute! She's looking more like Alvin and Brittany each day!"

Toby spoke up. "Okay, so Alvin and Brittany have a baby now. So what about Theodore and Eleanor? And Simon and Jeanette? Will we expect babies from you guys?"

Dave wanted to throw something at his cousin. Claire just sat there, with her mouth wide open. Julie smacked her forehead.

On the other hand, Theodore and Simon felt like throwing up, while Eleanor and Jeanette sat there, with a blank expression on their face. The four chipmunks just lost their appetite.

Toby noticed the silence. "What did I say?"

Eleanor blinked once. "No, no no no no. Jeanette and I are not getting pregnant, anytime soon." She shuddered.

Jeanette nodded in agreement. "No way."

"Yeah, we're not like that. That's Alvin and Brittany's job." Said Simon.

Theodore said nothing. This topic was creeping him out. Poor thing...

Alvin laughed. "You guys are saying it as if it's a bad thing."

Simon shrugged. "Well, to us it is. We're WAY too young to have kids. But you and Brittany didn't think first before doing it."

"Yeah, but whatever. Let's not talk about this." Said Jeanette. Like Theodore, this topic was grossing her out. She turned to Toby. "Claire's right. One baby chipmunk is enough for this family."

Toby laughed. "Oh." He turned to Alvin and Brittany. "Knowing you two, I bet Melody's gonna have some siblings pretty soon, right?"

"TOBY!" Exclaimed Dave and Julie at the same time.

Toby held his hands out in defense. "Hey, just sayin'."

Alvin laughed. "Hmm, not a bad idea, right Brittany?"

Brittany looked at him, with her mouth dropped open. "ALVIN!"

Dave sighed out loud. "Alvin, seriously." He was not in the mood for these kinds of jokes.

Alvin laughed. "I was just kidding!"
