-5:00 PM, Monday August 23 -

Brittany and Alvin followed Billy into a large interview room. There were two seats, obviously for the two chipmunks, and one placed in front of them, for the interviewer. Brittany sighed when she saw all the cameras and stuff around the room. She couldn't believe she was actually doing this.

Billy looked at the two chipmunks. "Okay, if you'll just sit in the chairs, and I'll get the crew ready."

Alvin and Brittany did just that. Billy left the room for a moment to get the camera crew and all the other people.

When they were completely alone, Brittany groaned. "Alvin, I hate this." She complained.

Alvin slightly rolled his eyes. "Brittany, I know. But we have to get this over with. You were the one who said we have to."

Brittany rolled her eyes back in response. She crossed her arms and turned away from her counterpart. She didn't want to start an argument right now. After a couple minutes, Billy came back into the room and sat in the chair across from the two chipmunks. Alvin was use to having interviews, but he never had one like this.

"Okay, we're on in 3, 2, 1...go." Said the man behind the camera.

Billy looked into the camera. "Hello, and welcome back to Access Hollywood. Now, it was just a couple of weeks when we heard the news of the summer. Global teen superstars Alvin and Brittany of the Chipmunks and the Chipettes are here in the studio right now, here for a tell-all about the rumor about the newest addition to their family. Their daughter, Melody."

Brittany hissed under her breath when she heard the words 'tell-all'.

Billy looked at the two chipmunks. "Thanks for coming here you two. Now the world wants to know, is it true that you guys have a daughter, or is it just a rumor?"

Brittany didn't plan on talking. She relied on Alvin doing the whole interview.

"Uh, yeah. Brittany and I have a daughter. Her name is Melody." Alvin said, uncomfortable about the whole thing.

"See, I told you it's true!" They heard a voice coming from one of the people behind the camera.

Billy nodded. "So it's not a rumor, it's true. So, how is she?"

"She's doing great." Alvin answered plainly.

"That's good. So let's go back to the very beginning. Brittany, where and when did you find out that you were pregnant?" Asked Billy.

Brittany was taken in surprise when she heard her name. She didn't want to talk throughout this interview, but now, she guessed she didn't have a choice anymore. "Excuse me?"

"Where were you when you found out you were pregnant?" Asked Billy.

"Um..." Brittany bit her lip. She felt everyone's eyes on her, even Alvin's. "I was in my room. The first people I told were my sisters."

"How did they feel about that?" Asked Billy.

"Jeanette and Eleanor weren't that happy at first." Answered Brittany.

Billy was expecting a longer answer, but he just nodded. "How did you feel when you found out?"

Brittany sighed. "Just like every teenager that just found out she was pregnant, I was in shock. I was scared for my life. I was especially scared because I didn't know how to tell Alvin."

"How long did you keep it a secret from him?" Asked Billy.

The room was silent. Brittany swore she could hear her own heart pumping. "A couple of days. It was really hard when I told him."

"Why?" Asked Billy.

"I, uh, thought he was gonna be mad at me. I mean, for someone like Alvin, I know he wasn't ready to be a dad." Said Brittany. Alvin had the urge to roll his eyes, but he didn't. Not when the cameras were rolling.

Billy turned to Alvin. "When Brittany finally told you, what kinds of things were going through your mind?"

Alvin gulped. "I was...surprised, shocked. My brothers were shocked too, and they were a bit disappointed in me, I guess."

"But I bet it was even harder telling your father, Dave, right?" Asked Billy.

Neither Alvin or Brittany spoke up at first. They didn't want to go back to the day they told Dave and Claire. That was the scariest day of their life. Alvin nodded. "Yeah, we were scared for life. Um, Dave wasn't too please when he found out that I got Brittany...pregnant."

"Was it scary telling him?" Asked Billy.

Brittany nodded. "Oh yeah. But we were glad that we got it over with."

"But everything's okay now, right?" Asked Billy.

Alvin and Brittany nodded.

"So tell us about Melody. What does she look like?" Asked Billy.

Brittany was okay with this topic. "Melody is adorable. Her fur is the exact same colour as mine. And her eyes are just like Alvin's."

"What about her personality?" Asked Billy.

Brittany laughed. "Dave is always telling us that Melody is so much like us. Like, she can never stay still. She can't sit in one spot for too long or else she'll just fuss around. And she's a bit of a dare devil."

Billy laughed. "So, when was she born?" He looked at Alvin.

"Uh..." Alvin said, but honestly, he had no idea.

Brittany sighed as she looked at Alvin, who looked clueless. "July 10."

"Oh, so she's over a month old now? Can she talk? Walk or anything like that?" Asked Billy.

Alvin shook his head. "Nope."

Brittany laughed. "Yeah she can talk. Well, the only word she can say is 'Mommy'. Alvin isn't too pleased about that." She said jokingly. Alvin shrugged, but he cracked a smile.

"What about your siblings? How do they feel about your daughter?" Asked Billy.

"Eleanor, Jeanette, Theodore and Simon absolutely love Melody. I bet if they had a choice, they'd keep her for themselves. They spend every waking minute with her. But it's great because when we're not awake or anything, we can rely on them to take care of her. Dave and Claire love her too. Claire's our uh...well, she's Dave's girlfriend." Said Alvin.

"Were you planning to keep Melody a secret any longer?" Asked Billy.

Alvin and Brittany looked at each other for a brief second. Alvin turned back to Billy. "Well, honestly, we were trying to keep her away from the media as long as possible."

"But then the news broke. How did you feel about that?" Asked Billy.

"I felt like my life was over. I don't want to expose Melody into the public." Said Brittany. She suddenly regretted saying that. She didn't want people to know what her feelings were, but too late for that now...

Billy nodded. "I understand. So let's talk about school. School is starting in September, which is in a few weeks. How will you cope with all the school work, being parents and all your music and stuff?"

Brittany sighed. "When we're in school, Melody will be home with Claire. And once we get home, Claire will go to her evening job."

"What about your music? Like all your concerts?" Asked Billy.

"We're taking Melody with us, of course. It's gonna be hard work rehearsing for concerts, and recording songs in the studio with a baby, but we'll manage it." Answered Brittany.

"Is it hard taking care of her?" Asked Billy.

Alvin shook his head. "When she was first born, it was impossible to get some sleep. But it's fun taking care of her now."

"I can see that you love each other, and you love your daughter." Said Billy. "So on to your fans. What do you think their expressions were when they first found out?"

"I don't know. But we hope they can understand. We're not gonna stop making music and plan concerts, no matter what happens." Said Brittany. Alvin nodded in agreement.

"Will the world see the first glimpse of the baby soon?" Asked Billy.

Brittany and Alvin looked at each other. "Um, maybe. When she's ready." Said Brittany.

"So, how does it feel to be parents? I mean, you two are the biggest pop stars in the world, and you two are still teenagers." Asked Billy.

"It doesn't feel any different. We're still pop stars, and we're still teenagers, but we just have a baby. But it's great. We wouldn't change anything about it." Said Alvin.

Billy smiled. "So you two don't regret anything?"

"Nope. It gave us Melody." Brittany answered simply with a smile.

"That's a great answer." Billy smiled. "Well, Brittany, Alvin, thank you for being here today. We appreciate it."

"Thanks for having us." Said Alvin, not meaning it AT ALL.

"And we wish you luck with Melody in the future." Said Billy.

Brittany smiled. "Thank you."

"And we're off." Said the man behind the camera.

Billy stood up and held a finger out to shake Brittany and Alvin's paws. "Again, thanks for being here to talk about Melody. We know it was a sensitive topic for you two, but we're grateful that you two are here anyways."

"No problem." Answered Alvin.

"Well, the interview with air on tomorrow's episode of Access Hollywood, you two can check it out if you want." Said Billy.

Brittany nodded. "We will."

"Okay, I think Dave is waiting for you in the main room. Thanks again you guys." Billy said.

Brittany and Alvin waved them off, and walked into the long hallway, to the main room where Dave was waiting.

As they walked through the hallway, Alvin gave Brittany a kiss on the cheek. "You did great Britt. I was surprise you didn't snap at the people."

Brittany laughed and rolled her eyes. "Oh, believe me. I wanted to."

"I can't believe the interview lasted for an hour! To me, it felt like 10 minutes." Said Alvin.

"I know! It went by so fast. Maybe it's because we were calm throughout it?" Said Brittany.

"Oh, I was calm. But I know you weren't." Joked Alvin, who earned a playful slap on the arm from Brittany.

When they walked into the main room, they found Dave already there. "Oh, you two are done already? That was short."

Alvin laughed. "But we made it in and out alive."

They walked to the car, and drove back home.

"So, how was it?" Asked Dave as he drove.

"It wasn't that bad." Said Brittany. "I was glad they didn't ask really personal questions."

"Yeah, me too. And thank god it's over." Said Alvin.

"I just miss Melody now. I haven't been away from her this long." Said Brittany.

"Britt, it's only been 2 hours." Alvin said.

"I still miss her." Brittany snapped, but then smiled at him.

BACK AT THE HOUSE...

Melody was crying. She was crying a lot. Eleanor, Jeanette, Simon and Theodore had all taken turns holding their niece, trying to calm her down, but it just made it even worse. Melody was crying for an hour straight, it kinda gave them headaches. Jeanette was carrying the crying baby in her arms for the 10th time today. Melody was fussing around in her arms so much that Jeanette almost dropped the baby.

"Melody, stop moving around. I might drop you.!" Said Jeanette, but it was no use. "Help me..."

Simon picked up Melody's peach rattle and tried to give it to the baby, hoping that it would calm her down. "Melody, look! It's your rattle!"

Melody took the rattle from her uncle, and held it in her hands. She stopped crying, which gave her aunts and uncles a bit of hope. But then she threw it on the ground, making her cry even more.

Jeanette threw him a bad look. "Not helping, Simon!"

Simon took a step back with his arms out in defense. "Sorry jeez. I thought it would work!"

Eleanor sighed and offered to hold the baby. "Melody don't cry." But it didn't work. She turned to the other chipmunks. "God, she's so much like Alvin and Brittany."

"You guys, Melody hasn't been away from her parents this long. She misses Alvin and Brittany." Said Claire, who was in the kitchen.

"Well, they better come home soon!" Said Theodore.

As if it was on cue, the door opened, and in walked Dave, Alvin and Brittany.

Claire walked into the living room to greet the three. "Hey you two, you're back! How was the inter-"

"Brittany, Alvin! Thank god!" Eleanor said, accidentally interrupting Claire. She ran over to them and handed the baby to Alvin. "She's been crying for more than an hour!"

Brittany took the baby out of Alvin's arms and cradled her. "Melody, it's okay. Mommy's back."

After, miraculously, after a minute, Melody quieted down. The other four chipmunks sighed in relief.

"Promise us you won't be away from Melody for more than an hour ever again! It's hard taking care of her when you two aren't around." Said Jeanette.

"Imagine what Claire will go through when we're at school." Said Theodore, getting laughs from everyone.

Claire smiled. "Oh, I'll find a way." Then she went ahead and asked the question again. "So, how was the interview?"

Brittany looked up. "Honestly, it wasn't that bad! I'm just glad that it's over."

Eleanor laughed. "Britt, you didn't snap or spazz, or anything, right?"

Alvin laughed. "That's what I said."

Brittany rolled her eyes. "Whatever." She looked down at her baby, who's big brown eyes were staring right back. Brittany touched Melody's nose. "But at least they now know about Melody. And one thing's for sure, nothing will hurt her now."
