Tori's POV:
"Jade Elizabeth West. You are not a baby stop crying and get into the stroller please" I said sternly. I found Trina's old purple stroller in the basement.
Jade is having a tantrum outside my front door because she wants Beck who is with Cat right now. He has to work on Sunday and when he came back Cat had woken up from her nap and wanted to go with him so he took her with him to get food and car seats. Andre (who I'm still not talking to) was joining him. Beck teased that I wouldn't be able to handle Jade without him because she likes him more.
As soon as Jade realized Beck and Cat weren't here she burst into tears.
"I want my Daddy!" Jade cried jumping up and down. Her two pig tails bouncing I dressed her in hot pink shorts with white converse and a white shirt that read " Mommy's Little Princess" with a crown over it in hot pink.
"Oh stop crying you'll see him soon" I said trying to hold my temper when a middle aged couple walked by my house with their two well behaved boys in a twin stroller. They were older then Jade though
"Young parents these days" the mother whispered shaking her head at us.
"I think you should talk quieter if you don't want to get jumped my an angry teenager" I snapped as I lifted Jade into my arms and kissed her cheek. I rubbed her back and when her cries went down to the sniffles I closed the front door and pushed the stroller down the street. I'm taking her to the mall.
Some people gave me rude looks but I appreciated the people that smiled and said "So cute!"
"Jade can you be a good girl for Mommy and sit in your stroller now?" I asked. She nodded and I kissed her cheek "Thank you" I said as I stopped walking and put her in the stroller and strapped her in.
"Don't fall asleep" I said as we entered the mall
I stopped at Carter's first because I know I'll find clothes for Jade and Cat there. "Mommy can I get out?" Jade asked as I stopped near a rack for twenty-four months
"Not right now Jade" I said
"I wanna get out!" she whined messing with the straps wrapped around her shoulders.
"No Jade stop it. You want a snack?" I asked as I grabbed the lunch box in the cart behind her stroller and took out her My Little Pony sippy cup filled with apple juice and some of her mini oatmeal cookies which adult Jade hates.
"Thank you" Jade said after she wiped the tear that fell from her eyes away and took the treats form my hands.
"You're welcome" I said
"Here's a bag for your shopping Miss" a young lady in uniform said
"Thank you" I said before I took It and put yellow, pink, and purple dresses in the bag for Cat. I also got her shorts and more t-shirts and a pink overall dress. I also got her a yellow sweater with bear ears on it and a hot pink rain coat. I also got her pink rain boots.
I got Jade mostly different colored shorts and t-shirts and then about three dresses and two pairs of overall shorts and a purple overall dress. "Jade what color sweater do you want?" I asked her and took the empty plastic bag from her.
"The blue one" she said. I grabbed the blue sweater with firm bunny ears on top and tossed it in the bag with all the other clothes. "Okay and what color rain coat?" I asked showing a few to her before I picked up a purple pair of rain boots for her.
"Purple" she said I grabbed the purple rain with lavender cheetah print all over it and then headed to checkout after I got some nightgowns for the two of them.
I paid for everything with the emergency credit card.
"Where are we going now Mommy?" Jade asked
"Mommy's needs to get you and Cat a few things. Then we'll go to the toy store if you be a good girl and you stay in the stroller" I said
I went to Target to get baby gates that I knew Cat and Jade can't get over I also got a changing mat and a cot for Jade with net railings so she wouldn't roll on the floor like last night. I got Cat more diapers and Jade night pull-ups just in case. I got Jade a little My Little Pony backpack
I got a high chair that hooks onto the table for Cat and a booster seat for Jade. I'm tired of them seating on the island.
I noticed Jade starting to suck on her thumb which she's being doing a lot and I always correct it when she does it but she'll just put it back into her mouth. As we passed a row of blankets and stuffed animals. Jade is in need of some type of comfort item and so is Cat because I'm taking away that pacifier soon.
"Jade do want a pretty blanket?" I asked her as I pulled her thumb out her mouth
She shook her head "Look this has cheetah print" I said holding up a green blanket
"That one" Jade said pointing at a pink blanket with paper, glue, and scissors everywhere. I put it in the back of the stroller and I got Cat a stuffed pink unicorn.
I also got plates and cups. "Mommy I wanna walk please" Jade whined
"Jade I can't watch you and shop you may get lost" I said as we headed to the checkout line
Tears ran down Jade's cheeks as I paid for the items. And stuffed them all in the back of the stroller.
"Jade don't be sad you can get out at the toy store alright? Do you have to go potty? "
"Yes" she sniffed. I pushed Jade to the bathroom and went into the handicap stall and let Jade out. She did her business and then washed her hands.
I felt bad for leaving her in the stroller for so long and I remember the fits I had when I had to go in the stroller when I was her age.
"Come to Mommy" I said as I bent down to pick her up. I put her on my hip and as we left the Target and headed to a toy store. I put Jade down when we stopped at the art supplies section.
I noticed that Jade still had her crazy obsession with scissors. "Oh these ones are pretty Mommy!" Jade said holding a pair of very sharp pair of purple scissors.
"Jade what would you do with those?" I asked
"Hold them" she said
"No Jade you have to use them, now why don't you get some markers and stuff?" I asked
Jade's stubborn but she did pick out some model magic, markers, and paper. Then we got Cat a My Little Pony toy car that she could ride on. Jade didn't want one but I got her a Mickey Mouse one anyway.
Beck's POV:
"Come on Cat you have to eat" I said as I attempted to pull her pacifier out her mouth again. She shook her head away from me again.
"She's really attached to that thing" Andre said as he ate his BK meal.
"I'm just going to pull it out her mouth" I said as I grabbed her pacifier and this time I pulled it out her mouth. Cat bit down on the pacifier but I'm stronger and the moment the pacifier left her mouth she started screaming.
I swear all of the people in BK turned to us in shock. "Here Cat" I said handing her a french fry.
That potato shut her up so quick. I sighed in relief and ate my food after I put Cat in the high chair.
"So do you plan on apologizing to Tori today?" I asked Andre
"I would like to but she won't answer any of my text or calls-"
"You don't apologize in person? If I ever did that to Jade she'd probably chop me up with her scissors" I said
"We'll I want to apologize to her but I feel like that's not going to be enough for her. Maybe I should buy her more of that perfume she uses"
"Or you can apologize from the bottom of your heart" I said "I can tell she wants to make up with you. She was scrolling through pictures of you yesterday"
"Okay I will"
"My baba" Cat whined trying to reach her apple juice on the table. She finished most of her food.
"Magic word?" I said
"Please!" she said I gave it to her
"Okay let's go. She hates when I put her in the carrier so the bottle was a perfect distraction. Andre cleared our table while I pulled Cat out the high chair and put her in the carrier on my chest which I never took off my hips because it's a pain to put on.
Cat whined a little bit but she was already strapped in.
It only took us ten minutes to walk back to Tori's house. Jade and Tori weren't there though.
"Where's Mommy?" Cat asked as I pulled her out the carrier and put her on the couch.
"She's with Jade" I said
After I put the groceries away and then we watched some Mickey Mouse show and it really wasn't that bad. Tori came into the house with a stroller full of bags and a sleeping Jade on her hip.
Tori glared at Andre before she gave me Jade. "She was actually really good with me after her five minute tantrum for you" Tori said
"She had a tantrum for me? " I asked
"Yep and I had to mouth off another couple for judging" she said
"Tori can I speak to you please?" Andre asked
"No thank you" she said
"Come on you're not even doing anything" Andre said
"I'm holding my daughter" Tori said as she picked up Cat. Cat whined and tried to get out of Tori's arms "I'm watching mickey Mommy"
"Fine" Tori said and followed Andre out the room and upstairs after she placed Cat back on the couch.
Tori's POV:
"I'm sorry. I didn't tell you this but I was mainly pissed that day because my grandma broke my television when she saw her reflection on it while she was cleaning my room" Andre said running his fingers through his hair
"That's not a good excuse Andre" I said
"I know I know but Tori I don't feel that I need you for sex. I'm sorry for making you feel that way" he said
"Thank you for apologizing. I guess I forgive you" I said smiling as Andre wrapped his arms around my waist and backed me up against my wall. I laughed and jumped into his arms wrapping my legs around his waist before our lips met.
"Tori I'm making chicken pot pi-oh sorry!" Beck said before he ran out the room
"Can I take you out on a date after school?" Andre asked as he put me down
"If we can find someone to help Beck watch the Jade and Beck and if Beck is okay with it" I said
"Okay then" he said before he kissed my lips
After Andre left I put Jade's cot together while Beck gave the girls a bath, the chicken pot pie was in the oven. Cat's new high chair was hooked to the island that was easy to put together. By the time I finished putting it together Beck was coming down with the girls both of them wrapped in towels.
Cat was crying "Daddy spanked me!" she cried
"You threw water in Daddy's face and Jade's" Beck said as he laid her down on the counter. "Ah ah I bought a changing mat for that no more bare asses on my island" I said as I grabbed the changing mat form the shopping bag by the door.
Jade walked over to me and sat down on the carpet while I laid out the mat. "Jade let Cat go first she needs to go to timeout" Beck said as he laid Cat down on the mat before she sat in front of the mat.
I picked up Jade. "Let's get you some pajamas" I said and kissed her cheek. Jade took her towel off while I got out her new pajamas. It was a sleeveless t-shirt with a bowl of cereal on it and the shorts had cereal all over them and the background color was orange matching the t-shirt.
I put panties on Jade before I dressed her. I put her wet black hair up in a bun and then put her on my hip. Beck dressed Cat in the same pajamas as Jade before he put her in the corner. She was still crying.
"No stop sucking your fingers we talked about that" I said as I removed Jade's fingers from her mouth. Jade smacked my hand away and continued with a whine.
"You want to go to timeout too?" I asked
"No!" Jade yelled "Then get your fingers out of your mouth" I said sternly before I sat her down at her booster seat at the table
The chicken pot pie was still cooling on the counter.
"Cat you were put in timeout because you threw water on Jade and I" Beck said as he picked up Cat
"Sorry Daddy" she said
"Thank you now lets have some dinner" Beck said as he began to put Cat in her high chair.
I caught Jade disobeying me again with her fingers in her mouth. "Jade Elizabeth I said stop" I said as I tied Cat's hair up into a bun.
"You can't tell me what to do" Jade snapped
"Oh really? I already gave you a warning so you can go to timeout now young lady" I said
"No" Jade said
"Yes are you going to make me drag you there like a baby?" I asked
"I wanna eat" Jade whined
"You can eat when your finished now go to the corner" I said
Jade rolled her eyes at me and left the table.
There was a knock at the door and this time I checked the peep whole and sure enough it was that bitch that turned Jade and Cat into toddlers.
I opened the door and dragged her in. "Change them back!" I yelled
"Oh I see you two have become very comfortable as parents. Why is she always in the corner?" she asked pointing at Jade who was crying now with her back on me
"May you please change them back?" I asked
She ignored me "You even bought them things aww. Isn't she cute!" she said before she tapped Cat on the nose while ate her food.
Cat screamed "Monster!" she cried
I laughed and Beck joined me "Excuse me? You know what maybe they'll stay like this a bit longer I don't think you two have learned your lesson quite yet" she said
"Please! It's not fair to them!" I said
"To them or to you? They seem fine to me" she said
"They are not fine! Change them!" I cried
"See you in a week or two! Behave!" she said before she left
Beck called Jade back to the table so she could eat.
After dinner Beck took Jade's cot upstairs and I introduced Cat's comfort item to her. Jade was counting the scissors on her blanket.
"I wan my paci" she said as I handed her the unicorn before I picked her up
"You're a big girl now you don't need the paci. Your unicorn came to keep you company instead" I said
"No! I wan my paci!" Cat cried
"Your paci went bye bye" I said "Come on Jade its time for bed" I said as she jumped down from her booster seat and took my head. Cat started crying when I handed her to Beck and he laid her down in her playpen.
"Paci!" Cat cried "You're a big girl now" Beck said as he leaned down to kiss her cheek
"Goodnight Jade" I said before I kissed her cheek
"Night night" she said
Cat wouldn't stop crying so Beck rocked her until she fell asleep then put her back in the play pen. By then Jade had fallen asleep and we could finally go to bed.
"You what's weird? I think I'm starting to love them as a parent" Beck said
"I was thinking the same thing" I said
THE NEXT MORNING:
(Thank you selbel143 for giving me the idea to write this chapter!)
Beck's POV:
Today Tori and I have school and we are not leaving early today. So Tori called her grandmother ( I know in Victorious Tori told Jade her grandmother passed away but I'm changing it in my story) and she said she would watch Cat because Cat has been better behaved lately so we didn't ask her about Jade as well.
Tori's grandmother lives thirty minutes away so we had to wake Jade and Cat up at six o clock in the morning. Jade wasn't happy about that.
"Come on lets get you dressed" I said as I picked up a grumpy Jade and made her stand. Tori was dressing Cat who was now crying for her pacifier back. I crouched down in front of Jade with her clothes that Tori set up last night.
Jade took her pajama shirt off and I slipped her lavender t-shirt on her then her purple overall dress. Jade put her panties on by herself and she put on her white socks.
"Beck its pouring outside I bought them rain boots at Carter's. Oh Jade's match her outfit!" Tori said as she stood up with Cat on her hip. Cat was wearing a light pink long sleeve ruffle dress her hair was in two french braids.
Jade put her rain boots on and I took Cat from Tori. "What's wrong?" I asked
"I w-want my p-paci!" she cried
"You can have it again at naptime…or maybe in the car" I whispered that last part as I took her downstairs and put her in her high chair before giving her and Jade some cereal.
"Jade your going to school with me and Daddy are you going to be a good girl?" I asked Tori brushed Jade's hair and left it down.
Jade nodded "And you can't call us Mommy and Daddy there you can call us our real name" I said
"Beck and Tori" Jade said
"Good job I didn't know you knew that" Tori said
After they ate Jade threw on her rain coat after she brushed her teeth and took her outside to play in the rain a little bit after I put on my black rain coat and grabbed my black backpack.
Jade screamed in delight as she jumped in the puddles and I buckled the car seats in "Look Daddy!" Jade said before she jumped in a large puddle
"Oh wow" I said as she kept on jumping
Tori came outside with her light blue rain coat on and her backpack was on her back and in one hand she was holding Cat's diaper bag and Jade's little backpack in on hand and Cat in the other. Cat was now quiet because she had her pink pacifier in her mouth. I smirked and helped Tori with the bags.
"And you said I would give in first" I said "Jade come on you can play in the puddles later" I said
Jade came over to the car and I put her in her car seat and strapped her in. Tori strapped Cat in before she got into the drivers seat.
Jade fell asleep by the time we got to Tori's grandmother's Cat waved to me as Tori picked her up and inside holding the diaper bag in one hand and Cat in the other.
When we got to school Jade was still fast asleep I held her in my arms as we all headed to first period class which is Schowitz's drama class. We actually have a production coming up it's a musical version of Bonnie and Cylde Robbie's Cylde and Jade is Bonnie but because she's absent Tori's filling in for her.
"Why did you bring her here?" Robbie asked
"We didn't have a choice" Tori said
"Beck I'm not going to ask why that baby is in your arms but when you act you're going to have to put her down and keep her quiet" Schowitz said
I nodded.
Jade woke up at the end of class and I gave her my phone after I put on running with friends. "I have English next I don't think I can bring her there" Tori said as she opened her locker
Jade was leaning against the locker under me playing on my phone. "She can go to theatre tech with me" I said
"Okay and then I'll bring her to hip hop with me" Tori said
"Great" I said as I picked up Jade after I put my backpack in my locker and took my notebook and pencil case with me.
All the girls in theatre tech were all over Jade. "Oh my gosh she is so adorable!" one girl said
Jade laid her head on my shoulder. "This is my cousin Jade" I lied as I sat Jade in a chair beside me.
"Hi" Jade said
"Hi I'm Catlin how old are you?" Catlin asked
Jade put up three fingers.
In the middle of class Jade began to whine "This is boring" she said
"Shhh here you want this?" I asked as I opened her backpack and handed her a plastic bag filled with vanilla crackers.
Jade ate those and kept quiet with my phone for the rest of class.
She's being really good. I hope Cat is being good with Tori's grandmother
Tori's Grandmother's POV:
Cat had a huge tantrum when Tori left but as soon as I turned on Sesame Street and gave her a sippy cup of apple juice she calmed down. I pulled out a few of Trina and Tori's old toys for her. I'm only sixty-eight this is nothing I can't handle
Cat was pulling different toys out the toy box. "A puppy" Cat said showing me a stuffed Puppy
"Yes a puppy. Can you be a good girl and play here while Nana makes lunch?" I asked
Cat nodded and I kissed her forehead before I headed to the kitchen. I made a cheddar cheese sauce and poured it over some penne pasta I cooked. As I mixed them together I called Cat.
"Cat its lunch time" I said. I put our food on plates and then went back to the living room.
While Cat was playing with the toys her back to me I lifted her dress and checked her diaper. "Why didn't you tell Nana you needed a change?" I asked
Cat didn't answer me but she tried to jump out my arms when I picked her up. "Oh I will never understand why toddlers would choose playing in a diaper full of crap over getting their diaper changed" I said as Cat began to cry. She reminds me so much of Tori when she was younger.
I grabbed the diaper bag with my free hand and laid out the changing mat on the couch before I laid Cat down on it. "I wan up!" Cat cried as I held her down
"Shhh look Elmo's about to sing!" I said pointing to the television. As soon as Cat focused on the television I pulled up her dress and untapped her diaper and opened it.
I wiped her down after I folded her diaper. I got up only to throw the diaper in the trash and to my surprise Cat was still watching the television. I slid a new diaper under Cat and applied baby powder before I tapped up the diaper. "Okay lets have some lunch" I said as I brought her to the kitchen and because she couldn't reach the table from a chair I sat her down on the table.
By the time she finished eating she was covered in cheese. I wiped her face and hands before I boiled up some hot water and took her cold bottle out of the fridge.
"You're getting to be to big for these bottles" I said as I opened her bottle and poured the milk in one of Tori's older nuk training bottles. The spout was similar to a sippy cups but it was soft rubber like a bottles. I threw the other bottle away.
"Baba" Cat whined rubbing her eyes
I picked her up "It's warming up sweetie" I said and kissed her cheek. Cat wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. I rubbed her back and hummed to her until her milk was warm.
I grabbed her bottle and took her to the living room where I set up a cot for her. I laid her down and covered her in the sheets before I gave her the new bottle.
"See its not that different right?" I asked as I rubbed her stomach. About three minutes later Cat was fast asleep without the pacifier.
Tori's POV:
Jade had a bit of a tantrum during hip hop and I had to take her outside.
I gave her a hug as she cried. "What's the matter you were being so good" I said
"I went potty!" she cried
I broke our hug and lifted her dress and her panties were soaked. "Oh no why didn't you tell Mommy you had to go to the bathroom?" I asked
"You're teacher said be quiet" Jade sniffed
"He was talking to everyone else not you" I said before I kissed her cheek. "Come on Mommy has a spare pair of panties for you" I said as I stood up and took her hand.
I lead her to my locker and grabbed my backpack before I took her to the bathroom. I locked our stall and dropped my bag before I pulled Jade's dress off. There was a small wet stain in the back but it should be dry by lunch time.
"Don't be sad" I said as I took off her panties and wiped her off.
"Daddy" Jade whined as I put new panties her and then put her new dress on.
"You'll see Daddy soon" I said before I picked her up. I adjusted her to my hip before I grabbed my backpack and went back to class. Jade played on my phone and watched me perform "All I Want Is Everything"
Beck found us during lunch. I got Jade a mini pizza and some french fries. "Hi Jade are you being a big girl?" he asked
Jade nodded as she ate. I got a call from my grandmother "Hi Tori how's school doing?" she asked
"Good how's Cat?"
"Oh she's still sleeping. She's being good she stopped crying as soon as I turned the T.V. on" she said
"That's good" I said
"I'm going to take her to the park later" she said There was some crying in the background "You're okay Cat come here you wanna talk to Mommy?"
"M-mommy?" Cat sniffed
"Hi Cat what're you crying about did you not have a good nap?" I asked "Mommy misses you"
"I miss you" she said
"Be a good girl for Nana okay? You'll see Mommy and Daddy soon" I said "I love you" I said
"Love you" Cat said before I hung up
"How's she doing?" Beck asked as he put Jade on his lap
"Good she misses us" I said before I bit into my pizza
"How are we going to lay her down for her nap?" Beck asked
"I don't need a nap!" Jade said
"Yes you do your you'll be a grouch all day" I said
"I'll walk around with her for a little while and she'll fall asleep" Beck said. I nodded and Jade pouted
"I don't wanna take a nap!" Jade snapped
"Well you are going to take one Jade. Go with Daddy" I said as I got up and threw out our plates
Beck picked up Jade into his arms and Jade began to cry. "No!" she cried
Beck ignored her cries and left campus. He's probably just going to take her around the block.
Andre and Robbie met up with me "Hey" he said before he pecked me on the lips
"Where's Beck and Jade?" Robbie asked
"Oh Beck is trying to get Jade to go down for her nap" I said "The witch came back yesterday and she has no intention of turning them back anytime soon" I said
"Did you offer her anything?" Andre asked
"No because I didn't think of that its been a good few days and I want my life back. I want my friends back" I said
