2682 Words
SEAN'S POV I woke up in the chair to Skylar crying at 12:40am. "Oh baby are you hungry?" I say picking Skylar up. I couldn't believe I fell asleep. I get Skylar bottle sorted and feed her. Afterwards I wind Skylar but she is restless crying. I change her bum, try more bottle even sing nursery ryhmes but nothing is working. I walk around the front room hoping it will help but Skylar seems to have a set of lungs on her. "What's wrong? why didn't you wake me?" Summer asks as she walk in taking Skylar from me. "Sorry after the last feed, I planned to bring Skylar up after a hour so we didn't wake you, but I fell asleep in the chair. Then when Skylar woke up I figured I'd feed her and when she was asleep I was going to bring her back up to you but she is unsettled." I say. " This is what she was like when I couldn't settle her this morning, least its not just me" Summer says. "I can see how useless you felt now, it's hard not knowing what's wrong or what to do" I say. "Yeah, didn't the midwife say it was colic so that means maybe a tummy ache or more trapped wind" Summer says patting Skylars back while walking around with her. "Yeah that's what they said she had the drops in the bottle though" I say. "I didn't say you didn't give them, I'm just saying what the issue is likely to be." Summer says. Then Skylar throws up all over Summers shoulder. "Here" I say cleaning Skylars face with the muzzy. after enougher few minutes Skylar settles down and goes to sleep in Summers arms. "How come you stayed so late?" Summer asks. "Oh I forgot to tell you, I will be sleeping on the sofa until yours and Skylars medicine starts to work" I say. "What you can't decide that without asking me! It's my house!" Summer says angrily "I asked your dad, he agreed with my idea though" I says "I don't care, I brought this house its my home! For me to decide" Summer says taking Skylar with her out the room. "Where are you going?" asks Sean. "Does it matter where I to go in my own home? or is that choice being taken away from me to? Summer says through grit through my teeth. "Nothings being taken away from you" Sean says following me up the stairs. "Good so we are clear its my home therefore, where the hell do you think your going now!? Summer asks. " Im just making sure your okay carrying Skylar on the stairs" Sean says "Oh so you think I will drop her now! You think i will hurt my baby! Hmm??" Summer says "No, I never said that" Sean says "You don't need to! I know what you all really think" Summer says walking into her bedroom. "No you have it all wrong" says Sean walking in behind me. SUMMER POV "Well this doesn't look like the stairs, what now I'm not safe to be left alone with my baby?" I say while glaring daggers at Sean, daring him to tip me over the edge. "No Summer you have it all wrong just please hear me out." Sean says with pleading eyes. "Why the hell should I?" I say walking over to the crib laying Skylar into it. "Because the last thing I want to do is fall out with you! I swear on my life" Sean says. I ignore him and lay on the bed gently resting my hand onto Skylars tiny little body, it's like I can give Skylars a comforting hug this way. Plus I like to feel close to my baby. "Skylar, I promise I won't get in your way at all, I can just be close by incase you get overwhelmed and I can also be near by for Skylar while she adjust to her colic drops. Please just believe" Sean says taking a seat on the bed next to me. "Fine but once the doctor says I'm good your gone from staying over night, I don't want to live with you again" I say then decided I'd close my eyes to go to sleep. "Thankyou if your tired go to sleep, I can get up to Skylar when she wakes up also" Sean says I don't even answer I'm still to mad, after 10 minutes I'm not sure why Sean is still sat there and I'm fed up with arguing that I just pretend to be asleep ignoring his stupid ass. But a few minutes later after thinking about everything that's happened the past few days I feel silent tears slipping down my face, but my emotions are mixed. There's pure joy that I've created such a beautiful baby girl and finally can hold her In my arms, but then there was the guilt of feeling not good enough for Skylar and pure sadness at not having the family unit I wanted Skylar to have. I hated feeling all these mixed emotions and the fact I kept crying dispite not wanting to cry. Bloody hormones I think to myself as the tears keep falling. SEAN POV I knew Summer was angry and upset, so I decided to sit next to her on the bed until I knew she was peacefully asleep, but after a while I could see she was crying. I brought Summer into my embrace to just hold her until she stopped crying. "Shh, I'm here don't worry I'm not going anywhere, let it out" I say before placing a kiss on summers forehead. Summer stopped crying after a few minutes. "Summer tell me what to do so I can your happy again" I whisper. "I don't know, but since you insist on staying you can help with the night feeds as well" she says quietly. "I'd love to, now let's get some sleep" I say running my fingers gently up and down summers back, knowing how it calms her down and relaxes her even when summer is angry at me she always can't resist it when i do this. Its so cute because she will be really angry then instantly calm and falls asleep. But come morning she remembers she is angry at me in the past I'd have to do my own breakfast and I'd get the silent treatment. I always chuckled to myself about this little quirk of Summers. Just like all the times before summer fell asleep quickly. I soon fell asleep afterwards to holding Summer close to me. The rest of the night when by well, me and Summer tackled the night feeds together like a little team. It's now 8:50am and Skylar is starting to stir. I try to wake myself up a little before opening my eyes. I feel Summer place a hand on my chest. "Sean are you awake?" She whispers. I wrap a arm around summer and bring her to lay next to me. "Yes, Skylar is waking up also I can't tell but we still still have a few minutes I think" I say. "About that I thought you could stay in bed for a few hours while I see to Summer downstairs. I can look after her this morning and then you can look after her this afternoon" Summer says. "It's okay, I'm awake I can get up and help" I say opening my eyes. She looks at me biting her lips thinking. "What's wrong?" I ask. "It's just that I want a hour or two to myself this afternoon. I've planned some thinking and I won't be able to hold Skylar until afterwards, so I thought I'd do this morning you do the afternoon, that way you get a few hours to catch up on sleep or something" she says. "It's alright, I still want to get up and help. Don't worry take as long as you want this afternoon just have fun. Do you need ti driving anywhere?" I ask. "No I'm Only heading to the back garden" she says laughing "Oh, sorry I thought you were off out out for a hour or two" I say. "No but I'm gonna get messy, but don't tell my mum she will have a fit if she finds out beforehand, but it's my home my garden I can destroy it how I like" Summer says. "Hmm, I won't tell your mum if you tell me what your planning" I say. "All I'm saying is it involves paint and nothing more" Summer says. "Okay I look forward to this as it sounds interesting so I won't tell your mum" I say "Thanks" Summer says then sits up to get Skylar as she started to cry waking up. "Come on lil princess let's get ready for the day shall we" Summer says to Skylar. "Summer, I will go prepare the bottle do you want a cuppa of tea?" I say getting out of bed. "Yes please" Summer says. We walk down the stairs together. "Here you go sweetie, I heard you getting up so I got the bottle ready" Kenny says to summer. "Thanks dad" summer says. "Now the kettle is on and your mum is starting to cook us all breakfast, you two go sit down" Kenny says. "I don't mind making the drinks" I say. "It's alright" Kenny says. KNOCK KNOCK "Actually Sean could you grab the door instead please?" Summer says walking into the front room with Skylar. "Of course" I say heading to the door to find Lisa is on the doorstep crying. "What's wrong?" I say hugging my sister. "Simon dumped my via text on my way to college Where's Summer?" she says. "In the front room with Skylar come on" I say walking in with Lisa. "What's wrong Lisa?" Summer asks as soon as she sees Lisa walking in crying. "Simon dumped her via text this morning" I say. "Can I stay here with you this morning? I don't feel like facing him today" Lisa says through sobs. "You can stay the whole day, I already planned something this afternoon fun for me to do, and it seems it will be perfect for you also" Summer says. "What's that?" Lisa asks. "Your soon see come sit next to me, you can help me with Skylar" Summer says smiling at Lisa. "Thanks" Lisa says going to sit next to Summer. "Don't worry, men are fools you deserve so much better" Summer says handing Skylar over to Lisa so she can continue feeding her. Kenny then comes in with drinks for me and Summer. "Hi Lisa are you okay?" Kenny asks. "Some fool dumped her via text this morning" I say "Ooo" Kenny says with a wide eyes. "Yeah but it's okay dad, that plan this afternoon Lisa will be joining us now" Summer says. "Okay well I will go collect the things after breakfast." Kenny says. "Lisa would you like a hot chocolate and some breakfast?" Kenny says "I already had breakfast but I wouldn't say no to a hot chocolate" Lisa says "Let me help you" I say to Kenny walking out the room with him. "How was summer during the night?" sandy asks when I reach the kitchen. "A little upset early hours of the morning but that's because she discovered I'm staying until the medication kicks in, otherwise she was fine even managed to settle Skylar when I couldn't last night." I say. "That's good, that she managed to settle Skylar it will help her feel better as a new mother" Sandy says. "I hope so, I hate seeing Summer so upset" I say followed by a sigh "Who knocked the door?" sandy asks "Oh that's Lisa boy trouble love" Kenny says as I make the got chocolate. SUMMER POV "Lisa tell me now your brother is gone what happened?" I say. "He says he likes the blonde Sl*t in my class at college, so was ending it so he could stand a chance with her. Literally she has had 3 boyfriends in the past 9 months and cheated on one of them. How is she better than me" Lisa says then starts to cry again "She isn't better just easy to get into bed and unloyal like you. You deserve someone who isn't just after wanting to get laid who truely loves you Lisa." I say. "I'm sorry for showing up, but I knew you would understand how I feel after what my brother did to you. I know, I haven't had it as bad as you but it still hurts I really love Simon" says Lisa. "No it doesn't matter if mine was worse or not when you love someone the pain is just as deep no matter the situation, trust me I know that much." I say. "When will it stop hurting? Will I ever stop loving him?" Lisa asks. "I wish I knew them answers myself it's partly why I keep getting so upset these past few days" I say starting to cry myself. "I'm sorry, I didn't realise you still loved my brother, I thought you just hated him now" Lisa says. "Well its one of those things where you and hate someone at the same time" I say whipping my tears away. "You still love me?" Sean says "No" I say angry. "It's okay, I love you to" Sean says smiling "Sean don't go feeling proud about this you, shouldn't be proud at all she still hates you as well" Lisa says angry at Sean. "I know, but I'm not getting into it with you Lisa here have your hot chocolate and give me Skylar so I can wind her" Sean says. "Why are you taking Skylar?" I say annoyed "Because your crying, now you can either hug it out together or I will have to hug you both" Sean says. "Here we go breakfast" my mum says walking in with two fry ups. "Thanks mum" I say trying to get these damn tears undercontrol. "Why are you crying for girls?" My mum asks "Men are horrible" Lisa say "Well never mind the idiots, no point in crying over idiots" my mum says winking at us both. Lisa laughs "That's true" I say before looking at Sean with a cold hard stare "I didn't dump Lisa" Sean says "No but you fall under the same category logically speaking" I say "She is right" Lisa says "Hey your ment to be my sister" Sean says "Us women have to stick together against the idiots though, sorry brother" Lisa says smiling. I just eat my breakfast while Sean and Lisa bicker it out, but I know Sean is just distracting Lisa from her heartbreak. As I'm about to finish the door goes again. "It's okay I will get it" Lisa says jumping up. We hear lisa screaming when the door opens. I jump up hurting my stitches worried as Sean stands up saying take Skylar I will go. "It's really you?" Lisa yells Skylar starts crying "Pumpkin why are you here?" I hear Ryan's voice "Ahh my king" I shout "Where's my Queen?" I hear him call out as I rush to the door. "Look at that! My two favourite girls are here" Ryan says pulling me into the hug to join him and Lisa. Lisa is crying again, I'm not sure if there happy tears this time though. "How come your here?" I ask. "Luke made me come to help you outta your postnatal depression, he practically threw me on the plane" Ryan says laughing. "What! You got postnatal depression and allowed me to cry on your shoulder without telling me your suffering?" Lisa says through tears. "Why are you upset baby sis?" Ryan asks "Simon dumped her" I say. "What are with all these men messing with my two girls, looks like I got here just in time to see you both through these days" Ryan says realising us from the group hug.
