Men, A Kid, And A Baby
Story by Daisy
~~*Chapter Nine*~~
“Lexy, Ally, wake up!” AJ opened the door to the guest bedroom where Lexy and Ally had been sleeping. It was their first break from touring and the girl’s first look at the house.
Lexy stirred and sat up, waking Ally. She rubbed at her eyes and AJ
smiled at the hair that stuck up wildly from her ponytail. Ally crawled to the
end of the full bed and held out her arms to him. He reached over and picked her
up patting her on the back.
“Get dressed, Lexy. We’re going shopping!”
“What?” She stepped out of the bed and walked over to him. He mussed
her hair and they began walking towards the kitchen.
“We’re gonna get you some new clothes and some stuff since you’ll
be staying here awhile.” Lexy nodded and took a sip of the orange juice that
he handed her. He sat down with Ally in his lap and brought a cup to her lips,
cupping his hand underneath her chin just in case she spilled.
They ate, got dressed, and headed for Kids R Us. He bought them clothes
galore. They went for shoes, socks, pajamas, hair things, and even underwear,
although AJ felt a little silly carrying underwear through the store. From there
they went to a furniture store and ordered nighttime delivery on a child bedroom
set. He bought a bunk bed with a desk attached to it and a dresser and a
nightstand.
They got home and situated themselves into their new room. Lexy and Ally
had never seen such a nice looking room. She turned to AJ and hugged his leg. He
reached down and rubbed her on the back.
“Thanks, AJ.” She whispered.
“You can call me Daddy.” He said hesitantly.
“Thanks, Daddy.”
