[time lapse's make me happy apparently]

The small girl yawned awake, spreading her arms wide trying not to open her eyes because her dream was so good. She had a dream that she was on tour with Adrienne and All Time Low covering stories for her magazine. She hit her hand on a wall and got really confused and opened up to see herself in a small cramped space. Instant panic mode ran through her as she sat up quickly, trying to stand but hitting her head really hard, crying out a ow. She opened the door and saw a bunk turned into a crib with no baby. This made her heart sink and she turned instantly sick.

Then, she heard her babies laughter. Grabbing a nerf sword from the bunk, she slowly walked out of the bunk area, ready to beat someone up with the sword to grab her baby back before she saw Alex, shirtless with bedhead, playing and trying to feed Adrienne. "I thought this was a dream...." she stated, looking down at how she was only wearing his shirt and her thong, she blushed bright pink. "This is a little bit embarrassing...." she said, laughing awkwardly.

Alex chuckled, giving Adrianne some more baby cereal. "Mommy's silly," he cooed, playfully tickling the baby's tummy and grinning when she erupted into a fit of giggles. He turned his attention back to Tatum. "Babe, go put some pants on. Jack wakes up and sees you walking around here half naked, he'd probably explode." Alex said, ducking when Adrianne threw the spoon. "You didn't get me this time!" He said, tickling her sides still. Alex grabbed the baby out of her chair. He quickly wiped her face before putting her in her baby swing, laying down on the bunk couch.

He smiled when he saw Tatum come back out. "Hey there, beautiufl." He said, patting his leg. "Come sit." When Tatum finally did si, Alex leaned up to kiss her head. "Miss thing woke me up this morning at about six, so I decided to let you rest, and me and Adri wanted some daddy daughter time." Alex said. He loved this whole father thing, to be honest. There was nothing else he;d rather be doing.

She laughed, blushing even harder before going in her bag and grabbing a pair of her "get low" booty shorts and put those on before walking out. She walked back out and saw the baby try and throw food at Alex, who quickly ducked. She giggled softly at the two, loving how they were. She quickly snuck her Iphone out and took a picture for instagram. I'm no Elmakis, but I know a cute photo when I see one. #daddyandbaby #lovethem #myworld. She grabbed a water from the fridge and took a sip, leaning on the counter admiring them. She loved waking up this way.

She smile, straddling his lap in the booth before wrapping her hands around his neck. "That's single-handedly the sweetest thing you've done for me." she said, giggling and playing with his hair as she looked back and saw Adri in her swing happy. Tatum kissed his forehead before sitting down on the side of him before anyone else woke. "So, do you guys have a show tonight?" she asked, resting her head on his shoulder.

Alex slung his arms around Tatum, a soft smile on his face. "Nope, not tonight. We're off, but then we play in Detroit tomorrow." He said, leaning up to give Tatum a kiss. He looked back over at the baby, who's hands were in her mouth. "Come on, lady," he giggled, handing her a teething ring. "I'm surprised we're not drowning in drool yet." He teased, playing with Tatum's hair. "Did you know that you're beautiful?" Alex sang cheesily, chuckling at the sound of his 'terrible' singing voice. Alex flicke don the booth tv, enjoying the silence before everyone woke up.

Alex chuckled when he noticed Adrianne start getting fussy. "Oh, what's wrong princess?" He cooed, getting the baby out of her seat. "Do you wanna cuddle with mumsy and dadsy?" Alex asked, tickling her sides. "Well excuuuuuuuse me for not paying attention to princess over here!" Alex kissed the baby's tummy, smiling brightly when she giggled loudly.

"Just you wait. By the end of the day you will be. She will drool all over everything you love,or important work papers that are due in like an hour." she said, blowing a kiss at Adri while she picked fun at how much she drooled. The doctors told her it was normal, but like Alex said, you could drown in it. She grinned up at Alex's as he played with her hair and sang she was beautiful, red creeping on her cheeks as he spoke. Even through high school, she could never make the butterflies go away. "And you're very handsome." she said, watching some tv.

She laughed as he gave he attention and she stopped fussing. "Oh my lanta she is just like you, huh?!" she said, nudging him in the side, kissing her babygirl on the cheek. "Who is just like daddy?" she asked in a baby voice before tickling her h=tummy to get her to giggle. "You are!"

Alex beamed proudly as Adrianne erupted into giggles. "Hey!" He pouted, puffing out her bottom lip. "We just know we're so cute and adorable, we deserve all of the attention in the world!" Alex said, holding Adri. "Isn't that true, baby girl? Yes it is. Because we're perfect." Alex cooed, kissing her cheeks repeatedly. He looked over at Tatum when Adrianne curled up on his chest. "I could just kiss her cheeks all day. They're so chubby and round and perfect." Alex gushed, hugging his baby girl gently.

"What about kissing cheeks?" Jack asked as he appeared. Alex rolled his eyes as he looked at his best friend. "Have fun skyping with Rose last night?" Alex asked, rubbing the baby's back. Jack nodded his head. "She and baby B say hello. And Tate, Rose wanted me to ask you about some of those pregnancy books? She wanted to borrow them from you."

Tatum was watching them, laughing as Adrianne just easily accepted that he was her father, even though she probably saw him a handful of times before it. She was happy Alex was finally doing things to be a dad and not just some guy that gives money on special occasions and sees her maybe a month out of the year. "What do you think I did with my entire maternity leave? I can't even think about when we go home and not being able to see her for a few hours." She said, pushing back the fine hair of the baby in front of them. She knew that it was the least amount of time, but she had been always around her for the first months of the babies life, so just randomly letting her in the care of someone else was going to be hard for her.

"Oh! I actually have them on me right now, lemme go grab 'em!" She said, jumping up from the booth and digging through her bag, pulling out a couple of books and bringing them out into the lounge and putting them on the table. "Just warn her not to take everything they say too seriously, because as soon as the baby coughs, you might call the doctor crying she has a punctured lung..." Tatum laughed, remembering one of her first nights alone with with Adrianne. She flipped through a few pages and a picture fell out. She bent down and looked at it, it was Tatum and all of All Time Low and half of warped tour, popping champagne in the middle of Warped Tour. "I remember this picture like it was yesterday, Jack's birthday, it was also the day I had to come out because people found it weird I wasn't drinking during Warped..." She said, laughing, showing Jack and Alex the picture.

Alex rubbed the baby's back as he looked at the picture. "Look, Adri!" He cooed, still nuzzling her. "Momma was a party girl! You ever party like that and daddy will ground you to the next century. Guys in bands are nothing but trouble." He said, chuckling when he realized that Adrianne wasn't paying attention. "Typical woman," he teased, still rubbing her back. Alex patted the spot on the couch next to him and waited for Tatum to sit with him. "So, since we have the day off today, do you wanna go out to dinner? Jack Attack can watch Princess."

Jack perked up at the sound of his name. "Oh, yeah! We'll play xbox and I'll teach her how to plot pranks with me." He said, cackling maniacally. Alex rolled his eyes. "Okay. so maybe we won't have him babysit. Matt could, he's responsible. We haven't had us time since... ever! We always have these guys around." Alex nuzzled Tatum's neck, giving her a kiss. "And then we can cuddle afterwards and watch movies with our baby."

Tatum pushed Alex softly before giving him a look. "Coming from daddy who legit wrote a song about beer." She said, laughing as he mentioned the guys in bands. "Hey now, some aren't trouble. They just don't know how to keep things wrapped when he's piss drunk and mad at his girlfriend." She said with a wink before sitting down next to him and resting her body against Alex as she took Adri into her arms and rested her on her stomach. She then decided that was her favorite position ever, as a Tatum sandwich.

She laughed as Alex tried pleading his case and as Jack tried stepping up. "I trust Jack for some odd reason. Plus he needs to learn how to take care of a baby." She said, defending Jack as he picked up the baby and started rocking her, causing Tatum to pout as Adri enjoyed the arms of her uncle before turning around to Alex and pressing a soft kiss on his nose. "I'd love to go out to dinner, 'Lex." She said with a small smile, hearing Adri laugh in the background. "Like i'd ever say no to you." she winked before snuggling back into him.

@cassadee blake.

I have a thing against tagging apparently.

Alex smiled softly as he watched Jack interact with Adri. "He's gonna be a good dad," he whispered, rubbing Tatum's small back. He smirked and squeezed her butt, looking away innocently. "The Butt Squeezing fairy has visited you!" Alex teased, pressing a kiss to Tatum's neck. "If she's asleep, you can lay her in her little swing right there." He pointed to the baby swing at the end of the little couch area. "Just flick on the little switch, and it'll rock her." Alex said, smiling at how he sounded like such a dad. Jack nodded and put the baby in the swing before mumbling something about playing xbox.

After a few minutes, Tatum and Alex were alone again. "She's so peaceful," he whispered as he looked at the baby. "I could just watch her sleep all day long, you know?" Alex said. He looked over at Tatum, debating on whether or not he should ask the question he'd been dying to since he had broken up with Lisa. But he decided not to, figuring out it would be better to ask her tonight.

Tatum watched Jack with her child, scared at first but getting use to it. As Alex whispered in her ear, she had her IPhone out, snapping a picture of him just as Alex squeezed her butt, making her jump and glare at the boy. "Really, Gaskank?! We're going to start this?" she asked, laughing as she laid back against him, slipping her phone onto the table before grabbing his arms and interlacing their fingers together, watching Jack put the sleeping baby into the rocker. That was Tate's favorite thing of Adri's, because she could run around and clean and knew her baby would be safe and asleep.

She watched the swing swing back and fourth as Jack switched to the back lounge to play xbox. She knew this was how Adri's life was suppose to be, with her crazy mother and her wild father, in one room, with all her weird uncles. She watched the babies face as she slept, and sighed contently. She was definitely Alex's kid, there was no way anyone could deny it. She remembered the first day when she met him and Isobelle grabbed out his old baby pictures, Adri looked just like him. "You have shows to play, you can't watch her sleep all day." She said with a laugh, playing with his fingers. "But I get what you mean, going to work sucks especially knowing I won't be with her till later."

Alex nodded his head, sighing as he ran his hands over Tatum's back. "It really does suck, I get used to giving her kisses and blowing raspberries on her tummy and then I have to go play shows." He pouted. "I mean, I love both, but baby girl takes top priority, you know?" Alex said, snapping a picture of Adrianne. He posted the picture on instagram with the caption 'Look at my princess... I wonder what she's dreaming of.' He added a couple of heart emojis before posting the picture and looking back at Tatum. "If he don't go to Olive Garden tonight, I swear to God I'm leaving you." The singer teased, poking his girl in the side.

A soft sigh left Alex's lips as he turned his attention to the little tv, occasionally looking back at Adrianne. He couldn't wait to be back at home with Adrianne and Tatum, Baz and Pey just relaxing and enjoying life. He knew he;d have to go back on tour soon, but he'd feel so much better knowing his girls and dogs were waiting for him back home. A dreamy smile appeared on Alex's face. "I think we should follow Adri's lead and take a nap before dinner. Everyone will be up soon, we might as well enjoy the quiet."

Tatum smiled at Alex's words. "You really are glad that we came, huh?" she asked, happy on how awesome he was being about the whole situation. Maybe, just maybe, Adrianne would get the life Tatum always wanted for her: father, mother, Baz, Peyton, and Sherlock (her cat) all one big happy family. She felt her phone go off at the notification as she saw Alex's pic on instagram. She turned around and stuck her tongue out. "Wow, way to copy me, jerk." she laughed before playfully licking his cheek, giggling the entire time. "How can YOU leave ME? I am on YOUR tour bus and plus I'm mother of your kid. You can't leave me for at least 18 years, bitch, so suck it up." she laughed before poking his shoulder.

"Let me go tuck her in her crib and I'll meet you in the bunk?" she asked, standing up and giving him a kiss before picking up their baby and walking over to her make shift crib. She knew she was suppose to interview Zack and make a 'day in the life of' video, but she thought it could of waited until tomorrow. She knew her views on yesterday's video would make her boss happy for some time. When she was all settled she climbed into the bunk with Alex, laying against his body and giving him a kiss. "I love having strong arms to sleep in, again." she said, happily, laying on his chest.

Alex smiled softly and hugged Tatum tight, burying his face in her hair. "You're gonna need the jaws of life to keep me from snuggling with you." He whispered, smoothing Tatum's hair. He flicked on the baby monitor, smiling softly when he heard the sound of Adrianne's snores. After a second, Alex decided to just go for it. The worst that Tatum could say was no-- and he'd still be able to see his baby girl, so why not go for it? With a soft sigh, Alex sat up as best he could and turned to look at Tatum. "Tater tot," Alex spoke, poking her nose. He swallowed hard and decided to just force the question out.

"So, I was thinking...." He sighed. "Maybe, once this tour is over... and since we're back together and all... I could move in with you and the baby?" Alex asked hopefully, leaning down to kiss her. "I think it would be beneficial to Adri if she had both parents living with her. Aaaaaand I kinda wanna spend every moment that I'm not touring or in the studio with you." He grinned.

Tatum laughed, molding into Alex with ease, almost if she was born just to cuddle him all day. She heard Adri snoring on the monitor and giggled softly "She sounds like you, babe!" She closed her eyes while tracing circles into his arm. She was so content and nothing could ruin this for her. Unless he randomly came out that he was going to leave her again for Lisa, but not to sound cocky, she didn't think he would be leaving her any time soon. When he sat up, she groaned. "What the hell, Alex, I thought we were gonna need the jaws of life to make you stop snuggling?" she said, giggling falling into this weird curled position where she was laying in his lap looking up at him.

She saw his nerves starting to creep out and she was confused for about two seconds before she heard his question. Her eyes got big for a second in shock. "Alex, you know I would love that." she said excitedly, leaning up to kiss him. She was grinning from ear to ear as she looked back up into his chocolate orbs. "Jack's not going to mind you moving out?" she asked, running a hand along his leg, thinking about just moving him in. "Oh and maybe we can look around for other places after a bit? My apartment is kind of cramped with just me and the baby. We could find something with a playroom for the baby, an office, an awesome basement for studio work." she said, ranting before giggling. "As you can tell, I am REALLY excited."

Alex grinned, hugging Tatum tight. "So I'm guessing that's a yes?" He teased, leaning down to kiss her. "Jack and I had talked about it, and we both agree that it would be best for both of us. He and Rose are engaged and the baby will be here in a few months. And you and I are back together, and pumpkin is growing more and more every day." He said softly. "We are gonna miss palling around like twelve year olds, but being with our families is a billion times more important." Alex smiled softly as he listened to Tatum ramble. "We can get a house. Our own little house, with a room for baby girl, and another room if we ever have another child or Jack and Rose decide to let our God Child stay over." Alex beamed. "It'll be great babe." He hugged her tight and kissed her temple before settling down.

He had just barely fallen asleep when Adrianne could be heard starting to scream. Poor pumpkin, she must be cutting another tooth. With a soft sigh, Alex kissed Tatum. "I'll get her." He headed across the hall and opened the baby's curtain. "Hey there, princess Adri." Alex cooed, kissing the baby's cheeks. "Does your toofies hurt?" He cooed, still rubbing her back as he headed to the freezer, grabbing one of her teething ring. "Here you go princess." Alex handed her the teething ring and sat down in the booth, looking at his little girl as she contently nibbled at the ring. "Daddy and mommy are gonna move in together, princess!" Alex whispered. "You're gonna have the family that you deserve. Mommy and daddy are together for good now. Daddy loves you both too much to ever let you slip through his fingers again."

Tatum kissed Alex back, sweetly before hearing his explanation, grinning like an idiot. This was what she ALWAYS wanted to hear. "Alexander William, do you realize how long i've wanted you to say these words? I'm so excited Adri has her daddy. Cause she has the best daddy in the world." she said, nuzzling into his lap more listening to him ramble back. "Another kid? You'd be down for two rugrats?" she asked, hugging him back, resting her face near his neck. "This is what Adri deserves. I know we're not the conventional kind of parents, but hell, we're trying." She said, cuddling against him.

She had finally dozed off again when she hear Adriannes cry. Her motherly instincts had woken her up, but when Alex said he'd do it, she tried falling asleep again. It didn't work, so she ended up walking back out into the kitchen area, making some bottles and mushed food up for the boys to feed her tonight. She started doing some dishes that were pilling up, knowing they'd never be done without her. When she was finished she leaned against the counter, smiling at the handsome man and beautiful baby in front of her. "So, should we move into my apartment or should we go house hunting?" she asked, more excited her family was going to be united.
