Without a doubt, you're all I dream about [closed]

Alex looked up from his little talk session with Adri, smiling up at Tatum. "We should go house hunting, but you and baby girl should stay with me at my house. We need her to get used to both of us being with her." He said. "There are a few nice houses in my neighborhood up for sale-- nice and big." Alex said, rubbing Adrianne's back. He set her down on her little mat for tummy time, watching as Adrianne tried to flip herself over. "Adi, you're such a goof." He chuckled as he watched Adrianne successfully flip herself over.

He rubbed the baby's back and took a few pictures of her before turning his attention to Tatum. "Babe, I think she's hungry. You wanna set up her chair and I can grab the mushed nanas?" Alex spoke, mentioning Adrianne's favorite baby food. He picked up his little wiggleworm and set her in her high chair, sitting in front of her with the baby food. "Nummy, nanas, princess!" Alex spoon fed her some of the bananas, which miraculously stayed in. He looked back at Tatum in absolute awe. "That's the first time she's never spit ANYTHING out on me."

Tatum grinned, getting overly excited he was willing to do all these things. Maybe it was still an imbalance of hormones making her feel this way, but she just felt at peace, like she didn't have to worry about anything because the love of her life was by her side. "Oooooh I like big things." She laughed, sounding like a five year old with what easily got her attention. Tatum started clapping as Adri turned over on her back, laughing and yelling. "She finally did it!" she said, excitedly, running over to the mat, crouching to her side as she watched Adri get mad because she didn't understand how to flip back. "She'll be learning how to sit by herself now! Then it's crawling!" she said, pulling out her phone, filming her trying to roll back ove.

Tatum nodded, setting the high chair up so it wouldn't trip anyone in the process before settling Adri in there as Alex tried to feed her. Tatum was expecting a mess since she really only let Tatum and her sister feed her, so she was getting a wet cloth and other clothes ready as she heard silence, turning back to an awed Alex. "She doesn't spit up on people she loves. It's like her way of saying "I love you, please stay forever." Like, she likes my mom, but my mom can't feed her. Only me and caity can." she said, grinning before walking over to Alex and kissing his forehead. "Look at you, being a daddy and stuff." she cooed, grinning at how perfect everything was.

Alex smiled softly, continuing to feed Adrianne before he looked over at Tatum. "Bein' a daddy's the only thing I ever wanna do." He spoke. And it was true. Alex didn't care if the band went under (well, he kinda did), or about anything else. As long as he had Tatum, and their little princess, everything was okay in his world. With a soft sigh, Alex wiped the baby's face. "Was that nummy, baby?" He asked, tickling Adrianne's sides and beaming with fatherly pride when she giggled. "You're daddy's princess." Alex gently got Adrianne out of her chair before laying her down on her play mat. He sat down on the couch and patted his lap. "Baby girl, sit with me." He pouted, holding his arms out for Tatum. Once she sat with him, Alex rested his chin in the crook of her shoulder and watched Adrianne play with her toys.

"She's such a cutie..." Alex whispered. "I can't wait until we have our own house, and we watch her crawl around like a maniac and chase the dogs." He said, thinking about it and giggling at the sight in his imagination. He leaned over and gave Tatum a kiss on the cheek. "I love you, and I love our pumpkin." Alex sighed to himself and just sat back, thinking about his future.

Alex and Tatum were always best friends, and that's what was always number one in both their lives. She thought she knew everything about Alex, but when he said those words, she was shocked. She knew he always wanted to settle down and have kids one day but she thought it was going to be way after the band. She smiled at him as he washed her face after she was eating. When he patted his leg, she went over and sat in between his legs, leaning back against him. "You know, when I first found out I was pregnant I was scared shitless." she said watching Adri roll around and pay with her toys. "I had no idea what to think or what to do, or if I should have told you. I was scared that was going to ruin our friendship." she said before smiling up at him. "I'm glad I came to my senses. You are the best daddy in the world." she said before kissing his cheek.

She laughed, thinking about their future together and how Baz was going to be pissed he wasn't the baby anymore. Tatum loved Baz, but hell, that dog was treated better than most people. "Baz is going to be pissed! He won't be the center of attention anymore, plus we need to bring Hank. Adri loves him so much." she said, thinking about her cat back at home. She smiled down at Adri and felt a kiss on her cheek. "And we love you too, so much. Adri was the best thing that happened to us." she said, leaning back against him.

Alex chuckled as he thought about how Baz would react when he had to live with Adrianne. "Oh, yep! He's gonna throw little temper tantrums and give me the silent treatment, like he does when I get back from tour." He played with Tatum's locks and relaxed for a bit, only snapping out of his trance when Adrianne accidentally bonked herself on the head with a toy. Her bottom lip quivered for a second before she started to cry. "Oh, no, pumpykin, did you hit your widdo head?" Alex cooed, picking Adrianne up and pressing a kiss to her head. "It's okay bubba, daddy's here. You're okay," He nuzzled Adrianne until her cries and turned to small whimpers. "You gotta be careful, killer!" He said as Adrianne giggled.

Alex blew raspberries on her tummy, smiling satisfactorily when she erupted in giggles. "That's dada's munchkin." He snuggled up with his girls, sighing and closing his eyes. But then, the unthinkable happened.

"Duhda." Adrianne spoke.

Tatum laughed as she watched Alex sooth Adrienne. She laid a small kiss on the babies head as she stopped crying, use to her hitting herself most of the time. She laughed as she heard Adrienne's small giggle before checking her phone for the time, realizing it was almost six at night. She kissed both of them and pointed to the back lounge where she would get ready since it had big mirrors and stuff. She went through her duffle bag for the day and pulled out her outfit. She began curling her hair and pinning it up before Jack came into the room, cat whistling and telling her she looked really good for the date tonight. She laughed and thanked him, before applying her lipstick and walking back out to the front of the bus.

"Hey babe, Jack just cat whistled at me. Can I file sexual harassment yet?" she asked, but before he could aswer her question, she heard Adrianne and freaked out. "Get my camera!! She's talking!" she said, running over to the counter and putting the iphone on camcorder mode before going back over to Adrianne. "Come on, baby, say it again for mommy!" she cooed as Adrianne kept repeating the word "dada."

@ cassadee blake.
bitchhhhh

Alex gasped and happy tears rolled down his face. "You said it, butternut!" He teased, poking the baby's foot as she babbled contently. The singer took a selfie with Adri, captioning it 'My little bugger is growing all the time! She just said dada! <3333 #pumpkin #daddysgirl @tatumtot'. He added a few emojis before putting his phone down, noticing that Adri was starting to wind down. "Time to go night night," he hummed to Adrianne, rocking her gently as he walked back to the bunk. It was time to get ready for date night with Tatum. With a final kiss to Adri's head, Alex headed back to his bunk.

"Just give me a few minutes," he spoke to Tatum. "And then we can go stuff our faces till we hate ourselves." He kissed her nose and pinched her ass before grabbing a plain black dress shirt and his american flag jeans, going to change. There really wasn't much that Alex could do with his hair, so he just made sure it wasn't out of control. "There. I'm gorgeous." He spoke satisfactorily to himself.

@ guns n' roses.
Tate helped put Adrianne to bed, giving her a kiss before she headed out into the front lounge. Flyzik was there, looking over some schedules, so she decided to surprise him. She ran up behind him and yelled boo, which made him jump some, then get aggravated. But, as they kept talking while Alex had gotten ready, he became more bearable. "I never thought I'd see the day Alex took on the father role, but he's doing a damn good job. " Flyzik said as Tate could only agree. It was just like it was yesterday when Adri wasn't around and they were young and dumb, but she made everyone grow up.

After a few minutes, Tatum got bored and ended her conversation with Matt so he could get back to work. She walked over to the bathroom where Alex was changing and waited by the door. When she heard him talk to himself, she let out a soft giggle. "You're always gorgeous, love. And I'm betting a million other pre-teens would agree." She winked, before walking into the small bathroom and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Ready?"

Alex smiled and turned around to give Tatum a kiss. "Of course, my love. Just let me say goodbye to our spawn." He pinched Tatum's ass again before heading to the baby's bunk, bending down to give Adri a kiss. "Goodnight, sweetie. Be good for your uncles and only throw up on Jack, okay?" Once he was done, he turned back to the love of his life. "Alright hot stuff," he hooked his arm through hers. "Let's go eat."

He said goodbye to his friends and led Tatum off of the bus and into the restaurant. "Gaskarth for two?" He spoke to the maitre d. The young man nodded his head and led Tatum and Alex to their table. "For you, Madame." Alex slid the chair out and waited for Tatum to sit down before pushing it in. "I say we order a bottle of wine and get tipsy, no?" He said, his signature grin growing wide.

(I haz an idea. skippin foo~)
It's been about three months since Jack and Rose's engagement, and three months since her story about All Time Low landed her the position of editor over at Rocksound. She has to fly to London every month or so for meetings, but mostly everything is handled over her facetime and email. The only problem in her life right now was the house she was renting out was for sale, so she ended up moving in with her sister. She loved it, but the problem being was her and Alex were actually making it work this time. She hadn't ran away from him, he didn't leave her for Lisa, and Adrienne was getting bigger. So she decided to take the plunge and ask him to get a house with her. Sure, they talked about it in the past, but now it was really going to happen.

"Alex, we need to go!" She said, watching Adrienne run all over her room. Since Adri was being more mobile, it's caused her much stress and it also made her think about when Adri was a baby. When she though about Adrienne as a baby, it made her want another. But with their careers and such now, she knew it wasn't the right time. She pulled up her knee high socks and looked at the mirror to make sure her outfit looked decent. They had a couple of open houses in downtown and she wanted to make sure they looked decent. "The first house is right on the water, and it's 4 bedroom, 2 bath, and has a lot of room. It looked really nice in the pictures!" She said loudly to let him listen to her wherever he was. She grabbed Adrienne and kissed her cheek. "Be good for Aunty, Adri!" She said, watching the little girl squirm in her arms. She had been talking and walking more, and Tatum was coming over the realization she was soon going to be a toddler.

Alex slipped on his beanie. "Four bedrooms, huh?" He spoke, coming into the room. Alex bent down to give Tatum a kiss on the head before picking Adrienne up out of her arms. He kissed the baby's belly until she erupted into giggles, saying "Dada stop!" over and over again. "Well, we'll need to start fillin' those bedrooms up then, won't we?" Alex hugged the baby tight and put her down, letting her run around and play. "Just let me grab my keys and we can go look at the house... maybe we can go get some lunch after? Have some mommy and daddy time?"

He grinned wildly and kissed Tatum's neck. "I love you so much," he spoke, grinning like a dork. Ever since that fateful night three months ago when they had cemented their relationship and made it official, he felt his feelings grown for Tatum more and more. Alex smoothed back some of her hair before smacking her ass, looking away innocently. "Let's go tell your sister we're gonna go look at the house-- hopefully hurricane Adrienne doesn't run her ragged." Alex teased, slinging an arm around his love.

@ lorna morello.
If anyone had saw the couple now, they'd be convinced they were married. With their previous friendship and they way they just worked, it was easy to see that the two were meant for each other. She grinned as she saw him enter the room with his beanie on, grinning like he normally was. She knew she was one of the luckiest women in the world to be with him. She couldn't help but laugh when she saw Adri giggling and begging him to stop, she was 2 going on 20 with that attitude of hers. She grabbed the keys and planted a kiss on his cheek. "Well I was thinking if it didn't come with a large enough attic or basement, maybe one of the rooms could be your studio." She brainstormed out loud with him. She knew how badly he wanted one in their new house, and she couldn't deny him that. She handed him his keys and nodded. "Yes please, I need all the daddy time I can get."

She looked back at her handsome boyfriend and grinned as he kissed her neck. "And I love you." She grinned, wrapping her arms around his waist, kissing where she stopped on him, right inbetween his chest. Ever since they got back together and he worked for this relationship, it made her realize how deeply in love with him she was. He wasn't just her boyfriend, he was her best friend. He wasn't just a sperm donor, he was a dad. She knew some days, if she was him, she would of left and went back to Lisa, where things were easy, but he toughed it out. And no one could ever replace Alex in her heart. She laughed and pouted playfully. "I hope she does, she'll be passed out by the time we got back then." She laughed, wrapping her arm around him again, walking into the living room to see her sister. "Adri is in her room playing, she should be good. We're going to go house hunting. If you want, i left pizza money in my draw." She said before trying to take off as fast as possible.

Alex waved goodbye to Tatum's sister before leading Tatum out to his car. "For you, milady." He spoke with a cheesy grin as he opened the passenger door for her. Once Tatum was in, Alex gently closed the door and jogged around to the driver's seat, hopping in and turning on the car. He backed out of the driveway and began heading towards the house he was supposed to look at with Tatum. "So, I was playing with Adrienne and the dogs earlier, and she looked up at me and said 'More'. So I think she wants another dog." Alex laughed gently. He'd be happy to get Adrienne another puppy.Alex would get his daughter absolutely anything that she wanted. She was his princess, and he'd do whatever it took to make her happy and keep that little smile on her face.

"Maybe we should get her one for Christmas." Alex mused as he drove, pulling into a Starbucks drivethrough. "Order whatever you want, Queen Tatertot." He spoke, squeezing Tatum's thigh. He pulled his wallet out of his front pants pocket and pulled out his debit card, getting ready to pay for him and Tatum's breakfast. "I'll have a pumpkin spice latte and a banana muffin please," He ordered for himself.

She bowed playfully and smiled, buckling herself in as she waited for him to get into the car. "Thank you, faire knight." she grinned as she heard him go on about Adrienne. "If we're going to get her a new dog, we need a big yard. I'm not going to have 5 nutballs running through the house." She said, laughing referring to the three potential dogs, Adrienne, and Alex himself. "But, I want to give her a big Christmas this year, since it's the first time we're together, and hopefully we'll be in the new house." she said, realizing how excited she was getting just thinking about it. "If we can get the house before the holidays and everything, maybe we can have them at our house. Family, friends, hell even if there's a band passing through." She offered. If she was going to have this new house, she wanted to do family like things.

She laughed at his nickname and leaned over to order her breakfast. "I'd like a java chip frappacino with a double chocolate chip muffing and some of the chocolate covered almonds!" she asked before kissing Alex's cheek as they drove to the drive in window. "Thank you, my sir." she said before getting her drink and muffin and starting to devour her muffin. "I'm so excited to start this part of my life with you and Adrienne and whatever comes along the way." She said with a grin. Watching Adrienne almost be two is driving her insane, already. She was told that it would happen, but she has found herself wanting another kid, especially watching Rose be pregnant. But she kept pushing the thought to the side, especially with the careers they both lead right now.

Alex nodded his head as he payed for their food and drove off. "Oh, yeah, big yard, the whole nine. And you already know that we're gonna do Christmas big. We won't be able to see the tree under all of the presents I'm gonna buy for you and baby girl." He said proudly, programming the address of the house they were looking at into his GPS. "I'm excited, too, love. I can't wait until we have our own house, and we aren't just in your sister's room. I mean, I'm grateful as hell she's letting us stay with her, but I wanna be able to get loud while we're making passionate love." Alex teased, playfully nudging Tatum in the side.

He settled contently into the front seat and fiddled with the radio with his free hand. It was rare he was able to be in charge of what was playing in his own car. Normally, he was toting Adri in the backseat, and he had Sofia the First or Doc McStuffins or something on the little TV on the back of his head rest. "We're gonna have the best house on planet earth, and we're going to have sex on ever surface."

Tatum looked over at Alex and shook her head. Alex had always spoiled the girls rotten. Even when he was with Lisa, he made sure that they were taken care of and then some. He wasn't one of the famous people who let the fame go to his head. He made sure that his family and friends were all taken care of, and it was one of the many things she loved about him. "I can't wait to cook all the time. You're going to get so fat that the teenyboopers are going to stop thinking you're the attractive one in the band." She stuck her tongue out before hitting him playfully as he talked about the love making. "How much louder do you wanna get? You want to yell Yabba Dabba Doo at the top of your lungs when you finish?" she asked, laughing uncontrollably.

She hummed along to whatever station he was playing with. Alex spoiled Adrienne with the DVD player, where as Tatum only played the music she liked, but a lot of the time, they listened to a lot of All Time Low, Johnny Cash, and Led Zeppelin, which she didn't really complain about. "Every single surface, except on Adrienne's things." She laughed, leaning over and kissing his cheek as they pulled up to the house. "I'm so down to remodel, by the way. I want to out our personal touches into our house." she said getting out of the car.

@ lorna morello.
Oops I forgot to press reply

Alex rolled his eyes. "Pshh, you just want to remodel so you can see me in a tool belt. I really don't blame you, though. I'm kinda handsome when I'm in a tool belt." He poked Tatum in the nose before climbing out of the car and putting his hand in hers. "Love ya, muffin." Alex said as they approached the front steps. He had to admit, the house looked pretty nice. He could really see himself there with Tatum, Adrienne, the animals and whomever else decided to come along for the ride. "Just don't embarrass me." Alex gave Tatum his signature grin before pressing the doorbell.

While he waited for someone to answer, he thought about the lovely woman by his side. He really couldn't believe she was his again, hopefully for good this time. And now they were cementing their relationship by buying a house together. Alex couldn't wait to spoil his two princesses. "Here we go, baby."
