You’d never seen drinking as very appealing. Your idea of a good time was to hang out with friends and have a memorable night, if alcohol was involved it would just be one of the perks. It wasn’t until one night while having take out in the middle of your living room and a random game of 20 questions with CALUM that he’d asked when the last time you had a little too much to drink. Much to his surprise you’d confess that you’d never actually had gone out for the sole reason of drinking. CALUM from then on made it his mission to show you how to drink, he’d also vowed to keep you in his sight and to take care of you if you got sick, which he’d made it clear that you should feel special because he wasn’t one to take care of his sick friends, he loved his sleep too much. You’d gladly taken his offer and made sure that the next available night or more like next available day since you didn’t wanna go to class or work hungover. You both made your way down to the local sports bar, soccer matches going on late at night thanks to the different playing time zones, along with basketball and some football. Bars weren’t your favorite thing so CALUM thought it’d be easier to start at a sports bar and move on up to a bar or a club type. He’d have a beer and you’d have a fruity cocktail. But not before earning a bit of a hard time from the guys because ‘fruity drinks are so typical for girls’ yet their gross beers have what but one main source of alcohol, you were drinking at least one if not two mixed hard liquor with a dash of fruitiness to give it flavor. Sure the kiwi and mint leaves gave it a nice touch but soon enough your insides were starting to feel warm. What CALUM wasn’t counting on was that you’d be able to handle your liquor. He was so adamant to keep a drink in your hand but not before you’d also made sure to have some water. If there was one thing you’d learned from your friends, it was to pace yourself and have some water. Before you knew it, you were walking back to your apartment thankful it was only a walking distance from the bar, CALUM’s body slowly moving and his arm and weight seemed as though they were crushing your body, the closer you seemed to your apartment the heavier he got. Slurring and mumbling about how for a girl you sure knew how to handle your liquor, the sadness in his voice because he’d never been drinked under the table, not by any of the guys let alone some who’s claimed they’d never even drank before. His slurring essentially turned into mumbling which then turned into what seemed that of a slight hum. Opening your door just kicking it shut you’d made your way onto your couch a sigh of relief leaving your lips the minute CALUM’s weight made its way onto the couch and off your body. Pulling a blanket and kissing his forehead you’d made your way onto the kitchen. Opening the cabinet and retrieving some pain killers, a box of salty crackers, some chocolate and filling up a glass of water placing them all on the table near CALUM’s head for him to wake up in the morning. A simple note reading 'I may not know how to drink but I do know how to take care of someone who’s had too much to drink, maybe next time cal pal’

The one morning daddy Calum had made sure everything was pushed back a few hours, or at least after breakfast time so he could spend some much needed time with his little girl, who’s at his doorbell claiming he had an epiphany while in the shower about how to renovate the recording studio without having to take it all down, Luke. With a slight pout and a hunch of his shoulders he invited Luke inside only to be met with a high shriek and a giggle ‘WUUUUKE!!’ It was no secret ‘uncle Wuke’ seemed to come on top as her favorite uncle. Patting her head and kissing her forehead he greeted her sending a small wave your way. Seeing as though he’d come in at the right time as you were serving breakfast, an array of fruits and a pancake with chocolate chips, bananas and strawberries were set upon little girls high chair. Youd finish serving the boys and making yourself your own plate, sitting at the table near your little girl, listening to the boys talk about what other project they were gonna do to the poor studio, it seemed as though every other three months it was being fixed up or renovated. Music playing in the background, known as the morning playlist, Calum apparently having it updated as a new number of disney songs boomed through the small speakers in the kitchen. Your baby girl moving her head to and fro and smiling while picking up and placing berries in her mouth. It was then ‘Jolly Holiday’ from the infamous Mary Poppins came on, to which Luke’s face lit up, ’This song, heck this scene was my favorite out of the whole movie’ “Hemmings you’ve gotta be kidding me, we all know its step in time! But I’ll let it slide because if you’re being honest you only like it because of the penguins” Calum retorted making you giggle, your little girl laughing along. ‘Oh really?! Just because I think its awesome to dance with penguins, it was so cool, i even memorized the whole dance’ “You did what, wait so that means you really are Bert… get it cuz your middle names robert?” A grin made its way towards your face, the minute he looked at you, he knew what you were gonna ask so before you could say anything he gets up from the table and just like Bert. ‘Just because I wanna see my favorite niece smile, and stop you from any more horrible jokes, DJ HOOD THE MUSIC PLEASE’ Soon enough Luke is waddling and dancing to and fro, gliding around the kitchen reenacting the little dance the penguins once did with Bert, to say your daughter was enjoying this was an understatement, giggles, claps and shrieks left her little mouth as she was amazed ‘yay wuuuke!’ needless to say that all attention was on his mate and not his, daddy cal was suddenly bitten by the jealousy bug. “Well you know they updated from penguins to seagulls and instead of bert its olaf now thats done a more updated rendition of this dance” sending a simple ‘Calum’ wasnt enough as Luke realized what was going on ‘Is this a challenge Hood’ “its only a challenge if i feel threatened, so no. Lets just give baby girl an array of musical performances she clearly loves it” Before you know it Frozen’s ‘In Summer’ is blasting through the speakers, these grown men using spoons as canes, and plates as hats as theyre doing a full dance while sing ‘winters a good time to stay in and cuddle but put me in summer and ill be a HAPPY SNOWMAN’ reaching over to your little girl and pinching her cheeks. Needless to say your daughter would always look forward to her uncle Wuke’s visits because he always helped daddy with music showtime.
