Jet lag was kept Mason up so you he was currently sprawled across your lap at the back of the tour bus watching Cars. “Mum” he mumbled “ yeah Mas” “ is dad going to leave us ?” he questioned “ no no buddy dads not going to leave “ you reassured him running your fingers through his dark blonde hair.“okay “ he whispered snuggling back down in silence. Soon quiet hushed snores and the music from the tv became the only sounds audible. In just over four months it was no longer going to be just you and Mas anymore and that scared you. You had grown accustomed to your little family and now you were adding another member. Having two children was going to be a lot harder then just one. Where you really ready for another kid ?  “(Y/N)  can we talk?” Michael spoke puling you from your thoughts. “ yeah just let me put this guy to bed “ you replied beginning to move the sleeping child who rested in your lap. “ I've got him “ Michael offered lifting Mason off your lap. “ thanks “ you smiled as he carried Mason back to the bunk he was used to sleeping in. You watched as Michael gently lowered the sleeping boy in to the bunk and pulled the covers over him tucking him in. “ Daddy?” Mason yawned “yeah bud Dads here , I've got you “ Michael reassured the little boy. “Daddy are you…” Mason was cut off by a yawn. “shush shush get some sleep little man well talk tomorrow “ “okay” Mason yawned closing his eyes Michael silently made his way to the back of the bus.” i don't want to fight “ you spoke so quietly he could only just hear you. “I know “ “but this isn't working “ “i know” “ I thought we could do this. But who are we kidding ? pretending like everything is okay when its not “ Michael stayed silent “ are you going to say anything ?” you groaned in frustration “ What do you want me to say ? That your right this isn't working ? That I'm already failing at being a father and my child isn't even born?! ” “ Anything , literally anything ! I want you to fight me “ “ why ?“ he looked defeated “ because i want to know you still care about us ! about me” “ don't “ he whispered “ Don't what ? Michael “ “ Don't you ever think i don't love you ! Cause i do “ he yelled back “ i do “ he repeated himself in a quieter tone. Running your fingers through your hair and tugging on the roots you wanted to scream in frustration. What were you doing fighting with Michael ? He wasn't Adam. “ Im sorry “ you cried breaking down “ I'm so sorry “ “ hey hey “ Michael rushed to your side pulling you into a comforting hug “ please don't cry” “ I'm sorry it's my fault , I keep comparing you to Adam “ “ Im not him (Y/n) never have and never will be “ “I know and i need to trust you more” you sobbed into his chest inhaling his warm sent. “ Go tomorrow “ smiled breaking the silence that had absorbed you “what ?” Michael replied confused “ go to the beer tasting , you need a break so go have fun “ “ No there will be plenty of other beer tasting i can go to but only one chance to find out the sex of our little Clifford in there “ Michael replied kneeling in front of you “ Hey little guy/girl, we get to find out which one of those you are  tomorrow. Please ignore what you herd Mummy and Daddy fighting about before. We were both just stressed mostly because of you no offence. But don't worry we’ll have our shit together before you arrive” “ Mikey” You laughed and his silliness “Fuck and our language “ he corrected looking up at you with adoring eyes. “ no , i was going to say i love you” “ Well i love you too babe “ he smiled standing up and pulling you a close to him as possible while snaking his arms around your waist. wrapping your arms around his neck you leaned up and gave him a gentle peck on the lips “ but your language could be sorted too.” You giggled as Michael attacked your mouth with affectionate kisses.

You had never been more wrong in your entire life. Well thats a bit dramatic but when the three of you turned up at the house three hours later Adam was more then upset. “ where the fuck were you ?” he yelled as soon as you opened the door. “ relax we were just doing some shopping “ you tried to calm him down holding up the bags of clothes you had bought. “ i don't fucking care what you were doing. you should have told me (Y/N) i was looking for you  so i could show off my kid to my family and then i find you , Mason and My mother had disappeared in Ricky’s truck” he yelled getting angrier by the minute.  “ oh now you want to show him off “ you yelled “ you never want anything to do with him but now you want to show him off ! you're unbelievable Adam” “Mummy” Mason cried tears running down his face breaking your heart you didn't mean to upset him by arguing with Adam but you were just so mad. “ oh I'm sorry little man “ you said bending down and scooping him up into your arms letting out a small groan at how heavy he was getting. “ (Y/n) let me take him” Adam offered to take the small boy off your hands “ No Adam its fine “ you spat grabbing your shopping and heading upstairs “ She was just trying to take my mind off your father , i actually had a good afternoon “ you hear Ruth speak before leaving to put here new purchases away.As soon as you got in your room you place Mason on the bed. His tears had stop falling and now he was just sniffling. “ how about we see if Dads free to Skype ?” you asked Mason while quickly flicking Michael a text. Mason just nodded slowly. As soon as Michael received your text he calling you with in minutes “ hey theres my little rockstar” Michael waved as soon as you accepted the call and his face appeared on your laptop screen. “ Hi Dad” Mason smiled forgetting all about before “ Hey babe “ Michael called you seeing you in the back round folding clothes “ Hey sweetheart how are you doing ?” you asked “ im good I'm mad at you two though “ he laughed trying to pretend to be mad but you saw right though it. “ and whys that ?” you laughed “ i just saw this “ Michael smiled holding up his phone screen to show you a photo of you Mason and Ruth at McDonalds earlier that a fan had taken. “ you went to McDonalds without me ?” “ Dad don't be silly “ Mason giggled “ oh im being silly ?” Michael questioned “ yes Dad you are “ he laughed his smile becoming evident. Michaels smile was enough to lift your spirits and the thought of seeing him soon made you feel on cloud nine . “are you still flying back tomorrow  (y/n) ?” Michael asked interrupting your thoughts “ huh ? oh yeah yeah of course we are ! “ you smiled watching his grin widen “ sweet Dave from security will be picking you up “ he informed you “ is that (Y/n)?” you herd Calum call from the background followed by the tanned boy making and appearance over Michaels shoulder. “ hey Cal “ you smiled giving him a wave “ Uncle Calum “ Mason cheered excitedly throwing his hands up in the air. “ Hey Buddy hows Australia ?” Calum replied leaning over Michael and pushing him to the edge of the camera. “ its good “ Mason clapped giving him the thumbs up. “ Hey Mas nice shirt “ Ashton called walking over and joining in   “ Uncle Ash you bought it silly “ Mason shock his head “ yeah i know do you think it looks good ?” Ash smiled in return as the door opened in the back round “ great now the whole band is now here “ Michael grumbled as Luke walked though the door. “ wait what did i do know ?” Luke called confused by his actions. “ i was just having a quiet Skype call with my family and now your all here” he moaned “ fuck off we are family were his uncles “ Calum complained at Michael “ Calum language “ Ashton yelled “ Michael don't you know by now they are family “ you laughed at the boys banter.How you had missed your boys. Michael silently smiled at you through the screen the man that had stolen your heart. You couldn't contain the large grin that made its way onto your face as you two sat there slightly smiling at each other while the boys chatted away to Mason. Lost in a silent conversation on the two of you could understand.

After the boys played 'Jet black heart' they sat at the front of the stage ready for the part were the fans got to ask the boys questions. “ How are you liking Las Vegas ?” the first fan asked “ good Calum and i are going to have a Vegas wedding “ Ashton answered while the crowd laughed along. The boys were always quite humours and one of them always never failed to get you laughing.“ Calum i thought you were marrying me ?” Luke whinged “ No i am he's kidding baby “  Calum laughed making a heart with his hands at Luke “ What was the last lie you told ?” A brunette asked from the front row “ I told Ashton his shorts looked good “ Luke replied “ there you go making fun of my shorts again ? whats wrong with them ?” Ashton frowned “ they're awful “ Michael clutched his side laughing along with Calum and Luke “ How’s Mason liking tour ?” a tall blonde haired girl asked from the third row “ He's a bit jet lagged so he's all weird “ Ashton asked as Michael turned around to face back stage where you and Mason where sitting watching. Waving his hand he invited Mason to join him.  Unsure at first Mason took a few unsteady steps then as the crowd burst in to a cheer of “awws” he ran towards Michael. Michael engulfed him into a protective hug and he sat the small boy on his knee. “Hows tour Mas ?” Calum asked holding his microphone up to Masons mouth interviewing him “ good “ Mason replied smiling as the crowd burst into another cheer of “awws” “ what was the movie you watched ?” another fan asked “ we haven't had a lot of time to watch movies lately “ Ashton replied “ No Mason made us watch frozen the other day “ Luke corrected “ oh yeah good movie “ Ashton smiled remembering “ who's the tidiest band member ?” a fan from up the back asked “ defiantly Mason “ Michael replied without hesitation “ no that doesn't count his Mum packs his stuff “ Calum countered “ yeah thats why he's s tidy “ Luke laughed while Calum nodded in agreement “ do you guys ever read fanfics ?” a small light brown haired girl asked from the second row. “ All the fanfics I've read i always get friend zoned and Luke or Calum get the girl “ Michael grumbled making you laugh as you stage at the edge of the stage keeping an  eye on Mason. “ your friend zoned in real life as well “ Calum laughed “ yeah (Y/N)’s actually dating Ash “ Luke joined in “They always make me out to be really romantic but I'm really not “ Ashton confessed. “ what do you say one more question Mas “ Michael asked as Mason nodded “ alright who should we pick ?” he questioned as Mason scanned the audience finally pointing at a girl with bright blue hair “ What are you most looking forward too after the tour ?” she asked grinning “ Sleeping “ Calum replied and Luke nodded his head in agreement making the fans laugh as tonights show was the first show of the american leg of the tour. “ writing new music “ Ashton smiled as the boys all looked at Michael waiting for his answer “ becoming a Dad again “ Michael answered casually as the fans sat gob smacked. “ Should we sing another song ?” he asked standing up as the fans tried to process the new information. “ that was cruel you laughed as you took Mason from Michael as the fans started to cheer and congratulate you. “ well they were going to find out soon “ he laughed.

The grocery store was pretty quiet. There were a lot of mothers pushing young children around in their trolleys. “ Mummy “ Mason called pointing at you making small grabby hand motions at you. staring down at the tried boy at your feet you gently lifted him of his feet and onto your hip. “here ill take the shopping basket “ Mark offered as you struggled to hold both your boy and the basket. gladly you handed him your grocery’s. “ thank you “ you smiled “ now what do we need Mason ?” you questioned the small boy who was quietly scanning his surroundings “ bananas “ he spoke quietly pointing in the direction of the fruit section. “ good boy what would i do without you ?” you hummed as you mad your way over to the fruit section. “ excuse me ma'am “ a lady at a testing station gained your attention “ would you like to try so of our mixed berry juice “ she offered You nodded and she opened the bottle and poured you a sample in a small cup . As she handed you the small cup your stomach began to feel uneasy as you caught a whiff of the juice “ on second thoughts i better not “ you smiled as you held the cup up offering it to Mason. Frowning and shaking his head he denied it. “ a bit grumpy is he “ the lady laughed “ well i have something to fix it “ she said as you handed the juice to Mark who happily accepted and drank it. The lady ducked under the testing station and pulled out a lollie pop “ would you like this ?” she offered him. Mason just stared at the lady blank faced “ Mas what do you say ?” you asked as you accepted the lollipop for him “ thank you “ he mumbled as you handed it to him. “ thats alright “ she replied obviously taken back by the lack of enthusiasm Mason showed for the sweet. “ he's just a bit jet lagged “ you explained as the lady flashed you an understanding smile. “ Mummy “ Mason cried getting your attention “ i don't want it “ he grumbled as a tear ran down his cheek followed by another one as he turned his head into your shoulder and began to sob. “ hey its okay you don't have to have it if you don't want it “ you soothed the upset four year old “ you save it you might want it later “ you smiled trying to solve the poor boys distress but he only shook his head and frowned “ or you could give it to Dad when we get back , i think he likes lollipops “ you suggested seeing Masons face light up and a smile reappear on his face.  “ Daddy's boy ae ?” the lady smiled as she began to wipe down the testing station with a cloth. “ you have no idea “ you laughed shifting Masons position on your hip so he could cuddle closer into your side.
