“Michael, don’t drop her please.” Luke sighed as he handed his 6 month old daughter Riley over to his bandmate. Luke needed to tune his acoustic, but couldn’t do that with his baby in his arms. Michael scoffed, “I’ve held a baby before man, have some faith in me,” he said as he stuck out his pointer finger for Luke’s little girl to hold. Riley, or Riles as Luke had nicknamed her, had Luke’s nose and his eyes, but she had closer to your skintone and your lips. Michael stuck his tounge out at her and blew raspberries over and over, throwing her into a fit of giggles. Luke looked up from his guitar and smiled, heart warmed at the sight of Michael and his baby girl. “She really likes you,” Luke said. “Duh,” Michael replied, “I’m her favorite uncle!” he turned back to Riley and continued to make her laugh. Ashton and Calum walked into the rehearsal studio, greeting Michael and Luke. “Ah! My favorite Hemmings!” Ashton joked as he walked over to his drumkit. Luke rolled his eyes and flicked him off. Calum and Ashton laughed before Calum spoke, “I thought we were recording the rest of this song today Luke?” Luke put down his guitar, “We still are. Y/N had to pick up a sick coworker’s shift today so Riles is just gonna hangout while we finish stuff up.” Calum nodded, “Sounds good SuperDad, wanna finish up our end now before she gets fussy?” Luke shot him a thumbs up. He stood from the amp he was sat on and walked over to Michael to take Riley. “Hello Princess, how’s my babygirl? You wanna play the guitar with Daddy?” he cooed at her. He sat her down on his lap and wrapped an arm around her tiny body while he grabbed his guitar. He placed it on his lap in front of her and places his hands on the frets. He started strumming along to the new song. Her hands grabbed onto the neck of the guitar, extremely small in comparison to Luke’s, and smiled. Luke chuckled and smiled down at her, “You’re a natural, huh Riles?” Luke moved the guitar and took her over to the piano, sitting her so she could lean back into his torso. He began to play, and sang a few lines of the new song they were working on. At first Riley started pounding on the keys, but as soon as she heard Luke’s voice she settled. Luke’s voice always relaxed her. He’d sing to your swollen belly while you were pregnant with her and when she was a newborn, she would cry for hours but immediately fall silent at the sound of her father singing. Calum sneakily snapped a picture of the two of them and sent it to you while you were at work.
You closed your computer, relieved to be done with your day. You opened Calum’s text and felt your heart melt at the picture of your husband and your daughter. You replied to Calum, ‘My favorite people!! I’ll be there in 15, thanks for the new lockscreen Cal :)’ and locked your phone. You drove over to the studio, changing out of your blouse into one of Luke’s old sweatshirts before getting out of the car. You walked past the front desk and waved at Jessica, the receptionist. “Hi Y/N! How was work?” she asked. “Tiring and boring as always.” you chuckled and she smiled. “The boys are almost wrapped up, they had a few parts of a song to finish recording but that was about it last I heard.” she said. “Thanks Jess, I’ll see you later this week!” you smiled, and walked down the hall. Anyone else who came in would need to explain why they’re there and who they’re meeting with, but everyone who worked in their studio knew who you were. You walked in to the sound of Calum’s bass and Luke singing. You stood patiently outside watching through the glass, not wanting to disturb the session. You waved at Michael and Ashton, mouthing a ‘Where’s Riley?” at them. They pointed over at Luke who was standing in the corner of the recording room, headphone over one ear and Riley in his arms. He held her on his hip, using his other hand to keep her pacifier in her mouth while he sang. You smiled at the sight and he caught your gaze, his eyes lighting up once he saw you.
Once they finished the recording, the boys walked out and started collecting their belongings. Luke walked over to you with your little girl. “Look who’s here Princess! Mama’s back!” he chirped as he handed her over to you. You gladly accepted and you held her against your chest. “Hi baby! Did you have fun with Daddy and your uncles today?” You said as you peppered her chubby cheeks with kisses. Calum came up to you and Luke and tickled her stomach, “Yes she did, we found our fifth member of the band today” he beamed. You fake gasped, “Is that so? Are you turning our daughter into a rockstar?” you said as you turned to Luke. “Of course not!” Luke said, “She’s just born to be musical, it’s in her blood.” You rolled your eyes at him and he smiled at you, leaning over to kiss your temple. “You sounded really good in there, babe. I can’t wait ‘til the album’s out,” you told him. “It’s all coming together love, slowly but surely.” Luke said. He rubbed circles on your hip and made silly faces at his daughter. You leaned into Luke, basking in your little family moment. “C’mon,” Luke said, “let’s get my girls home.” He kissed your lips and then her forehead. You said your goodbyes to the boys before heading to your car, ready to go home and smother your baby girl and your man in much needed cuddles.
