***
You and Luke were going to the doctor’s office for Oliver’s routine check-ups and Calum and Ashton offered to take the girls out for a day. Lily and Posy were talking nonstop about it during breakfast asking where they were going and what they were going to do.
“Will Duke be with us?” Lily asks while you’re styling her hair in her room. Luke has Posy in her room getting her dressed and Oliver is in his swing sucking on his fingers.
“I don’t know, honey. I guess we’ll see when they come pick you up,” you kiss her head watching her pull on her socks.
That was the one request Ashton and Calum had for you and Luke; the girls had to wear shoes and socks. You had packed sunscreen, goldfish crackers, and some extra pull-ups for Posy in case she had an accident. She’s been doing really well going potty on the toilet but accidents happen. You packed an extra outfit and sweaters just in case and placed them in one of Luke’s backpacks.
You figured Ashton and Calum wouldn’t want to carry around the baby bag that you have.
“I ready! Let’s go!” Posy announces skidding to a stop in Lily’s doorway.
“Uncle Ash and Uncle Cal aren’t here yet, bug,” Luke laughs poking at her cheeks from behind.
The girls busied themselves with their toys as you and Luke made sure you had everything you needed for Oliver. Then there was a knock on the door followed by Petunia barking and the girls screaming in excitement running down the hall.
When it opens, Posy rushes to Ashton’s legs and Lily grabs hold of Calum’s hands pulling him inside the house.
“Hey, hey, let them get in the door,” Luke laughs entering the living room behind you.
Oliver woke up from the loud noises and you scooped him up into your arms, rocking him slightly until he calmed down.
“I want to be greeted like this everywhere I go,” Calum laughs, lifting Lily in his arms. “Are you ready for a day of fun, Lils?”
“Yes! Where are we going?” Lily asks.
“Up, up, up Unca Ash!” Posy is trying to climb her way up Ashton’s legs. He picks her up easily as well and pokes her nose.
“Hi little one,” he grins then turns to Lily. “It’s a surprise, but there’s rides, animals, and yummy food.”
You and Luke exchange a look. Rides?
“What kind of rides?” Luke asks, his eyes moving to Lily who’s always been the most cautious with certain things.
“A carousel and pony rides,” Calum eases.
“Ponies?” Lily’s eyes widened.
“Do not let them out of your sight,” Luke warns, lifting the backpack you packed and handing it to Ashton.
“We won’t. How long do you think you’ll be at the doctor’s?” Ashton asks. Calum moves forward towards you and gazes lovingly at Oliver.
“No idea. They’ll probably check his oxygen levels, weigh him, take some blood...a few hours at least,” you respond. “I packed extra clothes and some snacks for them.”
“We’ll be back before dinnertime,” Ashton informs. “You girls ready to go?”
“Bye mama! Bye Daddy!” Posy waves.
“Have fun and listen to your uncles, okay?” you tell them. “And hold their hands.”
“We will mama. Bye Olly!” Calum sets her back on the ground and she touches Oliver’s arm softly.

Ashton carries Posy along the grounds of where the circus is in town. There’s a train painted in bright colors with animals drawn all over it and clowns are walking around. Lily is holding onto Calum’s hand taking in all of the sights around her.
“Where should we go first?” Ashton asks, looking at the booths of face painting, jewelry, t-shirts, concessions, and games with colorful stuffed animals.
“Let’s just start on one end and work our way around,” Calum shrugs.
And so they did. First, they ordered a large lemonade that was shared amongst the four of them and looked at the animals. Lily and Posy wanted to feed them so Calum bought the food from a machine that usually holds pieces of gum. He took photos and videos of the girls laughing at the tickling sensation from the goats’ whiskers.
“Goats are pretty cute,” Ashton muses, scratching one on the head.
“No way are you going to get a goat,” Calum shakes his head.
“I want a goat!” Posy claps her hands.
“Ask your daddy that, little one,” Ashton giggles.
They wash their hands and look at the rest of the animals for a bit longer until Posy whispers something in Ashton’s ear.
“She needs to use the potty,” Ashton tells Calum with wide eyes.
“Oh, okay. Uhh…” Calum looks around but all he sees are portable ones. “Looks like those are our best option.”
“Those are disgusting,” Ashton crinkles his nose. “There has to be an actual bathroom somewhere. Let’s ask someone.”
Calum and Lily follow him to a worker and shockingly enough, there is an actual bathroom building but it’s way in the back.
“Can you hold it until we’re at the bathrooms, little one?” Ashton asks, already walking towards the back at a brisk pace. Calum and Lily follow.
They push through the crowds of people muttering their apologies. At long last, they’re in front of the building and thankfully see a door that’s labeled as ‘family’ restroom.
“Here we go,” Ashton says and Calum stops him.
“Do you even know what to do?”
“I’m not dumb, it can’t be that hard. Have some faith, man,” Ashton shakes his head and moves into the restroom.
Calum looks down at Lily who gives him a nervous smile.
“Do you think Uncle Ash will drop her in the toilet?” Calum asks and she giggles.
“I hope not. Dada always sings when she’s on the potty to help.”
Calum looks to the restroom door and approaches it. He knocks lightly.
“Occupied!”
“It’s me!” Calum shouts. “Lily says Luke sings to her to help her go.”
“Sings what?”
Calum looks down at Lily.
“Wheels on the bus.”
“Wheels on the bus!” Calum shouts.
“Got it! Thanks!”
Calum notices a bench against the wall and he pulls Lily onto his lap.
“You’re such a great big sister, you know that? You remind me of my big sister,” he says then realizes Mali hasn’t officially met the girls or Oliver.
“Who?”
“My big sister, Mali.”
“Mama showed me Mali! She sings pretty.”
“Yeah, she does,” Calum grins, “she’d love to meet you someday. I’ll see if she can come visit me soon.”
“Can we ride the ponies next?” Lily asks and Ashton comes out with Posy with a triumphant smile.
“Did it all go well, then?” Calum asks.
“She did such a good job,” Ashton praises and Posy is grinning like he is. “Your mama and daddy are going to be so proud of you, Posy.”
“Way to go Posy!” Calum and Lily clap their hands. “Lils wants to go on the pony rides next.”
“Then let’s go see some ponies!”
Calum and Ashton were able to walk alongside the ponies to make sure the girls didn’t fall off. There was a strap that could be secured around their waists. Calum held onto Lily who kept petting at the pony’s mane and neck as he strutted around the circle.
Ashton was speaking in a southern accent trying to sound like a cowboy and Posy was laughing the whole ride.
After the ponies, they had lunch which consisted of a slice of pizza and some fruit that was sold as a side. Games were next and Posy loved watching Ashton do the hammer one to test his strength. Her peels of laughter encouraged him to keep trying until he finally hit the bell at the top.
He asked Posy which toy she wanted as a prize and chose a purple looking monster with orange teeth and green hair. Lily looked at it apprehensively so Calum towed her along to the water games. She had a good shot with the water guns being aimed at the spinning target as it ascended up the pole, but she didn’t beat the buzzer.
“It’s okay Lils, let’s try this one over here.”
They walk over to the ping pong toss over small fish bowls while Ashton and Posy are throwing balls at glass bottles. Calum buys a bucketful of ping pongs and tries to help Lily with her throws. He loves how dainty she holds the white ball in her hand and she sticks her tongue out in concentration. One of her eyebrows quirks up and she looks so much like Y/N when she does it it throws Calum for a loop.
“Try not to aim for one certain one,” Calum says. “Just throw it and I’m sure you’ll make one in.”
“Okay…” Lily tosses a ball.
She and Calum watch it in slow motion as it hits one bowl then falls into the one next to it. Lily lets out a scream and Calum whoops in excitement as the attendant shouts out “WINNER TO THE LITTLE GIRL IN PINK!”
“I won! Unca Cal I won!” she jumps up and down clutching Calum's fingers.
“Way to go, Lils!” He congratulates and Ashton and Posy come by.
“What’s going on?” Ashton asks just as the attendant comes forward with a bag of water and a small pink fish.
“Lily won a fish,” Calum explains proudly and takes the bag.
“No way! Lily, that’s awesome!”
“I thought she’d like this pink one,” the attendant smiles.
“She loves pink, thank you,” Calum grins and bends down to Lily’s height. “What do you think, Lils?”
“He’s pretty,” she smiles, poking the bag lightly where the small fish is poking in the corner. “Will mama let me keep him?”
“I don’t see why not, you don’t have to walk them.”
“I love him. His name is Bruno.”
“That’s the perfect name,” Calum grins.
“Po, look at my fish.”
Posy scrambles down from Ashton’s arms and presses her nose to the bag.
“He’s tiny!” Posy crinkles her nose.
The rest of the day Calum carried Bruno and Lily would check on him periodically. Posy started to get fussy and they ended the day at the pet store to get some supplies for Bruno. The clerk informed them that Bruno was a male betta fish and about 6 months old.
Calum bought a small tank with gray stones and a lily pad for the fish to sleep on; Lily loved knowing that bit of information that betta fish like to nestle. He bought food and some colorful fake plants.
Ashton stayed with Posy in the car because she fell asleep on the ride to the pet store.
“He won’t...die right away will he?” Calum asks nervously as Lily inspects some more water accessories.
“No, as long as you feed him and change the water periodically he should live for about four years.”
“Four?”
“That’s the average lifespan of betta’s. He’ll be a good starter fish for her if she wants to get another one. When the time comes.”
Calum feels saddened by that because he doesn’t want Lily to be sad when the fish will die. But she’s so enamored by him there’s no way he’ll tell her any of this.
He’ll just tell Luke.

“Mama! Look what I got!” Lily runs through the door with Bruno in his bag. She stops in the kitchen where you’re making dinner, Oliver is held against you in the wrap around your body. “I won him! His name is Bruno and Uncle Cal got him a nice home and some food!”
“He did? Wow, he’s so pretty sweetie,” you smile looking at the pink fish.
“What’s with all the noise, is there a circus in town?” Luke asks, coming up from the stairs. “Hey bug, are you still sleepy?” He takes Posy from Ashton’s arms, Posy rests her head in Luke’s neck.
“Look dada! I got a fish!” Lily spins around and shows Luke Bruno.
“Oh wow, and he’s pink! Did you have fun at the circus?”
“Yeah, Po used the potty and won a monster. We had lemonade and pizza and cotton candy. Can Uncle Cal help me with Bruno’s tank?” Lily looks up at you and Luke.
“Absolutely. Thanks for buying everything Uncle Cal,” you smile at him and Lily runs to her room. Luke follows to put Posy down to finish her nap and Ashton crashes on the couch sighing heavily. “Busy day, huh?”
“I don’t know how you and Luke do it,” Calum shakes his head. “And now with three? You’re super human.”
“I’m just a mom.”
“You’re the best mom, lovie,” Luke reappears with a smile. “I take it you two are staying for dinner? Need us to bathe you and tuck you into bed as well?”
“The only one I’ll let bathe me is Y/N,” Ashton sighs, closing his eyes and you laugh loudly.
“Sorry mate, she’s all mine,” Luke gives you a kiss on the cheek and Calum goes to Lily’s room. “Can’t wait to spend the weekend with you, soon.”
