DECLAN’S P.O.V Babies can be a real romance killer, but in other cases they are a godsend!
Since we are once again on a family holiday I decided I would write another update to our daily routine…holidays or no holidays.
This morning Bridget and I were both awakened by Anna’s cries from the other room which woke India up so I dealt with India while Bridget fed Anna in the bedroom.
Usually Anna would wake up first at about 5am and cry from her bedroom and that wouldn’t disrupt India’s routine but this morning India had different idea’s as she stumbled around the lounge room having just found her feet. So I followed her around wishing I was still in bed, I was still exhausted from the night before…but I won’t go into detail. Then she suddenly started crying and demanding her bottle. I went and mixed up some formula and handed that to her. Usually she doesn’t drink her bottle til about 7am. By then Bridget had finished with Anna and yelled at me for giving India her bottle so early. Anna was put on the floor on a blanket and we turned on the TV in an attempt to entertain India. Then we started getting breakfast organised. I noticed that Bridget was a lot more touchy feely this morning as she usually is, she had her arms around me about four times and kissed me a couple of times. She even made me some toast which had eggs and bacon in a smiley face on it. I finished that up and by then I had India standing at my feet demanding her breakfast.
“Well looks like we are going to go to the Murray early like you wanted” I said to Bridget as I set India in her highchair. “I think we are going to have to put Anna in our room tonight” Bridget said to me. “But but but!” my heart sank. “Well other then that we are going to be woken up by two grumpy babies every morning we are here!” Bridget snapped then started feeding India her breakfast. “Come on Anna!” I picked her up, “Lets go get the morning paper!”.

DECLAN’S P.O.V I walked into the shop with Anna in her sling carrier thing. I went and got the paper then went up to the front counter. The lady that was standing at the counter smiled at me, “what a good uncle you are..taking her out!”. “What uncle?” I asked. “oh I got that wrong..you must be her cousin then?” she asked me. I shook my head “I’m her dad”. She looked at me shocked then shook her head, “how old is she?”. “Umm seven weeks old?” I added it up in my head. “She looks newborn” she observed. “ “Yeah she was a premmie” I told her. “Well you look tired, it does get easier with time you know, they aren’t always crying machines!” she told me. “Yeah I know..i have a one year old daughter as well” I told her. The lady looked even more shocked and I was enjoying her reaction to my teenage fatherhood. “How old are you? If you don’t mind me asking?” she asked. “Nineteen” I told her. “Well it’s good your taking a holiday with your kids, most fathers your age never see their kids!” she told me. “Oh my wife is here too!” I almost laughed out loud at her face. “You have a wife?” she exclaimed. “Yeah we’ve been married a year, we got married just before India was born” I told her. “Oh is that your daughters name?” She asked me. “Yeah our first is India and this is Anna” I told her, “anyway I better get back, seeya”. From that moment onwards that woman called me dad, I don’t even think she knew my real name.
Bridget and I washed up our plates then went over to the campsite where the rest of the gang, Donna, Ringo, Zeke and Sunny were sleeping to wake them up. I banged on the tent while Bridget hit a pan with a wooden spoon and India laughed from the ground to wake them up.
“What do you want!” Ringo poked his head out of the tent, “It’s 6am!”. “Yeah we’ve been up an hour already, come on!” I grinned and bounced around. “No get stuffed” Zeke yelled from his tent. “Big night guys?” I asked walking over to their tent. “GO AWAY” they both yelled. I smirked at Bridget, “Fine we are going to the Murray, might see you their later, If you decide to get up before midday!”.
*not a great update but i'm running out of idea's right now*

Declan's conversation with the random lady was hilarious.

Great stuff! I'd say a lot harsher things to Bridget and Declan if they woke me up at 6AM!

BRIDGET'S P.O.V By 11am the rest of the crew were out with us at the riverside, we had spent the morning playing in the water with the girls and now Anna was wrapped up in a towel and a blanket and in her pram having a nap.
India was sitting next to us, we kept feeding her sandwiches and chips to keep her happy as we talked about nothing in particular to each other.
"Alright if you had to kiss....Kevin Rudd or John Howard, which one would you pick?" Dec asked me. "Oh i dont know, that's a tough decision" I mocked thinking. "Well come on?" He grinned. "I'd go Ruddy, Johnnies eyebrows just don't do it for me!" I laughed at Declan's expression. "Alright you ask me one" He said. "I'm going to take these two to protect their ears, no child should have to hear who their parents would commit adultery with!" Donna said picking up India from in between us and reaching for the pram. "Watch it, she's sleeping" I told her. "Yeah i know i know!" Donna wheeled the pram away from us. "Well?" Declan asked. "Alright...if you had to kiss...Michelle Obama or Christine Nixon which would you choose?" I asked him. "Do you really think i'm going to go for Nixon over Obama?" He asked me. I laughed "No". "Well i am!" He laughed at my expression, "Only joking!". I shook my head and giggled. "But i would choose you any day!" he grinned then started kissing me and eventually rolled on top of me. We kept kissing until a bucket of water was tossed over our heads and Ringo and Zeke's voices said "India and Anna dont need a little brother or sister yet!". Declan rolled off me and we both got up to chase the other two into the water for a water fight while Donna and Sunny watched from the river edge with our daughters.
