Sometime around four am Annah awoke quickly, crying out in a harsh pain.
She grabbed her stomach and bit down hardly on the inside of her lip. "Brandon.." Apparently, Annah's water had broke soemtime in the middle of the night and it had went unnoticed while she was asleep. Now her contractions were worsening, causing her pain.
Two weeks early.
Granted, that wasn't all that early. But she wasn't expecting it- At all.
"Brandon! I'm having this baby! Wake the hell up!" She reached for his hand and wasn't sure what she grabbed, but she was digging her nails into something and screaming out.
"Oh my god!" They were close to eachother too, hardly any space in between each contraction.
She was having this baby..now.

Brandon was in the middle of being ripped to shreds by a pack of wild doberman that Annah's long lost father (who happened to be an older version of Wolverine) had set on him as punishment for even thinking that Annah would marry anyone, let alone him, when suddenly one of the dogs took a humanly painful bite out of the side of his leg and the dog began screaming. Like a girl.
Instantly, Brandon jolted awake, a mixture of the pain in his leg, the fear from his dream and the confusion of what the hell was going on took over him, and it took him a good couple of seconds to figure out exactly what was going on.
"s**t." he said, scrambling to his to his knees and grabbing Annah's phone that was laid on the floor next to the mattress.
He dialled 911 and yelled ridiculously fast down it, instructing for someone to come right away as dobermen were eating him his wife was now having his kid.
Yeah. He didn't even notice the slip of the word 'wife'.
In under 10 minutes their 'new' bedroom was filled with a midwife, a doctor and 3 paramedics, watching as Annah pushed out a baby and crushed Brandon's hand simultaneously.

It took about twenty minutes and the baby was coming, really coming. But their room was filled and this was their makeshift hospital room. It took a few long hours but eventually their new baby girl popped out and was being cleaned.
"We should get you to the hospital, to check that everythings okay." Oh yeah, she did all that without the pain medicine. It was too late for it, and she just wanted the baby out.
"Tyler Lane." She whispered, completely out of it. She looked up at Brandon as they helped her up and started to get her to the ambulance. "She needs a middle name," Oh yeah, entirely out of it, despite not being drugged.
"Brandon?" She looked around, desperately wanting to hold his hand.
"Wait, I wanna hold her first." The smiling midwife handed the baby over to Annah, who was in a stretcher. "Babe?" She looked to her side, expecting to see Brandon.

Brandon watched, completely high from either the pain of his hand being crushed, or watching Annah give birth to their baby girl.
Oh man, it was a girl. A girl. Little Tyler Ariannah Lane. He didn't even know where the middle name came from in his head. Maybe he dreamt it. But oh god. Now he'd have to actually practice good parenting. He hoped he'd be good enough. And jesus, he also needed to find time to get a ring- yeah, during those hours of labor, that was another thing he'd also decided. s**t, what about when she was a teenager, boyfriends? BOYFRIENDS? He'd have to deal with that crap. Wait. What if it was girlfriends? What if he was one of those dads who wasn't cool enough to be seen around their daughter while she was with her friends??
During all this mind vomiting, he hand was being looked at by a paramedic, who was now whispering subtly into your ear. "You're gonna need a bandage on this one buddy." Brandon just nodded and signaled with his hand to keep it down. He didn't want Annah to worry about that.
"Ariannah" he said as an answer for the middle name, his voice dry and croaky, from all the mind-vomit. he said again, stumbling over to the stretcher where Annah lay, holding Tyler. "Tyler Ariannah Lane" he said, looking down at the screaming bundle of joy.
And that's about when he passed out.

Hours faded to days, days to weeks, and weeks to months.
Their little baby girl, Tyler Ariannah Lane, was growing up so fast. The first few months were filled with petrified screams in the middle of the night and little sleep for the little family of three. They were settling into new jobs, fixing up their apartment, and learning the Dos and Donts of parenting. Their beautiful five month old baby girl was growing tufts of dark brown hair like crazy. Her eyes were a hazel color, like her mothers. And also had their delicate shape.
Her nose was just like Brandons, and her ears poked out slightly like his as well.
Her smile, well that was unique to the baby girl.
And after months of going nowhere but to work, daycare, and home the new family was out at a nearby resteraunt. Highchair and all.
Tyler was wrapped up in Annah's arms, who was feeding her a bottle and smiling over at Brandon, who had just told her that they were going to go out that night- Just the two of them.
Annah hadn't left Tyler's side except when it was necessary...which was for work. So, of course the first thing out of her mouth was,
"Where's Tyler going to go?" At the very mention of her name, the baby reached up and smacked the bottle from Annah's lose grip. Annoyed, Annah leaned over to grab the bottle. Her figure was back to normal, which didn't take much effort on her part. She hadn't been very big anyways.

Brandon adapted to fatherhood a lot quicker than he had expected. A lot quicker than Annah probably expected too.
The first couple of nights were hard. The very first week especially, what with a tiresome baby, and a sprained hand. But by the end of week 2, it felt like they had had her for far longer than a fortnight.
Brandon had managed to get himself an office job, that he didn't exactly hate, but he didn't love it either. But it was modest, but with a decent pay check. And, it also gave him enough hours of free time to see both Annah and his baby.
Like now for example, this was one of the many lunch times there were able to spend out, together, and it was nice. Brandon smirked as the bottle was knocked out of Annah's hands by mini Annah. Although Tyler was a definite mix of the two of them, he couldn't help but see every characteristic that he loved about Annah in Tyler. Though if it was possible, Tyler seemed like she may grow even more adventurous than her mother. But who knew.
Brandon moved a tuft of dark hair from in front of Tyler's mouth and gave a light playful flick to the girl's ear, causing her to scream out in excitement and cover her ears immediately in case he'd attack her again.
"David said that Mary and Lily would come over and watch her." he said, keeping eye contact with Tyler as she stared him down wondering what he'd do next. Since the baby was born, Annah met Brandon's dad, and his family. Mostly getting along with the Mrs and Brandon's half sister, Lily. Brandon wasn't exactly clear on why she was still a bit edgy with his dad, but he just put it down to what she had heard about him prior the father-son reunion. Which was fair enough, he guessed.
"Anyway, it'll be fine okay? It's about time we get to think about stuff other than diapers, baby food and alarm clocks.. right?" he said, finally breaking the stare with Tyler and looking at Annah. "Isnt that right?" he cooed back at Tyler, looking at her again, and getting another excited noise from the infant.
Like sex for example.
Not that they haven't had any since she was born, but it had been more sort of.. on Tyler's watch. Like, if she fell asleep early, everything was all 'Go, go, go!', and it felt more like a military routine, rather than actual passionate, hot, sexytime, sex. And when it was finished, the only relief for them seemed to be that they had managed to do it without waking Ty, not really relieving any sexual tension.
But other than that, there was also another important reason to take Annah out that night. And it really had to go according to plan.

"Oh, but.." Okay, so Annah really had ended up liking Mary and Lily. But she was uneasy about leaving Tyler alone with anyone other than them. The daycare was hard enough. The first few times she was calling every couple of hours to check in on her.
Who would've thought that Annah would be such a protective mother? "Okay," She backed down, knowing that the couple needed a night out on their own. "Like what?" She smirked over at Brandon as he turned his attention back to the bundle of joy in her arms. She was squealing and giggling, which was no shock to Annah. The baby girl had loved her daddy long before she left the womb. And Annah couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of love for Brandon as he cooed at Tyler.
Brandon had ended up being a better father than she ever imagined. "I love you," She smiled up at him. Then she turned her baby girl and cooed back at her. "And I love you too pretty girl,"
{{could probably time skip to dinner or right before your choice love(: }}

Brandon smirked and looked back at Annah. He loved her too. So much.
But during this time where his eyes were away from the little person, she took her chance to attack, and before he knew it, Brandon had a nice baby hand full of food-mush slapped directly onto the center of his cheek.
Brandon turned his head slowly back to look at Tyler, and she let out another excited gasp and covered her mouth, before lifting her head up to look at Annah showing off her gummy grin.
--
Later that evening, after the restaurant and a good fight to get Tyler clean in the bath, and not to mention, keeping the water in the bath and not on the floor, Brandon was finally ready, waiting downstairs and looking pretty damn good. For him anyway.
Turns out he didn't scrub up too bad when he put the effort in. Down from his hair to his converse, it had to be said; Brandon looked goooood.
He looked himself over in a mirror at the bottom of the stairs and wiped down his suit. It wasn't anything overly fancy, but something nice. He'd never owned a suit before.
The doorbell rang and he turned and went to answer it, he opened it up and was greeted with an immediate hug from Lily and a warm smile from Mary. "Hi." he said, giving the smaller girl a pat on the back. His sister's open attitude towards everything and everyone helped him with the whole 'dealing with people' thing, but he was a bit flaky when it came to anyone who he didn't really know. "Looking good brother!" Lily teased, poking at his arm and threatening to mess his hair. Mary rolled her eyes at Lily's teasing before following the girl inside. "You do look very handsome Brandon." she said reassuringly as Brandon closed the door behind her.
Lily bounced off into the kitchen, making herself at home, as usual while Mary stayed by Brandon, looking at him now with an excitement gleam in her eyes. "So, you ready for tonight?" she asked quietly, giving him a small nudge.
Brandon scratched the side of his head a little and gave a small smile. "As I'll ever be." he said simply, biting the inside of his lip and brushing down his jacket, again.
The older woman smiled and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "Ohh, don't worry, sweetie, it'll all go fine.." she said, grinning at him. "So. Where's little Tyler?" this time speaking louder, so to be heard by Annah and Tyler upstairs.

Back at home, their home, Annah was cleaning up the place a bit. Between work and Tyler, well cleaning wasn't always at the top of the list.
And the last thing she wanted was Mary coming in and thinking she wasn't doing a up to par job at playing mommy. She loved the woman, but she had it all. The nice house, the richy husband, people to clean for her- She just wanted accepted into the Lane's family. Not to be seen as some trashy outsider that suckered their long lost son/step son into staying with her by getting pregnant.
Or something.
When Brandon brought out Tyler, all nice and clean, Annah smiled. All her past worries flooded away, as she held her baby girl in her arms. "Go get ready, I'll get her dressed." Annah had no clue where they were going. She was told to get pretty and that was about it.
Tyler was dolled up in her PJs that said something about loving her grandma as she sat on Annah's lap. She was getting herself ready.
Annah was dressed in a new short, red strapless dress and black heels. Something she had never really done. Of course, she had worn dresses to her parties way back when. (Or what felt like a lifetime ago at least), but those were more slutty dresses. And the heels thing was new, because once you were drunk and stoned...well her shoes never lasted long.
Her hair was wavy, hanging at her shoulders and her face was only slightly covered in makeup. She never needed much.
Annah was finished getting ready by the time that she heard Lily's voice ringing out downstairs and Mary asking where Tyler was.
Annah lifted them up and headed down the steps, looking absolutely glowing, with baby Tyler in her arms. "Hey Mary," She glanced around, looking for Lily. But instantly knew- Kitchen.
Her face lit up with a smile as the five month old reached up for Marys arms.

Brandon looked up as he heard footsteps and felt himself blush at the sight.
They'd been together what, barely a year? And even now, after doing the whole, living together, and even having a BABY. She still, still gave him that ridiculous feeling in the pit of his stomach.
Mary looked over at Brandon's face and smirked before holding her arms out to Tyler to mirror her movement.
"You look.. beautiful." Brandon said, not meaning to sound surprised, but he couldn't help staring, repeatedly looking her up and down.
Tyler squealed in agreement, looking at her dad's reaction and then her mom before burying her head in her grandma's shoulder. Lily came in from the kitchen with a big glass of juice and instantly started talking to Tyler, before looking at Annah and making something of a squealing noise herself. "I take it back Brandon, she looks good!" she said, her smile wide, admiring the red dress and heels. "You look hot Annah!"
Mary let out a tired laugh and gave Lily a nudge. "You both look stunning, now for goodness sake just go have a good time. You've both earned it." she said, smiling and indicating at the small girl in her arms who had begun to eat at her hair.
Brandon smirked, showing a glimpse of his perfectly white teeth. "Be good. And see you later little baby." he said pressing a light kiss to his daughter's head before turning to Annah. "Ready?"

Annah handed the baby off to Mary and smiled as Brandon looked at her, almost stunned. "Just cause I had a baby doesn't mean I can't still look stunning." She giggled.
Then Lily ran over to them and started running her mouth about how beautiful she was. "Thanks sweetie, you look quite cute yourself. Theres a bag upstairs with some things from the salon that I think you might like," She nudged her before pecking her on the head.
"Thanks Mary, really." Annah offered her a sincere smile before sliding her hand into Brandons, his perfect smile sending her heart soaring. "Yes, be good." She kissed her baby too before nodding and pulling Brandon out the door.
"Sooo you gonna tell me where we're going yet?" Annah said just as their door shut behind them.

Brandon smirked and gave her hand a light squeeze as they walked out the door. "Nope." he said simply, pulling his car keys out from his pocket and getting in behind the wheel.
"You're just gonna have to wait." he said smirking, knowing that patience wasn't one of the traits that belonged to Annah Martin.
The drive was short-ish, about 15 minutes, but probably felt like longer to Annah as she had no clue where they were going. Eventually they turned up at what looked like a park and Brandon got out of the car. He opened up the back and pulled out a picnic basket that he had put in just after giving Tyler a bath. Walking around to her side he opened up her door and held out his hand. "Let's go." he said, smiling a little.
Okay, so the idea was old school, and he was risking it all a little knowing how easily bored Annah could get, but old school was how he worked, he didn't really get new fancies like, social networking, or phones that could do more than make calls and send messages, and he was slowly getting the hand of camera phones- Annahs influence there, obviously. But this was something new that he hoped she'd like.
They walked through a black Juliet styled arch amongst the greenery and walked through a small garden with a fountain big enough to swim in, and flowers of every color and type growing around it. They walked through another arch and got to a relatively clear grassy area, and there were a few other people dotted around in the distance, some on their own, some with other people, sitting on the grass and facing one general direction.
Brandon placed the basket down and pulled out a thin blanket and lay it out next to the basket. He sat down on the end of it and patted the space next to him. "Come on," he said, waving down to her a little, "It's about to start."
On the wall of the building opposite then, a big image was projected onto it and a film began- it was an old-ish film, but one of Annah's favorites, he remembered her saying some time ago. Brandon had never seen it, but said he should, and probably would some day.
He looked over at Annah and smiled, wondering this was beating or losing to her expectations of the night.

"Braaaaandon." She groaned. Of course, she pulled an annoyed face- But she was anything but that. Being the most impatient person alive, she was chewing on the inside of her cheek and looking around the entire fifteen minute drive, which felt like hours.
But when she looked around, seeing it was a park, she had to admit- She was a tad confused. She was all dressed up, expecting a high end resteraunt that was recommended by Mary and the father. But Brandon was at her side, pulling her up and out of the car.
He had a basket in hand, which she hadn't noticed until they were walking through the arches.
It didn't take long before they were at the spot that Brandon had obviously chosen.
Annah had been quiet since they left the car. Not because she wasn't happy or anything. This was beautiful. She shouldn't be surprised, it was definitely Brandon.
"Start?" She turned to sit down next to him, folding her legs behind her- since she was in a dress.
"Whats about to start?" Being Annah, she couldn't just wait and see, she had to ask the same question- Multiple times, until either someone answered or it happened.
Annah curled up next to Brandon, in his arms. "Brandon, whats going--" Then a flicker and a movie clicked on across the way on a wall.
A smile curled up her lips as she realized what movie it was. One of her all-time favorites. Something she had watched once with her grandmother when she was very little and hadn't seen since her middle-school years.
"Brandon.." She whispered, turning to look at him as he smiled down at her.
"...This is amazing." She reached up, cupping his face in her hands as she placed a small kiss to his lips. But she quickly turned back to face the wall, watching the beginning of the film.
Yeah, this beat any five star resteraunt.

Brandon noticed her lack of speech, and found it slightly worrying, since the woman usually never shut up.
Once she had sat down, his opened up the basket and took out the general assortment of food that he had prepared (with the help of Mary and Lily) and a bottle of wine. He bit his lip and turned his head to look at her when she whispered his name. He smirked as she reached up and pulled his face into a small kiss. And breathed a silent thanks to the God's for her liking it. "You're amazing." he whispered back, smiling a little before leaning back on his arms and paying attention to the film as well.
The film was pretty good. Brandon was a little surprised he actually paid attention to all of it, since usually he lost plots of movies because his mind had wandered off half way through it because of plot hole, or dialogue, or bit of the story that hadn't made sense to him. But no, this one was good.
They went through the majority of the food during the film, leaving now only some strawberries, cream and maybe a quarter, if that, of the wine bottle.
Brandon was lying down completely on the blanket now and watched as the credits rolled up on the wall, and the people around them started to leave. He had taken off his jacket and folded it up, using it as a pillow. He brought his hand up to the jacket and patted it, feeling his stomach turn slightly as he felt the small box in the pocket. Bringing his hand back to his stomach he turned his head to look up at Annah. "Still like the movie as much as before?" he asked, knowing that she hadn't watched it in a long while.

Annah picked through the food, completely engrossed in the movie. She loved it just as much as she had twelve or so years ago.
And with Brandon's arms around her, it was only ten times better. This was pretty much perfect. One of her favorite films, in a park, snuggled up with her amazing boyfriend, and some really good foods.
Not to mention the wine.
When the movie finally finished she turned around, curling her legs behind her, she grabbed the wine and finished off the last bit of it before smiling down at Brandon, who was now laying on his back.
"Of course, you only made it a hundred times better," Annah moved to lay down by Brandon, slowly stroking his cheek. "This was the perfect night out,"
Little did she know- It wasn't over yet.
"When do we have to be back for Mary and Lily to head home?"
