The trip had been planned for days. Tyler was growing fast and at 4 months had outgrown his second size of clothes. So even though the teething and sniffles had worn all three of them out the young family decided to take a trip to the mall. The changing bag with diapers, bottle, jars and the favourite stuffed bunny had been packed two days before just to make sure they didn't forget anything this time and had to face another poopy diaper or no milk catastrophy. At first Brian had been in quite good humour despite the four hours of sleep he had gotten but when the little guy decided to throw his food up on thwe Skyline seats, which gave the whole car a stinging, sour smell, he wasn#t all that happy anymore. A little sour he used wet wiped to clean up the seat while Mi unbuckled their son. "Okay, let's get this done." He said as he dropped the wipes in a garbage can and took the baby carrier out of the trunk. Hopefully Mi would strap it on. "Do you want to?"

A A simple outting had turned into a battle, Mia knew they should have held of untill they all had, had some more sleep and for when Tyler was feeling better, but he was running out of cloths that fit and Brian had thought it would be a way to keep them all awake,and well sane. Licking her lips she watched him clean the back seat of the Skyline before she once moe fastened Tyler into the car.
"We can wait untill later" She stated softly as she slid into the passenger seat of the car, oblivious to the smell.

Brian didn't understand why she got back in. "Well, we're already here, we might as well buy some clothes that fit and don't have puke on them." His tone gave away his annoyance. Apparently his wife wasn't about to strap the baby carrier on so Brian did. the struggle with the buckles and straps had him growling. "Good I need a beer, or better a bottle of Whiskey to stay sane! C'mon, Mia, let's go."

Mia laughed shaking her head as she bumped her hip agaisnt hisi and pushed him out of the way softly, and helped him strap the child in. With a smile she wrapped her arm around his body and with the other hand began to push Tyler forward. " I told you to wait untill he was better" She whispered with a soft smile, the tiredness evident in her eyes.
"Tell you what how bout having something really strong when you get back, plus a nice long bath and massage"

"Oh." he groaned and let his knees buckle under the enourmous weight of the baby. "You don#t know how good that sounds." Brian leaned forward to quickly place a kiss on her lips before they went inside. "But you don#t have to. You're really tired, too."
Inside the mall they passed all the shops they used to go to before they became parents like a surf store, underwear.... "How do you feel about getting a baby sitter...like on a regular basis. This is wearing us both out and we still have our jobs."

Mia smiled, licking her lips as she lookde at him, with a raised brow she furrowed her lips, "I dont know" SHe addmitted, furrowing her brow slightly more, "I mean i dont, i wouldnt trust any one else" She let out a sigh and shook her head, "I mean i guess DOm wouldnt mind" With a breath she let out a sigh and led him into the first store, heading straight for the baby section.
"What about this one" She questioned holding up a cute litte outfit, consiting of jeans and a little cute shirt.

"I really don#t care who it is as long as we get some time off." he yawned demonstratively. Tyler was struggling to get his small arm out of the carrier he'd been strapped into and started whining. brian rolled his eyes and was bouncing up and down to soothe him. Over the noise he replied. "Whatever, sure it's cute." he grabbed another one from the rack and compared with a third one. It was a small plaid shirt and cordroy pants. "That one as well if he throws uo again." The little one looked up at him with tears in his baby blue eyes and Brian instantly melted. He just couldn't be mad a him for long even if his nerves were wrecked. His hand ran over the soft curly hair. "Diapers, milk....you know...the whole lot."
On their way to the next section he added. "never in a million years did I expect this to be so...exhausting."

Mia looked over at Brian, he was tired, dead on his feet tired, she could se it in his eyes, his features, the way he was acting, or not acting as the case may be. WIth a furrowed brow she licked her lips she grabbed the shirt she had chosen as well as teh ones he had picked up. "How bout you head home, ill get Jack or Lee to pick me up" She suggested, it seemed Brian was more tired then her and she was expecting him to drop at any moment.
Wrapping an arm around his wasit she stopped only long enough to kiss him, before leading him in the direction of the rest of the store, grabbing the things they needed.

"No." brian shook his head. "I'm not leaving you here all by yourself. We're in this together." It sounded as if they were on top of Mount Everest but it was how he felt. "I'm just going to go grab a coffee. Do you want one as well?" Before she could even answer Brian was on his way to Starbucks with the kids still strapped on. Waiting in line with the whining baby felt like somebody was taking a saw to his nerves and slowly cut them one by one. He gave the people waiting before him an apologetic look until a young guy asked whether he wanted to go ahead and place his order. Finally he received his two tall Mochas when Tyler had the brilliant idea wo wiggle his arms and knock on out of his hand. In an attempt to safe the boy from the burning hot liquid he twisted enough to catch the coffee with his own side rather than burning the baby. "Ouch, shiittt, damnit." he more or less shouted through the whole place getting more attention than he wanted. The friendly lady behind the counter immediately jumped towards him with a wet towel trying to wipe him down and safe the baby from falling out of the carrier because his father was jumping around like the easter bunny.
About 5 minutes later Brian showed up in the baby food section again, carrying Tyler on one arm, the coffee and a very sour look on his face. He didn't even care to pretend he was okay any more. "The kid is driving me insane, I swear!"

Mia furrowed her brow, she didnt even have time to answer the question before he rushed of, baby still strapped to his chest. It was actually a really bad idea that he left her because she doubled back towards teh cloths. She always enjoyed dressing babies, and now she had her own it was even worse, with a soft smile, she felt fabrics as she moved past, picking up some extra tops, jeans and shoes as she went.
Yet she couldnt stop thinkig about what Brian had said to her, or well suggested any way, someone to watch over Tyler, could she really hand that responsbilty over, especially now, with everything going of, sure she was tired, but that was all apart of being a mum. SHe sighed, and turned almost bumping into Brian.
"He's meant to" She muttered, dropping a kiss to the top her son's head, her hand, lingering on his soft hair, her gaze shifted up, landing on the frazzeled looking Brian. "You look beat, look i got everything we need, let me pay and well head home"

"I don't want to go home!" He exclaimed a little too fast. It sounded terrible. Their home was their castle but Brian was glad to be out. "I swear I'll go crazy if I sit at home with him fuzzing any longer. I need to get out of the house today!" He ran both hands over his head and sighed. "Oh my, am i ever being selvish, I I I, sorry, Mia." He grabbed her hand and noticed the bundle of clothes. a slight smirk crossed his features. "I see you're having a good time, eh?"

Mia hadnt expected the reaction from Brian but she couldnt blame him not really, with Tyler being ill the way he had over the last couple of days, being traped in the house was a nightmare, they werent sleeping, and were constantly up with their crying little bundle of joy, who as of late wasnt so much a bundle.
Laughing she looked down at the cloths and nodded her head, "Yea" She draw her lip between her teeth and smiled up at Brian, a twinkle in her eye, "He's growing so fast ya know" She headed towards the checkout, with Brian following at her side.
"Okay so where do you want to go"She questioned, once they were paid.

"Do you have everything you need for him?" Absentmindedly Brian skipped ahead in the row of waiting people at the check out. A lady was giving him an annoyed look until she noticed the baby and started doing the 'baby talk', which apparantly amused the little guy. "Oh, how cute..what a pretty little baby." Brian now noticed the red haired woman. "Oh yeah?, you can have him, if you want to." he joked. He'd never give Tyler up in a million years but right now he was nerve wrecked.

Mia smiled, not really listen to the red head speak baby to her child, she handed over the cloths to the woman behind the counter, paid and then turned her gaze over to Brian.
"Yea, everything i think" SHe stated trying to think of the list she had in her mind, then looke at the bags on the pram, she smiled, nodding again. "Yep all done" Licking her lips she turned her gaze over to Brian.
"SO food?"

When the woman just gave him an irritated look he turned to face the cashier. "Sorry, how much? 127 dollars, hm." he handed her the card. having a kid was more expensive than he had thought. "I think I need to put in an extra shift tomorrow." He commented and headed out of the store. "Food court? Sushi, Burgers...?" His eyes were glued to Mia for a moment. she looked tired yet she had a certain glow and feminine touch that made her stand out. brian couldn't help but smile and kiss her. "Gorgeous."

Mia blushed at his words, kissing him back for a moment before the thought of food became to much to bare, and soon enogh Tyler would start wanting his as well, so she wanted to get their food out of the way before he started fussing.
"Burgers" SHe stated with a smile, walking in the direction of where they wold get the food. "How bout i take the shift tonight, so you can get some sleep" She questoned with a raised brow, "Or we could pack him of to Faye and Jacks"

"Are you ready to try that?" He wondered. Without noticing it he ran his hand over Tylers hair. "Or better...will they survive that?"
At the food court the young family headed to the burger place called Dickies. "Three large bacon Burgers and fries and ...?" brian stepped aside for Mia.

"Cheeseburer, extra fries"

"Hm.Can you imagine my brother with a kid? he's going to be pissdrunk by the time we get home to blend out the crying. Fay's going to have to do it all." He received their tray and handed the lady ten dollars. After they found a table in the busy place he unbuckled the carrier on his front and took Tyler out who immidiately thanked him with a cry. "I know buddy, you want a burger, too but you gotta have some teeth first." With the kid cradled in his arm he reached for a burger and took a big bite. It tasted like meat, tomatoes, relaxation, satisfaction,...good. With a moan he sank against the back of the chair and rolled his eyes. After swallowing the first bite he asked. "How is all of this for you?"

Mia shook her head, she found it highly amusing that Brian thought that way about his brother when many people would have said the same abotu him, and he had turned into a great father, she smiled at him, and shook her head, watching as he carrie the baby and attempted to juggle the food, she would have helped him if she didnt find the entire thing so amusing.
"You think so highly of your brother Brian its touching" She stated, sarcasim dripping from her words, "I think you'll find Jack would be amazing with Tyler" She stated sliding into a seat, her gaze shifting over towards Tyler who was finally free, and none to happy, with a breath she shifted her weight and removed the burdon from his fathers hands,one hand wrapping around his body, hte ohter one aroud her burger, she grabbed a bite before rummaing around the baby bag for the bottle.
"I love it" She commented, dark eyes sparkling.
