Breaking barriers

5- Uncles

Delilah squeals as the doorbell sounds through the house. "Daddy!" She yells as she runs into the kitchen where Luke is making breakfast. He chuckles.

"You wanna go get that babe?" She tugs on his shirt and whines when he doesn't give his attention to her immediately.

He laughs at her as she tries to jump on him and picks her up midair, making her squeal as he carries her to the door.

She crawls from his hip under his arm so she's on his back instead, hiding behind him and peeking over his shoulder.

Luke opens the door to his three best friends who are excitedly waiting, and they all coo when the see the black haired girl hiding behind the blonde.

"This is Delilah." Luke chuckles as he strives to pull her back in front of him, but she clings around his neck.

"Cmon, babygirl." Luke coaxes, all the boys chuckling and cooing. Delilah squeaks when Luke softly pinches her side, tickling her, and she finally cooperates and scoots around to Luke's hip, smiling curiously at the new men.

"Can you say uncle, baby? Say uncle." Luke chuckles as the little girl blushes.

"Daddy..." She mumbles quietly, glancing at the blonde for reassurance.

"Dont be shy." Luke laughs. "Say uncle."

"U-uck..." she giggles. "Uck."

"Oh my god she's cute. Can I see her?" Ashton asks as he holds his arms out. Luke looks to Delilah who looks at the curly headed green eyed man. Shy shy leans forward and lets the tan man take her, and he 'aww's along with the other boys.

"Say uncle." He smiles, and Delilah giggles, not really understanding the way he talks as well as the way Luke's more familiar voice was recognized by her ears.

"Say uncle, Delilah." Luke chuckles, and she glances at him.

"No." Her green eyes sparkle with mischief, knowing the blonde doesn't like it when she says no.

"What do you mean no?" Luke laughs with the other boys. "Say uncle."

"Uckle." She giggles.

"Good girl." Luke chuckles. Delilah reaches out to the next boy, Michael, who gladly takes her. Her eyes and hands immediately go to his fluffy blue hair, and Luke gasps.

"Delilah, blue!" The girl raises an eyebrow and plays with the mans hair.

"I'm trying to teach her colors, we tried blue yesterday, but I don't think she quite understood." Luke smiles as he watches her fluff up and ruffle the colorful hair.

"How's she been so far?" Calum asks, smiling at the mentioned girl as he tucks his hands in his pockets.

"Surprisingly good, actually. She whines quite a bit, but that's reasonable considering it's about the only way she can communicate. She's thrown a few fits, and unfortunately caught onto the word 'no' pretty quickly. But she's sweet and happy. She's taken it all pretty well, considering." Luke smiles proudly. "God, though, I was so scared I wouldn't be able to do it. I still am, but she's good, I think with any other sub it could've been a lot harder." The body all smile fondly, and then Luke adds.

"Accept bedtime. She's absolute hell at bedtime. She is the reincarnation of Satan once the clock hits 9:00." Luke narrows his eyes, and Delilah glances at him mischievously, as if she knows what's he's talking about.
