read a/n at the end because some of y'all be leaving me on one-end conversations.

paisley

i wake up in the middle of the night from a nightmare. i crawl down my ladder that is attached to my bed and walk over to my fish tank.

i sit down in front of it and look at bubbles and rock. "why are you up." i say to the fish. "sleep." i say as i stand back up and walk to my door.

i open the door and walk to the kitchen to get a snack.

i open the freezer and see some icecream. "ooh!" i say as i grab the icecream and close the freezer.

i get a spoon and i crawl onto the table by standing on the chairs. i start eating my icecream.

suddenly, i hear footsteps coming down the stairs.

"paisley, what are you doing?" finneas whispers. "eating." i say back. "at two in the morning?" he whisper shouts. "yes." i say as i eat another spoonful.

"why are you up?" finneas asks, sitting down in a chair. "i had a nightmare." i say as i look at him. "what was it about?" he asks. "monsters." i say as i continue to eat my icecream.

"paisley, i can't take you seriously while you're eating icecream on the table at two in the morning." finneas chuckles as he takes the spoon from my hand.

"hey!" i say as i try to reach back to grab my spoon. "you've had enough icecream." finneas laughs as he puts the spoon in the sink and the icecream back in the freezer.

finneas picks me up. "what do you say we go on a midnight car ride? i'm not sleepy anyways." he suggests. "yeah!" i say and clap.

"let's go put on your shoes and hoodie." he says as he walks to my room.

"uncle finnus, will mommy be mad we left?" i ask from the backseat of the car. "at me, yes." finneas says as he looks in the rear view mirror.

"i'm hungry." i say simply. "paisley, you just had icecream." finneas says. "and?" i say and stare at finneas. "you want some nachos or something?" finneas asks. "yes, please." i say and smile.

"to taco bell then." finneas says as he turns a corner.

"paisley, come sit on my lap because i don't trust you enough to eat and not to spill your nachos." finneas calls from the table.

i stop wondering around and run over to him and he picks me up and sits me in his lap.

"don't get it on your hoodie." finneas says as he takes a bite of his burrito.

(not even gonna lie i had to ask my mom if taco bell has burritos i've never eaten there)

i eat one of my nachos and take a sip of finneas' drink. "is it good?" he asks. "mhm." i say as i eat another nacho.

"so paisley, you're birthday is in two days, what do you want?" finneas asks, taking a sip of his drink. i think for a bit. i gasp. "a sister!" i say and smile.

finneas chokes on his drink. "paisley, think of something else." he says as he recovers himself.

"then i don't know." i say and shrug. "keep thinking, maybe you might come up with something." finneas says as he finishes his food. "okay." i say as i eat some more of my nachos.

"how much money you wanna bet that billie knows we were gone for an hour?" finneas asks, taking me out my car seat.

"ten!" i respond, that's the biggest number i know. "deal." finneas says and laughs as he picks me up.

finneas opens the door and walks in. he quietly shuts the door and locks it.

"i guess she's still asleep." he says as he looks around the kitchen. finneas walks out of the kitchen and goes to the door that enters my room.

he slowly opens the door. "it's dark." he says as he turns on the light. we then look to my bed and see something sitting on it.

"i spoke to soon." finneas says as he sets me down on the floor.

"finneas, where have you two been? i got worried for no reason." billie says as she gets down from my bed and walks over to me.

she picks me up and kisses my nose. "we may or may not have went to taco bell?" finneas trails off. "i had nachos." i say and smile.

"finneas it's three in the morning!" billie shouts. "it's not my fault paisley was chilling on the kitchen counter at two in the morning eating icecream!" finneas says back.

"hey!" i shout in protest. "she's a smart two year old, what do you expect?" billie responds. "you're a grown man, dude." she adds.

"i'm also older than you, therefore, this conversation is done." finneas says, walking out the door. billie sighs and looks at me.

"was your food good?"
