My first idea for this came when I started watching Liv and Maddie in order on Netflix before Christmas. And then Diggie and Maddie broke up in the show and my heart broke a little (I love Josh and I think he's sweet and hilarious, but Diggie is a sweet dork and I love him just as much). The idea still remained. It changed and adjusted, but it never fully went away. I hadn't thought about it in a while though.

That is until Ryan and Dove got engaged last week (which is actually kinda creepy because I made a passing comment to my friend hours before that they should get married), which is ridiculously adorable. They make such a cute couple and they seem very happy, so congratulations to them!

Anyway, the urge to write a Miggie story came back in full force (and my friend asked), so here I am. The story is in its final form, including Liv and Holden, regardless of Diggie and Maddie breaking up and Josh and the Rooneys moving to LA in season 4.

And no, this won't be regularly updated.

Thanks to Amber for helping me come up with jobs for these dorks.

Enjoy!

(I'm sorry. I have a problem with giving my OTPs children.)


"How are you feeling?"

"Okay... tired, mostly."

"I could put her in her room if you want to get some sleep?" Diggie offered.

Maddie shook her head. "No, that's okay."

"You sure?"

"Yeah..." She was exhausted, but couldn't fathom putting her newborn down for a single moment. Especially because the baby was holding one of her fingers in its own.

They had gotten home from the hospital maybe two hours ago and Maddie had spent the entire time snuggling her daughter while Diggie had fielded phone calls and texts from their family and friends asking when they could come over and see the baby.

"Not today. Maddie's exhausted and I think all three of us need to get some sleep." he had repeated at least a dozen times.

Liv had told them to wait a day before letting Parker and Joey and their parents come visit and the day following that one for friends. She hadn't waited that long and ended up asleep by the time Holden's parents had made it over. She also said to not be afraid to kick people out when it got to be too much.

Maddie had liked that idea. She had seen her sister stretched thinner than ever that first week her and Holden's daughter Charlotte was home. Liv had tried to make everyone happy at once and had driven herself into a wall in the process. She hadn't even had the chance to enjoy having Charlotte home at the start because she spent most of the time sleeping or crying because she was so stressed out. It had only been a month ago and Liv and Holden had gotten a grip on things and no one cried at two in the afternoon when they knocked a bottle off the kitchen counter anymore thankfully, which was a major improvement.

Maddie didn't ever want to feel that way, so while she took her sister's advice with a grain of salt, she did take it.

"Our parents aren't mad that we said they have to wait untiltomorrow, are they?" Maddie asked.

"Nope," Diggie sat next to her on the bed. "They sounded a little disappointed, but both our moms said you should get some sleep before anything else. And also, they did see her yesterday.

Maddie shrugged. She kind of felt guilty for not letting them come over, but figured it was for the best. She had told Liv that she could come over, but her sister declined. Before they came home, however, Liv and Holden had tied a pink balloon to their front porch and left several balloons in their living room along with a present wrapped in pastel pink wrapping paper- a soft pastel purple baby blanket with Riley embroidered along the side.

"How's the munchkin?" Diggie asked.

"Still sleeping." Maddie said, turning her attention to little Riley. How a tiny person less than three days old could be so darn precious was beyond her understanding. All she knew is that she was fairly certain she loved Riley more than she had loved anything or anyone else in her life. Even basketball. Even Diggie. Even Liv. It was different and kind of scary, but not unwelcome. In a matter of seconds, Riley had become her entire world. And surprisingly, she was okay with that.

"She's so cute." Maddie whispered after several minutes.

"I think I know where she gets that from."

"You're such a cheese ball sometimes," Maddie rolling her eyes. She leaned against him anyway.

"But you love me." He wrapped his arm around her and held her close.

"I can't argue with that."

He chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much."

"I love you too." she replied, closing her eyes. She couldn't imagine anything more perfect.


A/N: Well, I hope you liked that utter fluff because I enjoyed myself writing it. Maddie and Diggie are too cute!
