Riley's P.O.V

"Louis!" I screamed out through the enormous house as water splashed me in the face and giggles flooded the room. I struggled holding back Jacob from leaving the tub, Aspen got a laugh out of it and started throwing water at us and Trent joined in.

Louis came running down the halls as Aspen got a toy bucket of water and poured it on us.
All of them froze as Louis entered the room, he looked at them. I got up from the floor and wiped up the water, suddenly Trent threw a rubber duck at Louis.

"Atwack da da." Trent screamed running at Louis, he ran out of the room and into the hall. The rest of them joined him chasing their father through the house naked.

I climbed down the steps seeing, Ryan, Zayn, Liam, Niall, Harry, and Vince downstairs.
Just then my naked kids ran through the room with bath toys, Louis was covered in bubbles and so was I.

"I hope you're not here for something important," a nerf bullet hit my head and stayed there, "there was a problem during bath time."

"For the glowy of Grwiffyndoor," Aspen yelled grabbing onto my leg. "Momma you can't touch the hot wava!"

Luckily Louis came to pick her up, walking back upstairs to get them dressed. I sat down wiping some bubbles off of my shoulder. We sat in silence until Harry blurted out
"Victoria died."

I stared at all of them, their heads were down, I hoped that this wasn't a joke. Death to Victoria was a joke, I looked at Zayn and he nodded slowly .

"How? I mean she couldn't have just...how?" I said trying to let it set in.

"Her uncle killed her, I don't know why but he did, he was arrested this morning."Liam answered. Aspen jumped in my lap and wrapped her tiny arms around me.

"What's wrong momma?" She asked hugging me and kissing me cheek. I smiled at her, she had blue eyes like Louis and curly hair with two small dimples in her cheeks.

"Mommy is alright, why don't you go get your father for me." I said rubbing her small back.

"Okay," she stayed on my lap and took a large breath,"Louis!" She yelled out loud, everyone laughed as Louis came downstairs.

"Yeah babe?" He looked at me, Aspen giggled covering her mouth, "was that you, sound just like mum don't you, call your brothers."

"Trent, Jacob downstairs now!"She yelled giggling and hiding her face in Louis' chest. They came down clothed, and jumped on the couch staring at me. Aspen laughed in Louis' shirt, she was a little ball of sunshine.

"I can't believe you guys out of all people are parents," Liam said shaking his head as Louis attempted to do Aspen's hair, "I can believe Ryan and Zayn, because look at Vince.

"Sorry but he's going to be corrupted." Louis said flipping through the television.

"By who exactly." Ryan said giving him a confused look. Louis subtly pointed to Trent and Jacob who waved and smiled at her.

"Mum you should get dressed." Jacob said looking at me with his dark brown eyes, he tugged on my arm pulling me up. I didn't protest, I walked upstairs quickly throwing some clothes on and coming back down.

Now they were all at the door, there was something going on that I didn't know about.
They all waited for me to hit the last step, then Trent grabbed my hand leading me out the door and into the car.

We drove for a couple of hours until we reached a building, with large glass windows covering the front. Walking in I recognized it immediately, it was The X office. We ran up a couple of flights til Zayn opened a door that lead outside.

"We thought that since all of us were up here together today three years ago, September 20 2014 that we should make it special." Zayn spoke leading every on to the middle of the roof.

I looked down at the ground, there was an engraved message on it that said 'The land of the misfit toys' with our signatures around it.
Under it it had September 20, and underneath that was 1999•2014•2017.

"This is amazing guys I love you all so much."
I said hugging them and kissing Louis.

"Hey!" Trent said with his arms crossed and a pout forming on his lips. Ever since he was born he was jealous of Louis, he was my baby and he was a mommy's boy.

I kissed his nose and he giggled, we set out a picnic away from the edges of the roof because with four three year olds this was a dangerous place .

"I want to be a drawer like you and mommy." Vince said staring at Zayn with a sandwich halfway in his mouth.

"You will be bud." Zayn said sitting him on his lap, I say back resting my head on Louis' shoulder.

"So do I, but like daddy"Jacob squealed jumping up and down.

"Me too."Trent added sitting up quickly, jumping with him.

"I don't, I wanna be a princess like mommy."Aspen said taking a bite of her sandwich. Louis picked her small figure up and into his lap.

"You're all becoming fútbol players it's settled,"
Louis tickled Aspen, kissing her forehead as she squirmed, "I just need to get mommy to give me maybe eight more kids."

I slapped his shoulder and rolled my eyes. "I'm done Louis, you have two more coming and that's it." I was not having eight kids, these three were enough as it is.

"I didn't think that Louis would have so many kids and Zayn would have one," Niall said drinking some of his beer, "I thought that Zayn would have more than Lou."

Trent climbed into my lap and curled up with his head on my chest, this was his way of saying 'I'm sleepy'. I cradled him as he yawned.

"What can I say Riley loves it without a con-" I smacked him upside his head, he held the back of his head and smiled.

"Don't finish that sentence." I said seeing Aspen sound asleep in Louis' lap and Jacob playing on my phone.

"Condom." Louis said backing away from me, I closed my eyes hoping that none of them heard him.

"Mommy what's a condom." Jacob said sitting up, I breathed out. Louis tried to hold his laughter in but I swear I'm going to kill him when we get home.

"You'll learn about in when your older but promise me this," Aspen opened her eyes slowly, Trent looked up at me and Vince turned to me,"when all of you are older you'll come up here and just enjoy the view, because you are in the land of the misfit toys."

I knew none of them understood what I was saying but it was the thought that really counted, I loved these kids and I trusted them to have the tradition go on even if they don't care about eachother anymore. This roof means the world to their parents.

The parents that have been through something like a dramatic, romantic comedy with a bit of action. Or maybe just a movie about a bunch of teenagers with tons of issues.
