Chapter 1

A heavy sigh leaves my lips, as I turn to my side and look at my sleeping husband next to me. His brown hair messily covers his forehead, and his eyes are completely shut. His mouth slightly hangs open as light snores echo through the large bedroom.

I reach my free arm over his plain chest, and run my acrylic nails through his hair and down his cheeks causing him to stir. Only a matter of seconds later his eyes open and he turns his attention to me.

"Good morning," Niall says groggily, giving me a tired smile.

"Morning," I say softly, looking at him with a smile.

Niall turns onto his side, scooting closer to me so that our lips are almost touching. He knows I don't like to kiss right after waking up, that morning breath is something I despise.

"Can you believe were getting the kids back today?" I ask him, containing to caress his cheek with my nails.

A groan escapes his lips, making me chuckle, "Jess, babe, please don't remind me of the sugared chaos that we are going to have to deal with later today."

A laugh escapes my mouth, as his arm wraps around my lower waist, pulling me into his embrace. I watch as he bends down towards my neck, lightly pressing his lips against me. A sigh filled with content leaves my lips, as he moves further down.

Without any warning, the door of our bedroom bursts open and revealing three kiddos that are running into the direction of our bed. Loud screams and squeals erupt their mouth and Niall immediately pulls his head back up, covering my naked chest with our comforter.

"Mummy! Daddy!" My youngest cheers as he rushes over to us, jumping between us.

Laughter escapes my mouth as I wrap my arms around him, hugging him tightly, "How was grandma's? Did she spoil you?"

"Mum, you know what Grandma is like. Sugar, sugar, sugar," Sydney, my eldest says,  chuckling as she sits down on the edge of the mattress. My middle child, Emma, sits down next to Niall, hugging him immediately.

"Alright kiddos, mum is naked so can we please give her some privacy?" Niall says as he pulls away from Emma, and grabbing Nathan from my arms. Nathan squeals as Niall starts tickling him to get him off of me.

"Ew, mum," Emma says scrunching up her nose in disgust.

I roll my eyes at their reactions before Niall tells them to get out once again. When they're out, Niall pulls the comforter from my body and grabs me by my hips, placing me on top of his very naked lap.

Niall gently kisses my cheek and then my forehead, "Alright, that was sooner than expected. Go brush your teeth so I can kiss you good morning and then we'll make the kids some food?"

A smile reaches my lips as I look down at my husband. I love him with all my heart. The way he takes care of our kids, the way he takes care of me. The way he does almost anything makes my heart beat faster, even after all these years.

"I love you," I whisper.

"And I love you."

Not only twenty minutes later, everyone is sitting at the dining table talking while I finish doing the dishes from breakfast. The kids are talking to Niall about what they did with my mom this past weekend, and I can't help but listen in on them. They are always so excited to share what they've done with my mom. I never thought that my mom would become the cool grandma.

When everyone finishes, Niall is back in the kitchen helping me. We have a dishwasher, I just tend to the dishes myself while I listen to the kids. It's something that has always kept me at peace.
