They Don't Want Me

   “Oh god,” I sighed putting my hand to my head,

   “What?” Niall poked his head around the door of the girls’ bedroom, I stared at him as if to say ‘are you kidding me’

   “Look,” I pointed around their room, “What am I supposed to do with all this stuff?” Their room was completely full of toys, but not just toys, pink toys. Pink. I cannot stand the colour pink, don’t get me wrong I’m grateful for all the pretty little things that everyone got for the three of them. But I would appreciate it if I could move around and actually get to my children.

   “Use it,” Niall suggested, I glared at him,

   “Niall, I need helpful suggestions,”

   “That was a helpful suggestion…” Niall muttered, I glared at him again and this time Niall held his hand up in surrender before backing out of the room, “I’m gonna go,”

   “Alright you go then.” I murmured to him, luckily, Niall had vanished before he’d heard my snarky comment.

   The last couple of days, had been chaos. First Christmas, then Boxing day. The girls had been great though apart from now they were totally exhausted, as was I. But on the plus side they’d been sleeping through the night now, although I knew that wouldn’t last too much longer.

   “I should go,” I told myself heading to my bedroom, “No, no I really shouldn’t,” I turned back to the girls’ room, “Yes I should,” I turned, “Nope,” Sighing, I told myself that I should just get it over and done with, I had to see them and if I went now, it would be over quicker, right? Yes.

   Inhaling a painfully large lump of air, I waltzed into my bedroom and changed into something more…comfortable. Settling on a dark pair of jeans and a baggy yet warm knitted jumper, I pulled my clean boots onto my feet and snatched my coat from where it had been resting in my wardrobe. With that, I ran down the stairs.

   The girls were in various people’s laps in the front room, I flew into the front room and over to Eleanor who was cuddling Jaime,

   “Hey El,” I was breathless, I really needed to do some exercise,

   “Alright Bobbie?” Eleanor asked looking at me like I was completely crazy, “Going somewhere?”

   I nodded, “Yeah, I was hoping, you could look after the girls, with Louis?” I suggested,

   “Um…”

   “Come on,” I urged, “The two of you are always going on about how you need the practice…” Eleanor was caving, I could see it in her eyes,

   “Fine,” Eleanor sighed,

   “Great,” I smiled, “There’s milk in the fridge, nappies are upstairs. You know what you’re doing right?” I asked suddenly feeling unsure, Eleanor tapped her stomach,

   “Yup, we’ll be fine, and the guys are here. Where are you going?” Eleanor asked curiously,

   “I umm…I’m….Just out…”

   Eleanor’s eyebrow flickered, “Right…”

   “I won’t be too long, call me if there’s a problem,” I said before grabbing a pair of keys and nearing the door,

   “We will!” Eleanor called out after me, I waved quickly at Jaime who wriggled in her lap and left. That was the worst moment of my life because I then walked with a smack into Aria, with Harry right behind her, Aria dropped her bag and the contents to the floor,
