"Cmon" Niall said pulling me through the airport I was very anxious to see my family.We were splitting Nialls 2 week break in to two christmases. Its the 23 and were in Florida to be with my family for the twins first christmas, then on Christmas Eve morning were getting a plane to Ireland to be with Nialls family. On the 28 were going back to London to be with our friends on new years eve. "Look theres my aunt!" I said pointing to my awaiting family. "Hi" I said hugging them all. "Its so great to have you here" "Oh my gosh you got so big!" I said hugging my cousins Courtney and Sammy. "Your already seven!" I said smiling. Courtney nodded "Im so excited your here Jordan!" said in her adorable voice. "Niall guess what?" Sammy asked smiling up at Niall. Niall knelt down and smiled at him "What?" "I on a baseball and soccer team!" "Wow! Way to go little buddy!" Niall said highfiving him. "Your gonna get all the ladies" he whispered loudly to him. "I know" Sammy said flashing him a thumbs up. I laughed and ruffled his hair. "We drove the other car over so you can drive that to Gammys house" my Aunt Debby said to us. "I wanna go with Niall and Jordan!" "No I do" Sammy and Court argued. "Is there enough room for the twins carseats and them?" My aunt nodded "Theres four bucket seats" I smiled "Ok cmon guys" I said tugging lightly on courtneys blonde ponytail. "Can I get a piggyback ride?" she asked smiling, her dimples showing. I crouched down and she hopped on my back, I picked up Liams carrier and we started walking. "Can I carry some of your bags?" Sammy asked. "Sure" Niall said. Sammy pulled two of our suitcases will Niall got Ariels carrier and the other bags. We went to the car and strapped the four kids in and started following my uncles car to my Gammys house. "Jordan you look really pretty" I was wearing a light pink button up coat Di got me for Christmas with black leggings and wedges. "Thanks Court, when your older you can have all the clothes of mine that you want" "Really!" "Mhm, and maybe if you and Sammy suck up to Niall and your parents you can come visit us in London" "Really!" They chorused grinning at each other. Niall nodded, chuckling as he pulled into Gammys driveway. We got all of our stuff out and went inside "hi gammy" I said hugging her "Oh Jordan I missed you sweety! Come in come in" "Hi Niall" she said hugging him aswell. Everyone was fawning over Liam and Ariel as so a we got them out of their baby carriers. It was so weird, it was my first Christmas without my mom. Niall came over and watched as my family passed around the twins. "They love you you know" I said smiling. "Ypu love me more right?" He said smiling. "Maybeee" he kissed my cheek and stuck his tongue out at me "We'll no one will ever love someone as much as I love you" Niall said making me blush. I heard a click and saw my aunt taking pictures. "I couldn't resist your just too cute" I took of my coat to reveal my cream shirt and leopard scarf. "Who wants presents?" I asked pulling the big box across the hardwood floors into the living room. "This one is for gammy" Niall and I proceeded to hand out presents to my cousins, aunts, uncles and other family members. My 24 year old cousin Lisa announced her engagement to her boyfriend Chris, they were an adorable couple. We all started opening our gifts. I opened a bag for Ariel and pulled out a little mermaid Ariel costume. "I picked it put all by myself, it's just like her name!" Courtney said kissing Ariel "she'll love it" I finished opening my presents (clothes, knickknacks, gift cards) and thanked everyone. "I made a dinner for all of us, since you won't be here tomorrow night" my gammy said, going to the kitchen. "Jordan will you help set the table" "Sure" I replied getting up. I followed her into the kitchen and asked what i should do. "I wanted to give you this in private, this was your mothers when she was your age and she would want you to have it" she said putting a beautiful charm bracelet on my wrist "oh thank you!" I said hugging her, tears building up in the corners of my eyes. "Want me to set the table?" "Sure hun" she replied smiling at me. I grabbed the plates and silverware and set them out at the huge table. "Dinners ready " I said walking into the living room where everyone was. Niall got up and handed me Ariel, with his free arm, he naked it around my waist and smiled at me "I love you" "I love you" we walked into the dining room and sat next to each other. We all started filling our plates with turkey, potatoes and vegetables. I took a spoonful of potatoes and fed them to Ariel. She smiled and tried grabbing my spoon. Niall did the same with Liam until we had finished dinner. "Um mr Niall can I get a picture wif you" my four year old 2cd cousin asked. "Sure, you can call me Niall" he said placing her on his lap. I snapped a few pictures.My cousin kissed Nialls cheek and ran off. "You get along al good with kids... And my family !" I said to Niall who chuckled "we'll they're my family now too" he said. We hung out with my family until midnight then went to bed so we would be well rested for our 8:30 flight. I watched as Niall slipped off his blue varsity jacket once we reached the guest room. He changed into sweatpants and laid on the bed. I did the same and plopped next to him "thank you" "For what?" "Everything, bringing us here so I could be with my family for Christmas" "Jordan, I wanted to. Plus I know this Christmas is hard for you since what happened with your mom" "My gammy gave me this bracelet that was my moms" I said hugging him "it's beautiful" he whispered hugging me close to him.  

The next Morning we got up and showered, I got dressed in legging and a Christmas sweater. We gathered our stuff and Liam and Ariel, then went downstairs to tell everyone goodbye. "Remember be good and you can come visit" I said to Sammy and  Court. "I hope Santa treats you good!" "Bye everyone, thanks again, have nice Christmas!" I said before leaving. My uncle drove us to the airport and waited until our flight left. "I cant wait to see your family again" I said fidgeting in the airplane seat. "Me too" Niall said adjusting his reindeer sweater. "Your such a dork" I said poking the red rudolph nose on it. "Your a dork too!" he said. I pouted, sticking my bottom lip out. "Dont worry your a pretty dork" I glared at Niall "Thanks that makes it 101% better" I said sarcastically.Niall laughed and poked my cheek. "Im gonna use the bathroom" I said to Niall, passing Ariel off to him. I hurried to the bathroom and came back, I looked around for Niall and couldnt find him. I looked around until a flight attendant came over to me "Miss do you need help?" "Uh yeah I just cant find my husband" "What does he look like?" "Hes Niall Horan" "Oh, I know where your supposed to be, It gets confusing sometimes" I giggled,embarassed and followed her back to my seat.  Niall laughed at my expression as I sat "I got lost" "I figured" he said kissing me quickly.

We finally got to Greg and his fiances house (Nialls childhood home) halfway through the day. "Hi everyone!" Niall said loudly as we lugged everything in the house. It was very crowded so we made our way around after putting our stuff in the room we were staying in. "Hi Maura!" I said hugging her, she was more than a mother in law, she treated me just like I was one of her own. We danced the night away and Niall had a couple drinks. "Hi Emma" I said greeting Nialls cousin. "Hi Jordan" she said hugging me. "How are you" "Good, how about you" "Great, Are you glad Niall is free for 2 weeks?" "Yeah, hes been so busy lately and I miss him, plus he needs a break" We talked for a while, along with his other cousins; Aoife and Katie.
