"Home Sweet Home!" Harry shouted as he closed the front door.

Haley covered her own ears but was laughing at Harry. Shay was holding her so had to just grin and bear the volume.

"We have neighbours you know?"

"I know. I'm just excited to be back home with my girls!" Harry wrapped his arms around the two of them and held them close.

He let go shortly after to take the bags upstairs as Shay took Haley into the kitchen. She propped her down onto the floor with her favourite bunny. Which had seen better days since it's been here, there and everywhere on tour.

Shay quickly ran back into the hall to grab the suitcases so she could throw everything into the washing machine. She didn't want to leave Haley for too long, knowing she'd be up to mischief otherwise.

Luckily Harry had finished upstairs so walked into the kitchen, bending down to play with Haley on the kitchen floor.

"Okay so we've got 24 hours to wash everything and then pack again." Harry announced.

Shay stopped loading the washer to stare at him.

"I'm sorry what? What do you mean? We've only just got back from tour bub? Shay was confused.

"I know. But I thought it would be nice to get away. Just us for a while. Mum said she'd come and house sit and look after Hal. She even suggested your mum come and stay so they can have a catch up. We can have a proper getaway without worrying about work or this little menace!"

"Please Mama?" Harry used Haley as bait. Hiding behind her and pretending to use her voice. He knew she couldn't say no to her.

"Fine. But you're not allowed to use Haley to get what you want anymore!" Shay threw one of his dirty shirts at him which ended up over his head as well as Haley's.

Haley erupted into giggles which then led to Harry and Shay giggling too.

"Car is packed and ready to go Petal!" Ni shouted up the stairs.

"Perfect. Let's get this one dropped off and grab the happy couple!" Heather had Angus in her arms as she walked down the stairs. His travel bag hanging off of one shoulder.

Niall took Angus from her and disappeared outside to put him in his car seat.

Heather grabbed her house keys and threw Niall's to him when he was done with Angus. He caught them with ease.

"Still got it." He called.

"Yeah yeah. Just get your butt in the car."

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay on your own Anne?" Shay asked her soon to be mother in law. She just didn't know it yet.

"We'll be fine won't we Haley." Anne was bouncing her on her knee as she spoke.

"Anyway, your mum will be here tomorrow and Gemma said she'd pop in to see us."

Shay went to reply but was soon greeted by Heather and Niall walking through the door.
Harry must've opened the front door to let them in. He walked in behind them, the biggest smile on his face as he held Angus in his car seat.

"The Horan's are crashing the getaway!" Niall called. Heather slapped him playfully but was beaming.

"Is that okay?" Heather asked.

Shay said nothing. She just pulled them both into a hug.

"I've missed you!" Shay cried. She gripped onto them together as they both chuckled at the action.
