You Need Me

Life is Good

I watch my little girl, who is now three, as she sits down upon the lawn of the back garden giggling away at the daisies and dandelions poking up from the grass. Her hair is wild as she wouldn't let me style it this morning so her curly locks are everywhere. She has definitely got her dad's looks.

It's actually quite amusing to notice the similarities between the pair. Like the way they put their hands on their hips, or their concentration face where they lick their lips, even their smile and laugh sounds the same.

It's odd how quick life has gone by. How quickly it went from Trent making me a hot chocolate that one night to being my husband and the father of our child.

Yes me and Trent Alexander-Arnold tied the knot a couple of weeks after Charlotte's first birthday and it was the most magical day of my life.

I hear the front door slam and the dogs start barking. "Shush it's just me." I hear my love's voice echo throughout the house.

"Hiya, babes." I call to him to say that we are outside.

"You alright, Nat." He come outside and gives me a kiss on the lips. I nod my head in reply and our child shouts.

"Daddy, your home." Charlotte jumps up and legs it over to her dad. He lifts her up in his arms and spins her around. She laughs with happiness.

"Hello, my princess." He smothers her with kisses and she laughs louder as it tickles her.

He puts her down and she runs back off towards the flowers.

I go to say something to Trent but we are interrupted by my daughter screaming her head off. "SHUT UP!" Charlotte screams.

Me and Trent look at each other with shock as that's something we haven't heard from her. "Charlotte, what did you just say?" I ask her and she puts her hands behind her back knowing what she just said was wrong, she pulls a sheepish face and I smile at her. "Who taught you that?"

"Alexa." She smiles as she talks about her older cousin.

"Has she taught you anything else?" Trent asks her.

"Idiot!" She shouts and me and Trent laugh.

"Looks like we'll be having a word with that brother of yours about his daughter's choice of vocabulary, because it wont be long until she'll be teaching her something else." Trent tells me and I nod my head.

"I will take her round there tomorrow, Charlotte would probably want to see them too."

Me and Trent lay in bed and I cuddle into him. We lay there in silence before Trent speaks up.

"Let's have another child."

I sit up and look at him making sure I heard him right. "You being serious?" I smile at him.

"Yeah, I mean think about it. Charlotte gets along with her cousins really well so, I reckon it'll be good to have a sibling." Trent has a happy glint in his brown eyes and I wrap my arms around my husband with happiness.

"I love you so much." I connect my lips with his and he chuckles at my excitement.

"I love you too, Natalie Alexander-Arnold." He mumbles before rolling on top of me.

We're gonna have another child.

Life goes on quickly, and soon enough our second child comes along. It's a little boy who we name Adam. Trent was the one who suggested it when we were laying on the hospital bed with our new born in my arms.

Adam looks more like me this time, with my eyes and nose but he has his father's hair just like his sister, crazy curls that are hard to control.

I can tell that this boy is going to be like his father more than Charlotte. I can see this one as a footballer or an athlete and Charlotte being able to drive like me.

But time will tell. And if there is one thing I have learnt since losing my first love.

Time is a precious thing, cherish it as you never know who you're going to lose next.
