~Rosemary's pov~

Scarlett is now seven months old, and is even more mischievous than before. She grown to like Niall's hats, and I find her going through Niall's clothes when I'm not looking. We are meeting Niall in Chicago, but he doesn't know that. We're surprising him again. Our flight leaves tomorrow, Liam got us our own private flight, despite my protests. My boss agreed to let me go, except he is hiring a co-director, since I've been so behind on my work, which is a good thing. I opened the door to the flat, and Scarlett squealed, crawling over to me, from where she had been playing in front of the sofa. "Mu-mmy!!" She said slowly, and I beamed.

"Scar!!" I picked her up, and hugged her tight. "You said your first words!! You said my name!!" She laughed, hugging me back. "Mummy!" She said again, more certain this time. There were tears of joy in my eyes, and I gave her a kiss. "I love you so much, love." She smiled, and gave me another hug. "Yay, Scar!" Kylee says, holding her hand up. Scarlett put her hand against it, as a high five. Kylee grinned happily, before collecting her things and heading home. She stays with her boyfriend nearby, because she babysits Scarlett while I'm working, but I don't have work so I can meet Niall on time. She's going home to her flat in Ireland tomorrow, and I'm going to miss her. She promised to keep in touch, but it's not the same.

I set Scarlett back down so she can play, pulling my laptop onto my lap. I started a Skype with Niall, and he answered after a few rings. "Hey, Princess!" He greeted, and I smiled. Scarlett looked over at me, recognizing Niall's voice. "Da-da?" Scarlett said, and Niall's face was one of pure joy. "She-?" I nodded, and he laughed. "She said Dada! She said my name!!! Oh my god, lads!!" He was shouting to anyone who would listen at this point. "What is going on here?!" Louis shouted, from somewhere off screen. I giggled, as a flustered Louis came into view. He looked tired, and his hair was a mess. The funniest part, though, was that he was in his boxers. "Lou, Scar said Dada!!! She said my name!!!" Louis groaned, scowling at me.

"This is why I was woken up at three in the morning for? Niall, keep it down!" Then he left again. I snickered, and Niall smiled. "Only two months left until I'm home. Hopefully for a while." I smiled back and nodded, agreeing. So Niall still doesn't know. I was afraid Liam had told him. "I miss you too," I replied. Scarlett had crawled over to us, and was trying to climb on the sofa. I grinned, picking her up and placing her on my lap so she could see her daddy. "Dada!!" She squealed with a smile. Niall beamed again, and he waved. "Hey, love. How are you?" Scarlett laughed, and she waved at Niall. He waved back, chuckling. "You should get some sleep, Ni." I suggested, seeing his eyes droop and him yawning. He shook his head, sitting up straighter.

"I'm not tired, I can talk to you." He argued, but I could see he was exhausted. "Get some sleep. Love you!" I called, blowing him a kiss. He sighed, before disconnecting. "You hungry?" I asked Scarlett, and she nodded. For a baby, she's really smart. I fed her dinner, before she began to get tired. "You tired now?" She nodded again, and raised her arms to be picked up. I chuckled, and carried her to her crib. "Night, Scar." I told her, kissing her cheek. I placed her in her crib, and she fell asleep quickly. I looked down at her, just admiring the baby girl I created, with the man I love.

I packed a suitcase and a smaller bag for tomorrow with everything I needed for myself and for Scarlett. Then, I looked out the window, out at the sunset. I took the blanket, and curled up below the windowsill, staring out at London at night. I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and sent a message to Mum. "Could you come to Chicago in a few days? I don't think Scarlett will like all the traveling." She replied with, "Of course, Rosie! When do you need me?" I but my lip, thinking. To be honest, I didn't know. It's a little late to text Liam, he's probably asleep. "I don't know." I sent back. All I know from Liam is that they have two concerts in Chicago, and then one in Michigan. I don't know the dates of these shows.
