Never Gonna Let You Go

The One Where There's a Surprise Party

So, I had no idea how to start this off, so I let Ara take responsibility for trying to explain where we came up with this book idea... thing. So here's what she said:

A/N: Hi everybody! This is just a little (alright, maybe a lot) of fun, random, completely and utterly unreal moments that Ara and Paige have come up with. Long story short, it started with teasing the boys of One Direction and then our imaginations just started running wild, we started dragging all of our friends into the mix and - yeah, here we are.

So, after making fun of One Direction, we both decided that it was absolutely ludicrous not share our crazy minds-idea.

Hopefully no one reads too much into this, we’re just making this as a fun collaboration. We don’t own the boys (ha, funny joke), but every single plot twist is ours. :) Tell us what you think, even if you tell us we’re crazy (but please, try to tell us something we don’t know...)!

I hope that made some sense,

Enjoy,

--LTT, and Ara.

“What time is everyone coming tonight?” Making funny faces at their newest family addition, Ara fixed the bundle of blankets in her arms and tightened her hold. Seeing Niall frozen in mid-motion, however, she just rolled her eyes and waved at their front door.

“Ri’. Watch yo’r step,” holding both the glass and wooden doors open, Ara smiled and squeezed past him. Not to jostle the sleeping baby in her arms, Ara gently toed off her shoes but before she could let her husband take off her jacket a large pair of feet landed in front of hers. Silencing a scream, she looked up startled to see at least four other people in her entryway. Surely that meant the rest of her friends were inside.

“Surprise!” Jumping from the hallway into the small entryway, Harry landed two feet in front of Ara; his hands wide open and scaring the shit outta everyone.

Ara, instead of mouthing off, turned immediately to see Summer standing on the third stair. Her friend was ahead of her, leaning on one hand against a wall to hit him, “That’s a great idea Harry! Let’s scare the lady holding the baby! Nice move, nimrod.” Grumbling, Ara’s best friend narrowed her eyes at him before prancing happily over to Ara, gently hugging her and the baby all in one before leading her farther into the entryway.

“Bril’nt id’a mate,” Niall seconded Summer, scowling and smacking him. After pouting for a moment, Harry rubbed his curls before swooping down to place a kiss on Ara’s cheek as a simple greeting. Seeing how Liam couldn’t take his eyes off the little bundle in her arms, she passed off her newest baby to him, making him grin widely. Ara simply reached up to lightly pat Harry away.

“I thought you were all coming later tonight?” Puzzled, Ara reached for Niall’s coat, having just put her own away.

“Wa’ ‘avi ok for ya Liam?” Niall wrapped an arm around Ara, smiling tenderly at his bandmate rocking Andy.

Nodding his head to the kitchen before Ara asked, he made a noise of consent, “Alexa’s talking to Elyse just in the kitchen.” Eyes never leaving the little boys face, Liam puffed his cheeks up with air (making a funny face) and lightly puffing air in Andy’s face, ruffling his fluffy baby hairs and making the baby giggle. As Andy gurgled up at him, the smile on Liam’s face grew impossibly bigger. “Havi was great, she was too excited and called everyone over early for you. Alexa gave her my phone …”

Untangling her husband’s arms from around her middle, Ara pecked Niall’s cheek before moving to the kitchen. It was almost second nature to detach Summer from arguing with Harry and pull her by her hand towards the other two girls chatting in the kitchen.
