"Are you nervous?" I adjusted Zayn's tie as he let out a sigh.

"Just a wee bit," he replied. "I don't know how to feel about becoming a boss."

"Becoming? You already are," I teased, straightening out his tie and smiling. "You're all set."

"Can you do that one thing? You know... with my tie?" Zayn bit back his lip, eyeing me.

I grabbed a hold of his tie and gently tugged at it, bringing his face closer to mine. "Oh, you mean this?"

"Mhm," he murmured, leaning in a little bit closer.

Smiling, I tugged his tie one more, bringing his lips to mine. Zayn's hands roamed my back until they reached the hem of my yoga pants. His hand began to slowly pull them down but I pulled back and took his hand away.

"Whoa there," I teased, bringing his hand back up to my waist. "there's no time."

Zayn groaned, looking at the time on his watch and then back at me with a smirk. "Ten minutes?"

"You're already dressed and you cannot show up with sex hair," I said, stretching up to give him one last peck on the lips. I lightly pushed him towards the door before he turned around and kissed the top of my head and murmured goodbye.

"See you later." I waved as he shut the door.

I heard a faint cry coming from our bedroom. Walking down the hallway, I stared at the blank walls. I was excited to decorate our new home. I made it to the room and saw Ashton sitting up and he let out a squeal as he saw me walk towards his crib.

"Good morning, baby!" I cooed, taking him out. He only knows baby talk and I started to giggle, listening to him babble. "Wanna go see if your big sister is awake?"

Ash continued to babble and I kissed his chubby cheeks and carried him down the hall to Ella's bedroom. I opened the door and saw Ella sitting upright on the bed, sniffling. I rushed to her and let Ashton sit on my lap as I began to wipe the tears from her cheeks.

"What's wrong, love?" I asked, worriedly. Ella continued to cry and I brought her closer to me and hugged her tightly. "Did you have a bad dream?" I asked quietly, stroking her hair and kissing the top of her head.

"Mhm," she hiccuped, sniffling. "About grampy."

Grampy is what she calls Zayn's father.

I frowned, continuing to stroke her hair. "Do you want to talk about it?" She shook her head, telling me she didn't want to talk about just yet.

"Look, how about we go visit grampy in a bit?" I asked her, trying to uplift her spirit again. Seeing her so down breaks my heart.

Ella nodded with a small smile forming. The three of us walked out to the living so that Ella could watch her morning movies like she always does. This time, she asked to watch Tangled. She's been watching quite a lot of Disney movies lately. I brought Ash to the dining room to sit in his high chair so I could watch him and cook at the same time.

After breakfast, I got my two munchkins bathed and dressed before we headed to my in-laws house. Ella was super excited while Ash just continued to babble the whole ride through.

When we arrived, Tricia was already standing at the front porch with open arms as Ella darted out of the car and into her arms. Giggling, I got out of the car as well and carried Ash in his car seat and Waliyha rushed over to me to help grab Ash's diaper bag and Ella's overnight bag because she wanted to stay the night.
