"Hey, Lou. Do you think you can do me a huge favor?"

"What do you want now....."

"Can you bring me and the monkey some takeout or something for dinner? She had a late lunch so she is just now getting hungry and I'm starving but I have to give her a bath and don't have time to make dinner or go out and get anything..." I pleaded.

But all I got in return was silence.

"Please Loubear! I'll make it up to you! I promise!"

"Fine, I'll be over in a few. Just leave the door unlocked! But i'm bringing Haz. He was just telling me about your blossoming love for eachother." I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

"That's fine! Thanks, babe!" And I hung up.

I looked around but couldn't find the little monster in the living room.

"AJ?" I said getting up.

"Aubrey Juliet?!" I said getting a little louder.

"BREE?" "JULZ?" I said looking around the house for her.

I walked into her bedroom and saw a big lump under her pink duvet and I smiled.

"HMMM I wonder where the little monkey is...." I said walking over to the bed and grabbing her from under the covers.

I flipped her over and started tickling her and she had a laughing fit, just like this morning.

"You have to take a bath and then we have some visitors coming to bring dinner!" I said to her while picking her up.

"Who da visitors, mama?" She said settling in my arms.

"Uncle Lou and Daddy!" I said throwing her up in the air a little and catching her.

"Well than get me a baf, woman!" Bree said trying to escape from my arms and run to the bathroom.

I walked in and turned on the water. I put in her favorite bubble bath and she started taking off her shorts. I took of her shirt and she jumped in. She started making foam mustaches on herself and playing around.

"Aubs I'll be right back! I'm gonna go get your PJs."

I walked out into the hall and raced down to her room, not wanting to leave her alone for a long time. I went into her drawers and pulled out her hello kitty matching shorts and t-shirt set. I walked back in the bathroom to see her lounging in the tub with her hands behind her head. I splash her and she leans up towards me. I grab a bottle like tupperware and fill it with bath water and start rinsing her hair. I watch her curls that were in her mid back extend to straight hair leading to her lower back. I washed her hair and body and starts to drain the tub. I heard the door open but I knew it was Louis and Harry so it was fine.

"HONEY I'M HOME!" Louis yelled throughout the house.

"UNCLE LOU! DADDY! HELP! MAMA IS KEEPING ME HELD IN A TOWEL! I WANNA BE FWEE!" Aubrey yelled out the boys.

I heard them laugh and start setting everything on the kitchen table. I took her into her room and plopped her on her bed. I threw her undies to put on and then I started to change her into her pjs. The boys had turned on the tv because I could hear some random noise on in the kitchen.

I grabbed a hair tie off my wrist and molded her hair into a French braid. I kissed her on the cheek and let her jump on my back. She hung on me and I walked into the kitchen to see the boys laying everything out on the table. I walked over to Harry and gave him a peck. I leaned down a little and AJ gave him a peck. I sat her down in her chair and buckled her in. I made her a small plate of food and took some for myself on another plate. I handed it to her and gave her a kids spoon and fork. I went into the fridge and grabbed apple juice and put it in a cup with water like this morning. The boys came and sat next to us and we are while watching a rerun of some Disney show that kept Bree busy. I put all the dishes in the dishwasher and turned the heat up since it was a little cold.

"Come on little one, it's time to go to bed!" I yelled coming into the kitchen.

Harry had Julz on his lap and she was reaching up to play with his curls.

"Can daddy put me to sweep?"

"Sure, babe." I said and gave her a kiss.

Harry picked her up and took her into her room since I heard her telling him where to go to get to her room. I sat in the living room with Lou and laid my head on his shoulder.

"What do I do, Lou?"

"Stay with him. It's obvious it is good for everyone, especially AJ. And she is your absolute world, Nic. You know it is better for everyone."

"I just don't know how much more I can take of the drama there is that comes with dating a celebrity."

"Just trust me on this, he is different. You guys would still be happy together if you guys weren't forced to break it off."

I just nodded and looked towards the hallway where I saw Harry close the bedroom door to AJ's room. I sighed and got up to walk over to him. He smiled at me as I walked up to him. I smiled back and grabbed his hand. I led him into my room and sat him down my bed. I turned to him and sat cross-legged. I took a big breath and started.

"Harry, can we make this work?"

"I want it to work. I will do everything I can for you two."

"I want it to work too." I said looking up at his green orbs and reached for his hand.

"Can we try again, Nicole? Think about how much it would mean to our AJ to have a whole family. We can take things slow."

A tear slipped down my eye as I nodded. I looked down and wiped it fast to try to not have him notice.

"Please don't cry, Nikki." He said and pulled me over into a hug. I looked up and he kissed me on the lips slowly but with a lot of passion.

After a couple minutes of me crying I looked up at him and smiled.

"Thanks for holding me, boyfriend." I said with a wink.

God I'm happy again.
