I woke up to the sound of birds loudly chirping by my balcony. The sunlight went through my curtains which bothered me a lot lately. I waited for my eyes to adjust. I looked down to still see those same arms that wrapped themselves around me. Niall. I really didn't want to get up from here knowing that i'd probably lose an opportunity like this again. I'm not taking chances; I cuddled myself more into him, feeling the warmness of his body onto mines. He breathed in a lot of air and huffed it out.

"You cold babe?" His morning voice echoed against my walls.

"No, just want to be close to you" I answered honestly, making a chuckle escape his pink lips.

"I'm not leaving you Julie-"

"Shh" I looked up to him "Be quiet and let me absorb this moment!"

"Julie!" He said pulling me off of him.

"What?!" I whined "Your so warm Niall"

"Come on love, Lily is probably roaming around the living room right now, Hungry!"

"Fine" I giggled.

I removed the duvets off me, letting the mid winter breeze hit my bare thighs. I tip toped over to the bathroom, fixing my hair. I quickly brushed my teeth and exited the bathroom for a sleepy Niall to go use it. I walked out my room towards the guest room to get Alex, and see if she wanted anything particular for breakfast. I knocked on the door a couple of times but no answer. I carefully opened it to find an empty room and a perfectly made bed with a note that read "To: Julie" in red cursive writing. So girly of Alex. I thought. I picked up, unfolding it and scanning trough it.

"Thanks for letting me stay for the night, you really are a true friend. But I got a call this morning from Tesco saying the needed someone to cover a shift, hey more money right? Well, I don't know where i'll be going to night... Don't worry about me though! Thanks again! Love you!

- Alex "

I smiled at the neatly written note from my best friend. No place to stay? Well why can't she just ask me? Another thing about her, is she is just so shy to ask people questions that are too forward but again I can be like that too; I picked up my phone, quickly sending her a text. This was a good idea.

To Alex:

Hey, why don't you move into my flat? It's not trouble love! It'll be fun! I promise! See you tonight :) xx

I closed the guest room, which will now be Alex's room, and headed down stairs to see my toddler on the couch while her eyes were glued onto the tv.

"Morning baby!" I smiled, walking over to her and placing a kiss on her forehead like I did every morning.

"Morning mummy!" She giggled, as her eyes lit up "I'm so happy you home"

"Me too baby"

"Is daddy home?"

"Yes love, he's upstairs"

"He stayed over?!"

"Yes he did"

"You guys had a sleep over?!" Her eyes sparkled in happiness.

"Uh, yes we did" I giggled at the randomness of my toddler.

"Without me?"

"Baby you fell asleep, but we'll have another one.. And Auntie Alex will be here too!"

"Really?!"

"Yes baby, but right now help me with breakfast? Daddy is really hungry!"

"Okay" she giggled in excitement.
