*Mid November*

“When is your mom’s plane landing?” Louis asked Niall.

We were sitting at the airport at like midnight waiting for his mom to arrive.  It was only Niall, Louis, Eleanor, and I waiting. The others were at their houses, they didn’t want to come or get mobbed; like we did earlier.  

Maura was coming because we are going shopping for dresses. All of the girls plus her and then she was going back home until a few days before the wedding. Then everyone will be flying in from both sides of the family. Well there will be more on his side because not a lot of my family can make it. It will be something small with just friends and family, I don’t think I could handle a big wedding. Another thing is that we all have kept the date of the wedding a secret, I quite surprised that Directioner’s haven’t figured out when it is because they are good at that.

“Any minute now.” Niall answered sleepily. We were all super tired, between the boys getting everything ready for their new album coming out and doing some concerts and interviews here and there it was wearing on us.

“And how long is she going to be here?” He asked. 

I stifled a laugh as I saw Niall struggle not to go over and tell him to shut up so he could sleep.

“Louis, I’m not really for sure. Maybe like three days so she can help the girls with their dresses.” He rubbed his eyes. Louis nodded his head and leaned back in his seat. Eleanor wrapped her hand around his arm and leaned her head onto his shoulder. They were too cute together.

Since they all were sitting with their eyes closed I decided to watch for my second mom, she should be getting her anytime now.

“Are they all asleep?” A man’s voice startled me. I turned to the familiar voice.

“Bobby?” I cheered. I’m surprised that none of the sleepy heads woke up He held his arms out for a hug- which I gladly accepted. It was a nice surprise to have Niall’s dad here too.

I pulled away from him to see Maura standing directly behind him; a smile clearly evident on her face. She did the same thing Bobby did, opened her arms and gave me a huge hug.  When she pulled away her eyebrows rose at the sight of the three, now, sleeping friends I have.  She laughed quietly as I told her about how they tried staying awake.

Bobby shook Niall to try and get him awake as I got Louis and Eleanor.

“Courtney give me five more minutes.” He muttered as he tried to roll in the uncomfortable black chair. I had to suppress a bubble of laughter that almost escaped my lips.

Louis woke up after I shook him and he got Eleanor. Niall was still out even though Bobby started shaking him harder.  Each time he would lazily swat away his hand. After the third try he motioned for me to come over and try.

“Ni, come on mum and dad don’t want to stay in an airport all night and watch you sleep. Actually I don’t think any of us want to do that.” I whispered into his ear. He cracked one of his eyes open, enough so he could see to stand up.  I don’t think he was actually even awake, more like sleep walking because he didn’t even notice Bobby being with us.

I think he was sleep walking because he didn’t even notice his dad was with us. If he knew he was he would probably up and alert, talking to him and catching up. Louis helped walk him out to the car, he placed him in the passenger’s seat and then helped with Niall’s parents bags.  Maura and Bobby got into the back seat and I could see in their eyes that they were ready for some sleep. I told Louis and Eleanor that we would talk tomorrow before I took the sleepy heads home.
