Amber's POV:
-April ; 5 Months In-
I sat down on the sofa with Lilli as we watched Disney movies in our lazy clothes. The saying about April showers better ring true, because this rain was crazy. It had rained nonstop for three days here in London. We were used to rain, but come on; this was out of this world.
Lilli wanted to paint my toes, so she sat at the other end of the sofa. A green bottle of nail polish sat on the sofa next to her as she used the brush to coat on the color. I prayed my hardest that she would not spill that nail polish on my lovely sofa! She rolled up my grey sweatpants so they rested around my calf muscle.
"Could you please stay still, Mommy?" Lilli moaned at me as I fidgeted around on the sofa. I was so uncomfortable, but that's the price I pay for being pregnant. Alice in Wonderland sang through the flat as I spent my first, real girls day with my daughter.
"I'm sorry, Lill." I drug out my response; that always annoyed her. "I just can't get comfy!" She plunged the brush back into the bottle and screwed it on tightly. With her arms crossed, she stared at me. I resettled in on the sofa, fixing my clothes and adjusting my position.
"Sometimes I wonder about you, Mommy." She sounded like Jess right there and it made me laugh. She finished up my toes so they were now green like the summer's grass. We were about halfway through the movie when Lilli questioned me at an odd time. "Where's Daddy at?" Her eyes never parting from the television.
"He's out doing some shopping for me, Lill." I stared at her, letting my hands lay ontop of my baby bump that was covered by a hot pink top. "Why, what's wrong?" I stared her down, trying to pry the answer out of her; she never even look over at me.
"I was just asking, Mommy." Alice in Wonderland finally ended and we decided to watch another Disney classic; Bambi. Thumper was giving his, 'If you don't have anything nice to say' speach when Liam burst through the door; his arms filled with brown, paper bags. Lilli ran to the door to help him and he handed her the smallest bag to carry to the kitchen.
"Hi Honey," I said from the sofa. He looked at me and smiled, replying with a soft 'Hi'. Once he got Lilli to put away the things he bough, he came over to me to kiss my forehead quickly. We made some small talk from the seperate rooms; I honestly couldn't get up.
"Hey, can we talk about something?" His voice raised a little as he packed the ceral away in the pantry.
"Sure, what's up?" I got up off the sofa and waddled over to the fridge; I wanted some blueberries. I pulled out the chair from the kitchen table and sat down to listen to Liam.
"Well, it's been awhile since I saw my Mum," He rubbed his elbow as he took a seat next to me. The jar sat in the middle of the table and his hand dove right in, taking a handful of blueberries. He popped a few in his mouth and asked me, "And I was thinking I should go visit her and my Dad."
"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Sweetheart." I knew how much he missed them, and I felt terrible always keeping him at home because of Lilli and the baby. He was going to go for a Friday, Saturday, and Sunday then come home Sunday night. I told him I'd be fine without him for a few days; I'd invite the boys over and even see Isabella and Mickey again. I had to talk to Isabella about Grace's wedding, anyway.
On Friday morning, Liam left me in bed early so he could be in Wolverhampton by noon. When I finally did get up, I saw he had left Lilli and I a short note that basically said I'll love and miss you. My coffee mug was filled to the top with hot tea as I searched through my phone contacts, looking for someone to hang out with today. My finger hovered over a name before quickly hitting the call button. It rang three times before he answered.
"Hello?" Niall's husky, Irish morning voice sang through the phone.
