Living the High Life

Chapter 26

The week that me and Lilly had with Charlotte and the 5sos boys was amazing and so much fun. The boys were great with Lilly and included her in everything they did. If they were in the pool then so was Lilly. If they were chilling by the pool so was Lilly. If they were writing Lilly would be in the high chair with some paper and pencils having a go. They included her so much in what ever they were doing. Luke and Michael were great when me, Charlotte, Ash and Calum went for our run. I didn't want to leave on the 26th but I was meeting the boys in Paris on the 27th.

Charlotte and the boys were staying out for another 2 weeks so wouldn't be flying with me. My flight to Paris would be the first flight with Lilly on my own. I was dreading it so much. Thankfully it was an over night flight which would mean that I was hoping Lilly would sleep for the flight.

So before heading to the airport I got Lilly bathed and her Pjs on, rather Luke, Michael, Calum and Ash did and me and Charlotte stood and walked.

"You know something Charlotte." I said smiling watching Michael trying to put Lilly's foot in her baby grow

"Yeah?" She said grinning at me

"I didn't think it could take 4 grown adults to get someone so small bathed and dressed." I said smiling

"I was just thinking that." Charlotte said

"How long does it take James to get Lilly bathed and dressed?" Charlotte asked

"15 minutes some time 20 if they're playing with the toys." I said

"That's not bad." Charlotte said

"Yep. He doesn't mess around. He know that if it isn't done in less than half an hour Lilly's gets bored and I get annoyed because she's not in bed when she should be. Which normally means James gets the joy of getting up with Lilly when she wakes up at half 4." I said still smiling

"Fair enough." Charlotte said

"Yeah." I said smiling

In total it took 35 minutes for the 5sos boys to get Lilly ready for bed.

I gave Lilly some milk then put her in the sling so that I could get sorted and we could get to the airport without to much stress and crying from Lilly.

We got to the airport with an hour to kill. In that time I topped Lilly up with milk so that she would sleep for the whole flight then I got a coffee and waited for the flight.

Lilly again slept for the whole flight which was nice and I got some sleep in as well. Which also did me the world of good.

We landed in Paris and the boys were due in any time so we hung around and waited for them. It was half 8 in the morning so while we waited me and Lilly went to got some breakfast.

"Here Lilly." I said handing her the spoon with some porridge on which she enjoyed sucking on for a good 10 minutes.

"Enjoying that." I said smiling when she handed the spoon back to me so that I could put more on it.
She giggled.

"Glad some one is." I said handing her the spoon back

When the boys finally arrived after an hour delay we went to the hotel and got ourselves sorted. There was nothing planned so while Connor, Brad and Trist took Lilly down to the pool me and James went to the gym.

"Hey baby." I said when me and James got back from the gym I leant over Connor and gave him a kiss

"Yeah I'm good." Connor said

"Where's Lilly." I asked looking around Connor pointed at the pool where Brad and Tristan were Lilly was in her float seat

"Ah." I said sitting down and Con's lounger

"Where's James?" Con asked

"Getting his swim stuff." I said smiling

"Fair enough. You not coming in the pool?" Con said pulling his top off

"Yeah." I said pulling the dress I had got charged into after the gym off to reveal me in my bikini.

"Your so beautiful." Connor said putting his hands on my hips and pulling me towards him

"I try." I said smiling

"Good to know." Connor said

"Love you." I said kissing him

"Love you too." Connor said

It was a lovely afternoon spent with the boys chilling out. The gym session with James had been amazing and just what I had needed.

It was a mad few days. We finished the promo tour on the 8th March and decided to spend an extra few days in Amsterdam. We had never really been here before so it was nice to explore a bit and spend some time all together before heading home and to get ready for the tour in the summer.

We got home on the 16th March after a few more days in Amsterdam which was lovely and Lilly enjoyed her self. It was nice to see her happy. I was glad to be in my own bed again it had been a while. Connor and the boys were only home for a few days before heading to London for a meeting with the label to talk about the album, that was due out in 3 weeks. All the boys had been working so hard on it for the last year.

"When are you back?" I asked Connor as he was about to leave.

"Monday, only going for the weekend." Connor said

"Okay babe." I said giving him a kiss,

"Have fun." Connor said

"I plan to sleep and I think Lilly has the same thing in mind." I said smiling

The boys left.

Charlotte and the 5sos boys were still in LA but due home on Tuesday night I had to get them from Exeter airport at like half 11 at night when i should be in bed.

They'd had an amazing time out in LA and had got so much work done. Charlotte had kept me up to date with what was going on.

Tuesday night all the vamps boys were over to celebrate mine and Connors wedding anniversary which was on the 13th and Connors 26th birthdays which was on the 15th March. We'd all been so busy that we hadn't had the time to celebrate. Unfortunately I had to leave the celebration and go get Charlotte and the 5sos boys. Which I didn't mind doing.

"Hey guys." I said when they came through the arrivals gate.

"Hey Rhi. How are you?" Charlotte asked

"Yeah not bad." I said smiling

"Good to hear." Charlotte said

"Where are the boys." Ash asked

"At home. We're having a bit of a get together." I said

"What for?" Luke said as we walking to the car.

"Well it was our wedding anniversary on the 13th March and it was Connors birthday on the 15th." I said

"Awww. How long you been married now?" Cal said

"3 years." I said opening the boot to put their suit cases in

"Aww lovely." Michael said said

"Yeah can't believe it's been 3 years." I said smiling

"That's mad Rhi." Charlotte said

"Yeah tell me about it." I said smiling

When we got home Tristan and Brad had gone.

"Brad and Trist said they'd be back tomorrow to take Lilly out for her walk." Con said

"Okay babe." I said smiling

Bed time. I was so glad to get into bed I was so tired Lilly was teething at the moment which meant for some sleepless nights for me and Con. But for the first time in about a week Lilly slept through until 7:30 the next morning.
