"Where we mumma?" Atticus questions from his car seat as I pull up at the park. "We're at the park baby" I tell him and almost immediately he was trying to get out of his car seat but he hasn't quite figured out how to get out himself yet which was good. I collect my things before climbing out of the car before opening the backdoor where Atticus was getting impatient. "Atticus we can go home right now if you don't settle down" The two year old huffed before glaring at me as he waited for me to let him out.

Just to make him wait longer I took my time unbuckling him. "Mumma" Atticus whined making me chuckle, I lift him out of his seat and place him on my hip so he couldn't run off before shutting the car door and lock the car before carrying the child over to the playground where I could see Taylor sitting on one of the benches and the twins pushing each other in the sand.

When we were close enough I placed Atticus down on the ground and as soon as his little feet touched the ground he took off to the twins. I smile and make my way over to Taylor who was watching as her boys hugged Atticus. "Hey love" Taylor greeted as I sat down on the bench next to her. "Hey Tay" I say smiling at her. "Niall left this morning didn't he?" Taylor questioned and i nodded my head "Yeah we just came from the airport" I say as I sigh "how's Atticus taking it?" Taylor asked as we watched our boys play.

"It hasn't really hit him yet" I say as my phone buzzed, I continue to chat to Taylor as I pull my phone out to see I had a text from Niall Can you Skype me when Atty's about to go sleep? I send him a text back saying I would before looking back at the boys to see they were helping each other onto the playing frame. "Do you have Atticus in daycare?" Taylor suddenly questions "yeah I have him there three days a week but since he's sick he isn't allowed to go" I say and she nodded her head.

"I wasn't going to put the twins in daycare, but maybe I could put them in with Atticus" I smile and nod my head "I'm pretty sure all the boys would love that" I say as Atticus slid down the slide followed by Conner than lastly Cooper who was a little scared so the other two encouraged him. "They get along so well" I say "Yeah they do, it's adorable" I smile and nod my head in agreement.

We both sit there as our boys ran around in the sand, climbed all over the equipment that they could get on and then repeated the process. "Mumma" Atticus screamed as he ran over to me with the twins right behind him. "What baby?" I ask as he stopped in front of me. He tried to speak but couldn't get the words out so he pointed behind him where I could see a guy standing behind a tree with an expensive camera in hand. I pull my phone out and snap a picture of him before pocketing my phone.

"Let's go somewhere else, it's not safe here for the boys" I tell Taylor who nodded and picked her boys up before we rushed to the parking lot. I help Taylor get the twins into her car and quickly planned to meet at an ice-cream parlour that was a few blocks away before rushing over to my car where I buckled Atticus in before climbing into the drivers seat and locked all the doors while I pulled out my phone and sent Niall the picture of the guy behind the tree that was most likely paparazzi.

"Mumma?" Atticus questions from his car seat as I started the car "Yeah baby?" I ask as I turn my head so I could see him "Who dat?" He questioned probably meaning the guy that was taking photos "Nobody babe, it was good you told me" He nodded and put his thumb in his mouth and began sucking on it. I smile and turn back around in my seat. I put my seat belt on before reversing out of the car park and headed to the ice-cream parlour.

"Atticus look at the laptop" I tell the boy who was laying in the middle of my bed in a onesie and sucking on his pacifier. The young boy groaned before turning to look at the laptop in my lap. I watch as Atticus' eyes filled with tears as he looked at his daddy on the laptop screen. "Hey baby, no need to cry" Niall cooed from the other side of the screen. "Dada" Atticus cried as he dropped his pacifier before crawling closer to me so he could look at his daddy.

"Hey baby" Niall said as he gave Atticus a sad smile, I could tell he was getting upset because of Atty's crying and it made me upset because they were both upset. "you come home?" Atticus choked out, I put my hand on his back and rub it as he babbled to Niall. "Not yet baby, a little longer" Niall said which made Atticus cry harder. I move the laptop so it was off to the side before lifting Atticus onto me. I lay him down on my chest so his head was facing the laptop before rubbing his back as he spoke to Niall. About half an hour later Atticus started to get quiet and before I knew it, little snores were escaping his mouth.

"He's out" I tell Niall who smiled softly "I'm sorting out what happened earlier" Niall says and I nod my head, after we spoke for a little bit Niall had to leave so I say goodbye before ending the call. I carefully move Atticus so he was laying on his side of the bed before putting my laptop on charge. I walk out of the bedroom quietly and shut the door softly before walking downstairs where I laid down on the couch and began watching a random movie that was on.
