Leigh's POV

"Mummy! Mummy!' Ella called out as I was standing in Lucas's room trying to get him to sleep

"I'll be there in a minute" I answer her

"Shhhhhhh" I whisper to Lucas cradling him in my arms

His eyes slowly close and his breathing turns slower and better paced

I sigh of relief and place him down in his crib

I walk into Ella's room and see her in her pink and white bed surrounded in stuffed toys and I saw tears running down her eyes

"What's wrong bub" I say pushing the stuffed toys so I can sit down next to her

I wrap my arms around her "mummy I had a nightmare"

"What happened in your nightmare?" I ask her and can't help but feel dreadful that my child is crying

"That mummy and daddy had a fight and daddy never came back" she cries

I didn't know what to say at that point, I felt the tears coming on but didn't let them fall

I stared at my daughter as she's played with her tiny feet covered in socks

I held one of her hands softly and picked her up taking her back into my room

I later her down in my bed and grabbed a photo album from one of the cupboards

I lye down next to her as she asks me "what's that mummy?" She asks

"This Ella, is a photo album, full of photos, from when I became pregnant with you to now" I say

She nods and I open the first page to see Niall and I sitting on a hospital bed with his hand on my flat stomach

"What's that?" She asks

"That's when I got my first ultrasound, and I got to see your little body" I smile at her

She turns back to the book and the next few photos are me and Niall and the girls and guys during the beginning of the pregnancy, then the last photo of me being pregnant with her, was Niall and I backstage at a concert, him with his microphone in his hand and his hair perfectly styled, and him kissing my cheek with his hand on my huge tummy

Ella giggles at it and I look at her smiling "what?" I ask her

"Your tummy is so big there" she giggles

I smile at her and she turns the page over to see the day she was born, of me her and Niall

I smile as I continue to stare at the photo

We flip through the pages of her when she was a newborn, till now

And the very last photo is Ella and I asleep on the coach when I was like 9 months pregnant with Lucas

I smile and close the book and she smiles at me

"Do you feel better now?" I ask putting the book away

"Only if I can sleep here tonight" she smirks

"Fine" I say turning off the lights and lying down with her

Jades POV

I sat in the kitchen drinking a cup of tea as the time read 10:47 and I was waiting for Emily to come home

I moaned and started to get angry with her, she knew I've been waiting for her, and she's been hiding stuff from me, especially when Lou told me he saw her go into a children's hospital
