I wake up this morning, absolutely shattered. I had to get up 5 times last night because Noah was crying and Harry slept through the whole night, without waking up.  It's just not fair. Okay so Harry can't breast feed, so i don't expect him to feed Noah but he could have at least gotten up and cuddled him until i woke up instead of leaving him to cry. 

I get up and out of bed. I get dressed and put on some make-up. I hear Noah gurgling and making cute noises. 

When i finish doing my make-up, i pick up Noah and let him lay on the bed, while Harry is still asleep. 

Darcy comes running into my room screaming.

"WHERE'S MY BROTHER" She screams.

"Shh Darcy, Daddy is sleeping, Noah is here, come see" I say as i show her Noah.

She comes running to the bed and climbs up and sits next to Noah. 

"Right Darcy, you watch Noah for me while i pick up these clothes" I say, trying to make Darcy feel like shes involved. 

Harry rolls over and Darcy screams.

"HARRY, NOAH" I scream as i move Noah as Harry nearly rolled on him. 

"What? whats going on?" Harry sits up immediately, half asleep.

"You were going to roll on Noah" I say, relieved he didn't.

Darcy and Harry then both burst out laughing. 

"Harry are you getting up soon? don't forget the boys are coming today to see Noah" I remind Harry.

"Oh shit! i forgot" Harry said as he jumped out of bed. 

"Harry language" I said looking at Darcy.

"Shit daddy" Darcy said.

"DARCY STYLES....DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT WORD" I shouted at Darcy. Which then made her and Noah cry. 

"Shhhh" I rocked Noah in my arms.

Harry picked up Darcy and stopped her from crying. 

"Darcy sweetie, you can't say that word, its naughty" Harry explained and Darcy stopped crying.

It was now 2pm and the boys were due any minute now. 

I put Noah in his swing, turned on cartoons for Darcy and had a quick clean up. 

*Knock,Knock,Knock* the front door went. 

"Ill get it" Harry said, running to the door.

I picked up and tided all the toys and as i turned around there stood the boys. 

"Oh, Hiya boys, don't mind me" I said as i threw the toys into the toy box. 

"How are you love?" Louis asked as we hugged.

"I'm good, how are you all?" I replied.   

"We are all good" Liam said, as we hugged. 

"Hey Nialler" I said as me and Niall hugged. 

"Sit down lads" Harry said as they all sat on the sofa. 

"So where is the little lad" Niall asked.

"Here" I said getting Noah out of his swing. 

"Everyone, this is Noah, who wants to hold him first?" I asked. 

"ME ME ME" Niall said excitedly. 

I passed Noah to Niall and then Darcy went running to Harry and sat on his lap.

* * * * 

The boys have been here for a few hours now, and its nearly time for them to go.

"Harry, mate, you coming with us tonight? We are going for a lads night?" Louis asked.

"Um...." Harry said and then looked up at me.

"Fine, i suppose i will allow you" I said as Liam passed me Noah.

"Cool, well we better be going, right lads?" Liam said.

"Yeah, thanks for having us Meg and congratulations, Noah is super cute" Niall said as all the boys stood up.

Harry hugged Darcy, Noah and me and then left with the rest of the boys. 

As soon as the front door shut, Darcy started crying.

"Darcy sweetie, daddy will be back tomorrow" I said as i bent down and cuddled her, while holding Noah.

"But, i want daddy back now, i want him now" Darcy cried, struggling to catch her breath as she talked.

"I know sweetie, but daddy has to do work stuff with uncle Liam, uncle Louis and Uncle Nialler" I said as i took her hand and led her upstairs.

I put Noah into his basket and went into Darcy's room to put her to bed.

I read her a story, tucked her in, turned on her fairy night lights and kissed her forehead. 

I walked out of her room, closing the door and walked back into my room.

I picked up Noah and fed him. After he finished feeding, i burped him and rocked him to sleep. I laid him in his basket and put his blue blanket on him.

 I kissed his forehead and laid in bed. 

I finally managed to fall asleep. 

This was the first night i was alone with two children, without Harry to help me. It was so weird sleeping in a double bed alone, again. It was horrible, Harry's side of the bed was freezing cold and my side was hot. It was weird not sleeping with him or listening to him sleeping.

I got up four times during the night with Noah and twice with Darcy, which is very unlike her. She normally sleeps through the night and its hard to wake her up, but i think because she knew Harry wasn't here it made her feel anxious and nervous to sleep. 

Darcy ended up sleeping in my bed with me because i couldn't keep running into her room and running back into mine for Noah so i though't it would be easier to have them both in the same room. 

I am so glad i have Harry, i couldn't imagine being single and having a four year old and a new born. It would be too much for me. I just wouldn't be able to do it. I am so thankful for him and everything he does.
