2 - I want a brother/sister

HARRY
The three of you were at Gemma's house for lunch, sitting around the table and having a conversation. Harry was in the middle of telling a funny story of him and his sister when they were teenagers when suddenly Aubrey pouted and asked you, "Mummy, why I don't have a sister? I want a sister." Harry's attention had turned to you, lately he had been asking you if it was too soon to try for another baby to which you had said you wanted to wait a little longer. Harry swallowed his food before slowly answering, "Maybe you'll have a sister or brother some day, if we're lucky enough to receive another miracle like you". Bree still looked wary but nodded anyways. Once again the room was filled with chatter, filling in the silence from moments before.

LIAM
Jessamine had just gotten back from a playdate with Connor and Lucas, Louis' twins and she was already in a grumpy mood. "What's wrong sweetheart?" You asked her. She stomped her foot on the ground before saying "How come I don't have a brother? It's not fair." She whined before letting tears spill down her cheeks in frustration. You glanced at Liam, his eyes softened, "Jess, not everyone is lucky enough to have a sibling." He paused for a moment, "But who knows, you're almost three years old, so it might be time to have another baby," He said, raising his eyebrows at you, making you roll your eyes at him. You took Jessamine in your arms and carried her to her room, "Let's get a very sleepy someone to bed." You said softly before putting her down for a nap and returning to the living room. "We need to talk."

NIALL
You closed the book and set it down on Rachel's bedside table before leaning in to give her a goodnight kiss. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly before asking you, "Why don't I have a sister?" She pouted, "Anna and Elsa do." She said referring to the sisters from Frozen since you had just read her a part of their story. You hesitated, "Your father and I weren't ready to have another baby, maybe soon we will be." Rachel was so tired that she just yawned and nodded, accepting your answer that she probably didn't fully understand. "Goodnight Rae." You said softly before turning the lights off.

LOUIS

Louis sat with Conor and Lucas, tying their shoelaces since he was going to play a bit of football with them. They went to the backyard, and started kicking the ball around. Louis grew tired, and went into the house to take a quick shower. Out of nowhere Conor started to get upset, and ignore the ball. As soon as Louis came back, camera in hand, he grabbed onto Louis' leg and looked up at him. "I want a sister. It's no fun to only play with Lucas all of the time." He finally stated, causing Louis to chuckle, "Is that why you're upset, buddy?" Conor frowned and nodded. "Okay, little lad, I'll talk to mummy and see what she says, okay?". He walked smiled,  despite the knot in his stomach. As much as he loved his children, he wasn't ready to have another child. Being a new father was scary and tiring enough, let alone a father of twin boys, and he was still learning. Adding another kid to the mix did not seem like a good idea...at least not at the moment.
