The One Mistake

Chapter 7

Georgia's POV

I feel strong arms lift me up and carry me inside the house.

I'm exhausted and I just want to sleep.

"Hey boys are you staying?" I hear Liam ask.

"Of course! We couldn't leave you guys!" Louis exclaimed.

I squirmed in the person's arms and I felt someone stroking my hair as well.

I let out a small groan as I try and shift and the person sets me down on what I think is the couch.

I slowly open my eyes and see Liam's beautiful brown eyes staring into mine.

"Why hello." he whispers.

I smile and rub my eyes.

I sit up and Liam sits down next to me and I rest my head on his shoulder.

"I love you Georgia." he whispers and kisses my head.

"I love you too Liam." I say snuggling into his chest more.

Eloise waddles toward us with the boys right behind her and she squeals and tries to waddle faster.

I laugh but Liam stays silent.

He always laughs when stuff like this happens.

I look up at him and his face is sad and he is staring straight ahead.

"Hey..whats wrong?" I say standing up on my knees so I am face to face with him on the couch.

"I missed everything in Eloise's life. I'm such a horrible father." he whispers.

I don't say anything just stand up and grab his hand dragging him upstairs with me.

"We'll be right back boys." I say.

They hear but are too preoccupied with Eloise to respond.

I sit Liam down on my bed and pull out a photo album of Eloise.

I sit down next to Liam and open it.

We both look at the photos silently smiling at Eloise laughing and crawling everywhere.

There was one of me and her the day she was born and I heard a sniffle from Liam.

I look up and I see him crying.

"Liam no don't cry." I say kissing his cheek.

"I'm so sorry for leaving you. I won't ever leave again without you." he whispers staring straight into my eyes.

I smile and instantly know how to cheer him up.

I put the album back and grab the picture frame I made about a couple months ago.

I hand it to Liam and he smiles.

It's a 3 different photos.

One of Eloise, one of me, and one I have of Liam from before he left.

He handed it back to me and I set it back on my dresser.

His eyes were still watery and I frowned because I hated it when he cried.

I sit down again next to him and kiss his cheek and put my arms around his waist.

He lifts my chin up and gives me a small peck.

I frown again at his teasing and kiss him better.

"That's better." I say pulling away.

With that I get a small laugh and a smile.

"Our family is perfect. I wouldn't have it any other way." I state.

And it's completely true.
