You And I

Chapter 25:

Syd:

My mom decided to keep Ben for the rest of the week and as it was nice to finally not have to deal with a screaming child who was mad because you took him from the TV to bath him while his show was on. It was getting kinda boring too. I got use to the being a mom that without him, I was lost. We were sitting on the couch when someone knocked on the door. When I got to the door there was no one there but there was a box outside.

I picked up the box and stood in the door way reading the note tapped to the front. "Figured since you like the first once so much I'd give you another, surprise, Love you and please don't kill me ~ E" I sighed already having an idea of what it was and I opened the box.

Sure enough, just as I thought there was red lingerie in the box. I smirked and went to the bedroom not answering any of Niall's questions. I walked out into the living room and Niall was looking at his phone. "So what was in the - whoa." He said dropping his phone as I stood with my hands on my hips.

"Who the hell keeps doing this and whoever it is, please tell them to continue." He said walking over and kissing me.

Well there goes this week being boring. Finally the weekend came and we got our baby back. I was so excited when I went to get him. He seemed like he had a great time and he made lots of crafts while at grandmas as well. I put him in the car and went home. Niall was sitting on the couch holding something in his hands. "What's that?" I asked.

He turned around and I nearly fell over. I put Ben in his pack n play and walked over to him. He was holding the pregnancy test I took after everything that happened Monday. We both completely forgot about it, but apparently child number two was going to be on the way soon. I smiled as I took it in my hands and a tear ran down my face. I was not only going to be a mom of one child but now two. Niall hugged me and I turned around to look at Ben. "Hey Benny, guess what?" I asked him.

"What mama?" He asked, this child is a miracle I swear. He's only turning one next month and he can talk and almost walk not to mention close to feeding himself. We figure after we get him walking we're going to potty train him.

"You're gonna be a big brother." I said and he smiled.

"No I not." He said laughing.

"Yes you are." I said and he giggled.

"I hope I get a sister." He said.

I smiled "I hope you do too." I said and Niall smiled as he walked over and picked Ben up.

Now that it's December, we figured it would be a good time to start decorating for the holidays. This is going to be Ben's first Christmas since he spent last years in my stomach. I got the tree from the basement and put it up with Niall's help being that I'm short. Niall but Ben on his shoulders and had Ben put the star on top. We plugged it in and Ben awed and ooed at the pretty lights as they shimmered off the ornaments.

Christmas is only a week away, I know call us crazy for decorating so late but with an almost one year old and Niall working so much lately it's been crazy. I just finished getting Ben to bed when Niall came upstairs and hugged me from behind. He kissed my shoulder and he picked me up carrying me to our bed.

"I don't know where I'd be without you." He said as he laid down next to me kissing my forehead.

"I don't know where I'd be without you." I said to him as he cuddled up to me and we fell asleep.
