I sit by Liam and hug him. Oliver is still asleep in his crib. He drapes his arm over me. The boys are scattered out. "So, Liam, what do you want me to make for lunch" I ask. "Um... Pizza is good" he states distractedly. I get up and make four frozen pizzas. I put them on plates and take them into the living room. I get a couple slices and then the boys swarm around it. I go to the kitchen and eat in silence. I can hear the boys chatter loudly and begin to wonder if they woke up Oliver. I get up and walk to his room. Oliver must ahve just woke up because he's looking around. "Hey baby" I coo. He turns his head and smiles. I scoop him up and take him out to the living room. Liam walks up to me "We have a signing tomorrow." I sigh "Liam, why are you just now telling me this? How are you going to cover up your scars?"
"I forgot about it. I don't know, a jacket."
"I guess that'll work."
"It'll be fine. They won't find out."
"I hope so. Can we come? You just got out of the hospital and I want more time for us."
"You're always welcome." Liam wraps his arms around me and pull me close. He kisses my forehead. "I love you so so much" he whispers. I smile "I love you too." We walk back to the living room. The game finally ends and they leave. I rock Oliver in the rocking chair. Liam brings me the food and i give Oliver small pieces of food. "He looks just like you, adorable" Liam comments. I smile and look up at him "No.He looks like you too." He chuckles. I smile and wish I could pull him into a hug. Instead I grab a toy, handing it to Oliver. Oliver gives a grin, his two bottom teeth showing. Liam smiles and picks him up. He spins him around. I get up and stretch.
Liam laughs when Oliver flings himself towards me. I take him and turn the television to the music channel."Hey! I was watching that" Liam jokes. I roll my eyes "Yes because I'm sure you were interested in Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."
"I was!"
"Yeah and I like to watch Barney."
"Fine. I'm glad you changed it, that show is annoying."
"Exactly."
I turn my attention back to Oliver and dance to the song that was playing.
Liam's P.O.V
She's so beautiful. I almost told her that I was supposed to go to a club with the boys tonight. But I decided not to go. I get a text from Niall 'You should've came.' I ignore it and join them in dancing. I don't need to go to a club to have a good time. Spending time with a family I love is all I need. Rose laughs when Oliver hits me. I lightly tug on her brown hair. "Ow! Jack ass" she comments. I smirk "Don't laugh when Oliver hits me, that encourages him." She shrugs and continues to dance. Suddenly, one of the bands songs come on. It's Half A Heart. I hum along and she sings to. This is the first time I've ever heard her sing. "Rose,you are an excellent singer" I say in awe.
She blushes and ignores the comment. I walk up behind her and hug her. "Don't be shy. I was just making a comment" I say.
"I know. But before I met you I'd considered auditioning for the X-Factor and decided not to. Every now and then I wonder what it would've been like if I did. That's why I don't sing much."
"Because if you would've auditioned you wouldn't of met me and had Oliver.."
"Yeah."
That stung. She gave up her dream to just meet us and now she can't have that dream. Well, that's what she thinks anyway.I have an idea but it will take a while to convince her. Later that night, as we lay in bed, I say "You can still have your dream." She looks up at me with big eyes "Really?"
"Really. You can make a demo and send it in or audition for X-Factor."
"But what would I do with Oliver?"
"You can take him with you."
"I don't know. If I got in, I'd never see you and you know how hard that is for me."
"Baby, I'd be right there supporting you."
She nods and I smile. I doubt she's going to actually do that but at least she's considering it. She deserves her chance at fame and I really think she could get that chance.
Rose's P.O.V
Those words echoed in my mind all night. Could I really try to reach a dream that seems almost impossible? I tossed and turned in the dark. I got up and Liam woke up for a minute. "Where are you going" he asks. "To get a drink. I can't sleep" I state. I expected an answer but he had already fell back asleep. I go to the kitchen and get a glass of water. I walk to the living room and sit on the couch, scrolling through channels. Finally I decide on TBS. I walk back to the kitchen and get chips. I pour some into a bowl and take them to the living room. My mind is reeling from Liam's statement. I lay there for a while and slowly feel sleep creep up.
"Rose, come on. We have to go to the check up for Oliver" Liam says, causing me to awake. I groan and stretch. "How'd I get in here" I ask. "You must've fallen asleep after getting water" he says. I nod and notice that Liam is dressed. So is Oliver. I get up and go to change.
