Epilogue

Ten years later

Niall's P.O.V

"Dad!" I heard a loud shrill and little thudding footsteps racing down the hall.

"Yes, Soph?" I said with an endearing smile on my face as she appeared in the kitchen.

"Emma stole my shirt and won't give it back! I wanted to wear it tonight at dinner with uncle Louis and Harry!" The fifteen year old fussed. A shy thirteen year old, Emma came peaking around her older sisters shoulder.

"Em, why'd you take your sisters shirt?" I asked as I walked over to her and knelt down in front of her.

"Daddy." She whined as I gave her a stern look. "I like the way it fits me, it's not too tight on my like my other shirts, and it's pretty." Said said looking down.

"Sweetheart, you don't have to take your sisters clothes, just tell me or Papa and we'll buy you new clothes." I tried. She nodded. "Soph, is there any chance you'd let your sister wear the shirt just for tonight?" I pleaded, looking between my two girls.

"Okay, I guess." I smiled at me as I gave her a kiss on the forehead. "It looks good on you Em." She complimented as the pair walked away to get ready. As I turned around, to get back to dinner, I looked at the clock. 3:49, Liam should be home any minute. I went to get the pasta from the cabinet and nearly tripped at two rowdy boys came running through the kitchen.

"Colin, Asher!" I yelled and at the sound of my voice, Colin seven, and Asher five going on six in a month, stopped immediately and turned towards me. "Wash up, now. Your father will be home any minute." I voiced receiving a nod. They turned on their heals and began sprinting off toward the stairs, Cooper chasing after them. "Stop running!" I yell but to no avail, they continued on their merry way. I shook my head continuing on the food.

Soon enough I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. "Hello." I hear Liam's rough voice say in my ear. I gathered myself before responding.

"Hey, love." I said turning around in his arms.

"It smells great. What are you cooking?" He said peaking behind me.

"Parmesan and spinach penne pasta with cheesecake for dessert." I smiled proudly.

"Yum." Liam said kissing my softly on the lips before pulling away and grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge. "Lou, Harry, and the twins still coming over?" He asks taking a seat at the island. Our Friday tradition for the last year or so. Every Friday we cook a meal, and go over one another's house, switching over every week, this week we're hosting, next week will be Louis and Harry, then back to us, so on and so forth. We stay for dinner and then talk while we let the kids play and usually wind down the night by dessert, popcorn, and movies. The kids love it. And to be honest so do us grown ups.

"Yeah." I said turning to him slightly while preparing the pasta sauce.

"Papa!" Asher came running followed by Emma, both tackling him in a hug. He pulled both in kissing then on the forehead, asking about their Friday and school. Is didn't take long before Sophia and Colin heard the chatter and came down too.

As I finished up dinner, Liam went upstairs to get changed, and Sophia set the table for us. A set back watching the boys play what ever video game they were playing on the PlayStation and Emma doing her homework. I don't know how I ever got so lucky with this bunch. I love all of them to death. I heard a small gurgle come from the monitor sitting to my left. Smiling, I made my way upstairs. As I opened the door I see Bella stood up looking straight at me, waiting to be picked up. I stop and stare for a moment. She reminds me so much of Emma in this way and so many others but she stood there making grab hands till I picked her up.
