"How's she been?" Taylor questions me as she cradles Toby's in her arms. She had woken up about half an hour ago for a feed and then went back to sleep. We were still at the park and the boys were enjoying themselves on the playground. "She's been good, only cries when hungry or needs a change" I inform her as we watch the boys playing on the playground, they have been taking turns at sliding down the slide before running back up to the top together. "Hopefully she stays like that" I chuckle and agree with Taylor because I am loving my sleep at the moment.

We stay at the park for another hour and we only leave because Atticus had come over to me crying and stated that he was grumpy. I had to laugh when he said that but sobered up when he stared up at me with his tear filled eyes. We had just arrived back home and Atticus had stopped crying but was still very grumpy. "Shoes and jacket off" I tell Atticus who groans and slips the two items off before looking up at me. "Milk" he demands and I raise an eyebrow at him. "Excuse you?" I say as I continue to raise my eyebrow at the three year old who crosses his arms across his chest and stared back at me. 

I look away from him and at Toby who was still in the stroller and was just waking up which probably meant she was going to start crying for food. I lift her out of the stroller and cradle her in my arms before bending down a little bit to lift Atty off the ground and place him on my opposite hip. He huffs and wraps one arm around my neck as i carry him into the kitchen. I place him down on the counter before rummaging through the fridge for one of his bottles. I finally find one and pull it out before passing it to the sulking three year old.

Atticus immediately began drinking from it while I lift him back up off the counter and carry my two children upstairs, when we finally reach mine and Niall's bedroom Toby began to get fussy as she wanted her food and if i didn't act fast she was going to start crying. I reach the bed and place Atticus down and he immediately crawled to the top of the bed and got comfortable under the blankets with his little head on Niall's pillows. I grab the TV remote and turn the TV on so Atticus could watch something while he falls asleep.

I finally pick Toy Story on Netflix before taking a seat beside him in the bed, I put the blanket over my legs before adjusting my self so Toby had access to her milk supply and as soon as she realized, she latched on and began feeding. I smile down at her as I rub her back softly, While she drank I turn my head to Atticus to see he was staring at the TV screen while he drank from his bottle but his eyes were starting to droop. 

Five minuets later both of my little babies were sound asleep so I stand up slowly being careful not to wake either of them before walking out of the bedroom and into the nursery where I lay Toby down in her cot before placing her baby blanket over her softly. While doing this I hear the front door open and slam shut which means Niall is probably home. I let out a sigh and start to walk out of the bedroom to scold Niall for being so loud but stop when I hear someone call out that definitely wasn't Niall.

"Charlie!" I hear my brother Jason call out angrily, I frown and quietly shut Toby's bedroom door before rushing down the stairs to scold him for being so loud. I could tell he was in the kitchen because he was talking which meant he was on the phone. "Shut up you idiot, the kids are asle-" I stop in the middle of my sentence as I stop and stare at the two people sitting at my kitchen counter. Jason sat on one side with a pissed off expression on his face as he faced the teenage boy on  the other side of the counter who looked bored shitless.

I look over the teenager with tears in my eyes, I haven't seen him in nearly 4 years as I was threatened. He's changed so much in the past few years, his hair is shorter, he has gained more muscle and he's not the little boy he was the last time we were together..okay well 13 isn't a little boy but he was young. Puberty hit him like a truck is all I can say. He turns to look at me and his eyes lit up a little bit. "Hey sis" Luke speaks for the first time as I continue to start at him. I can't believe he's actually here, in front of my eyes.

A tear falls from my eyes as I hear his voice, it definitely hit puberty. "What are you doing here?" I question as more tears began to fall and I couldn't seem to stop them. Luke jumps off the stool he was sitting on and rushes over to me. "Don't worry about it" Luke tells me softly before he wraps his arms around me, I wrap my arms around his waist and cry into his jumper. I might be crying because I haven't seen him since he was 13 or it might be because my 17 year old little brother is taller than me.

Luke hugs me to his chest tighter and he whispers soothing words into my ear to try and calm me down but nothing really worked because I am so overwhelmed at the moment. He should be back home with mum and dad, Why he is here. I back away from him after a little bit before looking up at him. "Luke, why are you here?" I question again but this time with more authority. "I was kicked out okay?" Luke tells me as he sheepishly rubs the back of his neck, it was something he has always done when he was nervous.

"What did you do?" I decide to not even wait for him to answer as I turn to Jason who was watching the whole thing in silence but I could still see he was angry. "Why is he here?" Luke huffs from beside me because I had not bothered with his answer. "This little shit was caught smoking and getting drunk at the house while mum and dad were away for work" My eyes widen as Jason tells me. Our parents are really strict people, which is why I no longer live with them or have any contact with them, I was also kicked out, for being pregnant.

I turn back to Luke who was looking down at the ground nervous for what I'm going to say to him. I don't say anything instead I reach up and whack him across the head. "Are you fucking serious?" I question as he rubs his head "that was mean" He mumbles "Want me to whack you again?" Luke immediately shakes his head and moves a step back from me. "good choice" I say as I turn back to Jason.

"Why did you bring him here?" I question. "Firstly because I know you'd want to see him, and secondly can he live here?" I raise an eyebrow at my older brother. "Why can't you look after him?" I question "Because I don't have enough room for a kid" Jason tells me which makes Luke scoff. "I'm 17, not a kid" We both turn to Luke and at the same time say "you're still a kid" He huffs and takes a seat back at the counter.

"I'll have to ask Niall" I tell Jason who nods his head. "When is he meant to get back?" Jason questions, as i was about to answer the front door was opened, followed by it being closed, softly unlike my idiot brothers. "Babe?" Niall calls out, but not as loud as Jason previously had. "in here" i call out and a moment later he walks into the kitchen, his eyes widen as he takes in the site. "What's going on?" Niall asks as he looks at my two brothers.

Niall has already met Luke so I didn't need to introduce the two of them. "Hey mate" Jason greets with a small smile. "you remember Luke don't you?" I ask Niall who looks at the teenager. "Yeah I do, what's he doing here?" Niall asks as he turns to me. "The idiot got kicked out and Jason wants to know if he can live here" I tell Niall, he processes it for a few minuets before nodding his head. "Sure why not"
