Roller Skating

I walked to the car. Yes, walked. No hopping, rolling, just walking. And it felt good. It's been over a month since a got it off and almost two months since I've seen Niall. I've missed him so much. That's when his name comes across my phone screen.
"Hey, Princess," Niall says.
"Hi," I say happily and I get into my car.
"It feels like I haven't talked to you in forever."
"It's been a week, but I know how you feel. We need more time," I say and I can almost see him smiling that amazing smile.
"Exactly! I hope we get a break soon," Niall says.
"I will go to America and force you home if you don't," I say and he laughs.
"Sir, no phones while we're landing," someone says.
"Landing? Where are you?" I ask. Isn't he in America?
"Bye, love you beautiful," he says quickly. What?
"Love you, too," I say, hanging up, deciding to go with it. We really did need more time. As we drove home, I prayed Dad had left. Nope. He stayed at a small apartment with his new wife but came over often to catch up with us. I needed an escape from his judge-y-ness of Niall and even my friends. He said Gretch and Alyssa were rude, but they practically live here and it's just how we act at each other's houses.
"Hey, you're home," he says, getting out of a chair.
"Yeah, home," I say. Elise and Tyler were playing in the other room. Elise has already perfected the big sister role.
"How was shopping?" Dad asks.
"Good," I say simply.
"I made lunch," he says.
"I'm not hungry, thank you though," I say. Well, he was at least making an effort.
"Well, there is something you should know," Dad says.
"What?" I ask.
"Hi, Alex," an Irish accent says.
"Niall!" I scream, turning around and jumping onto him and holding him tight.
"I missed you, too," he says.
"So that's why you were on a plane," I say, looking up at him.
"Genius," he says, kissing my nose and smiling. God, I missed that smile.
"What about us?" I turn to see Niall had brought EVERYONE.
"LIAM!" I shout, hugging him. He and I had really become friends, and he was basically my best guy friend now, along with Harry, Zayn, and Louis but still. I missed him. Harry and Zayn seemed preoccupied by Elise and Tyler.
"Why didn't you guys tell us you were coming?" I ask.
"Because it wouldn't make it a surprise!" Louis exclaims. What a weirdo.
"No cast?" Liam says.
"No cast," I say simply, gesturing to my leg. Liam smiled and messed up my hair.
"Hey!" I say, trying to fix it.
"Well, let's go do something!" Louis shouts, grabbing his jacket. I rolled my eyes.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"Roller skating?" Liam says.
"I love skating!" Elise shouts.
"Me too, let's go!" Louis says, and we all end up following him out the door.
"I wanna go!" Tyler shouts.
"No, Ty, big kids only," Dad says, holding him back.
"Oh no, he's okay. C'mon, let's go skating," I say, taking Tyler's little hand. Niall puts his arm around me and I put mine around him while still holding onto Tyler. Then I realized I didn't know how old Tyler even was. Huh, was I a bad sister then?
"Tyler, how old are you?" I ask him and he olds up three fingers. I remember Dad saying his birthday was coming up soon so Tyler would be four in about a month, I think.
We get into the car and I grab Tyler's car seat. I buckle him up and we all get into the car. I sit next to Tyler and Niall, Louis and Liam sit in the front, and Elise, Harry, and Zayn all sit in the very back. Louis drives quickly and soon we're at the rink. We all go inside and get shoes. I get Tyler the little kid ones that are really easy before I get mine and Niall's.
"Omg, you're Niall Horan! Can we get a picture?" A girl comes up to Niall with her phone. He nods and quickly takes one before putting on his skates and joining me. I take Tyler's hand and walk him out to the rink. He about slips the first time, but I quickly catch him. He almost laughs as he gets back up and tires again. Then he about slips again, but Niall grabs his other hand and helps him.
"There you go, Ty," Niall says.
"Thank you," Tyler says in his adorable voice.
"Your welcome. C'mon, we gotta beat those weirdos up there," Niall says, pointing to the boys and Elise in front of us. Tyler nods and we all skate together. I have to admit, it was adorable. Niall and Tyler bonded so well and Niall is so great with kids. I laughed and smiled as they were being idiots trying to beat the others.
"Alex," Tyler says as we stop for a break. Niall had gone to get some water.
"Yeah?" I reply.
"Are you gonna marry that boy?" Tyler asks. If I had water in my mouth, I would have spit it right out.
"Tyler, that's way far in the future. It's not up to me, anyways," I say.
"So you won't? I don't want him to leave," Tyler pouts.
"He won't leave, I promise. He might be gone for a while, but he'll come back. And as for marrying him, maybe," I say and he smiles.
"Here ya go." Niall reappears with three waters, one smaller than the other two.
"Thanks," I say and we all drink quickly so we can skate again. That is until we're mobbed.
People started flashing their camera and screaming. I quickly grabbed Tyler and we ran back to the other.
"Guys, we gotta go," Niall says. The boys and Elise nod as we rush out of there. They probably got hundreds of pictures but we just needed to go. Everyone got in and I quickly strapped up Tyler.
"What happened?" Tyler asks.
"It was just some people wanting pictures, we're okay now," I tell him before he panics. I really hope Dad wasn't mad his son was going to be in some pictures, but what could we do?
"Those pictures will be in a lot of places tomorrow," Liam says after a few minutes of driving. Tyler had already fallen asleep and he looked a lot like Dad.
"Yeah," was our simple response. We pulled into the driveway and I picked up a sleeping Tyler.
"I'll take him," Niall says, picking him up from me. I nod and grab his car seat.

"He's fast asleep up there," Niall says, coming downstairs.
"I texted my dad and he said they could get him in the morning. He and Morgan could use some quiet time," I say. That was his new wife, Morgan.
"I bet they could," Niall says, hugging me and kissing the top of my head. We all lay down on the couches except for Louis who decides to lay on the floor.
"Movie?" Liam says.
"Sure," I say and we end up watching Frozen, which is one of my favorites.
"Okay, the talking snowman is a little creepy," Zayn says.
"What! How can you not like Olaf? He likes to give warm hugs!" I exclaim.
"It's just, people are quoting a snowman with a lop-sides head and it's a little weird and creepy!" Zayn defends. I glare at him and continue to watch the movie.
"Put me in summer and I'll be.... A HAPPY SNOWMAN!" Olaf sings. It was by far my favorite part of the movie. Olaf is just so happy, like the unknown doesn't scare him. I want that someday, for the future not to be scary and to always see the bright side of thinks, even if it meant melting or leaving. Wow, Zayn was right, this snowman stuff is kinda weird.
"Goodnight, beautiful," Niall says. Its the last thing I remember before falling asleep.

"ALEX, ELISE, BOYS!" Dad yells.
"Yeah?" I ask sleepily.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you, but I do have a question," he says. I look around to see everyone else was starting to wake up, too.
"What is it?" Louis asks, stretching.
"What is this?" Dad asks. He holds up a magazine that says "One Direction caught roller skating with two girls and a three year old?" The front cover was a picture of Niall, Tyler, and I skating.
"That is a bunch of paper stapled together and priced too high," Louis remarks. I doubt sass will save us from this, Lou.
