You walked around to the side of your car, ready to get the car seat out of the back seat. But Niall came from behind you and insisted on carrying it so you could rest. You obliged and swung he diaper bag over your shoulder and headed towards the front door of your house. You opened the door and the baby began to stir in his seat. Niall was quick to set him down on the nearby coffee table and started to rock the carrier in an attempt to sooth the infant. When that didn't work, he picked him up, carefully resting his small frame on his chest, rocking him while he made quiet shushing noises. Beatrix was staying with Niall's brother for the time being and you had about an hour before they would be at the house. Despite your husbands attempts to quiet Oliver, he still made small whimpering noises and was obviously in distress. You prepared a bottle, took your son from Niall and sat down to feed him. He finished quickly and you burped him before he settled into a sleep. You and Niall enjoyed the peace and quiet that was sure to disappear once Bea and Gregg arrived. ••• About 45 minutes later, you were jolted from your cat nap by Beatrix cuddling into your side. "Hey Bea Bea! What's up princess?" You spoke softly, careful not to wake the baby. "I's swim..." she thought for a moment. "an a ice cweam wit unca gregg!" Beatrix stumbled over the sentences. "That's awesome bug!" Niall walked over after letting Gregg head home. "We have someone we want you to meet!" He was speaking softly to try to get Bea to do the same. "Why we talk quiet?" Bea whispered the last word. "Because baby Oli is sleeping" You replied. "Baby Oli!!" Bea cheered, ignoring her whisper from just a minute ago. "Yes, baby, but you have to be quiet." Niall reminded her. You walked with your husband and your daughter to the spot near the tv where you had placed a small bassinet. Inside of it was a sleeping Oliver. He stirred at the sudden lack of light as your shadows covered the light from the lamp. With a slight whimper he opened his big blue eyes but stayed quiet, just admiring his new surroundings. He gave a big yawn and stretched his tiny limbs, his white onesie -that was tad too big- was keeping him snug and warm.

"Would you like to hold your brother, Bea?" You asked Beatrix. She looked at you shyly and responded. "Yes! Hold brudder!" "Okay Bea, go sit down and daddy will bring him to you." Niall told the young girl. She did as she was told, her short, dirty blonde hair had fallen in her face and she brushed it back with her small hands. She sat on the couch and you placed a pillow under her elbow and situated her arms as Niall brought Oliver over to you and Beatrix. He set the gurgling baby down, slowly, trying not jostle her. Beatrix smiled and took her hand from under Oliver's legs, letting them set on the pillow beneath them. The baby wriggled slightly at the loss of contact but again, remained relatively silent. Bea then took her free hand and run it over Oli's head, gently.

Then worked her way down to the baby's face, scanning it over his eyes and tiny nose, which made the baby sniffle and scrunch up his face.
"Oh no, Bea Bea, you can't touch Oli's face, you have to be gentle." You scolded her but stayed calm. When the baby did not calm himself down after about 30 seconds, you took him off of his sisters lap and rocked him, giving his face soft kisses as he waved her arms and kicked his little legs. "I think Oli needs some sleep, what do you think princess?" Niall asked the older girl, and she rubbed her own eyes. "Looks like everyone does." you chuckled, placing a now calm Oliver down in his bassinet and Niall put Beatrix on the love-seat on one side of the living room. You and Niall cuddled up on the couch on the other side of the room and the family nap had begun. It did not last however, because, of course, Oli was up in 20 minuets needing a diaper change. But you were enjoying your time as a new family of 4.
