"Ashley."  Someone kissed me softly, and my eyes fluttered open.  "Guess what day it is?"  "Friday?"  He nodded.  "We get to bring Charlie home today."  I smiled, and shot up out of bed.  "I have to finish everything before 3:00?!"  There really wasn't that much I had to do, since we already painted and put together furniture, but I worry about everything.  "Liam and I moved the crib in this morning, we'll just have to put everything where you want it now."  I nodded, and went into the nursery.  It was really starting to look like a nursery now, with the furniture in it and the walls painted.  I got to work right away, telling Niall where to move everything.  (I wasn't going to lift all of that stuff.)  While he moved the crib into the corner, I put some decorations on the shelves hanging on the wall.  I also hung letters that spelled out 'Charolette' on the back wall.  "i think we're done."  I stood by the door with Niall, and observed all of our hard work.  "It's perfect.  Thank you for all of your hard work."  "You're welcome.  Now, let's go get our little girl."  I loved hearing that.  Our little girl.  I grabbed the baby carrier, and walked out to the car with Niall.

"Hi, we're here to pick up Charolette Horan."  I couldn't help the proud smile that was on my face.  The nurse looked through some papers, and pulled a few out.  "Alright, I'm going to need you to sign a few papers here, and we'll have someone bring her out for you."  I signed the papers, and handed them to Niall to do the same.  "Here she is."  A nurse in scrubs walked around the corner holding our precious little baby in her arms.  She passed her to me, and I looked down at her in awe.  "Hi, Charlie.  You're going home today."  I swear she smiled just a little bit when I said that.  She was actually starting to look like Niall more than me, which was a good thing, in my opinion.  "Thanks, ma'am."  Niall thanked the nurse as we put Charlie in her carrier.  Walking out of the hospital with that carrier was the best feeling ever.  "We're going home, baby girl."  I rode home in the backseat with Charlie in her carrier, since this was her first car ride.  Once we got home, Louis, Liam, Zayn, Harry, Kat, and Georgia were all waiting for us inside.  Hmm, I don't remember giving them a key...?  "She's adorable!"  Zayn whispered, as she wrapped her hand around his finger.  Everyone crowded around us, and went on, and on about how sweet she was.  I couldn't agree more.

*Four years later*

"Oh dear, Niall!"  I looked down at my smiling little girl.  She was smiling, because she had written all over herself with sharpie.  Niall came barreling down the stairs, and stood right in front of Charlie.  I could tell that he was trying his very hardest not to laugh, so I slapped him on the back.  "Charolette Horan, what did daddy tell you about writing on yourself?"  She shrugged innocently, and put on her best puppy dog face.  "Am I in twouble?"  I nodded, but 'daddy' broke down.  "Of course not, sweetie."  Four years old, and she's already getting her way.  "I'm sowwy, I won't ever do it again."  He nodded, and pat her head before she ran off.  "You can't keep breaking down like that, she's going think she can get her way all the time."  He smiled sheepishly, and kissed me on the nose.  "You mean like her mom?"  I slapped him on the arm, and looked out of the window in out living room.  He came up behind me, and wrapped his arms around my waist.  "I love you, Ashley."  "You better."  A lot has happened over the past few years, and right now, I was the happiest mom, and wife in the world.

Thank you to everyone who has read my book, and stuck with me since the very beginning.  This book has done extremely well, and I can't believe the amount of support I have received from all of you.  I love all of my readers!  xx

I'm writing two books right now, so I'm not sure if I'll post Charlie's story, or the other one first :) 

Peace >.<
