Little Mix One Shots

How time flys (Alerrie with a side of little mix🙂)

REQUEST- Lupe060301, here it is, the long awaited, highly fluffy Alerrie story xx
"Mammy how did you meet daddy?" Fleur asked me, perched on my knee. Her caramel curls were falling effortlessly over her shoulders like a waterfall cascading over a rocky cliff edge into an abyss
of nothingness.
"Well it was auntie Jesy who introduced us, her boyfriend at the time was friends with him and she thought we'd go well together" I began, glancing over at the baby who was in the cot, fast asleep.
"Okay, what did you think of him?" She continued, her azure eyes looking deep into mine, big and wide so I could see the flecks of dark blue that scattered her irises giving an illusion of a moving pool of water.
"Well, I thought he looked kind and nice and caring and sweet and he was good looking too. He was smartly dressed in a blue suit with a white shirt and a red tie. The first thing he did was tell me I looked beautiful before I had even properly said hi, I think that's what I liked about dad, he's such a gentleman." I explained recalling the night I met him and how I felt.
"What did you do on your first date mam?" She quizzed, fiddling with the necklace Alex had given me moving the sunshine back and fourth on the chain.
"Daddy came over to my house and we watched a movie and had Chinese and cuddled and stuff. We couldn't go out because there were lots of paparazzi so we stayed in and it was one of the best dates ever." I told her pushing a strand of hair from her freckle covered cheek.
"Did you know you loved him then?" She questioned, still fiddling with the necklace.
"I think so"
"Did you kiss?" She asked after she squealed with excitement.
"Yes we did baby yes we did" a voice said from the door causing us both to look up. Fleur squealed again and jumped off my lap running through the nursery to Alex who had evidently just got home from taking Charlie to dance. Char came running to me, dropping his bag halfway through the room.
"Hi baby boy, how was dance?" I asked him, once he had climbed on my lap and was cuddling me.
"Good mama, I learnt some more of the new routine for my competition." He told me, all excited.
"Wow, you'll have to show us later, did you have fun?" I questioned, stroking his hair.
"Yep, daddy watched the entire time." He said, still excited.
I glanced at Alex quickly who was in deep conversation with Fleur before replying to him "Did he, isn't he a good daddy?"
"Yeah," he nodded "mam?"
"Yes baby"
"Can I hold Jonah please?" He said, looking at me with the same puppy dog eyes that Alex gives when he wants his way.
"He's just fallen asleep Char, can you wait a while?" I asked him, glancing at the youngest member of our family who was out like a light.
"I guess," he sighed before saying "mama I hungy" miss pronouncing a couple of words.
"Okay, let's get up and go down stairs then and make tea, sound good?" I suggested, looking at his brown eyes and curly brown hair seeing only Alex in him.
"Otay" he said in a baby voice, jumping down and running to the door, looking back to make sure I was coming. Which I was, I was just making sure Jonah was warm enough and the monitor was on. By the time I reached the door, Fleur and Charlie had already run off but Alex was still waiting for me, his hands in his pockets.
"Hi sunshine" he said once I had reached him properly, his arms opening for me.
"Hi babe," I replied, melting into his arms feeling slightly exhausted.
"How's Jonah?" He asked, still embracing me tightly.
"Finally asleep, he's definitely got a sore tummy." I said, sighing after.
"Poor thing, so what are we going to do for dinner then, last one before school starts." He reminded me, as we walked hand in hand down the corridor.
"I was honestly thinking pizza, I know it's not healthy but they need a treat before they go back to school" I explained, letting go of him so I could walk down the stairs.
"So was I, let's do that then" he agreed, holding my hand again once we reached the bottom.
"I can't believe summer's already over, it doesn't feel like I've had them for 6 weeks" I admitted feeling a bit sad that I wouldn't have my two helpers anymore.
"I know and Charlie's going for the whole day now" Alex nodded, as we walked into the kitchen where the kids were sat playing with toys.
"Hey kiddos, Daddy and I were thinking we could have a pizza party tonight before school tomorrow." I said, once I had their attention.
"Cool!" Charlie shouted.
"Yeah!" Fleur agreed.
⌚later on⌚
We were eating our pizza when the baby monitor started crying, I swallowed my food and went to stand up but Alex put his hand on my leg and stopped me saying "I'll get him baby, stay there"
"Okay" I said, kissing him, as he walked away, "hows the pizza munchkins?"
"Good mama, thank you" Charlie said, as he bit into his pepper, sweet corn and chicken pizza.
"No problem chef Charlie, what about yours Fleur? Is it yummy?" I asked her, low key paying attention to the monitor where I could hear Alex talking to Jonah.
"Uh huh" she mumbled, her mouth full of food.
"Good" I said, biting into the pepperoni pizza I had made.
"Babe" I heard Alex shout
"Yeah?" I shouted back.
"Jonah's thrown up, I'm gonna give him a bath, you you wanna get the other two ready for a bath as well?" He told me, making my heart melt at how caring he was.
"Ok, love you" I shouted
"Love you too" he replied.
"Ready for bath and bed guys?" I asked them, noticing they were both done.
"Yeah I tired mama" Charlie said, getting up and laying his head on my lap.
"Ok baby, let's go then" I said, picking him up, resting him on my hip, Fleur standing up as well.
Once we were upstairs we went into the kids bathroom and started running the bath for them. Leaving them splashing in the water I walked into our  en suite to see Alex bathing a sleepy, sick covered Jonah.
"Oh my poor baba" I cooed, walking over and wrapping one hand round Alex and laying the other on Jonah's forehead feeling it burning up.
"I know, hopefully it's just a stomach bug and nothing else" Alex said, pooring some water over Jonah's body, washing the throw up off.
"Could I finish him and you do the other two because my back is killing and I don't think I could bend down?" I asked him.
"Course, you take it easy love, you only had him 2 months ago" he warned, kissing my head, letting me take over, holding Jonah's lethargic body in my hands.
"I will, love you," I whispered, grabbing a washcloth and putting some soap on it.
"Love you too" he replied, leaving the room.
"Right Jo-Jo let's get you sorted" I cooed, washing his body with the cloth, as he fell asleep. Once I had washed all of him I carried him through to our bed in a fluffy towel and laid him down. He was now fast asleep. I got him dressed and sat on the bed, cuddling him into me. I hated him being sick, it had happened a couple of time now and it was not fun. I could hear the kids laughing in the bath. Once I was certain Jonah was asleep I laid him in the Moses basket and walked out, going into the kids bathroom.
"How is he?" Alex asked, kissing me.
"Alright, he's passed out, I'm going to give him some medicine later on once these guys are asleep" I told him, watching the older two interact and play in the bath tub.
"Ok, and how are you, how's the back?" He asked quietly, knowing it was something the kids didn't need to know.
"Sore, I should probably lie down soon, but I want to put these to sleep." I told him, hugging him tight.
"Alright, I'll carry them okay" he said, then turned to the kids and said, "Right, time to get out, Fleur with mummy and Charlie with Daddy."
Fleur climbed out and I wrapped her up in a towel, leading her into her room. Once we were in there I got her her pyjamas and she got dressed whilst I grabbed the hair brush and conditioning spray. Once she was dressed and had taimed her main, I laid in bed with her and read her a story then sang her a song until she fell asleep. After that Alex and I swapped and I said goodnight to a sleeping Charlie and he did the same to Fleur.
I was one my way back down the corridor to our room when I felt a twinge in my back and I stopped, doubled over in pain. "Alex" I said kinda loud.
"What, oh babe, are you okay?" He asked, rushing over to my side.
"No, my back" I told him.
"Its ok, I'll carry you back to our room" he said then gently picked me up and carried me to my room. He laid me on the bed and pulled the covers over me, handing me an ibuprofen.
"Thanks, can you move Jonah here so I can see him?" I asked, knowing I wouldn't be able to twist and see him if he needed me.
"Of course, I'll get the medicine now." He said, picking him up and saying him down next to me.
"Thanks," I said, feeling the 2 month's head. It was burning under my fingertips so I called after Alex to grab the thermometer. Once he got back he gave me the thermometer which I stuck in Jonah's ear and waited for it to beep. When it beeped my eyes grew slightly larger because he had a really high temperature.
"Yeah we've got a sick Baba again bless him, I wonder if it's a cold and he's just thrown up from coughing or if he has got a tummy bug." I voiced my concerns to him, he was now crouched down next to the cot so I could see him better.
"Maybe, if he's any worse tomorrow we can take him to the doctor and get him checked out, let's not worry about it now, let's dose him up and if he's still bed we'll sort it okay." Alex said, grabbing the calpol, drawing up five mil and squirting it in Jonah's mouth, stroking his neck to get him to swallow.
"God I hate him being ill." I sighed, stroking his cheek that was flushed.
"Me too angel me too, let's cuddle and forget about it  okay." He said, climbing in, helping me move so I was laying on him.
"I love you Alex, I can't believe this life we've got." I said, kissing his uncovered chest.
"Me too, babs, you are the best mummy to our kids, I love you." He said kissing my head.
"Gosh how different is our life now then when we first met. I feel like time has flown by" I commented, trailing my nails over his toned skin.
"I know, we went out a lot more didn't we?" He said, stroking my hair.
"Yeah we were pretty wild, now we lay in bed talking about our sick kid and our kids going back to school, God we sound pathetic." I laughed into his chest.
"We do but we also have 3 kids. I ran into Jade today by the way, she had Lola and Elijah with her, she said she misses you so I invited her over tomorrow, once she's dripped the kids off." He said.
"Okay, cool, how did she seem, yanno with Jed in Japan for the next few months?" I asked concerned about my fellow Geordie having 5yo twins and one on the way on her own for a while.
"She seemed a little stressed but overall really well, she may just be putting a front up you know how she is but make sure you get to chill with her tomorrow okay?" He said making my heart swoon at how caring he was to my friends.
"I will, do you have a shoot tomorrow?" I asked him, glancing over at Jonah who coughed slightly before returning to light snores.
"Yeah, once we drop the kids off I'll have to go but I should be back before bedtime." He explained.
"Good" I said yawning after, completely shattered because I had been up since 5 with both Jonah and Charlie.
"Sleep baby, I'll take first shift" Alex whispered, kissing the top of my head, as I closed my eyes, my mind finally slowing down enough for sleep to take over.
⌚⌚
"Baby, I'm gonna get the kids up, Jonah's hungry by the looks of it." I head Alex say, as a kiss was placed on my head, morning light streaming in through the balcony door.
"Okay, morning babe" I said, turning over and connecting my lips to his after.
"Morning love, morning Jonah, you seem much better" he said back, kissing Jonah's forehead.
I watched him leave the room in only a pair of boxers, giving me a perfect view of his back muscles. Once he had gone I looked over to Jonah who's head was turned my way his eyes locking with mine, his mouth searching for food. I sat up and picked him up, pulling down my top, placing him next to my nipple so he could latch on, which he did straight away, his eyes wandering around. Laying my free hand on his forehead I felt it was much cooler than in the night which was good to see. Or feel, rather.
After I had been feeding him for 10 minutes I heard the patter of feet on the carpet outside, then the door opened and Charlie's figure appeared at the door, his monkey in his hand.
"Hi Mammy" he said, running in and climbing up on the bed.
"Hello my little receptioner, are you excited?" I asked, side hugging him because Jonah was still eating away.
"Yep, daddy's helping sissy get ready then it's my turn" he told me, staring at Jonah, I knew he wanted to ask me something.
"Is he? Did you sleep well monkey?" I questioned, looking at Jonah who was beginning to latch off.
"Yeah, Mammy?" He said curiously.
"Yes baby?" I replied, still side hugging him, his body curled into mine.
"Can I burp Jo-Jo?" He asked, as I pulled my top back up and laid Jonah over my shoulder on a muslin blanket.
"Yep, of course" I said turning slightly so Charlie could reach his back. Charlie squealed and sat on my legs, patting Jonah's back until we heard a burp come from the tiny baby, which made Charlie laugh which caused me to laugh.
"Charlie James, where have you gone?" We heard Alex shout, making Charlie hide behind my back slightly. Alex's body appeared at the door making Charlie squeak behind me. "Hey mumma have you seen a little boy with curly hair in here, he has a monkey?" Alex asked me, pretending he hadn't seen Charlie.
"Hmm, a monkey eh?" I said, tapping my chin with my free hand.
"Yeah, he's going into reception!" Alex continued, moving closer and closer to Charlie.
"He is, is he?" I continued, Alex right behind Charlie now who was sniggering.
"Here he is" Alex shouted, grabbing Charlie and chucking him over his shoulder tickling his side's. Suddenly Jonah started crying, I'm pretty sure it was because Alex shouted.
"It's okay Jonah, Dada's just joking" I cooed, rocking him gently.
"Oops sorry Jonah," Alex said dropping a giggling Charlie on the bed and taking a still wailing Jonah from my arms into his, letting his snuggle into his chest where he calmed down straight away, "Fleur needs her hair doing, I'd do it but it wouldn't turn out great and we really don't want that on the first day do we?" He said, chuckling.
"Okay, I'll do it you wanna put babs in the bouncer and get Char sorted?" I suggested, pealing back the covers.
"Of course, you taking him or shall I?" He asked referring to Jonah.
"It'll be easier with me because I'll do Fleur's hair in here." I told him stretching.
"Ok mummy, let's go then!" He cheered placing Jonah down and grabbing Charlie's hand walking through to his room, me following behind going to Fleur's room instead.
"Morning my big year 2 girl" I said walking in, seeing her at he desk drawing.
"Mamma!" She cheered running up and hugging my legs.
"Hi Baby, ready to do your hair?" I asked, noticing the mop of bed head.
"Yeah mama, can I hold Brother whilst you do it?" She asked me, holding my hand as we walked back to my room.
"Yeah I think you can, as long as you sit still okay" I said, as we got into the room and I took her into the bathroom, grabbing the chair for her to sit on. After that I grabbed Jonah and placed him in his sister's arms. Then I began to tackle the 'main' as Alex and I like to call it.
By the time Jonah started crying I had got two French braids done and I was just waxing the fly away bits. I took him in my arms and rocked him again hoping he'd settle but I could tell he still wasn't feeling well. "Right missy moo, it's time for breakfast before daddy takes you to school." I told her, as we left the bathroom and walked down stairs.
When we reached the kitchen Alex was placing a bowl of warm wheetabix in front of Charlie, still in his boxers.
"I'll sort the kids babe, you need to get ready"  I said, slapping his bum as he walked past me.
"Oi naughty the kids are here," he said quietly, stopping next to me.
"What I can't help it, anyway I think Jonah's still not great would you be able to bring the Calpol down." I asked him because Jonah was still whimpering.
"Of course, I love you baby" he said, leaning down and kissing me.
"I love you too" I replied, watching him walk away.
"Right what would you like Petal?" I asked Fleur, stroking her hair.
"Can I have ready break and Jam please?" She asked, sitting in her place next to Charlie who was almost done.
"Yep," I said grabbing the box and pooring some powder in adding milk, stirring then placing it in the microwave, all one handed. "Whilst that cooks what would you like to drink? We've got water milk apple juice or orange juice." I said, after looking in the fridge.
"Apple juice please Mammy" Fleur shouted.
"Okay, what about you mister, what would you like?" I asked Charlie looking at him.
"Milk" he said with his mouth full of wheetabix.
"Okay" I said preparing them, again one handed because Jonah was still too fussy to put down.
Once the kids had finished, I sent them to brush their teeth and collapsed on the couch, laying Jonah on my tummy. I sighed hearing how chesty his cries and breaths where, he definitely had a cold. "Shh, it's ok baba, mamma has you, I'm so sorry you aren't feeling well," I cooed, sitting him up so his airways were more open, patting his back hoping I could dislodge some of the mucus. He coughed a couple of times until he coughed again and projectile vomited onto me, causing him to cry more.
"Good boy, get it off your chest" I said, wiping the sick off my face with the muslin blanket. It was at this time I was thankful I had no sense of smell. He kept coughing this time mucus coming up instead of vomit, into my well positioned cloth covered hand.
"Babe where are you?" I heard Alex call.
"Follow the baby cries and coughs" I called back catching more phlegm.
"Ah here you are, oh my what happened?" He asked, presumably seeing me covered in baby sick and a red faced Jonah.
"I could tell it was stuck on his chest so I sat him up and started patting his back and he threw up at first, on my face, then began to cough up mucus so I'm now catching it" I told him like it was nothing, feeling a little more relieved as he began to calm down and I could hear his breathing sounding better.
"Best mummy award goes to you that's dedication right there, well I brought the medicine and also the mucus sucker because I thought it might help." Alex said showing me the tube and the bottle of medicine.
"Thanks, you about to head out then?" I asked him, sitting up so Jonah was now sat in my lap rather than on my stomach.
"Yeah I'll send the kiddos in to say goodbye when they're ready." He said, kissing mine and Jonah's heads.
"Okay, make sure you get pics" I said, kissing his lips.
"I will, love you babe, don't forget Jade's coming over" he reminded me, as be walked out of the room.
2 minutes later the kids came in saying goodbye to me and Jonah, wrinkling their noses up at the smell. I heard the front door slam and then there was silence, it was just me and baby boy who was now fast asleep again.
I took a shower and then bathed him, closing off the bathroom door so the steam couldn't escape, hoping it would loosen his chest. After that I changed into some sweats and put Jonah in a onesie, deciding to put him down in the nursery so he could sleep and I could tidy up a bit.
I had tidied most of the house by the time the door bell rang. I went to open it and slightly squealed when Jade came into view, her belly slightly protruding.
"Jadey" I squealed pulling her into a tight hug, careful of her bump.
"Perrie, how are you lovely?" she asked, walking into my house.
"I'm good, Jonah's sick at the moment so I'm a little stressed but all in all I'm good, how are you Preggers?" I asked, nudging her ribs with my elbow, we were now sat on the couch.
"I'm good, morning sickness is leaving slowly and baby is healthy" she told me, sipping at the tea that I had made for her in advance.
"Great, how was this morning for you, getting twins out the house on your own can't be easy." I acknowledged, glancing at the monitor to make sure Jonah was still asleep.
"Yeah it was a struggle Lola temporarily lost her shoe and El was not cooperating but I threatened daddy and they listened and found everything after that." She told me making me chuckle, "How about your lot anyway how were they, I saw Alex dropping them off this morning?"
"They were good, they're amazing with the baby, a little too helpful sometimes but all in all great, I couldn't really help get them ready this morning because of Jonah." I explained.
"I hope the twins are like that with this one, what's up with Jonah anyway?" She asked, patting her belly.
"I think he's got a cold so there's a lot of mucus on his lungs so he's coughing so much that he's vomiting." I told her, hearing his little coughs coming from the monitor.
"Lola had exactly the same problem when she was about his age, you've just to let him cough it out" she advised, Jonah crying out after.
"Speak of the devil, sorry Jay, I'll have to grab him, I'll be two minutes" I apologised, putting my tea down and standing up.
"Don't worry, can I come anyway, I wanted to see the nursery to get some ideas?" She said, standing when I nodded.
Once we had grabbed Jonah I let Jade cuddle him, as I made lunch and in no time we jumped in our cars to pick up the kids because they all went to the same school. Like always Jonah cried the whole time, he hated the car seat. Once at the school we climbed out and walked to the front gate where our four kids were waiting next to 3 other kids who happened to be the children of both Jesy and Leigh-Anne.
"Mammy" both mine and Jade's kids shouted, running up to us.
"Auntie Pez auntie Jade" Jesy's little girl, Josie shouted running up to me.
"Hi darlings, did you have a good day?" I asked hugging all of them.
"Yes mam," Charlie said.
"Yeah it was really good" Fleur said
"I had a cood day loo auntie Pez," Josie said, hugging my leg.
"You did, did you, Jose" I asked, chuckling because she was so confident like her mammy.
"I feel like my child is taking over your catch up with yours" I heard Jesy say behind me.
"Mummy!" Josie shouted running up to Jesy.
"Hi baby, I'm sorry about her pez" she said, ignoring Josie's rambling.
"No don't worry, she's just excited to see me, how are you anyway?" I asked, checking on Jonah.
"I'm good, how's the baba?" She asked, watching the kids run off to the park opposite the school, which was our tradition after school since AJ, Leigh's oldest started school.
"He's great, he's actually sick at the moment"  I said, picking up the car seat and crossing the road now that all of us were here.
"Oh no, how's the hubby?" She asked, as we sat at a bench.
"We're good, he's at a shoot all day today, we were actually talking about the old times last night" I explained and lifted Jonah out of the seat upon hearing him whimper.
"Were you? Hi Jonah, aren't you a little cutie, I'm auntie Jesy" she cooed, tickling Jonah's tummy
"Wanna hold him because I can hear Charlie crying?" I asked, passing Jonah to her and running over to the park where Charlie was face down screaming on the ground. "Char what happened baby?" I asked, picking him up and setting him on my knee, wiping away his tears.
"Fleur pushed me mamma, I cut my knee." He said, showing me a scrape on his knee.
"Right, let's make this better" I said carrying him over to the bench and grabbing a wipe and a plaster out my bag, sorting him out.
"I want daddy" he cried, as I wiped his knee.
"We'll see him soon, why did Fleur push you Baby?" I questioned, opening the plaster.
"I don't know" he said, twisting a piece of my hair around his finger, sucking his thumb.
"Okay," I said frowning, as I stuck the frozen plaster on his knee.
"you wanna cuddle auntie Leigh for a while, whilst mummy gets Fleur?"Leigh asked opening her arm for him. He thankfully nodded allowing me to walk over to the play equipment and grab Fleur who was swinging on the monkey bars with Idris.
"Fleur Noel, you come here right now" I said firmly. Looking scared she walked over to my side. "Did you push your brother?" I asked her, crouching down so I was at eye level.
"He was being a tag along" she said, looking down at the floor.
"That doesn't make it okay to push him he's your brother Fleur" I chidded, making sure she looked me in the eye.
"I'm sorry mamma" she said, hugging me.
"That's okay babe, but you need to apologise to Charlie then we're going home and you're going to have a time out and think about what you've done okay?" I said, kinda proud I followed through with the discipline.
"Yes mammy" she said, walking over to Charlie apologising then hugging him.
"Right we're gonna head off I think, we've got some tired babies." I said to the girls, Leigh-Anne now holding Jonah.
"Okay, have a nice evening, see you tomorrow?" Jesy asked me, as I took my baby and placed him back in the dreaded car seat.
"Yeah, I'm on pick up again so I should see you, have a nice evening too" I replied, making sure I had everyone, hugging the girls goodbye.
"Bye Pez, bye kids" Jade shouted.
"Bye guys" Leigh said, all of them waving at us, as I crossed them across the road to our car.
When we got home Alex was there and he had made dinner. We ate it then cuddled and watched a movie together, the kids crashing about a third of the way through resulting in daddy carrying them to bed. Once he came back down we cuddled and I thought about how lucky I was to have such an amazing husband and 3 beautiful children. All in all life was great and my heart was happy.
Oh how time flys.
Did you guys like it??
Hope it's okay x
You guys are amazing, honestly, amazing.
I love you all
