"This is so crazy, yet so cool."
"It's exciting."
"It's amazing."
"We're almost there, do you mind waking them?"
"No one needs to wake us up if you guys can't keep your mouths shut," I say softly as I stir. My back cracks as I raise my head. I pop my neck as Niall kisses my cheek.
"We are we going?" I question.
"IKEA, we're going to pick out Emily's bed and bedding, and then going clothing shopping across the street." I nod with a smile and release my hand from Emily's and turn in my seat to brush Emily's loose hair from her face.
"Wake up, Emmy," I say softly. She mumbles before nodding and sitting up. We pull into the parking lot of IKEA and park towards the front.
Everyone unbuckles as Harry turns off the car and I undo Emily's car seat. She giggles as my hands brush her sides. I place my hands on her sides again and she laughs trying to push my hands away. I chuckle as Niall opens her door and she turns her head. They keep eye contact before she puts her arms in the air. He reaches down and picks her up out of her seat and places her on his right hip. She studies his facial features as I step out of the car and close the door. I continue to watch them before she lays her head on his chest and closes her eyes. He smiles then looks up at me.
"I guess I've been accepted," he states. I smile with a nod before we all make our way into the store. We grab a cart then follow the arrows as Emily sleepily points to all the toys and stuffed animals in the kids sections. We make it to the kids beds and Niall lets her go as she looks around. We all scatter and look at the different beds as I follow Em. She points to a simple bed frame and nods her head.
"I want dat one," she tells me. She looks up to me and I smile down at her.
"Harry," I call out. He and Gemma make their way over to me and I show them the bed Emily picked out. Niall comes over and snaps a pic of the ID number and brand. She nods her head rapidly before reaching up and grabbing Gemma's hand. She smiles as Emily giggles and swings their arms.
We make our way through the kids isles as Emily points to things she want. We get her a few stuffed animals and wall decorations as well. She picks out her sheets and blankets as we continue through the store. As we continue walking through the store Emily goes from holding Gemma's hand, to Harry's, to accidentally grabbing a strangers, thenyoutub Niall's, and now she's holding mine.
"Vi-Vi?"
"Yes, baby?"
"Can I have a piggy-back ride?" I nod and pull her off to the side and squat down so she can crawl up on my back. She wraps her arms around my neck as I stand and place my hands under her legs to keep her up. I catch back up with the others as we continue through the store.
We make our way to the end of the store as we Harry grabs an employee.
"Go ahead and sit and have lunch or something okay? I'm going to have them deliver the things to the house, I'll be over there in a few." I nod as Harry smiles at Emily waving at him. He waves back as I hear her giggle in my ear. I grab Niall's left hand with my right as I still have my left hand holding Emily up. Gemma comes up beside me and boops Emily's nose. She giggles as the line moves forward. Gemma and Emily continue to play as Niall leans closer towards me.
"This may sound weird, but I can physically feel your happiness, it's radiating off of you." I smile and turn my head giving him a soft kiss on the cheek.
