Alerrie: His Son

Fifteen.

Perrie's POV:

It was a Saturday afternoon and Jordie was coming to our house for the second time, however, this time he was staying the night. Alex was at a match, but I'd decided to stay home with the kids instead of going to it. I'd prepared one of the spare rooms for Jordie. It was one of my favourite rooms in the house - spacious, with grey walls, a large queen-sized oak bed, an oak wardrobe, oak drawers and a grey lamp on top of an oak bedside table. I made the bed with a light grey and blue marbled bedspread and put a bottle of water, a tub of chewing gum and a basket of toiletries on the bedside table. Very pleased with the result, I finished it off by placing a lavender reed diffuser on the drawers. As soon as I closed the door, I was brought back to reality. I could hear some kind of crying coming from downstairs. As quickly as I could, I hurried downstairs to investigate. Pushing open the door to the kitchen, I saw Lillie crying on the floor and rushed over to her.

"Oh baby, what happened? Are you okay?" I asked, checking her for injuries. She had a bloody knee and I kissed it.

"I...fell...off...and...my...knee." Lillie gasped between sobs.

"It's okay baby, mummy's here." I picked her up and held her to my chest. Walking over to the sink, I grabbed a tissue and ran it under the water. Lillie had calmed down a bit and didn't fuss when I sat her on the island.

"Did you try to climb onto the island Lillie?" I asked, wiping her bleeding knee with the tissue.

"Yeah." She sniffled.

"And then did you fall off?" She nodded.

"Are you annoyed at me, mummy?" She asked.

"Of course not, sweetie." I reassured her. "Just try to be a bit more careful, and if you want to sit up there, call for me and I'll help you up, okay?"

She nodded and I wiped the tears off her face and threw the bloody tissue in the bin. I picked her back up and wandered over to a high cupboard and pulled out some plasters. Sitting her down on the counter, I stuck a plaster over her cut.

"Let's go find your brother and make sure he hasn't got into any trouble." I said, sitting Lillie on my hip. Tommy was in his room, playing with toys on the floor.

"Mummy, I can watch TV?"

"Yeah, of course." I took his hand and led him downstairs and into the living room. When we had arrived, I turned on the TV and switched it to Cartoon Network for him. I kissed Lillie on the cheek and placed her on the sofa next to her brother. Then I left the room to begin cleaning the house. I took a detour to change my top as there was some of Lillie's blood on it, but after that, I spent the next few hours tidying and dusting every room of the house.

Alex arrived home at about 5pm, after having an early kickoff. They'd won the match so he was obviously elated, and also excited to see Jordie again. He suggested that I should invite the girls round to see Jordie so I called them all, urging them to come over as quickly as possible because Alex was going to pick Jordie up at 6. Luckily, they'd all arrived by the time he'd left. We were all sat in the living room watching the last few minutes of a movie that'd been on TV. Tommy was sat on my lap and Lillie was with Jade on the other sofa.

"I'm so excited to meet him, Perrie!" Squealed Leigh-Anne.

"Does he know we're here?" Asked Jade.

"No, I think Alex is going to tell him I'm the car, but he won't mind, don't worry."

"He'll have four new aunties!" Said Jesy.

"Are you excited about your new brother Lillie?" Asked Jade.
