Breaking Point (Sequel)

Chapter 9

Sara's POV

It's been a little over a week since the twins and I were released and able to go home from the hospital. Liam was sent home a few days before I was. Unfortunately him and Samantha haven't talked since. Taylor stayed with us for a while until he had to catch his flight back home. He's moving out of my parents house and is planning to take some university classes which I think is great.

As for Harry and I, we haven't gotten much sleep lately with the twins being awake most of the night. I'm starting to notice Aiden is sleeping a lot more than Addison which is good. We're staring to develop a routine with Anne's help. I'm so grateful to have had her here. She has helped us out so much and honestly, I'm scared about her leaving tomorrow morning. This is the only amount of time robin could get off from work so they'll be flying home tomorrow morning.

Besides the whole sleep deprivation part, being a mother is absolutely incredible. Addison gives me the occasional smile, but then again, it could just been from gas. I read that babies start to truly smile at around the age of two months. We still have a whole to go as the twins are only 12 days old.

Harry and I just got upstairs after finishing our nightly chores that consist of washing bottles, refilling bottles, doing a load of laundry, taking out the garbage that contains mostly diapers, and many other kings that come along with being a parent. Normally it wouldn't be as bad but we have to do everything times two.

I swapped my jeans and shirt for a comfortable pair of pyjamas. We put the twins to bed about an hour ago and they haven't woken up yet. Knowing their schedule, that won't last long. It's hard for all of us to stay quiet because there's so many of us in this house and we haven't gotten used to sharing a house with two babies yet. I really want to talk to Harry tomorrow about us getting our own flat even though I know we are really young. I just feel like it isn't fair to everyone else in the house who has to deal with two babies. They shouldn't have to listen to them cry all night and have to work everything around the twins schedule.

I slipped into the bed and buried my body under the blankets. I found Harry and laid my head on his chest.

"I'm physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted." I complained. A small laugh came out of his mouth.

"So am I babe. But I must say, it's all worth it in the end." He replied.

"Your right." Was the last thing I said before I closed my eyes and tries to fall asleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night to a screaming baby. I looked over to read 3:39 on the clock. I groaned and rolled over to try and get Harry up.

"Harry, one of the babies is up. Harry, wake up." He stifled a groan but didn't move. "Harry please. I got up last time." I pleaded. Still no answer.

"Your seriously going to make me get up again?" I growled. I could hear him scoff and finally the blankets started to move and he got up. I was relieved I didn't have to get up. I was already up once tonight about an hour ago and didn't want to do it again.

"Well if your going to nag and complain the whole night, I'd rather listen to the crying babies!" He spat. With that said, he walked out of the room, leaving me speechless. I surely didn't expect Harry to react like that. I can tell we are both tired and exhausted but that doesn't mean we can yell at each other whenever we feel like it.

I listened for the babies crying, whichever one it was, to stop and it did. Minutes passed and Harry hadn't returned. I couldn't fall asleep until I know Harry is in the room so removed the warm blanket and stood up. I silently walked over to the twins room and slowly pushed the door open. To my surprise, I saw Harry holding Aiden in the chair, rocking him back to sleep. I also noticed the fact that Harry is sleeping too. I couldn't help but smile at this special sight.

I walked over to Harry and gently placed my hand under Aiden's back and lifted him up. I walked over to his bassinet and placed him down on his stomach, kissing his head before turning back around. Harry's eye's shot wide open and he looked startled. His eyes scanned the room and stopped when they landed on me.

I walked over to him and sat sideways on his lap. I hung my arm around his shoulder and placed my forehead on his. I feel like we need moments like this. Silent moments that calm us down. We both sat there in the rocking chair in the nursery together. I closed my eyes and tried to enjoy the moment as much as I can.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have blown up like that. You didn't deserve it." He apologized.

"There's no need to apologize, we're both tired, I understand that." I told him. He shook his head and I could tell he was looking at me even though it was almost completely dark.

"No I need to. I can't keep acting like this and think its okay. We're both trying and I need to acknowledge that." He stated. I hadn't expected the night to go this way but I must say, I'm quite enjoying it. I leaned down and found his lips, connecting them with mine. I can smell the natural scent of his body, sending chills through me.

Samantha's POV

I was woken up for the third time this morning by a crying baby. I know I can't be mad because I know how hard Harry and Sara are trying to cope with being new parents. I decided to get up and stay up when Robin, Anne, and Gemma left to go to the airport. I offered to give them a ride because they were going to take a taxi so they didn't have to wake up Harry to drive them. Currently its 8:14 in the morning. I'm not used to being up this early but my whole sleep schedule has been off lately. I walk into the kitchen to fix up something to eat and make my way to the living room.

A few more hours have passed and there's still no sign of human life in the house. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get myself to fall back asleep. I decided to go upstairs and see if Niall's awake yet. As I passed the twins room, I quickly and silently opened the door to catch a quick glance of them. They looked so peaceful and innocent when they sleep. I just want to pick them up and hold them but I know Harry and Sara would kill me if woke them up. I slowly walked back to the door as quiet as I could but obviously that wast quiet enough. I heard rusting in one of the twins' bed followed by soft cries.

I quickly walked over to the Addison who had started to cry and picked her up, rocking her back in forth in my arms. I tried to get her to stop crying so she wouldn't wake Aiden up as well. I found her pacifier in her bed and put it in her mouth. I had to repeat putting it back in her moth because it would constantly fall out. A few minutes later, I had gotten her back to sleep so I placed her back in her bassinet, in the crib. I proceeded to check on Aiden and found him still sound asleep. When I was getting ready to leave the nursery, the door opened and an extremely tired looking Harry stood in the doorway.

"Was one of the twins just crying?" He asked, rubbing his eyes. I nodded.

"Yeah, Addison was but I put her back to sleep." I whispered. He nodded his head and slowly closed his eyes but quickly opened them. He ran a hand through his hair, smoothing it out.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome, it was not big deal. Now you should go back to sleep. If one of the twins starts crying, I'll get them so don't worry." I reassured him. I didn't really want to do it but I felt like it was the right thing to do for both Harry and Sara. We walked out of the room and I silently closed the door behind me. He walked back to his room and I proceeded to make my way to Niall's. I found him laying down on his bed with his phone in his hand. I walked over to him and sat down next to him.

"What are you up to?" I asked.

"Robbie just texted me." He replied simply. Robbie is the guys manager. He lets them know about their future events they need to know about.

"Oh yeah, what did he say?"

"He's letting us know we have an interview next week." I almost forgot they have jobs they still have to do. Everything had been so crazy lately I guess I forgot my boyfriend is a world class celebrity. As much we I wish I wasn't involved with the public part of being in relation to a celebrity, I wouldn't change any of it. The business has it's ups and downs but it all seems to work out in the end. I have an amazing boyfriend, great friends and a relationship with my brother I never thought I'd have in a million years.

Liam and I have had our moments but he knows I will always love him and I know he will always love me no matter what. We need each other and that will never change. Family is like a song, some high notes, some low notes, but always a beautiful song. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
