I heard a knock at the door and I went to it rather quickly. There stood the boys.

"What's going on?" I asked while smiling as I let them in.

"Nothing much mate, how are you?" Harry asked.

"Good, good. Where's all your stuff? And where's Zayn?" Calum asked.

As that came out of his mouth Zayn came in, carrying all the luggage.

"There," Niall spoke as we laughed.

We put their luggage in rooms. I'm going to be sleeping in Emma's room with her until we leave for New York Saturday. Harry and Liam are in my room and in Ashton's room is Niall and Louis. Zayn has Calum's bed, which makes Calum on the couch.

"In a little while after Emma wakes up we'll go eat," Michael spoke as we all agreed.

I went upstairs to check on her. I cracked her door open and she was moving around and it sounded like she was crying. I go inside and shut the door behind me. I walk over and pick her up.

"Emma," I whispered rubbing her back.

"Emma, sweetheart wake up," I told her as she was shaking.

She opened her eyes and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Another nightmare?" I asked her as she nodded.

"Awe, I'm sorry love," I whispered to her as I sat down on her bed.

"Are you still tired?" I asked as she nodded. She was only asleep for half an hour.

"Then let's go sleep in daddy's bed, yeah?" I asked as she shook her head once more.

"I don't want to go to sleep," she spoke as I nodded and took her downstairs.

"Look who's up early," Ashton smiled.

I set Emma down and she walked to Harry, who picked her up.

"Another nightmare," I spoke as she laid on his chest.

"Another?" Louis asked.

"My idiot brother told her scary stories and they're giving her nightmares," I spoke.

"Jack?" Michael asked.

I nodded and he laughed to himself.

"Y'all ready?" Ashton asked walking in.

"Yeah, I'll meet y'all out there. Let me change her" I spoke as I picked her up and took her upstairs to her room.

"Daddy?" she whispered.

What's up angel?" I asked turning from her closet.

"I wear a hoodie like you?" she asked as I smiled and nodded.

I grabbed her jeans, her gray VANS, and a baby blue hoodie from her closet. I quickly dressed her and we rushed out to my car. Everyone was already gone, but we're going to Nando's.

Once we arrived I grabbed Emma and we went inside. She sat in between Ashton and I. We are and just decided to go back to the house and that we'll watch a movie.

When I pulled into the driveway I looked in the back and saw Emma asleep. I smiled as I got out of the car and got her from her car seat. I carried her in and they were making forts.

I changed Emma into sweatpants and laid her down so she could sleep. It's not that early. It's like 9, so. I went downstairs and we watched comedy movies.

When we decided to go to bed I went into Emma's room and she wasn't having a nightmare. Maybe she won't have one the rest the night.

Well, I was wrong. Emma had another nightmare. She's now sleeping and we're leaving for rehearsal. Maybe she'll be good and not have a nightmare when she naps. But who knows.

I woke up and Liam was awake and jumping on the bed.

"You're a child," I mumbled as I got up and went across the hall to Emma's room.

She was actually waking up so I picked her up and we went downstairs. I sat her on my lap as Niall turned on SpongeBob. Her eyes lit up and she watched in awe, which is rather cute for a 3 year old.

Liam made breakfast and lunch and it's now time for her nap. I laid her sleeping body down and shut the door. I returned downstairs and we played Calum's Xbox.

After about half an hour I heard Emma screaming. Zayn and I ran up the stairs and into her room, where she sat crying.

"Don't cry my love," Zayn spoke as she went and picked her up.

She laid her head on his shoulder as we returned downstairs. That scary story is getting to her. Maybe they'll fade away soon.
