"Wake up wake up wake up wake up! We're going to the beach we're going to the beach!" Emily shouts in my face and I groan rolling over.

"Okay okay, I'm up. Emmy, wake up Niall why don't you," I tell her as I rub my eyes.

"Ni-Ni Ni-Ni Ni-Ni Ni-Ni! Wake up! We're going to the beach!" Emily yells in Niall's face and I smile when I hear him groan out her name.

"What time is it, baby?"

"Uhh," she says dragging on. "Six-hundred thirty."

"Six-thirty, sweetheart, six-thirty," Niall says softly before standing out of bed and entering the bathroom closing the door behind him. Emily crawls into the bed and scoots over and into my chest.

"Good morning," I tell her.

"Good morning. Are you excited for the beach? I'm excited for the beach." I smile with a nod.

"I am. Are we going to pick up shells and clams?"

"Mhm, and crabs too," she tells me. "Like from Sponge-Bob."

I chuckle and fluff her hair before we both slide out of bed. I help her get dressed and pack a bag for the beach then do so for myself and Niall as he gets dressed.

"Breakfast!" Louis yells from the kitchen. We all meet up at the table and take our seats before digging in. Once we're all about finished Gemma excuses herself to the bathroom.

"Niall you're on dishes, since Harry and I made it," Louis says before smirking at him.

"I can help!" Emily says happily as Niall sits her on the counter and she dries as he washes. I lay out something for Emily, Niall and I to wear then crash into Harry making my way down the stairs.

"Excuse me," he says hastily before pushing past me. I furrow my brow and turn watching him make his way into his room before closing the door harshly.

"Hey, do you know what's up with Harry?" I ask Niall as I step into the kitchen. I watch as his body language changes from relaxed to tense in seconds.

"Nope," he replies popping the 'p'. "Don't know nothing."

"Liar." He tenses again before sighing and turning around.

"Emily, sweetheart, go get dressed. I laid your clothes out."

"Okay. No yelling please." I nod and run my hand over her head as she exits the kitchen.

"I'm not supposed to say anything, I'm not even supposed to know."

"Don't do that, don't you dare keep things from me, not after everything we've been through and everything we've talked about last night."

"Vi, listen," he says softly coming towards me and placing his hands on my upper arms. I tense and he frowns before I sigh. "Gemma went for a scan a few weeks ago, it isn't good." I nod which urges him to go on.

"I was home alone one day and Harry and ahem came home, Harry was a wreck, and he broke down and told me, it isn't good."

"Well how bad? What's the prognosis?" He sighs before tightening his grip slightly.

"A year."

"Wh-what? How? Since when? What about her treatments?" He shakes his head.

"They aren't working. She said she's done with them, they only make her feel weaker and she wants to, as I recall it, 'go out with a bang'." I sigh as tears fill my eyes. I step backwards before making my way to our room to get dressed.

"Come on, Louis, let's go swimming!" Emily shouts as soon as our feet hit the sand. Louis and Emily run off towards the water as Niall and Harry follow behind them. Gemma and I set up camp in the sand before laying down our towels and get comfortable on top of them.

"Gemma?"

"Yeah?"

"Why didn't you tell me?" She sighs before turning her head to look at me.

"I was going to, I swear it, once we got back home. I wanted this to be a good trip. One where we could all have fun and let loose, especially Harry. Instead he's been worrying about work and watching me like a hawk." I nod before giving her a soft smile.

"I love you." She smiles back before winking and blowing me a kiss. I laugh before we both relax on our backs to bathe in the sun. Once my timer goes off Gemma and I roll over on to our stomachs and soon enough my timer goes off informing me it's lunchtime.

Gemma opens up the picnic basket and gets everyone's food out as I gather up Emily and all the lads.

"Lunch!" Gemma shouts as we all make our way to our towels and sit for some grub. After lunch we all make our way into the water. Niall Louis and Harry form a triangle and toss Emily to each other as she scream and laughs in joy.

"We should head in soon before we get too burnt, I think this sunscreen is about warn off." Everyone nods and agrees so we leave the warm water and pack everything up.

"I call first dibs for down stairs shower!" Louis shouts running towards the condo building. Harry and Gemma chase after him as Emily walks between Niall and I holding each of our hands.

"Vi-Vi?"

"Yeah, Em?"

"Can I have a baby sister? Or a baby brother? Oh! Can I have a puppy?" Emily asks and I blush looking at Niall as he winks at me.

"Maybe a puppy first, Em."

"Oh come on, Vi, what about a baby sister or baby brother for Emily?"

"Actually, that's something I want to talk to you about once we get back," I say softly to Niall. He stops dead in his tracks and stares at me.

"You mean, you want to have a baby?"

"Yes! I want a baby!" Emily says jumping up and down.

"No, baby, not yet. Not yet," I say looking up at Niall and reach out for his hand. Once we get back to the condo everyone takes turns getting their showers and Niall and I decide to save water and shower together.

"What did you mean earlier when you said you wanted to talk about having a baby?" Niall says grabbing some soap and running his hands over my shoulders and down my arms before kissing the back of my neck.

"I've always wanted a baby, Gemma's always wanted to have a baby, Emily loves babies, and Gemma can't have babies, but I can."

"Wait," he says and turns me around. "You're saying you're wanting to have a baby because Gemma can't and she's always wanted one?"

"I mean, yeah basically. I mean, I want to have a baby, and it would give Gemma a chance at motherhood, Emily will have a little sibling, and we'll have a baby."

"Violet, honey, are you sure? You'd do this for Gemma, and us?"

"Yes, I would. You know how much I love babies and how much I've always wanted one, and I basically raised Emily since she was a baby."

"Soo," Niall says dragging his hands down my chest and over my lower abdomen. "Baby making station open for business?"

"Yes, baby making station open for business."




Violet is so selfless omg. Anyway, the point of this is to give Gemma a chance at mother hood that she other wise wouldn't have been able to have. Plus I love babies.
