Birthday Wishes 2

Chapter 5

**LEAH'S POV**

I woke up to one of the twins crying. I gently removed Niall's arm from around my waist and got out of bed.

I picked up Zoey from the crib and held her in my arms rocking back and fourth to try and sooth her back to sleep. After about 15 minutes of rocking her she finally goes back to sleep.

It's 6:30am and I can't be bothered to go back to sleep so I decide to go downstairs to have an early breakfast. I poured my cereal into the bowl and then went into the living room to watch some TV.

I flick through the music channels until I get to capital tv.

---

I wake up to Niall playing his guitar and humming a familiar tune.

"Morning princess" he saying giving me a kiss on the forehead.

I sit upright and grab my neck. The couch is really not a comfortable place to sleep.

"Morning." I reply giving him a half hearted smile.

"Luke has phone your mobile like a million times but I didn't answer it, I wasn't sure if he knew you were here or not."

Luke.

"I think he might by now with them outside." I said gesturing to the dozen or so men standing outside holding cameras.

My phone rings again breaking the silence and I look at the Caller ID, Luke. I decided to answer it and Niall walks out of the room.

"Hello?" I say putting the phone to my ear.

"Leah you answered! Em I want to talk to you, but not over the phone" he rushed.

"Do you want me to come over then?" I ask, worried about what will really happen.

"Em yeah.. in half an hour?" he asks

"I'll need an hour or so, I'm still in my pyjamas."

We say our goodbyes and I hang up the phone.

I walk upstairs to see Niall sitting in front of the crib for the twins playing with Troye's hand.

I walk into the bathroom and switch on the shower. Once I'm out I walk to the room and take our a pair of denim shorts and a t-shirt. After I'm dressed and have dried my hair I tell Niall where I'm going and put my shoes on picking up my car keys in the process.

"I won't be long." I shout as I walk out of the car.

----

I walk out of the car locking it behind me and knock on the door. I stand back and rock on my heels a few times waiting for him to answer the door.

"Leah, C-Come in." he says stepping out of the way. I walk in and sit on the couch in the living room shortly accompanied by Luke.

"They're making me out to be a monster." He murmurs.

"Who's they?" I ask sitting around so I was facing him.

"The papers, the news reporters, everyone. Some are saying that I done things to that girl that I would never EVER even think about doing, some are saying that I've hit ou-your kids and you know fine I wouldn't do that. A-And there's even been one saying that I hit you and I've never hit you Leah I wouldn't do that! I love you!" He takes in a sharp breath and looks at me with glossy eyes.

"Luke, I know you wouldn't do any of that, I'm not here to see what they have made up. What did you really want to talk about?"

"Come back, please. I know what I done was wrong and stupid and pathetic-" He was cut off by a camera flash and a TV camera being pressed against the living room window.

"I've had enough of this!" I say standing up and walking towards the front door. I open it and stand outside. The whole garden is covered with TV presenters and paparazzi.

"Leah! Why do you still have contact with Luke after he hit you and your kids." A woman says shoving a microphone in my face.

"He didn't hit anyone!" I speak into the microphone.

"People like you take a small thing like why Luke done and change it to make him seem like a monster. Luke is the sweetest, kindest person I have ever met. We have been friends for years and I know fine that he's not capable of hurting anyone! Luke knows what he done was wrong he doesn't need you guys in his garden constantly and making up bullshit like this because you know nothing about him. You're payed to have a good story and if you don't have one you make one up. You don't understand who you hurt or how much you hurt them when you make shit up. You could of ruined Luke's career. So you should be god damn relieved that you never!" I shove the microphone back into her hand and turn around to see Luke standing in the doorway gobsmacked.

I take him away from the doorway and close the door behind us.

"Well you certainly put her in her place." Luke speaks coming back to reality.

"Like I was saying before." he starts "you don't understand how sorry I am I know I was stupid to follow the girl out, I don't know what came over me Leah please forgive me. I know you won't want to get back together now I guess cause you're with Niall now."

"I'm not with Niall, what makes you think that. Yes I'm staying at his house but we're not back together."

Luke doesn't say anything he just throws a newspaper at me.

Was the title of the article.

"Jesus fucking Christ." I spit "Luke we're not back together I promise you that. I do love Niall, He's the father of my children and I admit he will always have a special place in my heart. But it's you I want now. Only you. I want to be Leah Hemmings. I want to one day have kids with you-" He leans down and crashes his lips onto mine

I love my ex Niall and we're back together.
