Forever & Always (Sequel to Frat Boy)

Chapter 2

{Okay so that's just a quick picture of what I am imagining Tessa to look like. What a cutie! Hope you all like this chapter, please vote and comment!}

Brooke's POV

"Mommy, can I please watch a little bit more tv? I'm not tired yet," Tessa asked as she walked into the family room in her frozen pajamas, one of her favorite movies.

"Okay, just a little while longer though, okay? You have school tomorrow. After all, its Sunday, " I replied as she nodded, jumping up on the couch next to Niall and I.

She was obviously very happy for the two of us to be home, the babies born just three days ago. It was funny how quickly our first day home with them went by, and now are second as well.

Lilah and Oliver were both already sound asleep in their own rooms, along with Ava and Jimmy who were sleeping in the cradles, though in no time at all we were both aware that they would wake up.

"You won't forget about me, right?" Tessa asked Niall and I, breaking the silence.

"Of course not baby girl. Why would you ever think that?"

Immediately, questions began to run through my mind. Did she think we have forgotten about her? Does she feel like we don't spend time with her? Did we do something wrong?

"Just wondering, cause now you have two more babies to watch, Ava and Jimmy. I like getting to spend time with you guys though. I don't want to be forgot about."

"Come here Tessa," I said while wrapping my arms around her, Niall doing the same, "Daddy and I love you very very very much. We won't ever forget about you, or Lilah, or Oliver, or Ava, or Jimmy. We love you all equally."

"Okay, I love you both too," she grinned, "Can we play a game for a little while?" she asked, changing the subject.

"What game do you have in mind?" Niall asked.

"Candy land!" she squealed, being that it is her all time favorite game.

"I heard candy, I'm in," he replied, the three of us moving from the couch to the floor.

I let out a little laugh at his response. Some things never change, in this situation, it has always been his love for food.

As Tessa began to set up the board, our two puppies, Charlie and Lucy, ran into the room.

"No Charlie. Watch out, I'm trying to set up a game," she scolded him, quite amusing if you ask me.

"Lucy, this goes for you too," I let out a little giggle as I watched her set up the board with the puppies next to her, obviously getting on her nerves.

Being the oldest, she liked to know that out of all the kids in the family, she was the most responsible and what not at the moment. Every chance she could, she liked to show us that she was a "big girl", and we let her since it made her happy. Though I had to admit, it was extremely adorable.

"Okay, so I'm going first and am going to be...red," she took a money to think before continuing on, "Then Mommy, you go after me and be blue. And lastly, Daddy you are going to be green, and take your turn after Mommy," she explains.

We nodded in reply as we each took our first few rolls, slowly moving out pieces up along the board.

"Oh no, Daddy is stuck on licorice. Guess I'm going to have to skip my next turn," Niall sighed as Tessa began to giggle.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"I won!" she shouted quietly, aware that all the other kids were sound asleep.

"What? I thought you were in the middle of the board just a few seconds ago. Did you cheat?" Niall gasped jokingly.

"What are you talking about?" she replied, pretending that she won fair and square.

"Well I guess now it's bed time," I said.

"Fine, I guess I am getting kind of tired," she rubbed her eyes, reaching out for Niall to lift her up and carry her to her bedroom.

Once the three of us reached her room at the top of the stairs, Niall placed her down in her bed, pulling the pink sheets over her since it was chilly outside. Right before the two of us began to walk out of her room, he began to speak up.

"Can you lay down with me for a couple minutes?"

"Course darling," Niall replied, jumping onto one side of the bed, me getting the other.

Tessa laid in the center with a huge grin on her face as she began to close her eyes, quickly falling into a deep sleep. Right as I began to close my eyes, I was awaken by the soft cries of Ava and Jimmy, that only began to grow louder and louder.

"I'll get them," I sighed, climbing out of bed.

"I'll come with," Niall replied.

"Night Mommy, night Daddy," Tessa said softly.

"Night dear," we said in sync, quietly walking out of her room.
