I stood outside the terminal where Niall, Sam, Ella and the rest of the boys were going to come through in just minutes. The plan had just stopped in front of me and as I peered through the window nervously I saw their Niall carrying Ella and Sam as they looked around the cockpit. Ella laughed and hid her face into Niall’s shoulder, who then rubbed her head laughing with her. Sam’s head had disappeared, he must have been crawling around somewhere. That was when Niall looked up and out the window both of us locking eyes for a brief moment. Quickly handing Ella to someone behind him, he disappeared out of sight.

I started sprinting happily down the corridor that lead into the plane. Ignoring the many attempts to stop me, the ‘Ma’am’ that would be called out to me. Nothing was going to stop me getting to Niall and his strong arms wrapping around me. I rounded the corner, and hit something sending me flying backwards. Rubbing the disorientation I stood up and looked for the cause of me falling. There on the other side of the corridor was a collapsed Niall.

His blonde hair slightly tossled and his blue eyes staring into my soul. My heart jumped, I stood quickly running into his embrace that he had left open as soon as he noticed it was me. He picked me up and spun me around as I kissed him eagerly. Putting me down lightly he kissed my forehead and grabbed my hands threading his fingers through mine, and smiled as he bent in for another quick kiss.

“I missed you.” He whispered into my ear.

“I missed you too.” I kissed his cheek. Laughing he ran his hand through his hair and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“I knew you would do it! I didn’t doubt it for a second.” He stared into my eyes.

“Funny… I did.” I laughed slightly.

“Awww, no way!” He smiled kissing my forehead.

“Mumma?” Two little voices squealed happily, I whipped my head around to see my to babies running towards me with their arms open. They hit me seconds apart from each other, the force causing me to fall on the floor laughing.

“I missed you two!” I kissed them on the cheek as tears started running down my own.

“We missed you too mumma!” They giggled pushing each other.                     

“Alright you two, let mummy and daddy have a little more alone time.” Niall was cracking up barely finding the breath to speak.

“Yeah kiddies, come with Uncle Lou. Uncle Lou is much cooler than those two love birds.” Louis familiar voice came from around the corner. Sam quickly ran up to Louis when he came into view, jumping into his extended arms. One arm wrapped around Sam’s waist and the other hand grabbed one of his ankles flipping him upside down. The grabbing Sam’s other ankle Louis lifted Sam’s stomach, so he could make weird noises on his stomach. Sam was in stiches, slapping Louis chest.

“Cle Lou! Why can’t I be with mumma and daddy?”

“Because…”

“Mumma! Can I have a lil sister?” Ella squealed jumping on my stomach.

Apparently Liam, Danielle, Zayn and Eleanor had arrived because their laughter filled the corridor that we had stopped in.

“Niall honey, I think we can all catch up and have coffee, then see Harry instead…” I half smiled.

All faces turned serious, nodding in agreement. Niall was already standing up and walking towards Ella who was now running back to the plane. I pulled Sam into my arms and started walking to the coffee shop on the other side of the airport. Sam played happily with my hair mumbling a few words that I couldn’t understand laughing every so often about some jokes he had made with himself.  I looked at him laughing at his innocence to what was happening around him, and how he could get so absorbed in the little things.

I had stopped out the front of the coffee shop looking at him. He was still playing happily when Niall touched me lightly on the shoulder asking me if I was okay, I nodded waving him off. When I returned my eyes to my son his eyes were pinned on me in confusion.

“Mumma, where is Aunty Alisa?” He stroked my hair. Tears were starting to form in my eyes, and Sam’s face showed that he knew I was said. He smiled at me, wrapping his little arms around my neck and whispered, “It’s ok mumma, I love you!”

“I love you too baby!”
