I sit on my bed with my 5 month old daughter Avie in my lap and my 5 year old son Aiden beside me. Niall had texted me about five minutes ago asking if we could skype him, and like always I reply back yes.
"When will we get to see daddy." Aiden asks taking his eyes off the laptop and looking at me.
I point to his name and look back at him. "When you see a green dot next to his name I'll let you hit the call button." He smiles and returns his gaze back to Niall's name, anxious to see his father.
"ITS THERE!" Aiden screeches once the dot appears. He hits the call button and laughs loudly when Niall appears on the screen. "DADDY!"
"AIDEN!" Niall yells back just as loud. "How you doing buddy?" He asks.
"I'm good! But mommy took my guitar away!" He says frowning.
"Now why would she do that?" He asks.
"If you spend all day, everyday, with a 5 year old that doesn't know how to play guitar you'd understand." I speak up. He grins at me before his eyes land on Avie.
"Hi baby!" He says. Avie gurgles and reaches her hand out to try and touch Niall, but frowns when she realizes she can't. "She's gotten so big." He says. He narrows his eyes points to the screen. Avie reaches her hand out and touches where Niall's hand is.
"What are you pointing at?" I ask. He laughs and lays backwards before quickly shooting back up.
"You and Aiden are wearing my t-shirts, and Avie is wearing a onesie with my face on it." I blush and look away.
"After all these years even the little things you say make me blush." I mumble.
"What time is it there." He asks. I look at my phone and then back at him.
"It's past their bedtime."
"Can I help you put them to bed?" He asks. I give him a confused look and he laughs.
"Just bring the laptop with you." He says. I smile and place Avie on my right hip and hold the laptop with my left hand.
"Daddy and I are going to put you to bed, come on Aiden." He runs past me and into his room.
I put the laptop on Aidens bedside table so he can talk to Niall while I lay Avie down in her crib. "Goodnight baby girl." I whisper and place a kiss to her forehead before turning off her lamp.
"I love you daddy." Aiden says as I approach him.
"I love you to buddy. I'll be home soon; okay?"
"Okay. Goodnight daddy." He says as I pull the covers over him. He yawns and faces away from me. "Goodnight I love you mommy." He says.
I smile and kiss his forehead. "I love you to." I grab the laptop and turn off his lamp. I walk out of the room and into Niall's and I's.
"I miss you." He says once I lay down.
I smile. "I miss you to, but just remember only 2 more weeks and then you'll get to hear how loud our daughter is and how well our son plays guitar."
He chuckles. "I can't wait; but love I have to go, the boys need me."
I nod slowly. "I'll see you soon."
"I love you y/n!"
"I love you to."
"Bye." He says smiling slightly.
"Bye."
