Riley's PoV One Year Later

*************************

"Hey sweetie! I haven't seen you in so long." My dad says over the phone. I smile looking down at the beautiful diamond ring on my finger. "Yeah well, you and mum filed for divorce. I wish I could've lived with you and Harry." I reply. "I know darling. Your mum wanted you in her life. She tried to send you back to us but when she passed, Dave held you and Layla captive in that house." He replies. Tears brim my eyes as Louis walks in our room. He sits next to me and rubs my back. "Well, I gotta go dad. Zac and Bailey need to eat dinner. Bye." I tell him before quickly hanging up. "You know it's nine and the kids are already asleep in bed right?" Louis asks. "I couldn't take talking about that god damn house Louis. Can we just go to bed please?" I ask. He nods.

My eyes shoot open. I look over at the alarm clock and it reads '3:56'. I run to the bathroom and lift the lid on the toilet. Louis kneels behind me and rubs my back. "Are you pregnant?" He asks barely audible. "I was waiting for a good time to tell you." I cry. He wraps his muscular and tattooed arms around me and pulls me close to his chest. "Are you mad?" I cry a little harder. "Why would I be mad? I'm the one who forgot to put the condom on." He replies. I laugh very quietly. "I'm sorry Louis. I should've told you sooner." I apologize. "How far along are you?" He asks. "About a week. You never wanted three kids at twenty four did you?" I ask. "Well, I didn't plan on it but, I'm just glad they're our kids and not you know who's." He replies, his grip getting tighter.

We walk downstairs and sit on the couch. The house is very quiet considering everyone is still asleep. "What are we gonna do?" I sob, my head laying on Louis' lap. He wipes my tears with his thumb. "Well one thing (haha One Thing) I do know is that we need to buy our own house." He replies. "But, Harry and I wont be able to do our daily brother and sister bickering." I whine. Louis kisses my forhead and says, "I know love. But our children need a place to have their own rooms, to have their fifth birthdays, to go through those awkward teenage years. We need a place to call our own. So we can watch our children grow up and leave. We have to cherish these years. They could be gone at any moment." He replies. "Yeah. Tell me about it. She said she was just going to the store. She never came back. Now she's six feet under with wilted Roses in her hands." I sob. He kisses my salty, tear stained, lips with his soft lips. "I'm sorry Riley. Let's call a real estate agent so she can show us houses." Louis says and helps me up. "Can I just sleep for a while? I'm *yawn* tired." I ask falling asleep.

"Riley. Louis said you needed to tell me something important." Harry whispers, waking me up. I sit up on the couch and rub my tired eyes. "Oh...um...yeah. Sit down." I say patting the spot next to me. Harry sits down and turns his attention towards me. "Harry.....I'm pregnant." I cry after a while. He wraps his arms around me and kisses my forhead. "Dont cry Riley. I understand you and Louis will have to move out. I just want you to be happy." Harry replies. I wipe my tears.

"Thank you so much!" I thank our real estate agent for showing us such wonderful houses. "No problem. Which house would you both love to have?" She asks, pointing to two of our choices. Louis and I both point to the two story, dark gray modern house with a big white porch and big open windows. It has seven bedrooms and three bathrooms. "Very good choice. I just need your signature and $10,000." She says and we sign the paper. I take out my wallet but Louis just shoves it away and gives the lady her money. "I could've helped pay." I whisper in his ear. "I know but, I didn't want you to." He argues. I shake my head and focus on the keys to our new mansion as we walk to Louis' car.

We get home and start packing. I stuff shirts and pants of the kids' into boxes and bags as Louis packs our clothes. Harry, Liam, and Niall (Zayn is with Perry. AGAIN!) are dismembering the kids' beds and play sets. "Hey Riley! Look what I found." Louis yells and runs in Zac and Bailey's room. I walk over to him and he holds up a picture of the four of us when the twins were born. I was sweating and crying while Louis was sitting next to me in the hospital bed with the babies in his arms. "It doesn't seem like it was that long ago. Can you beleive they're almost two?" I ask Louis. "I know. It feels like just yesterday you told me we were having twins over the phone." He replies. I nod. "Where does the time go? I'm 24 and you're almost 25." I realize. "Ugh. We're getting old. Good thing is, is when the band decides to break up I've saved up the money I've earned. You don't have to worry with financial matters because, I'll have it all covered for the rest of our lives." He assures. I hug him and send him on his way.

It's time to leave. Louis and I are in the driveway saying our goodbyes. "I'm glad you decided to move in with us. I'm glad you came to that concert. I'm really going to miss you." Harry says to me. Tears are rolling down my cheeks and a runny nose. I wipe my nose and continue crying. "Harry, I don't wanna leave you guys. You're all like my brothers exept, you are my brother. I have to leave though. Our family is growing. This is the Direction family. If I ever need you, can I come over?" I ask, whipping my tears but new ones start forming. Harry lifts his right hand to my face. I hold onto his hand with my left. That's where Dave hurt me. That's what Harry first saw when he met me. "You don't ever hesitate if you need me. You have a key, and you know I'll always be able to talk. I love you. Now go. Your new life awaits you." Harry promises. I nod, kiss his cheek, and get into the car.
