"Please James, just wait a little bit mommy is going to see who is calling."
You said to your 4-year-old son as you ran to the kitchen to pick up your phone.
"Hi Y/N! It's mom. How are you? How are my little grandchildren?"
"Hi mom! We are doing okay. I'm just really tired. James is missing Niall and Brianna woke up like every half an hour last night. Now she is sleeping and James just wants me to hold him all the time but I have so many things to do. I have to clean up the kitchen, and everything but it's impossible." You sighed.
Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom. I'm so greatful to be mom to the most perfect children but sometimes it's just really hard because my husband, Niall, is on worldtour and I'm alone taking care of everthing at home.
"Honey, Niall is coming home in a week, isn't he? How long he'll be at home when he comes?" Mom asked.
"I think 3 weeks." I said.
"Okay, I have a week off right now so I'll come to help you. Your dad just left this morning to Sweden for two days. He had a work trip so I'm all alone here."
"No mom, you don't really have to come I can handle this. Sorry for complaining. Just enjoy some alone time."
"Of course I'm coming. It's really boring to be alone at home. I love spend time with my little grandbabies."
"Mom, they are not babies anymore. James is alrealy 4 and Brianna is 2." You laughed.
"Okay, okay but anyway I'm coming tonight since it's only 11am."
"Okay see you in a few hours."
"See you, love you, byyyee!"your mom said as you hung up.
"Jamess guess who is coming to visit us today?"
"Is it Dadddyyyy?" James screamed.
"Nopee, granny is coming, are you excited? You can go to the park with grandma and little sis Brianna if you want." You said smiling.
"NOOOOO, I WANT DADDYYY! I DONT WANT GRANNNY" James cried.
"Shhhh baby, look daddy is coming home in a week. You just have to sleep a few nights more then daddy will be home, isn't that nice?" You said as you heard crying from Brinna's room.
"Let's go, I think Brianna is awake."
You said, taking James and in yours.

Later...
My mom just came like 3 hours ago and she helped me to put kids to bed. She is just reading a good night story to James and I'm making some tea for us.
I heard footsteps and saw my mom walking in to kitchen.
"Thanks mom. Usually it takes at least two hours to get them to the bed and sleep. And after all they are usually sleeping in our bed. But anyway I made some tea."
"Oh, thank you, that's nice. Is somethings bothering you? You seem a little bit down. You can tell me everything sweetie." Mom said frowning.
"Yeah, I would like to talk you about something..." I said looking down to my hands on my lap. "It's about me and Niall. I don't know what's going on between us... We used to talk on Skype every night after I put kids to the bed but lately when we call we end up arguing. And it's over stupid little things. I don't know if he wants me anymore or what's going on. When he's having time off we don't really have alone time like without kids. In the evening when kids are in bed we are both exhausted of playing and doing things with the kids plus the kids are sleeping between us so we just fall asleep right away. It's like we don't have that sparking between us that we used to have." Tears started to run down on my cheeks.
