Already There

Chapter 4

"Ok, so here is her bag. I have her coloring book and crayons in here. She also has a few games and movies too."

"Rose." Louis said, interupting Rose.

"I put my phone number, Dani's and Syd's number in the pocket on the front in case you need me or if something goes wrong. She has extra clothes in there also."

"Rose!" Louis yelled.

 "Yeah?" She asked, finally looking up at Louis.

"We watched her yesterday. And unless you or Dani changed your number in the past twenty-four hours, we don't need your number. We'll be fine! Stop worrying about Sienna and focus on your audition!" Louis said, taking Sienna's hello kitty bookbag from Rose and putting it in the closet next to the front door. 

"I know you did and I put it in there in case you guys lost it or something." Rose mumbled, leaning down to Sienna and giving her a kiss on the head.

"I put your number in my phone yesterday. So no, I didn't loose it."

"What about Dani's? What if you can't get a hold of me?" 

"We've known Dani since 2010, I have her number." 

"Oh, right." Rose said, completely forgetting about that. 

"Which by the way, how come me and the lads only just met you if you've been best friends with Dani since the X-Factor?" Louis asked, suddenly realizing that he's only heard of Rose, he's never actually met her before yesterday.

"Uhm, I actually met Liam, Niall, Harry and Zayn a couple of times before. I just haven't met you." Rose replied, fiddling with her fingers. Looking anywhere but at Louis.

"What? When did you meet them? And why wasn't I there?" Louis questioned.

"Hey! Sienna is here guys!" Niall shouted coming from the kitchen with a can of Pringles in one hand and a Pepsi in the other. Rose gave a sigh of relief. 

"Uncle Ni!" Sienna yelled, running towards Niall and throwing her little arms around the Irish man's legs. Niall chuckled and put the Pepsi in the hand with the Pringles and picked her up into his arms. 

"For being four years old, you sure are tiny!" Niall laughed.

"Hey! It's only November! She won't be four until December! Don't rush it Niall!" Rose laughed.

"When is your birthday Sienna?" Niall asked the giggling toddler in his arms.

"Christmas Eve! I get double the presents!" Sienna exclaimed excitedly.

"Hey! That's when my birthday is!" Louis said, smiling at Sienna who was beaming about getting double presents.

"That's so cool!" She replied hopping down from Niall's arms and running over to Louis.

Louis picked her up by her tiny waist and tossed her a bit in the air. Sienna giggled and wrapped her arms around Louis' neck and placed her head on his shoulder closing her eyes.

"You never answered my question Rose." Louis said pointedly to Rose.

"Right, well, I got to go or I'm going to be late."

"Bye mommy! Good luck!" Sienna said from Louis' shoulder.

Rose went up to where Louis was holding Sienna and got on her tip toes to give Sienna a kiss on her cheek. As she did this, she could feel Louis stiffen until she backed away.

"Love you baby girl, I'll see you in a bit! And don't forget, We're going shopping with Aunt Dani, Syd and Jazzy!" Rose yelled back, walking out the front door.
