A story of two singers who fall in love when it's least expected. They maintain a strong relationship, ignoring what both management and their fans have to say about it.
Today Elaine turns one. She's done everything early so far. She started walking at eight months. She started talking at ten months. Hell, laughed for the first time at 2 weeks. Is that even possible? I don't know, but it happened. She's such a quick learner. It's amazing. She hasn't learned too many new words, but she'll pick a new one up here and there. Her favorite word to say right now is no. She's got my sassiness. Yesterday Niall told her it was time for bed and she just sat on the floor and held her finger out at Niall and said "No daddy. No bed." It cracked us up. It was the cutest thing ever. I'm two months pregnant now, so I have a small baby bump. Elaine has noticed it a couple times and asked me why it's there. Here she comes now.
"Mummy."
"Hi birthday girl!"
"Mummy why bump?"
"Because there's a baby in my tummy, remember?"
"Oh. Baby. Mummy's tummy?"
"Yea, that's right."
"Why mummy?"
"So that you can have a little baby brother or sister."
"Oh." She squirmed out of my grip and ran to find Niall.
"Wow. She's got a pretty big vocabulary for a one year old." Niall said as he walked in carrying Elaine.
"Yea I know." I said to him.
"Mummy."
"Hi baby. Did you find daddy?"
"Daddy no food."
"Looks like she learned a new word." Niall said
"DADDY NO FOOD!" She yelled again
"What baby girl?"
"She's upset because I didn't let her have an ice cream cone." Niall said
"Oh. Baby we'll get ice cream after lunch ok?"
"Yay!" Elaine yelled. She squirmed out of Niall's arms and ran off to play.
"How ya feeling?" Niall asked me
"Pretty good. One more month until this morning sickness is over."
"Good. That's good. Hey, I've been thinking."
"About?"
"Remember a couple months ago when you brought up camping?"
"Yea. We never did talk about that, did we?"
"No. We got busy with the wedding and the new baby and Elaine and all."
"Yea. So anyway, what about it?"
"I think we should. It would be nice to get away for a bit. I'd like to go camping together AT LEAST twice before the baby is born."
"Yea, understandable. Well let's plan something then. How about we do something this or next month and then we can go again in a couple months, like when I'm 5 or 6 months. I'm not going camping after that, there's no way in hell." I said, making Niall laugh.
"I say we do something next month and we can go again in December, right before Christmas."
"Ok. Sounds good to me."
"Ok. Oh, also, there's one more thing." Niall said
"Ok? What is it?"
"Do you wanna wait until the baby is born to know the gender or do you wanna find out before?"
"Before. Definitely before. It gives us more time to prep and pick a name and all."
"True. Ok."
"Elaine! Lunch!" I yelled from the kitchen. After lunch we went to get ice cream. All our friends came over for Elaine's party. I can't believe she's a year old today. Where did all the time go?
