Everything I Need - A Niall Horan Story. Sequel to The Only One I Want

Chapter 7 - Christmas At The Beach

It's Christmas. Niall and I decided to take the kids up to our beach house for the holidays since Niall and I both had the entire month off of work

"Do you have everything packed babe?" I asked Niall

"Yup. Are you and the kids ready?" He asked

"Yup."

"Great. Let's go then." I grabbed our 9 month old Caleb and our two year old Elaine and walked out to the car with them. Niall buckled Caleb in while I buckled Elaine in. We got ourselves in the car and headed for the beach house. Caleb fell asleep after 5 minutes and it took Elaine thirty minutes to fall asleep. Niall switched on the radio and No Ordinary Girl was playing. Niall and I both smiled as the memories flooded in our heads.

"Hey, remember our first beach trip?" Niall asked

"Yea. I was 5 months pregnant with Elaine. That's when she first kicked." I responded

"Yup. Good days."

"Yup."

We pulled up to the beach house and Niall turned the car off. Both of our babies were still asleep. I carried Caleb's carrier in while Niall carried Elaine in. We placed them both in beds so they could rest. I made Niall and I a cup of coffee and sat with him in the couch. I placed my legs on Niall's lap and wrapped my arms around his neck and placed my head on his. Niall placed a kiss on my head.

"This is nice." Niall said

"Tell me about it. The kids are sleeping, we're at the beach, it's just us two." I said

"Mmmm. I love you Princess."

"I love you too."

"How about March?" Niall asked

"What do you mean?"

"How about we try for another baby in March? Caleb will be one and Elaine will be turning three. What do you say?"

"Hmm. You know, I don't know if I can wait that long."

"Haha, ok, how about January?"

"Too soon. February?"

"Perfect."

"Alright then." I said. "We'll try in February and again in March if it doesn't work."

"Sounds great baby. It also sounds like I married a planner."

"I just think it's funny how it took you three years to figure that out."

"Haha, no, I've always known. Since before you moved to London."

"Oh is that so?"

"Yea. You should really pay more attention to your husband."

"Oh shut up, I pay plenty of attention to you."

"Eh."

"Oh, you wanna play games huh? I'll play games. How's his for attention?" I changed our position so I was now straddling his waist and kissing him, hard.

"Daddy, why mummy eating you face?" We heard Elaine say. Moment ruined. Although that was pretty cute. And funny. Niall and I both laughed. I got off of him and returned to our previous position.

"February baby. Two months." Niall said

"Ugh." I responded, making Niall laugh. "Niall?"

"Yea baby?"

"How about we come here?"

"Uhm, we are here?"

"No." I laughed. "I mean when we try for another baby. How about we come here for a week or so?"

"Ahh. Sex on the beach. But what about Caleb and Elaine?"

"We can have Louis and Charolette watch them. They've taken them for 5 days before."

"True. Ok, then we should probably choose either March or February." He said

"Oh true. Let's do March. That way Charolette and Louis can still spend Valentine's Day together."

"March it is. How about we spend the entire week before Caleb's birthday up here?"

"Sounds perfect. I'll text Charolette right now."

Addy: can I ask a favor?

Charolette: depends. What's up?

Addy: can you take Caleb and Elaine for a week? The week before Caleb's birthday in March.

Charolette: let me ask Louis

Charolette: Louis wants to know why

Addy: because Niall and I are going up to the beach house then

Charolette: what for he asks

Addy: to try for another baby

Charolette: omg! No way! Congrats! Louis says yes! We'll take them for the week!

Addy: great! Thank you so much!

Charolette: sure thing! Oh, and Addy?

Addy: yea?

Charolette: I'm pregnant

Addy: omg! Congrats! How far along are you?

Charolette: three months. I'm due on your birthday haha

Addy: oh that's funny. Congrats! Are you sure you can take the kids for a week?

Charolette: Yes, it'll be good practice ;)

Addy: haha, ok. Congrats! That's great news!

Charolette: Thanks! And congrats on trying for another baby!

Addy: thanks!

"What'd she say?" Niall asked

"She said yes! And guess what."

"What?"

"She's three months pregnant! She's due on my birthday!"

"What?! That's great! Good for them!"

"I know!"

"We'll be next."

"Yup. We'll be next." I looked up and he kissed me. God, I love his kisses. They're so full of love and passion. They give me butterflies. And twice now those butterflies have turned into baby feet. And here we are, trying to make it happen again. Wish us luck!
