[Tell me, do you,
do you still remember feeling young?]
"Guys, dinner!" Dennise called after we finished setting the table and Maura was bringing in the food. While the boys settled themselves at the table, I went to get Via from her rocker to feed her and put her down to nap.
"Alright, c'mere, baby." I picked her up after unbuckling her, holding her close to me. I grabbed the last full bottle from her diaper bag that we had from the trip and uncapped it.
"Oh, love, let me feed her." Maura says from behind me.
I turn to her, "Are you sure? I can feed her so that you can eat." I said quickly. Maura shook her head, waving her hand.
"Nonsense! I'll feed her and put her down. I'm not very hungry right now anyway." She said, coming to Via and I. I passed Via to Maura along with the bottle.
"Uh, here's the burping rag, it's rare for her to spit up, but just in case, it's there." I informed Maura, pointing to the polka dot patterned rag sitting on top of the diaper bag.
"No worries, love. Go eat." She chuckled.
I sat beside Niall who was sprinkling salt over his food and beginning to eat. I placed the napkin in my lap, that became a habit after a long time. "So, Emily, how's the mum life treating ya?" Greg asked, taking a bite from his food.
I shrugged, "It's been hectic, but overall, it's been great." I smiled, sprinkling salt over my own food.
"It is, I remember when we had Theo, he wouldn't let us sleep at night." Dennise chuckled, ruffling Theo's hair as he ate, looking identical to Niall as he did.
I chuckled, "Via does wake me up a couple times in the night, but it's not that bad."
After dinner, I washed dishes while Dennise was drying them and putting them away while Niall took Via to get her changed for bed. "What do you think is going on with Niall?" I asked her, passing her another plate.
She shrugged, "I don't know, honestly. It's like he's pushing you off." She says, placing the now dry plate off to the side. Nothing he hasn't done before.
"Is it bad that he's doing that?" I asked quietly.
She shrugs, "Depends on their side of the story. If it's something he's stressed about, he'll come to you."
"But if it's not?"
Dennise shrugs again, "I don't know."
"I'm sure it's nothing to worry to about, Emily. Niall's a good guy, he would never do something bad." Dennise assured. God, I hope so. We finished washing the dishes as Maura came into the kitchen.
"My, those boys will eat everything." She chuckles, handing one last dish to me. "Is Niall like that at home?" She asks.
I nodded, "He is. I usually go shopping once a week and by the middle of the week, almost everything is gone." I laughed. Us girls talked a little while before I yawned and sighed, "I think I'm going to head to bed, goodnight."
Maura smiled, "Have a good night, love."
I got to the guest room, rubbing my eye and going inside. I found Niall asleep in only a pair of sweats with an arm around Via who was in her pj's. I smiled lightly, going to the suitcase and grabbing my own pajamas and changing quickly. I was careful to lay down on the bed and grab my phone. Notifications from Twitter and Instagram were the first thing I saw, which I just ignored and went to my messages.
From Yomara: bro, did you see?
I furrowed my eyebrows and typed in my reply.
To Yomara: See what?
From Yomara: Niall liked a post from some model and commented.
To Yomara: okay, and?
From Yomara: The comments weren't very rated PG
I looked at Niall and sighed. This can't mean anything, can it? Maybe they were just joking around?
To Yomara: It's probably nothing, Yomara. I'm not worried.
From Yomara: Just saying, if you need someone to beat Niall's ass, I will gladly do it
To Yomara: I know you would
I shut off my phone and set it aside. I rolled onto my side, facing Niall and Via, caressing her cheek and putting my head on my arm. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
