Chapter 14

The boys are away to their first show in Barcelona on their new tour, no longer under the influence of Brad. This also happen to be the day the girls decide to throw me a baby shower. I woke up with all the girls in my kitchen along with my mom and two sister in laws.

My eyes still feel a little raw from crying, and my cheeks are stained, but Mady and Avery insisted I sit back in my comfy chair, kick my feet up, and watch TV.

I did as told. Harry kept sending me text about how the pre-show was progressing and what the boys were doing to get ready. I passed the pictures around to the girls so we could all have a giggle at the shirtless idiots, them attempting to dance, and working out. I even heard My mom and Anne laugh from the kitchen. When I looked back they immediately stop, having been caught, and resume working on who knows what.

"Oh." I jump a little and place my hands on my belly. Both of the buggers decide to give me a hard nudge on both sides of me. "I can't wait to you are out of me." I growl at them. They kick in response. I pregnant sister-in-law smiles and rubs her hand over her growing belly.

"You say that now, and I feel the same way, but there will come times you wish they didn't have feet or hands or mouths again." She laughs and I roll my eyes.

"Carly, you have to admit, you never really wanted kids until one day that little dude popped out," I point to the four year old at her feet. "and now you don't want to stop, so it can't be that bad. I on the other hand have always wanted kids and wouldn't mind having one or two more, but that's it. I have a limit."

"Aunt Lele?" I look down at Jasper and he stands to his feet. "Are the babies talking?" I smile and nod. Carly says he doesn't understand that kicking and talking are different things. They are both type on communication to him.

"Yeah, I think they are." they seem to roll over in my belly and kick the whole way around.

"Can I listen?" I nod, and the four year old skips over to me, with hesitation and crawls in my lap. Carly admonishes him to be careful but I just shrug it off. He stretches his body down and presses an ear to the right side of the bump placing a hand on the other side. His little mouth forms an 'o' and his eyes go wide. "I hear something!"

"What are they saying?" I ask with a smile on my face. I looks at m skeptically before putting his lips to the cotton covered area and whispers.

"Can I tell your mommy?" I try not to move so he can hear their response. They kick. "They said I can tell you."

"Okay, then what was it?"

"They are hungry." He responds simply but then puts his ear back down. "And this one," he points to baby A, "wants to listen to music. And this one," he pats baby B, "Misses uncle Harry." I furrow my eyebrows and smile.

"You must be the Dr. Doolittle for babies, huh?" He shrugs and brushes his shoulders off, the same attitude as his dad, and goes back to his mothers feet. I yawn and the babies kick in a rhythm that slowly dies off to nothing. They are tired too.

"I think I better get some sleep." I says and settle back into the chair. Mady jumps up out of the chair, runs up stairs, and returns with my body pillow. I smile and snatch it from her hands. "Thanks, babe. I guess I'll keep you around for a while longer." I wink at my best friend before cuddling up with my Harry replacement.

"Hey, baby girl." I big rough hand slides down my cheek, and a kiss is placed on my forehead. I can't tell who the voice is, my mind is too foggy. He sounds like a mix of Channing Tatum's, Zac Efron's, Daniel Sharman's, Jamie Dornan's, and Jensen Ackles. One dream, five men, great time.

The hand runs over my hair and I sigh, but don't bother to move a muscle.

"Leah." The voice says again, and it's more distinctive now. My eyes flutter up and immediately a smile pops on my face.

"Daddy." I smile and attempt to sit up and wrap my arms around his neck but instead he leans down and takes me in his arms. When he stands straight again I notice my brothers behind him. "What are you doing here?" I smile as they too take their turn for a hug.

"Just wanted to check on my baby sister, of course." Blaine says and ruffles my un-brushed hair.

"Harry flew us out." My dad answers. Your mom contacted him and the girls about a surprise baby shower. Baby shower? I look around and sure enough the whole place is decked out in all sorts of baby things.

How long have I been asleep?

Above the fire place is a sign that says "It's A ?". It makes me smile. There is all sorts of food in the kitchen and the counter top that I can see, one corner of the room has multiple presents in it and there are pacifiers and diapers hanging everywhere.

"We are just going to leave it to you girls, but thought we would at least come say, and pick up Jasper." I nob and look at the boy in his fathers arms.

"Well, I'm so happy that you did." I say and smile at all three of them. Before they leave they wish us a fun time spread hugs and kisses all over the room, jasper insisted on giving his nieces or nephews a kiss as well, said goodbyes and left us girls on out own.

"Ok, time to get this party started." Mom says and plops down on the couch cushion closest to me.

"Yay! Mady exclaims and leaves the room but returns with a wire basket. "Ok, in this basket are different games. You get to randomly pick one." She extends the basket out to me and I look down at the folded pieces of paper before looking at her again. She nods her head, encouraging me, and I roll my eyes.

My fingers scramble the papers a little bit before finally choosing one. I unfold the slip and read it out loud.

"Dirty Diapers?" I say and when I look up Mady has her signature I-have-an-evil-plan smile on her face.

***

We have played a total of five games by now. We just finished up a game where we saw who could finish their baby food first and it's eight o'clock. Harry texted me to let me know that they got on stage earlier than expected so the show was one third of the way finished. My dad and brothers swung back buy to grab some dinner our mom's made before leaving again. They never said where they were going.

I could see that the girls were getting tired. Jasper was getting fussy and growing baby didn't help Carly either. Mady has now given up on trying to keep the party alive, resorting to putting on Netflix. I take my phone from the arm of the chair and scroll through all my social media apps, ending on Snapchat. I click through all my friends stories and try not to laugh too hard. Why am I friends with these people?

"Leah?" I look up at Mom and Anne standing above me. "Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah, for being on 'bed rest' I guess. I wish I could have done more, but it was fun watch all of you make fools of your self." I smile and the two women roll their eyes. "Harry said he would Skype us as soon as the show was over." I add and Anne smiles.

"I know he wishes he was here." She says and runs a hand over my hair.

Out of no where, the twins decide to be restless and start kicking up a storm. I place one hand in the middle of them, as if to break them apart, and they calm down a little bit.

"Can someone hand me the headphones?" I ask pointing to the big black and silver beats on the coffee table. My mom picks them up and hands them to me. I plug them into my phone and place them on my belly. If pay close attention you can see the babies kick them.

I don't go straight to playing the kids bedtime playlist, I search for the boy's Snapchat. I'll let the babies hear their dad and uncle's voices before we go to bed. There isn't a lot posted. The first video is of Niall laughing and making faces. Next one is of Liam saying hi. Harry finally comes up with a message to the fans and it's as if his voice makes the babies freeze. Maybe Jasper really is a baby whisperer.

The rest of the videos and pictures are of the concert, obviously the twins don't like the chaos or they wouldn't be kicking so much again. I click off of Snapchat and maneuver to the music app and push shuffle on their playlist. Ron Pope, A Drop In the Ocean, is the first one to play. Instantly the babies start to calm down and I relax back into the chair.

After a couple of minutes of watching the movie, I put it together that it is The Interview.

"Fine, you want to see it?" James Franco's character says to Seth Rogen. "Feast your eyes!" and when he moves his hands....wow.

We all bust out laughing not being able to contain our selves. It's late, we are sleep deprived, and high off of sugar, not a good combination, usually.

"Oh my gosh!" Carly says trying to catch her breath from laughter, but failing. "I think I'm about to wet my self." I laugh with her and nod my head in agreement.

"I think I did!" I laugh but then everything calms down and they look at me. I stop laughing too, looking down at my lap, placing one of my hands under me.

I look up at all the worried eyes and the babies kick.

"Shit."

((Sorry it took so long. Next one is i the works now. Hope fully it wont be as long. Sorry about any mistakes.))
