Chapter Fifty

Shall we get intimate again?

Owly, you're dear to me

When you are close to me I shiver

We got to take the twins home two days later. We were greeted with smiles as soon as we walked in, along with Jemma throwing her arms around our legs once we did. She smiled at us brightly and if it weren't for the fact I had a baby carrier in my hand I would've picked her up.

"I missed you." She smiles up at me, and I smiled down.

"I missed you too princess. You gotta let go of Daddy's leg though so he can help Mummy with your brothers." Jemma nodded quickly before letting go, looking at the two babies with wonderment in her eyes.

"I can hold?" She asked, pointing at Jaiden. I smiled at her softly before nodding.

"Yes. But you have to let either your mummy or I help you, okay?"

"Okay Daddy." She said excitedly, already running over to the couch. I chuckled softly before pulling Jaiden from his carrier, walking over to the couch where Jemma was already sitting. She sat in my lap as soon as I sat down, making a cradle with her arms like we had taught her when she had met Olivia. Carefully I set Jaiden in her arms, holding the back of his head and the ends of his feet as Jemma smiled brightly.

"I hold baby!" She said excitedly. Mum came into the room a minute or so later carrying Audrey and holding Jonah's hand. A.J. was behind them, a tired look on his face.

"Oh isn't he just precious." Mum cooed, helping Jonah onto the couch so he could sit next to Jemma. Audrey started to squirm at that point, whining as she tried to reach for me. Niall came into the house with Aiden who really wasn't all that happy. He let out a loud shriek that echoed through the room, making everyone look at him.

"Another baby?" Jemma looked at me with wide eyes. I smiled fondly at her, nodding my head as she spoke.

"We told you were getting two new brothers princess." I chuckled, kissing the top of her head. Niall got Aiden out of his carrier before walking over to the couch. He handed Mum Aiden, smiling softly as she sat down. We spent most of the day like that, cooing over the two little boys. Mum left after an hour or two, thanking us for allowing the visit. It wasn't until she left that we realized it was so late, the sun starting to set.

It reminded me of old times.

"I've got an idea." I suddenly said, seeing the perfect opportunity to start a family tradition. Niall arched his eyebrows.

"What?" He asked, somewhat hesitant.

"Let's get the kids dressed up in some warmer clothes and then we can go out and watch the sunset. It'll be fun." I shrugged, smiling at Niall.

"Alright. Let's do it." Niall smiled, already standing up.

-----

We were all sitting on the grass outside, a blanket underneath us and a small fire in front of us. We were roasting marshmallows and watching the sunset, just enjoying a quiet evening as a family. It had been ages since we had gotten do to this, in fact I couldn't even remember the last time.

"Daddy, you should tell us a story." A.J. suddenly said, looking up at me as I helped him with his marshmallow. Jonah was sitting next to me and A.J., his head against my arm.

"What kind of story do you want squirt?" I asked, resting my chin on his head. A.J. shrugged, pulling his marshmallow from the fire. I reached over Jonah to grab the graham crackers and chocolate. I helped him put the marshmallow on the graham crackers. He took a bite, giggling as I tried to take a bite of my own.

"Daddy no." A.J. whined, still giggling though.

"What kind of story do you want squirt?" I asked again.

"One with a happy ending." He answered, taking another bite of his smore. I smile at that before nodding. I wrapped my arms around A.J., kissing his cheek as he squirmed. After a minute he settles down, resting the back of his head against my chest.

"Alright squirt." I said, thinking of a good story to tell. I met eyes with Niall and the perfect story came to mind.

"Daddy. Tell story!" Jemma whined, already moving closer to me so she was leaning against my arm.

"Okay princess. It all started back when your mummy was only 21, he moved in next door to the towns player.... He hated him, but you couldnt exactly blame him...." And I started to tell them a story, a story about how the towns slut fell in love with the boy next door.

I told them about the day I puked on his shoes.

I told them the first pick up line I ever used on him.

I told them everything, their eyes wide with excitement. Eventually though they fall asleep, one by one until it's just Niall and I awake and gazing at the stars. I look over at him with a smile on my face, my arms holding three sleeping children. I meet eyes with him, his blue still as astonishing as they had always been.

".... And even to this day.... whenever you're close me.... I shiver."
