Later that night..

Niall’s POV
I walk through the front door, shutting it behind me. ‘’Jana?’’ I call out, no answer. ‘’Tori?’’ I try, but still no answer. ‘’Taylor?’’ Still no answer. Well then, where are they? I get concerned as I notice Jana’s phone sitting on the couch, the TV was on Spongebob and the living room, kitchen, and stairway lights were on.

I begin the trip up the stairs. ‘’Jana?’’ I call out again, no answer at all though.I get up to the second floor. I open the first door in the all, the guest room that we converting into a gym a while back, which Jana loves because of my new body. I was much more fit, healthier, and as Jana says my “muscles are sexy as hell” So.. yeah. We definitely love it.

But why would my pregnant wife, I love that word by the way, and my two little kids be in there. Wow Niall, that stupid eh. I sigh to myself and close the door, not even attempting to look for them in there. I skip the next two doors, both guest rooms, well actually one of this is a nursery now, for our little baby on the way. The other, still a guest room,I call it Harry’s room though, ‘cause he always stay in that room when he comes over, he always has.

I see that Taylor’s bedroom door is open, but the lights are off. I also realized that the hall lights were off, too. I look down the hall to Tori’s door, it was open but no lights are on. I know they’re not in the loft, because Jana doesn’t like taking Taylor up there alone, especially now that she’s eight months and about to pop soon, because of the stairs.

So they must be in our bedroom. I open the door quietly, just in case they are. The light was off, the bathroom light was off to. But I switch on the light since it was dark, I hadn’t realized what time I got home.. almost ten. Stupid people that I have to deal with at the record label. Stupid.

I get a wave of relief washing over me as I see all three of them asleep on the bed, sleeping at odd angles and positions, none of them under the cover. Jana was lying near the edge but not too close, and she was on her side, her back facing the edge of the bed.

Tori had her hands lied on top of each other as they sat beneath her cheek, she was on her side too. Taylor, however, was on his back, his arms beside him, his knees bent a little. I smile gently at it. It was cute. So, I take the chance to snap a cute picture. I’ll post it later, but right now I have to carefully wake Jana with out waking up the kids, just so she’ll know I’m home.

If I have to sleep in the guest room because she doesn’t want to wake them, I will do just that. Anything to keep Jana and the kids happy.

Silently, I walk over to the bed. I lean down to Jana’s ear, one hand on her belly, the other on the top of her head, gently though. ‘’Jana.. baby.. I’m home.’’ I whisper into her ear, making sure I wasn’t loud. I eyed Tori and Taylor as I whispered to Jana. ‘’Wake up, love.’’

She moans gently as she squirms at my touch. ‘’Shh.’’ I hush her as I kiss her cheek lightly. ‘’I’ll be in the other room.. okay?’’ I whisper back. She nods a little before I kiss her lips gently and remove my hands from her body. It was pretty cold in here, and outside since it was November.

I walk over to the closet and open the sliding doors. I go in and look in the huge dresser that sits against one of the walls. I knell down and open the lowest drawer. I grab three blankets and then close it back. I close the closet door as I exit. I take one of the covers, a light pink one with some sort of design knitted into the center of it, Jana’s grandmother made this a long time ago, when Jana was a kid.

I cover Tori up with it. I take another, one that was mine from when I was little. It was white but had the softest surface, and a few stains that my mother couldn’t get out. But that was okay. I cover Taylor up with that one. I wasn’t picking favorites, its just happen to be what I had in my hand.

The last one was more of like a cover that would go on the bed, a comforter. I cover Jana up with it, I know she likes the fluffy, bigger blankets better, because she can cuddle up with them when I’m not at home, which is getting to be more and more often because of the label and stuff.

Once I finally got them situated, and the room like it was before I arrived home, the lights off and the door shut, expect I didn’t shut it completely. I was too cautious, I guess, when it came to my family.

I had just gotten back upstairs from turning all the lights off downstairs and making sure the front door and back door are locked, which they were. I lie silently in the bed, I felt lonely but I knew my kids and my wife were safe. That’s all that matters at the end of the day. That’s all.

2:41a.m.

Something woke me up. I didn’t know what it was at first, but I soon figured it out as I recognized the familiar touch, scent, and voice. Jana had her hand on my bicep, shaking me lightly, whispering my name.

“Hmmm?’’ I hum gently as I roll over, knocking Jana’s hand off accidentally. ‘’Come get in the bed with me.’’ She whines out as she grabs my hand, pulling me gently but not moving me at all, just my arm.

‘’Baby… go get back in the bed.’’ I sigh out, she needs to be sleeping. She needs all the rest she can get. ‘’No.. come get in the bed with me!’’ She whines some more. ‘’But the kids.. Jana.’’ I sigh lightly. ‘’Can you.. put them in their rooms? I can’t..’’ she asks as I look up at her. She’s so damn beautiful.

‘’Okay.. fine.’’ I huff gently as I lean up and throw my legs off the bed. With all the power I have at this time of night, I stand up and put my hands on Jana’s waist as she puts her arms around my neck, it was hard for us to be close, but it was still a moment we shared, so it was all perfect.

‘’Why were you late again?’’ She asks me with a sigh. ‘’I caught up in some auditions.. I’m sorry. I called, but you didn’t answer.’’ I tell her. ‘’What time did you call?’’ She asks curiously. ‘’Like seven..’’ I shrug lightly. ‘’I was fixing dinner.. yours was in the microwave.. I thought you would be home..’’ she mumbles gently, looking away from my eyes.

‘’Thank you… I’ll eat it for breakfast.’’ I wink gently as she glances at me, getting a giggle from me. She couldn’t even be sad for a few moments. That’s a good thing though, I can lift her spirits.. and I love that.

“I didn’t know I would be late.. I’m sorry, baby.’’ I sigh gently, telling her the truth and trying to make her feel a little better. ‘’I understand.. and thank you for waking me up earlier.. I was upset because I thought.. you know.. you would be really late.’’ She tells me.

‘’I was freaking out when I came in.. I called for all three of you but didn’t get an answer. But I was definitely calm when I came into the bedroom.’’ I mumble gently. ‘’Sorry.. Tori and I were looking for Taylor an hour after we ate, and he was passed out in the bed. So, me and Tori decided to join him.’’ Jana tells me of this cute story that I missed, of course I did.

‘’Well at least he wants to sleep.’’ I say with a smile. ‘’Yeah.’’ She says, removing her arms from around me. Jana sits her hands on her belly, staring down at it. ‘’I wish some one else would sleep more often.’’ She huffs a little.

‘’He must be moving a lot?’’ I ask. ‘’Too much.’’ She mumbles back as I take her hand and we leave the room, slowly though because she was tired and pregnant. So yeah..

I joined Jana in the bed where we snuggled up together just after I put the kids in their own beds. Tori woke up in my arms, but she went back to sleep as I tucked her in and sang a few verses of “She Will Be Loved”. Tori loves that song.. so does Jana.

Taylor was complete asleep, so that was good. But now its my turn to get to that complete state of sleep.. thankfully with my wife.

I love that word!
