Kiersten:

I sighed walking through the theatre room picking up garbage. The boys were playing video games and I was ready to strangle them all. Eleanor had a doctor's appointment, Danielle and Elise were going to see her parents, Samie was still in class until the next week, and Zayn's mom and sisters in town and took Xara somewhere, the children's museum I think. That left me with all of the boys making a mess at my house.

"Babe, come on I can't see!" Niall shouted leaning into Louis' lap to see the screen better.

"It's nice outside. You should all go outside or something." I said still trying to pick up their disgusting mess.

"It's actually raining." Zayn said scorning a goal making Louis cheer and the other three boys groan. It was three to two to try and keep it fair but Louis and Zayn always won. Probably because Harry didn't even really like video games. He just made his player do stupid stuff, like run around in circles.

"I'm going to take a bath. If I can hear you two floors up I will shoot you." I said pointing to all of them. They all nodded and I made my way up to the master bathroom.

I drew a hot bath with a lot of bubbles and lit some candles before sinking into the hot water. I had been in the bath for a long time when Niall scared the crap out of me, "Isn't your water cold yet?"

I opened one eye to look at him, "No. When it starts to get cold I let some out and then replace it with hot water." I said closing my eyes again.

"Your skin is probably going to stay permanently wrinkled. And if I wanted a wrinkly wife I would have married someone old."

I chucked some bubbles in his general direction making him laugh. "Go away, Niall."

It was silent for a minute until I heard the sound of metal hitting the tile floor. I opened my eyes and saw Niall stripping down naked.

"What are you doing?" I asked as he stepped towards me.

"Getting in with you, what's it look like?" He asked sinking down on the opposite side of the tub.

"Where are the boys?"

"Kitchen."

"And we're trusting them down there by themselves because?"

Niall laughed grabbing my foot and massaging it, "Relax, babe. I'll clean up their mess. Or make Liam do it."

I didn't reply I just kept my eyes closed. We sat in comfortable silence until the water started getting cold. I reached forward to unplug the train to let a bit of water out when Niall grabbed my wrist. "If you unplug it then you have to get out. Come hang out with me and the boys. I know that you're stressed about everyone coming next week but you're an amazing hostess, everyone already loves you so there's no one to impress, and I'll be here to help too."

I made my way across the large tub to sit in his lap, "What if I screw up and ruin Christmas?"

Niall laughed, "You can't ruin Christmas, babe. All of our family will be here. We'll be with the people we love. You can't ruin that." I just sighed. Niall chuckled, "You know I'm right. I always am."

"That's definitely not true. I'm the right one in the relationship. Whether I'm actually right or not, I'm always right."

"That's because you're the woman."

"Am I?"

Niall looked down at my bare chest and nodded. "Looks like it." He said kissing my neck lightly, "But we should probably found out, if you know what I mean."

I laughed, "I don't think I get it. You should probably show me."

We were interrupted by a knock on the door and then Louis' voice, "Guys?"

"What Lou?" Niall yelled.

"Are you having sex?"

This made me laugh, "We should probably get out. I'm starting to get cold anyway."

"But I was going to warm you up!" Niall whined.

I laughed, "We're on our way out, Lou!"

"Babe, I can't go out there like this. I need to finish."

I grabbed my bath robe, "Not my problem." I said slipping it on. I walked to the door but Niall beat me to it.

"Please, babe?" He asked with the puppy dog eyes, "you're my wife."

I sighed but helped him out anyway.

Niall wanted to take an actual shower so I put on some yoga pants and a sweatshirt and went down stairs to make sure the boys hadn't broken anything or killed one of the cats or something. I passed by the 'wedding wall' and smiled. It was something that I had put together a few weeks before. The center was two pieces of canvas art, my vows written on one and Niall's written on the other and in between them was my favorite picture of Niall and I that had been taken. Well second favorite. My favorite had been the picture of our silhouette with all the lanterns behind us but that was hanging up in our bedroom. My favorite picture of the whole wedding though was one of Niall with his jaw hanging open. It was when he saw me for the first time just before I walked down the aisle. His blue eyes were shining and he just looked so attractive.

I walked into the surprisingly clean kitchen and eyed the boys suspiciously. They were all either standing or sitting at the counter, each with a sandwich in their hands or on the plate in front of them. "Why are you looking at us like that?" Louis asked.

I didn't say anything I just walked over to where the garbage was stored. I relaxed when I saw what was probably an entire bag of chips in the garbage can. "You cleaned it up yourself. Good job." I smiled them.

"We are all older than you. We can clean up our on messes, love." Liam said.

"Yes, but on a scale of one to ten how often does that actually happen?" I asked grabbing the container of brownies I had made the day before and setting them on the counter where they all could reach them.

"About negative four." Zayn said grabbing a brownie.

I laughed, "Exactly." I went to Niall's office and grabbed a piece of paper and a pen before sitting on the stool next to Harry.

"What are you doing?" He asked leaning over to look at my paper.

"Trying to figure out where the frick everyone is going to sleep next week."

Niall walked in the room and I looked at him, "Do you think we could Preston and Willie in your office? It's bigger than mine and I've already filled all the guest rooms, I think."

"Okay who do we have in a guest room?"

"My grandma and grandpa, my mom and Andy, your dad and Aiofe, your mom and Chris, my dad and his girlfriend, Greg and his family, and your nan, my grandma, and my aunt ReNee all have a single. That's nine."

"Yeah, Preston and Willie can go in my office. Okay, Who else to do we have to include?"

"Are Sean and Kayla coming?"

"No, just family. You have everyone from my family included already I think."

"Okay well we still have Kali and Brett. Everyone else can be placed wherever."

"Why don't you two just stay somewhere else and give up your bed?" Lou said.

"Don't even ask, Niall. It's not happening." I said.

"You guys could just sleep in the barn." Harry said jokingly.

"Actually," I looked at Niall, "There's no animals in there yet is there?" Niall shook his head, "But there is that separate insulted room with a shower and toilet in the loft. I bet I could make it cute and stuff before everyone gets here. Then we can move Greg and his family up to our room-"

"Babe, we have sex in that bed. Greg's not going to want to stay there."

"We can change the sheets." I said with an eye roll,

"They probably need it anyway after-"

"If you say another word you can sleep in the horse stall all by yourself and I'll sleep in the loft room." I pointed at him

"Yes, darling." He said shutting his mouth making all the boys laugh.

"Then Brett and Kali can move into the empty guest room. Taylor and Bailey can just sleep in the theatre room and then we can put Sabrina in my studio and Larissa in my office. They need to be separated or they'll never sleep. All that leaves is JJ."

"He can sleep in the rec room. There's couches in there."

"No there's too much that appeals to him. He can sleep on the couch in the library."

"Good. Now that we have all of that figured out we can play FIFA!" Niall cheered.

"Okay, I'll come down with you but I have to start figuring stuff out for the barn."

Four days later the barn loft was finished (http://pinterest.com/pin/169940585911708064/) and I was in panic mode because people were arriving that night. "Babe." Niall said wrapping an arm around my waist to stop me from moving. "Relax. The only people coming tonight are my mum and Chris. It's not even a big deal. Mum already said she just wants to order a pizza and relax tonight."

"Yeah, but then twenty-three other people are showing up tomorrow!" I said pulling away.

"Okay, that's enough." Niall said picking me up and carrying me over to the elevator. He pressed the button for the third floor and when we arrived he carried me to the bed set me down and then climbed on top of me. He rested his whole body weight on top of me and held me there. "Go to sleep."

"Niall, I have too much to do!"

"No you don't. You have nothing to do." He said.

"I have to go grocery shopping."

"After we take a nap." He said.

"Fine."

"I'm going to get off of you now, you're not going to run are you?"

"No." I pouted. Niall rolled off of me and wrapped an arm around me before I did eventually take a nap.

I woke up a bit later and Niall and I went grocery shopping. I sat in the cart while Niall pushed us around piling the stuff I was listing off on top of me.

"Why do we need so much stuff, again?"

"Because we're feeding twenty-five people plus us for a week. All we need is 5 gallons of milk and then we can go.

"Five gallons? Babe who drinks that much milk?"

I laughed, "Niall baby, we got through that many just at grandma Bonnie's house when we're all there. We're going to need more than that before the week is over."

We were putting away the groceries when Harry called me asking if he and Samie could come over before they headed up to Cheshire. Samie's family was also going to be there. They were having a Christmas thing at Harry's mom's house.

Liam and Danielle had already left with Elise for Liam's parent's house they would also be going to see Danielle's family. Zayn had gone back to Bradford with his family a few days before. Louis and Eleanor were having both of their families over but not until Christmas day, so we were expecting them to be over quite often too.

We finished up right before they got to our house and I gave Samie a hug and Harry a kiss on the cheek as I let them in. Niall and Harry went to the kitchen while Samie and I sat down on the circular couch. "Are you excited for everyone to come?" She asked.

"Are you kidding? I'm freaking out."

"Why, I'm not nervous for everyone to be in the same place." She laughed.

"Youre also not having twenty-five people stay in your house for a week. You don't have to feed them all. Plus Harry eats a normal amount of food I'm basically feeding thirty people this weekend, not including myself."

Samie laughed, "You'll be fine." We talked for a while until Harry came in and said that they had to get going. I wrapped my arms around Harry's torso and hugged him tightly. I hadn't been able to see Harry often and I missed the big weirdo. "Let's hang out soon. Before you shoot the movie, okay?" He said.

"Okay, Harold." I said squeezing him before letting go and hugging Samie goodbye. After they left I settled down on the couch to spend some time on Twitter. I could hear Niall in the music room playing his guitar. He was writing a new song.

"I'm going to pick my mum, Chris, and Nan up." Niall said coming into the room and kissing my head. "You want to come with me?"

"Sure." I said closing my computer and getting up. We made sure to turn on all the pretty Christmas lights that Niall and I had put up a couple weeks earlier before we left. To avoid a scene Niall and I just waited in the car for them to come out.

I saw them and got out hugging Maura and Nan while Niall and Chris put the bags in the trunk of Niall's black Range Rover.

I was the most nervous for my family to come the next morning. Niall and I had been in our house for a year but no one in my family besides Kali has gotten the chance to see it in person. I was nervous of what they would think about it.

We picked up a pizza on the way home and ate it in the breakfast nook in the kitchen. Niall, Maura, and Chris decided they wanted to watch a movie, but Nan decided she was going to sit by the fireplace and read. I grabbed my script and curled up next to Niall to go over it some more. "Don't you have that memorized yet?" Niall asked.

"No. You try to memorize this." I said shaking it in his face.

"I memorize songs all the time."

"I have all your songs memorized too." I said poking his ribs.

"And notes, and guitar chords."

"I'm not just memorizing, babe. I'm adjusting and rewriting my lines. They aren't final and I have to read them and decide if I like them or want to completely re-write them. Plus I have to be in constant contact with Robert and Alexander to make sure that what I'm saying fits what they're saying. It's a lot harder than it looks."

"Okay baby. I'm sorry." He said kissing my cheek and going back to the movie.

The next morning Niall got up and headed to the airport to get Greg, Bobby, Aiofe, Greg's wife, and baby Finn who were flying in early. My dad's side of the family was flying in a few hours later and my mom's side a few hours after that. I couldn't go with to pick them up because there wouldn't be enough room in the car so I stayed home and made breakfast.

"Morning, Nan." I said walking into the kitchen where she was drinking a cup of tea.

"Morning, dear." She said in her thick Irish accent.

"I'm going to make some breakfast for everyone. Is there anything special you would like?"

"Some American food. I never get that stuff." She said. I laughed and decided on pancakes, french toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage.

Niall came home and wrapped his arms around my waist, "Smells good, honey." He kissed my cheek before stealing a piece of bacon.

"Watch the food for a minute. I need to see this baby." I said walking away to find Finn. "He is so cute!" I said spotting Greg sitting on the couch with his baby in his arms. Greg handed me the baby and I smiled when I saw his bright blue eyes that matched his uncle's exactly. "Well around you just a little Horan." I cooed. He was a spitting image of Greg, Bobby, and Niall.

Greg laughed, "Port kid didn't even get the pretty genes from his mum." He said kissing her cheek making her blush slightly.

I laughed, "Well I'm stealing this little cutie." I walked back into the kitchen where Niall was still cooking but Nan was happily eating a plate full of food.

"Hi, Finny." Niall cooed brushing his index finger of Finn's cheek. "You're going to meet Willie today. Maybe you'll fall in love. She's cute."

"Niall! They're related!" I laughed.

"Not by blood! You're not even blood related to Willie." He said poking my nose, "It would be completely okay for them."

Even though technically he was right it was still weird. "No it's weird. Don't listen to him Finn. Stay away from girls." The baby just moved his eyes around taking everything in.

After breakfast Niall and I each drove our own vehicle to the airport so we could pick up my dad's side of the family. ReNee, my grandma, Willie, and Larissa all rode with me while the guys rode with Niall. I saw Taylor get in all the way in the back where the suitcases were and had to laugh.

I followed Niall back to the house and heard my family gasp as we pulled up to the gate. We pulled in and my grandma looked at me and smiled, "It's beautiful."

"Thank you. It gets a bit big sometimes but I love it here. It's quiet. And no nosey neighbors." We parked the cars and the guys carried everyone's bags in. "I'll show everyone to their rooms and then anyone who wants a tour can have one." Preston put Willie down for a nap and then went to play video games with Bailey, Taylor, and Niall in the theater room where I expected the boys to be most of the time they were at our house. Larissa was having a blast looking through my closet and I took everyone else on tour.

I was in the library taking a breather from all the chaos when Niall slipped in. "You okay, darlin'?"

I nodded, "Just taking a breather." I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"Okay. As long as you're alright." He kissed my forehead, "We have to go back to the airport now. Last time for the day. I nodded following Niall out. We told everyone that we were leaving and would be back soon and I got in my car and played Ed's latest CD as I drove to the airport.

Jeramiah, Sabrina, Kali, and Brett rode in my car while Andy, my mom, and my grandma rode with Niall. We went through the same thing as we did when we brought my family back the first time and then I curled up on the couch downstairs next to Louis' who had arrived while we were gone. Eleanor had to work or something so Lou was bored.

"Hey, love." He grinned wrapping an arm around my shoulder.

"Hi, Lou." I said as I watched Niall play video games with my cousin and brothers. Louis and talked quietly while the boys played until I decided to go start cooking food for dinner, but I had no idea what to make for everyone.

"What do you guys think I should make for dinner?" I asked my mom, grandma Bonnie, and Maura who were sitting at the kitchen counter.

"Something that's easy to make big quantities of. You could do pasta?"
