Kiersten:

I quietly followed Niall into the house not saying anything. He was angry and it was pretty obvious. He set Caesar down on the ground and the poor puppy was immediately surrounded by other animals trying to figure out what the hell he was doing in their house. But Caesar handed it well and he sniffed them right back.

"Fucking bastards." Niall said pounding his fist on the counter making everyone jump at the loud noise.

"Ni," I whispered putting my hand on his bicep. He turned and looked at me, his blue eyes hard but they quickly softened when he saw me.

"It's going to be okay." He whispered, pulling me into his chest. "I'm going to figure this out. I'll get out of it. What if I break my leg?"

"Niall," I said taking his face in my hands, "You can't get out of it. But the boys and I will be okay. Maybe I'll go home and spend time with my mom."

"You can't, babe. You're on bed rest starting in three days."

I groaned resting my forehead against his shoulder, "You have to go on tour, Ni. That's millions of girls who would miss the chance to see you."

"We're not even performing! Its just a promo tour for the new album."

"I don't understand that." I said shaking my head, "I really don't think that you're going to have any problems selling this album."

"I know, but management says we have to go." He mumbled pressing his lips against my forehead, "I don't want to leave you and the boys."

"I know, Niall. But this is your job, and I knew that when I married you. Maybe someone can come stay with me?" I asked looking at him.

"That would be good. But who would be able to? Everyone we know has a job or kids...or both..." He said thinking for a minute, "What about my mum?"

"Do you think she would?"

Niall laughed, "Of course she would. Let's call her, yeah?" He asked pulling his phone out of his pocket and calling his mom.

"Can we go sit down?" I asked.

"Oh, of course." He said leading me over to the circular couch so I could put my swollen feet up. I rested my head on Niall's chest just as him mom answered on speakerphone.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Hey mum." Niall chirped.

"Niall! Oh, hi honey? How are you? How's Kiersten and the babies?"

"We're all good, mum. The boys are doing really good. But we have something that we wanted to ask you."

"Okay, what is it baby?"

"Well, I'm leaving for tour in a week, until Christmas Eve and Kiersten can't come with me because none of the wives can and because she's on bed rest."

"Niall, that is awful! They can't do that! You need to be there for her!"

"I know mum, I tried. I tried really hard but there's nothing that I can do about it. I'm furious, but that doesn't change the fact that I still have to go."

"Well what are you going to do? Kiersten can't be in that big house all by herself! You've got animals."

"I know, and we just got a new puppy today. But that's why we are calling you. We were thinking maybe you'd want to come and stay with her?"

"Oh I would love to!" Maura cheered, "That sounds wonderful!"

Niall chuckled, "Okay, good. I'll arrange for you to fly in the day before I leave and I'll send you all the information."

"Okay, Niall. That sounds good. I'm so glad that you called. Kiersten and I can plan for those babies, and just have bonding time." She said making me smiled and kiss Niall's chest.

"Kiersten's excited too mum, but we should probably go, Kiersten's probably hungry. I'll talk to you soon. Love you, mum."

"Okay, bye Niall. Love you too. Tell Kiersten I love her and the babies also."

"I will mum, bye." He said hanging up the phone. "Well that's taken care of." He said kissing the top of my head.

"Does that make you feel any better about leaving?" I asked as Nando and Caesar ran into the room together with Frank trailing behind them.

"Not really." Niall said helping Frank up on the couch. He came over and snuggled right in next to my bump. "I'm still going to be freaking out worried about you guys every day."

"It's alright, me and our little potatoes okay."

"Our little potatoes?" He asked laughing.

I shrugged, "I'm sick of saying babies, and boys. I like potatoes."

"Alright, our little potatoes." He said putting his hand on my stomach. Niall's phone beeped and he looked at it before groaning.

"What is it?" I asked lacing our fingers together.

"Management wants me to tweet about being excited for the tour..." He said closing his eyes.

"Okay, well let's take a nap first." I said grabbing a blanket and tossing it over us.

"Okay, hold on. I want to call that guy who trained Nando to talk to him about working on Caesar too."

I nodded, "That sounds like a good idea." I said closing my eyes and before he was even on the phone with the guy I was asleep.

I woke up a while later and Niall was asleep underneath me. I smiled a little at his adorable sleeping face before working myself and my giant belly off of the couch. My stomach was already the size of a woman who was eight months pregnant with one baby, and I was only five and half months. I made myself some tea and grabbed some Ritz Bitz before heading into the library. I carefully made my way up the stairs to the loft and curled up, well curled up as best I could, and looked out the window at our rainy backyard.

My phone buzzed next to my feet and I saw that Niall had mentioned me in a tweet. @NiallOfficial: Excited for the promo tour in the States!! but going t miss this beautiful woman and our three little potatoes so much ! Attached was a picture of me holding the mug of tea in my hands and looking out the window, with my very large belly on display.

I spun my head around and saw Niall leaning against the railing of the loft and smiled softly, "They aren't going to be very happy with you." I said.

He shrugged and strolled over to me kissing my forehead before sitting with me burying his face in my neck, "Yeah well I'm not very happy with them." He mumbled against my neck.

I just hummed before popping a Ritz Bitz in my mouth, letting him plant soft kisses on my neck, before I stood up almost knocking him over. "Let's go swimming." I said not even bothering to apologize. After being with one of the clumsiest people in all the world for almost five years Niall was used to me almost falling over and bring him down with me. He just shrugged in agreement before helping me waddle my way down the stairs and then to the elevator. Niall and I both changed into our swimsuits and then headed down to the pool, where we just swam and relaxed and spent time just us two, well us two and our three little potatoes.

A few days later I woke up to breakfast in bed and Niall grinning at me, "Morning beautiful." He smiled.

But before I could smile back the smell of the eggs cooked on my plate got to me and I was slapping my hand over my mouth trying to move the tray of food but before I could Niall was holding a bucket in front of me. "Thank you." I mumbled wiping my mouth with the towel he handed me.

He smiled, "You're welcome, now what smell was it this morning? The bacon?"

"Eggs." I said pointing to them.

"Ahh, I should've known. That was my bad. I'm sorry." He said handing me a glass of water that I graciously accepted and chugged while Niall got rid of the eggs and got me a new puke bucket. "Better?" He asked coming back into the room.

I nodded, "What are we doing today?" I asked taking a bite of toast.

"We are not doing anything. You, Mrs. Horan, are on bed rest until these babies are born." He said tapping a finger on my stomach. "And that means you are only allowed to get out of this bed to shower or use the toilet."

I groaned throwing my head back against the head board, "That sounds so boring, Niall!"

Niall laughed, "The only reason you're complaining is because you have to. If you had the choice to you would totally be willing to sit in bed all day, and you know it."

"Yeah but not for months on end! I'm only doing it for these potatoes inside me. But I'm going to be doing a lot of online shopping."

"That's fine, boo. Why don't we do some shopping for clothes and stuff for the potatoes?"

"Okay," I said leaning in to kiss him but he moved his head so I got his cheek.

"Let me go get your tooth brush."

"I can't even go brush my teeth?!"

"No," Niall chuckled, "You can't. Shower and toilet only, Kiersten." He said and even though he was chuckling I knew that he was serious because he called me Kiersten, instead of babe or boo or something along those lines.

"Alright." I sighed and let him go and get my tooth brush for me. After I finished brushing my teeth and eating my breakfast I let out a little yawn making Niall chuckle.

"Alright baby, why don't you go back to sleep and I've got some errands to run and stuff. Hopefully I will be back before you wake-up. I love you." He said pressing a kiss to my lips before another to just above my belly button before he was out the door.

"I'm not even tired butt face." I mumbled grabbing my computer from the bedside table and opening up Skype. I saw Eleanor was online so I quickly called her.

"Hey babe!" She grinned. She was standing in her and Louis' kitchen and was bouncing Poppy on her hip.

"Hi hi!" Poppy said waving at me.

"Hi pretty girl." I grinned waving back. "Hey, El." I smiled as Louis strolled into the kitchen.

"Hey!" He said waving before giving El and Poppy each a kiss before disappearing once again.

"How's it going, babe?" Eleanor asked.

"Bed rest sucks." I groaned.

Eleanor chuckled, "How long have you been on bed rest? Didn't you just start today?"

"Yes! And it sucks already!" I said wiggling my toes, "I think I'm going to make Niall paint my toe nails later tonight."

"Where is Niall? Is he there?" Louis asked reappearing and taking Poppy from El.

"No." I pouted, "He went to run errands or something." I said and then started talking to Eleanor once again. I talked to Eleanor until she said that they were taking Poppy up to Doncaster to see Lou's family before he left for tour and they had to get going.

I sat and watched TV until Niall returned with bags and bags of stuff. "What is all that?" I asked my eyes wide.

"Stuff for you to do." He grinned, obviously very proud of himself. "I got you crafty shit," He said putting a sketch book, some paint, some yarn and knitting needles, some scrapbooking stuff, and bunch of other random stuff. "The new iPad that put all of your favorite apps on already, plus the kindle app so you can download books to read and stuff." He said handing me the iPad. "Plus this cute organizer thingy to put all of your stuff in so it's not all over the place. There's also a mini fridge just outside the door that I'm going to bring in and stock with all of your favorites. Plus I bought a bunch of other crap that I thought you might like," He said dumping out multiple bags on the bed revealing a bunch of random stuff making me laugh.

"Thank you, baby." I said puckering my lips for a kiss that he happily gave me. "So I know that you just did all of this for me but would you be willing to do something else?" I asked sticking my bottom lip out a little bit.

"Of course, what is it?" He asked starting to clean off the bed and put stuff in the organizer and in the drawer next to my bed.

I reached over to my bed side table where a bottle of red nail polish was sitting and handed it to him, "Will you paint my toenails? I can't reach them." I said and Niall chuckled and nodded and went to the bathroom and some stuff.

"Ready princess?" He asked and then grinned when I blushed at the old nickname.

"Yeah, yeah, prince charming." I said making him laugh as he gently started to take the nail polish off of my toe nails. After that he took some lotion and gave me an amazing foot massage.

"So this is the part where I get lost...I don't want to get varnish all over your skin." He said as he continued to rub the soles of my aching feet with his calloused thumbs.

"Go get some tape and then tape the skin around the nail." I said and he nodded before quickly running and grabbing some tape and quickly taping the skin around my toenails before he carefully started painting them with his tongue sticking out of lips a little. I took a quick picture of him and posted it to Twitter. @kierstencliff: @NiallOfficial's doing my toes for me since I can't reach them! Such a good husband <3 <3

"And done!" Niall said after taking off the last bit of the tape.

I looked down and smiled, "Thanks, Ni."

"How awful are they?"

"They aren't bad at all! A little streaky but its okay. They don't need to be perfect. It's not like I'm going anywhere."

Niall just hummed and came over to kiss me, "You hungry?" He asked.

"Yeah, I was actually just about to call Grimmy and make him bring me Nandos. Would you like some?"

"Yes please." He grinned as I pulled out my phone to call Nick.

As Niall and I sat in bed and ate our Nando's and he was telling me lame jokes just to make me laugh I realized exactly how much I was going to miss him and how much I needed him and I got sad.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He asked.

I shrugged feeling the tears well up in my eyes, "Nothing, I'm fine."

"Babe, come on, don't give me that. What's wrong baby?"

"I'm just going to miss you." I choked out.

"Oh baby." He cooed crawling towards me. "I'm going to miss you too." He said pulling me into his chest. "It'll be okay though. I'll Skype you every day and it's not even a month. It'll be okay, I promise. Plus, my mum is going to be here to take care of you, and the other girls will be around, too. And just think the day before I get home everyone comes here for Christmas."

I nodded. We were supposed to be going to Wisconsin for Christmas but because of my bed rest everyone was coming to our house. I clutched his shirt in my hand as I buried my face in his chest. I didn't want to let him go. I needed him.

"What time is your mum coming tomorrow?" I asked after we had been in bed for a while not saying anything, just Niall humming softly while he rubbed my back.

"I'm picking her up from the airport at eleven, but she's going to stay downstairs until she takes me to the airport the day after tomorrow."

I didn't say anything I just slipped my hand under his shirt and started kissing his neck.

"Babe." Niall said gently pushing me away, "We can't. You're on bed rest."

"We can't even have sex?!" I asked and he just shook his head pressing a kiss to my forehead. "This is awful!"

"Why don't we just watch a movie, yeah?" He asked grabbing the remote and turning the TV on. "Oh, by the way," He said as he scrolled the movie options on Netflix, "There's a guy coming tomorrow to set up this thing for you on the iPad. It will give you control of the curtains, the lights, the gate, the monitor for the gate, the heat, control over just about everything. I also, got you and my mum walkie-talkies. I know that you have phones but those are just simpler and easier."

"Okay. That sounds good. Can we watch that one?" I asked making him stop on a sappy tear-jerker.

"How about a funny one instead? Or maybe a scary movie?" He asked carefully.

"Fine. Whatever. I don't care." I said scooting away from him a little bit.

"Come on, babe." He said scooting closer to me, "Don't be like that. How about we go take a bath, hmm?" He asked pressing a kiss behind my ear.

"Am I even allowed to do that?" I snapped.

"Baby," He said running his hands up and down my arms. "I know you're frustrated. But won't our little potatoes being healthy be worth it?"

"Well yeah." I said knowing that he was right.

"So how about that bath?" He asked and I nodded. "Alright I'll go get it started and I'll come back and get you okay?" I nodded and he gave me a kiss before heading into the bathroom.

He came back a few minutes later and lifted me right out of the bed. "Niall!" I shouted, "What the hell are you doing?! I weigh like four hundred pounds!"

"Look, Miss America, I don't know what that means in kilos but it sounds like a lot and you don't weight a lot." He said and I looked down at his bulging biceps and I was even more upset with the no sex rule. He helped me out of my clothes and into the warm water before he slipped in behind me and I was asleep in minutes because there was nothing that I enjoyed more than a bath with my gorgeous husband. I enjoyed it so much, that I fell asleep.

I woke up the next morning to Niall's alarm going off and I smiled up at him before I realized that he was leaving the next day. "Morning, beautiful." He whispered pressing a gentle kiss to my lips, "I'm going to go jump in the shower, okay?" He asked gently and I nodded. He slipped out of bed giving me another kiss before he went to the bathroom. I was almost back to sleep when he came back in to the room and sat on the edge of the bed next to me. "I'm going to go pick up my mum then do you want me to pick up something to eat?" He asked, I nodded to sleepy to answer, "What do you want?"

"Don't care." I mumbled.

"Now, you and I both know that's a lie, so why don't you just tell me what you want?" He asked hovering over me so water droplets from his hair fell on my face.

"I want Chinese food. Sesame chicken, sweet and sour chicken, fried rice, and some cream cheese wontons. Oh and some chocolate milk and apple juice. Please."
