"That's good to hear. Do you still have time for each other?"
"For the most part. If not, we make time for each other," I smiled.
"Aw, that's sweet," She smiled as she started getting some snacks.
"Mummy!" Noelle whined as she toddled into the kitchen.
"What's a matter, baby?" I hummed, picking her up.
She nuzzled her head into the side of my neck and relaxed.
"Is she tired?" My mum asked.
"I think so, she'll be okay," I nodded.
"Mummy," She yawned.
"Shh, it's okay darling," I hummed.
My mum poured some crisps into a bowl and some other snacks before carrying them back into the livingroom.
"James, would you like a beer?" My mum asked.
"Sure, thanks love," Joe smiled graciously.
"Joe?" My mum asked.
"No, I'm good thank you," He nodded.
My mum left and returned with a beer for James. I relaxed on the sofa and Noelle still held onto me.
"Is she alright?" Joe asked.
"Yeah, just tired," I nodded, smiling.
"Noah!" Joe laughed as Noah crawled into the next room, minding his own business.
Joe got up and carried him back through here, holding and bouncing him on his lap. He soon started getting fussy, like Noelle, because of missing their nap time.
"I think we're going to go. They are both getting fussy now," I smiled.
"Have fun in California!" Joe grinned happily.
"Aw, thank you," My mum smiled, giving Joe a hug and Noah a small kiss on the forehead.
"Have fun, bye," I smiled giving James a hug, and then my mum.
Joe and James shook hands before I made sure to put all the toys in the baby bag before carrying it to the car as I still carried Noelle.
"Oh, she's already fallen asleep," I said softly, buckling Noelle in the car seat.
"Noah's just about to fall asleep too," Joe nodded.
"Minx! You forgot this," My mum said as she rushed outside to hand us Noelle's blankie that was left inside.
"Oh my God! Thank you!" I said graciously, giving her another hug before she returned inside and we drove back to the flat.

"I'm going to upload yesterday's vlog, is that alright?" Joe asked, referring to Noelle's adoption yesterday.
"Yeah, of course!" I smiled, giving him a kiss.
"Dada!" Noelle cried as she woke up from her nap.
"I'll get her," I nodded, allowing Joe to upload the video.
"Okay," He nodded.
"Mummy," Noelle cooed as I picked her up and rocked her as she woke up more.
"Let's go see Daddy," I smiled, carrying her on my hip into Joe's and I's room.
"Dada!" Noelle smiled, jumping as I held her.
"'Elle!" Joe smiled as he held her on his lap as he was working on uploading the video still.
"I'm going to check on Noah while I'm up," I said as I left the room again.
Quietly walking into Noah's room, he was just sitting up in bed and yawning.
"Hi there, sleepy baby," I smiled, picking him up out of his cot.
Noah babbled and gurgled a bit, properly waking up.
"Yay! Noah's joined us!" Joe cheered, bouncing Noelle on his lap.
"No-ah!" Noelle clapped.
I cradled Noah as I sat next to Joe on the bed and Noelle held Noah's hand.
"Aw," I hummed quietly.
"Noelle, do you love Noah?" Joe laughed lightly.
Noelle nodded her head, looking at the screen Joe was working on.
"Me!" Noelle shouted, pointing to the screen as Joe was finishing editing the vlog.
"Yeah! You're famous!" Joe laughed.
He grabbed his phone and took a picture of us all cuddled up on the bed together.
"Aw, I'm setting this as my background," Joe gushed playfully.
"Cute," I smiled, as Noah rolled over and played with my hair and earrings, "Careful."
"Hm?" Joe asked.
"Noah's pulling my earrings," I breathed, holding his hand and taking it away from my ear.
"Noah," Joe laughed.
"Ouch!" I laughed, pulling Noah's hand away, despite him reaching back.
"No, No-ah!" Noelle shook her head.
"When did our little girl get so commanding?" Joe laughed.
"When hasn't she? She's a... Diva," I laughed, having to think of the word.
"Oh God," Joe laughed.
After a few more minutes, Joe finished the video and uploaded it.
"Done!" Joe smiled, closing his laptop.
"Now everyone will know, Noelle is ours," I smiled.
"Yeah," Joe nodded, giving me a small kiss, "I'm so happy."
"Me too," I grinned, kissing Noah on the cheek as I lifted him into the air playfully.
