The Girl They All Loved

Let's go on vacation

My Saturday started off like any other. My son had just got off the potty, my mother was brushing his teeth, my father was watching tv as I was making breakfast for us all. I was just finishing up and beginning to serve when my father called my mother from the living room.

"Sheryl!" He called loudly.

"Stop yelling pop pop, we're coming down now!" I heard my son's voice shout back and I could do nothing but smile at the sound of his voice. I love my son. He means everything to me. I just wish he had a father. I thought his birth father and I were gonna work out but that didn't happen. We don't see him anymore. I actually took his rights away and removed his name from Niall's birth certificate. Niall that's my son's name. Yes after Niall Horan from One Direction. I'm a huge 1D fan, I always have been. I cried when Zayn left. I was actually 5 months pregnant with my son the day I heard he quit the band. Anyway back to the day that changed my life. My mother and son came downstairs and as usual my son ran to me and hugged me.

"Good morning mommy" he said as he squeezed tightly onto my leg.

"Good morning baby" I said as I put the plates of food I had in my hand on the table and hugged him back.

"What are we doing today?" He asked as he let me go and climbed into his chair.

"That's what I want to talk to everyone about" I heard my father say from the living room, before I could answer my son.

"Can you guys come in here?" My son looked at me confused and I just shrugged my shoulders. I was just as confused as him.

"What's up dad?" I asked as Niall came in right behind me.

"I wanna go see my family down south and hang out with my brothers and sisters for a couple weeks" he said and we all just stood there. My mother and I weren't that phased by it but my son seemed a little hurt.

"Are we coming with you pop pop?" He asked hurt.

"No baby just me" he said and my son looked like his world would fall apart.

"But what are we gonna do while you're gone?" He asked as he climbed into his lap.

"Why don't we go on vacation too?" My mom asked.

"Sounds good but where?" I asked.

"California?" She said.

"I like it" I said as I shrugged my shoulders.

"How bout it baby? You, me and NaNa in California?" I asked Niall.

"What will do there?" He asked.

"There's so much to do in California, there's a lot of cool stuff to see, plus it's always warm so we can swim" I said and that seemed to perk up his attitude seeing as it was winter here and it was freezing.

"I get to go swimming!?" He asked excitingly.

"Yes baby you get to go swimming!" I said just as excited as he was.

"So we're going to California?" My mom asked.

"We're going to California!" I said.

"Well I'm leaving for South Carolina tomorrow morning" my dad said.

"How are you going to get there?" My mother asked my dad.

"John's driving up now. He'll be here tonight. He's gonna crash here tonight then we're leaving first thing in the morning" my dad told us.

"Am I gonna get to see uncle John?" Niall asked.

"Yes baby. It'll be a few days before we leave" I told him.
