Bound Pages (Dividing Lines Sequel)

Chapter 3 (Peggy's POV)

After the eventful day in the park, all of us headed to an ice cream shop and got cones for everyone.

“Mommy!  My ice cream is melting!”  Andrew squealed excitedly, running towards me.

“You have to lick around the edges, honey.”  I said, and cleaned up his sticky hands.  Carolyn got a scoop of vanilla in a bowl and was feeding some to little Lou, who ended up eating half of the bowl before falling asleep in his stroller.   By now the kids were sticky, cranky, and ready to go home.  I put Andrew in his car seat and he fell asleep on the ride home.  When we got home, I got him out, and placed him in bed.  An hour later Liam came home.

“Hey babe.”  He said, and kissed my forehead quickly and hanging his coat in the closet.

“How was Andrew today?”

“Fine.”

We sat down on the sofa after throwing PJ’s on, and put the first movie we liked on Netflix, Toy Story.  I paid some attention to the movie but Liam laughing while surfing through Twitter kept distracting me.  My phone was on the coffee table next to my feet, and I scooped it up, opening Twitter and making a new tweet.

@PeggyPayne: @Real_Liam_Payne quit laughing! You’re distracting me!!! Xx

My phone chimed back a minute later.

@Real_Liam_Payne: @PeggyPayne too bad!  Love you tho xx http://t.co/1w31f

He attached a picture of himself making a funny face, and I cracked up, setting my phone down.  Fans would go mental.  Later on #BeQuietLiam was trending.  I yawned, and headed up to be, Liam trailing straight behind me.  My head hit the pillow, and I was practically asleep.

The next morning the boys had off so they all piled into their cars and stayed over our house for the day.  Riane and Nathan were busy, with some very important information, they said.  That left the five couples.  Andrew was outside playing with all the kids while the boys watched them, and we girls were inside with the babies.  I looked over at Carolyn, who was giggling.  Little Lou had just learned to smile.  Jess was looking a little green, and very pregnant.

“Do you have any chocolate?  I swear I will become an axe murderer if I don’t get some chocolate.”  She said.  I got up and got her some from the kitchen.  She ate it in record time.

“Thanks.”  She said.

“Don’t mention it.”  I said, and laughed.  All of a sudden, the doorbell rand, and I quickly ran over to see who it was.  It was Louis. 

“Harry locked me out!”  He exclaimed.  I laughed, and let him back in.  Louis walked over to Carolyn.

“I can take him for a little bit.”  She seemed hesitant.

“Go have fun.”  He said.  Niall came in and did the same thing with Zoe.  The rest of the guys called us for dinner, and we grabbed plates of burgers and hot dogs.  I got a hotdog for Andrew and put some ketchup on it.  He sat with the other kids happily and all of us began to eat.

“Well done lads.”  Carolyn said.

“I approve.”    Jess and Katy weren’t too hungry. 

Afterword’s, when the food was gone, and Katy brought out her amazing cookies, did the kids begin to get tired.  Carolyn and Katy went to go change the babies.  After that, everyone started to head out, one family by one.  I must have fallen asleep on the ride home, because I remembered vaguely waking up and being carried out of the car and into the house by Liam.  He set me down on the bed, and I yawned.   I quickly made sure Andrew was asleep and threw on pajamas, falling asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow

I dreamed a lot of things, but I had a few dreams of my life before stardom, if that was what you could call what the girls and I have.  Those days when we were just fan girls, young and stupid and really obsessed with our future husbands.  Carolyn had even written two books about us marrying them!  And they came true!  I smiled to myself and buried, my face in the pillows, and Liam and falling asleep to the thought of a new day.
