Overworked

Harry’s P.O.V
Waking up, I rolled over to find the bed empty. I sighed; I should at least be used to this by now, her leaving without saying goodbye. I got out of bed and went over to the dresser where there was a note.
Haz,
Had to go to the studio, don’t know what time I will be back, love you,
Maddie x
I got dressed and went downstairs, finding Lis watching TV.
“Morning sweetheart, do you want some breakfast?” I asked and she nodded, following me into the kitchen. I poured her a bowl of Lucky Charms and she sat at the table to eat them. I went down to the basement and the twins were playing with toys in their beds. “C’mon girlies, let’s go and get breakfast,” I opened both of the gates. They stumbled out of them and I picked them both up, walking upstairs. I put them down in their high chairs and gave them some cereal each. They fed themselves while I watched. It is amazing to see them doing things for themselves now. It seems like only last week when they were crying their eyes out for Maddie to feed them, or for their diapers to be changed, now, they can actually do things on their own. Of course, they still rely on Maddie and I for some things but so does Brooklyn, and she’s 11 years older than the twins. My phone started ringing and I looked at it, seeing it was Louis. “Hey mate! What’s up?” I answered.
“Hazza! I just felt like calling, how’s you and your lovely wife? Are you back in LA now?”
“We’re good, she’s at work but yeah, we’re back. We got back yesterday and she’s at work the next day, I swear she works way too much.”
“She probably does but try stopping her.” He joked.
“Exactly,”
“How’s everything going anyway?” He asked.
Maddie’s P.O.V
We had been writing for 3 hours when Harriet said I could leave. I thanked her and picked up my things, walking out of the studio. I got into my car and drove to the grocery store to get a few things before going home. I got home at around 2pm and Charlie ran to me as soon as I opened the door. He barked and I bent down to pet him quickly. He ran off again and I went into the kitchen with the groceries. No one was in there so I assume they’re out in the garden. I put the groceries away and went outside.
“Hey baby,” Harry smiled at me from the pool.
“Having fun there?” I laughed.
“Yeah I am actually, you want to come and join us?” He asked me. Adam and Melissa were also in the pool with him and I have no idea where Brooke or the twins are.
“Maybe, where’s Brooke?” I looked around the rest of the garden.
“I think she went downstairs to play with the twins. They got too hot out here so I took them down to the playroom.” He told me. I nodded and smiled, he’s a great dad.
“Well you have fun in the pool and I’m going to go and find them.” I said walking back inside. I went to the stairs leading to the basement and opened the gate stepping down the first stair. I shut the gate behind me and walked down the stairs, again opening and closing the gate. We literally have so many stair gates in this house, it’s unreal. They’re for both the twins and Charlie. Once I was in the playroom, I saw Brooklyn sitting cross legged on the floor with Freya on her lap. Amelia was playing with her dolls. “Hey princess,” I walked over to Brooklyn and kissed the top of her head. I did the same to the twins and sat down on the sofa.
“How was work?” Brooklyn looked up at me, still keeping a firm hold on Freya.
“It was okay, I’ve gotten another song written so just 5 to go.” I told her.
“What’s it called?”
“Memories,” I smiled, remembering the great song we wrote today. I think it’s going to be a hit. It’s a really cool song.
“It sounds really cool.” She smiled back at me. I sat down on the floor next to her and picked up Amelia. “Mum, can we call Amelia, Lia as a nickname?” Brooklyn asked.
“Of course we can, that’s a really nice name.” I said and she nodded. “Do you like that baby, Lia?” I looked down at Amelia and she clapped her hands. “Lia it is then honey.” I tickled her slightly. Freya was sitting on Brooklyn’s lap playing with a puzzle and Brooke was occasionally helping her out with it. I’m happy that she gets on with her brother and sisters, it makes me really happy. There’s nothing better than being a mum and seeing your children all play happily together, it’s one of the best feelings in the world. After a while, Freya had fallen asleep and Lia was getting sleepy. Brooklyn left and went upstairs to go in the pool with everyone else while I put the twins in their beds. I got up off of the floor and picked up Freya, taking her into her room. I changed her into her pyjamas and put her into her bed, kissing her gently. I walked out of her room and shut the gate, going to pick up Lia. I picked her up and she smiled at me. I took her into her room and changed her putting her into bed too. I kissed her head but she just kept holding her hands out every time I went to leave. I went and sat down next to her bed. “What’s wrong honey?” I asked.
“Dum, dum…” She whispered, wrapping her small arms around my neck.
“Okay, I’ll go and get it.” I took her arms away and went out of her room, shutting the gate. I went upstairs and looked around for her dummy but couldn’t find it. “Harry? Where’s Amelia’s dummy?” I called out into the garden.
“In the cupboard in the kitchen because she kept chucking it on the floor,” He replied.
“Have you sterilised it?”
“Yeah, it’s good to use.” He said. I thanked him and went to the cupboard where the baby cups are kept. The dummy was right at the front and I took it out and went down to Amelia. I gave it to her and she smiled, placing it into her mouth. I kissed her again and went back upstairs. Harry came inside drying his hair with a towel. “Sorted?”
“Yeah, they’re both asleep.”
“Well done Mummy,” He smiled, revealing his dimples.
“Thank you,” I laughed, hugging him. His wet hair brushed against my neck and made me shiver causing him to laugh.
“Sorry honey.” He pulled away and kissed me. I kissed back for a few seconds and we pulled away. “Brooklyn tells me you wrote a song called ‘Memories’ today,”
“Yeah I did, but you’re not allowed to hear it until the album comes out.” I tapped his nose.
“Or when you’re singing it around the house,” he chuckled.
“Yeah, or that,” I laughed. I went to the cupboard and got out a cereal bar, sitting down to eat it.
“So, how was work?” He asked.
“It was work. I need another song by tomorrow, same old same old really,” I shrugged.
“Do you want help?”
“I’ll be okay, I’m gonna go and write it now while the twins are asleep.” I replied and he nodded. I grabbed my guitar from the living room and went up to our room. I sat down on the bed and took my guitar out of its case grabbing my song book. I started randomly strumming on the guitar, trying to make a sound out of it. Eventually, it sounded at least decent and I chose a theme to create lyrics on.

Notes

This is quite short for me but enjoy!

Who ships Sophiam? Since when? I did before the wedding and everyone started to and if I had written this story later it would have been her and not Dani. Don't get me wrong, I still love Danielle but I don't ship Payzer anymore, I ship Sophiam.

^ Confusing note about ships.
