Overworked

Harry’s P.O.V
I sat up to see Maddie’s red hair splayed out on the pillow beside me and smiled. I was expecting her to be gone. I know she will go to work today but I’m happy that she hasn’t gone yet. She looks gorgeous asleep, completely natural, no make-up, normal hair. I’m so happy I can call her mine. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled looking up at me.
“Good morning baby,” She whispered, wiping her eyes.
“Morning gorgeous,” I leant down and kissed her forehead.
“You know I’ve got work today right?”
“Yeah I know, I’m sure you’ll be quick though so I don’t mind. It gives me a chance to spend time with the kids.” I smiled at her.
“Okay good,” She got her phone off of her nightstand. She looked at it and had a few texts. “Perrie says hi, and I’ve got to be at work in 30 minutes.” She told me.
“You better get ready then,” I replied, getting out of bed. She got out too and went into the bathroom. I heard the shower turn on and a few minutes later it turned off again. After about 10 minutes, Maddie emerged from the bathroom, make-up and hair done. She went into the closet and came out fully dressed. She sat at the dressing table, put her jewellery on and fixed her hair. Once she was happy with how she looked, she got up and grabbed her things.
“I’ll see you later, I love you,” She kissed me and went downstairs. I lay back in bed and then heard crying and barking. I got off of the bed and shoved on some sweatpants before going downstairs. Charlie was barking at the gate and I could hear the twins crying. I went into the kitchen and fed Charlie quickly and then went to see to the twins. I got down there and they were both sitting at the gates in the doorway of their bedrooms crying. I went to Freya first and picked her up over the gate. I opened the gate and went into her room to get her dressed. She cried the whole time I was getting her dressed until I put her dummy in and she started to calm down. I put her on the floor and she crawled to her puzzles. I went to Lia and picked her up over the gate before going in and doing exactly the same as I had done with Freya. Once they were both playing happily in their rooms, I went upstairs and started to warm up some formula milk, when they get tired and grouchy like this; it is the best thing for them. I took the two bottles downstairs and picked up Lia first. I sat on the couch in the playroom and lay her in my arms at the perfect point for feeding. I took her dummy out and replaced it with the bottle. She sucked on it and finished the whole bottle pretty quickly. I put her down on the floor and she stumbled towards the stairs. I thought nothing of it until I remembered I hadn’t shut the gate and turned to see her trying to get up the stairs. I ran over to her and picked her up, shutting the gate.
“No baby girl, not yet. You can’t climb stairs yet.” I put her back down. I fed Freya and took them both upstairs. I put them down in the living room and Adam came downstairs. “Hey,” I smiled at him as he walked in.
“Is Mum at work?”
“Yeah, she left about 20 minutes ago.” I told him, him nodding in response. He went into the kitchen and came back out with a glass of coke and sat down in front of the TV. I went over and took the coke from him. “I don’t think so. It’s 9am.” I went into the kitchen and put the glass in the fridge. Then I poured him a glass of water and gave it to him.
“I thought you were the fun one,” He rolled his eyes.
“Sorry mate, your mum will kill me.” I ruffled his hair and started to walk out of the room when I heard him make a whip sound. I turned around and just laughed at him. I walked out of the living room and into the kitchen to make breakfast. I called the kids down and they groaned because I had woken them up.
“It’s 9am…” Brooklyn complained coming into the kitchen.
“Yeah, time for you to be up!” I laughed at her.
“Is Mum here?”
“Nope, she’s at work but should be back at around 1.” I said and they nodded sitting down. I gave them their breakfast and they gladly ate it. Afterwards, they all disappeared upstairs to get dressed. When they were dressed they came downstairs and went out into the garden.
“Can we go onto the beach?” They asked and I agreed as long as they came back every half hour. They ran out and Freya and Amelia sat on the floor playing with their toys. I tidied everything up and the kids checked in with me like I told them. Maddie came back at around lunchtime and came up to Lis’ room when I was.
“Where are Brooklyn, Adam and Lis?” She asked.
“On the beach, they’re coming back every half hour to let me know they’re okay.” I said and she nodded and went up to our room presumably to sleep. She needs to sleep; she works herself wayyy too hard.
Maddie’s P.O.V
I woke up and went down to Harry and the children. They were all sitting around in the living room playing video games. I looked outside and it was chucking it down with rain. It’s rainy season… I sat down and watched the kids playing with Harry. Thunder boomed throughout the house and Freya looked up at me with wide eyes. I picked her and Lia up onto the couch next to me and held them in my arms. They’re gonna have to get used to this living in America but they’re only 20 months, or a year and 8 months, old. Lightning light up the living room and this time the kids stopped playing video games.
“I hate this country,” Adam muttered.
“Hey! I’m from this country.” I said and Harry bit his lip trying to contain a laugh.
“I know but there is always storms in summer and you can’t go outside because the rain is so painful and it’s boring. Why can’t we live in England again?” He complained.
“Because I’m sick of it. I lived there for over 10 years and I got bored so we’re living here. We’ll move back at some point just not now, okay?” I said and there was another boom of thunder. Adam nodded and they went back to playing their games. The storm finished about 10 minutes later and I put the twins back on the floor.
“I’ll go and put them to bed,” Harry said walking to the gate and opening it. They stumbled over to Harry and he took their hands guiding them down the stairs slowly.
