I woke up to a text from Taylor.

Tay: hey love when you get a chance could you go check on my mom?

Me: yeah no problem

Tay: thank you. Oliver says he misses you

Me: Tell him I miss him and his sisters too

With that I roll over and stare at the beautiful blonde haired boy sleeping peacefully.

“Hey” I nudge him

“Hmm”

“We should get up they’ll be moving papaw soon” I say

Niall opens one eye and stares at me

“Do I gotta get up mum?” he smiles

“I’m afraid so now get moving. I’d like to eat sometime today”

With the mention of food Niall is up in a flash and dressed before I am. We go downstairs where Tessa is making pancakes, eggs, bacon and toast.

“Geez Niall wanna slow down before you choke” Tessa says to him

“Oh sorry I was starving” he said

“You’re always starving” I giggled

When we are done eating breakfast we leave to go to the hospital. Papaw is the same, he’s in a coma and having involuntary hand movement.

“What time is papaw supposed to be moved?” I ask

My aunt went to talk to the doctor and find out what’s going on.

“Ok the hospice van will be here at one o’clock to get daddy and take him to the center” my aunt informs us

“You can leave if you want to and just meet us at hospice later” mamaw says

I give everyone a hug and Niall drives over to Kim’s house. We park the car and go to the front door.

**Knock, knock, knock**

Finally after knocking for a few moments; Kim answers the door.

“Cassie Niall so nice to see you, follow me to the sun porch and we can chat over some tea”

We follow Kim to the sun porch at the back of the house. When we walk through the threshold an eruption of “Surprise” fills the room. I look up to see that everyone is here; Taylor, Lou, Liam, Sophia, Zayn and Harry with the kids

“Oh my god you guys almost gave me a heart attack” Niall says dramatically

“How? When did you guys get in?” I ask

“We got in about ten last night. Mom let us crash here for the night. I was telling Harry about papaw and he said we all needed to come to support you…since none of us objected here we are” Taylor says

We sit and visit while the kids play outside. I tell them about what happened to Papaw and that now it’s only a matter of time before he passes away. We all go outside and play with the kids for a while before Niall and I go over to the hospice center. We decide to stay the night and Nate will stay tomorrow night because we don’t want him to be alone.

Me: Hey Tay Niall and I are going to stay the night here so can you keep an eye on the kids and make Harry help you

Tay: yeah no problem give him a hug and kiss and tell mamaw I’m thinking of her
Me: ok I will

The rest of the night went pretty well. Niall and I made a spot on the floor and fell asleep pretty fast after we laid down. Tomorrow is Nate's turn to stay so we’ll see how things go tomorrow.
