Our Dance.

Life has been crazy hectic. With Niall and I preparing for Erin, Niall’s shop opening, and Wesley starting kindergarten, it’s just been an extremely emotional and crazy month.
When it was time for the shower, we almost forgot. If Rachel hadn’t of text Niall the address for the location, we would have. So, we quickly pulled Wesley and Niall’s matching pink shirts from their closets and I ironed them- the best I could with my protruding stomach.
“Love, would you like me to help you with that?” he asked, making me smile.
“No, it’s fine. I’ve already done yours, I’m finishing Wesley’s now,” I said, making him wrap his arms around my waist as best he could.
“I can’t wait to have this little girl,” he said, resting his head on my shoulder.
“I’m just worried about having post-partum depression,” I said, making him kiss my neck.
“If you do, we’ll get through it- together.”
That was all I needed to hear.
The next morning, we got up at 9, I made breakfast while the boys watched cartoons, and then we all hopped in showers- Niall helped Wesley with his while I took one since I took the longest getting ready following my shower.
“I’m out, babe!” I yelled, as I stepped out in my robe and underwear.
Niall knocked on the door of our bedroom.
“I’ve got Wesley,” he called.
“Hold on! Let me slip my dress on really fast!” I said, running to the closet, and grabbing it before slipping it on.
“I’m ready,” I said, as I adjusted the underskirt so it will cover everything.
“That dress is pretty, Momma,” Wesley said, making me smile.
“Thanks, buddy,” I said.
Niall immediately went to get in the shower, while Wesley played with toys on our bed while I got ready. I dried my hair, and then curled it. Once I was done with my hair, I started on my makeup- which consisted on neutral eyeshadow, foundation, contouring, and a light pink lipstick.
“Babe, are you ready?” Niall asked as he appeared in his light pink shirt, jeans, and brown Chelsea boots.
I slipped Wesley’s matching Chelsea boots on- since he wanted to wear and do everything Niall did.
“Yep. We’re ready. Let’s go,” I said, getting off the bed with Niall’s help.
As we pulled up to the address Rachel sent us, we saw a huge yellow sign that said ‘Baby Shower for Baby Horan’ and people surrounded the doors like their life depended on it.
“No, absolutely not. Rachel knows that we are keeping the gender a secret. She insisted we all wear pink,” I said, making him sigh as I called Rachel.
“You better have a plan for getting all of these people gone and us keeping the gender a secret,” I said as soon as she answered.
“Crap. Sorry. I sent the wrong address. That is the cover up place. I’m sending the actual address right now,” she said.
Right on cue, Niall’s phone beeped with a new text message. He entered it into his phone and we left that location going to the other location.
As soon as we arrived, I gasped. Outside was a few signs that were pink. As you walked to the door, there was a much smaller sign that said ‘Baby Horan’s Baby Shower’ in pink.
As I walked in, I gasped as I noticed one of the people running around making sure everything was perfect. I immediately let Niall’s hand go and ran up to her, hugging her.
“My goodness, it’s been forever since we have actually hung out. The last time we talked you pushed me on stage to go sing with Niall,” I said.
She laughed.
“Now look at the two of you. You are expecting a baby and a wedding,” she said, making me smile.
“How in the world did you get here?” I asked.
“I’m actually a traveling nurse. I just so happened to be off for two weeks when Rach called me up and offered to fly me out here,” she said.
“When do you leave?” I asked.
“I leave in three days. My two weeks is almost over. This, unfortunately, is my last trip as a traveling nurse,” she said.
“And why is that?” I asked, knowing it was her dream.
“You aren’t the only one expecting a wedding,” she said, holding up her left hand.
We spent an hour talking and catching up, until I realized that I actually needed to converse with the other people who have attended my shower. So, I floated around and thanked everyone for coming.
Niall was super excited when he saw the gift table full of pink, especially when Rachel set up a background with two chairs right beside it.
It took Niall and I thirty minutes to open all of the presents- which consisted of nothing but clothes and diapers. The One Direction boys (Liam, Louis, and Harry) did something very different than everyone else. They spoiled the shit out of her. They got a pink stroller that can be a seat for when they get older, they can lay down like a royal baby, and it has a car seat with it. They also all got her three packs of Pampers- which is the expensive brand of diapers- which was all different sizes, and five onesies a piece.
Niall and I were thankful that the stroller was portable, because we would have not been able to fit everything had we not. Some of it had to go in Cooper and Rachel’s trunk as it was- but their car was full of mostly decorations.
“Hey, Sam!” I yelled, making her turn her head. “Here’s my number. Maybe you and I can catch up some more later before you leave.”
“That would be great! I’ll text you!” she said, continuing the walk to her car.
I never heard from Sam again, but that was okay. She was a good friend, always has been, but sometimes life just goes on and you lose contact with people. It’s just life. Wesley and Erin have something that will get them places they need to go- they have love.
As Brad Henry once said, “Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter.”

Notes

Hello, everyone!
We have one more chapter. :(
Everyone probably knows what's going to take place in that chapter. Good news is, I have it mostly written and then I have the epilogue sorta/ not really written.
I will post Wesley's Story probably the same day as I post the epilogue, but I'm not 100% sure on that- it depends on when I post the epilogue and what time of day/night.
Well, I love you guys!
