-December 19th-
"C'mon sweetie. Time to go." She nodded and slipped her coat on before walking over to me. I picked her up and held her tight. "I don't want you to fall on that ice." She nodded and put her arms around my neck. I slipped my purse on and walked out. I put her in the car and buckled her up. "I'll be right back. I need to lock my door." "Ok mummy." I walked off fairly quickly back to my room. Once I locked it, I joined her back outside and drove home. Then, "Half A Heart" came on. I got goosebumps when Louis came on. "I like this song. Who is it mummy?" "Your dad and uncles..." "Oh..." She grabbed my hand. "I miss them." "Me too..." I pulled into the driveway and saw a package at the door. We walked up to the front door. "C'mon sweetie." I grabbed the package and pulled her inside. Perrie greeted us at the door happily. Then, Niall walked in. I ran over and hugged him. Alyssa squealed and ran to hug him. He picked her up and held her close. "What are you doing here? I mean-" "I know what you mean. And a certain Louis sent me on a mission." "Oh really? What kind?" I asked, intrigued now. "Christmas. Open that package." I did so and found a list of directions. "Alyssa, it says your Christmas gifts are on your bed." She took off running. "It says mine are-wait, I don't know where this is." "That's what I'm here for. C'mon." "But Alyssa-" "Don't worry. She'll be fine." About that time I heard her squeal. "Uncle Harry!!!" My eyes got wide. I ran upstairs and entered her bedroom. I found the boys standing there. All but one. I ran to them and hugged them tight. Zayn was laughing as he hugged me. "What?" "If you're acting like this with us, I'd hate to see you w-" He got nudged hard by Harry. Harry pulled me into a hug. "Did you miss us?" "You have no idea." He smiled and kissed my head before letting go. Liam then attacked me in a big hug. "Emily!! Come on!!" I pulled away. "Bye guys!! I missed you so much!" "We missed you too! Bye!!" "Bye mummy!" "Bye sweetie." I ran off downstairs and joined Niall to get in the car. He started going down road after road, none of which were familiar to me. We soon pulled onto a back road that led into an open area. I noticed another car on top of the small hill. "Is that-?" He nodded. I took off running up the hill. As soon as I made it to the hill, I felt arms around me. I turned around and kissed him hard. "I missed you soo much babe." "I missed you too." I hugged him, my arms around his neck. I pulled back and kissed him again. We started making out and he soon picked me up and sat down on a blanket. He kept me in his lap as we kissed. "I don't want you to leave ever again." "Well, after May, you won't have to." "What do you mean?" "When I come back in May-" "No I get that part. Why won't I have to?" "Fiancés and wives get to come on tour." "But Lou-my job, and Alyssa being in school. She starts kindergarten next year." "You quit your job and she can get education while we're on tour. You could homeschool her." I nodded. "Alright." He held me close. "I don't want to leave your arms again...when do you leave?" "Tomorrow." I nodded sadly. "I love you so much." "I love you too Lou." We sat and talked for about an hour. "Maybe I should share my present with Alyssa." "I didn't even give you your present yet." "Babe, you're my present." He smiled and kissed me. "You didn't need to get me anything." "Yes I did." "No you didn't!" I said getting up and running around. He started chasing me and soon picked me up. "Yes I did." He said kissing me. I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I don't deserve you." "Babe, don't even go there." I smiled and laid my head on his chest.

I slipped under the covers and grabbed his hand. His arms wrapped around me. "Goodnight Boo." "Goodnight love." He kissed my forehead and fell asleep peacefully. I stared at him for a while. He's back. Not for long, but he's back.

I woke up to an empty bed. I found a note. "Sorry baby. I wish we could've visited for Christmas!! I love you very much. Have a good Christmas.
Love,
Louis Xx"
Was it a dream?? Perrie must've placed the note...
Beside the note was a bouquet of roses and a giant teddy bear. I grabbed the bear and hugged it tight. I heard his voice. "I love you babe!! Don't forget it!" It was a recordable gift. My bedroom door soon opened. "When will they be back?" "Not until May...5 months." She sighed. "I want Daddy." "I know, me too...sweetie, did you see your uncles yesterday??" "No...I wish." It was a dream. I called Louis. "Hey babe." "Hey Lou, did you put the bear in the room?" "No...I wish I could've. It was Perrie. I had her sneak in." "Oh alright." "Why?" "I had a dream last night and it was soo realistic, and I just knew you'd be there when I woke up..." "Awh, I'm sorry baby." "It's okay...it's okay..." "Is Alyssa there?" "Yeah, you wanna talk to her?" "Please." I handed the phone to Alyssa and went downstairs to make breakfast. I just knew it was real...
