Okay first of all I would like to thank everyone who stayed with me for the last story, I appreciate all your time and reviews for a story I really really loved writing. :D
Second of all is that I have no idea where this sequal is heading, rather like I didn't for 'Lies' and look where that ended up...90 chapters. lol!
So enjoy this new story...If you have any title suggestions I am open to them. ;)
This story starts five months after the end of the last one.
"Hey little man" Harry grinned as he leant down and picked Edward off of the floor. The eleven month old was crawling towards his brother who was asleep on the play mat in the living room. Edward made a noise of protest as he was pulled into his fathers arms and Harry placed a kiss on his cheek as the young boy grinned cheekily. "You don't want to wake your brother, he gets grumpy when someone wakes him up too early" Harry checked behind him then turned back to the brown haired boy in his arms "Just like mummy, but don't tell her I told you that" he grinned
"Told him what?" Nikki asked as she walked into the room looking at her mobile phone in her hand.
"Nothing beautiful" Harry replied and leant down to kiss her and placed one hand on her seven month pregnant stomach just as the baby kicked out "She's lively today"
"He has been keeping me awake for the past few nights" Nikki replied and kissed Edward who held his arms out for her and grinned. "Come here then"
She took the grinning baby out Harry's arms and held him close and gave him another kiss on his chubby cheek, Harry's hand was still on her stomach and he smiled slightly when he once again felt the baby kick.

Nikki sighed for what seemed the thousandth time that night, the baby hadn't stopped moving for the last half an hour and she hadn't had any sleep. She reached down and rubbed her bump gently trying to get the baby to calm down when a sudden flash lit up the room. Nikki turned and looked at the window of the bedroom just as a rumble of thunder vibrated around the room. This woke Harry and he groaned and turned to his wife. He gave her a sleepy smile and reached out one hand and lay it on her stomach next to hers.
"Is the baby keeping you awake?" he whispered and Nikki nodded and turned the best she could and ran one hand through his hair. Another flash lit up the room and Harry lifted his head off of the pillow and looked around as the following clap of thunder rumbled. Harry leant over to kiss Nikki just as they heard the twins cry out.
"Go get them then" Nikki mumbled quietly and Harry saluted, causing Nikki to giggle as he climbed out of the bed. Even at their young age the twins, like most children, were terrified of storms and when Harry walked into the nursery he saw them sitting up sobbing, tears running down their faces.
Nikki looked round from where she had been staring at the lightning flashing through the curtains when Harry walked back into the room with the boys who were still sobbing quietly. He lay back down on the bed and put the twins under the duvet in the middle of them both.
"Hey" Nikki whispered to the twins and pulled them closer to her to comfort them, she still hated to see them crying and frightened and in her pregnancy this feeling had increased with the hormones. She planted a kiss on their foreheads as their sobs gradually subsided and they clung to their mother. When they had stopped crying the twins were wide awake and looking around the room. Both parents sighed, knowing they wouldn't be getting to sleep anytime soon. The baby kicked again and Graham, who was laying closest to Nikki and touching her stomach, looked down at her stomach with a confused look on his face that Nikki thought mirrored his fathers confused face perfectly. She giggled slightly and took her youngest son's hand in hers and gently placed it on her stomach as the baby kicked. Both boys had felt this before but they still grinned and giggled every time it happened and this time was no different. Graham's eyes lit up as he laughed and Harry smiled and ruffled his son's blonde hair lovingly. More thunder and lightning ripped through the sky and both boys tensed. Harry reached out and placed his hand gently on Edward's head and the boy settled down slightly and Harry and Nikki saw his eyes getting heavy. After a few minutes he was asleep but Graham was still awake. Nikki gently lifted him off of the bed and into her arms and held him close to her. After a few minutes in his mother's arms, Graham eventually drifted off to sleep and Nikki unsteadily sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up with a bit of trouble.
"You could have asked me to do it" Harry said quietly from behind her and Nikki turned to see him standing with Edward in his arms. She rolled her eyes and gave him a smile and a kiss.
"Stop worrying Harry, I'm fine"
"Sorry" Harry mumbled as he held the nursery door open for her "I just worry that's all"
"I think I'm quite capable of carrying my son to bed"
"I know" Harry nodded as he placed Edward in his cot and covered him with the blanket "But you're seven months pregnant and you heard the doctor, you shouldn't push yourself"
Nikki just gave him a smile and placed her hand on her stomach and held her other out to him. Harry took it and wrapped it in his own and lead her out of the nursery and into their own bedroom.
----------------
When Harry woke up at six thirty the next morning Nikki was still asleep with a small smile on her face and one hand on her stomach, the arm was hanging off of the bed. Harry left her to sleep, knowing that she had been getting exhausted very quickly. Knowing this, Harry had decided to ask Leo for the weekend off to help Nikki with the twins.
When he walked back into the bedroom he saw Nikki sitting up in bed with one of the crime novels Harry liked to pick holes in as he read it over her shoulder. She looked up when he walked in and gave him a smile.
"Good morning" he said as he leant down and gave her a kiss and placed his hand on her stomach and rubbed it gently.
"Morning" Nikki said cheerfully and put the book down on the bed next to her and wrapped both of her arms around his neck to pull him closer and give him a more passionate kiss. The baby kicked suddenly against his hand and Harry laughed and leant down to press a kiss on the bump.
"Good morning to you too"
Just a quick starter chapter, once again I have no idea where this story is headed so you'll just have to bear with me. ;)
