"Good morning Darius" Nikki grinned as she picked up her youngest son, it was October 10th meaning it was the young boy's first birthday.
"Mama" he reached up and Nikki planted a kiss on his cheek.
"Come on you" Nikki said as she walked out of Darius' room and to her own where Harry was still in bed "Shall we go and see daddy?"
"Daddy" Darius said loudly as he spotted Harry laying in bed with a book in his hands. Harry put the book back on the bedside table when he saw his wife and son and a grin spread over his face. Nikki sat herself back on the bed and covered herself with the duvet before placing the one year old on the bed between her and her husband. Harry ruffled his sons' hair before leaning over and kissing Nikki on the lips.
"Morning" he said as he did so and he pulled back and gave her a smile "How are you feeling?"
"Tired" Nikki mumbled and placed her hand on her stomach "It's not very comfortable having all this extra weight"
"I suppose it's not" Harry shook his head then Nikki looked down at her son and sighed
"I cant believe he's one already"
Harry nodded and reached out to ruffle Darius' hair.
"Shall we go and get the twins up?"
-----
Sam and Leo arrived at Harry and Nikki's house at seven that evening after finishing their shift at work. After giving Darius their presents and giving him his birthday cake they then stayed for two and a half hours before Nikki started to get tired. Half an hour after Sam and Leo had left the boys had had their baths and Edward and Graham were already in bed and asleep. Nikki was currently in Darius' room holding the one year old in her arms trying to get him to sleep. The young boy yawned and placed his head on Nikki's shoulder and closed his eyes. His grip on Nikki's bed shirt loosened slightly as he fell asleep and Nikki placed a gentle kiss onto his forehead before laying him down and covering him up. Leaving the door open slightly Nikki then walked into her bedroom where Harry was still getting ready for bed.
"Darius asleep?"
Nikki nodded as she walked over to the bed and climbed in, laying down she pulled the duvet further up her body and yawned. She felt Harry climb into bed next to her and then wrap one arm around her from behind and pull her closer. Harry then went to kiss her on the cheek but Nikki turned her head so the kiss landed on her lips. She smiled into the kiss as she reached up and ran one hand through her husband's hair and brought the other up to the back of his neck to pull her closer. Harry pulled away and Nikki yawned suddenly.
"Do I bore you?" Harry joked and Nikki blushed slightly and shook her head
"No, I'm just tired"
"I know" Harry whispered as he gently kissed her again "You go to sleep"
Nikki sighed contentedly as she turned slightly and moved closer to Harry who reached up and ran his hand over her hair until her breathing evened out and she fell asleep. Harry then placed another kiss on her hair before laying down and closing his eyes.

"Mama when baby come?" Edward asked the next morning when they were all in the kitchen eating breakfast.
"In January" Nikki replied as she took her son's empty bowl away from him and placed it in the sink ready to wash up.
"Janwary?" Graham enquired and Nikki nodded and held up three fingers
"Three months"
"Fwee?" Graham said and Harry ruffled his hair as he walked past.
"That's right son" he said as he wiped Darius' dirty face with a flannel and the young boy laughed causing Harry to grin slightly and press a kiss onto his forehead "Then we get your little sister"
"Or brother" Nikki added quickly and Harry glanced up at her and nodded a grin spreading over his face.
"Feel baby mummy?" Edward asked as he reached over and tried to place his hand on Nikki's stomach but was just out of reach. Nikki moved forward slightly and placed her son's hand on her stomach where she had felt the baby kick earlier. As if knowing that it's oldest brother wanted to feel something the baby kicked out suddenly and Edward burst out laughing.
"Daddy no work" Graham said as Harry picked up his coat from the back of the chair and pulled it on "Daddy no go"
"Daddy has to work" Harry shook his head and leant down to place a kiss on Graham's forehead "I'll see you tonight"
He then walked over to Nikki and kissed her thoroughly on the lips causing her to moan quietly. When he pulled back Harry leant his forehead on hers and gave her another quick kiss.
"I love you"
"I love you" Nikki replied as Harry moved away and said goodbye to his sons "Have a good day"
"You too" Harry called back as he walked through the living room and into the hallway before walking out of the house.
"Mama up" Darius said as Nikki helped both Edward and Graham to the floor where they ran into the living room to play. Nikki groaned slightly when she picked her youngest son up and placed him on her hip being careful of her stomach, she placed a kiss onto his cheek before following her twins into the living room.
