Life After Role Play

The plane ride was long, but we made it to Washington D.C National Airport with only two melt downs!
“Mommy hold me” Sophie said as we were getting off the plane.
“I can’t baby, I have to hold Henry. But you hold my hand okay lovie?” I said with a smile on my face.
She nodded and took my hand. I thanked the flight attendant before making my way out of the plane.
Caroline was holding Gracie, who was quietly crying, since I had to wake her up from her nap.
Henry was laying his blonde hair on my shoulder and clenching on tightly to my shirt.
Soph was squeezing my hand, and looking around.
Harry had rented a car for us, so Caroline and I made our way to the car rentals. We were noticed a lot, but people were polite enough to take pictures from a distance.
Once we got the keys to the Range Rover, we were told that security had already gotten our bags and brought them to the hotel.
Caroline and I piled all the kids into the Range Rover, that had car seats in it, and drove to the hotel.
“Caroline can you text Harry from my phone and let him know that we are pulling up soon?” I said,
We drove away from the airport when Sophie spoke up, “Mommy we see Uncle Ni and Uncle Li and Uncle Lou too right?” she said,
“Of course! They are all waiting for us to get there! And daddy has a show tonight that you and me will go to!” I said,
“Oh Caroline that reminds me, the boys have a show tonight, and i’m a little hesitant to bring Gracie and Henry so I was wondering if you could hang out at the hotel and watch them? They should just go to sleep which would be easy for you!” I said,
“Yah that sounds great!” Caroline said,
I nodded and turned on the song Drag Me Down, one of Sophie’s favorites. She quietly hummed.
I smiled to myself as I heard her try to talk to her baby brother.
“Henry this is daddy’s part” she would say right before Harry would have his solo in the song.
“Alright we are here!” I said, pulling into a spot in the parking garage.
“Caroline grab my purse and the diaper bag, i’ll get the kids” I said,
“Alrighty, Soph grab your backpack, and wait right here for me while I get your siblings okay?” I said,
She nodded before leaning against the car, waiting patiently for Caroline and I to get the kiddos.
Both Gracie and Henry were sleepy, and had pacifiers in their mouths. I set them each on one of my hips before shutting and locking the doors to the car.
“Soph hold Caroline's hand” I said, and watched as she stuck out her hand to Caroline.
We checked in at the front desk, seeing the hundreds of fans outside of the front door. They were all screaming my name and the kids names, obviously freaking them out quite a bit.
We finally made it to the elevator.
“Soph hit the buttons that says 11” I said, Caroline showing her where it was.
The doors closed, and I was trying to hold in my excitement as we were going to see Harry in a few minutes.
We got out of the elevator, both Gracie and Henry laying on my shoulder while Sophie was jumping around excited to see her daddy.
She knocked on the door only for it to be opened in seconds by my favorite brown headed curly boy.
“Soph!” he said and bent down to pick her up.
“DADDY” she yelled, so loud I thought that the fans outside the hotel could hear her!
He spun her around peppering her in kisses.
He set her on his hip, before motioning for us all to come inside.
“Hi my love” he said, walking over to me and giving me a big kiss on the lips.
“You two have gotten so big” he said, poking Gracie’s side causing her to laugh.
“Da Da” Henry said and reached his tiny arms out to his daddy.
Harry took his son into his arms before giving him a big kiss on his cheek.
“Caroline how are you doing?” Harry said politely,
“I’m well thank you” she said shyly.
Gracie reached out towards Harry who was already holding Sophie and Henry. Somehow he took her too where she held on to him like a baby koala. I snapped a pick of my adorable family and immediately posted it to twitter.
“Alright babe the boys are already at the venue, we have a show in about four hours” he said as Sophie slid down out of his arms, softly landing on her feet.
She walked over to where I was and wrapped her arms around my leg and standing on my feet.
“Okay, Soph is gonna come with us but i’m leaving Gracie and Henry here with Caroline” I said, playing with Sophie’s hands.
Harry made a face at the twins before nodding his head.
“Let’s get going then, I have soundcheck soon” he said quietly while continuing to make faces at Gracie.
She would laugh and smile at her daddy like he was the funniest thing in the world. It made my heart swell up.
Harry walked over to the couch to set down the twins while I picked Sophie up setting her down next to them. I turned the TV to some kid show.
“Haz I might hang out here with them for a little bit, see if they wanna take a nap or something. I might grab some food for Soph on the way to the arena.” I said following him into the master bedroom.
He turned around an unexpectedly pressed his chapped lips against mine. I wrapped my arms around his head my hands playing in his hair, while his hands traveled up and down my back.
“I’ve missed you so much” he said in between kisses.
Finally I pulled away with one last kiss.
“I can guarantee that i’ve missed you more” I said with a huge smile,
“Not possible.” he said
Harry kissed me again before stepping back.
“I need to head to the arena. Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?” he said with a pout on his face.
I pecked his lips before responding, “I’m just gonna stay with Caroline and make sure she can get the twins down. Do you want to take Soph with you?” I said, knowing Sophie would not want to take a nap right now.
His eyes lit up before nodding his head.
Sophie and Harry were attached by the hip when they were together. That’s not to say he doesn’t love Gracie and Henry, because he obviosly does. I think it’s just something about Sophie being the first born.
I walked out of our hotel room and into the living room where Caroline was playing with Gracie and Henry. Sophie was sat on the couch playing on her ipad.
Harry walked over to her, set her ipad down, and lifted her tiny frame into his arms.
“Do you want to go to the stadium with me? Mommy will come later, but you can come early and play with Auntie Lou and your Uncles!” Harry said,
“Yay Uncle Ni” she said, causing Harry and I to grin.
Sophie laid her head down on Harry’s shoulder, while I ran back into our hotel room to grab a coat for Sophie and her head phones so that the concert wasn’t too loud.
I gave her a kiss on the cheek, and pecked my husbands lips before they waved goodbye and headed out the door.
“Alright Caroline, let’s get some food in these two, and see if they will go to sleep!” I said lifting Henry into my arms.
I set him down in one of the high chairs before grabbing some of the snacks I had packed in my diaper bag.
Gracie and Henry both ate up everything on their tray until they were screaming “all done”.
Caroline helped me change their diapers, and put them down. Once they were asleep I went into the bathroom to straighten my hair, and take my hat off. I reapplied my makeup and deodorant before grabbing my Tory Burch purse and heading out the door.
I drove in silence to the arena, noticing that the traffic was horrible.
I finally made it to backstage, showing the security guard my VIP pass. I walked back into the room that said “dressing room” and slung the door open.
Immediately Sophie noticed me and ran over to where I was. “Mommy mommy” she yelled crashing into my legs.
I smiled and chatted with her until I felt two arms wrap around my neck. I turned around only to be greeted by my favorite Irishman.
“Nialler! I’ve missed you so much” I said embracing him in a warm hug.
“You too las! It’s been t’long!” he said into my shoulder.
I hugged the rest of the boys before making my way over to Lou Teasdale who was currently trying to deal with the mane ontop of my husbands head.
“Hi babe” Harry said, as I took a seat in the chair beside him.
Lou and Lottie, Louis’s sister, were spraying hair spray, and styling Harry’s hair as best as they could.
“Daddy can I sit with you?” Sophie asked politely,
“Of course” Harry said, reaching his arms out to pull Sophie into his lap.
As Lou continued to style Harry’s hair, Harry looked down at his phone, while Sophie stared at him, watching his every move.
It was obvious that she’d missed her dad, and I was so glad that we had flown out here for her to see him.
“Did the twins get down alright?” Harry asked me, while Sophie started to drift asleep in his arms.
“Yes, Caroline texted me and said everything was fine, and that they went to sleep perfectly.” I said,
He smiled, when Sophie adjusted herself in Harry’s lap, curling her head into his shoulder, and grabbing his hand into hers.
I snapped a quick picture of my two, and quickly posted it to twitter.
“So whats the plan for the next couple of days?” Harry asked,

“Well, tomorrow morning we fly to North Carolina, and will stay at Lilly's house (my sister). And then you all have a show in Charlotte, and I guess the boys will fly home and you will stay with us, so we can do a family Christmas with my family, and then we will head home for the holidays.”
“Sounds like a plan. My mum and Robin are flying to LA for New Years, and they said that we could go out and they would watch the kids” he said with a smirk,
I giggled at my cheeky husband.
“Alright salt, all done” Lou said,
“Thank you Louiii” Harry said, smiling at her.
He stood up from his position, holding Sophie close to him. Her head was rested on his shoulder and her hand was now fisted in his tshirt.
