glitter angels//Luke&Lily oneshot
Disclaimer: so the original series of luke&lily is placed a few years (my mistake of doing that when introducing Posy) in the future but I use what’s happening now as inspiration for some oneshots. So I hope that doesn’t bother you too much😅 or we can just pretend it’s not a few years in the future and this whole paragraph is just pointless. Okay moving on. or just have them all be a couple years older? idk i'm not making sense sorry

The girls were ecstatic to watch Luke and their uncles film their new music video. With all of the 10 year anniversary hullabaloo, he hasn’t been home all that much with filming the podcast, rehearsing for the upcoming show on Youtube and planning the music video, it’s been a lot in a short amount of time.
Sometimes he’ll come home at about 3 in the morning and be dead asleep next to you before his head hits the pillow. More often than not when you wake up to Oliver crying or Posy calling for you to help her use the bathroom (potty training is a little tricky), Luke is still in his clothes with his shoes on.
You’d smile at his sleeping form and the cute way his lips are squished to his pillow and his super blond curls are falling freely over his forehead before yanking off his boots. He’d grunt which you took as a ‘thank you’, kiss his cheek, then help whoever was awake and needed you. Luke would spend a little bit of time in the mornings with the kids except Lily who was already at school.
Crystal would come over nearly everyday to spend time with you and Olly. She was wearing more comfy clothes now with it coming near the end of her second trimester. The babies are growing and she’s starting to feel it in her back.
“What’s on the agenda today?” you ask Luke while shaking some yogurt balls on the tray of Oliver’s high chair. Luke is looking sleepy in his robin’s egg blue t-shirt and grey sweatpants he surprisingly changed into when he got home last night. .
“More rehearsing,” he yawns then scoops Posy up from her booster seat attacking her with kisses until she’s giggling. “Morning, bug.”
“What about my good morning kiss?” you smirk.
“I’d never forget you, lovie,” he smiles then bends down when he’s next to you to give you a gentle kiss. “Good morning.”
“Morning,” you grin, pecking his lips once more. Oliver squeals and babbles behind you making you both laugh.
“And good morning to you, Olly-O.” Luke shifts behind you to his son with Posy hanging onto his neck and shirt for dear life as he bent over to kiss Olly’s head. “Good thing he’s sleeping through the night now.”
“Not exactly,” you chuckle, then move to the counter to finish cutting up the French toast and strawberries you made for Posy.
“He isn’t?”
“No, he wakes up around 5 then snoozes on and off. I think his teething is pretty bad,” your eyebrows shift together making a mental note to ask his doctor about that when you see her next week.
“How come I don’t hear him?” Luke frowns. He sets Posy down in her booster seat moving next to you to make some coffee.
“You’re very tired when you come home, babe,” you shrug, bringing Posy’s breakfast to her. “Don’t worry about it.”
“When he does cry, wake me up.”
“You need your sleep, Luke. It’s fine.” You rub at the back of Posy’s neck as she starts to eat her breakfast. Oliver is humming to himself while sucking on his yogurt balls.
“Lovie--”
“Nummy toast mama!” Posy exclaims, waving her fork in the air.
“Thanks Posy,” you giggle and pinch her cheek. You sense Luke’s still subdued and sure enough when you look over, he’s hunched over the countertop watching you, Posy and Oliver with his mug held tightly in his hands.
“Why so glum, sugarplum?” you wander over to him. You rest against his arm and shoulder with your arm wrapped around his back the best you can.
“I’ve barely been home for this last month and the only time I see Lily is when I kiss her goodnight but she’s already asleep. I don’t even hear our own son crying at night.”
“You’re working, Luke, this is your job. It’s no different from working a 9 to 5 or like other parents who work odd hours.”
“But I miss being with my family. I miss you,” he sighs then shifts his body so his back is against the counter. He holds you in his arms and you can smell the coffee wafting from his lips. You stroke his cheek, he shaved his beard down a little so it wasn’t as full but still a little soft. You begged him not to shave it completely off.
“I miss you, too, honey,” you smile. “This month has been crazy, but we’ve had one hell of a year besides this month and I know you love what you’re doing right now.”
“Would it be wrong of me to say I love you more?” he knocks his forehead to yours, his arms wrapping around your waist.
“No, but I wouldn’t repeat that to the boys,” you smile, hooking your hands behind his neck.
“I’ll tell them, I don’t give a shit,” he chuckles.
“Shh, don’t swear in front of Posy,” you hush. “She’ll repeat you like a bird.”
Luke gasps then stands up straight, his swift movement startles you and you stare up at him.
“Is Crystal coming over today or tomorrow?”
“Um, I’m not sure. She wanted to do some stuff around the house today so it’ll probably be tomorrow. Why?”
“You should all come to the video shoot tomorrow for the new song,” his eyes are shining with excitement.
“Are you serious?”
“Yeah. It’s going to be a fun one with confetti and glitter, like a big huge party. The girls will love it and they can run around on set. I know the guys miss the kids, too.”
“You don’t think they’ll mind?”
“I’ll run it by Andy and Ryan, they’re big behind the shoot but I’m sure they’ll be fine with it. Will you come?”
“How can I say no to this face?” you laugh squeezing his cheeks together and kissing his puckered out lips.

Lily and Posy were amazed by the expanse of the video set but especially with all of the colors. Lily ran into Luke as soon as she saw him, both of them having a thrilling reunion. He’s bent to the floor in his mustard yellow suit with her sitting on his knee as he listens to her. You can overhear her telling him how she and Roman found a caterpillar at recess and now have him in a jar to see if he’ll become a butterfly.
Crystal is holding Posy’s hand looking for Michael while you have Oliver on your hip. He had a rough night so his head is resting on your shoulder, you’re hoping he’ll fall asleep even with all the commotion that’s going to happen.
“Where Unca Ash, mama?” Posy asks.
“I don’t know, baby, I’m sure we’ll find him,” you smile down at her then glance up to Crystal. Her eyes are dark and she’s breathing heavily. “You need to sit down.”
“I’m all right,” Crystal shakes her head then presses her hand on her lower back.
You look around and find a leather couch near a food and drink table then tug her along. She sits down graciously with Posy climbing next to her.
“Better?”
“Much,” she sighs. “I’m not used to getting winded from standing.”
“You have two in there, if I were you I’d be laying down all the time,” you laugh as she rubs at her belly.
“I heard my favorite girl was here,” Ashton announces from behind.
“Unca Ash!” Posy scrambles off the couch and books it towards Ashton.
When she meets his embrace, he pretends she was so strong that he falls to the ground with her safely nestled in his arms.
“Oh! You’re so strong, little one. Are you lifting weights when you should be sleeping?” he asks exasperatedly.
“No,” she laughs.
“Are you sure?” he sits up so she’s on his lap.
Luke and Lily are still talking in their little area and you spot Calum and Michael coming out of a dressing room. Calum is in a plaid skirt that totally catches you off guard but only because of how good he looks in it.
“You’re drooling,” Calum teases and pretends to wipe drool off your chin. You jerk your head away.
“Am not, but you look really good in that, Cal. That’s not fair.”
“What’s not fair?” Luke asks standing next to you with Lily’s hands in his.
“Your wife was totally checking me out, mate,” Cal grins then bends down to Lily to say hello.
“I wasn’t!”
“You were,” Michael says, joining Crystal on the couch. She leans against him with her eyes closed and he’s rubbing her shoulder.
“All I said was that he looks really good in that skirt and it’s not fair that he does,” you sniff but your face is warm from the insinuation that you were checking him out.
“Maybe you should start wearing skirts, Luke,” Ashton laughs, who now has Posy sitting on his shoulders.
You huff at them all and look at Luke, he gives you a small smile because he knows you aren’t attracted to Calum by any means.
“That’s enough, guys. You do look good in the skirt Cal, almost too good. I may have the legs for it but not the thighs,” he barks out a laugh.
“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Calum grins.
“You’d look pretty in a skirt, dada,” Lily says quietly. All eyes turn to her who is now holding Calum’s hands and she’s swinging from side to side staring up at Luke.
“Thanks my sweet,” Luke smiles down sweetly at her.
“No fair, Lily’s sweetness made poking fun at Luke not so fun anymore,” Ashton sighs. “Come with me, little one, Unca Ash wants to show you something.”
“What are you showing her?” you peer at him curiously as he retreats to his drum kit in the shot.
“It’s a surprise,” he winks.
While you all waited for the set to be ready, lights in the right places and microphones hooked up correctly, Ashton and Posy were playing tricks on everyone. While Calum was bent against the wall looking at his phone that was charging, Ashton and Posy snuck up behind him and threw confetti all over his back.
Posy’s laughter echoed throughout the large space at the look on Calum’s face when he spun around.
“I’m gonna get you, Po!” Calum shouts and starts for her. She runs away with Ashton hot on her heels until they’re all chasing each other.
“And can you believe I’m the youngest?” Luke snickers watching the three of them run around.
“Yeah we should call you grandpa the rate you two are popping out kids,” Michael chortles. He gazes at Oliver lovingly as he sleeps on your chest. Crystal is passed out on Michael’s shoulder.
“Are the confetti guns going to be loud?” Lily asks, eying them as Andy and Ryan wheel them in.
“Uhh…”
“It’ll just be a loud pop,'' Luke assures her. “It won’t be like fireworks, sweets.”
Lily turns her head to you, her eyes asking you for double reassurance.
“They might make the ground shake a little but the pop won’t be that loud. It’ll be like the confetti poppers we have at New Year’s Eve.”
“Oh. Okay.”
“All right guys, we’re all set,” Andy says just as Ashton, Calum and Posy join you all, their chests heaving from running.
“Hi beautiful girls,” Sarah smiles at Posy and Lily.
The girls love Sarah, especially now that her hair is a bright blue. You have a feeling Posy will more than likely want to dye her hair a fun color once she’s older, you’re excited to see what color she’d like.
The girls join you on the couch (Crystal was awakened gently by Michael who looks a little more refreshed) so you can watch the guys perform. There’s a lot of different takes but in all of them, the guys are having a blast. Especially when the confetti and glitter guns go off. Calum’s dancing around with his bass and Luke and Michael are jamming out together.
Lily and Posy are dancing and Crystal makes sure to catch video of it since you still have Oliver sleeping on your chest. You can’t believe he’s sleeping through all of this but you’re thankful after the rough night he had.
When the video is finished after several hours, the girls are playing with the confetti and glitter by throwing it at Luke and their uncles. Crystal even gets down on the ground (with help from Michael and Calum) so she can make ‘glitter angels’ which Posy and Lily immediately join her.
Oliver is encircled in your legs smacking the shiny stuff in front of him and you laugh when some gets stuck on his face. He cries up at you because it won’t come off.
“You don’t like how it sticks to you, huh?” you laugh peeling each piece off carefully.
“Po and Ash got me,” Luke sits next to you. He’s discarded his suit jacket so he’s only in his tank top which showcases his broad shoulders very nicely. His face and chest is covered in glitter.
“Your hair is still perfect,” you smile. Oliver’s hands are outstretched towards his dad. “Do you want to go by daddy?”
“Hi Olly-O! How do you like the confetti, huh?” Luke asks, picking Oliver up and onto his lap.
“He doesn’t like it on his face,” you laugh watching Oliver reach for the glitter on Luke’s face.
“Apparently... he likes it on mah phase,” Luke mumbles around Oliver’s fingers that are now on his lips. You’re laughing at them then take out your phone to capture a video.
“Look mama!” Posy runs over to you and she’s covered head to toe in glitter.
“You’re a glitter princess,” you laugh.
“Auntie Crystal says we’re glitter angels!” Lily states proudly and stands in front of you next.
“You are angels,” you agree. “We’ll have to hose you down outside.”
“Mama needs some!”
“Posy, no--”
Your objection is cut off because Posy is too quick by pouring glitter and confetti over your head. Lily joins and then so does Luke who is shouting ‘cover mama in glitter!’
“No! No glitter!” you’re laughing but make no way to stop them. It’s been so long since you’ve all had a laugh like this so you’re going to enjoy this moment.
Sarah is walking around you all with her camera to her face until you’re all calmed down and covered in glitter. You can feel it in your shirt and bra. That’ll be fun to get out later.
“You got your mama good girls,” Sarah laughs. “Can I get a picture of all of you?”
Posy moves onto your lap while Lily sits on Luke’s leg right next to you. You’re all holding onto each other as Sarah snaps your photo, then Posy plops some glitter on Oliver’s head. You’re all laughing together and you can’t wait to see the photos Sarah got.
“Lils, Pose, you girls want some snacks?” Michael asks as he shoves half a hot dog in his mouth.
“Yeah!”
They run off to join him at the food table and make a plate with the help of Crystal.
“I’m glad you’re all here,” Luke rests his hand on your knee.
“Me too,” you place your hand on top of his. “I’m so proud of you, Luke.”
“For what?”
“For everything you’ve done in the last ten years, in our life and marriage. Your solo album. Everything. I’m so proud to be your wife.”
“That all dulls in comparison to the shine of my glitter angel wife,” he smiles.
You share a kiss under the spotlights and the ever shining array of glitter surrounding you.
