Baby Niall

Chappy 11

The Saturday sun radiated through the window, and a golden beam glistened on Niall's sleeping body. Where ever the light was, it was warm.

The heat woke Niall up subtly, and a string of gurgles erupted from his lungs. The sound went off in Liam's ear, lulling him awake. He sighed when he heard his baby happy.

Ηe got up, since no one else seemed to and he crept into Niall's room. Niall sat up, and smiled around his dummy.

"Good morning, babe," he cooed, picking him up. Niall mumbled something like,"Daytime, Daddy."

"You're right! And guess what? It looks perfect to go out and swim, doesn't it?" Liam asked, bouncing Niall on his hip. Niall clapped his hands together, making giddy squeals.

"Swim wif daddies?" Niall asked, a short pause between each of his words, and his head tilted to the left a little. Liam's heart melted at his adorableness.

"Yeah, love! Let's go wake Dada," Liam said, and they both travelled back to where Harry laid silently on his stomach.

Liam put Niall on the bed, and he went over to curl next to Harry. He laid his head next to the bush of curls, and sighed in content.

The soft puff of air made a wad of curls brush against his nose, and his eyes fluttered open.

"Swim wif Ni-Ni," Niall explained, sitting up and pointing to the window,"Sunny."

Harry chuckled, and glanced at Liam,"Let's get ready, then."

"Niall, love. Why don't you go wake mummy and Papa?" Liam said, kissing the blonde's head.

Like a race car, Niall zoomed down the hall and into the other couple's room. Louis was awake, his reading glasses handing on his nose and peeking into the morning news.

When the blonde's bubbly laughter filled the room, Louis looked over with a smile. He saw Niall, peeking over the edge of the bed.

"Momma it's time to swim!" he cheered, gripping the footboard and pulling himself up.

"Is it now? And who said that?" Louis asked, loving to talk with Niall.

"Daddy did," Niall answered simply, fiddling with a loose strand of Lou's shirt.

"Okay then, what Daddy says goes!" Louis cooed, kissing his baby on the cheek. Niall made an 'Ewe!' sound, and rubbed at the spot.

"Wake Papa up," Louis said, getting out from under the covers.

"Kay," Niall said, crawling over to the other side of the bed. Zayn was sound asleep, and Niall cuddled into his chest, saying,"Papaaaa."

Zayn let out a groan, not wanting to be up at this hour.

"Papa, Ni-Ni and Mommy and Daddy and Dada all go swim! Come with us!" Niall whispered, and Zayn was awake by now. He kept his eyes closed, and muttered,"Give Daddy a kiss, first."

"Then Daddy go swim?" Niall asked.

"Of course, babe," Zayn said.

Niall scorched closer, and pecked at Zayn's nose. That put a smile on the lad's face, and he opened his eyes.

"Good morning, babe," He cooed, wrapping his arms around the frail boy.

-

Everyone was ready, and they were finally slipping Niall's water wings over his sunscreen smothered arms.

"I swim now?" Niall asked, squirming around from being impatient.

Louis sighed,"I guess."

"Want to go in with Dada?" Harry asked, holding his hand out. Niall nodded, and took it.

They walked around to the steps, and Harry had Niall on his hip. They stepped in, and Niall began to squeal in delight. Liam was on the other side with his phone, videoing the whole thing.

"Ready?" Harry asked, and Niall had already leaped out of his arms. Paddling around, Niall had the biggest smile on his face.

-

Hours later, Zayn and Niall had made up a game. They each ran from the door to the pool and leaped as far as they could go.

"Ready?!" Niall asked, already reared up. Zayn did, too, and they both bolted for the pool. Zayn's splash was much bigger than Niall's but it was still just as fun.

The other lads watched from different spots. Liam and Harry in a chair on the other side of the pool, and Louis while laying on a raft in the pool.

"Alright babe, one more! Then we'll have lunch!" Louis said as the two boys jumped out again.

"Kay! One! Two! Three!" Niall bellowed, then everything went I slow motion.

Zayn took off, and Niall did too. But, Niall slipped on the wet cement and fell on his back, his head knocking on the ground as well.

It was just like -well- watching a baby cry. It took a few moments for him to process what had happened, and then he began to wail in pain. He was scooped up, and checked out.

"He's scraped his back, but nothing on his head," Harry said in relief, now knowing that he doesn't need to go to the hospital.

"Let's get him inside," Liam said, who had been there holding the hysteric boy.

"Shh, baby. It's okay!" Louis hushed soothingly, trying to get his screams to reduce.

Once inside, they laid him on his stomach, not really caring if the couch got wet. Zayn came running in, a guilty look on his face as he handed Liam a wet rag.

"Daddy's so sorry, baby," He cooed, his ow eyes watering a bit. Harry noticed, and went to console him.

"It wasn't your fault..." Harry said, kissing his cheek,"It could've happened with anyone."

Liam dabbed the scrapes, and that sent Niall over the moon. He wouldn't calm down, even when Louis repeatedly kissed his face.

"Baby please calm down... it'll be over soon," He pleaded, but Niall only answered with,"Niall hurts!"

"I know, baby... I know," Liam said,"But it's not bleeding anymore!"

"We need to wrap it, though," Harry added, leading Zayn into the kitchen with him,"I've got it."

He came back with a nice, soft wrap. Niall never removed his gaze from Louis'. They were having their own little silent conversation.

"You gotta sit up now, babe," Zayn said, ruffling his hair. It had gone silent, and Niall stopped crying. It wasn't really the pain that made Niall upset, it was the shock.

"M-Mkay, Papa," Niall sniffled, sitting up and facing the back of the couch.

"Lift your arms up?"

Niall did, and stayed silent while the cotton was cocooning him, his eyelids getting droopy. As soon as it was over, Niall reached for Zayn.

Zayn took his in his arms, cradling him gently. His hands went to his bottom half, and he kissed at Niall's hair.

"I love y-you, Papa," Niall hiccuped, and Louis added,"We all do."

Zayn smiled, and looked at the family he had created. He loved these boys with all of his heart.
