Chapter 18

~Not Edited~

Niall sat nervously at the clinic. Liam had taken the girls for ice cream so they wouldn't all have to sit there. Niall had said there wasn't a problem of him going by himself, because he wasn't pregnant and there was nothing to worry about.

That all changed when they'd called him back and showed him the foetus on the screen. He broke out crying and the nurse didn't know what to do, she was new there and she hadn't seen anyone cry that hard about not wanting a baby. "I can't... that isn't right." Niall cried. The nurse just printed out the scans for him.

"The father is still in the picture right?" she asked softly, laying a comforting hand on Niall's shoulder. Niall nodded and sniffled.

"Yeah. Yeah. He's got two daughters of his own." He sniffled.

"I'm sure he'd love to have a baby with you love. Don't get so upset."

"I can't have a baby now... I have to work and I have to live my life. I don't want to be a young father like he was-"

"You're a father to his daughters aren't you?"

"Yeah... but..."

"No buts, this is just going to add the strength to your relationship." she said and Niall nodded, still sniffling.

Liam had picked a teary eyed Niall up from the clinic within the hour and sniffled loudly. "NiNi? Something wrong?" Athena asked quietly. Liam just reach over and put a comforting hand on his thigh.

"Hey, it's okay." Liam whispered and Niall nodded.

"Maybe. but maybe it's not." Niall said softly. Liam didn't even have to see the scans to know that the visit told Niall exactly what he didn't want to hear.

"It'll be fine. We have the girls and we'll just have another."

"Liam what part do you not get. I don't want a baby of my own right now." Niall said and Liam sighed. He didn't want to argue in front of the girls, but Niall wasn't getting anywhere with his thoughts.

"Ni. baby, what part are you not getting? You're pregnant. We have to deal with it, because I'll be damned if you give up my baby." Liam said and gave him a look, a look Niall knew not to mess around with. Niall sighed and looked at Liam, tears in his eyes.

"But i'm scared Li..." He whispered and Persephone frowned, at least partly understanding what was going on.

"Sweetheart, we'll talk more when we get home alright?" Liam whispered to him once he noticed Persephone's little ears and eyes on them. Athena was just carelessly giggling and singing along to the song on (which happened to be the girls' favourite on Harry and Niall's album). Niall nodded.

-

Liam got the girls all tucked into the couch to watch a film as he took Niall back to talk to him in his room. "Baby..."

"I'm scared." Niall said and looked at him. "This... this will be a tiny baby... and I've never raised a little baby. Athena was just two and a half? Maybe three when I met you. You already had her raised. You had Persephone raised too."

"Darling, can you take a breath and slow down a bit. Please?" Liam smiled and sat down, pulling Niall by his hips closer to him. He looked up and pressed a kiss on his tummy. "I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. We're gunna raise a baby together. You know that yeah?" Liam asked softly and rubbed his thumbs along Niall's hips. Who's tears were subtly drying themselves up. "Can we call a girl Calliope? or Eris? (pronounced heiress) or maybe Khione? A boy we can call Ares? Caerus? or maybe Cronus?"

"baby you slow down. Can we pick a name i can actually pronounce well?" Niall chuckled, not exactly warming up to the idea of having a child, but Liam was just so excited and smiley. He loved it. "Eris and Ares. I can pronounce those pretty well."

"Would you give them my last name?" Liam asked, already falling into that dominating role again. Niall didn't mind. He wanted to be the "feminine" role at this point.

"Yeah, I would." Niall smiled. "So we'd have Persephone Marlus, Athena Nicole, Eris Elizabeth? or Ares Andrew? Ares Sebastien. I like Sebastien a lot better with that."

"I like Ares Sebastien, but Eris Elizabeth... not so much." Liam chuckled. "Maybe Eris Shae?" Liam suggested and Niall shrugged.

"We'll figure it out at one point... we have a while." Niall smiled and Liam pressed a few more kisses onto his tummy before he pulled back to wipe his cheeks.

"See baby, don't cry. It isn't that scary. I've got two beautiful daughters already and I think we're doing just fine with them." Niall sat down in Liam's lap and Liam held him as close as he could. "You're doing a great job being a daddy and you're gunna be fine."

"Okay... but Ed was a good dad to them too wasn't he?" Niall asked.

"Well... yes... technically... but he wasn't all that good to me." Liam said and brushed Niall's hair back. "We fought constantly when the girls weren't here and sometimes things got physical." Liam said softly. "So we said our goodbyes and went separate ways. He got his career and music and I'm here, still being a daddy."

"You're my daddy." Niall giggled, and Liam's cheeks lit up quicker than a Christmas tree. "what? I know you like it Liam. Stop getting embarrassed about it."

"I don't like it, what are you talking about?"

"I called you daddy last time you topped and you went harder and said 'how does daddy make you feel princess?'" Niall just gave him a look, like don't even try bro, you're busted. Which just caused Liam to get even more red than he was.

"Niall stop talking about that." He whined and Niall giggled pressing kisses to his lips.

"Don't be ashamed. Harry's boyfriend likes it too." and Liam just facepalmed.

-

Niall had spent the last hour catching up with Harry, and Harry would laugh so loudly you could hear Louis in the background asking if he was alright. Niall smiled, he missed his best friend. He just wanted to see him again, and rather soon if he could swing it. "Haz, I need to tell you something?"

"What is it lad?" Harry smiled and you could tell he was giggling at something Louis was doing.

"I uhm... I'm gunna be a dad." He said softly and Harry choked a bit.

"What!? Ni! That's great!" Harry laughed. "I wish Louis and I could have that..."

"You can can't you?"

"We could if both of our fertility counts were up. He's shooting blanks and I'm just not fertile enough to conceive."

"Harry Styles, what did I say about telling people that?" Louis whined.

"Sorry babe, it was important."

"I have to get going Haz, Athena needs help with the tree... can we meet for coffee before Christmas?" Niall asked and Harry chuckled.

"I guess so. Be safe. Love you."

"Love you too. Be safe nitwit."
