Mafia Only Goes One Direction

Hello fam, it is Niall! How are ya? Good, I hope! When Jo kissed me at the ice cream parlor, I was so shocked. I honestly didn't expect it. Then at the park, some strange man was holding my crying darling. Jo is just a little guy, he needs strong people like his uncle NiNi to keep him safe.

I still can not believe that I was his first word. I bet it made Lou and Haz jealous. Anyways, back to the present time. I am feeding Jo the spaghetti I made. His little nose scrunched up at first, but he seemed to be content with the meal. Liam ate beside me and would feed me from time to time since my hands were occupied with Jo.

Liam is still getting use to Jo. I adapted quite quickly, so did Harry and Louis. Zayn is getting there slowly. I am going to have a talk with Liam about Jo later. Now is not the time. Jo has finally slipped off into headspace. He has this twinkle in his eyes. This means I need to go shopping for this Jo. The one who has the headspace of a one-year-old, maybe younger.

After I finished feeding Jo, I wiped his face and hands with a soft cloth. He seemed to be getting sleepy so I stood up and started walking around the kitchen while humming and rubbing his back. Liam cleaned up the dishes quietly. I have a secret.....I have a crush on Liam. Shhh, don't tell him.

Jo falls asleep decently fast. He is so adorable. I motion for Liam to follow me to the living room. He nods and makes his way there. "Okay, I want to talk to you about Jo," I say quietly. "Okay," Liam says, sitting down on the couch.

"Like I said before, he is like a little baby. He is fragile both emotionally and physically. Just think of him as a baby. It makes it a lot easier to take care of him. Now, I need to go to the store, can you watch him?" I ask.

"Yeah, I got this Ni. I have done my research. I think I know what I am doing. I just need to go, as some people call it, 'Daddy Direction' mode," he says, rubbing the back of his neck, making me laugh a little. "Okay, I am trusting you with my baby boy. I shouldn't be too long, I only need a couple things," I say, handing Jo over to Liam.

He holds him tight and bounces him lightly. I wish we could have kids together, he would be such a great dad. "I'll be back soon, call if you need anything," I say, grabbing my keys and bag. It is a man's purse Okay, so what if it has pretty pink and purple flowers on it.

"Okay. See you later," Liam says, walking over to the couch with Jo. I head to my car and leave. Once I reach the store, I go to the baby section. I pull out my list and start shopping.

Surprise, it is Liam. Jo is sleeping currently. He keeps whining. I am not sure why, maybe a bad dream. Niall just left, I wish he could have stayed. I love being around his smile. Jo makes him smile a lot. I have been crushing on Niall since we met.

I try not to make it too obvious. I was hoping it would be just me and him tonight, but Niall had to have Jo over. I can't be mad at the little dude though, he is so adorable and sweet.

I snap out of my thoughts when Jo starts crying. "Shhh, it's okay. Li is here. What's wrong bud?" I have no clue what to do. He keeps crying so I start to pace around the room and pat his back. I look at the clock and realize that I was zoned out for about half an hour. When will Niall get back? I am about to call him when he walks in the door.

"Aww, is my baby crying. What's wrong honey?" He cues while taking Jo out of my arms. Jo babbles through sobs, which is kind of cute. "Your tummy hurts? It's okay, I'll make it feel all better," Niall says. Wait, he understood all the babbling? Damn, he is like a little whisperer.

"Hey Li, can you get the rest of the bags from my car?" He asks. "Sure Ni," I respond. I go and get the bags, when I come back, Jo is asleep once again. "Magic got to be," I say. "I bought some medicine for him, I knew a tummyache was coming," he says, rocking Jo in his arms.

"He's a cute little fella, isn't he," I say, as I start to put away the things Niall bought. "Yeah, too bad Harry and Lou already claimed him," he responds. I feel happy and relieved around him. I need to confess my love to him. Now is the time.

"Hey, Ni, can I tell you something?" I ask. "Sure Li, what's on your mind," Niall says softly. "I...I love you. More than a friend or a bandmate. I truly love you, like I want to date you," I say, my heart pounding. I look down at the ground, starting to doubt myself.

"I love you too," Niall says under his breath. I look up at him and he looks serious. "Would you be my boyfriend?" I ask. He doesn't say anything, he just leans in. Then we kiss. A kiss so passionate and full of love. We pull away, only when Jo starts to whine. Niall laughs lightly, as do I.

"I better lay him down, we should go to bed too. Come on, you can sleep in my room tonight," Niall says. We go to his room and lie down. Jo lays between us. I smile when I see that Niall has fallen asleep. I close my eyes and let sleep engulf me.
