Life as Niall's Daughter

Niall Jr's first birthday

Angel's POV
My mom was in the hospital for three more days, before her, and the baby, were released. I still can't believe I'm an older sister again. My baby brother was born on August 10th, at 8:45 pm.

Liam wasn't called about it, though, until 9:30 pm, so that's why I wasn't able to see him the day he was born. I'm still happy I got to meet him the next day, and now I am helping my parents take care of him.

I couldn't help but notice, that he didn't cry as much, as Kaitlyn did. He was more calm, and hardly cried. I was so thankful for that. I honestly can't handle it, when babies cry.

I would text Joe throughout the day, as well, to keep him updated on everything that was going on. He was happy to know, that I was doing ok, and my parents were treating me right.

During the week days, I would do school work, and take care of Niall Jr, if my parents were busy, or just wanted to have some alone time. I honestly didn't mind it though. I enjoyed taking care of him. I even started calling him my baby, for as much as I took care of him.

On the weekends, I would just spend time with the baby, and when he took a nap, I would nap too. Which I liked, especially when he had his nights where he wouldn't sleep. Thankfully, it wasn't often.

When he was six months old, he started crawling, and really gained an appetite. He was wanting a bottle every thirty minutes, so our parents bought him some baby food, and some rice cereal to add to his bottle.

Then, two months later, he was trying to walk. I would help him walk, as much as I could, and by the time he turned one, he was standing on his own, and was trying to walk.

I decided to put a little birthday party together for Niall Jr's birthday. He didn't have any favorite things yet, so I just did a random theme for his birthday. I even asked our mom to get him a cupcake for his birthday, with a #1 candle.

Once everything was ready, I put him in his one birthday outfit, and took him to the front lounge, where I had everything set up. He had a smile on his face when he saw everything.

I doubt he understands what is going on, but I'm glad to see him smile. I put him in the booth, and sat next to him, then everyone gathered in here, and sang happy birthday to him. I even got to light the candle for him, then help him blow out the candle, when they were done singing.

I took the candle out of his cupcake, and he made a mess with it. He would try to pick it up by the frosting, and put it in his mouth. I just laughed at the way he ate it. It was so adorable.

When he finished his cupcake, I took him to the bathroom to wash him up. I ran him a bath, then undressed him and put in the tub. He instantly started splashing the water.

"Really Niall Jr?" I said to him jokingly. He just laughed, and splashed me.

"Hey, no slashing your big sis." I said to him, then I splashed him back. He just giggled, and kept splashing the water.

I let him enjoy the bath for a few minutes, before I washed him. When he was all clean, I took him out, dried him off, and dressed him.

Then, I picked him up, and took him to the living room, where we opened his presents, and played with any new toys he got. We played for a couple of hours, until it was bedtime.

We cleaned up the toys, and I had him choose a book for me to read to him. Then, he grabbed my hand, and we went to his bunk. I read him the book, and he started to fall asleep.

"Goodnight Niall Jr. I love you." I said quietly, then I kissed him on the forehead. I had to slowly sneak out of his bunk, so I wouldn't wake him. I put his book back where it goes, then got in my bunk, and went to bed.

The next morning, Niall work me up.
"Hey Angel, I have a question for you? I know you like One Direction, but if you had any other band you wanted to meet, who would it be?"

"Uh, why?" I asked so confused, and not quite awake enough for questions.

"I want to surprise you with someone you would really love." He said.

I had to think about it for a few minutes, cause I wasn't awake enough for this. But then, it finally came to me. I had one other band I really liked. I just hadn't told anyone, since One Direction was my most favorite.

"5 Seconds Of Summer!" I said a little too loud. Niall Jr woke up crying. I got up, and went to get him.

I picked him up, took him to my bunk, and held him. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." I said to him. I kissed his head, and shushed him gently. He went back to sleep in just a couple of minutes.

"You are such a great sister to him." Niall said to me.

"Thanks dad. I love my baby brother, but he seems more like my own baby, since I take care of him the most." I said, completely forgetting what we were talking about, before this.

"Yeah, sorry about making you take care of him the most. You're mom and I just wanted to have some time together. It's hard to, now that we have three kids." He said, with a little laugh.

"It's ok dad, I don't mind. Honestly. I love taking care of him." I said, with a smile on my face.

"Ok, well, I'll let you go back to sleep now, I love you Angel." He kissed my head, then walked away. I went back to sleep, with a smile on my face. I finally felt loved again.
