New life

What is this life?

Once Niall was dressed they all walked down, he got sat on a colourful play-mat with a lot of toys. He looked sceptical at the ground and then up at Louis who was still there watching him.

A sent of food spread around the house. Nialls stomach made a noice. He had so much on his mind that he forgot he was hungry.

"Someone's hungry yeah?" Louis said and crutched down. "The food is done in just a few minutes, so we should go wash our hands." He then continued and held his arms out as a sign for Niall to come closer.

Nialls only thought was food so he got in Louis arms and whent to was his hand. Louis helped him a bit. Rolling nialls arms up so they wouldn't get wet, and then helped him try his hands.

Niall was once again on Louis hip and they walked to the kitchen. Nialls stomach made another noise and then he got placed in a high chair.

"What the fuck is this!" Niall blurred out when he looked down at his chair. "Hey watch you language!" Harry snapped.

"B-but..." Niall was speechless. He really was a baby now. The boys looked at him, now with tears filling his eyes.

"Oh no baby don't cry, it's just to keep you safe." Liam said. He then sat on the chair and moved closer to his baby. "You're okey baby, you're okey." He patted nialls back as he saw how the tears started to run uncontrollably down his cheeks.

"Aww maybe someone's still tired, here you go baby" Zayn said and placed a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese in front of him.

"Open up bud, soup time" Liam said and took nialls spoon. It took a few tires before Niall gave in and opened his mouth.

The soup was soon eaten up and Liam tried to feed Niall the grilled cheese. But got no luck there. "Why you not eating it bud, don't you like it?" Liam asked. Niall shook his head.

It was a lie though. Niall loved it but his stomach didn't. It gave him the runs and he did not want that to happend when they kept him in nappies.

Everyone finished dinner and moved to the sofa to watch a movie. Niall was placed in between Harry and Louis. It was comfy and he felt safe.

"Right should I fix a bottle maybe, it's getting late" Harry said. "Yeah but remember no milk with lactose yeah" Zayn then said and stood up with Harry. Did they know? Niall thought. Then he remembered that the boys probably got his files, where everything about him stood.

"Yeah we don't want any tummy aches right babes" Liam said and moved Niall in to his lap.

"You're very quiet now baby, did something happen?" Liam said and looked at him. "No, I'm just a bit tired I guess" Niall said.

While they stayed on the sofa, Zayn and Harry got to the kitchen. "I'll fill the bottle with some of my oat milk and mix in some formula can you heat it up? I don't remember how hot it's supposed to be." Harry said. "Yeah sure, here let me show you." Zayn answered and showed how to use the bottle heater. "When it's done you carefully try it on your arm like this, and if you can barely feel it then it's perfect" Zayn said and they walked back to the others.

"A freshly made bottle for our cute baby" Zayn said and handed it to Liam. Niall was now snuggled up in Liams lap with a blanket. He looked so adorable.

"Nini before you fall asleep can you please drink this." Liam tried. Niall just looked up at him and scrunched his nose. "Please baby, it's very yummy and your tummy's gonna be filled all night" He then continued. After a few tries and holding his nose, Niall finally opened his mouth.

A few small sips were heard and then they became more regular. Liam looked down at Niall and saw how his eyes started drooping.

"I can officially say our baby is down, the bottle is almost finished too"Liam said. "Should I carry him up to bed?" He then asked.

"Yeah, but don't you need to burp him first?" Harry asked. "Umm I don't wanna wake him. Do you think we can skip it just this time? I mean he's not like a real baby yet." Liam said.

"I think he'll be fine, if he's not he'll wake us up and we can help him yeah." Zayn said. Liam then carefully walked with Niall on his hip up to the nursery. He checked if Niall was still dry. Not surprised when it still was. Then layed him down in the crib. Some mumbling and noises came from the younger boy, but after just a minute he was quiet again. Liam took it as a sign to turn the night light on and head down.

"Fast I see" Louis commented when Liam came down again. "Yeah, panicked for a second when I thought he woke up but I guess the boy was tired." Liam said.

They all sat down on the sofa again, now playing another movie. Everyone got so carried away, two movies had passed and the time was just a few minutes before one in the morning. A sound came from the baby monitor. Niall was twisting and turning in his sleep and let out a hurt whine.

"I'll go check on him, you guys can stay" Louis said and started walking up the stairs. When he entered the room, Niall was sat up in the crib with tears in his eyes.

"Hey bubba, why you still up?" Louis asked almost whispering. He saw how Niall had a tight grip around his stomach . Poor lad. "How're you doing? Is your tummy hurting you?" He then asked in a bit of a baby voice. Niall shyly nodded. "I think I know what might help babes, I think you got a lot of air in that belly after the bottle" he then said and moved closer to the crib. He picked Niall up, a small whine escaped the younger lads mouth. "Hey hey shhh it's okey, just gonna pat your back a bit, see if any air want to come out." And so he did, after a few patts two burps came up. Niall was ashamed that had worked. But he felt better.

"Feeling better baby?" Louis asked him. When Niall laid his head and nodded on Louis' shoulder he took it as a yes. He then laid the boy back down in his crib, gave him a goodnight kiss and walked down.

"Eyy best dad ever??" Zayn asked. "Maybe, well I got him to sleep again, his tummy was bothering him. Next time we need to burp him yeah. But I guess his alright now" Louis said

After that they called it a night and went to bed. They needed the energy for tomorrow and the next few days. Life with a baby could be a bit hectic.
