Putting Together the Puzzle: A Dark Niall Horan FanFiction

The End

*4 YEARS LATER*

*CHARLIE'S P.O.V.*

"We bought a house." I sigh as Niall drapes his arm over my shoulder and I intertwine my fingers with his. We stand in the den admiring the spacious room. "I mean holy shit Niall."

"This has been a long time coming." Niall leans against me.

"It's good to be back in Iowa." I shrug. "And I didn't think I would ever say that."

"This is the last box." Zayn slams a box on the floor in the corner. "Please don't ever move again."

"Zayn what the hell are you doing?!" Iris whispers angrily at Zayn. "Louis and I just got the baby to sleep."

"Can I hold little baby Evelyn?" Zayn gives her the puppy dog eyes.

"No." She narrows her eyes at him. "Every time you hold her, she starts crying."

"That's not-! Okay yeah you are right." Zayn rolls his eyes.

"So I'm giving her back to her mom." Iris walks over to me and I take Evelyn.

"She is so precious." Iris smiles. "Her and Sam are going to have babies of there own when they get old."

"Any child of Louis is not dating my daughter." Niall scuffs. "I'm going to go put Evelyn down."

He carefully takes the small girl from my arms, and disappears upstairs. I smile at how careful and gentle he is with her.

"Where are Sam and Louis by the way?" I ask opening a box labeled blankets.

"They both fell asleep in the car." Iris nods. "So I should probably be getting them home. If you need anything just call okay?"

"Yeah for sure." I smile, giving her a hug. "Thanks so much for helping out today."

"Zayn you coming?" Iris ask as she walks out the door.

"Yeah." He pouts. "While I'm gone try to convince Eve that I'm better then Harry."

"I'll try but she loves to play with his hair." I laugh.

"I knew I shouldn't of cut my hair." Zayn mumbles as he shuts the door behind him.

"She won't let go of me." Niall comes back downstairs with Evelyn in his arms. "She is so cute and little and she won't let go of me."

Niall weaves through the boxes and carefully sits down on the couch, Evelyn's small body resting on his chest.

"Where's my phone?" I rush around the room, spotting my phone and pulling up the camera.

"What are you doing?" Niall whispers.

"I'm taking a picture of you two." I smirk. "This is so cute."

"Charlie we have only been home of a few weeks and you are already being that mom."

"I just want Eve to see all these moments when she is older."

"She looks like you ya know." Niall stares down at Evelyn. "She has the same little freckle by her eye like you do. I didn't think that was possible but she does."

"Niall look at us." I sigh. "We have a house and we have Evelyn. We have come so far."

"I think we are pretty cute." He nods. "We were hot before but now we have a baby, which makes us cute."

"Well as cute as you two look you are going to have to put her in the crib."

"Awe but why?" He pouts.

"Because we need to get some rest. We have spent the whole day moving in."

Niall gets up, holding Evelyn as he takes her upstairs. I follow closely behind, following him into the nursery.

"Well I guess it's good we have one room unpacked." Niall says as he put Evelyn down.

"We still have the whole house to go." I pull Niall out of the room into the master bedroom. I plop down on the bed, letting out a heavy sigh.

"Well for the next few days you can relax with Eve and I will finish the unpacking." Niall lays down next to me.

"I can't let you do that!" I turn over to look at Niall. "This house is big. I'm not going to let you do it all on your own."

"You're right." Niall puts his arms around my waist, pulling me close. "I'll have the guys come over."

"You are the sweetest." I smirk, giving him a small kiss. "Now can we please sleep?"

"Yes, yes we can." Niall pulls the covers over us and reaches over to turn off the lamp.

Not even a minute after I shut my eyes, Evelyn starts to cry.

"We were so close." I groan.

"I got it, you just sleep okay." Niall quickly gets out of bed to get Eve.

"Niall." I say and he stops, turning to me.

"Yeah?"

"I love you, and I just want you to know you are a great father."

"I love you Charlie."

Niall disappears into the other room and I listen closely.

"Hey hey." I faintly hear Niall as the crying dies down. "See Eve you gotta sleep because your mom needs to sleep and I would like to sleep with her if that's okay with you."

I can't help but grin as he continues to talk.

"She is a great mom you know? She loves you to the moon and back." There is a slight pause. "I'm never going to let you get hurt and I'm never going to let your mom get hurt. You are my girls and I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you. But you don't know what I am saying right now, partly because you are a baby and partly because you are sleeping." There is another pause. "So please stay asleep this time. I love you."

A few seconds later Niall comes back inside, laying down next to me.

"I know you were listening." Niall tells me.

"You are so cute." I say all giddy. "She is going to be daddy's girl."

"I know I am adorable now go to bed." Niall pulls up the sheets.

"Fine." I groan, rolling over.

Niall scoots over and rests his head on my shoulder. "I love you."

"I love you more."
