Bumps in the Road: A Living with One Direction Sequel

Like the first time

Harry's POV

We hadn't really done much today so tonight we decided to have a movie night! We had been watching movies for hours and everyone was starting to drift off to sleep. Suddenly, I was awoken by the sound of screams! The other boys were also awoken by these sounds and we all immediately knew they came from Gracie.

"Gracie girl, wake up." I said, gently shaking her.

Her eyes quickly shot open, tears running down her face. Niall pulled her on to his lap, her face leaning on his chest. It was clear she had one of her nightmares, that wasn't unusual a few years back, but Gracie hadn't had a nightmare like this since she was 12. Gracie's tears slowed down, her face looked more shocked and confused.

"What happened bub?" Zayn asked her, softly. 

Gracie simply took her head, getting off Niall's lap and heading upstairs. I was worried, I know our girl is strong, but I also know she has a lot of pain. 

"Should we go upstairs or give her a minute?" Niall asked.

"I'm going to go talk to her." Louis announced, already standing up.

I nodded and stood up to go with him. The other boys stayed so we didn't intimidate her.

Zayn's POV

I was worried, I was used to Gracie having nightmares a few years back but with all this baby and Milo stuff, I'm not so sure anymore. Gigi was already almost 6 months; it feels like just yesterday she told us she was pregnant!

"Do you think it was about the whole baby thing or her parents, like they used to be?" Liam asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I don't know, her face looked the exact same as it did when she was 10, having nightmares about her parents." I pointed out.

"I think it was just like her old ones, only difference is it's caused by stress of Milo that dick." Niall explained.

What he said made sense. I didn't doubt for one second that Gracie wasn't going to love her baby, but of course she was going to be nervous. Any first-time mum would be, adding on the fact she's only 15. I picked up my phone, unsure of what the time was. I was shocked to see it was 4:47 a.m. Harry and Louis had been gone for about 10 minutes already. A few seconds later, Louis came back down the stairs. 

"Is she ok?" Niall asked, worried.

"She's fine, she's asleep in Harry's lap." Louis reassured us.

I let out a sigh of relief, knowing our girl was ok.

"I'm worried about her though, her nightmare was about her parents again." Louis told us.

"The baby/Milo stress must be bringing up all her stress." Liam said, sadly.

We all decided to head to bed now that Gracie was ok and asleep. I was about to head to my room when I stopped. I quietly opened the door to Gracie's room. Harry was sitting up, leaning on the bedhead with Gracie asleep on his lap, head on his chest. I sat down on the bed next to Harry, holding Gracie's hand in mind. I heard the door open again and saw Liam creep in. He smiled at me and sat on the other side of Harry, leaning his head on Gracie's shoulder. I shut my eyes, about to go to sleep when Niall and Louis made their way into the room. Niall sat on the end of the bed, leaning on my legs to lay down, I didn't mind. Louis did the same, leaning on Liams legs. The feeling of all of us together was comforting. Gracie was growing up, to us, she was still our little girl. Always. Even though Gracie was growing up, we would soon have another little one running around! I'm honestly excited for the baby to come, a little baby boy for us to love. One day the band ends, I know it will, we have talked about doing solo projects one day before but there will be a while before that, as long as we all stay friends, I'm happy.
