chapter 1.

So here's the first chapter, I hope you all enjoy it even though I didn't really have the time to make it a long one as my nan died on Friday and I didn't want to keep you all hanging with just a prologue. Hopefully the next chapter will be up somewhere between Monday and Wednesday. If you've got tips or whatsoever, I don't bite. I've always had a struggle with finishing stories, but I hope this story will actually be completed and get loads of people to enjoy reading it! C.

I've only had her for like a few hours, and it's already so hard. Olivia woke me, and Niall, up at 4 in the morning whining for her nappy to be changed. 

god, how am I gonna handle this. I'm not a morning person at all. 

Niall groaned next to me and rubbed his face, "I am never getting a baby" he joked with a light chuckle following. "Niall, we don't have any diapers. Please can you get some at the grocery store real quick, you'd be the best" I did my best puppy face as I'd now it'd work on the Irish lad.

He nodded with a small sigh and got up, pulling some clothes on. "You're lucky this time" he laughed and walked out of the door.

I looked around the room, trying to come up with an temporary option as diaper but didn't find anything. I should get an expert for this. No not my mum, I'm still shit scared to tell her. 

Gemma.

I walked over to my older sister's room with Olivia whimpering in my arms, and knocked on the door. "Gems? It's urgent" I tried to whisper, but clearly I've been a little too loud with my actions because there is Liam in the doorway of the guest room. He was just looking at me with a tired and annoyed face.

"Harry what the heck are you doing up at four in the goddamn morning?" I heard him mumble.

I sighed and gestured down at the small baby, "dirty nappy. Don't you smell it already? She's a little stinky" I chuckled. You know, I kind of found some humor in this. 

Liam nodded and rubbed his face. "Just give her one of your old shirts. Do you need me to get some real diapers?" he asked me, but I shook my head. "No, Niall's already on his way. Thanks for the offer though" I chuckled and grabbed one of my old shirts.

I guess Gemma will forever stay that deep sleeper she's always been. 

Walking down the stairs, I noticed Gemma standing in the kitchen from the corner of my eye. 
"You up?" I frowned, holding my baby daughter awkwardly in my arms and laid her on the table to go and change her.

She hummed in response, "just got home, had a girls night out. but wait, what are you doing here!" she exclaimed happily. She clearly didn't notice human number three in the room. 

"next concert is just the other day, and it's close enough for us to stay here. Missed you" I whispered and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 

She nodded, her eyes slowly darting to Olivia, and then frowned. "Who's this little cutie you got here, Hazza" she cooed at her. "One, that's such an old nickname" I chuckled, but then continued. "and that's.. you know.. Liam's cousin" I blurted. 

She laughed, "Liam's cousin? why would she be on tour with you guys? without her parents?" she said, shaking her head in disbelieve. "because her parents went on holiday. Don't laugh at me!" I laughed with her. 

She shook it off quickly and scooped the eight months old up. "Gems, I was gonna change her" I whined, because she had interrupted my plans. She looked down at the t-shirt that I was gonna exchange the dirty diaper with. "With a t-shirt? gosh you're full of shit" the room filled with laughed, but it wasn't just the two of us laughing. 

Niall skipped inside holding three bags of diapers and other stuff a baby would need. Such as food, toys, clothing and hair stuff. 

As soon as I saw Niall, I stopped laughing and gestured for him to go upstairs. Yet it was too late. 

"Why would Niall buy all those things when she's Liam his little cousin? Wouldn't her parents give with all the stuff she needs?" she started, but I tried to save my ass quickly and went to interrupt her while she already did the return. "No we all know the Paynes aren't people to forget that." She answered me, somehow she read my mind.

how did she even do that?

"because i'm a queen duh" she joked. Alright so I clearly said that out loud.

"you're such a dumb ass, yes you did. now which one of you losers made a baby?" she's god such weird humor, but hey I guess she really is a queen then. 

Niall frowned from the back, "Harry. Didn't he tell you?" Niall answered Gemma's well needed question. "Niall!" I threw him a shoe. That boy really did deserve the hashtag. (#ohnoniall)

I shook my head, "yeah it was Chloe. Just some girl alright? She dropped Olivia at last night's show, with a letter saying that she's mine which I guess would make sense." I explained. "just don't tell mum and Robin. They'll freak out" I told her while trying to get a diaper on Olivia.

Shouldn't be so hard, you might think? Well both the sticky sides wouldn't stop sticking on all parts of the diaper. 

Gemma nodded and pushed me a step to the side softly, helping me instead of saying anything. 

I yawned and scooped Olivia up once she was done. "Well few more hours sleep. Let's hope no more crying" I sighed and walked upstairs with her after giving a kiss on Gemma's cheek. 

I went into my bedroom, seeing Niall snuggled into the blankets. He must have gone up here while Gemma had our talk.

Mumbling to myself, I laid down again and pulled the blankets over himself and Olivia. 

"I'm starting to love you" I whispered to my baby girl. I was just shocked to hear she was actually mine at first, because how is a twenty two year old going to take care of a baby on his own. But that doesn't keep me from loving her. 

Suddenly I heard Niall sigh beside me, "harry, I love you too now let me sleep okay?". 

I laughed and shook my head, he's crazy like that. 

As I held Olivia on my chest, I felt Niall's cold feet wanting to warm up by my warm ones. being too tired to push him away, I closed my eyes and fell asleep. 

Those few hours of sleep went by way too fast, because when I woke up it was already Louis' time to wake us up. We had a full free day, but that didn't mean much sleep when you're with Louis. 

Don't ask me where he gets his energy from.
