Liam Payne's Step Sister

15: Ireland

Niall's P.O.V

"Ellie. Wake up. We're landing soon." I whisper in her ear. She's so cute when she's sleeping. I mean, not like I care... or anything. She quickly opens her eyes. "Do I have to?" Ellie pouts. "Yeah." I smile. "What are you smiling at?" Ellie laughs. "I'm just happy to be back in Mullingar." I cover the fact that I was smiling about her being with me.

"So where are we staying?" She asks me. I was supposed to be in charge of that. "My family's house." I shrug it off. "Niall! I don't even know them." Ellie pouts. "How will you get to if you're not even staying with them?" I try to reason with her.

Ellie's P.O.V

Niall knocks on the door. "What if they don't like me?" I worry. Niall's Mom quickly opens the door. "Niall!" She shouts, hugging him. She gasps. "And who's this?" She pulls away and asks him. "Niall... You know how we feel every time you bring a new girlfriend to our house." She mumbles. "No mom. This is Ellie! She's Liam's step sister." He pulls me closer to him with a free arm. "Oh! I'm so sorry. I'm Niall's mom, but call me Maura." She quickly realizes. "Hi." I smile. "Well... Come inside!" She grabs our free hands and pulls us in. She walks behind me and shuts the door. "Niall honey, Greg is coming later to drop off Theo so he can go to work. I need to go to the store and am gonna spend the day with some friends." Maura puts on her coat. "Don't they have a babysitter?" Niall pouts. "Yes but she's on Holiday." She reasons. This whole time I'm just standing in the corner silently, looking like an idiot. "What about dad? Is he working?" Niall opens the fridge and grabs some yogurt, then another for me. "Yeah." She walks out the door.

"Well..." I awkwardly say. "You're sleeping in my room!" Niall announces. "Ok." I shrug. Suddenly, I feel my phone vibrating in my pocket. Liam's calling? "Hey" I say in a cheery voice.
"Sup?" Louis' voice answers.
"Really Loui? Being cool?" I smirk.
"Dude... I'm totally cool." Oh I get it. American.
"Yeah bro." I try not to laugh.
"What's up?" I say in my surfer accent.
"Nothing good, brah. Niall's gotta Skype into the concert later." I hear Harry laugh in the background.
"Radical." I hold back a grin.
"Where's dad?" I refer to Liam.
"Nappin'" Loui cuts off.
"Put the phone next to his ear ok?" I say in full seriousness. I hear some shuffling and then silence. "Now." Comes a little voice. I scream as loud as I can. "What's wrong?" Niall panics. "Fans!" Liam screeches. "Hi." You can probably hear my smirk. "I hate you." Liam mumbles. "Love you too Li." I smile. "Bye." He grumbles, probably going back to sleep. "Bye." I laugh.

I hear the doorbell ring. "Niall. Can you get it?" I pout. "Hey Greg!" He happily shouts. I stand up from my spot on the couch and walk over to the door. "Who's this?" Greg smirks. "This is Ellie." Niall smiles. "Uh.., we're not together or anything." I make sure he knows. "Oh I know." Greg nods. I shoot Niall a questioning glance. He simply brushes it off. "So are you two taking care of Theo today?" Greg smiles. "Yeah!" Niall happily takes his baby nephew into his arms. Greg closes the door and walks out to his car, then drives away. Kind of what I wished my dad had done. No Ellie! Quit it! This is where you're gonna be happy. "Niall! Your concert is in an hour!" I remind him.

"Hey guys!" I test out the camera, which is attached to the computer, which is currently Skyping the boys and overlooking an entire area. "Hi Ellie!" Zayn says, happier than usual. "What have I missed?" I say sarcastically, because I know nothing interesting has happened. "Well once you left, Harry went to the bathroom and Liam made chicken nuggets." Louis butts in. "You guys know you still need to take care of Patch right?" I make sure Liam can hear me. "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Harry pouts. The doors open and around a hundred fans burst through the door. "Hey!" Niall sits next to me. "What's up?" He asks. "She's just going over chores with us." Louis pouts. "You're no fun." Niall jokingly pushes me.

"Everyone! Let's wish Niall a happy birthday!" Harry shouts into his microphone once the show starts. I'm sitting out of the spotlight with Theo in my arms. "Hey Ellie! Do questions with us!" Liam shouts.

"First question: Niall, are you and Ellie dating?" Liam reads out loud. "Nope." Niall quickly shakes his head. "Ellie: how long have you and Liam been related?" Zayn shouts. "Since I was 13!" I laugh. Niall pulls out his guitar from behind him and they all agree on singing Little Things.
