* Niall's POV *

I walk into the daycare where my son is supposedly at and walk up to the receptionist to see she had a name tag on that said 'Morgan'. "Hi, how may I help you?" Morgan asked smiling at me from behind the counter. "I'm here to pick up my son Atticus Horan" I say and she nodded before typing something into her computer "Niall Horan?" She questioned looking back up at me "that's me"

She smiled and stood up "I'll show you where he is" I nod and follow her. Morgan lead me into another room where there was around fifteen little kids sitting at tables drawing with crayons. "He is just over there" Morgan said pointing to my little boy who was at a table with three other little boys. I smile and thank Morgan before walking over to him, dodging the little tables and chairs as I make my way over.

I kneel down beside the little blue chair Atty was sitting on and place my hand on his back "hey baby" I say as he turned to me "daddy" Atty jumped off his chair and jumped into my arms. I smile and hold him up as he wrapped his legs and arms around me. "Ready to go home?" I ask him and he nodded before stuffing his head in my neck. "Want to say goodbye to your friends?" I ask

"bye" Atticus said waving to his friends who waved back. I smile and pick up the piece of paper on the table that Atty was drawing on and carry him and the paper back to the receptionist area to see Morgan was standing there with Atty's little backpack. "I'll see you tomorrow Atticus" Morgan said tickling Atty's side which made him giggle and dig his head into my chest. "Bye" I say to Morgan who waved and watched as I carried Atty out of the daycare.

"How was day care baby?" I ask as I carry him over the car "good" Atty murmered with a yawn as I unlocked the car and opened the back door. "Nap time?" I ask him and he shook his head making me chuckle as I place him in the car seat and buckle him in. "Go to sleep baby" I say softy as I lightly kiss his forehead before shutting the door then I climbed into the drivers seat and drove us home. About ten minuets later I pulled into the driveway of the house and turned the car off before climbing out.

I open the back door to see Atty was sound asleep, I smile and grab his backpack and slip that onto my shoulder before getting the young child out of the seat and carried him inside to get away from the cold. Once inside I carried Atticus to his bedroom where I took his shoes off and checked his diaper before placing him in the crib. "Niall?" I hear Charlie call from downstairs, I quietly walk out of the bedroom and shut the door behind me before walking downstairs, just shutting the top gate and smiled at Charlie as she took off her coat and hung it up.

"Hey, how was your first day?" I ask as I walked into the kitchen with her following. "It was good, the other workers are really nice so that's great" she said grabbing a bottle of water out of the fridge before taking a seat at the counter which I did too, minus the water part. "Is he asleep?" Charlie asked noticing the absence of Atty. "Yeah he was exhausted" I say and she nodded "did he say anything about school?" Charlie asked and I nodded "all he said was it was good before going to sleep" I say making her chuckle.

"Atty you can watch a movie after your bath" I say to the boy who didn't want to get up from the couch "pwomise?" The two year old asked looking at me with a frown on his face "yes baby I promise" I say putting my hand out, he slowly slid off the couch and waddled over to me, I smile and take bus hand in mine before leading him upstairs and into my bedroom and into the bathroom where I undressed him before lifting the boy into the tub where I had filled with water before I finally got him to get off the couch.

"Where daddy?" Atticus asked as he played with the yellow toy ducks that were floating in the water "he has gone to get us some dinner" I tell my baby as I fill a cup up with water and tip it slowly on his head with my hand on his forehead stopping the water from going into his eyes. After tipping another cup full of water on his head I moved my hand away and adjusted his hair so he could actually see before grabbing the baby shampoo "close your eyes bub" I say and Atty quickly squeezed his eyes shut making me smile before putting the shampoo in his hair.

After cleaning the boy I let him play because he was telling the ducks a story and it was really cute so I didn't want to stop him. After about ten minuets I finally reached into the tub and pulled the plug "but mumma" Atticus whined giving me a pout "sorry baby but you are going to go wrinkly" I say as I grab his towel and hang it from under my chin before lifting the boy out of the tub and wrapped the towel around him before placing him down on his own two feet and began drying him.

"All done" I say hanging the towel back up and looked down at the naked toddler "movie now?" He asked putting his hands on his hips "how about we get your dressed first?" I ask and the boy huffed before stomping out of the bathroom and towards his bedroom with me following behind with a grin on my face. Once we were in his bedroom I grabbed a pull up from the box on the floor and turned to Atticus who was standing there waiting for me.

I kneel down in front of him and instructed him to put his hands on my shoulders before telling him to lift his right leg up and i slipped it in the right leg hole before repeating it for his left leg before I pulled the pull up to his waist "do you want to wear a shirt?" I ask the boy who shook his head before pointing at his crib "you want to go to bed already?" I ask the boy who immediately shook his head "no no no" he repeated making me laugh "what do you want then babe?" I ask "Nemo" he said impatiently, I roll my eyes playfully and reach into the crib and hall out the plush Nemo toy and passed it to the baby who grinned and thanked me.

Since Atticus was too focused on playing with his Nemo toy I didn't trust him walking down the stairs so I lifted the boy up and carried him out of the bedroom and downstairs just as Niall walked into the house with two bags of food. I give him a smile before carrying Atty over to the couch since that is where we are going to be eating while watching a movie. I place Atty in the middle of the couch and he adjusted himself so he was comfortable.

"here love" Niall said passing me a Chinese take out box, I thank him and sit down on the couch on the right side of Atty. I place the box down in my lap and open it up before taking the fork out of the little plastic bag which had chopsticks, spoon, fork and knife before stabbing a peice of meat and put it in front of Atty's lips "open up baby" I say and the boy did as I said and opened his mouth, letting me put the meat in his mouth, after he bit it off the fork I pulled it out of his mouth and ate some of the food while he ate.

"What movie are we watching?" I ask Niall who just took a seat on the other side of Atticus after setting the TV up with a movie "we are watching Bambi" he responded and I nodded but Atty didn't seem to like the idea "no Nemo" the boy huffed with food still in his mouth "Atty" I scold at him for talking with his mouth open, he ignored me and gave his dad a glare "Nemo" he whined "Atty we are watching Bambi, I promise you that you will like it" Niall said to the boy "how about we watch Nemo tomorrow?" I suggest and Atty turned to me before nodding "Otay" I smile and give him a bit of rice for him to eat.

After we had all finished eating and the movie was in progess I got up and took everybody's rubbish to the kitchen and put it in the bin before filling a bottle with milk before walking back out and took my place back on the couch and as soon as I sat down Atty placed his head in my lap as he curled into a ball. I smile and put the bottle in his hands and rubbed his bare backs as he happily drank the milk and watched his new favourite movie.
