Chapter 18 - All The Battles, All The Wars, All The Times That You've Fought.

*Harry*

Being stuck in bed on Niall's accord isn't so bad, gives me time to think and he takes excellent care of me, and Angel on top of that.

I sit up and Niall walks in and stares at me

"Where you going?" he sing songs.

"No where, I just sat up," I tell him and he smiles, "Can I get up now and see my baby?" 

"I'm right here," Niall smiles cheekily, but he nods, "course you can, but relax, if you remember something needs doing, tell me I'll do it," he reminds me as I get out of bed.

"Alright, I will, thank you for taking care of me," he stands in front of me and takes my face in his hands softly, then kisses my forehead.

"I made a vow to you, nearly six years ago, to love, and care for you no matter what, and I will always love and care about you, I can promise you that, I know sometimes I'm difficult and I annoy you, or I'm a little mean, but you love me anyway too, and that's all that matter, so I will take care of you, forever and ever," I can't help but smile as he leans down and softly kisses me.

"Daddy!" Angel interrupts our kiss and I pull away from Niall and she runs to me, I scoop her up in my arms and she snuggles her little head in my neck, "missed you, Daddy, I hat-d t'play with Papa," she leans in and whispers, not so quietly, "and Papa is not as fun as you."

"Hey, I heard that!" Niall pouts and she giggles when I put her down, she toddles to Niall and cuddles his leg.

"Love you, Papa."

"I love you, munchkin, let's go and play with all your toys!" Niall says excitedly and they run off together.

"No running down the stairs!" I yell and jog out the room to see Niall running up our old wooden stairs and my daughter, falling down them.

She falls about halfway before Niall catches her and she screams, practically screams.

"Oh my god," I'm stunned. I can't do anything, I tried to keep her safe from these stairs for five years, I knew on the inside it was inevitable she would fall eventually. Niall holds her tight and walks down the stairs slowly, I follow once I've returned from shock.

I walk as fast as I can down the stairs and Angel reaches for me. Niall passes her over and she cries hard into my chest.

"D-daddy," she wails, "hurts,"

"What hurts baby, what hurts?" Niall is staying very calm and I will have to praise him for that. He's holding his phone and '999' is placed in the call, he just needs to press the button.

"M-my legs," I nod at Niall who instantly calls the emergency number.

"Okay, okay, look at Daddy, Papa calling a doctor okay? We're gonna make sure you're okay, darling, shh, it's alright."

"What if she's broken her leg, what if she's broken both of them?" Niall asks me as I carry our screaming daughter to the sofa to lay her legs down, "I'll never forgive myself if she hurt herself because I was stupid with h-her, Harry what if-"

"Ni, sweetheart, calm down okay? Come on, breathe for me baby, you gotta breathe," I say and he takes a shaky breath in, shuts his eyes and breathes, "An ambulance is on its way," he says calmly.

"Good, hopefully there's nothing too seriously wrong with her," Niall nods and I put my arm round him, "It's not your fault honey,"

"P-papa?" Angel sniffles and Niall is by her side in record timing, things like that make me realise how much he loves her.

"Yeah?"

"I sorry,"

"No, darling, you fell, everybody falls over sometimes, but Papa was right there to catch you," it's true though, I don't think I ever saw Niall run that fast when he used to play football, on the TV, he practically ran faster than the speed of light to catch her. But she had already lost balance a little and must have fell at least a good half way down the first flight of our stairs.

Soon the paramedics are here and placing Angel on a 'bed' as she called it, I had to hold her hand the entire time and she wanted Niall there too in the back of the ambulance, which the nurse kindly let him come, for an autograph for her nephew once she had finished her nursey things.

When we get to the hospital, getting Angel to sit still for an x-ray was proving to be so hard.

"Why can't Daddy come?" she pleads the nurse but I'm not allowed.

"Look, Angel, me or Papa would go with you but we're not allowed to, you have to sit by yourself for one minute, and if you're extra good, I promise we can go for a McDonald's afterwards," the nurse watches as I persuade my five year old. 

"Okay Daddy," she sighs and the nurse physically relaxes.

"You have to sit as still as a statue!" I tell her and she nods before she's taken into the room and I stand behind glass smiling at her as she has the x-ray.

"You're a pretty amazing father Haz," Niall complements, "are we really gonna get Maccies?" he asks just as excited as Angel and the nurse laughs.

....

"Can't believe she broke her leg," Niall sighs as we drive home, we called Archie and she came to get us in her and Zach's big ass family car, me in the front and Niall in the back with Angel, who's fast asleep on Niall's shoulder, his arm round her to keep her in place.

Archie stretches her hands over the steering wheel and hums, she does it again and again until something sparkly catches my eyes, something familiar, that I've seen before.

"Oh my god he proposed!" I nearly scream but it comes out more of a whisper scream.

"Yep!" she says happily and Niall looks confused.

"A while back Zach asked me for blessing since your parents aren't around much Arch, and I gave him my blessing and he did it!" I say excitedly half to Niall and Arch.

"Awh that's really cute, but I bet it doesn't come close to my Disney World proposal," Niall brags and Archie laughs.

"Nothing could ever come close to that, pretty well done really Ni, bet you both fucked til you couldn't breathe after it," I gasp and Niall looks at Angel who's still sleeping.

"Archie!" Niall scolds.

"What? She's asleep! No harm done," I chuckle lightly before we're home at last and Niall takes Angel to her bed, where we prop her leg up like the doctor advised and made sure she was comfy, before we went to sleep for a while too, Niall had a little cry before he slept, saying it was his fault, but I reassured him it absolutely wasn't and once he's sure, we take a good old fashioned nap, from the stress of the day.
