Niall's secret child

10

* Niall's POV*

I drive into the restaurant's car park and park in the first available car park which was conveniently close to the door seeing as it was raining slightly and I didn't want Atticus getting wet and catching a cold. I turn the car off and take my seatbelt off before turning in my seat to look at my baby who was looking out the window babbling about something. I smile and turn back around before jumping out into the cold rain. I quickly shut my door and open the back door "hey daddy" Atty giggled as he reached out to me.

I smile and grab his backpack which Charlie had packed and put the strap over one of my left shoulder before reaching in and unbuckled him from the seat and lifted him out, I place him on my hip before shutting the door and ran undercover. I move Atticus around so he was on my other side before locking the car with the button thing on my key before walking into the restaurant where I was immediately welcomed by my four bands mates.

But instead of welcoming me they had their attention on my boy in my arms who shyly hid his face in my neck hugging his nemo toy close to his chest. I let out a chuckle before bouncing the shy boy up and down in my arms slightly to calm him. "Atty don't be shy baby, you remember these guys don't you?" I asked "yeah" he whispered into my ear. "then don't be shy baby, they just want to say hello" I tell the boy who slowly pulled his head away and looked at the lads cautiously.

"How about we go over to our table" Liam suggested and we all agreed before heading over to the table, the lads had already claimed. At one end of the table was a high chair which was obviously was for Atticus. "You remember my buddy?" Louis asked the boy as I took a seat next to him at the table with him beside me and the high chair on the other side. "yeah, you Louie" Atty said as he reached over to the lad to be held. Louis grinned and took the boy from my lap and started talking to the boy, which basically just consisted of Louis pretending to know what the boy was talking about.

"Charlie!" I hear the familiar voice of my old best friend call out as I entered the small empty cafe. I grin as my eyes lock with Hunter's. I move away from the door and walk over to the table he was sitting at, as I got closer he got out of his chair and pulled me into a tight hug once I reached him. I grin and wrap my arms around him and squeeze him as hard as I could. Hunter and I grew up here together in London and when I left for Australia we never lost contact, we'd text, call and Skype. We'd do everything to stay in contact but the entire time we haven't seen each other in person. He hasn't even met his godson in person.

"how have you been?" Hunter asked as he still held onto me but had loosened his grip. "I've been great, Australia was awesome" I say before adding "How have you been?" I ask as we let go of each other and took a seat at the table. "I've been alright, but not I'm great, my best friend is back, and my adorable godson is here" he stated with a massive smile on his face making me laugh. "Where is he anyways?" Hunter asked with a frown "he's with his dad" I say and the conversation went on from that. After about two hours we decided to go for a walk around London so we both got a coffee to go before walking out of the cafe and started our journey around London.

"Atty what's wrong baby?" I ask the boy who was fidgeting in the high chair, we had all finished dinner about half an hour ago and we were just sitting at the table chatting. "Daddy" he whined reaching out to me, close to tears. I unbuckle him from the high chair and lifted him out before sitting him sideways in my lap. "Tell daddy what's wrong" I say softly as I rub his tummy. "Me tired" he whined putting his thumb in his mouth and put his hand against my chest.

I smile and reach into his backpack which was beside me and pulled out his pacifier and replaced his thumb with it before I started stroking his cheek slowly to calm him down to fall asleep as I turned my attention back to the lads and went back to talking to them. "He's passed out" Harry said from across the table as he looked at Atticus in my arms. I look down to see the boy was indeed passed out with the pacifer still in his mouth. I smile and move my hand from his cheek and run my fingers through his hair.

I pull up into the driveway of the house to see Charlie's car wasn't there. I frown and turn the car off before climbing out of the car and opened the back door to see my beautiful boy sound asleep, with the pacifier still in his mouth and he was hugging the Nemo toy to his chest. I smile and unbuckle him carefully. Once the straps were off his body I lifted him out of the seat and held him against my chest. He made some noises before settling his head on my chest and went back into a deep sleep.

I smile and place my lips against his forehead before shutting the car doors softly before locking it with my keys, I carry Atty over to the front door where I unlocked the door before carrying the child inside. After shutting the door behind myself, I walked upstairs and turned left and went into Atticus' nursery where I laid him down on the changing table and pulled his shoes off and put them carefully down on the ground before pulling his jeans off, followed by his button up t-shirt.

Smelling the state of his diaper, I decided it was a good idea to change it, so I grabbed the things I needed before taking the dirty diaper off of him. After cleaning him up and putting a new diaper underneath him I sprinkled some baby powder on him before doing the tabs of the diaper up. I lift Atticus up off the changing table and carried his sleeping body over to his crib and carefully laid him down. I grab his Nemo toy and placed it underneath his arm before covering his small body with the blankets. "Sweet dreams baby" I whisper as I lean down and place a kiss on his head before straightening back up.

I glance at the boy once more before walking out of the bedroom turning the light off in the process. I quietly shut the door behind me as I walk out before going into my bedroom where I changed into a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt before going back downstairs to fix myself a snack while I wait up for Charlie to come home. Hours seemed to pass like minuets and the moment I was about to fall asleep the front door slowly opened and I heard two voices. One being Charlie's.

"Shhh they'll be asleep" I hear Charlie say softly as she came into the house with a guy. I didn't recognise him at first but when the light caught his face I instantly recognised him as Hunter, Charlie's best friend. I get off the couch and walk closer to them. "Holy shit Niall, I thought you were asleep" Charlie gasped as she noticed me standing there, I release a tired chuckle and scratch the back of my head. "I've been waiting up" I say tiredly "go to bed Niall" Charlie said and I nod making my way upstairs "goodnight Char, Night Hunter" I say giving them a little wave before walking into my bedroom and collapsed on the bed and passed out.
