Small Bump ( Niall Horan Fanfic! :D)

Chapter Eight-NICU Visits

Niall's POV

When I woke up the next morning it was about nine thirty. Lyric was no where in the room, but I heard water running in the bathroom so I figured she was in there. I pushed the blankets that the hospital provided off of my lap, and walked over to the closed door. I was still dressed in the same clothes since the delivery and I would change when we went home. I gently knocked on the door using my knuckle.

"Lyric? Babe are you in there?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'm just getting out of the shower. I'll be out in a few minutes." She replied.

"Okay, I'll be waiting." I walked over and sat back down on the bed. I reclined it into a sitting position, and crossed my legs one over the other. I folded my hands in my lap, and waited. My mind drifted off to my babies. Little Michael and Gracie. I can not believe that I'm a dad, especially to twins.

It was mind blowing, but I was over the moon with happiness. I was going to be the best dad ever to them. I started to wonder if they were going to take over my personality or Lyric's. Who knows though, they were just born yesterday September 5th, eight days before my birthday. How exciting they are like a early birthday present.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I felt the right side of the bed dip. I looked up and over to see Lyric with her brown hair that hung down around her shoulder's damp. She had on a purple long sleeved-scoop neck shirt, and a pair of my black sweats that had American Eagle down the side in white. She didn't even look like she had just gave birth to twins, she looked really good.

"How on earth did those pants stay up?" I flirted causing her to blush.

"I had to tie the strings really tight, but they're really comfy and I couldn't pass them up." She spoke as she fiddled with the strings. I leaned over and pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"They look cute on you anyways." I smiled, and she blushed again.

"Excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Horan?" I turned my head along with Lyric over to the door that was now slightly opened with the doctor (who delivered the babies) head peeking in. He full came into the room.

"Yes?" Lyric asked.

"I would just like to let you know that your babies are improving wonderfully, and tomorrow they are going to be slowly but surely getting the monitors taken off."

"That's awesome doctor." Lyric spoke and I wanted to jump all around the room. He then started to speak again.

"They should be released from the hospital in about eight days with the rate they are improving." He smiled. Eight days? That's when my birthday is I realized again. I beamed the biggest smile I think I've ever smiled before. The doctor then left the room, and Lyric started to talk.

"Eight days Niall! That's awesome, your going to have the best birthday ever!" She smiled wrapping her arms around my neck giving me a hug.

"Let's get our stuff around so we can go see the babies, then head out, yeah?" I asked.

"All are stuff is packed see?" She said pointing to our duffle bags by the door. We both got off the bed, slipped on our shoes, grabbed our bags, and headed towards the NICU. We dropped our bags in the waiting room of the NICU and went inside. There was only one set of parents in their today. I glanced over at the child, and it was so tiny. The mother was crying, and her husband had her wrapped in his arms. I continued to walk over to my babies and the nurse was with them.

"Hi, are you ready to hold them?" she asked softly, smiling at Lyric and I. We both nodded and she gestured for us to sit on a little sofa next to the crib they were in. She took out Gracie, while dragging her machines over and placing her in Lyrics arms. She gave her a blanket and Lyric carefully wrapped it around the baby. The nurse then passed Michael over to me and I repeated the same process that Lyric had done.

Lyric moved closer to me, close enough where our thighs were pressed together. She then changed Grace from a cradle position to where Lyric had her lay in both of her arms above her lap. I did the same with Michael, so we could both see them at the same time.

"I can't believe these little buggers were inside of you Lyric." I laughed.

"Neither can I! It feels weird without them in there." She grinned, and I let out a laugh.Then Gracie started to stir awake. She opened her eyes and they were the exact same color as mine.

"Hi their baby." Lyric cooed. Gracie stared at the both of us surprised at the strange people holding her.

"Hi baby girl, shes your mommy and I'm your daddy and we both love you." I smiled. She smiled back.

"I think she recognizes your voice Niall form all the talking you did to them, I'm shocked they didn't come out talking." She laughed again and Gracie smiled up at her. I glanced down at Michael he also had his eyes open, his eyes just like mine and Gracie's. I reintroduced myself and Lyric to Michael and he beamed brightly.

"Niall, they look just like you. You now have mini me's." I smiled, they did look like me, but I could also see how they looked like Lyric.

"They do look like you to ya know. I can see it." I said, and with that I pressed a kiss to her temple, along with placing one on each one of that babies foreheads.
