A smile formed on Niall's face as the elementary school came into few. He was out to pick up the kids while you took a well deserved nap at home. Niall always loved picking them up though, he loves hearing about the small yet important news they had when they got into the car. It ranges from a kid taking a juice box to making something for one of you.

You had two kids, a daughter which was six, and a son who had been eight. Niall finally pulled into the car rider line to pick them both up. They were his pride and joy. The day Tommy, your son, was born was the most important day of his life. It proved to the world that indeed he could be a father. Two years later you had brought your baby girl, Lucy into the world.

They were everything to him.  He loved every moment spent with them too.

Soon enough the kids came into view with Lucy's pigtails, and Tommy's new monster shirt, which he was ecstatic to wear that morning. The kids had spotted their father and rushed to the car. "Daddy!" The two screamed in excitement. Niall grinned ear to ear. "My kiddos!"

They both began to buckle in while making small talk. "Guess what Daddy!" Lucy said excitedly. Niall glances into the rear view mirror. "What's that sweetie?" Niall asked as he pulled out. "I drew my family today! See?" Lucy held up the drawing clearly made by a kid. It had You on the right side then Niall on the left with Tommy right beside Niall and Lucy beside you.

"That's incredible Luc." Niall smiled.

"See I drew mommy, you, Tommy, and me." Lucy explained pointing to each person. "How about when we get home we can hang it on the fridge?" Niall asked with a quick glance into the mirror. Lucy nodded vigorously. Niall always hung up anything the kids made. They were precious, someday your kids would have a life of their own and all you'll have is the memories. Might as well begin them with good ones.

"How about you Tommy? What happened today." Niall asked. Tommy blushed. "I gotta girlfriend dad." Niall nearly stopped the car, but kept going. "Y-you gotta girlfriend?"

Tommy nodded. "Uh, don't you think being eight a little to young for girls?" Niall tried to convince him. Times like this made him wish that the kids would never grow up. Only a few days ago Tommy began to call Niall dad instead of Daddy. It kinda broke his heart, but Tommy claimed he was becoming a man.

"Dad, I'm a man now." Tommy groaned. Niall sighed as he pulled into the driveway. "I just don't think eight is an good age to date." Niall reasoned. Tommy rolled his eyes before stomping out of the car. "No sir, you come back-" Niall trailed off as Tommy was out of sight. Niall gently laid his head into the steering wheel.

"Daddy?"

Niall glanced back at Lucy. "Hey s- sweetie." Niall croaked. It broke his heart his son was growing up so fast right beneath him. Niall exited the car and got Lucy out. He held her tightly. "You still think boys are icky, right?" Niall asked as he walked up the steps. Lucy nodded. "That's my princess."

You sat up as Tommy passed you with an aggravated look. Soon after Niall entered with Lucy in his hands. You stood up. "What's wrong with Tommy?" You asked. Niall sighed. "He has a 'girlfriend' Y/N."

You smiled. "Awe. Our little guy is growing up."

Niall groaned before setting your baby girl down. Lucy smiled before running off to play dress up with her dolls. "That's just it. Don't you think eight isn't a good age to date? I told him it wasn't and he got mad." Niall gushed. You just smiled. "He's eight, not eighteen. It's not even serious. Niall sweetie. It's ok." You said taking him into a hug.

"Yeah, but Y/N he even calls me 'dad' now. Where'd our 'girls are icky' son go?" Niall sniffled. You sighed hugging him even tighter. "Everyone grows up Hun. He's still our baby boy, just now I guess our baby 'man' " you laughed using he term he called himself.

Niall nodded pulling out the drawing from earlier. "Lucy drew this."

You smiled taking in the beautiful drawing. "It's perfect." You said heading to the fridge putting it with the others. But you could never have enough. " I love you." Niall said as he wrapped his arms around your waist and putting his head on your shoulder. You leaned into him starting at all the drawings. "I love you too."
