Niall's secret child

13

I walk into Atticus' bedroom to see him sitting in his cot wide awake playing with some of the toys that were in his crib. I turn the light on but dim it before walking over to the crib. "What are you dough awake?" I ask the boy softy as I lean against the crib. "I no sleepy" Atticus replied, keeping his attention on his toys. "Do you want to come with daddy today?" I ask the boy even though he has no choice. Seeing as Charlie was going to see Jason I thought I would take Atticus so she could have some alone time.

"Yeah" Atticus replied still not looking up at me. "How about we get you ready then?" I ask, I didn't really need to get him ready because we were just going to be spending the day at the studio. "Otay" Atticus said looking up at me first the time. I smile and lean down to put my hands under his armpits before lifting him out of the crib, I carry the diaper clad boy over to the changing table and laid him down on top of it. I undo the tabs and take the dirty diaper off of him. It was only solid so I wrapped it up and dropped it in the bin before lifting the boy up and carried him to the bathroom next door.

I had already filled the tub up with some water before going to get Atticus so I placed him straight in and began cleaning him. I took roughly ten minuets to clean him and once I finished I drained the tub and lifted him out, setting him on his two feet in front of me. I reach over to the towel rack and grab Atty's blue towel with trucks all over it and began to dry the boy who's teeth were chattering. "Just a little bit longer babe" I say and he nodded letting me finish drying him.

A moment later he was completely dry so I hung his towel back up and lead him to his bedroom. "Do you want a diaper or pull up?" I ask Atticus "pull-up" he said sucking on his fingers. I nod and grab a pull up from the box that they come in and knelt down in front of the boy and put it on him. "Do you want to pick something to wear today?" I ask, Atticus nodded happily and ran over to where his clothes are kept and came back over to me a moment later with a black hoodie.

"Just that?" I ask and he nodded "okay then" he giggled and stood still so I could slip the black hoody on him. It was a little big for him but it made him look even more adorable and to top it off, it said Horan on the back. "You're daddy's adorable boy aren't you?" I ask and he nodded with a giggle. I smile and grab a pair of black socks and slipped them onto his feet. "Can you pick out some toys to take baby?" Atticus nodded and ran over to his toys to decide what to bring with him while I put a spare change of clothes and a few clean pull-ups in a backpack along with a pair of shoes.

"Tis all daddy" Atticus said walking over to me with his choice of toys. He had about five little cars, a truck and a bouncy ball which was about the size of his hand. "Put it all in" I say opening the bag wider for him, he squatted down and dropped them all in the bag before standing back up. I smile and ruffle his hair and zip the back pack up. I stand back up properly before walking over to the crib where I leant in and pulled out the Nemo soft toy and Atty's pacifer before walking back over to him.

I pass him the Nemo toy but kept the pacifer to myself before lifting him up off the ground followed by the bag before carrying him downstairs quietly. I walk into the kitchen and turn the light on before placing Atticus down in his high chair. "What would you like for breakfast?" I ask the boy as I place the backpack and pacifer down on the counter. "Fru Loops" Atticus said pointing to the box of fruit loops on the counter. I nod and grab it and pour some into a plastic bowl before placing it in front of the boy.

Once we had both eaten breakfast I made Atticus a bottle with milk before carrying him and all our things out the door and over to my car. I unlock the car with the button thing on my keys before pulling the back door open without dropping anything before placing Atticus in the high chair. I place his backpack down on the floor at his feet, gave him the bottle and put the pacifer in the pocket of his jumper before buckling him in. "All good?" Atticus nodded and continued to drink the milk. I smile and place a kiss on the side of his head before climbing into the drivers seat and drove us to the studio.

About fifteen minuets later I park out the front of the studio and turn the car off before climbing out of the drivers seat, I shut the door before walking a few steps over and opened the back door to see my boy watching me whilst drinking his milk, there wasn't much left but he was still enjoying it. "Ready?" I ask and he nodded, letting me menouver around him to pick up his bag, which I put over my shoulder than I unbuckled him and lifted him out of the car seat and placed him on my hip.

It is still really early in the morning, 6:30am to be exact so it was still a little dark and cold. I shut the door and lock the car before carrying Atticus up the steps of the studio and into the building. The receptionist wasn't sitting at her desk but that was alright because I knew where we had to be. Since the floor was carpeted I placed Atticus down on the floor and continued to walk, making sure he was following me before I could loose him. He followed close behind me looking at everything cautiously as he drank from his bottle.

I reach the room we was normally in and push the door open. Sitting inside were all the lads except Zayn who was probably still asleep or on his way. I keep the door open for Atticus to walk in and when he did, Louis jumped up happily from his sleeping state and lifted the boy up off the ground and hugged him, I chuckle and shake my head as I place Atty's bag down in the corner before taking a seat on the leather couch. "Ready to start lads?" Jake one of the people who help us in the studio asked as he walked into the room with a coffee in hand. "Where's Zayn?"

"I'm here" Zayn said walking up behind him before we could even answer. "Ok how about we get started?" Jake asked and we all grumbled our responses, he nodded and took a seat on the leather chair that was placed in front of the controls before putting his headphones on. "I want" atty said suddnly as he pointed at the headphones Jake was wearing "you want to wear a pair?" Jake asked the boy and Atty nodded in response "we better get you a pair then" Jake got out of the chair, took his headphones off before walking out of the room.

He walked back in a moment later, pushing a black leather chair in and had a pair of headphones on them. Jake pushed the chair up next to his before turning to Atticus "do you want to sit up here?" Atticus nodded happily as he slipped off Louis' lap and waddled over to Jake who lifted him onto the chair and proceeded to put the headphones on his head and adjusted them before plugging them into the controls. "There you go" Jake said smiling before sitting back down and put his headphones back on "you're up first Harry".

* Charlie's POV *

I walk into the cafe at exactly 8:30am to see it was quite busy in here, but one person stood out from the rest. He was sitting in the back corner of the cafe looking out the window. I take a deep breath before walking over to him. It was now or never I guess. As I neared the table, Jason looked away from the window and his eyes locked with mine. I gave him a small smile which he returned before getting out of his seat and walked over to me.

As he reached me I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly "hey" I whisper "hey love" Jason whispered back as he kissed my head, I pull away from him a moment later and look up at him with a smile on my face. "Do you want to order a coffee?" Jason asked, I nod so we both lined up and ordered a coffee each. A few minuets later we took a seat at the table that Jason was sitting at before with both of our coffees and we began to catch up.
