Chapter Two

Niall's POV

"Nice to see you again Ell." I say.

"Yes, come on in. Your friends are inside and there is a cup of coffee for you on the table. They said that you might like some." She says, motioning me inside.

"Anyway, let me call a buddy who owes me a favor." She says leaving the room.

"You know her?" Louis asks me.

"Yeah, we dated when she lived in Ireland." I say.

"How come we never met her?" Liam asks.

"It was before The X-Factor. She moved back a few months before." I tell them taking a sip of the coffee that was waiting for me.

"Well she didn't seem to know who we were. Has she been living under a rock for the past 3 year?" Harry says, grabbing a mint out of the bowl on the table.

"Well, when you're a single parent, you probably don't have much time for fangirling." Louis say, he too grabbing a mint.

"Wait, she has a kid?" I ask, almost spewing my coffee at this news.

"Yeah..." Louis says very slowly.

"Okay, she must have gotten pregnant when she moved back to New York." I say, finishing off my coffee.

"Okay guys, I have some good news. Buzz can fix your car tomorrow, he isn't at the garage tonight. So you can spend the night, or you can rent another car and get going to where you need to be." Ell says, coming back into the room.

"That's great!" Louis yells, jumping up.

"Shhhhhh!! Alex is asleep." Ell says, with a worried look on her face. But all too soon there is the unmistakable cry of a baby.

"Well, she was going to wake up soon enough to be fed, might as well do it now." Ell says, walking back out of the room.

"Louis, do you see what you did? You need to be quiet." Liam says, pulling him back down on the couch.

"Liam, it's okay. Alex was going to wake up soon enough. Now I don't have to fall asleep and then be woken up." Ell says, walking in with a bundle of blankets.

"Would one of you mine holding her while I go make a bottle?"

"I will." I say.

"You were always good with kids." Ell says, walking over to me and handing my Alex.

"She is so beautiful." Zayn says.

"She has your eyes." I tell her.

"I want to think that she has her dad's."

"And that is?"

"I actually don't know. It was at a time when I had just broken up and I just needed to be comforted and when I moved back; a lot the boys that I had left said that they would be there for my, but for then I guess for them it was just a one night stand." She tells us, walking into the kitchen.

"Niall, I think she looks a bit like you. From the baby pic's that we have seen." Louis says, coming over and pulling back the blanket to see.

"Yeah, she does look a bit like you mate." Liam says.

"I don't know, the timing would work out. But I don't know." I say.

"What timing?" Zayn asks.

"Well..." I say, trailing off before I start.

"Oh." Harry says.

"Yeah."

"Okay, I can take her now." Ell says, walking back into the living room with a bottle in her hand.
