Louis: You had always been the one to wake up when your son Brian had nightmares. But tonight it was only Louis, since you were at your parent’s house to take care of your younger siblings. "Daddy..." Brian said, tapping Louis' chest. Louis stirred awake and turned over. "Hey buddy. What's up, shouldn't you be asleep?" "I can't sleep in my bed." Brian said, sounding ashamed. "Why not?" Louis asked. Brian led him into his room, showing him his bed with a big wet spot on his green sheets. "Brian, what happened?" "I had a bad dream. And I peed." He answered. For a second Louis thought of re-enacting the movie Big Daddy, putting newspaper on the wet spot and letting Brian stay in the bed. But he just sighed and took the sheets off of his mattress and walked down the hall to throw them in the wash. "Alright, Brian. You can sleep in my bed, you won't have any more nightmares in there." Brian held out his pinky. "Do you promise?" He asked. Louis locked his pinky with Brian's. "I promise."
Harry: It was around midnight and you and Harry were still up, watching a movie when your son Brandon came in, his eyes filled with tears. "What happened, Brando?" Harry asked him, pushing back Brandon's curly hair. "I had another nightmare." Brandon's tears are now rushing down his face. Harry asks you to pause the movie and holds Brandon's hand, following him upstairs. "Is it the one about the monster bears again?" Harry asked. Brandon pulled the covers up to his eyes and nodded. "Well...I don't see any here." Harry said, looking behind the curtains. "Or under here." He looked under the bed. "The closet is safe too." He said as he shut the closet door. "Sir, I'm going to have to check behind your pillow." He joked, moving Brandon's pillow aside. "I don't see any monster bears. This only means that...you must be the monster bear!" Harry screamed and hid in the corner. "Please don't hurt me Mr. Monster Bear!" He yelled, putting his hands in front of his face. Brandon roared like a bear and put his hands up like claws, running over to Harry. "No, no please don't tickle me!" Harry begged. But Brandon did anyways. They ended up piled on each other, laughing up a storm. "Are you still scared, kiddo?" Brandon shook his head. "But you should be!" He continued to tickle Harry.
Niall: You and Niall are in bed when your daughter Delilah shakes him awake. "Daddy..." She whispers, not wanting to wake you. "What's wrong, babe?" He whispers. He wipes the tears off of her cheek. "I had a nightmare." She starts to cry again. He picks her up bridal style and carries her to her room. "What was it about?" "I-I was screaming, and you and mommy couldn't hear me! And I was getting stolen and you didn't save me!" She screamed. He put his arm around her. "I'd never let anyone steal you." He said, holding her tight. "Really?" She put her head into his chest. "Never, ever, ever." "What would you say if a robber came in and tried to take me?" She asked. "I'd punch him in the face! And I'd ask him 'Hey! Where do you think you're going with my little girl?'" He smiled down at her and pulled back her covers. She laid into them and he tucked her in tightly, handing her the stuffed bunny she slept with every night. "But when daddy's on tour, you have other people to protect you. Like mommy, and Mr. Whiskers!" He made the bunny dance and she laughed.
Liam: You and Niall are in bed when your daughter Delilah shakes him awake. "Daddy..." She whispers, not wanting to wake you. "What's wrong, babe?" He whispers. He wipes the tears off of her cheek.

Zayn: Your daughter Alexis woke him up, pulling on his foot and scaring him. "What's wrong, Lexi?" He asked half asleep, getting out of bed. "Daddy, I had a bad dream." She said. She was holding her blankie so tight he thought she'd rip a hole in it with her thumb. He put her on his back and carried to her bed, laying her down and climbing in next to her. "What was your bad dream about?" He asked her."There was a bunch of people, and we were in the crowd of people. And they took you away, and I couldn't find you!" She cried and put both of her arms around his bicep. "I was scared that you were gone!" She exclaimed. He kissed her forehead. "You'll never lose me, okay? I'm your daddy, nobody is taking me away from you." "Not even your fans?" She asked. He shook his head. "Daddy? Can you tell me a nice story so I can feel better?" She asked. He laughed and agreed. "Once upon a time there was a pretty princess named Lexi. And she and her mommy, the queen, were the prettiest girls in the whole land. And one day, Lexi couldn't sleep. So King Daddy came over and gave her a biiiiiig hug, like this, and a biiiiiig kiss, like this." He hugged her and kissed the top of her head. "And Lexi could sleep good again. And alllll of the bad people left her alone, because she was the strongest princess ever, and her daddy would hurt them if they touched her." He continued. Lexi was asleep so he stood up, ready to go back and lay in bed with you. "Daddy? Where are you going?" She asked. He turned around and laid back down. "Nowhere, Lex. Go to sleep." The next morning you woke up alone. You searched for Zayn until you came to Lexi's room, smiling. They were fast asleep, her head against his chest and his arms around her like they were hugging.
