Two months later, a day before Asher's first birthday
I ran around like a maniac with a baby on my hip gathering enough for one direction, Five seconds of summer, Anyone they bring along, Ashton's mother, my family, all the babies and kids in the family and my friends and the few of them that have them their kids.
I threw another bag or crisps into the cart and decided that was enough. I went to check out. "Olivia?" I herd from behind me. I turned and almost screamed. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I sneered.
"I'm here to get groceries but happy I ran into you" he said smiling. I filled my eyes and paid grabbing the handle of my cart and pushed it passes the man. "Come on livi. Don't act like that" the woman next to him said. "I have the right to act like this" I said getting angrier with every word. "Baby. Please. We're sorry" she said stepping towards me putting a hand on my cheek. I slapped if away and just looked at her in disgust. But when she put her hand on my babies cheek is when I lost it. "Don't you fucking dare" I spat pulling Asher from the cart. "I just wanted to touch my grandchild" she defended. "No. You wanted him dead. When I denied you kicked me out. So no. You arnt touching him" I buffed turning on my heels. I herd the clicked of heels following me and heavy foot steps.
I put Asher in his car seat and cut the car on locking his door. I put the groceries into the trunk rolling my eyes as my mother continued to apologize. "Listen here. If you wanted to be in Ashtons life so fucking bad you should have tried when I told you. Not over a year later so fuck you and your fucking husband. I don't want either one of you near my kid" I said slamming the trunk closed. "Baby. Please" my dad begged. I got in closing the door. I rolled the window down and threw up my middle finger holding it out the window as I pulled out of the parking lot.
I sighed as Asher babbled. That made me smile. Fuck them. Ive got my Ashtons and the rest of the boys. I've got Ash and Luke's family's. They are dead to me.
I pulled into Ashtons house. Well I live there too.
I called him telling him to come help with groceries. I pulled Asher from his car seat setting him on the ground. He walked around, mostly following me.
He took his first steps at ten months. Luke filmed it as I let him go and he walked to Ashton landing into his arms and ash threw him into the air and Micheal and Calum screamed/laughed.
He's gotten pretty good at it and can say Mama, Ash, Dada, Baba, no and NiNi. Niall and ash almost cried when he said those. They were a few weeks apart and ash loved boasting about how he said his name. Once he said NiNi we never herd the end of it.
"NiNi" Asher screamed as Niall emerged from rental car that just pulled in. "Little man" he said walking over. Asher wobbled over holding up his hand. "Up" he said. "New word!" Niall exclamed as he picked him up. "Hey ash. Livi" he said kissing my cheek. Ash gave me that look he always gave me when Niall was being affectionate.
I took Asher from him and grabbed two bags. The boys got the rest and we walked into the house.
I sat Asher down and let him go play with his toys in the living room. Me and the boys put all of the food up and I sent ahead and put two frozen pizzas in the oven because the boys kept complaining about being Hungry.
I set a timer and walked back into the living room kicking my black and white adidas off.
I sighed as I fell onto the couch. "Stressed out?" Ash asked. "Mhm. And broke" I said laughing lightly. He kissed my forehead apologizing.
I closes my eyes before Asher began to cry. I groaned having to literally pull myself from the couch. "C'mere" I said dully reaching for my baby. "I'll take em. You relax" Niall said. I scoffed pulling my baby from the floor. "I think I can take care of my own baby" I said. Niall kind of looked at me as if I kicked a puppy. I stomped off towards me and Asher's bed room.
Niall's pov
"What the fuck" ash said as Olivia's door closed. "That's what I'm thinking" I said putting down the little plastic cow. "She's in a pissy mood eh?" Ash asked. "I guess so" I huffed standing up. "Maybe I should go talk to her?" I asked. He nodded his head wishing me luck.
I knocked softly on her door. When she didn't answer I decided to walk in. When I did I almost fell to my knees at the sight
She rocked in the rocking chair with tears mixed with mascara dripping down her face while Asher cried loudly. She chocked up trying to calm her baby and herself. "ASHTON" I yelled for him. He came in and sighed. He pried the baby from her arms and calmed him down slowly. I picked Olivia up bridal style and carried her to the guest room. I sat on the bed crisscross with her sitting in my lap. Her head in my chest as she cried hard yet quietly. I ran my hand through her hair just letting her get her emotions out.
"I'm so sorry" she said sniffling. "I don't know why I broke down like that. It never happened before" she confessed. I rubbed her back and kissed her forehead. My eyes went down to her lips. I can't. I haven't kissed her since that day of our date. And she so vulnerable at the moment it just wouldn't be right.
"Ni. Can I ask you something?" She asked scooting off my lap sitting criss cross in front of me. "What is it love" I urged her. "I've been thinking for a bit now and I know this is the guys job usually but I was wondering.. Will you be my boyfriend?"
