Baby Boom || Liam Payne <Complete>

Chapter 1: Fancy Seeing You Here!

I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. I reached over to my nightstand and answered it, "Hello?"

"Hi Jessie! I'm so sorry to be calling you at this time of morning-" I looked over at the clock on the stand and it read 9:46,"-but my boss called in and I have to work an all day shift. Would you please come and watch Jakob for me?" She said in a rush.

"Sure thing Ms. Reeds. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Thank you so much Jessie! I'll double your pay for today. See you soon!" She said, but before I could tell her no worries about my pay she hung up. I sighed and quickly got up and brushed my teeth. I rushed over to my closet and changed into simple blue jeans with a crop top, along with my Vans. I grabbed my purse and locked my door. As I waited for the elevator, I put my hair into a messy bun. The elevator dinged, and the doors opened. I'm greeted by a fit looking boy around my age with a small quiff and brown eyes. I recognized him as the guy that lives on the floor under me along with his other 4 friends that occupy the 5 rooms. He just moved in last week and we've exchanged a few conversations here and there. His name's Liam, and sadly, that's all I really know about him. Yeah, this is where you insert a sad face.

"What floor, love?" He asked me

"Oh, um, the lobby please." He smiled and pressed the button. "Thank you." I said.

"No problem Jessie. How are you doing today?" He asked.

"I'm doing good. Tired." I smiled and give out a little chuckle

"It is early. What are you doing this time of morning?" He asked, curiousity prominent on his face.

"I have to go babysit Jakob."

"The little boy I've seen you with a few times?" He says, recalling the few run-ins I've had with him while babysitting Jake at my place. I nod.

The doors opened to his floor, which was only under mine, and he looked back and smiled and waved at me. "Well, see you Jessie. Maybe we can catch up sometime?"

I responded back with a, "Of course." just as the doors closed.

He seems like a nice lad. Which he is, from the times I've actually ad the chance to talk to him. I never thought he'd actually talk to me the first time I met him. He had also mentioned me having to meet his other friends and that we should all get together for dinner or something. With this, I had no problem with, besides the only fact I am a bit socially awkward at times.

My thoughts were interrupted by the elevator stopping at the lobby. I rushed out the door and walked the couple of blocks to get to Ms. Reeds' house.

You're probably really confused so let me just say a little something about myself. My name is Jessie and I'm 19 years old. I live in my own flat and I sometimes work for a fashion designer here in London. But mostly I stick to what I'm on my way to, obviously, go do right now. Babysit.

As I come around the corner to Ms. Reeds' house, I looked at my watch and notice she has to get going for her job. So I break into a sprint and knock on her door. The door is immediately pulled open by her. "Oh thank goodness. Okay, you know where all the emergency numbers are. He needs to take his medicine every 4 hours-"

"Ms. Reeds, I've got this. I've been babysitting Jakob since he was born. I think I could handle this guy." I wink at her. I giggle and pick up a crawling little Jakob into my arms. "Now go to work Ms. Reeds. Don't worry, we will be having tons of fun. No need to stress." I say. You can visibly see her relax.

"Thanks again so much Jessie! I might even have to work a grave yard, so if I'm not home by 10:15 can you take him back to your place?" I nodded. "Alright. See you later Jess! Bye Jakob!" She yelled as she drove off. I laughed to myself. She works way to hard for a single mother. But I guess that's why I'm here. Jakob keeps pulling at my hair demanding attention. I laugh and ask him, "What? Huh? Is someone sleepy?" I asked, noticing his eyes closing. I walked into his room and sat on the rocking chair by his crib. I slowly started singing to him as I rocked back and forth. I didn't really know what song to sing so I just decided on a song that popped up into my head.

Your hand fits in mine

Like it's made just for me

But bear this in mind

It was meant to be

And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks

And it all makes sense to me



I know you've never loved

The crinkles by your eyes

When you smile

You've never loved

Your stomach or your thighs,

The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine

But I'll love them endlessly



I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth

But if I do

It's you

Oh, it's you they add up to

I'm in love with you

And all these little things

I remember hearing this song on Radio 1 yesterday and found it very adorable. It was by this band called One Direction. Jakob was passed out cold in my arms so I put him in his crib and put a blanket over him. I walked out into the living room and turned on the T.V. Nothing was on so I just decided to watch Ridiculousness. I was laughing my arse off when a clip of a scientist that had some sort of cannonball thing shot it at another scientist and he went flying. Damn that was funny. My time was cut short when I heard Jakob crying.

I opened his door to find him screaming his lungs off as if some one was murdering him.

I picked him up and tried shushing him. Didn't work.

Rocking him back and forth. Didn't work.

Putting him on my shoulder and patting his back. Another fail.

Tried singing to him..... Score. He started to quiet down as I softly sang 'Ho Hey' by The Lumineers.

I belong with you, you belong with me your my sweetheart.

I belong with you, you belong with me your my sweet...

I looked down and saw him staring back at me with his beautiful green eyes. He reached his tiny hand up and put it on my cheek. "Mama." I started to get tears in my eyes, knowing this was his first word, but I wasn't the one he should be saying it to. Jakob was like my kid. Honestly, I loved taking care of him. I would do anything for him but I could never take his mother's place. It made me over joyed that he said his first word. But I slowly shook my head and took his hand off my cheek. "No baby, I'm not your mama. Mama is at work right now sweetheart." He of course, wouldn't understand a word I was saying and just starting giggling and making baby noises. I walked back into the living room with him still in my arms and sat on the couch.

I put on Aladdin since I have an infatuation with Disney, and started watching the movie. Jakob had quieted down from his noises and was sucking on his thumb. "Aw! His someone hungwy? Is someone hungwy?" I said in an annoying baby voice. He just starts giggling. I walk into the kitchen and put him on his high chair. I take out the ingredients to make his bottle. While, I'm doing this, Jakob starts getting fussy. I start making funny faces at him and he just starts laughing again. I pick him back up and give him his bottle. He starts falling asleep again so I take the bottle out his mouth and try to burp him. When he finally does after a good 15 minutes, I notice it's getting late. Time fly's when you're babysitting. I just decide to take Jakob back home even if Ms. Reeds comes back from work. She'll probably be exhausted anyway. I write a little note saying that Jakob came to my place and stick it on the counter. I grab his diaper bag and my purse and head out the door. Jakob is still sleeping by the time I make it into my flat's lobby.

I push the button for the elevator. When It opens once again, I'm met with 5 very attractive boys. Including Liam.

"Oh hello Jessie! Fancy seeing you here!" He chirps.

"Yeah. How funny." I get in and am right next to Liam when one with curly hair asks me what floor.

"Penthouse please. Top floor." I say with a smile. All the boy's, besides Liam, jaws drop and looked at me with looks of disbelief. I laughed and said, "What?" I say laughing a bit

Is it that surprising? It's only the top floor, and the biggest flat in the complex.... Wait, now I see their shock.

They immediately were brought back from their dazes and one with an Irish accent said, "No! We just.... it's just that our flat is under yours! And isn't the top floor like the most roomy one?" I just burst out laughing and nod, trying not to wake up Jakob.

"Wow........ You must have a lot of clothes and shoes or something to occupy all that space in your flat." One with a crystal blue eyes, not the Irish one, trails.

"Okay.. What do you say we just start over? This was a weird way to see you again after I saw you this morning." Liam asked. I playfully acted to think about it.

"Okay. Would you boys like to come over to my flat for dinner and tea? Liam did mention having dinner sometime." I asked. They all cheered very loudly and yelled confirmations like,

"YEAH!"

"WHAT ARE YOU GONNA MAKE?!"

"THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD!"

"I WOULD LOVE TO!"

"CARROTS!!"

These guys were comical. "And your names gentlemen?" I asked. The quiet one said, "Zayn. Nice to meet you." The curly one said, "I'm Harry." and added a cheeky wink. The Irish one said, "My names Niall!" And finally the sailor looking one said, "AND I'M LOUIS AND CARROTS ARE MY CHILDREN!!!"

I laughed quietly but noticed that Louis' excitement was waking up Jakob. Liam noticed this to and scolded him.

"Look! You woke up the baby! Good one, now she has to go through putting him to sleep again! She's probably exhausted and you just made it harder for her!" I felt bad cause Louis looked very guilty. He mumbled a, "Sorry." and I quickly said, "Oh go easy on the lad Liam. He was just excited cause he got a one-way ticket to see me!" I laughed. The doors opened on their floor and Liam said, "We have an interview. Is it alright if we come round after?" He asked.

"Of course... But interview for what? If I may ask?" That's kinda weird for someone to have an interview out of no where unless it's for a job. And honestly, by the type of clothes these lads were wearing, they had jobs.

"Oh! Uh we have an interview for, uh.... um-" He hesitated to answer the question. "We have an interview with our landlord to see if we can get Harry a cat." Liam said really fast. I'm guessing as a cover up but all the other boys were still looking at me and nodding their heads in unison. They made their way back to their flat but Liam stayed behind to say goodbye.

"That's rude. They didn't say goodbye to you..." He says, almost in a distraught manner. But right as he said that, the boys popped their heads from one of the rooms corridirs and all yelled, "Bye!" and waving like idiots. Liam and I laugh as they retreat back into the room.

"Well I guess I'll see you later then?" He said and started towards his flat. He turned around and said, "Oh wait do you mind if I get your number?" I nodded and he gave me his phone. I imput my name as 'Jess' and gave him his phone back. He looked at the name and nodded in comfirmation.

"Fantastic! Alright, see you round 8:00!"

"Yeah! See you lot soon!" I said as the doors closed. I couldn't help but wonder....

They're just a group of random characters.
