Take Me || Niam

Chaptet Forty One

Niall's P.O.V

"Li." I groaned, pushing Liam's shoulder to try and wake him up. "Liam, wake up." I press.

"I'm up. I'm up." He says, throwing his legs over the side of the bed. I hear Emma crying away thought the baby monitor. I eventually hear Liam's voice coming through.

"It's okay, sweetheart, papas here." I hear him say, making me smile. Emma's crying slows after a few minutes of Liam's cooing. I lay on my back rubbing my now less protruding stomach. It's back to normal basically, just a bit flabby, which makes me quite self conscious.

Soon enough Liam's back in the room, laying next to me. "Did you give her a bottle?" I ask, now wide awake.

"Yeah, she drank it all, then I laid her down and she fell asleep right away." Liam explained.

"Okay, thank you." I say, pulling pulling the blanket up to my shoulders. "She should be sleeping through the night by now." I sigh.

"Ni, it takes time. She will, the doctor said if she isn't already, than she should be soon." Liam said. I sigh, nodding. "It's only midnight and she probably won't wake up again. That's how it's been the past few days." Liam reassured.

"I know. I just.. I want to get this right." I whisper, turning on my side.

"You need to stop worrying." Liam chuckled.

"Well excuse me for worrying." I said, pulling my arms across my chest.

"Maybe it's because you haven't had sex since you were six months pregnant." He teased, moving his hands to wrap around my waist. I quickly moved out of his grasp.

"Liam, stop." I said, pushing, any part of him that tried to get close, away.

"What's wrong?" He asked, turning the bed side lamp on.

"Nothing. I just- I'm not in the mood." I say, sitting up, looking down at my hands.

"No, Niall. Tell me what's wrong." He presses making me sigh.

"Well, what if it's not safe yet?" I try making an excuse, even though I know it's bullshit.

"Why do you mean? Because of the stitches?" He asks. I nod making him look at me in confusion. "Niall, they said, four to six weeks. It's been four months." Liam shook his head. "Tell me what's really going on?"

"Liam, please stop." I try, but it doesn't work, there's a hard look in Liam's eye that tells me he's not going to drop it. "I'm just not ready." I whisper. Liam looks at me strangely.

"Niall, we've had sex more then anyone could even think about.. What do you mean, you're not ready." He continued, I wanted to cry, I felt like he was pushing me, and he was in a way, he just didn't know it. If the tears fell I know that he would know he took it too far.

"Liam, I don't want to talk about this, Emma's sleeping." I said getting out of bed, quickly pulling my shirt down as it rode up, trying to make my way out of the room so I could go see me baby girl.

"So that's what this is about?" Liam questions, catching me by the wrist before I could leave the room. "You're afraid of what I'll think of you when I see you without clothes on. Which explains why you're sleeping with a shirt on, it's certainly not because you're cold." He furrows his brow.

"Liam, just drop it." I plead, just waning to go to Emma's room. Liam pulls me further into the room, and shuts the door behind up.

He lets go of my wrist, and presses his back up against the door, so I couldn't leave. "Take your shirt off." He says making me stare at his in shock.

"What?" I ask in disbelief.

"Take your shirt off. Neither one of us is seeing Emma till you do." He said, finally a tear slipping down my cheek.

"No, Liam, stop." I said, feeling completely humiliated.

"Don't cry, Niall, it's not going to help you." He said. I wiped my tears, only to have them replaced my new ones. I turned around and ran to the bathroom, slamming the door as hard as I could and locking it. Shortly after I heard Emma's gurgles through the baby monitor. "Good job, Niall, you woke her up." I hear Liam say through the door. I sigh, putting my head in my hands as I hear her begin to cry. Opening the door, I look to Liam.

"Liam, please, let me see if she's okay." I plead as her once soft cried turned to screaming.

"No." Was all he said. I tried pushing him out of the way, but he didn't budge.

"Move!" I yelled. "I need to check on her, what if she hurts herself from crying to hard?" I ask, still trying to get past Liam. He cries only seem to get louder and louder. All of a sudden the screams stop, I can see the worry on Liam's face. "Liam, please." I beg, grabbing onto Liam's face. He quickly opens the door, and runs to Emma's room, me following right behind. When we get there we see Emma on her back. "Is she sleeping?" I ask as Liam moves in to check on her. He picks her up and sighs.

"Yeah." He says, gently putting her back down. I sigh in relief, sliding down the wall. "I'm sorry." He says, coming to sit next to me.

"It's okay." I shrug, not really knowing what else to do.

"I just wanted you to take off your shirt so I could tell you how beautiful you were. You know I'll always find you beautiful. I love everything about you. I don't care if you have a little fat on you. I think you're perfect anyway you are." Liam whispered. I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I know. It just I get a bit self conscious, you know." I said, Liam nods understanding.

"Yeah. Before my plan went haywire I was going to have you take your shirt off and then throw you on the bed and serenade you with my mouth." He chuckled. I laughed as well, getting up, I hold my empty hands out to him.

"Let's get going then, Mr. Payne. You've got work tomorrow." I smile. Liam's plan is just what we did plus a little more, and it was perfect.
