Take Me || Niam

Chapter Forty Eight

Niall's P.O.V

Liam woke me up and I groaned loudly. "Go away." I grumbled swatting at his hands that were gently shaking at my shoulder.

"C'mon Ni, get up." He chuckled, pulling the covers back. I shivered pulling my knees up into my chest after rolling over onto my side. I threw my right arm over my eyes to shield them from the excruciating light. It wasn't actually that bad, I just like to exaggerate. That and my eyes were, long ago, adjusted to the dark.

"What time is it?" I groaned, not even bothering to open my eyes.

"Four in the morning." He stated simply. My eyes shoot open as I stare at him in bewilderment.

"Jesus Liam, why on earth are you waking me up right now?" I groaned in annoyance.

"You'll find out later. But now I need you to take a shower so we can go." Liam smiled, leaning down to kiss my forehead. I looked him over and saw he was freshly showered and dressed in a nice black shirt with the sleeves rolled up to him elbows and a pair of black slim fitted slacks.

"Where are we going?" I asked, slowly getting up. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes the best I could while Liam moved to the closet pulling out a set of clothes for me.

"You'll figure that out the sooner you get ready." He smiled as I sluggishly moved to the bathroom. I slowly peal off my clothing before turning on the water. While waiting for in the heat up Liam pops in and gives me a towel and underwear. I jump in surprise as Liam lightly slaps my bum, kissing the back of my neck. "I love you." He whispered, and before I could even say anything back he was out the door and moving off to somewhere else in the house.

I pulled on the hoodie and joggers Liam laid out for me before exiting the bathroom. Honestly how does he set out these clothes for me but he's off somewhere in the house dressed like a fucking god. "Liam?" I called out softly, noticing he wasn't in the room.

"Emma's room." He called from down the hall. I walked over seeing him pull Emma's diaper bag onto his shoulder along with another bag.

"What's that?" I ask, as I look down to Emma. She stared at Liam and I with her big blue eyes. I picked her up, holding her to my hip. She was still sleepy, as her head instantly dropped to my shoulder.

"It's a bag for Emma, were dropping her of at me parents." Liam said smiling.

"What?" I ask alarmed, scaring Emma out of her sleep as she jolts up. I shush her back to bed and soon she's sleeping again.

"You and I are going away for a few days while Emma and Cooper go to my parents house." Liam said as he shut off the lights and began to walk down stairs. I followed closely behind him.

"What? No. We can't just drop off Emma and Cooper." I argued. Liam chuckled making me frown, "what?" I questioned.

"You referred to Cooper as if he was our son." Liam smiled looking at my distraught facial expression.

"He is our son." I frown, being completely honest.

"I know love. But really I already talked about it with my parents and they were looking forward to having Emma and Cooper. Even your parents are coming up for a couple days later in the week." He said trying to convince me.

"Where are we even going?" I ask, trying to picture the idea of not being with Emma 24/7.

"All in good time my love." Liam smiled, kissing my cheek. I gave him an unconvincing look. "Ni, I promise my parents are okay with watching Emma. She said she'd call us if anything were to happen. And with FaceTime and that kinda stuff, it'll be like we haven't even left her." He said. I released a small nod telling him I was on bored with the idea.
