Niall's P.O.V

I sighed as I watched Liam and Soph sit of the floor, Liam playing with her as Emma tried to get his attention by grabbing at his clothes and crawling into his lap. He clearly wasn't paying any attention to her and honestly it pissed me off. Sophia's been here for two days and she'll be here for another three. I know Liam loves her and hasn't seen her in a long time and all but ever since shes gotten here all he's done is ignore Emma. I walked over to the three and quickly picked up Emma as she started to fuss. It's about time for her afternoon nap. I grab her bringing her to her room and giving her a bottle that I had warmed up not too long ago. I waited until she was asleep to head back downstairs. Liam and Soph sat of the couch, Sophia laid out and sleeping. Cooper was up in Emma's room with her as always. Whenever Emma was asleep you could count on Cooper to be near by.

"Hey, Ni." Liam smiled up at me.

"Hey." I sigh as I go to sit next to him pulling my knees up close to me.

"You okay?" He asks, moving in closer to me. He hands grabbed my own in a reassuring way.

"No." I whisper shaking my head. I never thought I'd be so jealous of a little girl. Especially one that I adored not even a couple years ago. I just felt as though Liam wasn't showing Emma any attention as long as Sam's little girl was here.

"What's wrong?" Liam turned to me and frowned.

"You've been ignoring Emma ever since Sophia got here." I just up and said it, not wanting to beat around the bush. Liam looked at me in surprise.

"Niall, I haven't seen her since I've been in LA which was like a year ago." He frowned and then I felt guilty. I know that he hasn't seen her in a year but he still talks to her three times a week via FaceTime.

"I know, I just.." I said trailing off beginning to tear up. "Never mind." I whispered as I moved to get up.

"No, Niall not never mind. What were you going to say?" He asked as he got up as well. I grabbed his hand and led him to the kitchen not wanting to wake the little girl up.

"I don't know Liam. My emotions have been all over the place lately. Ever since around my suit fitting I've been on edge." I sighed, leaning forward and resting my head against his chest.

"Are you nervous about the wedding? Or was it Emma turning one? Maybe both?" He asked, hand rubbing soothingly at my lower back as he brought me in for a hug.

"I don't know? Maybe both." I said sniffling. I tensed up at some other things I've been recently experiencing. I pulled away and looked at Liam with wide eyes.

"What?" He asks, holding my face in his hands. I got a bit choked up and quickly wiped away the few tears that had fallen. It made logical sense. I was experiencing all the same symptoms. The weak bladder, nausea, tiredness, light-headedness, mood swings. This is what happened last time, but when did it happen this time? I think back on the recent time we've had sex. It had to have been when we were in Finland. I smiled slightly thinking back to the day. "Niall, what's wrong? You're starting to freak me out." He said frantically, searching my eyes.
