#24: Your Child Gets Hurt - niall-perfection

Harry: “Aiden get away from there!” Harry yelled as he lay flat out on the sun lounger by the pool. You opened your eyes, adjusting them to the blazing sunlight that blinded you. Tilting your head to Harry, you could see he looked tense and nervous as your 5 year old son raced around the edges of the swimming pool freely. Aiden ignored Harry, darting around and chasing his friends by the pool. Suddenly a piecing scream came from a few yards away, a familiar one. Panicking you shot your eyes open yet again, seeing Harry fly off the sun lounger, rushing to your son who lay on the floor crying. Your heart pounded hard, leaping off the lounger, you were soon by Harry’s side trying to aid your son. Harry lifted him into his arms, pulling him close to his chest and taking him over to the lounger to inspect his wounds. You followed, kneeling beside Aiden and wiping away stray tears from his eyes, as Harry searched for any injuries frantically. He let out a sigh of relief, Aiden was fine, nothing too serious. “Now, no more running for you” Harry said sternly to Aiden who had stopped crying. You laughed at how panicky Harry was at times.

Liam: You and Liam snuggled warmly on the sofa as the frosty snow began to settle outside. You were watching Love Actually, it was your favourite film and Liam had put it on for a treat. Outside, you could hear your 6 year old daughter screaming and laughing with her friends. Without warning the door suddenly burst open, your son Cameron dashed in pulling Liam’s arm frantically. “DAD, DAD LUCIE FELL OVER, COME QUICK” he yelled, dragging Liam quickly. Liam shot up racing outside, you paused the movie, walking over to the window to see what was happening. Lucie lay in the snow, screaming and crying and Liam lifted her up taking her inside and sitting her on the sofa. She was still crying her eyes out, Liam and you tried to reassure her, but nothing would work. You sauntered into the kitchen, pulling out a First Aid Kit and tossing it to Liam. “Look all better” Liam smiled at Lucie, who rubbed her eyes and looked down at her knees which had been taken care of. Liam stroked her hair softly, kissing her forehead and rolling her sweatpants back down her legs. Taking her hands he helped her up onto her feet. “Now be careful” He laughed, ruffling her hair before she dived back outside to her friends in the snow.

Louis: “Lou be careful” You laughed from the kitchen as you prepared lunch, watching your boyfriend and your son run through the garden chasing each other. Jaden was only two, so Louis had to run pretty slow anyway. Jaden ran, screaming out his lungs as his dad ran after him, until suddenly he tripped over his own feet, face planting the grass. “Jaden!” You yelped as you felt his pain. Louis quickly grabbed him into his arms, cuddling him tightly to soothe his cries. He walked around the garden with him, to calm him down. When Jaden had stopped, Louis sat him on the floor. “Look Jaden, daddy can fall over too!” He gasped, diving onto the floor and imitating Jaden. Jaden giggled, jumping on top of Louis and demanding a piggy back ride.

Niall: “Go on Maddie!” Niall chanted as your twins Maddie and Ruben hosted a play boxing fight in the back yard. Niall encouraged it, but it wasn’t really your thing. Niall said it was only play fights, so nobody would actually get hurt, but you didn’t see it that way. Ruben suddenly lunged at Maddie, and for a seven year old it was quite hard. She fell to the floor grasping her cheek and screaming. Ruben looked down at his sister, quite shocked to what he had done. “Ruben!” Niall gasped, running over to Maddie and crouching by her side. “That wasn’t gentle Ruben!” Niall yelled at your traumatised son, he obviously felt bad. You ran outside to assess the situation. Niall pulled Maddie onto his knee, stroking her cheek gently soothing her. “I’ll get some ice” You gasped frantically as you began to see the bruising on her cheek. “Shh shh” Niall soothed her, hugging her tightly. You quickly ran back outside clutching an ice pack firmly and handing it to Niall. He glared at Ruben who glanced down at the floor regretfully. “Got anything to say for yourself?” Niall questioned Ruben dryly. “Niall, Ruben isn’t to blame, I’ve told you before that I don’t like this game, if you encourage it, it’s your fault, you should know better” You lectured him as you reassuringly placed your hands on Rubens shoulders. Niall looked up, he felt the guilt electrify through his body and he gripped Maddie tighter, pressing the ice pack onto her swollen cheek. “Sorry pal” He mumbled quietly to Ruben, who turned back to you and smiled.

Zayn: Carter wailed loudly from the back of the house and you jumped up to your feet in a matter of seconds, racing to see what the noise was about. You pushed his bedroom door open frantically, the noise had died down and you saw Zayn sat on the chair in the corner, clutching Carter on his knee. His head burrowed into Zayn’s chest as he sang a song quietly to soothe him. “What happened?!” You asked, breaking the tranquillity. Zayn looked up to you, as did Carter. “You fell off your bed didn’t you?” Zayn pouted, looking down at a tearful Carter who nodded quickly. You smiled at them both, not wanting to break the moment you left the room, letting Zayn carry on singing to him peacefully.
