I groan as my alarm on my phone sounded throughout my bedroom. I hear somebody beside me groan which made me shoot my eyes open and turn around and sigh because it was just Niall laying there. Last night after Niall had kissed me we just hugged and comforted each other before falling asleep in each other's arms just like we used to when we were younger. "Niall" I say as I shake his shoulder a little bit, he hummed and rolled over and grabbed my phone from the bedside table and turned my alarm off before rolling back over so his chest was facing me.

"Why do we have to get up this early?" He asked groggily as I wrap my arms around his bare waist and hugged him. "You're the one who booked our flight for four thirty in the morning" I say with a little giggle which made him groan. "I only wanted it this early so Atticus would sleep most of the flight" Niall admitted which made me smile. "I think we should get up and get our stuff" Niall nodded and rolled out of my bed before helping me out as well. "I'm going to have a quick shower" Niall nodded and walked out of my bedroom, shutting the door quietly behind himself. I gather a comfy outfit for the long plane ride before heading into the bathroom where I had a quick shower to freshen up before getting dressed.

I walk out of the bathroom and walk over to my packed suitcase where I put my toiletries in before grabbing my phone, charger and headphones before picking the suitcase up and wheeled it out of my bedroom. I take it downstairs before walking back upstairs to Atticus' bedroom to see he was still sound asleep cuddled up to his soft animals which made me smile. I pull my phone out of my sweat pocket and snapped a picture of him before putting my phone away. I check his suitcase to make sure I had everything he'd need before I carried it downstairs to see Niall was just putting his bag down on the ground.

"Do you want to get food at the airport?" Niall question and I nodded my head and looked at the clock on the wall "we better heed off" Niall nodded and unlocked the front door. "You get Atty, I'll take everything to the car" I nod and quickly kiss him on the cheek before rushing upstairs to Atticus' bedroom. I was planning on keeping him in his pj's so this was going to be easy. I walk over to the bed and lift my little man out of the bed and wrap his favourite blue blankie around him before leaning down to grab his Nemo soft toy before carrying him downstairs, making sure to be extra careful so he wouldn't wake up.

The front door was still open so I step outside into the cold air and shiver even though I was covered, I wrap the blanket tighter around Atticus because he was only wearing a diaper and a long sleeve t-shirt that was slightly too big. I walk over to the car that Niall had just finished packing our bags into the back and open the back door and carefully lift Atticus into his car seat and buckle him in. I tuck his Nemo toy under his arm and kiss his head before quietly shutting the car door. "You look beautiful" I jump as Niall whispered that into my ear and wrapped his arms around me. He chuckled and spun me around in his arms so I was now facing him.

"Thank you" I blush as I look up at him slightly since he was slightly taller. "I really want to kiss you right now" Niall murmured as his eyes trailed down to my lips. "Do it then" I reply softly, his eyes came back to my eyes and questioned me just by looking at me and I nod my head as I bite my lip. Niall didn't waste any more time and connected my lips to his. I reach up and wrap my arms around his neck and play with the little hairs on his neck as the kiss got a little heated. We soon break apart for air and we both just stand there in each other's arms catching our breath.

"I love you" Niall whispers "I love you too" I say as I reach up and peck him on the lips before getting out of his arms and open the passenger side door and climb in, I put my head out and stick my tongue out at Niall who still stood in the same spot where I had left him, he looked at me and chuckled before walking around to the other side of the car and climbed in as I pulled my door shut quietly. I turn around in my seat to glance at Atticus to see he had adjusted a little so his head was leaning on the side of his car seat as he suckled on his pacifer. I turn back around and buckle myself in as Niall started the car and reversed out of the driveway and headed to the airport.

I walk off the plane with Atticus in my arms who was acting really grumpy, I could understand why though because I was also grumpy. Our flight was just over 11 hours and then for some unknown reason we had to sit on the plane for another hour once we had landed here at LAX. It was hard to control Atticus who just wanted to get off the plane and run around to let his energy out but that wasn't happening until we reached the hotel. The three of us try and get through customs and security as quick as possible and get our bags before walking out of the airport.

Niall had hired a car with a car seat in it so we walk over to it and and Niall unlocks it with the keys he had received from the front counter of the airport and while he put our bags in the back I buckle Atticus in before climbing into the passenger seat. I buckle myself in before putting my head against the window before closing my eyes hoping to drift off to some much needed sleep. A little while later I feel a hand on my thigh and then it was being squeezed a little bit. I open my eyes to see Niall was looking at me.

"Do you want anything to eat?" Niall questions as he motions towards Starbucks that we were parked out the front of. "Mhmm I want a brownie and coffee" he nodded and climbed out of the car before walking inside. I turn around in my seat to see Atticus was looking at me with a little frown on his face. "What's wrong baby?" I ask softly "cuddle?" He questions "just until daddy comes back" he nods so I undo my seat belt and reach back and unbuckle him from the car seat before placing him down in my lap and cuddled my baby boy as he told me a story.

"Really the dinosaur did that?" I ask my baby in shock, he looked up at me and nodded his head with a serious expression on his face. "Yeah, and then he walk over the house and beat the dragon" Atticus finished his story "oh wow, that poor dragon" I say with a pout "no no no, the dragon was a bad one" Atticus said as he shook his head at me "how was he bad?" I question "he would blow fire on everything, killing people" I gasp out in shock "that's naughty" Atticus nodded his head at me "yeah he was a naughty dragon, that's why he got beat" Atticus said as Niall pulled the car door open and sat down in his seat.

"What are you doing up here ya little monster?" Niall questioned our boy as he tickled his bare feet. "Telling mumma story" Atticus giggled as he tucked his feet up so Niall couldn't get at them. "Oh wow. What was it about?" Niall asks Atticus who began to tell his story over again. I take my coffee from Niall and take a sip before putting it in the cup holder before searching for my brownie which I soon find and begin to eat to satisfy my need for chocolate. Atticus had just finished telling his story to Niall and Niall looked shocked, I smile because he is such a great daddy and I can't thank him enough for that.
