You And I

Chapter 24:

Syd:

I woke up and the sun was shining through the window in our bedroom. I stretched and looked at the clock, it was 8 in the morning. I smiled knowing I got a good night at sleep. I walked out and Niall was sitting on the couch with Ben. I smiled as I saw them cuddled up to each other watching Ben's favorite show, Paw Patrol. Niall and I have watched it so much that we know the theme song and have episodes on our phones so when he gets fussy we can calm him down.

I walked over and Ben was giggling as Marshal, not sad I know the names, falls onto the rest of the pets getting into the elevator *A/N Yes I have seen the show before and no it does not bother me that I am 16 and somewhat enjoy watching this show... Judge Me!* Niall smiled at me as I sat down. "How did you sleep?" He asked. "Amazing." I said. "Good because you slept for almost 2 days." He said.

My mouth fell open and I looked at him like you're kidding right? "No I'm not lying to you, you did sleep for almost 2 days." He said as I took Ben and kissed Niall. "Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked. "You were up for three days strait almost 4 you needed the sleep." Niall said kissing my forehead.

"I'm gonna go make breakfast, little man surprisingly hasn't ate yet and neither have I." He said and that made me almost have a heart attack, Niall not eat? I put Ben in his pack n play and went to the kitchen with Niall. "How about we get a break from taking care of Ben. I can call my mom. She loves having him over there, she actually turned my old room into his room." I said as Niall turned to look at me.

"I thought your mom was still back in Ireland?" He said.

"Actually she moved out here when I did. I stayed with her for like a year and then I moved out on my own and that wasn't even on my own because I lived with Erica." I said as he just nodded.

"Sure, we can send him to grandma's then." He said.

I walked out of the kitchen and picked Ben up to put him in his highchair. "Hey Benny, you wanna go to grandmas?" I asked and he giggled and nodded. Only my boy. I fed him while Niall made him and I pancakes. After Ben was fed I took him upstairs to get dressed and to pack clothes for grandmas. I let him help me pick out clothes and we packed them in the bag before I put his outfit on him. I put a bib on him and when I walked downstairs Niall already had food out for me to put in the diaper bag to take over. I had texted my mom while we were upstairs and she said it was fine. My mom still doesn't know that it's Niall's kid she thinks I'm still not talking to Niall and that I met someone else, so that's why I'm forcing Niall to go with us.

I grabbed my car keys and took Ben and his bag out to the car. I put him in his car seat and gave him is toys. I got in the car right as Niall came outside and locked the door. He got in and we were off for the 20 minuet drive to my moms house. When we got there my mom was sitting on the porch on her glider with my father while they drank coffee. They have always been morning people, which I don't understand because I hate the morning, well I did before I had Ben.

I got out and went to see them while Niall got Ben out of the car and all his stuff. "Good morning." My mother said her accent still thick.

"Good morning." I said kissing her cheek and then hugging my dad.

Niall walked up on the porch holding Ben and his bag and my mother gasped and nearly dropped her mug. "What's wrong sweetie?" My dad asked. My dad had this thing where he knew Ben was Niall's the whole time and he tried to tell my mom but she wouldn't believe it because I never said so.

"Ben looks just like Niall." She said looking at me.

"That's because Ben is Niall's" I said with a smile.

"I thought you two weren't talking." She said as I took Ben in my arms.

"Well we started talking again and we fixed things and now we're together." I said.

"Well you could have at least told me Ben was his, even if you weren't together. I'm just happy I have a grandchild, and a very handsome grandson at that." She said taking Ben from me. He giggled.

"His favorite show hasn't changed and if that's not on he will settle for anything else, but if it's on don't take him away from the tv. He does need a bath and I brought food and everything for him. He has bottles in here along with formula, so you should be set." I said.

"Like you actually needed to bring that stuff, you know we keep stuff for him on hand." She said.

"I know but I feel bad that you guys spend your money on getting things for my child." I said.

"We're retired, what else would we do besides spoil our grandchild." My mom said.

After talking for a little longer we said our good byes and then headed home. As soon as we shut the door and walked to the couch we both sat down and sighed. It was nice to know we didn't have to take care of him, but it was going to be boring without him here.
