Hush Now
Harry: Harry just pulled into the car parking spot at the airport, your 3 year old daughter Amy was sitting in the back looking very sullen. "Amy baby, we're here." She pouted out, "Noooo, I don't want daddy to leave." You could see her eyes start to well with tears. Harry shoulders tensed and his hands gripped the steering wheel. "Amy, you know daddy needs to go but he'll be back." You got out of the car and opened her door, unbuckling her seat and lifting her into your arms as she put her face straight to your neck and cried. Harry got out and retrieved his luggage from the back and waited for you to shut the door as he locked it. With your right hand in his left and his right hand wheeling his luggage you walked into the airport as a united front and a crying little girl in your arms. You made your way to the check in desk where all the boys and their families were waiting in a group and at this stage Amy was inconsolable. Harry took her from your arms and she sobbed harder. "Daddy ... Don-n't leave meeee." You could see Harry start to choke up. "You know daddy would never leave you sweetie. I love you too much." She lifted her tear stained face up, "Then why are you going?" He kissed her tears. "It's for work sweetie, but you and mummy will come and visit me soon." She held up her pinkie finger. "Pinkie promise." Harry chuckled and hooked his finger around hers. "Pinkie promise."
Liam: Liam was outside with your 6 year old son Levi teaching him how to ride a bike, they had been out there for a good hour when you heard this blood curdling scream from out the front. You were up off the couch in record time to see Liam rushing over to your son who had fallen off his bike and was lying on the floor wailing. Once Liam was there he was in his arms in an instant and you were there a moment later. "Hey my handsome man, what happened?" You asked Levi. But he was crying too hard to respond. Liam being the doting father he is, was trying his best to hush his son. "You my strong man were doing so well ... you know lets go inside and I'll get you fixed up." Levi just held his father tighter as Liam pushed his way up and headed inside. "Daddy, it hurts." Liam rubbed his back. "I know it does bud but you will be as good as new soon." You grabbed the bike and put it into the garage. As you walked inside there was Levi sitting on the chair with his pant leg rolled up and Liam with a band-aid being placed on Levi's knee. Once it was on his wound Liam kissed the band-aid. "There you go bud, good as new." Levi looked at his wound. "Daddy, when can we go riding again?" Liam laughed at his son. "We can go riding again tomorrow." Levi smiled brightly. "Sounds good daddy. Can we watch a movie now?" Liam ruffled his hair. "Of course we can."
Louis: You swear you had been asleep for mere seconds when you heard the cries of your 8 month old daughter Ava. You rolled over in bed hoping Louis could get her but his side of the bed was cold with the covers pushed back slightly. You got out of bed and walked down the hall closer to Ava's room where the cries were getting louder. "Shhhhhh baby girl ... I know you're hurting." You stood in the door way as Ava was being rocked by Louis. "How's she doing hun?" Louis turned around and there you saw dark circles under his eyes and a defeated posture all because he couldn't comfort his precious baby girl. "She's so sick and the medicine doesn't appear to be working." You walked over and kissed Ava's chubby check. "We'll give it till lunch time and if there is nothing better we can go back to the doctors." Ava started howling even louder and Lou placed Ava's head on his left shoulder. "Come on baby girl, daddy's trying his best." Louis rubbed her back softly as his eyes started watering . "Lou you need to get some sleep, I can take her." He shook his head. "I won't be able to sleep knowing she's in pain." You rubbed Louis' back in comfort. "You're an amazing father." You kissed his shoulder blade. "Looks like we'll be having a long sleepless night."
Niall: "Dad... Dad... " You heard your 3 year old son Ben call out on Niall's side of the bed. "... Daddy wake up." You could feel Niall sit up and face your son. "What's wrong little man?" You could hear the sniffles from your son. "There's monsters daddy and I'm scared." You felt the bed move and a wiggly little boy slip between you and Niall. You turned to face the most important men in your life. Ben's arms were wrapped around Niall's neck and you could hear small whimpers leaving his mouth. Your eyes meet Niall's sad eyes. "Hush now. What do you want daddy to do?" Ben looked into his fathers droopy eyes. "I just want to have cuddles with you daddy. I miss you when you go. And mummy can't scare away the monsters like you do." You smile at your husbands lazy smile. "You can sleep here with daddy and mummy but just for tonight. And in the morning I will scare away the monsters and we can spend the day together." Niall kissed Ben's forhead. "Sounds good... " Ben's hand clutched Niall's shirt. "... Night daddy." Niall pulled the covers up over their bodies. "Goodnight buddy. I love you so much... " At this Niall entwined his fingers with yours. "... I love you love, goodnight." You closed your eyes and snuggled back into the bed with your family.
Zayn: "Dad ... Daddy!" You heard the alarm in your 17 year old daughter Kacey's voice and the slam of the front door. Zayn was up and alert running towards your daughter in an instant. You could hear the sobs coming from your daughter as you rounded the corner, Zayn had her in his embrace and was soothingly rubbing circles into her back. "What happened my love?" Kacey lifted her head from her fathers shoulder. "He broke up with me daddy." He caught her falling tears in his hand. "Hush now love, he has no idea what he's missing." She pushed Zayn away from her. "But what did I do wrong daddy? Was I not enough for him? Am I not pretty enough?" At that she crumbled onto the floor and Zayn rushed to pick her up off the floor. "You are the prettiest girl in the entire world to me and there is a guy out in the world just for you and he's whole world will begin and end with you." You connected your eyes with Zayn's. "Lacey hun, he was a fool to let you go and your dad's right. You just have to be patient and most importantly be yourself and the guy of your dreams will be there to sweep you off your feet." She bit her bottom lip and snuggled further into her fathers embrace. "Just hold me please daddy." Zayn kissed her temple and continued to rock her. "Of course love." You left them to it knowing for her, her fathers comfort was something she needed to feel better.
