*Jane's POV
"Are you just gonna stand there and gape, or are you going to help?" I joked with Niall as he watched me put Elodie in her car seat in the car.
"Yeah, sorry, just got caught up in your sexiness."
I rolled my eyes and snapped the last buckle before I climbed in to sit next to her. Niall shut the door and walked to the drivers seat.
"Are we just going to your apartment then?" Niall asked, starting the car he had rented.
I nodded and looked back down to my baby as Niall pulled out of the parking lot. I reached down to put my finger into El's hand, her little fingers wrapping around mine. She is so tiny and pure, unaware of the things going on around her. Born into a world where her parents aren't even married and haven't seen each other in months. I don't even know what to call me and Niall. I mean, yes, we did profess our love for each other in the hospital, but we hadn't discussed anything. I don't want my baby to grow up only seeing her dad every few months, she wouldn't even know him. I don't want for her to have to think that her daddy doesn't love because he's always gone. I don't want her to have to see him on every tabloid. I want to give her everything, and that includes a mom and dad that love her unconditionally.
"Whachya thinking about princess?" Niall got my attention, looking into the rear view mirror.
I smiled at the nickname, he would always call me that, "Nothing."
He grinned and turned his eyes back to the road. We drove in a comfortable silence all the way back to my humble abode. Every once in a while, Elodie would squeak and momentarily open her eyes before falling back to sleep. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I'd had a baby with my teenage celebrity crush. Absolutely mad.
We pulled up to my apartment complex. Niall this time helped me get her out and bring her to the door. I was far too weak to carry a car seat yet. I pulled out my key and put it in the lock. Sadie was at work, so she wouldn't be here. I pushed the door open and walked in, taking a breath of relief. That's when I almost had a heart attack.
People jumped out from behind the couches and yelled 'Welcome Home!'. Then Elodie started crying. I chuckled a bit as I went to to get ther from her car seat. Everyone was here; the boys- Louis, Liam, Zayn, and Harry. Even El, Sophia, and Perrie had come, how sweet! Sadie was also there, smiling like an idiot in the corner. Zayn was the first to approach me.
"Is this her?"
I bobbed my head up and down as the baby in my arms started to calm down, "This is Elodie Grace Horan."
"Can I hold her?" Zayn asked.
He held his arms out to the baby. I gently placed Elodie in his arms. Zayn was beaming from ear to ear.
"Wow. She's gorgeous. It's weird to think that one of us is a parent now," he began to sway, bouncing lightly.
"I know, we all thought that you and Perrie were gonna be the first, you guys can't keep your hands to yourselves," Louis joked, coming up behind Zayn to observe the baby in his arms.
"Holy crap, she's so tiny! And cute! How did you get this precious little girl when you mixed with the genetics of Niall Horan?!" Liam chimed in.
Niall just sat on the couch as they all poked fun at him, crossing his arms in a very immature manner. I laughed a bit as Liam and Louis crowded around Zayn, watching the baby sleep in his arms. Louis reached down to touch the skin on the back of her hand.
"Let me hold my niece," Liam chided at Zayn.
I tried to hide my smile at what Liam called her. It was adorable to watch any of the boys with kids. I can't wait to see what Niall will be like with her, and if I'm lucky, more one day. Speak of that, I needed to have a talk with Niall, alone.
"Hey, Niall, will you come with me? I need to talk to you," I gestured to the room.
All the boys oohed as he stood up. like little school boys when someone gets in trouble. Niall followed me to my room where Elodie's bed had been set up.
"Woah, this where you live?" Niall asked.
I nodded and plopped down on the small bed. Niall sat next to me and took my hand. He rubbed it soothingly with his thumb and looked into my eyes.
"What's the matter, princess?"
I gazed down at our intertwined hands and shook my head, feeling as the tears began to slip from my face, "Niall, what are we?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what are we doing? are we going to get back together? Are you just going to go back to London? What's going to happen with Elodie and I? Is she even going to know her real father? Is-"
He cut off my rambling, "Jane, shh. it's okay. I'll be whatever you want me to be. I'll be your loving companion. I'll be there for my little girl, always, so never doubt that. She will know her dad. Because I'm never leaving. Her or her mother. I'm here to stay."
"Well what do I do? Am I moving back to London with you?" I questioned.
He nodded excitedly, "I wouldn't want anything else more."
I stared into his eyes. He seemed genuine. He wanted me to be with him, and have a little family. I threw my arms around his neck and squeezed him. He laughed and snaked his arms around me also. I was crying.
"Cheer up princess, I'll always be your knight in shining armor," he murmured as he closed the small gap between up and kissed me gently and sweetly.
