Niall's secret child

63

I wrote this chapter while on my lunch break at work because I was bored. I felt like doing a chapter in Luke's  POV so we could get to know him a little better. I hope you enjoy reading. I love any feedback so feel free to comment or send me a private message. :)

* Luke's POV *

I let out a groan as someone started shaking my shoulder "five more minuets" I mumble as I roll over, the person who was trying to wake me up chuckled before slapping my bare back lightly but I still let out a groan because their hand was cold. "Luke semi wake up for second please" I hear Charlie ask nicely, I let out my third groan of the morning and open my eyes to see my elder sister standing there with my nephew on her hip in his diaper. "I need to go do something's and Atticus will just make it difficult. I'll take baby but can you watch him today?"

Me being in my tired state I only understood 'watch him'. I blink at Charlie before burying my head back into my pillow. "C'mon Luke please?" Charlie pleads, I nod my head once and I hear her sigh in relief. I feel the bed dip a little bit so I lift my head up to see that Charlie had placed Atticus down on the bed beside me. I give him a tired smile which he didn't return, instead he got comfortable before closing his eyes. "Take him wherever you go and I left a card on the bench for you" I nod and place head back down on the pillow beside Atty's. "Thank you, love you" Charlie says softly as she kisses both mine and Atty's heads. "Bye" I mumble before going back to sleep.

I think I managed to get another two hours of sleep before I started to feel someone poking my cheek. I remember that Charlie had left Atticus with me so it could only be him poking me. I open my eyes tiredly and look at the three year old that was staring up at the roof, while sucking on his thumb and poking my cheek. "Hey buddy" I say softly making his head shoot over to look at me. He grins at me and stops poking my cheek "Lukey" I chuckle and brush his hair away from his eyes before reaching over him and grabbed my phone off charge to see the time was 10:12am.

"Are you hungry?" I question the child who nods his head and began mumbling random things to himself. "Stay here and I'll get dressed" Atticus nods so I throw the blanket off me before getting out of the bed. Charlie and Niall had let me have the room down in the basement which I thought was pretty cool because I had so much space to myself. I place my phone down on the bed before walking over to the chested draws where I grab out an outfit for the day before walking out to the bathroom. After having a quick shower to wake myself up I get dressed in the clothes I brought in, brushed my teeth and applied deodorant so I wouldn't smell before walking back into my bedroom to see Atty was still in the same position I left him. At least the kid listens.

I grab my phone and put it in my pocket before lifting Atticus off the bed and into my arms. "Let's go get some food" I tell him as we exit the room. "Ooh I have chocolate?" He questions as we make our way upstairs. He couldn't quite say chocolate right but I still understood it. "I don't think your mum would let me" I tell him once we got to the top of the stairs. "But she's not here" Atticus informs me making me chuckle. "You're right. Let's both have chocolate" i say making Atticus squeal in joy. I chuckle and carry him into the kitchen where I place him down on the counter before raiding the fridge and pantry but ended up empty handed.

"There is none Atticus" I tell him as I turn to face him. The three year old pouts and crosses his arms across his chest. "How about we have something else?" I suggest and he shakes his head. "I want chocolate" I frown and nod my head, I also want chocolate, it's the only thing that seems appealing at the moment. I let out a sigh and walk over to where a credit card was sitting to see it was in my name, I raise an eyebrow and lift it up. There was a note under it from Charlie saying "don't be stupid or I'll take it away" I grin and mentally tell my sister that I love her before turning to my nephew who was still sulking.

"How about we go to the store and buy some chocolate" Atticus perks up before nodding his head eagerly. "Yes" I chuckle and ruffle his hair. "Alright, but we have to get you dressed first" Atticus nods and reaches out to me. I lift him up and carry him upstairs to his bedroom where I change him from his diaper not really knowing what I was doing before putting a pull up on him followed by some clothes, I made sure he was nice and bundled up so I wouldn't get yelled at for giving him frostbite. "You have to tell me if you get cold alright?" I tell Atticus as I adjust his beanie. He nods and tries to reach into his bed for his pacifier but couldn't reach so I grab it for him "thank you" I smile and lift him up into my arms before carrying him downstairs. I grab my wallet and slip the card in there before putting it into my pocket. "Ready to go?" Atticus nods so I grab the spare house keys before walking out of the house, making sure to lock the door once we were out.

I'm so glad that I bundled Atticus up because it was so cold outside, I was wearing jeans and a hoody and I was still a little chilly. "Are you cold?" I question Atticus who shakes his head before placing it down on my shoulder "good" I mumble to myself before heading to the corner shop I had seen while Jason crazily drove me to Charlie's house yesterday. The store was a few blocks away but it would probably only take us fifteen minuets to get there.

I let out a sigh of relief when I see the house coming up in the distance. Atticus and I had spent the entire day out exploring and because I don't really like public transport we walked everywhere, well I did while carrying Atticus. It was probably 6 in the evening now and I was absolutely knackered. I look down slightly at Atticus who had passed out not to long ago clutching his new stuffed monkey that we got from the Toy Store. Atticus had begged me for five minuets to go in and I had finally given in.

I finally reach the house and both cars were in the driveway meaning Niall and Charlie were home. I walk up the driveway to the front door and before I could even pull the keys out of my pocket the front door was pulled open. Charlie gave me a smile before she gently took Atticus from my arms and took him upstairs. I shut the front door and take my shoes off before walking into the living room to see Niall sitting on the couch holding Toby while watching a live football match being played on the TV.

I take a seat on the recliner and recline it before curling into a ball and began watching the game. Niall knew I was here but chose not to say anything probably because he noticed I was knackered and didn't want to talk. I don't know how much longer I stayed awake but I'm sure it wasn't long before I was passed out.
