Niall Horan Child Preferences Book 2

#31 The twins start teething

Your POV

Stressed. One word to describe how I'm feeling. Im stressed, Niall's stressed. Our 4 month old twins , Ethan and Aaliyah just won't stop crying and we have no idea why.

"It's a good job we live in a detached house" I sighed as I tried to calm Aaliyah and Niall agreed trying to calm Ethan down.

"Should I ask my mum? See if she has any idea as to why they won't stop crying" Niall said. "Hopefully she'll know, I cannot deal with this any longer" I sighed rocking Aaliyah.

Niall's POV

I gave Ethan to y/n and left the room so my mum would actually be able to hear me when I'm talking to her. I clicked on her contact and after two rings she answered

N-Niall m-Maura

M- Hello Niall, how are you? Is that the babies crying?

N-I'm good just a little stressed and that is the babies crying, I need your help

M-what's wrong baby? What's making you stressed?

N- The twins for the past week they've just not stopped crying, both of them. If they go to sleep it's usually only for an hour or two and then they wake up again. Y/n and I have barely gotten any sleep and it's making us both stressed

M- Are they sick?

N-no they aren't sick, we've checked their temperatures regularly , nothing wrong with them but I just don't understand why their crying all the time

M- Are they teething?

N- They're 4 months old, why would they be teething?

M- you were early Niall, you were around the same age when you started teething so they could be early like you, but if they are it will take a while for their teeth to come through so I suggest you get them some teething toys instead of you having more sleepless nights

N- Okay we will, thank you so much mum, I don't know what we'd do without you, Love you

M- I love you too Niall, now go buy your babies some teething toys, bye son

N- bye mum

I walked back into the living room where y/n and the twins were. I took my crying daughter from y/n's arms as she held Ethan.  "What did Maura say?" Y/n asked.
"They're probably teething, so she said we should buy some teething toys for them" I told her sitting next to her.
"Teething? But they're only 4 months old?" She said.
"I know, that's what I said, but my mum said that I started teething around their age so they could be early like I was , she said it would take a while for them to actually have teeth though" I explained and she nodded.
"Should we leave them with one of the boys so we can get teething toys? I don't fancy taking them out when they are constantly crying" she said and I nodded.

Louis POV (different one for ya ;).   )

I was sat at home alone and I heard a knock on the door and what sounded like a baby's cry.

I got up and answered the door to be met with Niall and y/n with their 4 month old twins.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked since they never usually show up so unexpectedly.
"Can you look after the twins for 15 minutes we have some errands to do" Niall asked.
"Sure" I said and he handed me his son and daughter. "Thanks Louis, we will be 15 minutes at the most, you're a life saver" she said .

They left me with their crying babies and I closed the door taking the twins into the living room and sitting down with them.

"Come on, stop crying for uncle Lou" I said kissing their heads.
I looked at the twins, I didn't realise how much they look like Niall.
"Now I know why you're mummy and daddy left you both with me, to get some quiet time" I chuckled.

I put my pinky finger in Ethan's mouth and felt his gums. "Definitely teething!" I said and he started to bite down on my pinky and calm down. It didn't hurt though. I used my other pink to put in Aaliyah's mouth and she calmed down as I felt her gums. "Both early birds aren't you, teething already" I said.

Not long after y/n and Niall came into my living room.
"Who did you get them to stop crying!?" Niall asked surprised.
"Put your pinky on their mouths for them to bite on " I said and they nodded. "Looks like we're going to be doing that until these teething toys are cold enough" y/n said.

Y/n took Ethan from me and Niall took Aaliyah from me. Both of the babies burst out crying. Niall sighed.

Niall's POV

As soon as we got home, y/n put the teething toys in the fridge and we sat on the sofa, me holding Aaliyah with my pinky in her mouth and y/n was with Ethan, her pinky in his mouth.
