Small Bump ( Niall Horan Fanfic! :D)

Chapter Twenty Three: Christmas Part Two.

Niall's POV

"Fat, lazy and ugly." Were the words that made my heart sink. I look at lyric when she turned around expecting my mom, but instead I was there. Her facial expression was surprised but it quickly changed with tears streaming down her cheeks. I couldn't help but let out a few tears myself as I wrapped my arms around her and held her against me as she cried into my chest. I began to gently stroke her hair and back to give her some comfort.

"Princess, why didn't you tell me you felt this way? You know I love you and don't think you are any of those things. It's not good to keep things bottled up." I say soothingly. She stayed quiet as her head rested on my shoulder. I held her protectively against me, extremely upset that she thought that way. I began to sway back and forth just thinking about her. Then it all hit me.

Lyric hasn't been eating right since the twins were born. She doesn't dress the same as she used too, she seems to dress as she's hiding herself. She barely lets me touch her, not like this, but in loving, pleasing ways. I've barely seen her naked since she first got pregnant, not that it counts, but what happened to my Lyric who used to be so comfortable around me? I'm not to sure, but I'm definitely going to get her back.

I kissed her forehead as I pulled myself out of my thoughts. "You're definitely not any of those things baby." I said trying to comfort her. She kept her head on my shoulder which was becoming damp with her tears.

"I am too." She mumbled her voice full of tears. "I'm so disgusting." She cried.

"Shhh, baby girl you're not." I say holding her comfortingly. I then come up with an idea, but I'm going to save that until when we get home.

"Will you be mine when we get home?" I ask gently.

"You don't want me Niall, I'm to flabby for you." She tells me as she starts to look at me.

"You're most definitely not. You're perfect to me." I smile at her and kiss her lips gently.

"After we get the twins to bed once we are home, your mine no matter what. Deal?" I say to her with a smile.

"Are you sure you want me Niall?" She asks insecurely.

"Of course I want you. You're my beautiful wife, and the mother of my children. I'll always want you. No matter what sweetheart." I smile then reattach my lips with hers.

I was in the car waiting with the twins as Lyric went and visited with her parents grave. She always invited me to go, but that was her private time, and this time I had the twins so I couldn't go with her. It was about and hour later when Lyric came back and got inside the car. I was sitting in the warm car, playing on my phone while the twins slept, as she got in.

"It's so warm in here." She smiles pulling off her gloves and wiping away her tears sneakily, so I wouldn't know she was crying, but I already knew.

"Very warm, how was it?" I ask her gently. She sniffles her nose before speaking.

"Good." She says confidently buckling up and taking my hand. I smiled and started to pull away as the car was already started. "It was really nice to talk to mom, I got a lot of things off my chest." She says gently as I pull onto the highway.

"That's wonderful Lyric." I give her hand a gentle squeeze. "She's always with you, ya know." I tell her.

"Yeah I know babe. I feel her presence when I'm at home with the twins, or when your home dad is with us too. You both were very close." She says.

"Yeah very close. Do you want to know what's weird baby?"

"What?" She asks curiously.

"One time when I was watching a game of footie with your dad, he said that I already had his permission to marry you."

"Really?!" She asks with excitement.

"Yeah, and it's when we first started dating to." I say.

"Oh wow. Dad never made decisions without a request he must've really liked you." She says which makes me smile.

We get home nearly three hours later and it's around ten o'clock. We change the twins and tuck them each into their cribs. Lyric had gone down stairs to pick up from this mornings breakfast as I went into our master bathroom and started to fill up our large tub. I added flower petals, bath salts, and bubbles. I pulled out two towels and grabbed her loofa and tossed it into the bath. I set up some vanilla candles, and dimmed the lights. I set up our bed room the same way making sure the bed is made and tossing petals all over the place. Sex was the last thing on my mind tonight. Tonight was all about Lyric and making her feel better.

"Honey?" I called as I rounded the living room corner and found Lyric in the kitchen sipping on some water. I went over and took her hand.

"Come on Lyric tonight is all about you." I smile and lead her to our bathroom. I help her undress where she kept trying to hide herself.

"There's no need to hide baby girl." I smile helping her into the deep tub.

"I'm just so uncomfortable, I know you don't like it Niall."

"Baby, I love it, and I love you. I could care less about your body. It's what on the inside that counts." I smile and gently kiss her.

"Are you going to join me?" She asks with a blush.

"Well I made the bath for you, but I will join if you'd like."

"I would love you too." She smiles. I undress and slip in behind her. She curls into my chest. I gently scoop up water in my hand and pour it over her.

"This is amazing baby. Thank you so much." She kisses my jaw bone.

"Anything for my beautiful princess." I smile at her. She blushes some more. I chuckle and kiss her forehead softly as I bring then loofa up out of the water and gently run it against her back. She grins and cuddles more into me.

"Lyric this is suppose to be a relaxing bath for you, not a cuddle session." I say and kiss her forehead and that's when I notice when she's almost fallen asleep. I shake her a bit. "Lyric get up sweetheart, you can't sleep in the bath tub." I say and move her off my lap and climb out. I wrap a towel around my waist then help her out, with her minor protests. I wrap a towel around her and carry her bridal style through the door and into our bedroom.

"Feels like our wedding day Ni, except we weren't naked." She giggles tiredly as I lay her down on our bed grabbing her a pair of underwear and one of my shirts she loves to wear. I slip on some boxers and grab a bottle of lotion also. I help her get dressed and start to massage her legs and feet.

"Ni don't have to do this." She says in a very sleepy state.

"You deserve it honey, you work so hard taking care of the twins, the house, and even me." I smile thankful for her. I continue, and smile as I watch her start to drift off to sleep.

"Lyric Horan?" I ask

"Hmm?" She says slowly starting curl up so I put the lotion on her night stand and get in bed covering us both up.

"I love you so much, thank you for everything that you've done. You are not ugly, fat, nor lazy. Your the most gorgeous girl ever. I'm so glad you are mine and no one else's. I'm glad you're the mother of our children and take care of them so well. You're the best person ever and always care about others before yourself. I just can't get enough of you, you're the best thing that's ever happened to me. Thank you so much Lyric." I say.

"I love you so much Niall James." She says then kisses me afterwards cuddling into me.

"I love you too, Lyric Rose." I smile and close my eyes.

"Good night Niall, I love you.." She says falling asleep.

"Good night princess. I love you too." I promise.

"Niall?" She asks.

"Yeah?" I ask her.

"Merry Christmas."

I chuckle a tiny bit, "Merry Christmas to you to baby girl."
