Niall Horan Child Preferences 3

#73 Back to work

Our daughter, Aaliyah is now 6 months old which means that my maternity leave is over. I could stay on maternity leave for a little longer but I want to get back into my normal routine and it also gives Niall the chance to spend a little extra time with our baby.

"Are you sure you'll be okay with her?" I asked Niall for the what seemed like the tenth time . "Yes" He said as he took her from me and held her.
"Me and you are going to have so much fun! Yes we are!" He said to her in a baby voice making her giggle and smile.
I smiled at their relationship, She was definitely a daddy's girl just like Niall wanted her to be.
"Now don't worry about us, we will be fine, you worry about getting back into routine at work" he said and I nodded smiling.
He kissed my lips and then I kissed Aaliyah's cheek.
I said goodbye to both of them and left for the little cafe I work at.

I walked behind the counter and put my apron on and tied my long hair up.

"Y/n!" My colleague Ella said happily.
"Ella!" I said and hugged her.

"Wow! You do my look like you had a baby!" She said.
"Thanks" I said.
Ella and I had gotten to know each other through work.

"So how's the little one? And how's Niall taken everything?" She asked.
"She's gorgeous , she's such a happy baby, always smiling and giggling , specifically at Niall"I told her and she smiled.
"So how did Niall take to everything?" She asked.
""Well he made it his mission to make her a daddy's girl and he's succeeded.
During the first few weeks he was amazing, he got up with her in the nights since I was exhausted . Honestly, he loves her so much, he literally smiles whenever he sees her. During the whole labour he never left my side, only to tell his parents what was happening and he never complained about me squeezing his hand or anything" I explained.
"Aww" she cooed.

"Do you want to see some pictures of her?" I asked and she nodded eagerly.

"This is Niall holding her for the first time" I said showing her a picture.
"Aww she's so small and is he crying?" She asked and I nodded chuckling.
"This is her when she was around one month old, Niall took this picture of me pushing the pram when we were on a walk" I said.
"That pram is gorgeous" she said.
"Almost as cute as the baby in it" she added giggling.
"It is isn't t? It's a silver cross one,Niall actually chose it" I told her.
"This is her when she was two months old, this was when she started developing her personality and you can see her actual eye colour on this one" I explained.
"Wow, she does look like Niall! The eyes, the hair and everything" she said.
"Yeah, She has his hair, eyes, mouth and face shape and she has my nose" I said.
"This is when she was 5 months old, she also acts a lot like Niall, she definitely takes after him" I said.
"She's always happy and she quite carefree like him but I think she'll end up being a little shy" I said.
"She is so gorgeous" she said.
"I know, she is such a dream baby, she rarely cries, most babies cry about everything she only cries if she needs something like if she's hungry or needs a nappy change" I explained.
"This One was taken yesterday , she started teething so that's a teething toy in her mouth" I said.
"She is so cute, such a mini Niall" she said and I agreed.

We talked and chatted about our families and our lives as we served customers and cleaned up.

"So how long have you and Niall been married now?" She asked.
"Just over a year" I told her.
"Do you think it'll last? That's my me being horrible it's just because this day in age no one really stays together forever anymore and not that many people actually get married" she explained.
"I'd like to think so, Niall and I both know what it's like to live with divorced parents and it's my something we'd want our kids to go through and I honestly think we're 'made for each other'. I know it sounds cheesy but I couldn't see myself with anyone else and we rarely argue and if we do we always make up" I explained.
"I actually do think you and Niall will be the couple that everyone's like 'what they're still together?' When you're like 76, you're already the couple everyone's jealous of because you're relationships perfect" she chuckled.

"Well I hope we stay together, and I know Niall wouldn't do anything to mess anything up" I said.

"Serious question? Will you be popping anymore babies out I'm the future?" She asked.
"Definitely, we've already talked about it. We've agreed to have 3 children maybe mor if things happen but we are gonna wait until Aaliyah's 2 or 3 before we have the next one. We want them all close in age but not that close so there would be two babies at once" I explained.

I got home at 9pm. I started my shift at 5pm so we had all already had dinner together.

I came home to a quiet house.
I took my shoes off, hing my coat up and put my keys in the bowl.

I walked into the Living room and saw Niall watching the tv which was quite low because Aaliyah was lied in his arms , sleeping peacefully against his chest as he smiled down at her, his eyes full of love and adoration.

"How did it go love?" He asked quietly.
"Good, it's nice to talk to people that aren't family, the boys or you, Ella's still there so I was talking to her about the baby and she said that she's gorgeous and looks a lot like you" I told him sitting next to him looking at our daughter sleeping peacefully in her fathers arms.
"She is, she's my gorgeous little princess" he whispered and I agreed.
