You Make Me Stronger

"Okay, I'll see you in a few days. Bye, dad." Niall hung up the phone and gently rubbed his stomach.

Harry and Liam were going away for a few days, and had asked Niall and Josh to babysit Louis and Zayn, and Niall had instantly said yes. He loved his little siblings!

"Josh, is the nursery ready?"

"Just about, why?"

"My parents are going away for a few days and need a babysitter, and I had said yes, so we're going to need the nursery."

"If Zayn sleeps in the crib, where's Louis going to sleep?"

"Well, with us, in our bed, where else?"

"Really? But what if I want to do you all night?"

"You're just going to have to last until they leave."

"But you're pregnant...your hormones are all out of whack, plus you're increasingly horny."

"How do you know I'm always horny? Have you been reading my baby books?"

"Well, yeah, I have to know what's going on too, you know?"

"You're lucky you're cute." Niall patted his cheek.

Josh grabbed him and kissed him. "You know, this baby is going to bring us closer."

"Aww, sweetie, the baby brought us closer the minute we found out." Niall smiled.

Josh hugged him. "I love you." Then he bent down. "And I love you, little bean. Are you being good for Mummy?"

Josh looked up to see Niall glaring down at him. "What's that look for?"

"I am not Mummy. I'm Papa and you're Daddy."

"Oh please, I call you Mummy in bed." Josh smirked.

"Yeah, and I call you Daddy in bed, so what's the difference?"

Josh rolled his eyes. "When are your siblings coming?"

"A few days, I don't think my parents are really going anywhere. I just think they want a break from the kids."

"Well, anyway, we're going to have fun with them. What if we invited Perrie to stay, too? She has a massive crush on Louis."

"Sure, besides, I think Louis is quite smitten with her, too. I am a little bummed she doesn't have a crush on me anymore, but I guess you're okay, too."

Josh rolled his eyes, but smiled nonetheless.

"Hi, babies, I know we're going to have lots of fun this week!" Niall cooed in his baby voice for his little brothers.

"Hi!" Louis squealed, and ran inside.

"Hi, little Zaynie!" Josh smiled and took Zayn from Liam's arms since Niall was so far along in his pregnancy, his doctor strictly told him he wasn't allowed to lift or hold heavy items.

"Thanks for taking them this week. We really appreciate it." Harry said.

"Are things alright with you two?"

"Yeah! Oh yeah! Yeah, we're totally fine! We just need a break from the kids, plus, we thought you could use some practice with your incoming baby, and what better practice than with your siblings?"

"And Perrie! She's coming later today."

"Oh good, Lou hasn't stopped talking about her, we think he has a crush on her."

"Don't worry. Pez has a little crush on him too."

"Are you okay with that, Niall?"

"I'm a little bummed, but I think I'll be okay. Besides, I got the next best thing." Niall said, wrapping his arms around Josh's middle. "I got him."

"Well, we really should be going. Haz, you ready?"

"Yep. Bye, Zaynie, Daddy loves you. Bye, Louis! I love you!"

"Bye, Daddy!"

"Well, we'll see you in a few days. Bye, guys."

"Bye." They parted ways, and Niall closed his door.

"I'm going to put the kids down before Perrie gets here. We all know once she gets here, Louis won't sleep or do anything without her." Niall laughed.

"That is true. I think my mums could use a break from her, too. What with the new pregnancy and all."

"True, come on, guys, lets take a quick nap before Josh's sister gets here."

"Perrie! Perrie! Perrie! Joshie, Perrie come too!"

"Yeah, bugger, Perrie's coming too, so let's take a quick snooze before she gets here so we can play all night long with her."

"Yay!" Louis squealed. "We take nap now."

"Yeah, we take a nap now."

Josh laughed.
