Crying is the sound that wakes me at half past two. I roll over and reach for Niall but when my hand comes in contact with an empty bed, I sigh. I throw the covers off my body and stand to my feet. My bare feet pad across the wood floor as I make my way into the nursery. Niall comes in behind me and grabs a hold of my arm.
"I got this one, love. Go back to bed."
"What are you doing up?" I ask before picking up Addison.
"Was hungry, got a snack before I heard you two. Here, let me take her, I know you haven't gotten much sleep these past few weeks," Niall says reaching out. I pass Addison off to her daddy with a sigh.
"I know we're supposed to take turns but I'm just worried about her," I say softly.
"I know, baby. Just go back to bed, I'll take care of her. Get some sleep," he tells me before placing a kiss on my forehead. I nod and fumble my way out of the nursery and back into our room. I lay back in the bed and cuddle into the covers with a loud content full sigh.
For the past two weeks, Addison's been in and out of the doctors office with Colic. She's constantly crying and worrying Niall and I. Doctors say she'll be fine but it still worries the crap out of me.
I awake to the smell of bacon and eggs. My stomach grumbles and I stand to my feet. I wrap my robe around my body before making my way down the stairs.
"Good morning," Harry greets as I enter the kitchen. Niall turns around from the stove and peppers my face in kisses.
"How'd you sleep?"
"Perfectly. You?"
"Ehh, was up all night with Addy," he replies and I frown.
"I found him scrunched up in her crib snuggling her so she'd sleep," Gemma informs me walking into the kitchen holding Addison.
"Really?" I ask.
"She sleeps better that way," Niall says sheepishly. He places bacon on a platter before setting it on the table for everyone to fill their plates. Next he lays down the eggs and everyone digs in.
Addison begins to cry and grab at Gemma's chest before she smiles at me.
"Someone's hungry," she says as I take Addison in my open arms.
"Let's go get your belly full huh, baby?"
I take her up the stairs and into the nursery as she continues to cry.
"Hang on, baby. Give mommy a minute." I sit in the rocking chair and pull my top up just enough for my nipple to poke out. I shift Addy so she has easy access and she begins to suck. I rock her back and forth as she gasps and mumbles as she sucks out my milk.
Halfway through her breakfast there's a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's me," Harry says through the door. "Gemma's not feeling well so I'm gonna take her back to the hospital. Niall's cleaning up down stairs and he saved you some breakfast. They may be admitting her so I'll keep you updated. Love you."
"Love you, too," I shout through the room loud enough for him to hear me from the other side of the door.
"You almost done there yet, peanut? Mommy's hungry too, you know."
Moments later there's another knock on the door before Niall enters the room with a tray holding a plate of food and a glass of orange juice.
"Babe, you didn't have to," I say pushing my head up to give him a kiss. He pecks my lips and sits in the chair next to the rocker.
