One Direction...All Dads? Series

Chapter 16.

                                                                      10 months later...

"Hush, Ellie." 

I smiled as i rocked the baby back and forward, pushing a lock of golden blond hair away from her eyes.

She peered up at me with her big blue orbs, and managed a little lopsided smile.

"Awh, hows the little baby?" Lucy asked, coming into my room.

After college had ended, Lucy allowed me to stay in her apartment that she stayed in with her boyfriend, before i could find a place to stay.

Of course, this was extremely awkward. Her boyfriend, Finn, hated my guts. Apparently, I was responsible for all their heating, water, and lighting.

Truthfully, i stayed in my room, no heat, no air conditioner, the lights turned off. I would walk to Dominicks just to pee or get out of that apartment.

"When's Finn getting back?" I asked.

"In 3 hours." She sighed, sitting cross legged by me.

"He hates me." I groaned.

She rolled her eyes and laughed. "He does not. He's just...jealous."

"Jealous?"

"Please just leave it at that."

We laughed, and i gave Ellie to Lucy, allowing her to cradle her. 

"I can feel her hot breath. She's adorable." Lucy breathed, feeling Ellie's heartbeat, and tickling her little chubby feet.

"And looks so much like Niall."

I frowned.

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" She quietly exclaimed, squeezing my knee. 

"It's fine." I laughed, stroking Ellie's head, feeling the little peach fuzz, and her warm ears.

"I can't wait until i have a baby." Lucy sighed.

With her overly arrogant and rude boyfriend, Finn? I would truthfully feel bad for her.

"Hopefully you will one day, hun." I said, getting up and getting Ellie's baby bottle from the nightstand.

"Do you want to feed her?" I asked.

Lucy smiled and nodded, reaching her hand out, to take the ivory, cream colored thick formula in the bottle. Then she placed it slowly in Ellie's mouth, watching her suck it at an instance, her eyes wandering around, her tiny hands moving.

"So did your parents move for good?" Lucy asked. In her voice was a twinge of guilt for asking the question.

"I don't even know. My mum didn't even tell me the information. Just that they were leaving."

She nodded.

"But maybe the house is empty. Maybe they left it for you. Maybe they didn't sell it, or something."

"I doubt it, Luce. They probably rented it to somebody."

"There's no harm in checking, right?" She asked, her girl hormones and energy suddenly kicking in overdrive.

"Yeah! We should check! Make sure! Just in case." She added on, still holding the bottle to Ellie's mouth.

I watched Ellie's plump, pink lips for a while before looking back up to Lucy. 

"Maybe. But can you come, too?"

"Well i have a day break in 2 days from Med School." She groaned.
